Here's a simple one
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
use_mesecons = false
function npc_spawner(pos)
minetest.env:add_entity({x=pos.x+math.random(-1,1),y=pos.y+math.random(2,3),z=pos.z+math.random(-1,1)}, "npc:npc")
end
if use_mesecons == true then
minetest.register_node("npc:npc_spawner", {
description = "Box 'O NPCs",
drawtype = "glasslike",
groups = {snappy=1,choppy=2,oddly_breakable_by_hand=2,flammable=3,wood=1},
sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(),
tiles = {"default_glass.png"},
sunlight_propagates = true,
param2 = "light",
mesecons = {effector = {
action_on = npc_spawner
}}
})
end
if use_mesecons == false then
minetest.register_node("npc:npc_spawner", {
description = "Box 'O NPCs",
drawtype = "glasslike",
groups = {snappy=1,choppy=2,oddly_breakable_by_hand=2,flammable=3,wood=1},
sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(),
tiles = {"default_glass.png"},
sunlight_propagates = true,
param2 = "light",
})
minetest.register_abm({
nodenames = {"npc:npc_spawner"},
interval = 1.0,
chance = 20,
action = function(pos)
npc_spawner(pos)
end,
})
end

Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 02:39how about the textures of the spawner??
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2012 21:40It appears that the texture is the same as default_glass. I personally use the nyancat texture - with fun results on my home server - but....
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2012 01:44i have a texture but i cant get it to be clear the clear spots are white.
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2012 20:36Use GIMP or another program that can handle PNG transparency (not Paint), select those spots and hit the delete key.
