how can i make a furnace with two slots for items to smelt?

[durtective6]

For my mod techno i would like to make a furnace like technics alloy furnace but have no idea how. Ive made one with the mod crafter but it keeps giving me this error whenever i put things in the fourth slot:

16:19:25: ERROR[main]: ServerError: LuaError: ...8-win32-msvc\minetest-0.4.8\bin\..\mods\crafter\init.lua:91: attempt to index a nil value
16:19:25: ERROR[main]: stack traceback:

Anyway back to the subject, how can i make a furnace with two slots to put smeltable items in, probably to combine them (one slot above the other)?

you need to extend the "src" list, mostly in 'on_constructing' or 'after_place_node'
it's something like this: (and re-place node after the 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

local inv = meta:get_inventory()
        inv:set_size("src", 3*3) -- space for a crafting grid, 9 stacks

maybe you can take a look into the technic alloy furnaces, they managed it to 'smelt' 2 things into another
