[Mod] Particles Mod [0.3.1] [particles] (Page 2 of 4)

I wanna try that!

WATERPARTICLES = {
    physical = true,
    collisionbox = {0,0,0,0,0,0},
    visual = "sprite",
    visual_size = {x=0.2, y=0.2},
    textures = {"default_water.png"},
    on_activate = function (self)
        self.object:setvelocity({x=math.random(-1,1)*0.5, y=math.random(-1,1)*0.5, z=math.random(-1,1)*0.5})
    end,
    on_step = function(self, dtime)
        self.timer = self.timer + dtime
        if self.timer > 20 then
            self.object:remove()
        end
        if minetest.env:get_node(self.object:getpos()).name ~= "default:water_source" then
            self.object:remove()
        end
    end,
    timer = 0,
}

minetest.register_entity("particles:water", WATERPARTICLES)

minetest.register_abm({
    nodenames = {"default:water_source"},--, "default:water_flowing"},
    interval = 10,
    chance = 1,
    action = function(pos)
        if math.random(1000) == 1 then
            minetest.env:add_entity({x=pos.x+math.random()*0.5,y=pos.y-0.25,z=pos.z+math.random()*0.5}, "particles:water")
        end
    end,
})

This code adds floating particles in water. What about adding this to V 0.2 of this mod? (Maybe with another texture for the particles)

Congrats to your 600th post! ^^

I guess the fact that it is lua instead of c++ isn't the main problem. The most important thing is that particles cannot be controlled by a server - It must be client-side only. So for now, it's good to have this mod, but don't put too much work into it, so if someone makes this in c++ it was not totally for nothing.
