Code: Select all
data:extend(
{
type = "explosion",
name = "alien-artifact-pickup",
animation_speed = 5,
animations =
{
{
filename = "__F-mod__/resources/particles/alien-artifact-pickup.png",
priority = "extra-high",
frame_width = 32,
frame_height = 32,
frame_count = 8,
line_length = 8
}
},
light = {intensity = 0, size = 0},
smoke = "smoke",
smoke_count = 5,
smoke_slow_down_factor = 1,
sound =
{
{
filename = "__base__/sound/huge-explosion.wav",
volume = 0
}
}
})
Im sure the game is loading it, because if I write some error there like writing ((, the game sends an error, but when I try to create an alien-artifact-pickup entity, ( game.createentity({name="alien-artifact-pickup",position=game.player.character.position})), it says that alien-artifact-pickup is an unknown entity name

Oh could it be that you are missing one set of curly brackets around that entity definition?

there are no curly brackets missing, and if there where, it would send an error msg

I can't remember for sure what was in dataloader.lua, but I think extend() expect to get array of tables. So there is no error message, because it treat it like empty table and skips it.

Yes, I would expect that to be the issue here.
