Q. creative/survival/ctf... modes

[aristotle]

Some info that matters when you are in survival mode does not in creative (i.e. death, health): is there a way to distinguish the current mode?

A setting such as the game_mode one the creative mod looks for at initialization in minetest.conf?
I was thinking at hurting myself and then check for damage but that would not be nice for someone in survival... :P

There is no way I know of to do this. If damage is disabled your hp hearts won't show though

...If damage is disabled your hp hearts won't show though

I will go looking for that. Thank you.
In the meantime I have read about the 'immortal' group, but I have to learn more about it and try a few checks before betting on it so your suggestion can be definitely of help.
