Description:

This Mod adds a craftable node to the game. After placing the node it
will mark the center of a sphere with 20 nodes radius. As long as you
move in this sphere you will be granted fly priv. A hud message keeps
you up to date of remaining time and distance to center. After 10minutes
the fly priv will be revoked.
The node can be dug and the remaining time will be saved in metadata.
If you exceed radius more than 10 nodes, leave the game or server shuts down
the node will be automatically dug and added to your inventory if you have a
free slot.
It is not possible to place more than one node at a time.

The duration and the radius can be configured in the init.lua by changing the
value of "flength" and "maxdistance" Keep in mind that the max radius is depending on
the number of active mapblocks in your server. Values > 20 will need more
than one active mapblock.

Good thinking. It's a viable alternative to granting "global" fly privilege.

[azekill_DIABLO]

it's like an antigravity field no? clever!

[Gundul]

Thanks Texmex and azekill_DIABLO.

Yes antigravity field would explain it too.
You can try it. If you leave the radius fly is taken and
you fall down, then the field catches you again and you fly.
This effects works best when you leave at top of the sphere.

I would change the recipe to containing mese. Diamond properties are known to science already, while the mysterious powers of mese is rarely known…

[Gundul]

Yes I like that idea of using mese. I was only afraid it would make the
device too cheap.

But it is pretty easy to change recipe in the init.lua file to whatever one likes :)

i think it's great for a 10 meters radius! (round or cube then?)

It is always round (sphere). Distance is calculated by vectors.
To change radius open init.lua and replace

maxdistance = 20

with maxdistance = 10

thank you! how if two players place this node? which one is destroyed? is it bugging?

Hi, my username is azekill_DIABLO and i'm an exelent bug-maker(yeah...i know...i have a bad reputation)

Lol, looks you are the bug hunter here :D Try yourself and tell me, no bugs I know of so far.

Or try this:

I'll give you some to try.

It could be a technic machine, like force field.

It would allow to make some "flying arenas" or so

I was thinking of that too, But I decided not to. technic always
means you are bound to cables and Energy production. And
long cables is lag generator number one on the server. At least
what I experienced so far. Nevertheless you still need technic
to produce the uranium ingot to craft the node. :)
(if technic mod is installed)

The mod could be modifed to add others privileges, like interact no? no need to have shields blocks, just need 1 interact block.

Yes you can use it with any priv you want. But I think using minetest api for protection and
protection violation is much faster than my on step function.

There used to be a mod which gives privileges by area. I forgot who made it. Ruben Wardy maybe ?

[azekill_DIABLO]

i will see later! but i don't think the on step is so laggy... if it is maybe fing a way to improve performance by checking with more intervals or disable with distance...
