LuaEntity API error

[Turtle]

Hi all,

I've been using the Russian Logistics mod and it's been fine until recently. I'm randomly getting this error:

Code: Select all

Error while running the event handler:
__RussianLogistics__/control.lua:105: LuaEntity API call when LuaEntity was invalid.

Line: 105

Code: Select all

game.createentity{name = "item-on-ground", position = possiblePos, stack = {name = item.stack.name, count = item.stack.count}}

I removed a lot of the stuff because I only use two belts so I thought it was something I did. I put back the unchanged version and I'm still getting this error. Let me know if you need to see the whole function. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Links don't work.

- possiblePos is invalid.
- item.stack doesn't exists

Thanks for the reply. PossiblePos is valid:

Code: Select all

local possiblePos = game.findnoncollidingposition("item-on-ground", newPos, 0.01, 0.01)

I'll just post the whole function. The original code was game.tick, but it was taking up way too many resources so I delayed it a bit:

function

Code: Select all

function OnTick(_Event)

	if game.tick%30 == 0 then

		local toRemove = {}
		ToRemove = {}

		for i, iLR_Entity in pairs(glob.LRT) do
			if not iLR_Entity.valid then
				table.insert(ToRemove, i)
			end
		end

		for _, e in pairs(ToRemove) do
			table.remove(glob.LRT, e)
		end

		for _, iLR_Entity in pairs(glob.LRT) do

			local entityDirection = iLR_Entity.direction
			local entitySettings = __EntitySettings[iLR_Entity.name][entityDirection]
			local scanExpand = 0

			scanArea = GetScanArea(entityDirection, iLR_Entity.position, 0, scanExpand)
			local scan = 
			{
				left  = {result = game.findentitiesfiltered{name = "item-on-ground", area = scanArea.left}},
				right = {result = game.findentitiesfiltered{name = "item-on-ground", area = scanArea.right}}
			}

			for sideName, side in pairs(scan) do
				for _, item in pairs(side.result) do

					local newDistance = 0
					local direction = entityDirection

					if entitySettings.spec == nil then
						operSideName = entitySettings.operSide

					elseif entitySettings.spec == "splitt" then
						local randomPozitionID = math.random(0,1)
						if randomPozitionID == 0 then
							operSideName = "right"
						else
							operSideName = "left"
						end
					end

					local newPosT = GetNewPosition(direction, iLR_Entity.position, newDistance)
					local newPos  = {x = newPosT[operSideName].x, y = newPosT[operSideName].y}

					local possiblePos = game.findnoncollidingposition("item-on-ground", newPos, 0.01, 0.01)

					if possiblePos then
						game.createentity{name = "item-on-ground", position = possiblePos, stack = {name = item.stack.name, count = item.stack.count}}
						item.destroy()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end
