Few issues, placed a Forcefield Emitter and got this. Error while running the event handler: __Force Fields__/control.lua:862: attempt to compare nil with number.
Also this one when I use a Force Field Tool on a Force Field Emitter. Error while running the event handler: __Force Fields__/control.lua:1395: LuaGameScript doesn't contain key get_localised_entity_name.

I'll take a look at them and get them fixed :)

You can use a dummy-laser to drain power without running into priority issues. Suppress it's attack in whichever way you want, set it's capacity really high, and remove the passive drain. I have one in my Modular Armor Revamp mod, which works that way.

I should have a fix out this weekend. I've had finals this past week so I haven't been able to put time towards this.

Just fix it by youself, in "control.lua" (s.862) just wrap that compare in two checks:

Code: Select all

if field.health ~= nil then
	if forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] ~= nil then
		if field.health >= forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] then
			  table.remove(emitterTable["generating-fields"], k)
		end
	end
end
There is another bug - purple field will throw an exception when destroyed, but it can be fixed by removing

Code: Select all

deathEntity = "forcefield-death-damage"
in beginning of the same file. That removes main feature of purple fields, but prevent further exceptions.

That won't fix the real bug. That just suppresses it.

I'll look into both of these and get them fixed hopefully tonight.

Hey guys, since the author hasn't responded yet, I figured out what was causing the simple crashes. He forgot to include the max health value in the tables.

Here is a quick fix version.

They're meant to get populated automatically from the in-game values for those entities. Sorry about not updating this yet - I've been super busy recently.

I'm getting an error in control.lua on line 788, attempting to index a nil value. I'm not entirely sure what's causing this to trigger in-game, as sometimes it'll happen as soon as I put down an emitter, sometime it won't happen for a few minutes afterwards.

Same, I'm also noticing that the original post has not been updated since 2014, has the file in the download link been updated?

It has, I'm not sure why it doesn't show the correct edit date...

I believe I've fixed the error above and I've updated the download and version again.

Try changing some text in the first post as well (just add a space or something) in addition to changing the attachment. That should change it to the right date...

As moderator the edit date is only updated when you also add an edit reason. If you don't want a reason to be displayed, edit the post again and remove the reason.
