Armor drop on death

[rubenwardy]

This is a good idea... Armor lasts ages... Will be good to have it drop when you die.

Even better if it gets pulverizes when you die

Any chance of that happening?

Don't post like that! Use you edit button, right there under the post.

Ah OK... The only thing is I thought people could see the edit... Prefered if they couldn't which was why i just used more posts... sorry

[Achilles]

It is better dropping than being pulverized because the player who killed you can then get the armor and use it.

I know... but it would be more realistic if the armor was destroyed, unless you could have an object that would repair the armor, so that it can be used after you kill someone...

I am currently working on some updates for my armor mod, including support for unified inventory and the new unified skins,
I also plan to make armor a lot more configurable and will make item drop on die an option.

So you're best just waiting another day or two, I am hoping to get all this done over the weekend.

btw, you might have got my attention sooner if you had posted this on the 3d_armor modpack topic ;-)

stu, if you're up to making armor be dropped on_death, make it configurable, please :)

[stu]

The current git master of minetest-3d_armor now supports armor drop on death.
For items to physically drop requires that you do not use the bones mod.
Please report any problems in the the 3d_armor mod topic, not here.

stu, if you're up to making armor be dropped on_death, make it configurable, please :)

This is configurable but defaults to true, which to me makes sense now that bones are part of minetest_game.

Great, I'll try it

[Achilles]

Same here :)

well, I tried it but I didn't want to remove the older armor mod that I liked so much and have revised to be so nice. So I tried to take the drop armor code from it and it didn't work. Could you post code that we could add to the death(or dropondie) mod that would work?

This is untested but should give you an idea, best I can do as I no longer have a working installation of the old version.

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_on_dieplayer(function(player)
    local name = player:get_player_name()
    local pos = player:getpos()
    if name and pos then
        local player_inv = player:get_inventory()
        local armor_inv = minetest.get_inventory({type="detached", name=name.."_armor"})
        for _,v in ipairs(armor.elements) do
            local stack = armor_inv:get_stack("armor"..v, 1)
            if stack:get_count() > 0 then
                armor_inv:set_stack("armor"..v, 1, nil)
                player_inv:set_stack("armor"..v, 1, nil)
                local obj = minetest.add_item(pos, stack)
                if obj then
                    local x = math.random(1, 5)
                    if math.random(1,2) == 1 then
                        x = -x
                    end
                    local z = math.random(1, 5)
                    if math.random(1,2) == 1 then
                        z = -z
                    end
                    obj:setvelocity({x=1/x, y=obj:getvelocity().y, z=1/z})
                end
            end
        end
        armor:set_player_armor(player)
    end
end)

If you insist on putting the code your 'death' mod then it will need to depend on 3d_armor to ensure that the armor api is loaded first.
Better to just put the code at the end of armor.lua

Now this error:

What did you do, depend or move the code? I am not a mind reader, there is no line 570 in my copy of 3d_armor/init.lua

Edit: I fired my crystal ball, it says that you should remove the code from init.lua and put it at the end of armor.lua like I told you.

[mcfan]

There is no armor.lua . There is a armor_api.lua though.

[mcfan]

I have a older version for this though(P.S. I like the older version better) and I've revised it soo much where I don't want to have to make the changes again.

I must send that ball off to the polisher, clearly you are using an ancient version, you could try replacing
armor.elements with {"head", "torso", "legs", "shield"} (braces included).

P.S. What is it about the older version you like better?

[mcfan]

Ok. Well I might be updating to your new version now. Our server just had a terrible glitch and was ruined.
I had made enchanted diamond armor and everything for it. I wish that you would also keep a version with boots and without the shields- a MC like version

I strongly recommend that you do use the latest version for minetest-0.4.9, if you do not want shields then simply remove the shields mod from the modpack (delete the shields folder). Armor definitions are unchanged so you should easily be able to incorporate any customizations you might have made to the old version. If you want it to look more like minecraft then I would suggest you try the crafting mod by BlockMen (requires version 2.0.1)

Edit: Not entirely accurate, some armor definitions have changed but the way in which armor is defined has not (added for clarity)
