help with console

[Zyth]

looking for more info on using the console commands, i have the bobs mod for better logistic robots, but i already have over 26k standard ones and over 500 robo ports so going to each one to remove any vanila robots isnt an option, is there a command/commands i could run to kill off all flying and or docked vanila robots, something better than the best i could do wich didnt work /c game.forces["neutral"].kill_all_units(construction-robot)

[prg]

this is usefull except for one thing the bobs logistics changes the names of the roboports so it cant find the inventory and i dont no how to find the new name,

[prg]

Hover over a roboport with the mouse and run

Code: Select all

/c game.local_player.print(game.local_player.selected.name)

[Zyth]

attemped this, didnt work, any help would be apprieciated

Code: Select all

local original = "construction-robot"
local replacement = "bob-construction-robot-4"
local s = game.local_player.surface
for chunk in s.get_chunks() do
    local entities = s.find_entities_filtered{name="roboport", area={{chunk.x*32, chunk.y*32}, {(chunk.x+1)*32, (chunk.y+1)*32}}}
    for _, entity in pairs(entities) do
        local inv = entity.get_inventory(1)
        local count = inv.get_contents()[original]
        if count then
            inv.remove{name=original, count=count}
            inv.insert{name=replacement, count=count}
        end

[Zyth]

and that is the correct name the code returned the name roboport

[prg]

With this code I can turn construction robots that are sitting in roboports into logistic robots and vice-versa just fine. Those are unmodded though. Any kind of error message?

[Zyth]

nope thats whats wierd, it just doesnt do anything but it acts like its trying to,

[prg]

Does unmodded logistic <-> construction work for you?

[Zyth]

tried this

Code: Select all

local original = "construction-robot"
local replacement = "logistic-robot"
local s = game.local_player.surface
for chunk in s.get_chunks() do
    local entities = s.find_entities_filtered{name="roboport", area={{chunk.x*32, chunk.y*32}, {(chunk.x+1)*32, (chunk.y+1)*32}}}
    for _, entity in pairs(entities) do
        local inv = entity.get_inventory(1)
        local count = inv.get_contents()[original]
        if count then
            inv.remove{name=original, count=count}
            inv.insert{name=replacement, count=count}
        end
    end
end

didnt work eithr,

^^result of the code, was nothing changed, my roboport was still full of vanilla construction robots,

[prg]

You need to actually execute that command with /c, like all the other commands.

[Zyth]

omg am i really that dumb,,,

[Zyth]

thank you so much, it never occoured to me to check if the /c was at the start of the code, i feel really dumb now,
