You stole my idea))) Well, so Cool

no i didn't lol..but thank you

[dannydark]

What about making it randomise the paintings i.e. have one craft recipe (maybe paper surrounded by sticks) which when placed will pick a random painting to display.

In fact I think thats how Minecraft does it not sure though as I haven't played it too much, doing this would mean people would only need to know one recipe rather than loads (depending on how many paintings get added)

[jordan4ibanez]

what would that craft recipe be? if you would like to tell me that is

[IPushButton2653]

I could make random paintings and add them to mod?

[jordan4ibanez]

yes you can, that is what i would hope people will do..there is only one thing though..try to keep the "frame" of the painting texture ..the texture is 64x64

[RAPHAEL]

Niice paintings there considering how small they are. Good idea.

[dannydark]

I was thinking the recipe should be just Paper surrounded by Sticks i.e.

P = Paper, S = Sticks
S S S
S P S
S S S

[IPushButton2653]

I'll just take ones you made, and then change the design, so much simpler :P

What about a colored paper mod? And the color of the paper determins the painting?

[jordan4ibanez]

I was thinking the recipe should be just Paper surrounded by Sticks i.e.

P = Paper, S = Sticks
S S S
S P S
S S S

good idea..now i need to figure out how to make lua randomly choose

[Menche]

I think it would be nice to be able to choose the painting, rather than having it random. Repeatedly breaking/placing paintings to try to get the desired picture in minecraft was a bit annoying.

[dannydark]

Like I said I haven't played too much of Minecraft so not sure how that worked, I just think it would be hard to have to find a nyan cat just for a painting.

If the painting was not to be random my next vote would go to IPushButton2653's idea for coloured paper determining the painting, That at least would be more feasible to do than having to find a nyan cat ^_^

[jordan4ibanez]

i am currently trying to devise a code to make paintings random and it is extremely difficult for a noob like me

[IPushButton2653]

I hope to see it working soon, I was busy implementing stuff into my parkour course ^^

[jordan4ibanez]

yes...but would anyone care to help me..when i place down the "blank" canvas it instantly crashes the game...here is the code:

local i=math.random(1,3)

minetest.register_on_placenode(function(pos, newnode, placer)

if newnode.name == "paintings:paintingbase" then

if painting:put_down_base(pos) then


if i==1 then

--minetest.env:remove_node(pos, {name="paintings:paintingbase"})

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting1"})

end

if i==2 then

--minetest.env:remove_node(pos, {name="paintings:paintingbase"})

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting2"})

end

if i==3 then

--minetest.env:remove_node(pos, {name="paintings:paintingbase"})

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting3"})

end
end
end
end)

[IPushButton2653]

I think the i== should be something like i?=, but I don't know what the "?" should be.......

[jordan4ibanez]

no..i've fixed it..UPDATE: paintings will now choose randomly..BUT i have not uploaded this version as there are 2 bugs..
1.) when placed...the collisionbox and draw face will randomly change places
2.) AS I SAID..it will choose randomly..but apparently "it will stop when you enter your world?" i believe

[xyz]

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting"..i}) is definetly better

[jordan4ibanez]

this is the new randomizer code:

local i=math.random(3)

minetest.register_on_placenode(function(pos, newnode, placer)

if newnode.name == "paintings:paintingbase" then

if minetest.env:remove_node(pos) then


if i==1 then

--minetest.env:remove_node(pos, {name="paintings:paintingbase"})

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting1"})

end

if i==2 then

--minetest.env:remove_node(pos, {name="paintings:paintingbase"})

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting2"})

end

if i==3 then

--minetest.env:remove_node(pos, {name="paintings:paintingbase"})

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting3"})

end
end
end
end)

[jordan4ibanez]

minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting"..i}) is definetly better

tried that..wouldnt work..im looking for a work around which gathers the last "placed" position of the node..should be easy

[jordan4ibanez]

sfan go into crabs server i need to ask you something

[sfan5]

wait a second!

[jordan4ibanez]

okay sir

[xyz]

lol, your mistake is in another place

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_on_placenode(function(pos, newnode, placer)
if newnode.name == "paintings:paintingbase" then
local i=math.random(3)
minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="paintings:painting"..i, param2 = newnode.param2})
end
end


Try this

thank you sfan 5 for helping me with the node2 thing and cleaning and fixing up code...and thank you jeija for helping me with knowing what function i needed for the randomizer

It's param2 not node2
