Hey,

I ran a command to delete all enemies. however i made a typo. I typed enemies instead of enemy. Now literally everything is deleted. Shouldn't actually the command just not do anything since the force doesn't exist?

Code: Select all

/c local surface = game.player.surface  for c in surface.get_chunks() do  for key, entity in pairs(surface.find_entities_filtered({area={{c.x * 32, c.y * 32}, {c.x * 32 + 32, c.y * 32 + 32}}, force = "enemies"})) do  entity.destroy()  end  end

Kind regards,

Thanks for the report. I've fixed it for 0.15: It will now give an error when an invalid force name is provided.

from dev to dev: what was the cause? was the filter just ignored due to that error?

Yes, it iterated each force and if it didn't find one with the given name it just gave "no force" back which is the same as telling the search "don't check for a specific force".
