Does anyone else knowing lua could look into this ?
Thanks!

I have been looking into this because I want to use this mod until .13
I did find a small workaround for sensors for now but every time I sit down to look at this I get called away.
The catch is that this will disable them being able to read electricity for now.
To apply go to sensor_0.4.9/control.lua
Go to line 439 at "elseif entity.energy ~= nil then"
Change it to "elseif false then"
This will allow sensors to detect trains/train cargo again, but will break reading from any electricity sources like accumulators/micro accumulators.
I'll have another crack at this tonight but I just found the bug and now I have to leave for work.
Apparently the problem stems from the sensor now detects the rail, because the rail apparently has an energy value of 0 instead of nil.
The only fix around this off the top of my head is a white or black list, but I will have a crack again later. Actuators may be suffering from a similar problem apparently.

Fixed for 12.22, broken actuators and sensors with trains. Feel free to let me know if anything else is broken until the mod author returns.

Cool, thanks!
Do you have this on github or something alike?
Edit: Did not work, though. The train is recognized when I first place the sensor, but not after the train arrives.
Do I need to reset something?

Did you download from my attachment or from the first page?

That's very curious, because that's what was happening before I fixed it (in the original mod). Did you delete the old mod folders and replace with mine?
You might have to send me your map because I don't think I can replicate.

We tried adding the mod to the public server we have and the actuators give an error in multiplayer.

Can you post the error? I'm using the mod fine on my multiplayer dedicated server

There is no error. it is just that the sensor does not detect the train's content once the train has departed and arrived again.

Fixed the problem by changing line 439 in the control.lua of the sensor to:
Code: Select all
elseif entity.energy ~= nil and entity.energy > 0 then
I guess it was mentioned somewhere here: Rails have a power value (== 0) now and are detected as viable target, so that a sensor does not re-connect to the cargo wagon. Checking for higher energy level makes the sensor re-scan.
Better solution might even be to check for railway pieces. I try this solution, if it does not work well, I'll change.
Update: A similar thing needs to be done for the actuator.
Works like a charm now.

Update: Almost works like a charm. Seems that there should be a blacklist for tracked items, one of the sensors recently caught (and deactivated) a logistic robot, meaning that neither the robot would work anymore, nor any trains were controlled.

So is this updated for .27?

I have a suggestion, can you add a Signal Delayer which waits a specified number of ticks?
This would be useful for making various timed events and would fix the tedious task of
spamming Decider Combinators counting only 1 tick each.

I was able to load a very old _01 save, in the current Steam versin (0.12.29 I think) and using the old 4.9 Smarter files, and, I got no error messages. I haven't progressed more than a tiny bit on that old map, so haven't been able to build any of the smarter circuitry yet, but as far as I know, the only real mod update hurdles were 12.11 and 12.20, and I'm fairly sure smarter Circuitry are past both of those.

A Signal Delayer might be super useful. Actually, I suggest 3. One that delays 5 ticks, one that delays 20 ticks and one that delays 120 ticks. Or a configurable one where you simply input the number of ticks of delay that you want.

you can add delay on power switch by doing that :
replace (on control.lua) :
Code: Select all
if isConditionFulfilled ~= switch.activated
with :
Code: Select all
if isConditionFulfilled ~= switch.activated and game.tick % 300 == 0 then
the power switch will switch only every 5s (300 = 5*60 ticks). 60 ticks = 1 s
You can define 60 instead of 300 if you want a check every 1s
But agree a Signal Delayer could be very nice !!

Suggestion for new use - Actuator on... something, maybe a Radar Dish?
Sends a configurable message to the player as a standard message whenever a specific signal pulses. Ideally, could include information from the signal (signal name and amount).
Rationale for radar dish: It updates the player's minimap, it's a big expensive power-drawing structure, and radar is basically an application of radio, and I can't think of any better choices in vanilla Factorio.
