Try to find technic:gold_locked_chest in debug.txt file:

Lets start with this: morphinggrid = {} morphinggrid.demorph = function () print("im batman") end to save their functions, use for example registered_demorphs table maybe put into morphinggrid? like this: morphinggrid.registered_demorphs = {} morphinggrid.register_on_demorph = function(fn)...

Or that... but depends on how accurate it should be. How many nodes(in-game) intersects with line from (0,0,0) to (2,0,1) ?
3 or 4? :P

But you already know from_pos and direction.
Do you want to trace all nodes across map?
If no, then calculate to_pos from known from_pos, direction and max_distance.
Then use line_of_sight or raycast or whatever.

player:set_local_animation expects 5 params - 4 tables and 5th is number (frame speed)
Your 3rd param is number, not table.

to hide all formspecs: minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) for _, player in pairs(minetest.get_connected_players()) do minetest.close_formspec(player:get_player_name(), "") -- sadly builtin inventory does not have formname end end) + set empty formspec (to hide hotbar) EDIT: not t...

It should be register_on_inventory_open that returns true client_lua_api
But it does not work for me, is it bug? (5.1.0)
(that function is missing in minetest/core table)

Try-catch block: Exception = '' FileException = 'No such file or directory' CustomException = '[0-9]' -- add your own exceptions... function try(fn) function TCBlock() local o = { status = nil, exception = nil } o.try = function(fn) o.status, o.exception = pcall(fn) o.try = nil return o end local fi...

Ohh, it would not work in case second row is empty. So this should work: function i_give_up_this_is_last_try(t) local ret = {} local last_index = 0 for k,_ in pairs(t.items) do if last_index < k then last_index = k end end if t.width == 0 or last_index == 0 then return ret end local max_items = math...

Oh yes. Crafting recipe needs empty strings, but get_all_craft_recipes() returns all recipes without empty strings x) (looks like bug, but maybe there is good reason why its done like this o.O) To get empty strings, replace: ret[r] = ret[r] or {} with this: if not ret[r] then ret[r] = {} for i=1, t....

I remember in old versions of MT there were 2 windows, game and console. But new version just opens game window.
(im using Windows)

Yes, but i needed them to be visible in-game, in most cases dump variables after some user actions, it is faster than searching in code (for me).

Thank you. I did it (almost) same, register test functions and call them from chat command. All these test files are in one folder/mod so other mods are clean.

How do you write test codes in lua? For example you want to test function you wrote to list all players that are at spawn. You make new mod, and put function into init.lua? And if you want to test function that is inside of, lets say, mesecons mod, you make new mod and call mesecons function? (I did...

No.
Zoom key is mentioned here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... ayer.h#L45
But is missing in: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .cpp#L1436
Weird.

you have 2 options: 1) modify player_api: Not just use - there are globalsteps - first will change player anim if player is not attached (useful for beds mod), yes you can just add player_name to table of attached objs to ignore this globalstep, but another globalsteps will change anim on player con...

If you can not swing or punch, and place node (?), you can say his right arm is down, like left arm. Then you just hide wielditem (hand with item) and set player animation of digging to standing, and digging while running to running :-) Here is code to hide right arm: local hud_flags = player:hud_ge...

But you can shift items in hotbar by wield index, then you get first item :-)
Or set hotbar size to 1 and set wield item (probably not what you want, but... x) )
--> Or swap first item with current wield item.

to get ItemStack: to set item: to get item index (nope, there is not set_wield_index):

--snip-- It works with all recipe widths from 0 (shapeless) to 3 (full crafting grid). I wish I could find a way to have it automatically use the correct conversion depending on width without having to manually check the width and "manually" assigning the values (which then would support ...

inner mods arent they copy of mods that are somewhere else (modname conflict)? see issue: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/9045 Modpack inside modpack is not supported, not in API (correct me if im wrong). Here is something about nested modpacks https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=...

what about vector.distance(p1, p2) < 0.5

use player:set_nametag_attributes({text=""})
