Add radius_visualisation_specification to scripting api

[micromario]

Currently we have this value for entity prototypes:

Code: Select all

radius_visualisation_specification = {
    sprite = {
      filename = '__base__/graphics/entity/electric-mining-drill/electric-mining-drill-radius-visualization.png',
      width = 10,
      height = 10
    },
    distance = 12.5,
    offset = {0, -16}
  }

However, it cannot be read during runtime.
Could it be added to LuaEntityPrototype?

I have a scripted mining drill that uses this property, and would rather not hardcode the range in two places.

A file can be required in two different stages, though of course it will not be the same as if the file required twice in the same stage. I use a 'constants' kind of file for that. It won't match if another mod changes that value of yours (in data), but that'd be something to resolve with them (dependency, data-final-fixes check, asking them not to, etc).

Ok, I've added this for the next 1.1. release. The value you're looking for is actually already exposed specifically for the mining drill as: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/cla ... ill_radius but generic access still allows reading those values for things that don't have purpose-built uses for the radius.
