is there a way to shrink

[cybervision]

i would like to know if i can shrink in minetest

[Byakuren]

Not that I know of, though it should be possible to write such a mod with the dev version or in the next release.

I think someone tried to make an eat people mod before, but I don't think it got anywhere.

Of course, you can shrink:

Code: Select all

minetest.get_player_by_name"singleplayer":set_properties{visual_size = {x=0.5, y=0.5}}

(untested, but should work)
I think you also should to reduce the collision box and camera height.

[cybervision]

How do i reduce the collision box and camera height
i am using the luacmd mod

For the collision box you can also use set_properties, to change the camera height you can use the eye offset function.

didn't work :(

[Hybrid Dog]

What's the problem?

[cybervision]

it just dosent work
it says invalid command

[paramat]

Everything you need to enlarge or shrink the player (including custom camera height, step height, collisionbox etc.) has been added to MT 0.5 dev version so will be in MT 0.5 stable.

[Hybrid Dog]

invalid command means it's unavailable I think
"/help lua" should show how to use it if it's there

[cybervision]

thanks

[cybervision]

how do i get 5.0

[Hybrid Dog]

What do you mean?

[cybervision]

i mean how do i get 0.5 update or has it not come out yet

[GreenXenith]

You need to compile it yourself from GitHub. This is harder to do on Windows machines, fyi.

[cybervision]

i run linux mint
and how do i compile it

[paramat]

Compiling is easy on Linux, instructions are in the README of the engine repository at Github.

you can also add the daily minetest ppa:
