Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithHealth.

fluid_box

Type: FluidBox

window_bounding_box

Type: BoundingBox

pictures

Type: table
Table with the following mandatory members:

• picture - Sprite4Way
• window_background - Sprite
• fluid_background - Sprite
• flow_sprite - Sprite
• gas_flow - Animation

flow_length_in_ticks

Type: uint32
Must be positive.

Used for determining the x position inside the flow_sprite when drawing the storage tank. Does not affect gameplay.

The x position of the sprite will be ((game.tick % flow_length_in_ticks) ÷ flow_length_in_ticks) × (flow_sprite.width - 32). This means, that over flow_length_in_ticks ticks, the part of the flow_sprite that is drawn in-game is incrementally moved from most-left to most-right inside the actual sprite, that part always has a width of 32px. After flow_length_in_ticks, the part of the flow_sprite that is drawn will start from the left again.

Diagram:

Example state:
  [  { }     ]
  [] <- flow_sprite
  {} <- the part that is drawn in-game, width is 32px

This means:
State at (tick % flow_length_in_ticks) == 0:
  [{ }       ]
State at (tick % flow_length_in_ticks) == (flow_length_in_ticks ÷ 2):
  [    { }   ]
State at (tick % flow_length_in_ticks) == (flow_length_in_ticks - 1):
  [       { }]
