From docs it would seem, that the `set_signal` method of the constant combinator control behavior takes two arguments:

LuaConstantCombinatorControlBehavior

Control behavior for constant combinators.

set_signal(index, ConstantCombiantorSignal)
Sets the signal at the given index

Parameters
index :: uint

However, when called with two arguments, it complains that the argument #3 is nil, if called with three arguments, it says "wrong number of arguments".

code

Also, the definition of ConstantCombiantorSignal seems to contain index already, why is it requested as separate argument?

Thanks for the report. In this case the docs are wrong - param 2 is just a Signal - which is already fixed for 0.16:

Code: Select all

/c global.b.set_signal(1, {signal={type="item", name="iron-plate"}, count=5})

You're giving "signal_id" which also isn't valid - it's just "signal" as the docs show here: http://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Conc ... ntorSignal
