Clear Toolbelt at game start and set filters?

[Arumba]

I would like to have my default 10 filters set every time I start a game. I always use the exact same ones and I have a tendency to iterate my factories, so always having to reset my filters is... manual. I would like to automate this process.

Setting the filters up by default would be the best solution, but if not that then I will just give myself a single unit of each item type in the correct order so that they will line up on my belt at game start in the order I normally use. However, at game start you are given a burner miner and a stone furnace, and those start in slots 1 and 2. Is there a way to remove everything from the toolbelt before I give items to myself so that slots 1 and 2 can be empty and receive the correct item?

Code: Select all

local inventory = player.get_inventory(defines.inventory.player_quickbar)
inventory.set_filter(1,"transport-belt")
inventory.set_filter(2,"inserter")
inventory.set_filter(3,"medium-electric-pole")

Okay, thanks! I think I have made some significant progress with my mod now! Here is the code in case anyone is looking for the solution in the future:

Code: Select all

-- first we establish starting inventory and filters upon player first joining a game
script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)
	game.players[event.player_index].color = {r = 0, g = 0, b = 1, a = .7};  -- change player color to blue	
	local player = game.players[event.player_index]
		local inventory = player.get_inventory(defines.inventory.player_quickbar)
		inventory.clear()
		inventory.set_filter(1,"transport-belt")
		inventory.set_filter(2,"inserter")
		inventory.set_filter(3,"underground-belt")

Code: Select all

local player = game.players[event.player_index]

That needs to be at the top of the function.
