Code: Select all

-- till parameter is to make sure there is no infinite loop. eg When the player has no other place to reach.
function slapTill(player, till)
	if player and player.valid and player.connected then
		local randomXdirection = randomPosOrNeg()
		local randomX =  randomXdirection * math.random(10)
		local randomYdirection = randomPosOrNeg()
		local randomY = randomYdirection * math.random(10)

		local newPosition = {x = player.position.x + randomX, y = player.position.y + randomY}
		-- if a wall can be placed at the position, a player won't be stack there. Unless it's an island :)
		if player.surface.can_place_entity({name="stone-wall", position=newPosition, direction=nil, force=player.force}) then
			local success = player.teleport(newPosition)
			if success then 
				slapReceived(player)
				return true
			else
				return false
			end
		else
			if till > 1 then
				return slap(player, till-1)
			else
				return false
			end

		end
    end
    return false
end
