How to change force for entity in editor or script?

I tried to make a scenario. I messed up the force. Now I need to find all the worm turrets and set then to enemy. Any idea?
I searched in the docs but found nothing. Entity doesn't contain a field to set force, neither force is without any function to receive entity.
Editor doesn't do this neither.

Code: Select all

/c for _,turret in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{type="turret"}) do if turret.name:find("worm") then turret.force = "enemy" end end

Should search the current surface for all turrets, then narrow the search to turrets with "worm" in their name and set them to the "enemy" force.

In vanilla the extra filtering should be unnecessary - the only 'turret' prototypes in the game are the four worms. Player turrets have their own types - ammo-turret, fluid-turret, and electric-turret.

Entity doesn't contain a field to set force, neither force is without any function to receive entity.

LuaEntity inherits from LuaControl, which has a Force parameter that can be set like in the code posted above - https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... trol.force
