Is there a way to place a node and it places a schematic file. Doesn't matter if it is a .we or .mts
Also, is there a way to use on_punch to place or replace a schematic

yes, shure.

just have a look into my gates mod. it does something like you want.
partial code of gates mod:

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 function open_gate(pos) --local start_time = os.clock() local meta = minetest.get_meta(pos); if meta:get_string("state") == "closed" then -- only open the gate if its closed local pos1 = minetest.string_to_pos(meta:get_string("pos1")) local pos2 = minetest.string_to_pos(meta:get_string("pos2")) minetest.create_schematic(pos1, pos2,{}, savedir..minetest.pos_to_string(pos).."_closed.schematic")--save the closed gate before opening minetest.place_schematic(pos1, savedir..minetest.pos_to_string(pos).."_opend.schematic", nil, nil, true) meta:set_string("state","opend"); meta:set_string("infotext","opend"); minetest.swap_node(pos, {name="gates:controler_opend"}) end --local end_time = os.clock() --elapsed_time = end_time-start_time --print('start time: ' .. start_time .. 's') --print('end time: ' .. end_time .. 's') --print('time elapsed: ' .. elapsed_time .. 's') end local function toggle(pos) local meta = minetest.get_meta(pos); if meta:get_string("state") == "opend" then close_gate(pos); return "closed" else open_gate(pos); return "opend" end end local function punched(pos, node, puncher, pointed_thing) --print(schematic_exists(pos,"closed"),schematic_exists(pos,"opend")) local playername = puncher:get_player_name() if schematic_exists(pos,"closed") and schematic_exists(pos,"opend") then local status = toggle(pos); if status == "opend" then minetest.chat_send_player(playername, "Gate Opened") elseif status == "closed" then minetest.chat_send_player(playername, "Gate Closed") else minetest.chat_send_player(playername, "ERROR: Unknown state of Gate") end end end minetest.register_node("gates:controler",{ description ="Gate controller", tiles = {"gates_bg.png","gates_bg.png","gates_bg.png^gates_unknown.png"}, groups = {oddly_breakable_by_hand = 1}, after_place_node = placed, on_receive_fields =submitted, on_punch = punched })

OT: i dont know how you will place a *.mts file in a minetest world since its avchd a video file :-P
so please call your file not *.mts, call it *.shemtic or *.mtsheme or...

You should check out DeployNodes by cornernote
its not new but it still works and there are plenty of examples to study from

Also Maze by echo and HedgeMaze by thefamilygrog66
both kinda similar and both still work

My apartments mod uses .mts files for placing schematics. Just give yourshelf an apartment:build_chest, place it in the world, and spawn any schematic you like and which you have placed in the mod's schems/ folder. It also takes care of orientation and will spawn the building rotated according to the building spawner's facedir.
The mod can be found via the link in my signature.

Thanks. I am busy over the holidays but hope to work on my mods lots in January.

Here is a quick example of a node, when placed that loads a schematic file:

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: -- Schematic Block minetest.register_node("test:schemblock", { description = "Schematic Block", tiles = {"default_grass.png"}, groups = {crumbly=3}, on_construct = function(pos) -- Remove Schematic Block minetest.remove_node(pos) -- Define Schematic File local schem = minetest.get_modpath("test").."/schems/build1.mts" -- Define Placecment Coords local spos = {x=pos.x-3,y=pos.y,z=pos.z-3} -- Place Schematic minetest.place_schematic(spos,schem,"0",{},false) end, })

Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
