[Resolved] Robot placing tile - Issue

[TheSAguy]

Hi,

This is probably not a BUG! I've asked on the forums and no one seems to know why the behavior though... So I thought I'd post it here so a dev could take a look. - Low Priority

for now.[/color]
I have a problem, when placing my Musk floors using robots. The hidden wires don't connect.
The issue does not happen with player placing the floors.

I've attached a save that's ready to go with this problem. <-- Can't post of Forums, so on Dropbox

Here is an image of player placing the floors:

Player Code

Code: Select all

local function Player_Tile_Built(event)

	local player = game.players[event.player_index]
	local surface = player and player.surface

	for i, vv in ipairs(event.tiles) do
		local position = vv.position
		local currentTilename = surface.get_tile(position.x,position.y).name
		
		if currentTilename == "bi-solar-mat" then
			writeDebug("Solar Mat has been built")
			
			local force = event.force
			local solar_mat = surface.get_tile(position.x,position.y)
			local sm_pole_name = "bi_solar_pole"  
			local sm_panel_name = "bi_solar-panel_for_Solar-Mat"  
			  
			local create_sm_pole = surface.create_entity({name = sm_pole_name, position = {position.x + 0.5, position.y + 0.5}, force = force})
			local create_sm_panel = surface.create_entity({name = sm_panel_name, position = {position.x + 0.5, position.y + 0.5}, force = force})
			  
			create_sm_pole.minable = false
			create_sm_pole.destructible = false
			create_sm_panel.minable = false
			create_sm_panel.destructible = false
		
		else	
		
			local radius = 0.5
			local area = {{position.x - radius, position.y - radius}, {position.x + radius, position.y + radius}}
			writeDebug("NOT Solar Mat")
			local entities = surface.find_entities(area)
			local entity1 = entities[1]
			entity1 = surface.find_entities_filtered{area=area, name="bi_solar_pole", limit=1}
				
			if entity1 then 		
			
				for _, o in pairs(surface.find_entities_filtered({area = area, name = "bi_solar_pole"})) do o.destroy() end	

				writeDebug("bi_solar_pole Removed")
			else
				writeDebug("bi_solar_pole not found")				
			end
				
			--- Remove the Hidden Solar Panel		
			local entity2 = entities[1]
			entity2 = surface.find_entities_filtered{area=area, name="bi_solar-panel_for_Solar-Mat", limit=1}	
			
			if entity2 then 
					
				for _, o in pairs(surface.find_entities_filtered({area = area, name = "bi_solar-panel_for_Solar-Mat"})) do o.destroy() end	

				writeDebug("bi_solar-panel_for_Solar-Mat Removed")
			else
				writeDebug("bi_solar-panel_for_Solar-Mat not found")				
			end

Robot Placed tiles:

		return
	end
	
	for i, vv in ipairs(event.tiles) do
	local position = vv.position

As you can see, the wires are not connecting as they should.
Thanks

Can you please upload the mod that's having the problem(s)?

[Rseding91]

Thanks for the report. You've simply typod your robot version of the function where it doesn't add 0.5 to each tile position before making the electric poles. Considering the 2 functions are near identical in contents I think it would make more sense if you just made 1 function that took a surface, force, and the tiles and did the work in that so you don't have a copy-paste of the same code.

Since there's no game bug here I'm going to move this to mod-help.

Thanks a lot Rseding!
Was driving me nuts.

Thanks Again!!
