How about a version of this for falling?

That would be *very* difficult to do (if not plain impossible) in the current scheme of things.
Once minetest has an API to determine what caused damage to player, these things will be trivial to make.

That's what I was thinking. It'd be really nice if we got a LOT more control over the damage system. It was a neat idea to unify damage with the digging of blocks, but it absolutely cripples a ton of extensibility possibilities that we'd otherwise have at our fingertips from Lua. It would probably have been better to go the OTHER way and give each node a HP rating. That would be more useful than param1 and param2, and nodes have those....

Also, from a performance POV it might work better to use minetest.after() instead of an ABM. There are bound to be a lot fewer players than there are blocks of lava. So iterate over all the connected players and test whether there is lava at their current position (or the block above for the head); if so, apply damage to them. Or better yet, instead of testing for just lava, introduce a new GROUP for DPS that can be handled from Lua instead of the core engine. Then add a callback function registration system for the mod....

The Lava Suit in survival_modpack already implements something similar to what PilzAdam suggested (overrides the lava nodes, but uses a timer similar than that for the oxygen instead of an ABM).
This mod is gone now. Moderators feel free to close this topic.
Thank you for your comments :)
