Point attack artillery

[sore68]

Hi everyone~

I making mod Additional-turret and It was recently added to the 2 type artillery.
viewtopic.php?f=93&t=30865

I make near spawner scan code and I think I'll use it when appropriate.

Code: Select all

/c local p = game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered({area = {{x = game.player.position.x - 100, y = game.player.position.y - 100}, {x = game.player.position.x + 100, y = game.player.position.y + 100}}, type = "unit-spawner"}) game.player.print(p.position.x.." "..p.position.y)

but I don't know how the turret attack that position.

Can you help me?? or tell me a website that can help me??


and have a question

Using find_entities_filtered() is quite slow if it's done over large area and regularly, which I think will happen in your mod.

It might be better to use events instead, have a look at the Fire Extinguisher mod to see how that works - I think you'll be able to adapt that code to what you want: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/devilwar ... tinguisher

You can't make turret just attack. You either make it ridiculously long-range, then it will aggro biters by shooting at them, or you use scripts to create projectiles and\or simulate the impact, then biters will just ignore the fact of being shot.

Have a some different question

I finally did it. make projectiles with surface.create_entity!
But This code is not support "type = stream" projectiles (it is used fluid-turret ammo entity and I using this entity in artillery shell)
And If I use stream projectile, It is recognized in "type = beam"..

What other way do not use surface.create_entity??

I've not tested, but maybe a stream will work similar to a beam? viewtopic.php?p=205338#p205338
