formspec on_punch

[juli]

i want to show a formspec if i punch a node.
The problem isn't to show, but to receive_fields:

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

on_punch = function(pos, node, player, pointed_thing)
                         
                        formspec = "size[8,10]" ..
                                "field[channel;Channel;${channel}]" ..      --set channel
                                "list[nodemeta:"..pos.x..","..pos.y..","..pos.z..";paper; 3.5,4;1,1;]" ..   --paper stack
                                "label[1,4;Paper]"..
                                "list[current_player;main;0,6;8,4;]"
                        minetest.show_formspec(player:get_player_name(), "formspec", formspec)
                end,

so what must i change, that the node receives the data from the field? (that i can save the channel)

Check out my protector mod, it does exactly what you ask: https://github.com/tenplus1/protector

If you use `show_formspec`, the fields are sent to registered `on_player_receive_fields` callbacks (you should check that the passed form name matches what you passed to `show_formspec` to ignore forms from other mods). If the formspec is part of the node's `infotext` metadata field, the fields are received in the node's own `on_receive_fields` callback.

Edit: If you go with `show_formspec`, I recommend using the `yourmodname:` prefix for form names to avoid conflicts with other mods' form names.

ok.
