Failure: Not allowing to place CONTENT_IGNORE ???

[tkerwel]

Map::setNode(): Not allowing to place CONTENT_IGNORE while trying to replace "air" at (-66,25,102) (block (-5,1,6))

can somebody explain what this mean's ?
i try to create a tree with a experimental function,

so the trunk is placed without error...

minetest.env:add_node({x=pos.x,y=pos.y,z=pos.z},{type="node",name="default:fence_wood"})
minetest.env:add_node({x=pos.x,y=pos.y+1,z=pos.z},{type="node",name="default:fence_wood"})
minetest.env:add_node({x=pos.x,y=pos.y+2,z=pos.z},{type="node",name="default:fence_wood"})
minetest.env:add_node({x=pos.x,y=pos.y+3,z=pos.z},{type="node",name="default:fence_wood"})
minetest.env:add_node({x=pos.x+1,y=pos.y+3,z=pos.z},{type="node",name="deko:deko_birch_leaves"})

the first mistake comes where the leaves should be set, whats wrong ?

You're trying to replace air with an unknown block; define it, or fix the name.

...or the Chunk is not loaded

strange I have same issue with tv mod (from jordach) ...
but all tv nodes exist and are registered ..
and it does the error with block loaded (be close to the tv node)
... I ask myself if this error occurs if we try to change a node with the same node ....
add node tv:screen_5 on at location of a tv:screen_5 node ..
Stupid ?

if youre using abm's make sure they're not acting on unloaded chunks

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

if node.name == 'ignore' then return end

or use

Code: Select all

node = get_node_or_nil(pos)
if node then
  -- do stuff
end
