[2.0] Be able to read/write interrupts for trains/space platforms

Post by LuziferSenpai »

Hey,

it would be nice if we could r/w interrupts.
Currently my mod Automatic Coupling System has a lot of problem, because of the new interrupt & group logic.
Specially because I cant read/write the interrupts.

Greetz,

Luzifer

Yes please. Reading and writing train schedule interrupt conditions and station stops is very much needed for many mods. Among them will be the Space Exploration space elevators. I hope it can be added before 2.1.

This will also be critical for Factorio Access, though getting this far is a while out for us. We'll need to be able to implement an alternative UI for it.

I also need in a Rail Logistics Dispatcher mod - the mod manages the train schedule, which erases interruptions.

I wanted to implement something like this, but no way to manage interrupts in lua ATM

Looks like my mod exiguous-train-caller is deleting all Interupts too, need some way to modify the Schedule without wiping them.
I havent lost my mind, it's backed up on tape somewhere.

Nice hack :lol: You might not need to generate a helper surface if you put the blueprint item in a Script Inventory and used it from there.

You can only copy the settings from a built locomotive. It doesn't work from a blueprint. That's why I build it on a hidden surface.

Similarly seeing interrupts cleared when amending schedules via lua

I tried the hack, but it work only when the loco is in a group. Is this normal or I made a mistake?

Yes, that's consistent. The train has to be in a group, and there has to be at least one other train in the group for it to copy from when you assign the group. You could script-create a hidden train to make sure that is always true.

It is currently impossible to modify the schedule via script, which includes modifying which entry the train is currently going to, if interrupts are desired to remain. You can restore the interrupts by reassigning the group, but that overwrites all your changes to the main schedule too and resets the train to the first entry in the schedule.

The first entry can be fixed with LuaTrain.go_to_station(index)

But yes, I still cant wait until we FINALLY can edit interrupts via script :(
