Was using a blueprint to put something down, got the following error when deleting an item before it was placed..

Error while running the event handler: __Powered_Entities__/scripts.lua:146: An area of zero size is not supported. Either don't define area to search the entire surface or use 'position'.

Just to verify, are you on 0.13 and using the mod portal? I haven't updated the thread in a while.

On .13.11, using mod portal to download, using Powered_Entities_0.3.6.zip. I figure it has something to do with the change made for LuaSurface::find_entities/filtered.

Ah yes, they finally added whole surface searching, I'll fix it as soon as I get home from work. Thanks for the report (and putting it here was a good call, because the mod portal doesn't alert me)

I like the mod portal for downloads, but it sucks for reports or discussion of the mods. These forums are much better for that.

New update should fix that issue.


If you're curious, it was actually an issue that was probably around for quite some time, just was never noticed/report. I was checking the ghost prototype instead of what the ghost was pretending to be.

Thank you so much!! Downloading now.

hmm, new version,

Error while running the on_configuration_changed: __Powered_Entities__/control.lua:44: attempt to index global 'force' (a nil value)

Thanks, no errors so far
