It would be great, thanks!

Ye, idea was to make turret rank system. Is it possible, that developers will add method in API?

Can we get access to "damage-dealt" or "kills" turret properties? E.g. in control.lua i want to do some actions, when kills of certain turret reach certain value.

Hey all, in previous Factorio versions i have the following code, that worked correctly:
action =
{
{
type = "direct",
action_delivery =
{
{
type = "instant",
target_effects =
{
type = "nested-result",
action =
{
{
type = "line",
range = 35,
width = 2.0,
source_effects =
{
type ...

Nice, thank you!

In previous versions of Factorio we had lua.game methods "game.findentities" and "game.findentitiesfiltered". In current vers it doesnot work, and i didnt find this methods (or another methods, that can do the same) in Lua.Game docs. I used this e.g. this way:
game.on_event(defines.events.on_chunk ...

But in this case given ammo will make 0 damage to targets of all types of game forces, right?? If that, i think the only way is to create new ammo-category and set resistance to this new category to 100% in all player entities.

I think you can hack your way around this one :)

I haven't tested it, but the command "setammodamagemodifier" should be able to help you.
I take it you use a modified railgun, in which case the ammo category should be "railgun". If you use another one, then use that one instead.

Then you would ...

Hi, i m trying to create custom projectile and using the following code (that works great):
action =
{
{
type = "line",
range = 35,
width = 2.0,
force = "enemy",
...

But when i change the FORCE name from "enemy" to "neutral" or "player" - the game throws "unknown error" on starting. What ...

Hi all, does anyone know if there is a list of possible parameters and types of "action", "action_delivery", "target_effects", "target_type" (like "projectile" and "instant" types of "action_delivery"), using in projectiles/turrets descriptions? Or for example can we get a turret current target ...

In this mode artillery projectiles is still targeting, not "direction only". However it helps, thanks

Hi all, i tried to add artillery turret in game and have some problems. Need to say, that turret syntax was fully copied from ammo gun-turret, and projectile syntax was fully copied from explosive rocket (changed only number values, like damage, area effect, cooldown, rotation speed, health...). It ...

Hi all, i know we can create "explosion" entity, but where can i find its properties like damage, sound, animation, aoe...? And its syntax?

In 0.11 there's currently no way to tell if a machine is crafting or smelting something.

Thanks, i ll check

Hi all. i have some problem. I have any entity of "assembling-machine" type - chemical-plant e.g. I need to do some actions runtime (in control.lua), ONLY when my chemical plant is producing its recipe. I tried options entity.active (it shows "true" both when plant is working or staying idle)
and ...

Lol i feel so stupid, so simple and fast solution) Great thanks, a = 0 works as needed

I can find 2 possible methods.
1. We can create 10 almost identical entity of "iron-ore" with different map_color parameters, which are equals map_color parameters of surface tiles (grass, dirt, sand, etc.). So while map is generated, we start findentities of "iron-ore" entity in huge radius. After ...

Hi. Are there any way to make entity resources invisible on map/minimap? For example needed parameter for iron-ore is:
map_color = {r=0.337, g=0.419, b=0.427}
Map_color is required parameter and game dont allow to delete it from the code. Making the brackets empty ( map_color = {} ) equals RGB = 0 ...

Have a strange question, i begin to think, its impossible, SO how to change resource\entity parameters while catching certain event? Example i have zero selection boxes for coal at the game start. I need to change parameters of coal (type=resource) when event onbuiltentity (for example) is catched ...
