How do you get the drawtype of a node?
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 21:19I'm trying to figure out some code that finds the drawtype of a node. How would I go about doing this?

Yes you can find the drawtype of a node; everything given to minetest.register_node is put into the minetest.registered_nodes table.
Thus: (not tested)

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 function get_node_drawtype(nodename)
if not minetest.registered_nodes[nodename] then
return ""
end
return minetest.registered_nodes[nodename].drawtype
end

Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 05:29Sorry, I didn't know that. Could you add some information about this to the lua_api.txt (if there is none yet)? Like "you can acces the information in a node simply by writing node.*.
Once Iw tried to get e.g. the texture of a node, back then it didn't work at all.
