I have a pvp server and I've installed the death mod on it, but when someone dies their armor doesn't drop. I tried copying the code and changing it for each armor slot, but all it does is duplicate the armor. why won't it work?

Please, is there anyone who can help me?

What did you download? From where?
What is the source code? What did you change in it?

I copied it and added 1 for each armor space and revised it. and tried 100 different ways. one deleted the armor. another duplicated it. and another crashed minetest! lol

https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4654 - my armor mod. It is the one that uses shields (which I don't like). lol

If you do not like shields, just delete the folder called shields

As for dropping the armor, get the player's armor inventory with and then just call drop() for each item

Isn't there a armor mod just like it with boots though? And thanks, I'll try it.

Here is what I did. It didn't work though.

minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player)

minetest.get_inventory({type="detached", name=player:get_player_name().."_armor"})

local pos = player:getpos()

for i,stack in ipairs(inv:get_list("_armor")) do

local x = math.random(0, 6)/3

local z = math.random(0, 6)/3

pos.x = pos.x + x

pos.z = pos.z + z

minetest.env:add_item(pos, stack)

stack:clear()

inv:set_stack("detached", i, stack)

pos.x = pos.x - x

pos.z = pos.z - z

end

end)

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_dieplayer(function(player)
   
minetest.get_inventory({type="detached", name=player:get_player_name().."_armor"})
   
    local pos = player:getpos()
   
    for i,stack in ipairs(inv:get_list("_armor")) do
       
        local x = math.random(0, 6)/3
       
        local z = math.random(0, 6)/3
       
        pos.x = pos.x + x
       
        pos.z = pos.z + z
       
        minetest.env:add_item(pos, stack)
       
        stack:clear()
       
        inv:set_stack("detached", i, stack)
       
        pos.x = pos.x - x
       
        pos.z = pos.z - z
   
    end

end)


Firstly, please use the code tags. when you are writing a post, between the " and the email button, there is a <> button. this is for code.



note the code around the for loop

17:22:19: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...sr/share/minetest/games/MiniTest/mods/death/init.lua:56: attempt to index global 'inv' (a nil value)
17:22:19: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:

I got this when I died.

Sorry, didn't notice,

should be changed to


that error is because you didn't set the local variable inv

21:40:38: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...sr/share/minetest/games/MiniTest/mods/death/init.lua:56: attempt to index local 'inv' (a nil value)

I got this error now.

I tried tweaking it but to no avail. Still it has a local 'inv' nil value.

Can someone help please. I don't know where minermoder27 went and I not sure what is wrong.

(Sorry for going offline so long)

What line is line 56? could you please upload the entire file, as there is no line 56. Also, it this the bottom-most piece of code in the file, or could is be changing something that then makes some code below it fail?

So yours is the last paragraph in the list.

For some reason the code thing didn't work. I tried it with this.

get_list = stack? I don't get it.

I don't know. minermoder17 programmed it. Do you know how to fix it?

I have just added support for the bones mod, maybe this can help you.

#2786a81

Not to be mean, but I don't like the bones mod. I like it to be more like MC and drop stuff when you die. If you did that are you able to fix the error I'm getting?

Does anyone know how to fix this error?

Which error?

This one:

21:40:38: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: error: ...sr/share/minetest/games/MiniTest/mods/death/init.lua:56: attempt to index local 'inv' (a nil value)
21:40:38: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:

It is in the armor drop section.

I couldn't figure out how to fix this error. Could someone help me please?

This is a good idea... Armor lasts ages... Will be good to have it drop when you die.

Even better if it gets pulverizes when you die

Any chance of that happening?

It is better dropping than being pulverized because the player who killed you can then get the armor and use it.
