find_entities_circuit_connected

Post by sparr »

I'd like a way to find just entities with circuit connections, without having to construct wrappers and iterate over every entity. This is another alternative idea for solving my problem from viewtopic.php?f=28&t=47972 and viewtopic.php?f=28&t=47979

That would be almost the same speed as doing it through Lua since all the same slow parts would still have to be done on the C++ side.

OK. I'll hold out hope for 47979 then.

Is it still the case that the engine doesn't have a list of circuit-connected entities that could be referenced for this, without iterating all entities in lua?
