dynamite does not set off nearby dynamite

I can not seem to figure this problem out lol Anyone care to take a look and see what's going on?
I currently have
Code: Select all
for k,nearbyentity in pairs(game.findentities{{event.entity.position.x-5, event.entity.position.y-5}, {event.entity.position.x+5, event.entity.position.y+5}}) do
if nearbyentity.name == "dynamite" then for k,v in pairs(glob.dynamite) do if nearbyentity.equals(v.entity) then glob.dynamite[k].tick=glob.dynamite[k].tick-100 end end
elseif nearbyentity.health then nearbyentity.damage(20, game.player.force)
end
end
I would simply let the damage 'kill' the nearby dynamite expect that I get an error (and if I try to use die() instead of reducing the tick it just turns into an infinite error two message).
Also I noticed that the explosion is not what I expected....
edit: fixed, silly errors lol. had table.remove in two places (moved to only being in onentitydied), the explosions issue (which came from using a landmine type for the dynamite initially) was due to the createentity not being inside of the if name==dynamite block.

I played around a little bit with the mod and changed the code your provided to work in the following way:
Code: Select all
for k,nearbyentity in pairs(game.findentities{{event.entity.position.x-5, event.entity.position.y-5}, {event.entity.position.x+5, event.entity.position.y+5}}) do
if nearbyentity.isvalid() then
if nearbyentity.name == "dynamite" then for k,v in pairs(glob.dynamite) do if nearbyentity.equals(v.entity) then v.entity.die() break end end
elseif nearbyentity.health then nearbyentity.damage(20, game.player.force) end
end
end
Seems to work fine.
Also there was a small error in the data.lua when icon for dynamite item was taken from the clone mod.
Apart from that really nice mod:) I suppose dynamites would be super useful in the beginning of the game when you can use them to get plenty of resources without mining.
