I'm opening a custom gui for a constant-combinator type entity in on_gui_opened. But when the player walks out of reach the gui stays open.

How can I automatically close the gui when the player moves out of reach?

AFAIK It cannot be done automatically with the current features

You would need to check the distance yourself and determine if it is out of range

There's

Code: Select all

and

Code: Select all

.

The refresh rate at which the first is called is not very high, but it should do the trick.

The "refresh rate" of on_changed_position are the tile boundaries. If that's "not very high"...why are you moving inside a single tile so much ;).

Well of course, that makes sense.
