Hi all!

There is function of Constant Combinator:
ConstantCombinatorControlBehavior.parameters
It means, if I need this parameters, it looks like:

local parameters = entity.get_control_behavior().parameters.parameters

and this table is like

{count = 1, index = 1, signal = {name ="signal-ID", type = "virtual"}}, -- if full
{count = 1, index = 2, signal = {type = "item"}}, -- if empty

Why we have this .parameters.parameters? Why not just .parameters?

It's an artifact of how blueprints export as strings. I could fix it but it will break every mod that uses it this way.

Sounds like a good fix for 0.16 then.
