I did not see shooting_state before, thanks. Strange. I see it's in the bottom of a LuaEntity, and I searched for many different terms...

The vehicle having equipment grids with lasers would work for detecting nearby enemies... And ironically might make sense in context (equipping the vehicle with an auto-attack sensor). However many equipments it takes to attack only on min-range on some weapon, swapping out as needed.

*Can ...

For the "find within circular radius" part, find_entities_filtered can take only a radius and position, and the enemies of the force can be gotten by using force.is_enemy() against game.forces, and is_military_target ... and more logic for minimum, supposing

An alternative is a turret. They do all ...

Does render-in-native-resolution=false do anything? I was hoping to get to choose a rendering resolution but nope.

Adding: this doesn't happen in multiplayer if you're hosting the game, but does if you join a game.

LogisticParameters is missing the nil interpretations. min is 0 by default, and max is infinite

-> Thanks, added to the docs with 1.1.102.

set_request_slot is for requester chests, which can't auto-trash. It's more of a bug that the function works on non-requesters, though it's probably there for legacy reasons.

Having a resource without shift or anything results in graphically shifted autoplace entities

Example:


local stages = data.raw.resource["crude-oil"].stages
stages.sheet = {

height = 132,

LuaGameScript.get_entity_by_tag - what does it do?


That's for getting a tag set by clicking an entity and entering a tag while in `/editor` or Map Editor. Related, from Discord discussions:

find_tiles_filtered
A small request for clarification on "force". Tiles don't have forces, and a tile ghost is a LuaEntity (as well as a decon proxy). Is force used in the context of returning tile ghosts, tiles with deconstruction proxies?

-- edit (boskid):
Note: `force` parameter is only used ...

Clever use of already existing module information... Came to request an "allowed_on" type table/flags, but this is more consistent with how the API already works (module category already exists, and comparing crafting_categories, that is *categorical*, not a list of machines_that_can_craft in the ...

Hi,

I've stumbled over More Achievements which adds achievement graphics. Credit to Bilka for some of the art and keeping the mod up to date for 0.17. A folder called graphic bases exists in the source repository but maybe you should ask Bilka for permission if you want to use them?


They are ...

tile-ghost is missing from LuaSurface.create_entity [1.1.78]

What happened: Game crash upon inserting 'regular' item into Blueprint Book inventory

Reproduction:

/c
local player = game.player
local cursor = player.cursor_stack
cursor.set_stack("blueprint-book")
local inv = cursor.get_inventory(defines.inventory.item_main)

local inserted = inv.insert("iron ...

Subject says it all: using a force_index for surface.find_entities_filtered is an error: "bad argument #3 of 3 to 'find_entities_filtered' (string expected, got number)"

These do not work:
surface.find_entities_filtered{force = 3}
surface.find_entities_filtered{force = {player.force, 3}}

These ...

One way to prevent this is to check the player controller before making the GUI to open. Another option is to check if player.opened == the element which was just assigned. Theoretically, there is no "perfect" way to detect an element closes, or is even *destroyed*, considering any mod can interact ...

I'd like to request "official" versions of the gears used in achievements, for modders to use. They're baked into game graphics, so as far as it seems, the only way to "get them" would be to compose pieces from different achievements and hope.

If modders could just have some graphics, preferably ...

Expectation:
1) turn on GUI inspector, do anything that can be undone
2) Inspect the Undo button
3) shows button style

What happens:
3) shows Undo tooltip, without background frame

If all the undo's are undone, the inspector works

Expectation:
If I don't have enough of an intermediate craft, orange is shown (unsatisfied but craftable)

What happens:
If the *excess* of an intermediate craft satisfies the requirement, it counts as crafted?
