Adding/Replacing The Win Condition Other Than Launching the first Rocket

[Suf]

Hi

Is there a way to add or replace the winning condition in Factorio other than just the vanilla's win condition?
and if so would the Prototype "rocket-silo" be the main target for the Lua codes or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

/c
game.set_game_state { 
  game_finished = true,
  player_won = true,
  can_continue = true,
  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
}

Code: Select all

/c
game.set_game_state { 
  game_finished = true,
  player_won = true,
  can_continue = true,
  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
}

So this code isn't bound to any prototype?good to know and thanks for the help

Code: Select all

/c
game.set_game_state { 
  game_finished = true,
  player_won = true,
  can_continue = true,
  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
}

Typing it as this results in error
bounding it to an entity seems to do that error, but what if i wanted the following to happen: if the player built a specific entity it will trigger an event which leads to that winning condition.
an example of how to do that would be nice,because i don't know how this coding process work

Additionally: can i control the entity count for victory condition ?can i add a timer for that event to happen, and finally can i add stages for that winning condition as checklist or something of that nature and when the player do all of them it will trigger the winning condition.

That didn't answer any of my questions let alone set an example, the pervious answer had the same coding too.
what i don't know is where to put these type of codes that begin /c?

and i quote"
set_game_state{game_finished=…, player_won=…, next_level=…, can_continue=…, victorious_force=…}
Set scenario state.

Parameters
Table with the following fields:
game_finished :: boolean
player_won :: boolean
next_level :: string
can_continue :: boolean
victorious_force :: ForceSpecification"
which will be

Code: Select all

/c
game.set_game_state { 
  game_finished = true,
  player_won = true,
  can_continue = true,
  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
}

and as i mentioned that resulted in error because i put it in the entity.lua file because i'm thinking that's how it works based on the example i mentioned in my replay above, if not then how exactly
an example or a mod if you will that used the same process of making what i'm after will be nice.

  player_won = true,
  can_continue = true,
  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
}

Typing it as this results in error

Typing this as it is doesn't result in an error for me -- but I didn't get the victory screen either. Could it be possible that this only works from a control script?

Use that in control.lua:

Code: Select all

script.on_event(id, defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
	local entity = event.created_entity
	if entity.name == "stone-furnace" then
			  game.set_game_state {
  			  game_finished = true,
			  player_won = true,
			  can_continue = true,
			  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
		  }
	end
end)

You can also use filters:

Code: Select all

script.on_event(id, defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
	  game.set_game_state {
		  game_finished = true,
		  player_won = true,
		  can_continue = true,
		  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
	  }
end, {
	{filter = "type", type = "furnace"},
	{filter = "name", name = "stone-furnace", mode = "and" }
})

Additionally: can i control the entity count for victory condition ?

Code: Select all

global = global or {}
global.entity_count = 0

script.on_event(id, defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
	global.entity_count = global.entity_count + 1
	if global.entity_count == 3 then
		  game.set_game_state {
			  game_finished = true,
			  player_won = true,
			  can_continue = true,
			  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
		  }
	end
end, {
	{filter = "type", type = "furnace"},
	{filter = "name", name = "stone-furnace", mode = "and" }
})

can i add a timer for that event to happen,

Check game.tick! 60 ticks are 1 second. Assume you want the player to lose if less than 3 stone furnaces have been built in the first 5 minutes, add the following:

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function(event)
	if event.tick > 5 * 60 * 60  and global.entity_count < 3 then
		game.set_game_state {
			  game_finished = true,
			  player_won = false,
			  can_continue = false,
			  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
		  }

	end
end)

and finally can i add stages for that winning condition as checklist or something of that nature and when the player do all of them it will trigger the winning condition.

Code: Select all

global = global or {}
global.furnaces = 0
global.belts = 0
global.tasks = 0

script.on_event(id, defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
	local entity = event.created_entity
	if entity.name == "stone-furnace" and global.furnaces < 3 then
		global.furnaces = global.furnaces + 1
		if global.furnaces == 3 then
			global.tasks = global.tasks + 1
		end
	elseif entity.name == "transport-belt" and global.belts < 5 then
		global.belts = global.belts + 1
		if global.belts == 5 then
			global.tasks = global.tasks + 1
		end
	end
end, {
	{filter = "type", type = "furnace"},
	{filter = "name", name = "stone-furnace", mode = "and" },
	{filter = "type", type = "transport-belt"},
	{filter = "name", name = "transport-belt", mode = "and" },
})

script.on_event(defines.events.on_tick, function(event)
	if event.tick > 5 * 60 * 60  and global.tasks < 2 then
		game.set_game_state {
			  game_finished = true,
			  player_won = false,
			  can_continue = false,
			  victorious_force = game.forces.player,
		  }

	end
end)

I really appreciate the detailed answer,now i know how to deal with these type of codes; thanks again

You're welcome! But I just noticed a copy/paste error:

Code: Select all

script.on_event(id, defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)

should be

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)

i tried the code in control.lua ;it worked and it showed the victory screen as well.

That works fine in console when I tried, but only once. Possibly the game won't show the victory screen if the map has already been won. Calling set_game_state with game_finished = false doesn't seem to reset it.

Turns out I made a stupid mistake. I was already wondering why I hadn't been asked to activate console commands by entering the command a second time. Well, "\c" is just a meaningless string, "/c" is the one I should have used!
