Bug summary : on_gui_switch_state_changed will not fires after loading game when clicking the switch that has left visible when saved before. I made an scenario to help you reproduce bug. Extract contents in scenario folder and try to play it. Reproducing procedure with custom scenario : 1. Open swi...

I'm trying to make custom artillery vehicle. My objective : - Make vehicle not to react to global artillery-targeting-remote. - No automatic fire. - Only react to custom remote used inside of vehicle. Remote cannot invoke other same types of vehicle. - Can fire directly with fire button, like normal...

Yep. I also don't know why... I guess it is not prepared "yet". But you may can "teleport" that via - Check existing spider-vehicle s with LuaSurface::find_entities_filtered at around of destination position in destination surface. - Do LuaSurface::clone_entities for teleporting ...

They were introduced somewhere around 0.15.24 when exporting PowerSwitch wires for blueprint string was added.

Aha, I got it. Thank you for letting me know that.

I thought it is a bug because there is definition about relationship of power-switch to copper-wire in API, https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/defines.html#defines.wire_connection_id but a staff said it is not a bug. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=508991#p508991 I recognize the omissio...

Unfortunately what you are trying to do is outside of the current specification for the connect_neighbour so its Not a bug. For connecting copper wires right now it can only handle connecting 2 electric poles. https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/defines.html#defines.wire_connection_id If they are n...

I found a way. When using arty remote, remove original flare, and make a flare again at skyhigh(height=2147483648) to make it never get in player's screen. (And even moving up high, vertical_speed=2147483648) To show target to specific players, place a entity which can have "render_player_index...

Exclusive "tag" for entity is attachable from Map Editor(/editor). And accessible via game.get_entity_by_tag(tag) https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGameScript.html#LuaGameScript.get_entity_by_tag But I can't find any way to "write tag" via script. If it's not exist, add it p...

I found some people uploaded vanilla scenarios on Mod Portal such as https://mods.factorio.com/mod/JNF https://mods.factorio.com/mod/oarc-mod They are mimicked as mod and published, but do not modify any mechanisms or prototypes in game. And also, even thought they are not modify anything, forces cl...

Both of which (in vanilla) are PvP specific damage types. Oh, yes it is. Then I think spidertron pvp balance is incomplete and buggy. Because arties still try to aim and attack spidertron automatically but cannot damage it. It's silly. Opponent arties are just wasting shells to nothing. Arty-spider...

I found a way to force artillery to attack any given position via scripting way. <SOME_LuaSurface>.create_entity{ position = <TARGET_POSITION>, force = <ENEMY_FORCE>, name = 'artillery-flare', frame_speed=0, vertical_speed=0, height=0, movement={0,0}} It's creating entity with these parameters. But ...

github : https://github.com/x2605/factorio-tank-pvp/releases I made a scenario (non-modded) which encourages to drive vehicles and hunt eachother. Map description : - You will get a tank once you join the map, eject character from vehicles not possible. - If vehicle get killed, you will die. - In Fr...

Currently due to spidertron's torso have no collision mask, spider is completely immune to almost every explosive attacks, such as grenades, tank-cannons, railgun, landmine, shotguns, tank-flamethrower, artillery fire, explosive-rocket(only splash part ignored), and flamethrowers(only flame on groun...

I think connecting power-switch with electric-pole with copper-wire via scripting is not possible. Here is some snippet for quick chat command (use it when player is on empty ground with some space) /silent-command local p = game.player local pos = p.surface.find_non_colliding_position( 'rocket-silo...

When i'm unsure what events are firing i just have them printed to console: /c local rev = function(a,b) for k,v in pairs(a) do b[v]=k end return b end local del = function(a,b) for _,k in pairs(a) do b[k]=nil end return b end local nam = rev(del({'on_tick','on_chunk_generated'},defines.events),{})...

I'm making vanilla multiplay scenario. (really don't want people(including me) to restart entire factorio when switching between servers or their own saved games, so i'm making it in vanilla) Due to api doesn't support modifying resistance or max_health parameters(locked in prototypes), I'm relying ...

becoming spectator using player.character.destroy() -- or player.set_controller{type = defines.controllers.spectator} --or other ghost modes... player.character.die() -- or just killed by something and lose body closes built-in guis and makes "player.opened = nil" but not fires event "...

I don't know what's wrong with both windows cmd and powershell 5.1 input. Factorio.exe running in headless mode looks like doesn't accept unicode(?) stdin from direct typing through cmd or powershell console. Here are some output.

I can't find it from API site.
I can't find it anyone asking about that on this forum.

Why not just set them to "all" in the prototype?

because i think to make it possible to switch it on/off per entity during game is better.
