option to filter LuaEntity members by entity type

Post by engineer-in-a-box »

I was thinking that since there are so many, I thought it would be useful to include an option to filter the members of LuaEntity by which types of entities can use them

And please put it in the machine readable api so external programs can do the same

I think, there were plans to split the LuaEntity class entirely? Or maybe that was for LuaEntityPrototype.

Yep, boskid has mentioned trying to do that, but he said that it just makes things more complicated for no benefit
