[Rseding] [0.17.69] Enemy combat bots gui show damage based on player force modifiers.

[TheKid0z]

Steps

1. Set enemy and player damage modifiers

Code: Select all

/c game.print(game.forces.enemy.set_ammo_damage_modifier('combat-robot-laser',0))

Code: Select all

/c game.print(game.forces.player.set_ammo_damage_modifier('combat-robot-laser',-.2))

2. Spawn a Combat bot - In this case, il be using a distractor.

Code: Select all

/c local ent = game.surfaces[1].create_entity{name = "assembling-machine-1", position = {15, 3}, force = game.forces.enemy, recipe = "iron-stick"}; game.print(ent.surface.create_entity{name = "distractor", position = {15,3}, target = ent, force  = ent.force,speed=1}.force.get_ammo_damage_modifier('combat-robot-laser'));

3. The above command prints the enemy damage modifier which is 0 but the GUI shows player values. The actual damage they do is according to their own force value, its just visual.

4. This is similar for All 3 combat robots - defender, distractor, destroyer. It doesn't matter how the bots were created ie. - using a capsule / directly.

5. Affected modifiers - bullet, combat-robot-laser, combat-robot-beam

Thanks for the report. I don't have a solution to this at the moment.

The entire description system (tooltip system) was not built with showing not-your-forces stuff in mind. The tooltip you're seeing is a hybrid of live information from the entity itself - which isn't on your force - and from the description system using your force. The description system has no concept of "this is actually a description of an an entity that's not owned by me, that might be friendly, enemy, neutral, or other) and so this is where the issue comes from.

I don't consider it worth the time and code bloat it would take to go and re-work the entire description system to account for this when PvP Factorio is an after-thought. I'll mention this to the guy working on re-doing the styles for tooltips to see if he wants to try to account for this but I doubt he will want to.
