I'm working on a patch that will drop mined blocks to the ground instead of automatically getting them in your inventory. As a side effect of this, whenever you walk on a Q'd item or tool, you will automatically get it (instead of having to click on it).

Entities? How would I do that?

Those "dropped items" are entities. I think you mean LUAentities, but to do what with them? I guess you could use the on_step function to look for a player standing on the entity and automatically add it to the player's inventory as they walk over them. Or have them destroy themselves if they fall into lava (or the like).

ok thanks

Very simple patch (for now). The speed of dropping is so slow, and you cannot walk over it to pick it up, but it works.
Patch builtin.lua with 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: 348c348,349 < digger:get_inventory():add_item("main", dropped_item) --- > -- digger:get_inventory():add_item("main", dropped_item) > minetest.item_drop(dropped_item, digger, pos)

I've already made this,Without automatic take.

What is this for? Just to make 'like in minecraft'? Getting blocks to the inventory is more comfortable.

This can prevent many stacks of useless blocks like cobble stone.

by **Death Dealer** » Sun Apr 01, 2012 17:36

This would work well with a level/attribute system like a block has so much chance to drop more than one block per node based on your level. I hope there some progress being made with this:D

And make useless hundreds of entities lying on the ground and causing lags.

how you put that?

by **lkjoel** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 02:33

Actually, I do NOT use this, and the walking over to pick up is hard for me (I'm working on the modding app, so I'm probably not going to do this). Anyways, to patch it, you can either use the patch utility, or you can just look for lines 348 and 349, and replace what is shown (< is to delete, and > is to add). The line numbers might differ slightly, but it should be around that.

btw, I was talking about patching builtin.lua (minetestdatadir/builtin/builtin.lua), just in case you didn't know which file to patch ;)

by **lkjoel** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 16:02

Actually, ignore what I said about not being able to finish it. Thanks celeron55 for this: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/commit/f0e7da8a63d858f3b511872cf41cde0eaff6585d

how exactly do i use this stuff?

by **Calinou** » Mon Apr 02, 2012 16:44

You'll have to compile the git version, or wait for the next windows version if you can't compile it.
