LuaEntity.provides_to_other_platforms
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2026 12:05 am
I might be missing it, but currently there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle the "provide materials to other platforms" checkbox on space platforms/hubs by script.
The BlueprintEntity has a `providing_to_other_platforms`, I'd like to request a similar read/write attribute for either LuaEntity or LuaSpacePlatform.
Side note:
I initially searched the API for "provide"/"provides" before checking how it's stored in the BlueprintEntity. I guess "providing" makes sense because it's a continuous action the hub is doing. Looking through current booleans there might be some inconsistencies when present simple, present continuous (with and without `is_`) or the imperative is used. But I'm not a native speaker, might be missing something.
