Search tile around player position

[vtx]

From the lua api

game.player.print(tostring(game.player.surface.get_tile(1, 1).collides_with("player-layer")))

To make it work I remove game :

player.print(tostring(player.surface.get_tile(1, 1).collides_with("player-layer")))

When I use something like 2,2 and higher it didn't work. What I do wrong ? To be more accurate it only work once I can't use it more than one time.

If you call the function with numbers, it uses map position.

To check next to the player, call it with the player position and an offset.

Code: Select all

/c game.player.print(tostring(game.player.surface.get_tile(game.player.position.x+1, game.player.position.y).collides_with("player-layer")))

Thanks for the offset hint.

Sorry I forget to mention I did that in a mod environement.

More specific inside scenario file in on_player_created event.

Still on testing how lua work before dive in code itself.

Code: Select all

  player.print("1,1")
  player.print(tostring(player.surface.get_tile(player.position.x+1,player.position.y+1 ).collides_with("player-layer")))
  player.print("2,2")
  player.print(tostring(player.surface.get_tile(player.position.x+2,player.position.y+2 ).collides_with("player-layer")))
  player.print("3,3")
  player.print(tostring(player.surface.get_tile(player.position.x+3,player.position.y+3 ).collides_with("player-layer")))
  player.print("4,4")
  player.print(tostring(player.surface.get_tile(player.position.x+4,player.position.y+4 ).collides_with("player-layer")))
  player.print("5,5")
  player.print(tostring(player.surface.get_tile(player.position.x+5,player.position.y+5 ).collides_with("player-layer")))
  player.print("6,6")
  player.print(tostring(player.surface.get_tile(player.position.x+6,player.position.y+6 ).collides_with("player-layer")))

Will display

Code: Select all

1,1 
false
2,2
3,3
4,4
5,5
6,6

You are coming up against spam protection
Since "false" would be printed x number of times in a period it only shows once. However the code does run correctly.

Oh my god!!! Thanks !

I didn't know there spam protection for print. I'll dive directly into code then.

Is there some tool to help debug code or is just code and hope for the best ?

I know the F4-F7 but not that it'll bring me the information I want or I oversee something.

You can use the log() function to print directly to the factorio-current log file
or
game.write_file() to output to a file in script-output directory
Both of those options are not affected by any spam protection

Thanks a lot for the help!
