Ah, okays. Thanks :D that helps a lot.

Topic: Do not fully understand how to use a built-in method/function Reason: From the name, it seems to be the method/function I require for what I am trying to do in a mod I am working on. More Info: The method/function is "minetest.register_on_craft". However I cannot find any good information on...

Hello all! I am back, after a long inactivity due to having forgotten minetest. Anyway enough about that! Onto the mod! As the name states, Powered Machines! I'm working on adding some basic machines, generator, smelter(furnace), OreProcesser, ect. In the future I hope to have an automated way to mi...

Anyone know anything about it?

I didnt know this existed when i added holostone and holocobble to madblocks. One thing i wanted to do which you might be interested in doing instead is adding a switch to make the fake nodes appear/disappear, w/ a sound effect (like that 'whoosh' sound from star trek lol) haha. Well, adding a swit...

p.s. It looks like the false blocks keep also animals and vombies in/out :-)

Thanks :3

I do not know if it does that. Since I haven't tested that.

By default there is something known as ''backface culling'' that doesn't show faces of nodes that are against faces of other nodes. Anything with the ''glasslike'' drawtype should work like normal glass - take a look at the default glass and see the settings like ''sunlight_propagates'' and ''drawt...

Ideas:

1. For the fridge, along with LandMine's suggestion about storing water it in, turn the water into ice "cubes". Which with 9 of them you can make an "ice" block.

2. One word, Pipes.

3. Cabinets.

Okay, so you know how glass removes/makes transparent sides that are connected to other glass? Is there a force an update on a custom glass node to mimic that behavior to work with a normal glass node? So in a sense, when the custom glass is placed it will check for non-custom glass nodes around it ...

2012/7/3: Mod updated.

Added desert stone and sand.

Fixed code so it works on the newer version.

False blocks are now instantly destructible. (Other words, one click and you have it back)

Oh right, I saw one of your posts... You're a modder, right? Kind of. I dabbled in it a bit. yay your back! now update secret passages so I don't have to! hahaha. Alright alright. It might take me awhile to get it updated. Since its been awhile and I'm not even sure if the custom function still wor...

Of course you two don't. You don't even know me. Plus I've been with minetest a month or two before you registered. Which is also probably the same time a left.

Well, I have finally returned to minetest! And boy has it changed! Well, looks like I got my work cut out for me with my new ideas, and getting used to what has changed!

Little hint as to what it is I'm working on, it has a story line to it, and it will divert from the normal minetest ways.

I still wait for the final answer: when will I be able to get rid of manual chance checks? Now if I remove them, on the server start I get huge lags and ABM working for EVERY block and ruining all it's work. You should post a snippet of your code so people can actually look at it and tell you. Beca...

Because of Celeon's request for a Public license for your mods. And after reading about minecraft using Jejia's mesecon in minecraft. I implore you! Use the GNU(GPL) Licensing, or any other CopyLeft licenses! As this will stop others from profiting off your work, but allow you to keep it public. Now...

Here's a bug I noticed while playing in singleplayer (not advanced!). For what ever reason, I cannot dig any of the mesecons' nodes. Tried all tools in default, as well as barehanded. Cannot dig them up.

Idea for wireless. Have a number on the inverter, transmitter, or receiver. Every time you punch the block it increases by one; this is it's channel. A transmitter on channel 1, is received by inverters and receivers on channel 1. We already have channels; if you place a transmitter on glass, only ...

Here look at this code: minetest.register_on_generated( function(minp, maxp) max_add = 20 for x = minp.x,maxp.x do for y = minp.y,maxp.y do for z = minp.z,maxp.z do pos = {x=x, y=y, z=z} if minetest.env:get_node(pos).name == "default:stone_with_iron" then max_check = 5 while max_check do pos_i = {x...

Okay, so I'm trying to make a flat land for creative mode; So that way I don't have to clear out a bunch of blocks in order to get my base-area. But the things I've tried have resulted in a crash. I've looked at both gemstones and moreores to see how they did it, but I have no idea where their first...

It's possible to output more than one item. Although in minetest, one would need to somehow register every crafting, output and input. Using that table of registered crafting, you would just have to have check what was put in, then add items to corresponding slots, then when a player takes the craft...

Sad part is, this is all true. XD

Could you do something like cycling the number each time it is punched? minetest.register_on_punchnode(function(pos, node, puncher) if node.name == "node_name" then -- Check to see if hit by hand (not sure if this works) if puncher:get_wielded_item():get_tool_capabilities().groupcaps[oddly_breakabl...

Hmm... So no way to make it a one time usage?

Alright, so I'm trying to update my AND gate for mesecon, to allow the player to set the amount of connections needed to power it. So in order to do this, I was thinking about adding in that text input window you get when you rightclick a sign, and use that for playing to input a number. Alright so ...

IKR!? Scary little bastards. lol

Weird! Could it be that I'm calling it, after it's already called? I'm adding to temperest's code; just something that will strickly be used for things like in his OGAM. And it's called there once already. But then again, it was working fine until I tried to set the mesecon_on to a local and see if...

Alright, I'm to my wits end. Why aren't the "if"s running?? Its only the "if"s for a-dnode that aren't running. Both the "if i >=2.." and "if i < 2.." both work fine. Edit: Okay, so they are running, but are failing. Why?!?! It's not like the nodes changed! Well if you are using a more recent versi...

The Function just don't exist. Something must be wrong with the Mesecons init.lua The problem is, it does exist; And it works. If I take out my code, and let it load, calling that function works. I mean, if you want proof, here it is in the movesontes. mesecon:register_on_signal_on(function (pos, n...
