Error in description of set_driver(driver)?

Post by Pi-C »

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I find this description of set_driver() confusing:

Code: Select all

set_driver(driver)

Sets the driver of this vehicle.

Parameters
driver :: LuaEntity or LuaPlayer: The new passenger or nil to eject the current driver if any.
Note: This differs over LuaEntity::set_passenger in that the passenger can't drive the vehicle.
[i]Can only be used if this is Vehicle[/i]
Shouldn't it read "The new driver or nil to eject the current driver if any."?
A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!

Thank you!

Another thing: What is the upper limit for passengers? If there's really only one passenger per vehicle allowed, it would be nice if you could clearly state that under get_passenger() and set_passenger(). (Then again, could it be useful if more passengers were allowed? I'd post it under Ideas/suggestions in this case.)

Upper limit is one, that's why it says "the passenger".

Yes, I should have figured that one out myself. Guess I've been confused by my own expectations (thinking of a cab, where one driver can haul around as many passengers as fit into the vehicle).
