I'm trying to have a stack of bullets spawn on the ground whenever the player kills an enemy unit.

Here's an example code:

Code: Select all

  game.surfaces['nauvis'].create_entity{name="item-on-ground",position={0,0},stack={name="basic-bullet-magazine", count=1}}

This doesn't work. Gives the error that the item stack doesn't have the name parameter. The strange this is that it works properly for "rocket" or "cannon-shell", just not "basic-bullet-magazine" or "piercing-bullet-magazine".

This works:

Code: Select all

  game.surfaces['nauvis'].create_entity{name="item-on-ground",position={0,0},stack={name="rocket", count=1}}

Running version 0.13.18

The names were changed to "firearm-magazine" and "piercing-rounds-magazine".
