Improve your base defense with wood and iron spikes around.

This mod adds two types of spikes which can be placed for defence purpose. Iron spikes has less chance to broke and spikes from wood is cheaper to build.

i don't want to walk on them :)

Nice. Would it be possible to attach them to wall and ceiling, not just floor, and have them rotate accordingly (i.e. point horizontally, or downwards)?

yeah nice idea, maybe with slabs API.....

I guess attaching spikes with different angles would be doable (I will give some time to investigate mentioned slaps api or existing mods how they implementing it). However the main problem would be with collision detection. Currently get_objects_inside_radius is used which is not actual collision check but rather if objects position is in range (at least what I learn from testing locally). So player which is around 2 block height would not trigger spike if spike is 1 block above ground because player position is at foot level. This functionality could be workaround by calculating offsets, but then it would misbehave for entities which are different size.

It would be simpler if I could just use damage_per_second on node, but it seems only working for players so I use punch instead.

There's some work by me to make the player get hurt even if head is inside the node, so I'd encourage you to use `damage_per_second` as that will be the final solution.

If you make your nodes `paramtype2 = "wallmounted" then they can be placed on walls, ceiling and floor. "facedir" also works.

Thanks, I will keep in mind. If `damage_per_second` will also work for mobs I would gladly replace punch mechanism.

I created a different texture for iron spike. Can you put it on the ceiling, wall and floor. Other textures are original.

Sorry, for my english :(

tey rae funny! but they looks more like blades than spixes :)

:) Yes. I killing hostile mobs with this spikes = mob trap. I get some interesting things.

Wait, they kill mobs? Do they? Then i'm downloadin' dis! :)

Hi, nirasa
Thanks for trying mod and feedback! Currently fort spikes are designed to work only placed on ground because it's easiest way to calculate collisions. Last time I checked `damage_per_second` does not worked for mobs so I stick with punch mechanism. I plan to update once MT `damage_per_second` will be improved.

I also intentionally restricted placing it to one on another for damage balance reason. I trying keep default textures which meets Minetest default texture theme. Your textures are good, but as other mentioned it would better fit other trap type.

If default mod texture does not meet your world theme I would recommend override textures (put together with your custom texture pack). Do not forget that even iron spikes sometimes broke, so you need also broken spike texture variation.

Ok, broken spike texture could look like this (???):



I agree with your idea - combination of these two textures - yours and mine.

they look great!
can you crunch them a bit on the top?

My old computer broke down (8 years old) and I have made new. I continue to textures for fort_spikes :-)

??crunch?? I am not so good at english what do you mean? On all sides? Ok.

Broke them a bit vertically i mean to make them look sharpier.



EDIT: like this!

azekill_DIABLO wrote:Broke them a bit vertically i mean to make them look sharpier.

Aha. OK. I make textures on 32px, but Minetest is 16px, it is problem... Yes? I can make it fix.

no it's not a problem :D



You can use them if you want, just mention that i modified them.
