Failed to create entity 'speech-bubble'

[ABacker]

I use the following codes to create the 'speech-bubble' entity, and game crashed saying unknown entity name 'speech-bubble'.
It would not crash if I replace 'speech-bubble' with 'flying-text'.

Code: Select all

                
                entity.surface.create_entity {
                    name = 'speech-bubble',
                    position = {x = entity.position.x, y = entity.position.y + 1},
                    text = entity.energy .. 'J',
                    lifetime = 10
                }

This isn't a bug, there is no entity called 'speech-bubble', try 'compi-speech-bubble'

"speech-bubble" isn't the name of a prototyped entity, it is the entity type. create_entity expects a named prototype that was set up in the data stage.

My bad, got it, thanks.
