[Resolved] radius visualisation

[TheSAguy]

Hi,

How do I adjust the radius_visualisation_picture on my custom substation?
I tried adding a shift, to radius_visualisation_picture, but that did not work.

Substation

Code: Select all

---- Large Substation
	  {
		type = "electric-pole",
		name = "bi-large-substation",
		icon = "__Bio_Industries__/graphics/icons/bi_LargeSubstation_icon.png",
		icon_size = 32,
		flags = {"placeable-neutral", "player-creation"},
		minable = {hardness = 0.2, mining_time = 0.5, result = "bi-large-substation"},
		max_health = 600,
		corpse = "big-remnants",
		dying_explosion = "big-explosion",
		track_coverage_during_build_by_moving = true,
		resistances =
		{
		  {
			type = "fire",
			percent = 90
		  }
		},
		collision_box = {{-4.2, -4.7}, {4.2, 4.7}},
		selection_box = {{-4.5, -5}, {4.5, 5}},
		drawing_box = {{-4.5, -10}, {4.5, 5}},
		maximum_wire_distance = 18,
		supply_area_distance = 24,
		pictures =
		{
		  filename = "__Bio_Industries__/graphics/entities/bio_solar_farm/bi_LargeSubstation.png",
		  priority = "high",
		  width = 352,
		  height = 384,
		  shift = {0.6, -0.6},
		  direction_count = 1,
		  --scale = 0.5,

		},
		vehicle_impact_sound =  { filename = "__base__/sound/car-metal-impact.ogg", volume = 0.65 },

		},
	  },

I'm pretty sure it's caused by specifying a width/height that is double what the image actually is, see vanilla definition:

Code: Select all

      radius_visualisation_picture = {
        filename = "__base__/graphics/entity/small-electric-pole/electric-pole-radius-visualization.png",
        height = 12,
        priority = "extra-high-no-scale",
        width = 12
      }

PS: your [/spoiler] tag is misplaced in your post, it should be after [/code], not before.

It seems that game doesn't auto-scale the picture. You might need to add scale there if it's accepted and/or create bigger picture for radius visualisation.

[eradicator]

Unless you want to change the looks of the visualization you should just use the default one used by the base game. It scales automatically if you change supply_area_distance.

Code: Select all

local my_substation = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw['electrical-pole'].substation)
my_substation.supply_area_distance = 20
my_substation.pictures = {<your_picture_specification>}
data:extend(my_substation)
--not tested, might contain typos

Looking at your code...you changed the width/height of the radius picture to match your supply_area_distance....?! Those are pixel values and should not be changed unless you use a different picture.

Thanks, I think I have it figured out.
