Hi,
I looked a lot MineCraft videos and i tought why MT have no big swords like Minecraft.
I have a picture for example.

IDK, I guess people just haven't make any big swords. It's not that it's not possible in MT, all you have to do is change the wield_scale property of the itemdef. For example:



The above should make a sword twice the size as normal swords. I haven't actually tried it, but that's my understanding.

Now how to get this to work with weildview/3Darmor? :D

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_craftitem("swords:big", {
  description = "Big Sword",
  inventory_image = "big_sword_texture.png",
  wield_scale = { x = 2, y = 2, z = 2, },
})


The above should make a sword twice the size as normal swords. I haven't actually tried it, but that's my understanding.

Great. I had test it. But i don't know how i can use it for my mod.-There sometimes to much errors or i haven't the damage what i havw wrote. (I'm a bad programmer). Do you know what's wrong?

Sorry, forgot. It's minetest.register_item for tools, not minetest.register_craftitem. I personally think the functions should be put into one, but whatever. Hope it works!

Not possible with wieldview sadly, however, it is with wield3d ;-)



Here is the full code, it has the same properties as the default diamond sword. The last part is not absolutely necessary however it does position the sword better in the hand. Note that the mod 'swords' would need to soft-depend on wield3d for that to work.

How you can get so big swords if you press F7?

Wow, wrong yet again. lol

Thanks for correcting me stu and providing the right code :rotfl:

I was not meaning to 'correct' your code, there was nothing wrong with it other than register_tool which you already pointed out yourself. I was mostly showing how it is possible to see this effect in multiplayer or 3rd person. The code is essentially just a carbon copy of the default diamond sword from MTG ;-)

What is the purpose of such a sword, except imitating Minecraft on principle, and masking the player's view?

minetest.register_tool("swords:big_sword", {

   inventory_image = "swords_big_sword.png",
   wield_scale = {x=3, y=3, z=2},

      },

   },
   sound = {breaks = "default_tool_breaks"},

      {x=-90, y=225, z=90},
      {x=0.25, y=0.25}
   }
end


Tried this, failed to remember to put the last part, and it worked with wrong placement. Added the rest of the code and now it is telling me

Yes, I added wield3d as soft dependency. Wat do?

Sorry, my bad, `minetest.global_exists` is expecting a string. I have now corrected the code above.


Pro Tip: The value z=8 determines how far forward the object is translated.

Now the game loads but it doesn't affect object position. I am still holding it by the blade in front of the handguard. Changing z= doesnt do a single thing.

You look dangerouser in PvP.

Well you must have done something wrong as the code works fine for me as you can see. I have attached a minimal working test mod, I hope this helps.

I made some big swords some time ago
