Minetest Forums

Not to be rude, but did you ever inserted any debug prints in order to find out what your script is doing? I suggest you put this in, because i think its the problem: if drop_name == "suitcase:" then local bag_list = minetest.get_inventory({type='detached', name=user:get_player_name()..'_b...

Ok, although i totally dislike doing this, tell me how the following code behaves. if mode==1 then local bag1_stack = user:get_inventory():get_stack("bag1",1) local suitcase_name = bag1_stack:get_name() if string.match(suitcase_name,"suitcase:") then local pt = pointed_thing if m...

I have a suggestion: Upload everything to Github and post your repository here. Then its much easier to look through your code. If its only one single file you could also use a code paste service like pastebin.
for this test i used Minetest 0.4.7-bc5db9b

I tried my code as single mod, so put this code in a init.lua in a new folder within the mod directory. It was for testing purpose and not to show you an entire ready-to-use function. Also, as i mentioned, this was only a testcode and was done with the unified_inventory:small_bag just to have an ite...

Im sorry, but im afraid that i am right. The inventory you were trying to access is not within the players object reference. Try this code, it worked local. As i said, better read through the lines carefully: --[[ Code example to show how to erase the bag from the bag slot of the unified inventory ]...

Afaik thats not possible.
I don't know what you want to code, even though you mentioned something about plants. Anyway, is it necessary in your code to use an ABM? If not, and you need a timer that can be turned off whenever needed, try NodeTimers.

And thats what i meant by my previous post. You are currently working on the 'bagcontents' itself and want to delete the bag as a item from the inventory slot shown in the unified inventory when clicking on the Bag icon in the bottom. While your metadata code works well, since you are in the correct...

Im sorry, my bad. Got the wrong case. Anyway, i read a bit through the unified inventory and stumbled over something. You tried to access the inventory list bag1 from the player inventory. But it seems the bags themself are not stored as bag1 bag2 bagn [..] but within the inventory list '<player nam...

I suggest that you set some debug info. Like what name is printing 'suitcase_name'. It might be possible that you are even getting a nil value here, if your bag has more than one inventory slot and you didn't put the item in the first index. Since thats the only indexing your asking for in your code.

I've encountered a new error, if I put this: for c=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 do I get "do expected near ," If I put this: for c=1,8 do I get "attempt to concatenate global 'c' a nil value" Any fixes? First error you should look at the implementation of the for [..] do statement in the lua...

Github link to API doc

allow_metadata_inventory_put = func(pos, listname, index, stack, player),
^ Called when a player wants to put something into the inventory
^ Return value: number of items allowed to put
^ Return value: -1: Allow and don't modify item count in inventory

Instead of spawning at fixed places, you could use dynamic spawn points in order to prevend such things or a protected spawn city where pvp is disabled somehow.

Hey guys, i totally stuck on this problem and finally decided to ask here in the forum. Its about this: I wanted to create a furnace which is not working with ABMs too make sure that server lags are causing to much of time loss as well as having a furnace which is capable of working even when the ch...

Great work up to now, even though i had some problems with a slightly older version of yours getting to work. Maybe im a bit too used to technic for that. Anyway i like that this mod nearly has no dependencies and just include them as optional. But i didn't get to test something and would like to kn...

PilzAdam,
thanks for the patch. The user which has set this node already found and removed it before he applied the patch. However, its fixed now and some users already started to update their minetest in order to prevend future crashes.

jeffrash, please check our server topic. trukoil and several other members mentioned that the conversion works, but: a) Is not shown with any values within the switching station b) MV battery boxes are not charging and not charging contents in it So if you just want to use for example the workshop o...

PilzAdam,
where should we start to look for exactly? We roughly know were it occurs, but can't find the correct location. How can we find the node that affects the clients like this?

Thanks for the answer :3

Hey guys,

a little question:
Are NodeTimers persistent even after restart, or act they like the minetest.after() routine and vanish once the server has restarted?

You know, it would help to start reading: Forums thread about server creation I also suggest to read through the wiki and through the forum. There are tons of topics about this. And always opening a new one is about of head pain cause it just shows that another newbie wants only to set up his own se...

Evergreen, then we must be a bit nuts it seems. I also discovered Water which hangs in air or seems just be stopped by a invisible wall. And i visited that place a few more times without noticable change. Calculation kicked in, after i placed a node near the water.

A few things i would like to mention too: ( i didn't take a closer look into your code ) Keep in mind what TNT and Technic stuff does. On landrush we fixed already problems with TNT (somehow) and the screwdriver which had a really annoying security issue. But still the problem with constructers rema...

First suggestions:
Did you installed the money2 mod?
Did you tried to Did the rest of the mod loaded as expected?

Instead of just saying 'It doesn't work', better supply as much
information as possible. Just saying

Is it possible to make a crafting table that only crafts on certain set of things. I want a castle:anvil to craft castle:armor_"item" but not like wood, because an anvil only makes metal items like armor, not trees into planks... do it like a chest and allow_inventory_move only those thin...

Hey everybody, a little question, since i couldn't find anything related to that. Is it possible to run Lua Code Ingame with the minetest namespace? Like opening a formspec, type in your code and execute it. It would increase the development of formspec design for example a bit ( at least for me ). ...
