Read access to LuaEntityPrototype.max_logistic_slots

[eradicator]

I can see it in the prototype explorer but can't read it from the API. LuaEntity.filter_slot_count isn't an option because I need to know the maximum number of possible filters (which can be infinite).

Then read it from the prototype: https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaEntityPrototype.html#LuaEntityPrototype.filter_count

Thank you very much! I must've had a mind-block because the prototype explorer shows it as max_logistic_slots.

Thead can be moved to "already exists".

There is about as much in common (if not less) between prototype explorer and data/control stage as between the stages themselves. So take what it shows with a grain of salt.

Not as bad as you make it sound, but I know what you mean. And I did ctrl+f "slot" and "logistic" all over the place because max slots not being exposed felt odd. Alas it somehow slipped through.

Yeah. The prototype explorer takes the internal variable name we use (the C++ variable name) and does this to it:

Code: Select all

std::string PrototypeExplorerWidgets::demangleMemberName(std::string_view name)
{
  {
    constexpr std::string_view key{ "this->" };
    if (StringUtil::startsWith(name, key))
      name = std::string_view(name.data() + key.size(), name.size() - key.size());
  }

  const std::string lower = StringUtil::toLowerCopy(name);

  std::string result;
  result += lower[0];

  char last = ' ';
  for (size_t i = 1; i < name.size(); ++i)
  {
    if (name[i] != lower[i])
      if (last != 'i' || lower[i] != 'd')
        result += ' ';
    result += lower[i];
    last = lower[i];
  }

  return result;
}

So, it sometimes matches the Lua API, sometimes matches the data stage names. Sometimes it's neither.
