Prototype/Accumulator

Basics

Entity with energy source with specialised animation for charging/decharging. Extends the Prototype/EntityWithHealth

Usage in base

• Accumulator

Properties

energy_source

Type: Types/EnergySource

The capacity of the energy source buffer specifies the capacity of the accumulator. Has to be an electric energy source.

picture

Type: Types/Sprite

charge_animation

Type: Types/Animation

charge_light

Type: Types/LightDefinition

charge_cooldown

Type: Types/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_animation

Type: Types/Animation

discharge_light

Type: Types/LightDefinition

discharge_cooldown

Type: Types/uint16

How long (in ticks) the animation will last after discharge has been initialized.

circuit_wire_connection_point

Type: Types/WireConnectionPoint

Defines how wires visually connect to this accumulator.

circuit_wire_max_distance

Type: Types/double

Default: 0

The maximum circuit wire distance for this accumulator.

circuit_connector_sprites

Type: Types/CircuitConnectorSprites

The pictures displayed for circuit connections to this accumulator.

default_output_signal

Type: Types/string

The name of the signal that is the default for when a accumulator is connected to the circuit network.
