For now I've worked around it with this: function FindMySprinklers() MySprinklers={} NumSprinklers=0 ScannedSprinklers = this.GetNearbyObjects('Sprinkler',this.Range*2) Xmin=this.Pos.x-this.Range Xmax=this.Pos.x+this.Range Ymin=this.Pos.y-this.Range Ymax=this.Pos.y+this.Range if next(ScannedSprinkle...

But that said if GetNearbyObjects would use a square it would make things only a little bit easier for square rooms but it wouldn't entirely solve your problem either because a square big enough to fully cover a rectangle (or the cellblock in your scenario) would suffer the same problem as trying t...

Well I already knew that it works in a radius instead of a square or "Manhatten distance"... and I thought this was common knowledge around modders. How? The lua_functions.txt mentions 'the distance to search within', it doesn't say radius (which would be clearer). But I don't know why th...

I always assumed GetNearbyObjects() would return a square of objects, but it turns out some objects on the edge of that square would not be found unless the range was set higher. I've read posts about GetNearbyObjects() not being reliable, so I tried to figure out why. Therefore I made a little test...

Mod has been updated to duplicate single tiles as well. And it can also duplicate in diagonal way for the corners!

Sounds like it's related to http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=11105 which has been solved for next update.

That makes sense. And keeps the tooltip from getting a mess as well :p

We do "funky" stuff with metatables in Lua for access our variables. Can you give me an example of the loop you're using so I can reproduce the problem locally and get a fix? "Funky stuff indeed" :lol: Another example, there is this Needs.Action thingy in de savedgame with sever...

So then the final example line Object.SetProperty(this,"Tooltip", "Used by Utility Booth nr. "..this.HomeUID.."\n\nFIRE DETECTED!\nSending "..entity.Category.." "..entity.Type.." at "..string.sub(tostring(_),0,4).."m\nto the Evacuation Area"...

Thank god, I thought I was going completely nuts for not being able to get it to work. Thanks a lot, looks like that code will do just what's needed!

SCreen shots or it didn't happen

Allowing it is hard coded into the game, the only way around is to cheat by spawning the stuff with a script.

I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get multi language support into tooltips when the tooltips also have some variables... This works fine: in base-language.txt tooltip_mine This is my tooltip in the .lua script: Object.SetProperty(this,"Tooltip","tooltip_mine") However, w...

Something like this perhaps? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=740737747 Close, but not quite. I want border tiles to be directly editable...though naturally with any obstructing options like walls and whatnot forbidden. Well it won't give the possibility of editing every singl...
