Request for scripting, how to turn off indestructible
Is it possible to put a script into control.lau to change map items from indestructible to normal destructible?
thanks

P.S. opening editor for each and on turning it off is a drag

Depending what you're doing, maybe. From https://lua-api.factorio.comlatest/LuaEntity.html:

Code: Select all

destructible :: boolean [Read-Write]

When the entity is not destructible it can't be damaged.

Note: An indestructible entity can still be mined.
Note: Entities that are indestructible naturally (they have no health, like smoke, resource etc) can't be set to be destructible.

Code: Select all

/c for _,entity in pairs(game.surfaces.nauvis.find_entities()) do entity.destructible = true end

Will be really slow on large maps. Might also break some mods if they rely on hidden entities. If you know *what* kind of entity you want to change you can use find_entities_filtered(). Depending on what you're dealing with you might also want to set minable = true.
