If I remember right it did error on that one. Dot-boxes of {{0,0},{0,0}} seem to work fine.

Maybe they fixed it at some point, or something caused from me taking a deep copy then setting selection box to nil

Something happening on line 12 of control.lua. I had a similar error with surfaces.find_entities_filtered

I forget the exact process, but my powered entities mod (see signature) has invisible power poles. And, IIRC I didn't need an item or recipe for them, I think that relies on the mined property. EDIT: After a quick check, I left the minable of normal power poles, since they can't be mined it doesn't ...

I like the mod portal for downloads, but it sucks for reports or discussion of the mods. These forums are much better for that. New update should fix that issue. If you're curious, it was actually an issue that was probably around for quite some time, just was never noticed/report. I was checking t...

The game re-centers them next time it loads. The core game only ever has 1 GUI window open at a time. If mods could add as many as they want then you'd end up with all of them on top of each other (which is fine) but it's not ideal. Maybe when the game is reloaded with multiple windows open it stag...

I'm not really sure what you mean, unless you're talking about the game over (with kill stats) screen? If you want something like that you could just use a GUI frame with a button to close it.

On .13.11, using mod portal to download, using Powered_Entities_0.3.6.zip. I figure it has something to do with the change made for LuaSurface::find_entities/filtered. Ah yes, they finally added whole surface searching, I'll fix it as soon as I get home from work. Thanks for the report (and putting...

I would have never thought about custom table and such.

I know, I dropped that here for the people wondering why ipairs doesn't work

Like box with the arrow pointer to the player? I believe it uses this.

I could never get automatic centering to work myself. I normally just add padding/margins to make it look nice

So, the first idea is to have a base mod that handles the table storage with remote calls that your others ones access to add/remove/etc? You could handle partial mod removal by having that base mod check active_mods when on_configuration_changed is fired, to remove anything relevant (one of the ele...

Hm, I didn't even know that existed. When I made my first mod using tables I looked at rail tanker fir an example, and in that elements are removed from the table by creating a new table without the one to be removed and overwrites it. Not sure which way is better, that just ended up being the thing...

Also, this isn't the subforum for textures.

Rseding gave an example on IRC at one point, I thought he was gonna write something up for the wiki, but I guess he got busy.

Here's his pastebin example.

You can't capture the player holding down a button, but you can make it a toggle.

As for moving it, you could just spawn a new one at the correct location and destroy the wrong one.

I'm not sure how on_built_entity caused an infinite loop tbh, because it shouldn't trigger on itself, AFAIK

So simple! So I destroy the entity and then on the next check I don't gave an entity, thus the error. So how would I handle multiple entity destroy cases? (my case only has 1, so putting it last will work) Just use elseif? Any better way? You elseif, or you could have a return statement at the end ...

(Reading on my phone, so I may have missed something) I think you destroy the entity when it's the control station? If so, any code after that is looking for it will see an invalid entity. If your function should just end after it does everthing to the control station then add a return at the end of...
