[Mod] Trash Can

[tinoesroho]

This mod is outdated!
This mod has not been updated to work with Minetest 0.4.1 or newer. It is functional in older dev versions, but relies on deprecated commands.

This is a simple mod that allows for a quick, easy method of dumping unwanted items. It utilizes the default textures.

good idea, very useful for mod testing!

Two wood blocks side by side like that conflicts with Mesecons (wooden pressure plate). I might suggest something exotic such as two cobble and a bucket of lava.

[tinoesroho]

I wasn't aware that it conflicted with Mesecons. Perhaps this would be more appropriate:

wood wood wood
wood cobble wood
wood wood wood

[tinoesroho]

Updated. See first post.

+1 This is very useful, but I can't remove it; any tools I try to use to remove it are thrown away.
Is there any way around this?

You could set the node to air using worldedit.

^ This, and commanding Harvey are the only two ways to remove it at the moment. If you'd like to know why any tools you hit it with are removed, look at this chunk of code:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_punchnode(function(pos, node, puncher)    if node.name == "trash:block" then
hit_with = puncher:get_wielded_item()
hit_with_name = hit_with:get_name()
hit_with_count = hit_with:get_count()

puncher:get_inventory():remove_item("main", hit_with)
minetest.chat_send_player(puncher:get_player_name(), 'Clunk!')
end end)


What's happening here is that it checks when you it a block to see a)If it's a trash can, if so then b)what was it hit with and c)how big was the stack, and then removes the whole stack of it. Handy for tossing stuff, but it also precludes the possibility of removing the block by punching it - unless you try it empty handed.

If anybody has input on how I should set it up to check for a removal tool and subsequently remove itself, do speak up.

[InfinityProject]

You could also put the trash can into the "flammable" group and burn it.

But anyways I think this would look very nice if it had a nodebox model.

[tinoesroho]

Good idea, 'finity. I'm not sure how to pull off a nodebox model myself, so it might be a week to the next update.

[VanessaE]

Would you mind adding screenshots? Thanks.

[RealBadAngel]

check "wear" of the wielded item. if >0 then its a tool

[tinoesroho]

Mmm. I never thought of that method. I'll see what I can do.

[rubenwardy]

I think it would be better if you open it up like as chest, and drag the items into it

[cornernote]

I think it would be better if you open it up like as chest, and drag the items into it

that would be cool. you put your items in there, and then there is an EMPTY TRASH button that removes all the items from the chest's inventory

[tonyka]

great idea!
would be great to have a look more like a garbage disposal, or you could use my toilet.
also to remove incompatibilities could add a screen and then add the blocks to remove them click a button ... That will remove the problem that destroy hit everything with what ...

[tinoesroho]

I'm thinking of stealing some code from the Furnaces. -.-

[Matsetes]

Is it possible to make it similar to the furnace? You move into the item you want to destroy...
Or also make it breakable with the hand (no object selected)

My fork of the default game adds this to creative inventory: https://github.com/PilzAdam/minetest_game

[Matsetes]

I didn't understand? What is in your game in the creative mode?

[tinoesroho]

He has a trash field in the creative mode.

[nomohakon]

tinoesroho: how is trash can you said you will make?

[tinoesroho]

Still working on it. I hate not knowing a lick of code; makes it very tough to work on mods. I will, I swear, post the update when it's done.

[tinoesroho]

Well, updated. The latest update adds removability (use stick) aaaaaand adds compatibility with old versions. Go trash!

[nomohakon]

Working like a charm. Thanks!

EDIT: Maybe i try to make it chest-like.

[terminalerror]

Good mod. I tweaked the code a bit, see if you like it. (This makes it removable by hand instead, like PilzAdam's bed.)

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

 
minetest.register_alias("trash:block", "trash:can")

minetest.register_node("trash:block", {
description = "Trash block",
tile_images = {"default_nc_front.png",},
is_ground_content = true,
stack_max = 1,
groups = {snappy=1,bendy=2,cracky=1,melty=2,flammable=3, oddly_breakable_by_hand=2},
--     material = minetest.digprop_constanttime(9.0),
sounds = default_stone_sounds
})

minetest.register_craft({
    output = 'trash:block',
    recipe = {
        {'default:wood', 'default:wood', 'default:wood'},
        {'default:wood', 'default:cobble', 'default:wood'},
        {'default:wood', 'default:wood', 'default:wood'},
    }
})

minetest.register_on_punchnode(function(pos, node, puncher)    if node.name == "trash:block" then
hit_with = puncher:get_wielded_item()
hit_with_name = hit_with:get_name()
hit_with_count = hit_with:get_count()

if hit_with_name ~= "" then
puncher:get_inventory():remove_item("main", hit_with)
minetest.chat_send_player(puncher:get_player_name(), 'Clunk!')
end end end)

Smart tweak, terminalerror.
