How do i change the spawnpoint?

[tinoesroho]

... it should be possible to change sethome from parsing a chat command to parsing when a player dies- and then respawn where the player had typed /sethome.

Simple mod for that:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_respawnplayer(function(player)
    player:setpos({x=0, y=0, z=0})
    return true
end)

Put this in [your_world_name]/worldmods/respawn/init.lua (you can use a different modname if you want to).

I know this is a very old post, but I have been searching the web and the forum for a few hours now and cannot seem to find a simple mod that overrides the default minetest.conf file.

What I am looking for is a mod I can easily add to a map that sets the player start point where I choose in the file. i tried the code above and did exactly what it says, naming and all, but it is not working. Is it possible there is another code or mod around that I have not found yet?

You don't need a mod for that.

Add this line to `minetest.conf`:

Code: Select all

static_spawnpoint = X, Y, Z

Thank you. Will this change all worlds loaded? I wanted to have individual maps with different start points e.g. space station map, skybox map, underground cavern map.

It will change for all worlds. If you want specific spawn points, use the Lua function

Code: Select all

minetest.setting_set("static_spawnpoint", "X, Y, Z")

Now, I know this post is super, SUPER, SUPER old, but, for those of you who might still be interested in a good mod to allow you to easily change the spawnpoint, take a look at my latest mod, appropriately named: SpawnPoint!

Anyways, I hope it's helpful! lol
