Hi,

Can someone please explain to me how the chests for the Supply challenge Scenario are created?

I only see this code:

Code: Select all

  global.chests = {}
  for k, chest in pairs (game.surfaces[1].find_entities_filtered{name = "red-chest"}) do
    chest.minable = false
    chest.destructible = false
    global.chests[chest.unit_number] = chest
  end

So I assume it's something to do with the fact that it's a Scenario and somehow a starter chest is hard coded?

What would be the best way to re-produce some starting chests that will work with the challenge code?

Thanks.

if you look in the entities file way down near the bottom is code to create the chest.

Code: Select all

local red_chest = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["logistic-container"]["logistic-chest-passive-provider"])
red_chest.minable = nil
red_chest.type = "container"
red_chest.name = "red-chest"
red_chest.picture = red_chest.animation
red_chest.order = "r-e-d"
data:extend({red_chest})

after that i assume the blueprint in the folder contains the chests to be placed down
