What do you mean? Is there an error when you try to concatenate?

(that alone bracket on swap node function didn't matter)

The following error appear on chat:

2017-03-04 02:00:42: ERROR[Server]: Map::setNode(): Not allowing to place CONTENT_IGNORE while trying to replace "default:leaves" at (99,28,103) (block (6,1,6))

[kaeza]

It means the node you are trying to place doesn't exist.

[yzelast]

Thinking about it, i forgot the default modname at the beginning...it's sad...well, sorry for the time wasted here, i will think more next time.

[kaeza]

No, that should be part of the name already.

Code: Select all

local node = minetest.get_node(value) --> node.name == "default:leaves"
node.name = node.name .. "_dry" --> "default:leaves_dry" 

I don't think that node exists.

Is it possible to make such a leaf shape? It is a normal leaf node with an oversized plantlike inside

The nodebox trees have similar leaves, you could take a look on it.

Would it be possible to make a copy of the mapgen at a different height without an expensive function?
(I already tried just copying dirt with grass using register_on_generated but it was really slow)

[burli]

You mean a copy of the generated map? How far you will copy? Inside a chunk

[D00Med]

Yeah. Everything

[burli]

Should be fast if you use VoxelManip

[D00Med]

Ok...I should probably learn how then...

Maybe you should post the actual code to see if somebody can suggest improvements?

Does node metadata become compressed?

I'm fairly sure everything on the map is compressed, including entity data as well.

[burli]

I know that nodes have a on_rightclick callback, but I can't find something similar for tools. Is it possible to call a callback function if I make a rightclick with a tool? For example if I want to make different actions with the same tool?

[rubenwardy]

It's on place

[Desour]

It's
on_place = function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
and
on_secondary_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing).
on_place is called when you make rightclick on a node with the item,
on_secondary_use is called when you make rightclick with the item without pointing on any node.
These are not only for tools, I think, they are for every item (craftitem, node, tool).

[burli]

A, ok, it's a little bit confusing that a rightclick callback is sometimes called on_rightclick and sometimes on_place. Doc could be more clear at this point

Question/ Issue: If I use minetest.register_alias to replace one mods version of a node with another, will the first mod recognize the replacement node for crafting? Where should I put such alias statements?

Reason: In my personal minetest game, I have both Dark Ages and Technic installed. I want to use DA's version of Marble and a few other nodes over technic's in the worldgen, but only if Technic will recognize DA's version for crafting. This applies to other nodes/ ores like rubies (I currently have two versions).

More Info(optional): I'm also wondering where I should put this, in a /mygametweaks folder under the game's mod folder? If I do, do I have to fully define it as a mod with a depends.txt and all?

[TumeniNodes]

This is the code for a drawbridge I was working on a while back...
Never did figure out why I can't walk it?

I can walk along the center for about 2 nodes then... woosh, fall through.

What am I doing wrong? (I should be able to figure this out by now but.... : / )
I just tried again today, but only for about 5 minutes and said "screw it", maybe someone else will see what I did wrong, right off the bat... :P

I also have an obj model but, it works this way... well, visually anyway

Any help will be greatly appreciated... ten-Q

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node("castle_features:drawbridge_raised", {
	description = "Drawbridge Raised",
	drawtype = "nodebox",
	tiles = {"bridge_timber.png"},
	paramtype = "light",
	paramtype2 = "facedir",
	node_box = {
		type = "fixed",
		fixed = {
			{-2.5, 0.25, 0.25, 2.5, 5.3125, 0.5},
		},
	},
	sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(),
	groups = {choppy=2, wood=1,oddly_breakable_by_hand=3,flammable=3},
	on_rightclick = function(pos, node, puncher)
		minetest.swap_node(pos, {name = "castle_features:drawbridge_lowered", param2 = node.param2})
	end,	
})

minetest.register_node("castle_features:drawbridge_lowered", {
	description = "Drawbridge Lowered",
	drawtype = "nodebox",

Add a collision box.

make a mesh node (and yes, this is entirely reasonable geometry)

Add a collision box.

There is a collision box (though only on the lowered bridge), I think Minetest just doesn't detect collisions that far.

Indeed, Minetest has serious bugs with collision boxes >1 node in size.

Actually, you can go 1 beyond the node itself. This node goes 2.0 beyond it, so the last 1.0 will be buggy.

A more reliable method would be voxelmanip and do multiple nodes.
