Correct me if I'm wrong, but this node registry should work, right?



It's (obviously) the default:rail registry. With paramtype2 = "wallmounted" added. I know I'm wrong but in all logic that means that sh*t can go on a wall! Lol. Ever since I found the "carts" mod, I have want to stick the rail on the wall to make elevators. It would be PERFECT for mesecons. I'm starting to realize that can't be done.

P.S. I did change it from default:rail to elevator:shaft. In case you thought that would be a problem.

If you look at how ladders are registered you need to use the signlike drawtype instead of the raillike.

I just wish I could figure it out. I want an elevator. The only one I can find is more of a grav-lift, and that's not what I wanted.

these rails won't work because they don't have rail group

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_node("default:rail", {
    description = "Rail",
    drawtype = "raillike",
    tiles = {"default_rail.png", "default_rail_curved.png", "default_rail_t_junction.png", "default_rail_crossing.png"},
    inventory_image = "default_rail.png",
    wield_image = "default_rail.png",
    paramtype = "light",
    paramtype2 = "wallmounted",
    is_ground_content = true,
    walkable = false,
    selection_box = {
        type = "fixed",
                -- but how to specify the dimensions for curved and sideways rails?
                fixed = {-1/2, -1/2, -1/2, 1/2, -1/2+1/16, 1/2},
    },
    groups = {bendy=2,snappy=1,dig_immediate=2,attached_node=1},
})

So the bottom line would be "groups = {rail=1,bendy=2.....etc?"

Yes. However, you would need to also modify carts for them to go vertically.

An idea: it would probably be possible to make a new group called "lift" or similar, and change the carts mod to lift carts when they hit a node in that group.

I will try, but I'm new to modding/coding. It will be a while before I can do something of this scale.
