So I gave worms the ability to launch units at you.
I did this by adding a a create entity to the projectile:
Code: Select all
{
type = "create-entity",
trigger_created_entity = "true",
entity_name = "unit-cluster"
},
The entity that gets created,"unit-cluster", is a biter with 1 life and a negative life re-gen of -2, so it will die.
Using "defines.events.on_entity_died" I then spawn units when "unit-cluster" dies.
Code: Select all
if (event.entity.name == "unit-cluster") then
SpawnLaunchedUnits(event.entity)
endWas just wondering if anyone saw any issue doing this?
Thanks.
Control Code
Code: Select all
script.on_event({defines.events.on_entity_died,defines.events.on_robot_pre_mined,defines.events.on_preplayer_mined_item,},function(event) On_Remove(event) end)
---------------------------------------------
function On_Remove(event)
---- Unit Launcher
if global.tick < event.tick then
if game.evolution_factor > 0.995 then
global.evoFactorFloor = 10
else
global.evoFactorFloor = math.floor(game.evolution_factor * 10)
end
global.tick = global.tick + 1800
end
if (event.entity.name == "unit-cluster") then
SpawnLaunchedUnits(event.entity)
end
end
---------------------------------------------
-- Spawn Launched Units
function SpawnLaunchedUnits(enemy)
local subEnemyName = subEnemyNameTable[enemy.name]
if not subEnemyName then
return
end
if subEnemyNameTable[enemy.name][global.evoFactorFloor] then
subEnemyName = subEnemyNameTable[enemy.name][global.evoFactorFloor]
end
local number = subEnemyNumberTable[enemy.name][global.evoFactorFloor]
for i = 1, number do
local subEnemyPosition = enemy.surface.find_non_colliding_position(subEnemyName, enemy.position, 2, 0.5)
if subEnemyPosition then
enemy.surface.create_entity({name = subEnemyName, position = subEnemyPosition, force = game.forces.enemy})
end
end
end
