How to avoid projectiles from spitters and worms? If I teleport an entity away from enemy's attack range, their "bullets" still persecute entity. How to make them miss an entity?

Hmm... temporarily set the entity to destructible = false?

Total assumption here but if projectiles are entities destroy the projectile entity if it gets too close to the target entity?

Do you guys answer my question or you ask your own ones?
Each "answer" ends with question mark.

There's a
bulldozer mod which has a bulldozer blade which "eats" projectiles, might be useful.

Yes, it's entities.
Code: Select all
blockprojectiles = function(self,pos, area)
for _, entity in ipairs(game.surfaces[1].find_entities_filtered{area = area, name="acid-projectile-purple"}) do
entity.destroy()
end
end
Thanks.
