Minetest Forums

Microsoft probably doesn't even know minetest exists. And even if it did, it's got such a small player base and in every way is not refined like minecraft is so they wouldn't see it as competition. Microsoft is not going to "boot" minetest off github. It's a tiny open source project that n...

cool mod, but it really needs texturing.

I agree

I didn’t mean Minetest_game really I meant the Minetest engine itself. I’ll rename the post.

Yes, lua mods can add sprinting. But they use globalstep, so they are subject to server lag and ping, unlike pressing W to go forward there is a delay sometimes, and plus’s there are so many running mods it’s hard to choose.

Or you could just enable it thru the mod manager that’s built in.

I’ll have you know I play on a cactus :|

I know what an api is. I'm making my own mods. What I'm asking is how to I use it with a mod? I installed the mod and enabled it, but whenever I tried to use the mod's functions it does not work.

Oh it was Krock..... I could swear Rubenwardy did this... ok thanks Krock

Thanks!

I want it to give me a diamond sword on RMB release.

I added itemstack to the globalstep function list minetest.register_globalstep(function(itemstack, dtime) I am using this: minetest.register_globalstep(function(itemstack, dtime) for _, player in pairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do local name = player:get_player_name() if player then itemstac...

I've managed to get something working. I used the player api. Not sure where to go from here. Maybe you can work from here. (I've removed some of your code so don't replace your own with this one): minetest.override_item("default:sword_mese", { description = "Mese Sword", invent...

Thanks! I will try this!

rubenwardy gave me this code but he said it was untested, I don’t know enough about this coding language to properly debug it. Thanks.

I tried tha but now it says that the "!" in the code: "!player:get_player_control().RMB then" is an unexpected character.

The line numbers in the error code are off because I didn't paste the entire init.lua. The entire file can be found here: https://pastebin.com/1QFNACKh

minetest.override_item("default:sword_mese", { description = "Mese Sword", inventory_image = "default_tool_mesesword.png", tool_capabilities = { full_punch_interval = 0.1, max_drop_level=1, groupcaps={ snappy={times={[1]=2.0, [2]=1.00, [3]=0.35}, uses=30, maxlevel=3}, ...

Ok

I agree, but this topic should be in Modding Discussion.

Would It be possible to get the velocity of the puncher and also use that for knockback? Like if the puncher is walking towards the player getting hit then it does a lot more knockback?

How do I use this? I installed it and tried to use the key release thing but I couldn't get it to work. Please explain how this mod works.

Edit: Go read my other posts to better answer my questions there.

Ok, here goes. I have a sword. When I right click while holding the sword it will replace the sword with another item, lets call this item sword_blocking. I've got this bit working. Now, what I want, is a function that makes the sword_blocking item get replaced with an item of my choice. So like thi...

Using lua or something, I would like to replace an item in the inventory(the currently held item) with another item, without making it dip down and come back up. Example: https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=18803&sid=00f672f65ac08d6afb86f7177c2252ba I just want the item...
