Hello,
I'd like to place a block with the API. I read, that i need something like set_node(). But what do the params of set_node look like? The block is a nodebox, so it needs to "facedir".
Here's all code i currently have:

http://dev.minetest.net/Main_Page
Sorry, but first look for yourself.

Well, i had some trouble the the add_node() function. But now I found an explanation at the Developer Wiki. Thanks Adam! :)

Well, but i crashes:



Message:

ServerError: LuaError: error: ...t-0.4.4-win32\bin\..\mods\minetest\streets/nodes.lua:231: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'y' (a nil value)

Why is "pos.y" a nil value?

Your parameter for on_place are wrong: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt#L1391

Thanks :)

Finally it works:

How can i access the inventory of the placer? The dev wiki says

get_size("listname")

My code:



Error:

bad argument #1 to "get_size" userdata expected, got string

o.O

use inventory:get_size("main"). note the :

From the Lua Manual (section 2.5.8 Function Calls):

A call v:name(args) is syntactic sugar for v.name(v,args), except that v is evaluated only once.

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

function (itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
     (...)
     itemstack:take_item(1)
end


not work?
