Re: Get prototype name from LuaEntity

Is https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/classes/LuaEntity.html#prototype what you're looking for? I though so at first, but it doesn't give me what I want. Example output, coming from the last_entity field of the event on_selected_entity_changed : entity.prototype.name: spidertron entity.prototype.o...

I'm trying to somehow access all the information about this entity, which can be found in the the runtime-api.json file in the docs. I've written a small script to ext...

on_alert and on_custom_alert events

Would it be possible to have events raised when new alerts are triggered?

Events for alerts?

Hi, I'm developing a add-on that's mostly based up reacting to when new alerts are triggered. These could be when a entity is damaged or when a custom alert from a programmable speaker triggers and alert. I've poured over the documentation but can't seem to find any events for these things. Am I mis...
