Set metadata for schematics on mapgen

[Skulls]

Is there a way to set the metadata of schematic nodes placed during map generation? As an example, I wanted to give all of a tree's nodes a group ID so that the entire thing could be removed without walking up the trunk nodes.

I don't know, but doesn't on_construct = function(pos), allowing for minetest.get_meta():set_int("id", i) do the trick?

I also don't know if NodeMeta allows for ints.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for schematics placed during map generation: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L6019

disregard my comment, I was off in my thought

possibly this could help you figure out how to do what you want?

Unfortunately, no. As mentioned in that thread the Timber mod walks up the trunk from the dig node and this can cause issues with non 1x1 column tree trunks. Not to mention leaves. You would have to place the schematic then re-interpret the nodes in that schematic later. But if you could set some metadata when the schematic was first placed you would be able to do it a lot better.

My question really isn't about chopping down trees though. It is about how to do something extra to schematic nodes as they are being generated.

ahhhh, now I get it. sorry for the misunderstanding.
perhaps paramat or sofar will be able to offer some solution or ideas

on a side note, further down in that thread cornernote added leaves into the code as well. (not that it helps your situation)

You could try to put the ID into param2 of the node -> use the bits 1110'0000 so you don't mess up the rotation. That value can be changed easily using the VManip functions.

Nice! Thank you
