I think your debug syntax is wrong because I tried entering something I know is working and it still doesn't return anything. I know my string.match is working which means I should be able to return drop_name. but it doesn't return.I don't know much about debug so maybe I'm wrong. Not to be rude, bu...

What's the proper way to get the item drop from a node on the ground?

where is the register chat command spawn?

It would be easier if I knew where to find the register.chat_command for it, Any idea where I could find it

I don't think he does, but it shouldn't be too hard to make.

Not to be rude, but did you ever inserted any debug prints in order to find out what your script is doing? I suggest you put this in, because i think its the problem: any other ideas? if mode==1 then local pos = minetest.get_pointed_thing_position(pointed_thing, under) local node = minetest.env:get...

Sounds pretty cool, thanks for the help you did give I haven't worked with detached inventories or the players inventory much but I think I see something that might cause an issue, not sure if it is correct usage or not. The line below has a colon after suitcase. Shouldn't it just be suitcase? if dr...

What about the references to the item drop do you think I'll be ok there? I haven't worked with detached inventories or the players inventory much but I think I see something that might cause an issue, not sure if it is correct usage or not. The line below has a colon after suitcase. Shouldn't it ju...

I did but they didn't return, I also entered the debug that you suggested and it returned Checking if the type of bag1_inv: Not to be rude, but did you ever inserted any debug prints in order to find out what your script is doing?

The colon emphasizes that it's anything from the mod name I haven't worked with detached inventories or the players inventory much but I think I see something that might cause an issue, not sure if it is correct usage or not.

I believe you're right I think I was using above to check for air and what not, tried it but it's still not adding the suitcase to bag slot one so there must be another problem too, but thanks for that reminder. Went ahead and changed it. Trying to reverse the process now I tried adding the suitcase...

Trying to reverse the process now I tried adding the suitcase back to the bag1 slot using if mode==1 then local pos = minetest.get_pointed_thing_position(pointed_thing, above) local node = minetest.env:get_node(pos) local node_name = node.name local drop_name == minetest.registered_nodes[node_name]....

works great I must have implemented it wrong when I tried to implement it. Thanks for the help. Ok, although i totally dislike doing this, tell me how the following code behaves. if mode==1 then local bag1_stack = user:get_inventory():get_stack("bag1",1) local suitcase_name = bag1_stack:get_name() i...

this is the extent of my code and it works fine at what I was trying. It places a suitcase with the node name associated with it, it moves all of the inventory over I just need a line/argument/function to finish it and remove the item(what ever it may be) from bag1. NOTE: mode==1 is on_use if mode==...

I tried chaning everything accordingly and it still didn't work, I was referring to your minetest version. Minetest 4.8 handles things alot different than 4.7. My server owner won't goto 4.8 until it is stable. So I'm writing this for 4.7. I tried my code as single mod, so put this code in a init.lu...

I attemted to impliment your code as a self acting fuction but it doesn't seem to do anything. Try to put the code in a tool on use, there's no need for me to test your code because it still doesn't serve the purpose I need. Im sorry, but im afraid that i am right. The inventory you were trying to a...

And thats what i meant by my previous post. You are currently working on the 'bagcontents' itself and want to delete the bag as a item from the inventory slot shown in the unified inventory when clicking on the Bag icon in the bottom. While your metadata code works well, since you are in the correc...

Im sorry, my bad. Got the wrong case. Anyway, i read a bit through the unified inventory and stumbled over something. You tried to access the inventory list bag1 from the player inventory. But it seems the bags themself are not stored as bag1 bag2 bagn [..] but within the inventory list '<player na...

I suggest that you set some debug info. Like what name is printing 'suitcase_name'. It might be possible that you are even getting a nil value here, if your bag has more than one inventory slot and you didn't put the item in the first index. Since thats the only indexing your asking for in your cod...

I assume meta is defined, and so is "nodename" and "amount". you make a good point so I tried local bag1_stack = user:get_inventory():get_stack("bag1",1) local suitcase_name = bag1_stack:get_name() user:get_inventory():remove_item("bag1", {name=suitcase_name.." "..1}) but it still did nothing at le...

I also tried this which didn't work at all.

I got it to remove the suitcase from bag1 by adding this to the end before return itemstack, but for it to take effect I have to log out and log back in. Any suggestions?

how do I remove the item from bag 1?

thanks works great

I've got it transferring the data but, it won't show player inventory(I feel like there's a better way to do it too) local S if minetest.get_modpath("intllib")) then dofile(minetest.get_modpath("initllib").."/initllib.lua") S = initllib.Getter(minetest.get_current_modname()) else S = function ( s ) ...

--assumes that bag1 list is of size 1,1 in the formspec local bag1_stack = user:get_inventory():get_stack("bag1",1) local suitcase_name = bag1_stack:get_name() if string.match(suitcase_name,"suitcase:") then --code to place node and add metadata end thanks it works great if mode==1 then local bag1_...

the reason I don't show all of my code is because there's still alot of unnecessary screwdriver code left in the code, but I'll give you this. minetest.register_tool("suitcase:briefcase", { description = "Briefcase", inventory_image = "briefcase.png", on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing...
