How to replace default torch by model in .x format?

How to replace default torch by model in .x format?

There is currently no drawtype for nodes to use a mesh. RealBadAngel is working on it.

Is there a way to automatically rotate an object placed on the ground? In the same way in which a wheel block dropped from the inventory, without using function "on_step".

[Likwid H-Craft]

Hey Adam is there a way, to make the Survival Mode Inventory size different like creative mode how it in a the mod area? since I can't find The survival inventory anywhere and I liked change it just for one game mode, since I liked you only can hold 8 things.

Is it possible to only have one of a certain type of node generate in the entire map?

How to replace default torch by model in .x format?

you can't but you can use nodeboxes to make torches 3D, like the ones in 3d furniture

edit, you can add this to the code, don't replace the code for the torches that is already there.

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(':default:torch', {
    description =("Torch"),
    drawtype = "nodebox",
tiles = {
        {name="default_torch_on_floor_animated.png", animation={type="vertical_frames", aspect_w=16, aspect_h=16, length=3.0}},
        selection_box = {
                type = "fixed",
                fixed = { -1/16, -0.5, -1/16, 1/16, 5/32, 1/16 }
        },
        node_box = {
                type = "fixed",
                fixed = { -1/16, -0.5, -1/16, 1/16, 5/32, 1/16 }
        },

    sunlight_propagates = true,
    paramtype = "light",
})

How to check if a node has "on_rightclick"?

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

local node = minetest.env:get_node(pointed_thing.under)
if node.on_rightclick ~= nil then
    -- something
end


Is not working. I guess because the function returns nothing.

Neither of your questions is possible.

[Likwid H-Craft]

So never? or maybe in later builds we can?

[ch98]

[Likwid H-Craft]

Is it also possible to make player glow? It might work that way.

It is indeed possible. Take a look at the technic mod and add my chainsaw modifications to it.

Likwid H-Craft, The walking light mod have a code similar of this description, but cause some delay when is operating...

Franz, the timber mod is doing it, and now the technic to.

[ShadowNinja]

No.

Actualy it is possible, as long as they all have a modpack.txt(I use this feature for organization).

[Traxie21]

It is also possible to have a mod turn into a modpack. That is how my AutoUpdater mod works.

[pandaro]

I tried to do something with minetest.register_on_joinplayer:

minetest.register_on_joinplayer(function(player)
print("hello")
minetest.env:place_node(player:getpos(),{name="default:stone"})

end)

is correctly printed "hello",but the node is not placed
What's wrong?
