[2.1.14] LUA-API: LuaForce:get_space_platforms() and LuaPlanet:get_space_platforms(LuaForce) both failing

[worph]

What did you do?

I'm trying to write a mod that get's the space platforms over a planet.
I've tried using both:

• a) LuaPlanet:get_space_platforms(LuaForce)
• b) LuaForce:get_space_platforms()

I did my best to verify that both my LuaPlanet and LuaForce are actually the correct type of item and they very much seem to be.
For (a) I also tried all three parameter types (LuaForce, index, string).

What happened?

• a) Error: "Invalid ForceID: expected LuaForce, force index or string." (no matter the input)
• b) Error: "Given object (LuaForce) is not a LuaSpaceLocationPrototype."

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

That it would accept the inputs / process the function correctly.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

Every time.

Sorry for breaking rule1

edit: Added a micro mod.

Since you did not provide any examples of code failing and attached mod is a zip with empty directories, throwing this to Pending.

It sounds like you’ve mixed them up and are calling the A version on the B object and the B version on the A object.

Im so sorry. Here is my test version, I packed the wrong folder.


Edit:
Looking more into it, I must have been super confused apparently.

In the 2.1.13 patch notes it says it introduced:

Code: Select all

LuaForce::get_space_platforms()

I must not have checked the documentation for this, as in the api docs it clearly states that it wants surface as a param (in contrast to the patchnnotes). I took the patchnotes as gospel, which one clearly should not do.
I will report back once I tested LuaForce::get_space_platforms() with the correct params.

However, the other method still never worked for me.

[Rseding91]

I see. You're calling the methods wrong.

Code: Select all

entity.surface.planet:get_space_platforms(entity.force)

Should be

Code: Select all

entity.surface.planet.get_space_platforms(entity.force)

And

Code: Select all

entity.force:get_space_platforms()

Should be

Code: Select all

entity.force.get_space_platforms()

Calling "planet:get_space_patforms(entity.force)" is syntax sugar for: "planet.get_space_platforms(planet, entity.force)" which explains why it's complaining the first argument you've passed is a planet and not a force.

Both work now. sorry.
