Block vending machine rotation?

would be happy to know if theres a method / hook for that .
i tried

void OnStructureRotate(BaseCombatEntity entity, BasePlayer player)
{

doesnt work..

 

No, there's not a hook for it. The only way to prevent rotation is to put items in it or building block it.

I found a way, but its hacky.

1. Create a Dictionary to save a VendingMachine + the placement rotation

Code:

Dictionary<VendingMachine, Quaternion> vendings = new Dictionary<VendingMachine, Quaternion>();

2. If a VendingMachine gets placed, save it and its rotation into a dictionary

Code:

void OnEntityBuilt(Planner plan, GameObject gameObject)
        {
            VendingMachine vending = gameObject.GetComponent<VendingMachine>();
            if(vending != null)
            {
                vendings.Add(vending, vending.transform.rotation);
            }
       }

3. Check if the rotation has been changed on tick

Code:

void OnTick()
        {
            foreach(var vending in vendings)
            {
                if(vending.Key.transform.rotation != vending.Value)
                {
                    vending.Key.transform.rotation = vending.Value;
                    vending.Key.SendNetworkUpdate(BasePlayer.NetworkQueue.Update);
                }
            }
        }

IMPORTANT!
This is not the best way to do it. It's just a quick example how to achieve the "rotation block".

Improvements would be to check only one vendingMachine per tick (to keep the "check" impact low), delete the VendingMachine from the dictionary if it doesn't exist anymore, save and load vendingmachines on server start/stop, etc.
