Seems like there are more nuances with `nested_result`. Sometimes it has an `action` and sometimes it's just an array of TriggerEffectItem.

Thank you. The issue seems to be that the "nested-result" TriggerEffectItem has a type of nil. This code logs the nil type: for _,prototype in pairs({game.entity_prototypes["land-mine"]}) do for a_index,trigger_item in pairs(prototype.attack_result or {}) do for d_index,trigger_d...

I was able to create a workaround where I create an `ammo-type` for the action.
However, this had a different problem where the "nested-result" effect had a type of "nil", and I couldn't retrieve the underlying action.

I'm trying to dynamically determine the "damage-type" of the cursor's item stack. For example, if holding a "poison-capsule", I want to find the damage-type "poison". However, for poison capsules, the damage isn't done by the thrown attack_parameters, but rather from a ...

I created a heat-powered radar: radar.energy_source = { type = "heat", max_temperature = 2000, default_temperature = 15, specific_heat = "100KJ", max_transfer = "1000YW", min_temperature_gradient = 1, min_working_temperature = 100, minimum_glow_temperature = 80, pipe_co...

I am making a mod that implements a burner-powered roboport. I do this by forcing buildings on the same location (a roboport, a power pole, and a burner-generator.) I want to allow the user to fast-transfer fuel into the generator. Currently, I have code that detects when the user attempts to fast-t...

I attempted to set the energy levels of certain entities from an on_tick() function. function setEnergy(entity) entity.energy = 999999999 end The following types of entities could not achieve full power, even when energy was set very high: lamp decider-combinator arithmetic-combinator programmable-s...

I created a mod that adds heat-powered buildings. When I attempted to set the energy level of one of these buildings, the power value was set to 0, and the temperature was reduced to the min_working_temperature. (Setting temperature worked fine.) Here's a minimalist example: -- data.lua local heat_m...

I'd like to recreate every entity with each energy source. Here are the ones I've had to hack: solar panels roboport beacon electric-turret My current hack is to create an invisible generator and electric-pole on the same spot, but certain behaviors still don't work correctly, like the UI or fast-tr...
