Why doesn't this change the entity's selection box size?

[Piezo_]

So, I've tried adding this to the "drops" mod to disable the outline around items, because they're useless now that I've already disabled the old pickup system by removing the item's on_punch code.

minetest.registered_entities["__builtin:item"].selectionbox = {0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0}
This is in init.lua's global scope, before any other code runs.

I've tried several variants of this, including using 'collisionbox', but it just doesn't work.
I haven't tried re-registering __builtin:item with my own definition, but I would rather not if there's a better way.

have you tried:

Code: Select all

#    Show entity selection boxes
#    type: bool
# show_entity_selectionbox = true

have you tried:

Code: Select all

#    Show entity selection boxes
#    type: bool
# show_entity_selectionbox = true

Is this a global setting, or an entity property?
EDIT: Seems it's a setting. Well, this doesn't solve the problem, but it's very helpful nonetheless, so I've added it to my minetest.conf.

try

Code: Select all

minetest.after(0.1, function()
	minetest.registered_entities["__builtin:item"].on_activate2=minetest.registered_entities["__builtin:item"].on_activate
	minetest.registered_entities["__builtin:item"].on_activate=function(self, staticdata,time)
		minetest.registered_entities["__builtin:item"].on_activate2(self, staticdata,time)
			minetest.after(0, function(self)
				if self and self.object then
					self.object:set_properties({
						collisionbox={0,0,0,0,0,0},
					})
				end
			end,self)
		return self
	end
end)
