[Mod] Portalgun V6.37 [portalgun]

Excellent!

Looked at the code and am subsequently hoping for portal frames soon! Maybe they work by setting their portal to the nearest player's name.

Long fall boots 3D_armor add-on would be great too.

This is an awesome and very fun mod. The problem for me is that--for my game (kind of a stealth-puzzler)--it is VERY overpowered. I had an idea to make it so that you could only shoot it at a certain type of block, and that block would only be available in certain places. So when I looked at the init.lua, I noticed this line:

if minetest.get_node_group(nname, "antiportal")>0 then

and thought maybe I could just flip the condition, like:

if not minetest.get_node_group(nname, "proportal")>0 then

That way, I could just assign a special block to the group "proportal", and then you could only shoot it at those blocks. But that gives me the error:

AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod 'portalgun' in callback item_OnUse(): ...tuff\minetest-5.2.0-win64\bin\..\mods\portalgun\init.lua:581: attempt to compare number with boolean

I don't understand why, but this is literally my first time messing around with lua (I just picked up Minetest about a week ago). Is there a way to do this?

Code: Select all

if not minetest.get_node_group(nname, "proportal")>0 then

i think it should work but

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_node_group(nname, "proportal")==0 then

works better.

by the way i added this option in init.lua, set proportal_group_only = true and it works as you want it :)

Wow, VERY cool! I haven't tried it yet, but am just so impressed that you created a whole new option. Thank you so much! Now I shall go get on it.

Would like to clarify some old posts, and add some.

Turrets currently have a bug that shoots at targets just to the side of what their aiming range should be. This is because in Minetest the center of a node is say 8.5 and not integral 8. This is the fix

Add 0.5 to x and z in the detected object's position (I think it's named "a").

Using this mod in Minetest Mobile results in portals being shot straight ahead rather than at what the user is touching. This would be alright, except that mobile has no cross-hairs. Can anything be done about this?

The entity that this mod sticks the player to has some setting for visibility (i think something about "collision_bounds") that is turned on in the code. This makes it impossible to shoot portals downwards after flying out of one, however I have successfully changed this code without any apparent negative side effects.

The cake is a lie.

This mod does not work any more.
