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_delivery in ...

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 smoke-with-trigger that has ...

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_covers = data.raw ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
