How do you address an item that seems to be a couple levels deep in code?

For example. Say I want to change the Mining Axe damage amount from 8 to 10.

Code: Select all

    type = "mining-tool",
    name = "steel-axe",
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/steel-axe.png",
    flags = {"goes-to-main-inventory"},
    action =
    {
      type="direct",
      action_delivery =
      {
        type = "instant",
        target_effects =
        {
            type = "damage",
            damage = { amount = 8 , type = "physical"}
        }
      }
    },
    durability = 5000,
    subgroup = "tool",
    order = "a[mining]-b[steel-axe]",
    speed = 4,
    stack_size = 20

It's like 3 levels deep and it seems that no matter how I code it, it is wrong and doesn't work. I've tried quotation marks and different combinations of brackets but i've got to missing something.

Please someone help.

data.raw gives us access to all the different prototype types there is in the game. To Limit it to a specific type you can write

Code: Select all

data.raw["mining-tool"]

To limit it to the steel-axe you write

Code: Select all

data.raw["mining-tool"]["steel-axe"]

now to get the table action you write

Code: Select all

data.raw["mining-tool"]["steel-axe"]["action"]

See the pattern? Do the same for action_delivery, target_effects, damage and amount

Code: Select all

data.raw["mining-tool"]["steel-axe"]["action"]["action_delivery"]["target_effects"]["damage"]["amount"]

You are now able to change the value of amount to 10 like this

Code: Select all

data.raw["mining-tool"]["steel-axe"]["action"]["action_delivery"]["target_effects"]["damage"]["amount"] = 10
