As I've said before, I have a minigame pvp server. I want to make it so that when someone kills someone else they either receive money or something that can be cashed in for money or something of value to enhance fighting. I tried messing around with the death mod to add this, but all I did was crash minitest. Is it something that can be done or is it another one of those things that are to hard to do?

you could always just drop an item with minetest.register_on_dieplayer but that will drop something any time they die, not just when they are killed by another player.

That would be fine. But I tried adding some code for that but it didn't work.

Something like this should drop one dirt when the player died.

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) local pos = player:getpos() local x = math.random(0, 15)/10 - 1.25 local z = math.random(0, 15)/10 - 1.25 pos.x = pos.x + x pos.z = pos.z + z pos.y = pos.y + .25 local obj = minetest.add_item(pos, "default:dirt") if obj then obj:get_luaentity().collect = true end end )

It worked - Thanks. Now, is it possible to make a random command so sometimes they will drop something special?

I want it so it will drop the head and something else of value for fighting.

Something like 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: minetest.register_on_dieplayer( function (player) local dropItem = "" if math.random(0,5) == 1 then dropItem = "<special item>" else dropItem = "<common item>" end local pos = player:getpos() local x = math.random(0, 15)/10 - 1.25 local z = math.random(0, 15)/10 - 1.25 pos.x = pos.x + x pos.z = pos.z + z pos.y = pos.y + .25 local obj = minetest.add_item(pos, dropItem) if obj then obj:get_luaentity().collect = true end end )

That would give it roughly a 1 in 6 chance of dropping the special item, otherwise it would drop the other item

You could use my drop on die mod as a base

Let's say you want a drop of a mese block for killing someone:

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: local drop = function(pos, istack) --for i=1, istack:get_count() do local obj = minetest.env:add_item(pos, istack:get_name() .. " " .. istack:get_count()) if obj ~= nil then obj:get_luaentity().collect = true local x = math.random(1, 5) if math.random(1,2) == 1 then x = -x end local z = math.random(1, 5) if math.random(1,2) == 1 then z = -z end obj:setvelocity({x=1/x, y=5, z=1/z}) -- FIXME this doesnt work for deactiveted objects if minetest.setting_get("remove_items") and tonumber(minetest.setting_get("remove_items")) then minetest.after(tonumber(minetest.setting_get("remove_items")), function(obj) obj:remove() end, obj) end end --end end minetest.register_on_dieplayer(function(player) if minetest.setting_getbool("creative_mode") then return end local pos = player:getpos() pos.x = math.floor(pos.x+0.5) pos.y = math.floor(pos.y+0.5) pos.z = math.floor(pos.z+0.5) local param2 = minetest.dir_to_facedir(player:get_look_dir()) drop(pos, ItemStack("default:mese")) end)

If you wanted to drop a dirt as well, change

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: drop(pos, ItemStack("default:mese"))

to

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: drop(pos, ItemStack("default:mese")) drop(pos, ItemStack("default:dirt"))
