mod query: private object destroyer

[lister]

is there a mod or an existing capability, like tnt, that would allow players to destroy private/locked objects? like for example a chest non-owner should not be able to open the chest, but should be able to destroy it, items and all; same for doors, etc.

You can make new mod, put to init.lua:

Code: Select all

minetest.after(0, function()
    for nodename, def in pairs(minetest.registered_nodes) do
        if def["can_dig"] then
            def["can_dig"] = function() return true end
        end
    end
end)

To make it per-player specific, consider registering a new item which uses "on_use" (punch) to remove whatever node it's currently pointing at.

EDIT: Or just extend the "on_dig" function supplied above to take the player name in account.
