Code: data/mods/die/init.lua

Code: Select all

-- Minetest Die Mod

math.randomseed(os.time())

-- You need to roll ONE out of ITEM_LOSE_DICE
local ITEM_LOSE_DICE = 4

minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player)
        local inventorylist=player:inventory_get_list("main")
        local i=1
        while inventorylist[i]~=nil do
                if math.random(1, ITEM_LOSE_DICE) ~= 1 and (inventorylist[i]~="") then
                        print(inventorylist[i])
                        local bnumbeg, bnumend=string.find(inventorylist[i], '" ')
                        local oldvalue=tonumber(string.sub(inventorylist[i], bnumend))
                        oldvalue=math.random(0,(oldvalue/3)-1)
                        local newstring=string.sub(inventorylist[i], 1, bnumend)
                        newstring=(newstring..tostring(oldvalue))
                        if oldvalue == 0 then
                        inventorylist[i]=""
                        else
                        inventorylist[i]=newstring
                        end
                end
                i=i+1
        end
        player:inventory_set_list("main", inventorylist)
        return
end)

This works only with the suggested patch in the Development Section.

Very good idea! This will make players think twice before going to death)

Waiting for adding patch in upstream.

Love it! Should be added in official game IMO.

Death is now somethething else that only a "teleport to spawn location"

Thanks redcrab. It was a wrong interval for math.random given. it should work now.

Thanks Jeija. You're right I looked up inventory handling from your mod and copied the code with some small modifications.

[Hackeridze]

die_hard added into RTMMP

[robin]

but I do not see any differences in your first post code... ? where is the fix ?

Code: Select all

oldvalue=math.random(0,(oldvalue/3)-1)

changed to

Code: Select all

oldvalue=math.random(0,(oldvalue/3))

Sorry but same issue, I compare and the file is identical as before ... where is the fix ?

You can get fixed version from RTMMP. Maybe robin just forgot to git push.

Argh. Somehow the patch did not make it into git. I'm sorry. It should work now.

Thx it works now

cool mod... But what it could be better if things will be dropped on death place, like in MC.
