Just place a samer node, rightclick it to open its formspec, look to the help page, write some code in lua and run it.

For all currently available functions look into the ingame help.

Example code:

Code: Select all

while true do
if not move(-1) then
while not move(0) do
move(1)
end
end

What do you think about this?

What even is it? What does it do?

It looks like a weird hybrid of a player model, bed and a chest. What does it do?

Read the title, it's a robot that can sleep.
@Chem871: Where do you see the bed? The samer uses the chest as storage, sam's legs are used to walk and sam's arm is used to interact.

What do you need to craft such a robot?
1 chest, some steel , 4 feet and 1 hand.
That's cruel!

This is a wicked mod. Reminds me the necromancy mod in minecraft.... It's... Original. Uhm.

[Desour]

The robot is currently not craftable.
I made the model like this because these body parts also work for sam, so why shouldn't a robot be able to use them, too?

Update:

• An entity is used.
• An ingame help was added.
• The samer is now animated.

[Desour]

another update:

• It's safe now. <- Edit: Nah, and probably not secure either.
• The environment is now filled with many helpers.
• Digging, getting nodes and moving is now possible forwards, up and down.

This mod can be tested now pretty well.
The only thing left to do is implementing functions to control the robot and fixing small things.

A sleeping robot! GREAT just what I needed XD

As paramat already wrote, irony isn't clear in the internet.
If it was no irony (which I hope for you):
What a luck for you that a mod that adds a robot that can sleep appears at the time when you need it.
Else:
If you don't know what sleeping means in this context, sleeping is the pause, the robot takes while executing its code. When it wakes up again, it will continue executing at the point where it stopped.

[azekill_DIABLO]

actually seeing the arm of sam (sam-er i understood the thing) attached to a four leg thing like that xD

Sigh.

For the love of god, please tell us at least what this thing does and what it is for (in the first post). And no, the “title” doesn't help me at all.

Why don't modders write basic and understandable descriptions anymore? :-(

[azekill_DIABLO]

looks like a besic_robot mob that sleeps. No. Okay, help me, this always too wtf.

In my opinion, it's obvious what the mod does.
It adds a robot called "samer" (probably because it should simulate a player) which can be programed like the basic robot. In addition, the robot can be manipulated, sleep and exit (whatever that means).
Nevertheless, there is a description on github.

[Desour]

exit (whatever that means)

Oops, I forgot the c, it's exciting.

I'm not good at giving names. I called it "samer" because it uses Sam's body parts the same way as Sam does. But I needed a reason to make the s small.

which can be programed like the basic robot

basic_robot is different. The samer calls its code only once until it ends (eg. via a return), basic_robot calls its code every second and needs a source node, …

Actually I thought, it would be obvious how to use the samer when you use it. Just place a samer node, rightclick it to open its formspec, look to the help page, write some code in lua and run it. I'll add the last sentence to the first post.
