ABM question.

[Gatharoth]

Alright, so I'm working on a mod/extension for a mod. Now if I register a ABM, will that apply to all future blocks of the same node?

(example)

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 = {"somemod:somenode"},
    interval = 1,
    chance = 1,
    action = function(pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wider)
                    minetest.env:remove_node(pos)
})

Will this abm be applied to future nodes of the "somenode"? Or does it affect only nodes currently placed?

It will affect all nodes of that type. It is irrelevant when they were placed or generated.

Damns. Well, that ruins some plans for code. Mmm... I guess I could do a work-around using time-of-day, but that could screw things up. Hmmm.... oh wells, thanks :)
