For others having the same prob. google does its job
"no sound" site:https://https://forums.factorio.com/

Never tried that before, but using this search string (with just one "https://"!) with duckduckgo also works. No need to google everything.

Thanks for the info. But I must admit that understanding the chain of inheritances sometimes isn't easy …

With just the attached minimal mod, and a flamethrower + some ammo cheated in, Factorio will completely break down when the fire stream hits the ground or trees. I've also tried to use another entity (a combat-bot, just like my dummies), but that didn't change anything. OK, the crash is known and w...

Until then, you can use `target_effects` instead of `source_effects`, which does the same thing in the case of `created_effect`

Oh, great, that works! So, it looks like I can have self-registering fires in the next release. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the report. Looking into it: you need to move "source_effects" 1 level deeper. local fires = data.raw.fire for name, entity in pairs(fires) do entity.created_effect = { type = "direct", action_delivery = { type = "instant", source_effects = { type = "create-entity", entity_name = "small-...

source_effects directly in TriggerItem are used only by "line" trigger item type and I am not even sure what the point of having it is. You should go all the way and use action = { type = "instant", source_effects = ... } Thanks for the hint! I guess you meant action_delivery? Perhaps I'm using it ...

This code should work, according to Klonan . local fires = data.raw.fire for name, entity in pairs(fires) do entity.created_effect = { type = "direct", source_effects = { type = "create-entity", entity_name = acids[name] and WT.acid_dummy_name or WT.fire_dummy_name, trigger_created_entity = true } }...

Is there anything missing, or can this property really not be used with fires?

As far as I see, it should work, if its not please make a bug report

Will do, thanks!

I can’t answer your question but could you merge all the areas in range of all water turrets so you don’t have to check every tile multiple times if the areas overlap? And if you find anything of interest check which turrets are in range? There may be multiple separated areas with turrets, and ther...

If you're not averse to using mods, you should try out Multiple Unit Train Control.

My water turrets should also attack fires, so they need to find them. Fires don't have health, so I need to place a dummy that can be killed on top of fires. Currently, each turret will scan its area/radius for fires (surface.find_entities_filtered) every 600 ticks and create a dummy at the fire pos...

Thanks, fixed. Thank you. Something similar: The description of the fire prototype lists "created_effect" among the properties inherited from Prototype/Entity. But when I follow the trail via the link in the description to the Trigger page, I only find "Prototype/FireFlame : on_damage_tick_effect" ...

Just noticed that according to the Wiki, boiler.structure is a table of sprites while the game says it's a table of animations:

If Artillery auto-targets "military structures" and you don't want that, and turrents target "military targets" and you do want that... then it would seem to be an option to make the dummies be non-structure military targets. For which immovable combat bots do sound like a possible candidate. At le...

Thanks, that should help!

So any Update to this? Are you looking for this: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntityPrototype.html#LuaEntityPrototype.attack_result ? Edit: Looking at this I don't think that turrets have more information. I'm not sure how to get damage for laser turret in runtime from prorotype data. On ...

Thank you!

I've just had some serious trouble with the icon of a fluid I've defined. This is the important part of my definition: local extinguisherfluid = { type = "fluid", name = WT.fire_ex_fluid, icons = { { icon = MOD_PIX .. "fluid/fire-ex-fluid-icon-turret-bg.png", }, { icon = MOD_PIX .. "fluid/fire-ex-fl...

If it has 100% resistance then yes it does indeed trigger a "damaged" event with 0 damage and the original damage listed. That's what I did in Water Turret -- create new damage types and grant all entities that the turrets shouldn't damage 100% resistance against this damage type. Then in data-fina...

I don't think on_entity_damaged would work here since the car doesn't take damage It does take damage -- the damage is just zero! If you log event data you can see that on_entity_damaged will be triggered: script.on_event(defines.events.on_entity_damaged, function(event) log("Entity damaged: " .. s...
