item_image_button[]

[0gb.us]

I'm trying to use item image buttons on a formspec, but it isn't working. There's no error, but there's also no image button. I'm using this format: "item_image_button[0,0;1,1;default:dirt;<name>;<label>]".

Am I doing this the wrong way, or is it an error in the game / API documentation?

I'm currently using a workaround involving image_button[] and minetest.inventorycube(), but it doesn't work well for stairs and slabs, because they are non-cubes. If I'm just doing it wrong, or it's an error in the documentation, what is the right way to add buttons representing items?

Thank you!

item_image_button is only in 0.4.4-dev. Be sure to use this version of Minetest if testing the mod.

So the manual is ahead of the current release then. That's a pleasant change from other software I've used, where the manual is several versions BEHIND the actual software.

Thank you for your time and quick response!

The manual isnt ahead of the software. https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt is the API of the current master branch of git; the latest version. If you are using 0.4.3 you should use this API specification: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/blob/stable-0.4/doc/lua_api.txt (its from the 0.4-stable branch of git).

Wow, a different manual, for a different version . That's even more organized. Thanks!

I must have ended up on the wrong one by mistake. I'll pay better attention next time, now that I know.
