OK, I have an idea, but I need to know if this will work.

Can you have both of these lines at once, or no?

is_ground_content = true

AND

legacy_wallmounted = true

Or, is there a way to combine the two.

Neither of those options is useful these days. What are you trying to accomplish?

Putting the "carts" mod tracks vertical for elevators. I thought it would be as simple as changing/adding those. I guess not. Lol.

Also, I know that you know code, do you know why I would get this

From this.

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: --Rope Fence Mod by Tedypig, Licence WTFPL (Textures+Code), Edit how you want. minetest.register_node ('rope_fence:rope_fence', { discription "Adds a rope fence to your game.", drawtype= 'fencelike', tile_images {rope_fence.png, rope_fence_top.png, rope_fence_side.png}, inventory_image {rope_fence.png}, sunlight_propagates = true, paramtype = 'light', walkable = false, material = minetest.digprop_constanttime(1.0), groups = {snappy=2,cracky=3,oddly_breakable_by_hand=3,}, }) minetest.register_craft ({ output='rope_fence:rope_fence', recipe= { {'default:stick','','default:stick'}, {'default_stick','','default:stick'}, {'default:stick','','default:stick'}, } })

EDIT: Or anyone for that matter? My girlfriend wants effing beach like rope fences, so I'm trying.

You misspelled "description"

That and also...

Tedypig wrote:discription "Adds a rope fence to your game.",

you forgot the '='.
Edit: Also, the "description" is a descriptive name for the node; *NOT* the mod description.

LMFAO! I had already fixed the description typo, I stared at that code for 20 minutes and did not see the damn = was missing. Thank you. I Also didn't specify which images to go where so it looked effed up. Thanks again. I WILL GET BETTER. I am sorry for asking so many questions.

EDIT: And how do I do that? Lol.

Note that in Lua, an identifier followed by a string literal is a shortcut for calling a function with the string as the only argument. Why the heck the developers of the language thought that was a good idea is WAY beyond me. Maybe they decided to import some random ideas from Perl or something. :-/
