add on_event which is called when a player opens a gui

[mophydeen]

Code: Select all

opened :: LuaEntity or LuaItemStack or LuaEquipment or defines.gui_type [Read-Write]
The GUI target the player currently has open; nil if none.

Note: Write supports any of the types. Read will return the entity, equipment or nil.

edit: also on_event_gui_closed would be handy.

Call on_event_gui_opened when a window is opened, call on_event_gui_closed when a window is closed.

if this existed, I'd use it in my inserters mod instead of having to open my own GUI on alternate keypress.

This would be very useful and remove the need for constant player.opened checking in on_tick which might get very expensive in large multiplayer games.

Also I would say one event is enough: Similar to the "on_selected_entity_changed" an "on_opened_entity_changed" event.
