Having some issues with my code assigning ID to an Item I've created. The names are the same (capitals sensitive) in my recipe item and entity files.
Here is the only info I found and it was capitalization error

Any ideas. The error occurs in the item.lua file under place_result = "item",

must be place_result = "entity", but if you have the same name this isn't the problem.
You load the entity in data.lua?
can show some code?

Sorry for the delay here is the mod so far.
Very basic just trying to get an item in game that I understand all the code for.

Did you run the mod in your game? I believe thats where I narrowed down the culprit to which naming was having issues. My fault for not fixing it back before submitting :/

__Trucking__/graphics don't exist.
entity.lua is
Code: Select all
data:extend(
{
{
type = "car",
name = "truck",
...
}
})
" { } " is missing.
Need changes in entity.lua, i think you use a old version, the new car has got more than 240 lines, your entity.lua has got 157 (with the change of above)

Yeah I tries to remove a lot of the layers so when I do get graphics I dont need 3 sets of drawings. Thanks for the help. And sorry forgot I didnt include the graphics. It was too big
Edit: Uploaded Mod to GitHub so I can easily share and work on it.

Ok New problem and I figured I'd just append it to this thread. I'm having a problem with the Direction_Count on my animation set. Says it can't find it. Any help would be appreciated

In case it's still needed:
In base car keyword "layers" is separated by two "{" from "direction_count" and in your code there seems to be only one.
Which means that instead of being inside a table inside a table labeled "layers", your "direction_count" is located right on the first level of inclusion, while the program needs to go deeper.

For steam it should be in %appdata%/Factorio (translates to "C:\Users\Choumiko\AppData\Roaming\Factorio for me. might be different for you). If you can't find it search for one of the mod names or for factorio-current.log on your PC, that should lead you to it.
