ProxyContainerPrototype.highlight_target

Post by protocol_1903 »

I wish to have a boolean prototype property on proxy containers such that when the container is hovered over (or when any interactible with the container is hovered over, i.e. inserters and loaders that would normally highlight the proxy container) I would like them to instead highlight the target entity of the proxy container. This is useful in cases where a proxy container is used to target specific inventories of a greater entity while the entity itself is still operable, i.e. an inserter that only interacts with the module slots of assembling machines. I could also see this being useful as a runtime property, where instead of selecting entity A you always select entity B, but that's a whole different API request.

I love what you guys have done with the API recently, all of these tools are amazing. I'm just hoping for some more tools to smooth out the user end of the experience from here.
If you need to reach me, message me on discord.

I make qol mods. Check them out, maybe.

If you have a mod idea, I can look into it.
