I'm trying to update my mod to 2.0 and getting this error:

Error while running setup for entity prototype "lamp-flip-dot" (lamp): next_upgrade target (switch-flip-dot) must have the same collision mask.

I'm setting both of them identically:

Code: Select all

lamp_entity.collision_mask = data.raw["lamp"]["small-lamp"].collision_mask
switch_entity.collision_mask = data.raw["lamp"]["small-lamp"].collision_mask

Also, I added these lines to check:

Code: Select all

log(serpent.block(data.raw["lamp"]["small-lamp"].collision_mask))
log(serpent.block(data.raw["lamp"]["lamp-flip-dot"].collision_mask))
log(serpent.block(data.raw["power-switch"]["switch-flip-dot"].collision_mask))

It appears they are all the same, in that they're all nil.

Code: Select all

   2.080 Script @__flip-dots__/data.lua:9: nil
   2.080 Script @__flip-dots__/data.lua:10: nil
   2.080 Script @__flip-dots__/data.lua:11: nil
   2.352 Script @__flip-dots__/data-final-fixes.lua:29: nil
   2.352 Script @__flip-dots__/data-final-fixes.lua:30: nil
   2.352 Script @__flip-dots__/data-final-fixes.lua:31: nil

I tried setting the collision_mask of the small-lamp to the example on this page:

https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/typ ... ector.html

data.raw["lamp"]["small-lamp"].collision_mask = {layers = {item = true, meltable = true, object = true, player = true, water_tile = true, is_object = true, is_lower_object = true}}

Then like before I copied the small lamp's collision mask to my flip dots. This allows the mod to load.

It doesn't seem like I should have to modify the small-lamp to make it work. So I wonder if this is a bug in the game in that "nil" is somehow a valid value for the collision_mask but the check to verify that two masks are the same doesn't work when they're both nil, or perhaps the lamp is supposed to have a collision mask but it doesn't. So should I just set the collision mask to that example or should I submit a bug report about this? I don't really know Lua so I'm not all that confident that I know what I'm doing here.

If collision_mask is not given, then a default is used from collision-mask-defaults.lua. They are per entity type so they may have different defaults.

That explains why at one point the problem only seemed to be affecting the power switch version of the flip dot. I guess I will have to find out what the default collision mask is for the small-lamp and apply it myself.

Thank you.
