Items in hand

[hreintke]

Hi,

I'd like to check the number of items of the player.

There is the call "get_inventory(defines.inventory.player_main)" that gives access and number of items.
But when the player selects items from that, taking it in hand that amount is removed from the inventory.

Is there a way to get the items "in hand" ?

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_cursor_stack_changed, function(event)
  if(player.cursor_stack.valid_for_read and player.cursor_stack.name == 'iron-ore') then
    local player = game.players[event.player_index]
    global.player_cursor_stack[event.player_index] = {name = player.cursor_stack.name, type - player.cursor_stack.type, count = player.cursor_stack.count, health = player.cursor_stack.health}
  end
end)

Thanks,

Works great. I missed the "cursor" teminology
