Localised names

[oLaudix]

Is there a way to get localised name of ie. recipe in control.lua?

game.player.print method converts the lua name to localised. It is even capable of concatenating those.
They're probably inaccessible other way.

This sux :/ Its not even helpful for print since i would need it to be dynamic not static :/

i would need it to be dynamic not static :/

You didn't actually look at the wiki page, did you?
Or is my definition of dynamic different from your?

Its impossible to do:

Code: Select all

for i,ingredient in pairs(recipe.ingredients) do
local a = ingredient.name
game.player.print({"entity-name.a"})
end

or any other combination of ingredient.name variable. I looked at wiki page and its whooping 5 lines of code, so loose some attitude pal. If you see something other person doesnt then explain instead being a prick.

Well, among those file lines of code are three, which are a part of working mod:

Code: Select all

a='entity-name.gun-turret'
game.player.print({a})
game.player.print({"",{a}," is destroyed"})

(Even more, in real mod it's concatenation of two localized strings.)

Your code should be like this to work:

Code: Select all

for i,ingredient in pairs(recipe.ingredients) do
local a = "item-name."..ingredient.name
game.player.print({a})
end

See? You clearly saw something I didn't. I wont apologise for not knowing everything. I will thank you for the code thought, it works exacly as i need.

I found that

Code: Select all

game.item_prototypes[ingredient.name].localised_name

also works.
