Syntax error

Hello !
I'm trying to make a small mod, but it even it's current state it gives me an error.
Code: Select all
script.on_event(defines.events.on_console_chat, function(event)
message = new_message
if new_message == "baza" then
data.raw.unit-spawner["biter-spawner"].health = 0
data.raw.unit-spawner["spitter-spawner"].health = 0
end
end
)
Factorio tells me there is syntax error on line 4 near "-" but I can't figure it out since I copied the names from the wiki.

Several things wrong with it:
- It should be
Code: Select all
data.raw["unit-spawner"]["biter-spawner"].health = 0
- Even then, it wouldn't work because the table data isn't available in the control stage (where events are handled), but only in the data stage (where prototypes are defined).
- Where does new_message on line 2 come from? Do you mean this, perhaps?

Does this do what you want?
Code: Select all
script.on_event(defines.events.on_console_chat, function(event)
local new_message = event.message
if new_message == "baza" then
local spawners = game.surfaces["nauvis"].find_entities_filtered{type="unit-spawner"}
for _, spawner in pairs(spawners) do
spawner.destroy()
end
end
end)

Yes, and yes. Thank you guys so much for such a quick help and an explanation. I will try to learn more about what I'm trying to do next time before doing it.
