Finding any entity at an exact location

Hi, I am probably missing something and there is a function for this. I need to find an entity at an exact spot, exactly what LuaSurface.find_entity does. But I need to be able to find any entity, or entity of specific type. Is there a way to do this without having to use LuaSurface.find_entities_filtred?
Thanks

Why do you need that?

Because I need to check if there is an object of a type at a certain position. And all I know is the prototype/type name, not the actual entity name.

Code: Select all
LuaSurface.find_entities_filtered{position=your_position,type=your_type}

Okay, didn't realize I can use that one to search just one position. Thank you
