For barter shops Etc, you need to know the node name. If the tekkit mod isn't enabled, then I can't find a way to easily find the node name.

I know you can look inside the lua files, but that takes a while and if the mod isn't on your local machine then what?

Does anyone know an easy method to get a node's name?

None that I know of. There should be a command which gets the pointed block and prints the node name into the chat.

There's also Dan Duncombe's currency mod which allows to edit the shop visually by dragging the items around instead of having to enter the item name.

I wanted to do a mod like that some time ago, but the problem is, that there is no way I know of on how to get the pointed node. (Except punching.)

For items in the inventory take this.

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_chatcommand("getinfo_item", { params = "", description = "name of item in hand", privs = {}, func = function(name, param) local player = minetest.get_player_by_name(name) if player == nil then minetest.log("error", "Unable to get info, player is nil") return true -- Handled chat message end if player:get_wielded_item():is_empty() then minetest.chat_send_player(name, 'Unable to get info, no item in hand.') else local item_name = player:get_wielded_item():get_name() local item_count = player:get_wielded_item():get_count() local item_wear = player:get_wielded_item():get_wear() minetest.chat_send_player(name, 'get info: name = '.. item_name ..', count = '.. item_count ..', wear = '.. item_wear ..'') end end, })

Or add an item, which is pointable to everything, could easily work with: on_use = { send nodename to player }

Someone already made a mod that has a tool which gets the node name, but I was thinking of a command. I think there should be some sort of minetest.get_pointed_thing()

Easiest way to find out the node name?
