(Resolved) Selection tools and neutral entities

[0n0w1c]

Selection tool (Big Pink Eraser mod) with the the select defined as:

Code: Select all

        select = {
            border_color = constants.pink,
            cursor_box_type = "not-allowed",
            mode = { "deconstruct", "any-entity", "items" },
            entity_filter_mode = "blacklist",
            entity_type_filters = constants.excluded_types_list
        },
        alt_select = {
            border_color = constants.pink,
            cursor_box_type = "not-allowed",
            mode = { "deconstruct", "any-entity", "items" },
            entity_filter_mode = "blacklist",
            entity_type_filters = constants.excluded_types_list
        }

And the filter is:

Code: Select all

    constants.excluded_types_list = { "character", "cliff", "decorative", "fish", "resource", "simple-entity", "tile", "tree" }

This is how the find is defined:

Code: Select all

    local entities = surface.find_entities_filtered({
        area = event.area,
        force = constants.allowed_forces
    })

constants.allowed_forces = { "neutral", "player" }

When the selection tool is used, neutral entities (ex. crash site entities) are selected, however they do not appear as selected.
Bug or my ignorance?

Note to the moderator: I think this is more of a technical modding question than a game play question.

Resolved by modifying:

Code: Select all

mode = { "deconstruct", "any-entity", "items" },

To be:

Code: Select all

mode = { "any-entity", "items" },
