i copy and pasted this code from

http://rubenwardy.com/minetest_modding_book/chapters/inventories.html

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 stack = ItemStack("default:coal_lump 99") local leftover = ninv:add_item("main", stack)

however it doesnt work but this code in a function...

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: setstackcount = function(pos, invin, name, count) local inv = minetest.get_meta(pos):get_inventory() local found = tbmroad.getstackcount(pos, name) + count local numberofstacks = math.floor(found / 99) local laststacksize = found % 99 local h = 0 for h = 1, numberofstacks do inv:add_item(invin, name.." 99") end inv:add_item(invin, name.." "..laststacksize) end

does work...i have been staring at it now for a few hours and at the root of things i see no difference .. so why does the first one not work and the second one does?

Start by defining "doesn't work".

Does it cause an error? Hasn't the expected result? Formats your hard drive? Other?

ninv isn't defined, is that the problem?

if we are going by error then there isnt a problem, the first code doesnt add an item to the inventory. and ninv is defined in the code so that is not the error.

the function was in the mod when i got a hold of it . in fact it is the only surviving code from the original mod. this is because up until this point i didnt really care about managing the inventory, now i am to the point where i need to add and subtract things from inventories and move objects from one inventory to another.
