on_entity_damaged damage_type returns __self = 0

[BubstyBoy]

Whenever on_entity_damaged is called, if I try to get the damage type, it just returns this:

Code: Select all

  damage_type = {
    __self = 0
  },

does anyone know why it does this or how to get the damage type from it? Thanks!

Is that while printing it using serpent? Or logging it? Looks like a LuaObject, which can't be printed.

Of you show your code it would be easier to help.

It is being logged in factorio-current.log

damage_type is a custom Lua object. You'll need to assign it to a var and then pull the specific value from it you are interested in.
