I cant find the way to get the methods and fields of requesters.

The best I got was entity methods and fields.

Here is the code I used.

Code: Select all

script.on_event({defines.events.on_built_entity, defines.events.on_robot_built_entity}, 
function(event)
   if event.created_entity.name == "logistic-chest-requester" then
      print(event.created_entity.type)
      print(event.created_entity.help())
   end
end)

Thanks for the help.

Klonan, that's the same i got but that's only for entity.

I need the same for requester, which is not on the wiki.

requester chest is an entity

all the info about the requester chest is on that page
(also in the doc-html in the factorio directoy)

there is nothing more specific

Ok i understood that.

So what you are saying is that there is no other fields and/or methods specific to requesters?

so, everything that is on the wiki is in the game. it should, in the lua parts, not be outdated. The piece logistic network contains information specific for anything that has to do with logistics. This and below has the info you are probably looking for.

Yes, I had found the info mentioned but I expected Inheritance, since I'm more used to OO programming.

Now I'm looking to add functions to do what I need using the methods and fields provided.
I'm learning how to make custom events to trigger functions when a field change.

New language and new API, means learning new ways to do things

Thanks for the help provided.

Of course not, this thread is 2 years old. Use the official doc: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... ic_network and https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Lua ... quest_slot
