LuaEntity: alt_info_shift property

[raiguard]

Hello. I would like to request an addition to the LuaEntity prototype that allows one to offset the alt info display from the center of the entity. The reason is because I am making a complex multi-part entity, which needs an alt-info display, but the only entity that can display it properly is very off-center from what the player sees:

I would love to be able to move the alt info display back to the center of the visible entity to make it look right.

Thanks!

Which entity type do you need it for? Crafting machines (assembling-machine, furnace, rocket-silo) and Lab have entity_info_icon_shift

In this case, it's an infinity container.

Edit: I don't see entity_info_icon_shift anywhere in the prototype definition docs...

Don't mind me, just being blind...

Hey, so it turns out I won't need this after all... I figured out that I can actually just place the chest right in the middle without any issues. It would probably be nice for this to be implemented for all entities, but I personally don't need it anymore (for now). Thanks!
