[16.15] (Minor & API docs) Technology effect quick-bar-count

The effect that increases the number of quick bars is called "quick-bar-count", as seen below:
Code: Select all
{
type = "technology",
name = "toolbelt",
effects =
{
{
type = "quick-bar-count",
modifier = 1
}
},
...
},
states it's "quick-bar
s-count"
Minor typo probably.

Thanks for the report. The prototype name and the Lua API name aren't the same thing.
The page you've linked is purely for the runtime control.lua API and isn't used at all in building prototypes.
Most of the time they'll have the same or very similar names - in this case they differ slightly. But changing it would break every single mod that uses it now so I don't consider it worth changing at this time. Maybe for 0.17.

I initially implemented my code using the text it said in the docs "quick-bars-count", but this did not work, in figuring out why, I found it was actually called "quick-bar-count". Both
LuaTechnology.effects and
LuaTechnologyPrototype.effects (the only two that seem to use the
Modifier concept) report it as "quick-bar-count" in-game. See dumps below:
Code: Select all
/c print('proto = ', serpent.block(game.technology_prototypes.toolbelt.effects), 'control = ', serpent.block(game.forces.player.technologies.toolbelt.effects))
proto = {
{
modifier = 1,
type = "quick-bar-count"
}
} control = {
{
modifier = 1,
type = "quick-bar-count"
}
}
No mod using "quick-bars-count" would actually function, so I do think it's strictly a typo in the API docs.
Edit: In case I wasn't clear enough, I suggest
not changing the game, rather to just remove the one letter from the docs, and save a future mod dev some time and frustration from the game and docs not matching up.
