Adding Sprite to Entity?

[PrimeEagle]

How would I add the yellow input/output arrows from Decider Combinators to my own entity and icon? I looked at the vanilla Decider Combinator definitons and didn't see anything in there.

It is defined as data.raw["utility-sprites"]["default"].indication_arrow.filename = "__core__/graphics/arrows/indication-arrow.png"

If you want to use it in 4 rotations, you will have to copy and rotate the file in an image editor.

I found the definition, but I'm not sure how to use it. Is there an example that shows how to layer it on top of the entity icon and position it?

What is the Prototype type of your entity? They all have different graphics requirements.

It's a variation of constant-combinator.

constant-combinator has 4 directions that you need to define. Here is an example for north.

Code: Select all

data.raw["constant-combinator"]["constant-combinator"].sprites.north = {
  layers = {
    {
      filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/combinator/constant-combinator.png",
      frame_count = 1,
      height = 52,
      hr_version = {
        filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/combinator/hr-constant-combinator.png",
        frame_count = 1,
        height = 102,
        priority = "high",
        scale = 0.5,
        shift = {0, 0.15625},
        width = 114,
        x = 0,
        y = 0
      },
      priority = "high",
      scale = 1,
      shift = {0, 0.15625},
      width = 58,
      x = 0,
      y = 0
    },
    {
      filename = "__core__/graphics/arrows/indication-arrow.png",
      priority = "high",
      width = 64,
      height = 64,
      scale = 0.5,
      x = 0,
      y = 0,
      shift = {0, -0.5},
    },
    {
      draw_as_shadow = true,
      filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/combinator/constant-combinator-shadow.png",
      frame_count = 1,
      height = 34,
      hr_version = {
        draw_as_shadow = true,
        filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/combinator/hr-constant-combinator-shadow.png",
        frame_count = 1,
        height = 66,
        priority = "high",
        scale = 0.5,
        shift = {0.265625, 0.171875},
        width = 98,
        x = 0,
        y = 0
      },
      priority = "high",
      scale = 1,
      shift = {0.265625, 0.171875},
      width = 50,
      x = 0,
      y = 0
    }
  }
}
