A storage tank.
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):
[ { }]
