[Solved] Turn event.name into actual event name?

I'm trying to figure out an inter-mod conflict. Part of that is trying to figure out exactly which event is being sent between mods and that it's handled correctly. When I print out event.name, I get '78'. I was hoping for, ya know, an actual name (like script_raised_destroy -- what I expect to find). How can I get the text-version of the event name?

Code: Select all
local function reverse_event(id)
for name, event_id in pairs(defines.events) do
if id == event_id then
return name
end
end
end
game.print(reverse_event(78))
That should do it

For future readers: It's much more efficient to do this as a table lookup:
Code: Select all
local reverse = (function(r) for k,v in pairs(defines.events) do r[v]=k end return r end){}
