Im trying to make a mod where you can craft a block that moves on its own when set down on the ground
Its loading Now But what do i need to change to make it move on its own?

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_abm("movingblock:block", { movement = {default_gen=movement_gen, min_accel=0.4, max_accel=0.6, max_speed=2, pattern="run", } }) minetest.register_node("movingblock:movingblock", { description = "moving block", tiles = {"block.png"}, is_ground_content = true, groups = {cracky=1}, }) minetest.register_craft({ output = 'movingblock:block 3', recipe = { {'default:stick', 'default:stick', 'default:stick'}, } }) print ("MoViNg_BlOcK mod loaded")

Here is what i started:

I think someone has done a mod that adds moving blocks. Just to prove a point. Why don't you check that out sometime? And you can submit your code to codepad.org and select LUA and it can check for errors

why do you want to make a block that can move? I tried it once for my monster mod, in the end it becomes a node eater. and yes it moves.

just use minetest.register_abm

Is this how the code should look like:

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_abm("movingblock:block", { movement = {default_gen=movement_gen, min_accel=0.4, max_accel=0.6, max_speed=2, pattern="run", } }) minetest.register_node("movingblock:movingblock", { description = "moving block", tiles = {"block.png"}, is_ground_content = true, groups = {cracky=1}, } }) minetest.register_craft({ output = 'movingblock:block 3', recipe = { {'default:stick', 'default:stick', 'default:stick'}, } }) print ("MoViNg_BlOcK mod loaded")

But its wont load it says something is wrong with line 10 and when it does load it sayd unknown Item

You have an extra curly brace:

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: groups = {cracky=1}, } })

Remove the second to last line in that selection. Consider using a text editor with syntax-highlighting, it makes catching those errors easier.

And I was making a mod for blocks that can be pushed, maybe look at my code? http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2464

thnx for telling me the error but in\m trying to make my block move on its own

Do you realy want a block or do you want a object (much better animation). Objects can move free but blocks can only move 1 block steps.

Something like this (not testet):

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_abm({ nodenames = {"move:movingblock"}, interval = 1, chance = 1, action = function(pos, node) minetest.env:remove_node(pos) pos.x = pos.x + 1 minetest.env:set_node(pos, node) end })

This will move the block in x+ direction. (Every block in the way will be destroyed so maybe you should check if theres air or a block.)
