block gives you item when you click it

[Joseph16]

Does anyone know how I do this? It needs to be infinite.

Unclear instructions whether it should happen on right-click or on punch. However, here's a code example that gives the player 1 gold when punching and 1 steel when right-clicking.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node("mymod:mynode", {
	-- .. other fields

	on_punch = function(pos, node, puncher, pointed_thing)
		if not (puncher and puncher:is_player()) then
			return -- punched by a non-player
		end
		local inv = puncher:get_inventory()
		inv:add_item("main", ItemStack("default:gold_ingot 1"))

		minetest.log("action", "Ouch! I was punched by "
			.. puncher:get_player_name())
	end,

	on_rightclick = function(pos, node, clicker, itemstack, pointed_thing)
		if not (clicker and clicker:is_player()) then
			return -- right-clicked by a non-player
		end
		local inv = clicker:get_inventory()
		inv:add_item("main", ItemStack("default:steel_ingot 1"))

		minetest.log("action", "Huh? I was right-clicked by "
			.. clicker:get_player_name())
	end,
})

Untested, but will work most likely.

Thank you! That’s perfect! I needed the right click one.

I get an error: unexpected symbol near ‘}’ on the last line of code. I’ve looked for mistakes but I copied it exactly (except for my stuff) any ideas?

If removing the tailing comma before '}' (comma on the line above) does not help, paste the code. Otherwise I'll not be able to help you.

I re-copied it and looked it all and realized I had it all wrong. After fixing it I get a new error: ‘end’ expected (to close ‘if’ at line 11) near ‘by’. Can you re wright the code? I’m so lost!
