I'm making a mod with jordan4ibanez, and I need help to check when an item is dropped. This means dropped and on the ground, not dropping. This is crucial.
Any ideas on how to implement this?

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: if minetest.registered_nodes[nn].walkable then if self.physical_state then self.object:setvelocity({x=0,y=0,z=0}) self.object:setacceleration({x=0, y=0, z=0}) self.physical_state = false self.object:set_properties({ physical = false }) end else

This is in builtin/item_entity.lua
I suppose everything in this if clause is executed if an item is on the ground. What do you want to do?
If you want to make the item kinda "fly" to you when walking next to it, I already tried it. I can give you some advice.

yeah, like in minecraft. We have an outer circle that makes the item fly to you, and an inner circle that adds it to your inventory.
