Can player hold 3d object? (ex:holding gun)

[Kevin Tee]

I am modelling 3d guns for minetest. I want to know if player can actually hold it or not? Like other fps games.

If the player can, can recoil and flash be add? Thanks.

i don't know you can search in the mods api manual, or in rubenwardy modding book...

Sincerely i don't know it!

it may be possible by hacking 3dwieldview

but it will be laggy.....

3D armor includes a modified player model that shows the wielded item.

i was talking of the other mod by stu......

edit: it's the same thing....

I found a way to do it, but it's not very good for guns because the model moves as if digging.
Just make a node with "mesh" drawtype, and make it shoot with "on_use"
I hope that explanation is clear enough.

It's possible with nodes, i made it in the gravitygun mod... nodes have the on_use and on_place functions like tools / items.

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_node("gravitygun:gun2", {
   description = "Gravitygun",
   range = 10,
   stack_max = 1,
   inventory_image = "gravitygun_gun2.png",
   tiles = {"tiles"},
   groups = {dig_immediate = 3},
   paramtype = "light",
   sunlight_propagates = true,
   drawtype="mesh",
   mesh="gravitygun_gun.obj",
   on_use = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing)
      return itemstack
   end,
   on_place = function(itemstack, user, pointed_thing)
      return itemstack
   end,
})

})

that's a good thing and a good mod, but i think Kevin Tee is talking about "tools" or "craft_items" then i can suggest something, add a mesh instead texture...

He is talking about models not craft items or tools
If you do a text search on the page, you will find the word "tool" first on my post, and craft / items on your under :P

2: you can use nodes as tools, tools / craft items cant use models so why not use the nodes? the problem will be solved in a simple way.

add "stack_max = 1" to make it work like a tool (can only wear 1 in a slot)

and this to make it unplaceable

In a lot of cases this is true, however, nodes do not wear out like tool items do. It would be nice if tool and craft items could also support meshes.

i think that can be a good feature for the 0.4.15, anyways is better wait, by now the only way is using nodes...
