Is there a method or something else I can do to change the force a entity belongs to?

Posted: **Sun Mar 17, 2013 2:27 pm**

No, the force is only readonly atm.

Thanks for the info.

Then see this as a suggestion for future updates

destroy and create it back

Exactly this is the problem.
It seems like that the entities which you spawn with create() belong to the neutral-force.

At first I thought that this is not a big problem, because you are able to interact with them.
But then I spawned a Lab next to some turrets that I built regularly. And the lab was destroyed instantly by the turrets.

You need to specify the field "force" in the table you used to create the entity

Not sure if I undestand..
Can you give me an example, please?

Code: Select all

game.createentity{name="electric-turret", position={x=0, y=0}, force="enemy"}

But im not sure so test it.

You can't specify the force at the moment either

It is in our issue list now.
