Lamps that don't need power ? :3...

[PanTobi]

Hey, another Question ^_^

Ty darkfrei for help in last:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=85163


Now when everything is dark, i want to add some laps to game,
But...

is that possible to make Lamp light without power connection?
and is that possible to manipulate color and POWER or light without any combinators?...


Player live in Underground labolatory, he have 2 ways to get power
1 - Steam Engines, but for that You need water and Fuel
2 - Generators, ( they are ofc. limited in power ^_^ )

But ofc. if he want more resources like for example water, he need to open Gates
all resources rooms are connected to Splitter / Biter Spawners that player can't destroy ^_^

Price for more resources :3...

But i want to add some Light editing and i dont want to waste Power for Player :/...
and i dont want to add Extra Poles...

Code: Select all

/c
local entity = game.player.selected
rendering.draw_light {sprite = "utility/light_small", surface = entity.surface, target = entity}

Also

Code: Select all

/c
local entity = game.player.selected
rendering.draw_light {sprite = "utility/light_medium", surface = entity.surface, target = entity}

in case sm1 look for similar stuff,
Here is Function i use after some testing:

Code: Select all

/c
local entity = game.player.selected
	rendering.draw_light 
		{
			sprite = "utility/light_medium", 
			scale = 0.4,
			color = {255,255,255},
			surface = entity.surface, 
			target = entity
		}
	// Info about draw_light function:
	// https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaRendering.html#LuaRendering.draw_light
	
	// Sprites for use:
	// https://wiki.factorio.com/Prototype/UtilitySprites
	
	// in scale float value
	// in color RGB value

i tested it with other sprites than light, you can use for example hint arrows or those icons for stuff
but some sprites dont work xD try urself !

[darkfrei]

ohh and it works with colors <3

You are welcome!
It works also with orientation, scale and target_offset, see code this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/TorchLight

[PanTobi]

You can also create a lamp clone and set the energy source to void. That gives you a lamp that players can interact with like any normal lamp but one that doesn't draw electrical energy.

Might be hard to shoot out the light if it's just a rendered light. Or circuit control it.
