Namen von Konstruktionen

Did you ever get an answer to this? The short answer to your question is yes, it can be done. Not from within the construction file, but rather with a game script.

Sorry for responding in English to a question you asked a month ago in German. I just saw the post now.

Google Translate:

Haben Sie darauf jemals eine Antwort bekommen? Die kurze Antwort auf Ihre Frage lautet: Ja, es ist machbar. Nicht aus der Konstruktionsdatei, sondern mit einem Spielskript.

Entschuldigung, dass Sie auf eine Frage auf Englisch geantwortet haben, die Sie vor einem Monat auf Deutsch gestellt haben. Ich habe den Beitrag erst jetzt gesehen.

When you build a construction, the GUI thread receives a notification - the name of the event is "builder.apply" The name of the construction file will be located in param.proposal.toAdd[1].filename

Here is my test code:

function data()
     return {
    update = function ()
    end,
    guiUpdate = function ()
    end,
    handleEvent = function (src, id, name, param) 
    end,
        guiHandleEvent = function (id, name, param) 
        if (name == "builder.apply") then 
            if param.proposal and param.proposal.toAdd ~= nil then 
                debugPrint({id, name, param.proposal.toAdd}) -- param.proposal.toAdd[1].filename contains the name of the construction file
            end
        end
    end,
    }
end

On receiving the notification and comparing the filename to that of your construction, you could pass the notification over to the Engine thread using SendScriptEvent.

A bit clunky, to be sure, but it should let you get prompt notification so that you can apply the name you want, without having to consistently poll all the construction entities.

A word of warning if you want to do further testing yourself - with a modular construction, the param table is quite large...

No need for scriptEvent.

The setName Function is in the (new) api and should be available in Gui Thread.
