Code: Select all

local g = game.recipe_prototypes[item_name]
	for _,e in pairs(game.entity_prototypes) do
		for _,c in pairs(e.crafting_categories) do
			if c == g.category then
			。。。。。。。。
			end
		end
	end

I want to find out all the production machines of this formula, but it always reports errors. Where is the error? Thank you

So changing the inner loop like this should work:

Code: Select all

-- for _,c in pairs(e.crafting_categories) do
for c, _ in pairs(e.crafting_categories) do

First of all, thank you very much for your help. I will change the content to:

for c,_ in pairs(e.crafting_categories) do

It still reports an error with the content "bad argument \1 of 2 to'pairs'(table expected, got Nil)"

if e.crafting_categories then
  for c,_ in pairs(e.crafting_categories) do
    ..

Then you have to check that e.crafting_categories is not nil

Code: Select all

if e.crafting_categories then
  for c,_ in pairs(e.crafting_categories) do
    ..
  end
end

Even simpler:

  for c,_ in pairs(e.crafting_categories or {}) do
    ..
  end
