i find something but not pretty clear how to use it
i find as an empty example this

Code: Select all

    on_rightclick = function(pos,node,clicker,itemstack)
    
    end,

i want to print on the chat window the content of pos to see the x y z values
is posible to print all the values inside an object like in the php print_r(object);

To do something on right click you need to use on_place function. This function is a callback because it will be passed as an argument to the registration function and will be called there inside and therefore you need to define it in the table. For on left click there is on_use callback. There is like no a callback for the middle click.

can i get the position xyz from node or entity or whatever was click whit stick ?

Yes, both those functions have pointed_thing table: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L1479

can i store a value in the item like the position from the last question ?

There is ItemStackMetaRef interface that used for saving some info and retrieving it from an itemstack: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L6012 For accessing to that interface you need first to call itemstack:get_meta(): https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L5998 However, if you want to save a table, don`t forget to put it inside minetest.serialize().

can i set a block in the wordl where im clicking whit the stick ?

You need to get above position when clicking and by some way to get a normal to that surface where you have clicked to. If you click on a floor, you can just add '0.5' to 'y' coord of the above:

Code: Select all

local new_pos = {x=pointed_thing.above.x, y=pointed_thing.above.y+0.5, z=pointed_thing.above.z}

and then call minetest.add_node(new_pos) or minetest.set_node(new_pos)
