Does anyone know if there are any lua events related to shooting? or being shot?
I am trying to modify friendly-fire damage values. The initial word on IRC was this was not possible, but wanted to confirm.

You'd have to check specific entities during on_tick handler which would be very show.
However, there's perhaps another way to do it - when things are shot, does it create remnants? If so, does their creation trigger the entity creation events?
You could look at the Fire Extinguisher mod in mod portal - that works in similar way.

from extinguisher mod:
Code: Select all
local function extinguish_fire(event)
if event.entity.name == 'extinguisher-remnants' then
-- you at least know where shots landed
end
end
script.on_event(defines.events.on_trigger_created_entity, extinguish_fire)
