How can I increase the active range for lua entities (mobs)?

[burli]

Objects disappear in the distance. Is it possible to increase this distance?

Try 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

active_block_range = 4
active_object_send_range_blocks = 4


The distance is in "blocks", ie. 16×16×16 nodes. The first one determines the simulation area of entities (default is 2), the latter determines the sending distance (default is 3).

I tried this, but they disappear still in the same distance. I want to increase the view range

Please look that the minetest.conf.example file. There you will find a great explanation for all possible commands:

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

#    From how far blocks are sent to clients, stated in mapblocks (16 nodes).
# max_block_send_distance = 10

#    From how far blocks are generated for clients, stated in mapblocks (16 nodes).
# max_block_generate_distance = 6

I talk about the visibility range of lua entities. They disappear in a distance of ~40 nodes. I already searched the mtconf example for possible parameters

I'm sorry, I forgot to exit and restart minetest. Now the active range is much higher
