How to make players not go through each other?

[Warrior_4_Christ]

Hey guys! I was playing Minetest, and I found it really annoying that I can go right through other players. I am hosting a server and most of my players don't like this. Is there a minetest.conf setting or something that I can use? Or do I have to use a mod?

YES!!!

in your games folder:

E.G. minetest_game/mods/default/player.lua


Add this line:
physical = true,

below the line:
mesh = model_name,

Code: Select all

-- Called when a player's appearance needs to be updated
function default.player_set_model(player, model_name)
	local name = player:get_player_name()
	local model = models[model_name]
	if model then
		if player_model[name] == model_name then
			return
		end
		player:set_properties({
			mesh = model_name,
			physical = true,
			textures = player_textures[name] or model.textures,
			visual = "mesh",
			visual_size = model.visual_size or {x=1, y=1},
		})
		default.player_set_animation(player, "stand")
	else
		player:set_properties({
			textures = { "player.png", "player_back.png", },
			visual = "upright_sprite",
		})
	end
	player_model[name] = model_name
end

Works like a charm.

Is there a reason that this isn't the default in minetest already?

Wow thanks man! That worked perfectly!

On non-PvP servers, player collision can be problematic since a single player would be able to block small, narrow tunnels for everyone else.

Should be configurable in the minetest.conf I'd say ... Easier to find than the Lua code :) I'll see if I can make a PR

This would cause a lot of problems on servers that have a static spawnpoint, as a bottleneck would be inevitable.. In theory, it would even be possible for a few players to team up and completely blockade spawn. And that is very bad.

The admin could always kick or ban them if they do that. They could also use he teleport command for moderation.

Well you can also just do a set_properties( { physical = false } ) when in a say a 100 block range of spawn?

Really? Wow I didn't know you could do that. I'm not very good at modding.

I wonder developers did not take a care about it. Maybe for don`t hinder other players thus?

I'm sorry I don't understand what that means. It sounds like English is not your first language. If you could post in your language then I could translate. :)

Code: Select all

for p in players
  while p:get_hp() > 0
    p:set_properties({physical=true})
  else
    p:set_properties({physical=false})
...
  if p:getpos() == anyotherplayersomehow:getpos() then
    telefrag()
end

let's say, around 5 players could do a "human prison" it needs to be coupled with entity pushing to avoid that!

Edit: I wonder developers didn`t take a care about it. Maybe not to hinder players to go them if some of them hinder?


I hope do you understand my sentence now?

Теперь я понимаю. Я видел, что вы из России, поэтому я перевел то, что вы сказали на русский, а затем вернулся на английский язык.

Hmm... that you translated on Russian with helping Google translator it looks like a little no correct. I could translate your text from English to Russian. Just i sometimes can talk no correct.
