I dont think so, only health seems to be in the prototypevedrit wrote:Rather than stating expressly in the control what the max health is, can't we get that from the entity? Basically do something like if HP < Max_Health then
Would that be able to handle entities with different max health?
Quite possibly due to this:vedrit wrote:Klonan, the script you posted for having research increase regen rate doesn't seem to work. It's like the research event isn't triggering or changing anything.
Code: Select all
if HP < 1750 then
-- Should be: HP = HP + glob.monsterregen
HP = HP + glob.regenrate --Hp per second determined by global value
monsterwall.health = HP
end
Code: Select all
game.onevent(defines.events.onresearchfinished, function(event) --when research is finished
local research = event.research -- Added this line.
if research == "monster-wall-upgrade" thenCode: Select all
game.entityprototypes["monsterwall"].maxhealthHaha my bad, thats what i get for changing the entity code as i was posting it. Thanks for fixing it upThis is the only place where glob.regenrate is referenced. The rest is glob.monsterregen.
I had fixed within my script, but I think it's because research wasn't pulling the research name from the event. I have a feeling that the script you put up, Pear, will fix it.ThaPear wrote:This is the only place where glob.regenrate is referenced. The rest is glob.monsterregen.

endIndeed you are right with the checking codevedrit wrote:There is a fair bit of redundant code, mostly because I was having issues getting certain parts of the code working. I had included checking for the variables in the createdetevent because sometimes I'd get a nil value in arithmetic when the wall or gate gets damaged. Just wanted to make sure the game had a variable when starting regen.
!You cannot alter entity prototypes after the game's startup. You'd have to replace all wall/gate sections with a new entity.vedrit wrote:I've cut out some of the redundant coding, and I can get my entities max HP to read from my variable file, but I can't seem to get my control file to write to variable file to change the max HP. Or is the game unable to change max hp after the entity file has been loaded?
I will, though as it is it is currently an add-on to another mod, as mentioned. If something in the new release causes the mod to break and the author doesn't fix it, then I might look into making this a stand-alone.jockeril wrote:sounds interesting - I might try it soon.
Will you continue to develop it in version 0.12 ?
Error while running the event handler: __AlienWall__/control.lua:19: attempt to index field 'create_dentity' (a nil valUe)
Appears when getting construction robots to place a blueprint (blueprint is a pair of assembler mk 2s, a passive provider chest, a requester chest, a medium electric pole, and 4 smart inserters), as soon as the first assembler is placed it gives me that error and crashes to desktop
Line 19 should read:instead of:Code: Select all
