pipe connections

[evandro_6565]

can someone help me with this code

Code: Select all

fluid_box =
  {
    base_area = 150,
    pipe_covers = pipecoverspictures(),
    filter = "water",
    pipe_connections = 
    {
      { position = {0.64, -0.12} },
    },
    hide_connection_info = true,
  },

The pipe connection offset is the X and Y distance from the *center of the entity* to the center of *the tile where a pipe can be placed to connect to it*. So if you have a 2x2 entity, a valid connection offset would be {1.5, 0.5}, placing the pipe on one half of the right side.

when you say entity center, would be in collision box the entity center or the sprite width x height

I set a high value to test and this message continues

Can you post the rest of the prototype? What is your entity bounding box? Do your offsets land at exactly coordinates ending in 0.5?

the problem was collision_box, selection_box
and pipe_connections = {{ type = "input", position = {1, 0} }}

I changed the entity to assembler and observed the values ​​in the selection_box in relation to the tiles
