Context

Some time ago I created my version of Star whit items, but I couldn't get the GUI to look like the Vanilla GUI.

Now that I'm updating it, I'm in the same place, I don't know what styles to use and in what sequence to use; I also didn't find updated guides on the subject.

I tried to check the GUI with Ctrl + F5 and Ctrl + F6 but I don't understand anything. It's a lot of Flow and I always seem to be missing some detail.

Below is the GUI I made some time ago.

What I want from the GUI

I want it to look like the infinite chest, with a blank space always at the end (to add the next item).

When I want to add a new object, the list of objects (like the one in the requirement chests) will be displayed.

I need help with the GUI, I code the logic.

Help me, Please

I have created a Frame as the main container
But I don't know how to add the buttons in the title bar.
In the images you can see that there are two children

How can I select a children from an element?

Code: Select all

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---> control.lua <---
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)
    local player = game.get_player(event.player_index)
    local screen_element = player.gui.screen
    local main_frame = screen_element.add({
        type    = "frame",
        name    = "main_frame",
        style   = "frame_without_left_side",
        caption = "Hello world"
    })
    main_frame.style.size = { 484, 632 }
    main_frame.auto_center = true

    -- main_frame.children[1].add({
    --     type = "button",
    --     style = "close_button"
    -- })
end)
