Parameters

Returns

function Chunk.get_data(surface: LuaSurface, chunk_pos: ChunkPosition, default_value: any) -> any

Gets the user data that is associated with a chunk. The user data is stored in the global object and it persists between loads.

Parameters

surfaceLuaSurface: the surface on which the user data is looked up
chunk_posChunkPosition: the chunk position on which the user data is looked up
default_valueany: the user data to set for the chunk and returned if the chunk had no user data

Returns

any: the user data OR nil if it does not exist for the chunk and if no default_value was set

function Chunk.get(surface: LuaSurface, chunk_pos: ChunkPosition, default_value: any) -> any

surfaceLuaSurface: the surface on which the user data is looked up
chunk_posChunkPosition: the chunk position on which the user data is looked up
default_valueany: the user data to set for the chunk and returned if the chunk had no user data

function Chunk.set_data(surface: LuaSurface, chunk_pos: ChunkPosition, value: any) -> any

Associates the user data to a chunk. The user data will be stored in the global object and it will persist between loads.

Parameters

surfaceLuaSurface: the surface on which the user data will reside
chunk_posChunkPosition: the chunk position to associate with the user data
valueany: the user data to set OR nil to erase the existing user data for the chunk

Returns

any: the previous user data associated with the chunk OR nil if the chunk had no previous user data
