[Rseding91] can_place_entity{} bugs
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2016 6:05 pm
I hope modding/API bugs go here.
I've run into a weird problem trying to build a mod. Here's the code I'm using:
And here is what it looks like in execution:
The check is being made based on the 2x2 placement tool for concrete so the check is failing on every other xx/yy in my loop. Additionally, it's being returned as true on the water, which should not happen.
As a side note, I also discovered this test to be very CPU intensive as running it a few thousand times per second really slows down the game. Shouldn't be a big deal as it won't run nearly this often outside of my testing but just a random remark.
