[Lou][2.0.52] Super forced build from clipboard not generate enough events

[root]

This is follow up on 128717

What did you do?
1. Build inserter in horizontal direction
2. Select and copy inserter with ctr+c

What happened?
Only on_pre_build event emitted

What did you expect to happen instead?
I expect more events. At least on_player_rotated_entity or maybe even on_player_flipped_entity in case it was flipped

Where'd you get that log? Is there a debug tool for events?

I’m still feeling side effects from workarounds to this bug. I’d like to link the accidental duplicate bug report that I made for this: viewtopic.php?p=674604#p674604

I hope the alternate account for the reproduction (with videos) helps find a solution.

I am suffering from this bug as well.

Building an entity with a different rotation on top of another via the clipboard (like one might do when pasting a recipe from one machine to another, or rotating many machines in bulk) doesn't raise on_player_rotated_entity, despite having rotated the entity.

This is a problem for me, since my mod has compound entities which need to support rotations. Right now, with this bug, I can't support those rotations without unacceptable levels of jank.

This is now fixed for the next release.

This is now fixed for the next release.

in 2.0.69 where the bug is reportedly fixed, however, only in situations where a super forced build is required to rotate an entity.

In this example, I rotate a recycler by copying, rotating, and then pasting the rotated recycler onto it. (regular paste) Which causes the entity to rotate in game, but no on_player_rotated_entity event occurs.

The same occurs if I hold ctrl+shift for super force build. no event is generated.

In my case, this is problematic because I need to know when an entity is rotated so I can correctly rotate my compound entities.

I can, however, confirm, for entities which have to be super force built over to be rotated, Like inserters or heat exchangers, the fix does work. except for loaders.

edit:
I did some further testing to see where the issue persists.

Generates Event(requires super force build to rotate): Inserters, boilers+heat exchangers, Fusion generators, Fusion reactors, Splitters, Underground belt pairs, Belts and artillery turrets

Doesn't generate Event(Doesn't require super force build to rotate): All assembling machines (when rotatable), Pumps, Fluid tanks and Asteroid collectors.

Doesn't generate Event(despite super force build being required to rotate the entity): Loaders, Valves, Lane splitters and burner generators.
