in the debugger where exactly the location of the launch file would be. in the mod folder.. :
That's visible in the link I showed you. It should be
Code: Select all
mods/
your_mod_1.0.0/
.vscode/
launch.json
settings.json
control.lua
data.lua
etc...
After that I usually just press F5 to start the debugger. Then it will ask you to where your factorio.exe is located. Just follow the prompts.

I have a question, do you know of a tool to visualize this code: shift = util.by_pixel(x, y) I have to keep opening and closing the game to test the positioning
I don't know of such a tool.

I wonder if you could abuse
LuaRendering for testing by plotting on the ground.

a table receiving another table directly only clones the values but does not create another separate table... for example, tab[1].op and op with value 2 when I copy the table to tab[2] the index "op" if it is changed together the value of tab[1] is changed together.
Code: Select all
global.recorder[ tag ] = new_entity
global.recorder[ 1 ] = new_entity
global.recorder[ 2 ] = global.recorder[ 1 ]
I used the code "table.insert" to insert "table.insert( global.recorder[ 1 ], global.recorder[ 2 ] )"
but returns an error
I copied this function to copy the table well it seems it worked but with time an error message appears but the game continues running and the message comes back again
Code: Select all
function table_copy(t)
local t2 = {};
for k,v in pairs(t) do
if type(v) == "table" then
t2[k] = table_copy(v);
else
t2[k] = v;
end
end
return t2;
end

Yeah, if you want a copy of a table then you need to do a deep copy. You're going the right way, but there's an easier way, by using a
built-in library
Code: Select all
local util = require("util")
local foo = { "this is a table" }
local foo_copy = util.deepcopy(foo)
As for that crash you get, I haven't seen that before. But it looks like you're trying to save a
function of a LuaObject in the table, instead of the LuaObject itself. Meaning something like
Code: Select all
function foo(event)
local entity = event.entity
global.bad = entity.launch_rocket -- This trying to save a function which we cannot do in global.
global.good = entity.launch_rocket() -- This is fine because we're executing the function
global.good = entity -- We can safely store LuaObjects in global too
end
However, this is pure speculation, because I don't really know.

about the
"for_n_of" loop i was using table.remove and i noticed that the loop is stopping
and i reread the flib article and i noticed this
do you know how to remove without stopping the loop
DO NOT delete entires from tbl from within callback, this will break the iteration. Use the deletion flag instead.

It explains it in the documentation. The function you give it should return if the current entry should be deleted. I guess it should be something like this:
Code: Select all
event.on_tick(function()
global.from_k = table.for_n_of(extremely_large_table, global.from_k, 10, function(value, key)
-- Do whatever
local should_delete_entry = should_delete(key) -- this is a bool
return nil, should_delete_entry
end)
end)

Pretty sure it's an entity, as seen here in the
prototype for an explosive rocket
Code: Select all
entity_name = "medium-scorchmark-tintable",
The file is here though, you can even make a sprite out of it:
Code: Select all
Factorio_1.1.69\data\base\graphics\entity\scorchmark\big-scorchmark-top.png

here is my repository, I couldn't do the division of the table tab.car, tab.entity but I removed those loops and only the one from the flib was left

I already sent a message today and I'll have to wait
"Due to the high volume of support calls, it may take up to seven business days for our support engineers to respond."
I already tried to delete the account to open another but the delete button is blocked

Maybe you can use this?
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... ty.minable
Or some players seem to listen for the mine event, and then clone the entity again before the player notices. Almost like this one:
