need a simple button on the top left corner/edge

[unfunf22]

I just need a button in the upper left corner and when I click on it execute commands.
I don't need a picture in the button, it's enough if a name is there and the command is executed.
unfortunately, this command doesn't work in the "data.lua"

every time I start the game I get an error message with "attempt to index global' game' (a nil value)

Code: Select all

game.players[1].gui.top.add{type = "button", caption = "My First Button", name = "ups-up-lite"}

Code: Select all

script.on_event(defines.events.on_player_created, function(event)
  game.players[event.player_index].gui.top.add{type = "button", caption = "My First Button", name = "ups-up-lite"}
end)

so now im not complete ready but i have a small problem, i need a code for enemy destroy but the code kills all what i see but not what im not see.
like get chunk for chunk.x * 32, chunk.y * 32 find entity enemy do destroy()

LuaForce.kill_all_units
LuaSurface.find_entities_filtered

[unfunf22]

could this code work?

Code: Select all

for key, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do
			game.surfaces[1].find_entities_filtered{force= "enemy"} do
				game.forces["enemy"].kill_all_units()
			end
		end

No, but this:

Code: Select all

for i, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do
  local enemies_list = surface.find_entities_filtered{force= "enemy"}
  for j, enemy in pairs (enemies_list) do
    enemy.destroy()
  end
end

Or for units only

Code: Select all

local enemy_force = game.forces["enemy"]
enemy_force.kill_all_units()

Code: Select all

for i, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do
  local enemies_list = surface.find_entities_filtered{force= "enemy"}
  for j, enemy in pairs (enemies_list) do
    enemy.destroy()
  end
end

Or for units only

Code: Select all

local enemy_force = game.forces["enemy"]
enemy_force.kill_all_units()

No, but this:

for i, surface in pairs(game.surfaces) do
  local enemies_list = surface.find_entities_filtered{force= "enemy"}
  for j, enemy in pairs (enemies_list) do
    enemy.destroy()
  end
end

Remember that scanning one (or several) complete surfaces like that will be extremely slow and visually "freeze" the game until its finished.

when i disable the entitys through your mod, can i use the roboport and/or is it completly gone?

Click - all disabled, click again - enabled. Robots too.

Test it again in a megafactory with 10k+ bots, at least 100MB map size, running on an Intel Atom. We'll see if it's "fast" then (hint: it's not, because find_entities(_filters) is a slow operation).

Has something changed that I can't use it like this anymore?

Code: Select all

data.raw["gui-style"].default["test-button"]
