[SOLVED]Give privs programmatically in singleplayer

[Nordal]

I try to write a game and want to give privs to singleplayer:

Code: Select all

minetest.get_player_privs("single_player", privileges)
print(dump(privileges))
local has, missing = minetest.check_player_privs("singleplayer", {
        interact=true, zoom=true, fly=true, fast=true, noclip=true,
        home=true })
if not has then
    minetest.set_player_privs("singleplayer", missing)
end
minetest.get_player_privs("singleplayer", privileges)
print(dump(privileges))

Errormessage:

Code: Select all

I tried to write the privs in minetest.conf on minetest-level and on game-level but neither works. That's why I try it programmatically. rubenwardy's explanation in his guide is very good. But how to adress singleplayer?

Related Problem is, I get this error all the time:

Code: Select all

2019-01-15 21:25:25: ERROR[Main]: Bitte wählen Sie einen Namen!

How can I give me a name as singleplayer?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post problems. If not, I'm sorry. Please tell me the right place then.

You can't modify privileges whilst the game is loading.

You should also never hard code names like that.

Do this instead:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(player)
    local privs = minetest.get_player_privs(player:get_player_name())
    privs.interact = true
    privs.zoom = true
    privs.fly = true
    privs.fast = true
    privs.noclip = true
    privs.home = true
    minetest.set_player_privs(player:get_player_name(), privs)
end)

Thank you!! This is an elegant solution.

Code: Select all

register_on_joinplayer

makes any tests on privs unnecessary.

Also note that to take a priv away, you need to set it to nil (i.e. remove it from the list), not false. (that has bitten me before :-) )

It is singleplayer, not single_player, but thats not your problem...

Good to know. Thank's for sharing your experince!
