Personal Roboport Perimeter Rhombus

Post by Prymal »

I wish I could always see the limit of my personal roboport construction area on the game world. When holding a blueprint, the area is shaded in green. I would like the perimeter of that square to stay drawn even without a blueprint in hand.

It's relatively complicated mod, where are you need to work with control.lua, global data, events on build, on remove, on entity died, also lua rendering, where you put lines on the ground, make the table element with list of lines and this roboport entity. When this entity will be somehow destroyed, then remove this lines from surface.

Thanks for sharing, but that's not quite what I seek. I want the border of the roboport that is in my power armor the be drawn, not the stationary roboports.
