Attributes

name :: Read string  

Prototype name of this tile. E.g. "sand-3" or "grass-2".


prototype :: Read LuaTilePrototype  


position :: Read TilePosition  

The position this tile references.


hidden_tile :: Read string  ?

The name of the LuaTilePrototype hidden under this tile, if any.

During normal gameplay, only non-mineable or foundation tiles can become hidden. This can however be circumvented with LuaSurface::set_hidden_tile.


double_hidden_tile :: Read string  ?new

The name of the LuaTilePrototype double hidden under this tile or nil if there is no double hidden tile.

During normal gameplay, only non-mineable tiles can become double hidden. This can however be circumvented with LuaSurface::set_double_hidden_tile.


surface :: Read LuaSurface  

The surface this tile is on.


valid :: Read boolean  

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 :: Read string  

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.
