Added LuaEntity::request_slot_count read for 0.13.13.

[aubergine18]

Instead of returning 0 if the entity has no request slots, would it be worth returning nil instead?

Then I could simplify this:

Code: Select all

if someEntity.request_slot_count > 0 then ...

To this:

Code: Select all

if someEntity.request_slot_count then ...

Just makes the code a little cleaner when I only want to do a quick check to determine if entity is a requestor...

Ignore my comment above, I was having a senior moment. Using nil instead of zero would make simple check as to whether entity has request slots faster, but it would make all other operations much slower due to first having to check that the value isn't nil before being able to compare to some other value.
