change turret range

[kongobusinessman]

Hello, is there a way for a casual like me to change the max turret range?
I played around a bit with modifying files of an existing mod and looked some things up but since i dont plan to get into serious modding myself it would be cool if someone could help me here

This is in the mods folder \modname\data-updates.lua

Code: Select all

--weight anx max power adjusted so that additional cargo wagons and fluid wagons will have almost zero impact to acceleration
--adding more forward facing locomotives will not help with acceleration
data.raw["locomotive"]["locomotive"].weight = 5000 
data.raw["locomotive"]["locomotive"].max_speed = 1.5 --646.5km/h
data.raw["locomotive"]["locomotive"].max_power = "1800kW"
data.raw["locomotive"]["locomotive"].max_health = 3000

data.raw["wall"]["stone-wall"].max_health = 2000

data.raw["furnace"]["steel-furnace"].energy_source.emissions = 20

data.raw["turret"]["ammo-turret"].attack_parameters.range = 20

The problem is the last line wouldnt work, i tried all sorts of combinations within [""][""] but i just cant figure it out. somehow i found the value only in \prototype\entities\demo-turrets.lua

is it not possible to change that value like this? Also could someone give me a quick explanation on how you can reliable find the paths for such values because till now i was just kinda guessing for the walls and furnaces...
tysm whoever is willing to help this noob

You have the wrong type and name. Check the wiki info box for the correct names.

Code: Select all

data.raw["ammo-turret"]["gun-turret"].attack_parameters.range = 20

The wiki also has a link to the full data.raw table, which is useful for finding property names.
