Overriding The Hand

[LocaL_ALchemisT]

":" from default mod
how to override this item to give action when user left-clicked while empty-handed?

I think its Hardcoded in the Source. Since I tried making the hand a nodebox but it gives me a warning. So it somewhere in the Source.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_item(":", {
	type = "none",
	wield_image = "wieldhand.png",
	wield_scale = {x=1,y=1,z=2.5},
	tool_capabilities = {
		full_punch_interval = 0.9,
		max_drop_level = 0,
		groupcaps = {
			crumbly = {times={[2]=3.00, [3]=0.70}, uses=0, maxlevel=1},
			snappy = {times={[3]=0.40}, uses=0, maxlevel=1},
			oddly_breakable_by_hand = {times={[1]=3.50,[2]=2.00,[3]=0.70}, uses=0}
		},
		damage_groups = {fleshy=1},
	}
})

This is a good question.
I tried using "minetest.override_item ()"
This raises an error:
18:42:59: ERROR[main]: ...est/0.49.5/bin/../games/blockrole/mods/tradeoff/init.lua:2: Attempt to redefine type of : to "none"
So the only solution I see is to change the definition of the hand in default.
If some core developper could implement a more elegant solution would be useful.

Override item is supposed to be used to override properties, not the whole thing.
The name of the hand is "", not ":" (":" is used to allow the item name to be "", it is the override character).

Suggestion: minetest.registered_items[""].on_punch = ...

i try with your subgestion like:
minetest.registered_items[""].on_use=function(itemstack,placer,pointed_thing)
print(tostring("hell"))
end

I've got a question about hand:
When I played with an old tnt mod, a hand spawned. And it was an entity, l think. How can l let my hand spawn somewhere outside my inventory without writing a special code for it?
