Attributes

disabled :: boolean Read

If the entity is currently disabled because of the control behavior.


circuit_condition :: CircuitConditionDefinition Read/Write

The circuit condition. Writing nil clears the circuit condition.

Example

Tell an entity to be active (e.g. a lamp to be lit) when it receives a circuit signal of more than 4 chain signals.

a_behavior.circuit_condition = {condition={comparator=">",
                                           first_signal={type="item", name="rail-chain-signal"},
                                           constant=4}}

logistic_condition :: CircuitConditionDefinition Read/Write

The logistic condition. Writing nil clears the logistic condition.

Example

Tell an entity to be active (e.g. a lamp to be lit) when the logistics network it's connected to has more than four chain signals.

a_behavior.logistic_condition = {condition={comparator=">",
                                            first_signal={type="item", name="rail-chain-signal"},
                                            constant=4}}

connect_to_logistic_network :: boolean Read/Write

true if this should connect to the logistic network.


valid :: boolean Read

Is this object valid? This Lua object holds a reference to an object within the game engine. It is possible that the game-engine object is removed whilst a mod still holds the corresponding Lua object. If that happens, the object becomes invalid, i.e. this attribute will be false. Mods are advised to check for object validity if any change to the game state might have occurred between the creation of the Lua object and its access.


object_name :: string Read

The class name of this object. Available even when valid is false. For LuaStruct objects it may also be suffixed with a dotted path to a member of the struct.
