*SOLVED* Overriding "Drops" in Mobs_redo

[Grizzly Adam]

I am trying to do an override of the sheep in mobs_redo to make them drop mutton. However, the override is having no effect. I am able to override "groups" on this item, but not the "drops". Any ideas?

Code: Select all

minetest.override_item("mobs:sheep", {
		drops = {
			{name = "bbq:mutton_raw", chance = 1, min = 1, max = 2},
		},
})

[jas]

minetest.override is for items registered through minetest.register_*

drops, in the sheep definition, is specific to mobs_redo mob registration, and will not work with minetest.override_item, AFAIK.

Can you think of any other way I can attempt to affect this?

Iterate over the list of registered entities, checking for `drops' property and overriding it manually may work.

1) Add the line "mobs" to your depends.txt file to ensure that mobs_redo is loaded before your mod.
2) There's no override_entity function (yet?), but you can modify the entity table (and only the entity table) directly like this:

Code: Select all

local def = minetest.registered_entities["mobs:sheep"]
assert(def, "mobs:sheep not found")
def.drops = {
	{ name = "bbq:mutton_raw", chance = 1, min = 1, max = 2 },
}

3) Add the [Solved] tag to your main post (= the topic title) if this solved your problem.

Thanks! It didn't work with the mobs:sheep alias, but it did with the mobs_animal:sheep_white entity.

Code: Select all

local def = minetest.registered_entities["mobs_animal:sheep_white"]
assert(def, "mobs:sheep not found")
def.drops = {
   { name = "bbq:mutton_raw", chance = 1, min = 1, max = 2 },
}

All in all, you have me sorted in about three minutes! I will mark this as solved. Again, thank you.
