Hi,

I created an entities derivated from the assembly-machine-2, with a fixed recipe and I would like to detect when this machine creates an object.

How would you do this ? I did not find any event triggered in this case (creation event seems to be triggered only when the player creates something manually)...

There's no such thing.
You'll need to occasionally check entity.crafting_progress intermittently to detect the item completion.

Thanks for the idea, I didn't notice this interesting variable.
Finally, I check the content of the output inventory, it is also a good clue.

it's a shame, I could have used such an event as well.

Is there a way to call a script from the "stuff" defined in entity.lua, item.lua, and such files ?
