[2.1.9] on_gui_closed event not fired when blueprint is closed

[Gergely]

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a new freeplay.
2. Place the furnace from the inventory.
3. Enter the command, given at the end of this post.
4. Enter the same command again because the game STILL does not execute it the first time. (Annoying.)
5. Pick a blueprint tool and select the furnace.
6. Exit the blueprint configuration by pressing "Esc".

Expected

"gui closed" is printed to the chat.

Actual

Nothing is printed.

Why is this unexpected

Closing the blueprint gui with confirm (E) will fire the event as expected. Other instances where the gui can be closed (such as the furnace's gui) will fire the event for both "Esc" and "E".

Code: Select all

/c script.on_event(defines.events.on_gui_closed,function() game.print("gui closed") end)

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.

on_gui_opened and on_gui_closed are also not called when going into and out of remote view

Please make a new thread. This one is closed and will be ignored.

Remote view is not a GUI though.

Is there any way for a script to fire an event when the player opens/closes remote view, similar to opening any other GUI? If not, perhaps there should be?

Remote view is a separate controller. Changing controllers has it's own event: on_player_controller_changed. This event is fired when a player enters/exits remote view.
