Spawner & 'Force' Setting [Solved]

[TheSAguy]

Hi,

I'd like to add a spawner to the game that will produce biters that attack both the player and vanilla biters.

Is this the best/correct way to implement a new force? Control.lua:

Code: Select all

require("defines")
--
---------------------------------------------				 
function Load_Me()

	game.create_force('vampire')
	game.forces['vampire'].set_cease_fire('enemy', false)
	game.forces['vampire'].set_cease_fire('player', false)

end

---------------------------------------------
script.on_init(Load_Me)
script.on_configuration_changed(Load_Me)
---------------------------------------------

Should there be a test to see if the force already exists?

Thanks.

You don't need a check if you only do the on_configuration changed if the mod didn't exist before,
But a check if fairly easy,

Code: Select all

if game.forces['vampire'] == nil then create_force etc

Also you should need to set the cease fire, as the way you set it is the default already

Do you mean that he should not need to set the cease fire? Your last sentence is kind of confusing.

That's how I understood it "not", since by default different forces oppose each other.

If they are not case fire by default then not is wrong and sentence would need to be changed. I understood from that one that default is case fire.
