GUI Label Issue

[metzyn]

GUI labels are cut off and only extend to the proper length after you save the game and then load it... but if you start a new game again, the label's horizontal size gets trimmed again. Is there anyway around this or a bug?

This is a bug (thank you for the report), Do you have some simple piece of code that shows it?
(My labels are working correctly, but I'm probably using it differently)

This is code to display a digital clock for a new mod I'm working on... contained within my "control.lua":

Code: Select all

require "defines"

game.oninit(function()
	game.player.gui.left.add{
		type="label",
		name="label_time",
		caption="time"
	}
end)

game.onevent(defines.events, function(event)
	if event.name == defines.events.ontick then
	
		game.player.gui.left.label_time.font = {
			color = {r=1, g=1, b=1},
			bold = true
		}
		
		-- format time
		local time = game.getdaytime()
		time = time + 0.5
		if time > 1 then
			time = time - 1
		end
		
		-- format hour
		local hour = math.floor(time * 24)
		local meridiem = "AM"
		if hour > 12 then
			hour = hour - 12
			meridiem = "PM"
		end
		
		-- format minute
		--local minute = math.floor(60 * ((time * 24) - (time * 24)))
		local minute = math.floor(60 * ((time * 24) - math.floor(time * 24)))
		if minute < 10 then
			minute = "0" .. minute
		end
		
		-- display time
		game.player.gui.left.label_time.caption =
			hour .. ":" .. minute .. " " .. meridiem
			
	end
end)
