Can a ABM?

[Jordach]

ABM change a node to a random node, such as node:alpha_1 to node:alpha_5 and then node:alpha_3 ??

Making a TV is really hard.

[sfan5]

Yep

[Jordach]

Awesome? Care to share?

As in:

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_abm(
        {nodenames = {"default:test_1"},
        interval = 0,
        chance = 1,
        action = function(pos)
                minetest.env:add_node(pos, {name="default:test_.math.random(1,10)"})
        end,
})

look at my trafficlights

[Jordach]

I need something like math.random(1,10) to change the nodes around, kddkadenz's desert mod is helping.

[mauvebic]

what are you trying to do?

[Jordach]

Do something really clever.

[Jordach]

I just found the answer I hope.

[Jordach]

I needed to use 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

local i = math.random(1,10)

if i = 1 then
    minetest.env:add_node(pos, {node:generic})


This under a ABM plus 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_abm(
        {nodenames = {"tv:screen_1", "tv:screen_2", "tv:screen_3", "tv:screen_4", "tv:screen_5", "tv:screen_6", "tv:screen_7", "tv:screen_8", "tv:screen_9", "tv:screen_10"},

Is how I almost got it to work. This has not BEEN TESTED, WILL GIVE A RELEASE ON GIT SOON.

[mauvebic]

you want a tv that flickers between channels?

[Jordach]

No no. But I am almost done. Just add textures.

[Jordach]

Problem:

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 i = math.random(1,10)

if i== 1 then
    minetest.env:add_node(pos, {node:generic})
    end
end

This makes an error, and function is (pos) what is my error.

[mauvebic]

you seem to have an extra 'end' statement

[mauvebic]

Problem:

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.env:add_node(pos, {node:generic})


try this instead:

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.env:add_node(pos,{type="node",name='node:generic'})

[Jordach]

Keeps on saying: function arguments expected near '}'

No code change.

[mauvebic]

if you know which line the errors happenning on post that portion of the code, else post the whole thing and ill take a look

looks more like a LUA syntax/typo thing than a modding API thing

Email sent.

[mauvebic]

in debug.txt it should tell you which line is causing the problem

[Jordach]

Mail sent.

[mauvebic]

line 130: you have a comma after end

[Jordach]

Changed that, nothing doing.

[mauvebic]

and in

should be

It works!

Just made the changes by hand, they work.

[mauvebic]

yeah you had a syntax error here:

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.env:add_node(pos,{type="node",name="tv:screen_5"))

shoulda been:

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.env:add_node(pos,{type="node",name="tv:screen_5"})

[Jordach]

Actually, you don't need the type="node", this seems to check whether the drawtype is, a cube, sign fence post and what not.

[mauvebic]

thats prolly right, half my mods have register crafts that use node "themod:thenode" and the other half use simply themod:thenode

[Jordach]

I set the interval and chance to 1, 1. They shuffled like dice!

[mauvebic]

allright but keep in mind, the more of your nodes are in the game, the more FPS intense the abms get.
