[15.10] on_robot_mined_entity event doesn't always trigger

Hello,
I wrote a mod that uses the on_robot_mined_entity event and noticed that this event doesn't trigger when deconstructing entities that are close to the player.
When I deconstruct entities that are close to the player the construction robots don't really fly to the entity but instead just pop up above the player and vanish shortly after.
I wrote a simply mod that outputs test to the console when the event is triggered:
Code: Select all
script.on_event(defines.events.on_robot_mined_entity, function(event)
game.print("test")
end)
Cheers,
Ahsous

Yes it does. You're printing the same message over and over which hits the spam prevention and doesn't show the extra messages since they're all identical.

Quick side question, I've searched through the forums (on "spam prevention") and looked through the settings ingame but is there a way to turn spam prevention off?

Just print something that always changes, such as game.tick.

I don't think this has something to do with spam protection (since it's that way on the first message too and I don't send that many messages anyway)
I uploaded a video showcasing it (with printing game.tick instead of "test"):

As you can see I don't get a message on entities that are right next to the player.

Use game.write_file, which doesn't prevent a spam of messages, to make sure it truly isn't triggering

or as an alternative you can use this
Code: Select all
local debug_idx = 0
script.on_event(defines.events.on_robot_mined_entity, function(event)
game.print("test (" .. debug_idx .. ")")
print("test (" .. debug_idx .. ")") -- this prints to the console/stdout, at least under linux
debug_idx = debug_idx + 1
end)

Using:
Code: Select all
script.on_event(defines.events.on_robot_mined_entity, function(event)
game.write_file("bugTest.txt", tostring(game.tick) .. "\n", true)
game.print(game.tick)
end)
Results in the following bugTest.txt:
14569890
14570062
14570774
Same numbers as the ingame output even if I cut more than 3 trees (in 3 different steps).

I tested by deconstructing 10 trees near me, and the log output shows 10 trees were deconstructed

The videos you've uploaded are private so I can't see them.
When I test it myself it produces exactly as it should:

Code: Select all
script.on_event(defines.events.on_robot_mined_entity, function(event)
log(event.tick)
end)

Oh god, I should've tested it without any mods active.
I had the mod Bluebuild installed (and forgot about it after getting bots). That mod deconstructs stuff without bots (and instantly removes entities around the player). That's why it looked like the bot came out of the player and instantly returned (I made the videos public now btw).
The event works like intended, sorry that I wasted your time
