Does this function return anything? In my case I generate a manually crafted object and I want to make sure I do not get a perfectly generic item (and do stuff if I actually get it). How can I look what my container actually got after running this function?
Tried the same trick as here: http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/problem-with-world-containertakeat-in-gui.129863/ And got the same problem. While the docs state containerPutItemsAt returns an ItemDescriptor my test var holds nil. Is that really the case?
It returns an itemDescriptor if it fails to place the item. I don't believe you'd get anything upon success. There is also the possibility that it is sending more than one return, one of them being nil. You could assign multiple variables to catch them, or better yet just do this. Code: local temp = { world.containerItemAt(entity.id(), 0) } local itemDes = temp[1] That would pack all the returns in a table. But it should throw away nil returns. itemDes may still be nil after doing this, but that means nothing is in slot 0.
