List of data.raw categories that contain entities?

[sparr]

I want to loop over every entity in data.raw in my data-updates.lua. Unfortunately they are categorized, and I can't find a way to tell entity categories from non-entity categories.

My immediate solution is to just copy this list: https://github.com/Suprcheese/Squeak-Th ... lua#L8-L32

I'd love to know if there's a more appropriate way to dynamically build this list.

What property are you reading/changing from entities?

You could check to see if the property exists.

Unlike items where item subtypes are in the list, EG, data.raw.tool is a fairly common alternative to data.raw.item... I thought ALL entities were just under data.raw.entity.

I have used here this list of entities:

code

Code: Select all

local mustbemasked = {
"accumulator",
"assembling-machine",
"constant-combinator",
"container",
"curved-rail",
"decider-combinator",
-- "electric-pole",  -- i think it must be avaible
"electric-turret",
-- "entity-ghost", -- idk
"fluid-turret",
"furnace",
"gate",
"generator",
"inserter",
"lab",
"loader",
"logistic-container",
"pipe",
"pipe-to-ground",
-- "player", -- nope! nope!
"power-switch",
"pump",
"radar",
"roboport",
"rocket-defense",  -- idk
"rocket-silo",
-- "simple-entity", -- idk
"smart-container",
"solar-panel",
-- "splitter", -- i think it must be avaible
"storage-tank",
-- "tile-ghost", -- idk
-- "transport-belt",  -- i think it must be avaible
"turret",
-- "underground-belt",  -- i think it must be avaible
-- "unit", -- pls dont
-- "unit-spawner",  -- pls dont
"wall"
} 

And yes, it's now impossible to get them with a one command or iterate them.
