How far do the lasers go?

Cool, there should be a laser detector

It can't load and run bobblocks, even if i rename it!

What should it do?
Enable a mesecons wire.
You can use minetest.get_modpath(modname) to check to see if mesecons is installed.

New version:— vertical lasers added
— textures rotated
— more colours (except white, actually this isn't a colour) added

yes, and there should be mirrors, too

I won't add mirrors without reflections and they aren't possible yet. Maybe I'll add a laser detector.
All a mirror would need to do is when a laser beam hits it, send another laser beam at a 90 degree angle.

Great ! Looking forward to the laser detector, if possible, make entities (especially players) don't let the laser go through them, but that may be hard
By the way you should add mesecons to depends in your post since it now needs mesecons power.

I could do it but it would cause big lags and it wouldn't work in the right time.

good idea.
Only checking for players wouldn't be that laggy on small servers or singleplayer if you use a globalstep.
EDIT: maybe update the laser with an abm so when you dig in front of it you don't have to restart the mesecons signal

At first my laser was flammable (yes, the tree burned down):
The wool was flammable so you'll not see this again:
The nodebox looks like the shot particles of wz2100:
I changed this texture later to 1x

This is not my bug! It's from bobblocks!:
I didn't know that there are 2 caves...:
Here 2 lasers are crossing:
Vertical lasers added:
+100 on a scale of 1 to 10

The laser detector will make both this mod and mesecons more fun to play with.

If it isn't a modpack you'll need to rename it. In this case from
laser_master to
laser.
A check is looking in the init.lua, for example:
minetest.register_node("
laser:detector", {

+1 This is really cool. For long distances i will use the lasers instead of mesecons.
+1 And they look pretty as decoration.
+1 When i'm far from home i just have to look for lasers pointing up.
Why can't lasers cross path? I understand that that would mean much more nodes as you have to make a crossed laser section for every color crossing with another color. Why not make it work with the similar colored lasers? Or you could make a very bright shining light node and place that in the laser intersections and let the lasers continue.
Anyways, +3, i like this mod!

Actually you can only see the lasers because of the fog in minetest...
I don't understand.
Some less wanted features:- Lasers should continue when node that interrupted the laser is removed.
- If interrupting node is a bobblock it removes the similar color laser completely!
- And what if you have two different colors lasers pointing towards each other?
I am trying to fix some of these unwanted features

It's possible you didn't enable the (most up to date) dependencies:
- Jeija's mesecons:
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?pid=4785#p4785- RabbiBob's bobblocks:
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=1274Else you"ll need to paste the ERROR here in a post to help you.
Exit minetest. Delete the debug.txt file. Start minetest, start the game with lasers in it. End the game and exit minetest. Open debug.txt. Copy the all the ERROR lines and paste them here.

New version:
— voxel manipulation is used → faster
— minetest.after is used, too → the signal is sent before the laser is shown
— nodes are allowed to define functions which get executed if a laser touches them or disappears next to them
— adding mirrors should be possible now

Hello,
I'm novice to minetest. I have tested your mods but i have this error.
"G:\Minetest\minetest-0.4.9\bin\..\mods\laser\init.lua:186: attempt to call method 'get_param2_data' (a nil value)"
1. Place a mese block
2. Add a bobblock next to it
3. Let the bob block, then the mese block, get mesecons energy
Can you explain part 3, what's " mesecons energy " ? I can't find it in mesecon objects , what's it's name exactly. I have put a switch and when i put it on, i have this error.
This is a screenshot of my structure .

With "mesecons energy" I mean just a mesecons signal.
I think if the error message appears, the laser would be created.
It looks like this mod requires the newest minetest (0.4.9-dev).
I think
here you can download the newest version for windows and for linux you can get it
here (ubuntu/mint) and
here (Arch linux)Sorry, I didn't knew that and didn't look for it and so I didn't mention it yet.

Hello,
My minetest version is 0.4.9 for windows.
I'm novice in minetest and you have many mesecon objects. I'm not sure for switch for mesecon signal.
My structure with 1 ) "mese block", 2 ) "bobblock" and 3) switch for mesecon signal is correct or no ?
Thanks

here's an example of a structure which should create a "laser"
to use this mod you need
minetest 0.4.9-dev, I think.
