I'm creating a mod which adds special types of magazines to the game, on of which explodes in a small area upon impact. I want to make it explode when an entity is damaged using the "on_entity_damaged" event, but I can't figure out how to get the type of magazine that damaged the entity.

Oh ok.

There is a way to do that without commands. There are night vision goggles in factorio vanilla and if you download the afraid of the dark mod you will be able to craft perfect night glasses.

I'm going to leave this thread open because I have no idea how to close it so if anyone knows plz tell me.

It helped a lot.

Deepcopy data.raw.item.inserter and change its properties as needed.

Ok I'll try that.

And how do I add an item(I'm a beginner at modding)?
