Killing a player

[Wuzzy]

How do I reliably (!) kill a player?

I already tried 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

player:set_hp(0)

But this only works if damage is enabled. If the damage is disabled, the player won’t die.

I don't think it's even possible to kill a player if damage is disabled, that's the point.

You can only kick them or teleport them to the spawn point.

Definte "kill", anyway. ;-)

Perhaps setup another trigger for the death formspec (and the falling over), such as a command?

maybe teleport him into lava?

the player could teleport to home or spawn before he dies and if damage is disabled...

or create a block like the MEZE mod, which kill anyone which tuchs it.

With damage disabled, it's not possible...

EDIT: Or make them leave (see my sig)

i think the meze mod checks if you have damage [on] or [off]

maybe when deleting this it would work....

will try this!

You have to hack the minetest core to do it :-)

Because it is disabled inside the damage system, so nothing can add or set damage on the players.

[DS-minetest]

You could delete the player object.
Its like a kick.

disable player physics, disallow movement and put player in a location where they can't do anything? (e.g. y=-32766) that wouldn't make them dead, but they wouldn't be able to do much.

I'd argue it's a bug that there isn't a method directly to do this.
