Prototype definitions » PrototypeBase » Prototype/Entity » Prototype/EntityWithHealth » Prototype/EntityWithOwner » Prototype/Accumulator
Entity with energy source with specialised animation for charging/decharging.
Usage in base
Mandatory properties
This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithOwner.
energy_source
Type: EnergySource
The capacity of the energy source buffer specifies the capacity of the accumulator. Must be an electric energy source.
picture
Type: Sprite
charge_cooldown
Type: uint16
Count of ticks to preserve the animation even when the charging ends. Used to prevent rapid blinking of the accumulator with unstable need to use it.
discharge_cooldown
Type: uint16
How long (in ticks) the animation will last after discharge has been initialized.
Optional properties
charge_animation
Type: Animation
charge_light
Type: LightDefinition
Note that some kind of charge_animation must also be defined for the light to appear.
discharge_animation
Type: Animation
discharge_light
Type: LightDefinition
Note that some kind of discharge_animation must also be defined for the light to appear.
circuit_wire_connection_point
Type: WireConnectionPoint
Defines how wires visually connect to this accumulator.
circuit_wire_max_distance
Type: double
Default: 0
The maximum circuit wire distance for this entity.
draw_copper_wires
Type: bool
Default: true
draw_circuit_wires
Type: bool
Default: true
circuit_connector_sprites
Type: CircuitConnectorSprites
The pictures displayed for circuit connections to this accumulator.
default_output_signal
Type: SignalIDConnector
The name of the signal that is the default for when an accumulator is connected to the circuit network.
