item-with-entity-data should preserve unit_number

Post by Adil »

It occurred to me that since these items represent unique entities, the unique identifier of such entity should not change in between its appearances in the world.
I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.

Well, the item simply holds the entity equipment grid right now. The logic of preserving the unit number would be a little more complex to implement. Maybe in 0.15 but I'm not promising anything :)
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
