I have been looking at trying to make a mod to add sound to when you get hurt and when you die.
But I can't seem to figure out how the api's minetest.sound_play minetest.register_on_dieplayer structure works. Let alone how to use them together. Also I don't see an api for when you get hurt. Could someone explain what the different parts of the register on dieplayer are and do that would be nice. And she same for the sound play.

Thanks Microsuperman

Look at the drowning or hunger mod. Everything you need is done there.

Well with the hunger and drowning they way they play a sound is by having it created damage with a sound added too it.

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 player:get_hp() > 0 then player:set_hp(player:get_hp() - DROWNING_DAMAGE) pos = player:getpos() pos.y=pos.y+1 minetest.sound_play({name="drowning_gurp"}, {pos = pos, gain = 1.0, max_hear_distance = 16})

This is a good work around for something that is missing from the API, but I do wonder how you would add it to something like falling. I could see this work around working for getting hit by a mod that you have created.

The deathsound mod was exactly what I was looking to do.
I think I made an improvement for its code changing it from

Code: Select all: minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player) local pname = player:getpos() minetest.sound_play({name="ds_hurt"}, {pos = pname, gain = 0.5, max_hear_distance = 8}) end)

but I am not sure if max_hear_distance still applies when using to_player.

actually, if i'm understanding this correctly, the original code is made so everyone hears when you die. your, however, makes that only player who died hears it. am i correct?

to_player needs a value:

Well I was playing around with death sound. I have found that using the code

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.sound_play({name="ds_hurt"}, {pos = pname, gain = 0.5, max_hear_distance = 8})

or

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.sound_play({name="ds_hurt"}, {pos, gain = .25})

no matter how far you are from each other when you die. It plays the sound as if you are right next to each other.
The code

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.sound_play({name="ds_hurt"}, {to_player=player:get_player_name(), gain = 0.5, max_hear_distance = 8})

only plays to the dead person. So I think max_hear_distance is not needed.
So here is a rewrite that only plays the sound to the player that died. But broadcast to all the location of their death.

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 precision = 10^2 --rounds to the hundredths place. minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player) pos = player:getpos() pos.x = math.floor(pos.x * precision + .5) / precision --rounds to hundredths place. pos.y = math.floor(pos.y * precision + .5) / precision pos.z = math.floor(pos.z * precision + .5) / precision minetest.chat_send_all("player ".. player:get_player_name() .." has died at location: ".. minetest.pos_to_string(pos)) minetest.sound_play({name="ds_hurt"}, {to_player=player:get_player_name(), gain = 1}) end)

Hope you like it.

you sure about broadcasting? if it's used with bones mod or any other drop-inventory mod, it's just a bit unfair. don't you think?

I did it that way, because the sound is all or only you. but it can it easily be changed or commented out. You also could use minetest.get_modnames to see if the mod bones is install. If it is then just if over it. But if you were doing a coop or something like that. it could be of use. It would also be nice if there was a way to tell what killed you. like lava, fire, mob, player, etc...
side note: I did find that if you -3 for pos.y you can use minetest.env:get_node(pos).name to find out what you were standing on when you died.
