Better to access the prototype directly. In 2.0, you do that by accessing `LuaPrototypes`, which is available as a global `prototypes`:

Code: Select all

local prototype = prototypes.entity["radar"]
local range = prototype.get_max_distance_of_nearby_sector_revealed()

No, the docs are up to date. `RadarPrototype` still has that property, but you're not accessing the `RadarPrototype` directly. You're reading a `LuaEntityPrototype`, which used to have that property, but now has a `get_max_distance_of_nearby_sector_revealed()` method.
