on_player_fast_transferred Problem

[Selmak-TokRa]

Hello,

I have a problem with the event "on_player_fast_transferred".
Anywer on the Forum or redit (I can't remember) I have read, that this event triggers if the player transfer items with ctrl/shift from an inventory to another. Is this right?

In my code it does nothing.

Code: Select all

local function OnPlayerFastTransferred(event)
  ConsoleOutput("fast transfer event")
end

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_fast_transferred, OnPlayerFastTransferred)

Thanks for help

If i recall, ConsoleOutput() sends the text to the lua console used to start the game. If you start the game normally it goes nowhere.

Use game.print("fast transfer event") instead to print to the in-game chat.

The ConsoleOutput() function print it to the in-game-console/chat.
To ignore my function, I have changed it in game.print("fast transfer event"). Result: nothing happend

It worked for me using game.print().

Your info.json or folder name may be broken, resulting in the mod doing nothing. Check %appdata%/factorio/factorio-current.log to see if the mod was loaded.

I got it. But it does not what I want.
I thought it triggers if both Inventories are open and the items were transfered over the GUI with ctrl/shift.

IMO is this also a fast transfer.

"fast transfer" is the name associated with ctrl + click to transfer an item to/from an entity when the GUI is not opened.

"Stack transfer" is the name used for all GUI versions of transferring items of which there are no events.

They are both just internal names we used for the logic which then got used for the lua event and key bindings.
