Hi! I am making some larger mining drills and the texture i am using (the texture of the electric mining drill) and it's texture has the same size as the normal electric mining drill, as shown in this screenshot:

How do i enlarge the texture with code so that it fits the collision box (4 by 4)

Take a look at MiningDrillPrototype.animations. This is an array of 4 animations (one for each direction), and you can set the scale factor for each one of those. So something like this should work:

Code: Select all

local large_drill = data.raw["mining-drill"]["bmd:large-mining-drill"]
for d, direction in pairs({"north", "east", "south", "west"}) do
	if large_drill.animations and large_drill.animations[direction] then
		large_drill.animations[direction].scale = 2
	end
end

That still doesn't seem to work. I managed to fix the collision_box and vector_to_place_result offsets. (and add locals)

Take a look at MiningDrillPrototype.animations. This is an array of 4 animations (one for each direction), and you can set the scale factor for each one of those. So something like this should work:
Code: Select all
local large_drill = data.raw["mining-drill"]["bmd:large-mining-drill"]
for d, direction in pairs({"north", "east", "south", "west"}) do
	if large_drill.animations and large_drill.animations[direction] then
		large_drill.animations[direction].scale = 2
	end
end
That still doesn't seem to work.

I think I know what's wrong: MiningDrillPrototype.animations is only used if MiningDrillPrototype.graphics_set is not defined, but it is set in your template (the vanilla electric-miner you've copied). So, check the description of graphics_set, look for everything that is an animation, and add/change the scale factor. (By the way, 2 is likely not the correct scale, you've got to find that yourself.)

And this should work

Code: Select all

for i, Member in pairs(MiningDrillEntity.graphics_set) do
	if type(Member) == 'table'
		if Member['north'] and Member['east'] and Member['south'] and Member['west'] then
			for d, direction in pairs({'north', 'east', 'south', 'west'}) do
				if Member[direction] then
					Member[direction].scale = info[4]
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

What it does is it loops through all the contents of MiningDrillEntity.graphics_set and if it is of type Animation4Way, it changes each Animation's Scale to info[4], which if you looked at my previous code, is the radius of the mining drill.

Or maybe it won't work:

You did, but I think the error message is from an edited version. As the code snippet ("And this should work") has more lines than the code it replaced, and may or may not have been inserted with additional empty lines, it would be useful to see the data.lua in its latest state, so that the line number from the error message really points to the line that throws the error.

I've put the code from your data.lua into a testing mod to reproduce the crash, but that failed somewhere else, on trying to get the values of your settings which I don't have access to. If you care for that, you could send me your mod in its current state per PM, that should make debugging it easier.
