When players are found within 3 blocks, announce date&time once,
start counting and list players within range.
Reset timer if nobody is in range.

Okay, so I have two questions:
Title: Is it possible to make a tool that digs multiple nodes in one click?
Reason: I want to create a tool that specifically digs a 3X3 area of nodes.
Question two:
Title: How do I make it so that only when the player right-clicks an entity, and is mounted to it, that they can receive a tool and for it to get removed when unmounted?
Reason: I want to give a vehicle concept I have the ability to only give the tool when the player is mounted to the structure.

Yes, use a minetest.register_on_dignode callback and when the player digs a node while wielding the tool, dig the area around the node.

I am using a particular map where TNT and other explosive mods dont cause any structural damage even in single player mode. They only damage users (me). What do i need to change in the code to enable damage?

How can I make a node take a very long time to dig? (about 10 seconds to dig one block)

How can I write to my in-game console (that appears by pressing [T], [F10] or [/]) some info from my mod? it is for the sake of debugging code.
Commands print(), minetest.log(), minetest.debug() do not write to in-game console, but to debug.txt file. Command print() does not work all — it does not write even to debug.txt file.

Dependencies should be listed in depends.txt, one per line,not coma separated.
This code should work :
Code: Select all
--registers doublebaked_bread
minetest.register_craftitem("better_bread:doublebaked_bread", {
description = "doublebaked bread",
inventory_image = "doublebaked.png",
on_use = minetest.item_eat(10)
})
minetest.register_craft{
type = "cooking",
output = "better_bread:doublebaked_bread",
recipe = "farming:bread",
}
--registers bread block
minetest.register_node("better_bread:bread_block", {
description = "bread block",
tiles = {"breadblock.png"},
groups = {oddly_breakable_by_hand = 3},
on_use = minetest.item_eat(20)
})
minetest.register_craft{
type = "shapeless",
output = "better_bread:bread_block",
recipe = {"farming:bread", "farming:bread", "farming:bread"}
}
You may be interested in those two utilities :
Meld to compare files (available in your Xubuntu package manager).
Luacheck , to check your code.

I don't know what kind of info you want to broadcast but you
probably need to look into "chat" messages if you want it to show in game.

As I understand, mod's name can't be
group cuz I saw recipes like
Code: Select all
{
{"group:stone"},
{"default:stick"},
{"default:stick"},
}
... for stone shovel.
group name is a reserved name?
If so, what are reserved names in the game?
What if someone make mod called
group?

From my understanding, A mod can be called "Group" as long as it doesn't have any items of any name such as "Stone" or relative to any used groups, it also is most likely to interfere with crafting when you DO register such things.

If you want a mod called "group", then name it "groups."

No, I don't want to. At all. I was just curious what if… while looking at recipes.
How does MT distinguish e.g. itemname
"default:dirt" from group
"group:wood", if the format is the same
"<super>:<sub>"?

"Group" is registered in the engine.

It checks if the half is "group", if so it's a group.

How to make each inventory slot hold more than 99 items (if items are stackable)?
Say, 1000 items.
