FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

A mod that adds a door that can be only be open/closed by the person that placed it. However, it is meant to be used with node protection since people can just dig around it. Also, it currently has a bug where if a person places it where the door doesn't have enough room to be placed, it disappears instead of going back into the inventory. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Craft Recipe:
Same as a regular door except steel for the handle.
'wood', 'wood'
'wood', 'steel_ingot'

you can use the node declarations' can_dig to check for ownership :-)

Ex.:


can_dig function either has to return true or false, if false, player can't dig the door.

(Though without node protection of any kind, they can dig anywhere around it :-/)

Thanks for the suggestion mauvebic. Unfortunately, it doesn't prevent people from sneaking through the door by digging and running into it, or at least it didn't stop that on my computer. Instead, I've made the door immortal when closed and able to be dug when open to stop that. I think i'll add your suggestion to my code though to protect the open doors that aren't under node protection.

please update, its kindof unusable right now

The default minetest_game since 0.4.4 has locked steel doors.
