Hi masterminds!
In api for mute_alert written:

mute_alert(alert_type) → boolean
Mutes alerts for the given alert category.

Parameters
alert_type :: defines.alert_type
Return value
If the alert type was muted (false if it was already muted).

I use that:

Code: Select all

player.mute_alert(defines.alert_type.custom);

But nothing changes, custom alerts in still in place.

What I doing wrong?

Muting the alert disables its sound. You are probably looking for LuaPlayer.disable_alert.

Even simplified

Code: Select all

function OnTick(e)
	if e.tick % 60 == 0 then
		for _, player in pairs(game.connected_players) do
			player.disable_alert(defines.alert_type.custom);
		end
	end
end

script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, OnTick);

Gives me same behavior
