CCnet wiring manipulation: wiring, probing, un-wiring

Post by MF- »

The modding API allows electric poles to be wired (standard wiring) and such connection to be probed for.
It would be nice if the same feature was available for the CCnet wires as well.

While un-wiring is not directly supported, blackence did find a hacky way around
See the bottom of this post for a video / description / download of the proof-of-concept mod:

I learned, that the player can in fact un-wire CCnet wiring manually.

CCnet wiring is also possible (since 0.10.0):

Oh, the "Expanded connectneighbour-method" has an optional parameter now, thanks.

Is there a way how to selectively un-wire connections?
Can pole.neighbours even read CCnet wire presence (otherwise the un-wiring hack cannot be applied)?

Am I supposed to create a new thread for probing / un-wiring CCnet wires?

Yay, un-wiring is implemented in 0.11
Added disconnectneighbour: used with electric poles; takes the circuit connector to disconnect - none to disconnect standard copper wire.
The changelong doesn't mention any wire-detection mechanism, though
EDIT: For CCnet wiring that is.

This should be moved to implemented requests. All three features exist now, provided by LuaEntity::connect_neighbour, LuaEntity::disconnect_neighbour and LuaEntity::circuit_connection_definitions.
