function to grant permisions on rightclick?

[Joseph16]

I am making a mod for my home server that grants you privs when you right click a item. I have the item part down, but the on_use function does not work. I took some code from the flight mod that give a priv on use but it is missing something. Here is the code I use:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craftitem("toast_machine:privs", {
description = "1",
inventory_image = "1.png",
on_use = function(player)
            local playername = player:get_player_name()
            local privs = minetest.get_player_privs(playername)
            privs.fly = true
            privs.fast = true
            minetest.set_player_privs(playername, privs)
        end,

})

but when I click the item I get this:
I do have the playereffects mod installed and set as a dependency. I am missing some code to define the player code. Any ideas?

You must look at the function parameters which are given to the on_use callback. See docs: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L5462
`user`, or in your case `player` is the 2nd argument, but your code uses argument 1, which would be the item stack.

Code: Select all

on_use = function(itemstack, player, pointed)
... code
end,

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craftitem("toast_machine:privs", {
description = "1",
inventory_image = "1.png",
on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing)
            local playername = user:get_player_name()
            local privs = minetest.get_player_privs(playername)
            privs.fly = true
            privs.fast = true
            minetest.set_player_privs(playername, privs)
        end,

})

This might get ya closer. Untested of course :)

Thanks ExeterDad and Krock for the replies! I will test the code in a while!
