LuaEquipmentGrid Owner

Another one for grids

LuaEquipmentGrid Owner the entity/item_stack that this grid belongs too.

Useful during on_player_put_item so you know where the grid is

Equipment grids do not know who owns them so that information is not available to expose in the Lua API.

So every time the event fires to tell me a player put a foo_equipment in a grid, I need to walk the tree down to game.players.get_inventory(defines.inventory.defines.inventory.player_armor)[1].grid.get_contents()["foo_equipment"] to see if they are now wearing one? And I need to keep track of that count in a global so that next time the event fires I can see if they added one vs put it in another grid that I don't care about?

just player.character.grid works

That does shorten it significantly. Removes a lot of my concerns about repeated lua lookup times. Thanks!

In case mods add grids to vehicles.
How would you access the locomotive or car the player put the equipment into?

Do we have to keep track of all equipment inside all vehicles and parse through that to find changes?

[Nexela]

Code: Select all

on_put_equipment(event)
  local player = games.players[event.player_index]
  if player.opened and player.opened.grid == event.grid then
     entity_putting_in = player.opened
  end
end
