[0.12.1] remove_item doesn't seem to work

[Klonan]

Ayo, im working on a mod to fuel burners from furnaces, and so the technique is, insert coal into the burner, remove a piece of coal from the furnace using script. However remove_item doesn't seem to take from any of the furnaces inventories. I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong, or it is a bug indeed...

Code: Select all

burner.insert({name = "coal", count = 1})				
leeched[1].remove_item({name = "coal", count = 1})

Did you try different inventory? There is get_inventory(x) and get_output_inventory(x).

I usually surround that with a pcall because I haven't been able to figure when it is appropriate to have x > 1.

Try:

Code: Select all

local item
item = {name = "coal", count = 1}
leeched[1].remove(item )

leeched[1].remove(item )

no dice :[

I'm not calling the inventory in the script since the method is called on the entity

Well, there isn't method remove_item as opposite to insert in entity.

I was also missing that actually, as calling it on individual inventories isn't as comfortable.

This is not technically a bug, so I'm moving it to mod interface request, but I'm letting rseding know, so he will probably do it

ahh okay, the WIki led me to believe that it worked like that.

Well, it will in 0.12.3
