Showing gui to player after right clicking on block

[mrkubax10]

Hello!
I'm creating a mod for minetest 0.4.16 and I'm trying to create gui which will be showed to player after right clicking block.
I want the gui to contain slot in which we can put item and in other slot other item will be added.

Sorry for my english but it isn't my native language.

A bit late, but I figured an answer would be nice for future's sake.

I'm creating a mod for minetest 0.4.16

If you insist on using 0.4.x, I would suggest upgrading to 0.4.17.1. Otherwise, you may want to upgrade to 5.1.0 -- lots of new fun API features have been added!

I'm trying to create gui which will be showed to player after right clicking block.

Assuming you know how to make a formspec (gui), you can show it to the player via on_rightclick in the node definition of the block you wish to show it from. Something akin to

Code: Select all

on_rightclick = function(pos, node, clicker)
    minetest.show_formspec(clicker:get_player_name(), "my_awesome_form", "label[0,0,This is a formspec!]")
end,

Useful guide to formspecs here.

I want the gui to contain slot in which we can put item and in other slot other item will be added.

This will require a node metadata inventory and for your formspec to be a node meta formspec.

Note that the links to the API I used were for 0.4.17.1, while the modding book contains content pertaining to version >=5.0.0.
