### POST_GRID_ENTITY_INIT

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/isaacscript-common/other/enums/ModCallbackCustom

Fires when a new grid entity is initialized, either upon room entry or when an entity appears mid-room. For custom grid entities, POST_GRID_ENTITY_CUSTOM_INIT should be used. Callbacks can be filtered by GridEntityType and variant.

```APIDOC
## POST_GRID_ENTITY_INIT

This callback is invoked whenever a new grid entity is initialized. This occurs either when a room is entered (in the `POST_NEW_ROOM_REORDERED` callback) or when an entity appears dynamically within a room (e.g., in the `POST_UPDATE` callback). For custom grid entities, the `POST_GRID_ENTITY_CUSTOM_INIT` callback is recommended. Filtering by `GridEntityType` and variant is supported.

### Method
POST

### Endpoint
`/callback/grid_entity/init`

### Parameters
#### Path Parameters
None

#### Query Parameters
None

#### Request Body
- **gridEntity** (GridEntity) - Required - The grid entity being initialized.

### Request Example

function postGameStarted(isContinued: boolean) {  
  if (isContinued) {  
    return;  
  }  
  
  mod.spawnCustomTrapdoor(  
    TOP_LEFT_CORNER_GRID_INDEX,  
    "Foo",  
    LevelStage.BASEMENT_1,  
  );  
}  

```

--------------------------------

### Get colliding entities with grid entity

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/isaacscript-common/functions/gridEntities

```typescript
const collidingEntities = getCollidingEntitiesWithGridEntity(gridEntity);
```

--------------------------------

### POST_GAME_STARTED_REORDERED

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/isaacscript-common/other/enums/ModCallbackCustom

Fires in the correct order with respect to POST_NEW_LEVEL and POST_NEW_ROOM callbacks. It requires a third argument to specify whether the callback should fire for continued runs, new runs, or both.

```APIDOC
## POST_GAME_STARTED_REORDERED

### Description
Similar to the vanilla callback of the same name, but fires in the correct order with respect to the `POST_NEW_LEVEL` and the `POST_NEW_ROOM` callbacks. The order is: `POST_GAME_STARTED_REORDERED` --> `POST_NEW_LEVEL_REORDERED` --> `POST_NEW_ROOM_REORDERED`.

### Method
POST

### Endpoint
`/POST_GAME_STARTED_REORDERED`

### Parameters
#### Query Parameters
- **isContinued** (boolean) - Required - Pass `true` if you want the callback to only fire if the run is continued. Pass `false` if you want the callback to only fire when the run is not continued. Pass `undefined` if you want the callback to fire in both situations.

### Request Example
```json
{
  "isContinued": true
}
```

### Response
#### Success Response (200)
- **void** - This callback does not return any value.

#### Response Example
```json
{
  "message": "Callback executed successfully"
}
```
```

### POST_PICKUP_INIT_FILTER

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/isaacscript-common/other/enums/ModCallbackCustom

The POST_PICKUP_INIT_FILTER callback is identical to the vanilla POST_PICKUP_INIT, but it allows for additional filtration arguments. You can specify an optional third argument for PickupVariant and an optional fourth argument for sub-type to control when the callback fires.

```APIDOC
## POST_PICKUP_INIT_FILTER

### Description
Allows specifying extra arguments for additional filtration on the POST_PICKUP_INIT callback. The callback fires only if it matches the provided PickupVariant and/or sub-type.

### Method
`ModUpgraded.AddCallbackCustom`

### Parameters
- **callbackId** (int) - Required - `POST_PICKUP_INIT_FILTER`
- **callback** (function) - Required - The function to be called.
- **pickupVariant** (PickupVariant) - Optional - Filters the callback to only fire for the specified pickup variant.
- **subType** (int) - Optional - Filters the callback to only fire for the specified sub-type.

### Callback Signature
```typescript
function postPickupInitFilter(pickup: EntityPickup): void
```
```

--------------------------------

### Get Newest Player

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/isaacscript-common/functions/players

```

--------------------------------

### POST_PICKUP_INIT_FIRST

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/isaacscript-common/other/enums/ModCallbackCustom

The POST_PICKUP_INIT_FIRST callback triggers the first time a player encounters a specific pickup during a run. This is useful because pickups can despawn and respawn when rooms are re-entered. Similar to POST_PICKUP_INIT_FILTER, it supports optional arguments for PickupVariant and sub-type filtration.

```APIDOC
## POST_PICKUP_INIT_FIRST

### Description
Fires from the POST_PICKUP_INIT callback on the first time that a player has seen the respective pickup on the run. Supports optional arguments for PickupVariant and sub-type filtration.

### Method
`ModUpgraded.AddCallbackCustom`

### Parameters
- **callbackId** (int) - Required - `POST_PICKUP_INIT_FIRST`
- **callback** (function) - Required - The function to be called.
- **pickupVariant** (PickupVariant) - Optional - Filters the callback to only fire for the specified pickup variant.
- **subType** (int) - Optional - Filters the callback to only fire for the specified sub-type.

### Callback Signature
```typescript
function postPickupInitFirst(pickup: EntityPickup): void
```
```

--------------------------------

### doesCharacterStartWithActiveItem

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/isaacscript-common/functions/characters

Helper function to determine if the specified character starts with an active item. For the purposes of this function, the save file is considered to be fully unlocked (e.g. Isaac is considered to starts with the D6, but this is not the case on a brand new save file).

```APIDOC
## doesCharacterStartWithActiveItem

### Description
Helper function to determine if the specified character starts with an active item, assuming a fully unlocked save file.

### Parameters
#### Path Parameters
* **character** (PlayerType) - Required - The character to check.

getPlayerIndex(player: EntityPlayer, differentiateForgottenAndSoul?: boolean): PlayerIndex
```

--------------------------------

### Registering a Mod and Upgrading for Features

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/main/mod-feature

This snippet shows the standard practice for initializing a mod and upgrading it to use features with the standard library. It imports necessary functions and defines the features required for the mod.

```typescript
// mod.ts  
  
import { ISCFeature, upgradeMod } from "isaacscript-common";  
  
const ISC_FEATURES_FOR_THIS_MOD = [ISCFeature.SAVE_DATA_MANAGER] as const;  
  
const modVanilla = RegisterMod("Green Candle", 1);  
export const mod = upgradeMod(modVanilla, ISC_FEATURES_FOR_THIS_MOD);  


```

### Example of a nested mod directory structure

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/main/what-is-isaacscript-doing

Demonstrates how isaacscript handles copying files within nested directories from your project's mod folder to the game's mods directory. This is useful for organizing assets like graphics.

```plaintext
C:\Repositories\revelations\mod\resources\gfx\items\collectibles\
```

--------------------------------

### Example of a print statement in TypeScript

Source: https://isaacscript.github.io/main/what-is-isaacscript-doing

Add this to your main.ts file to test if isaacscript recompiles and refreshes your mod correctly. This will print 'hello world' to the in-game console.

```typescript
print("hello world");
```
