could anyone write me a code for a nodebox that will be super flat. It is for a really cool mod I am making. Thanks.

Like 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

drawtype="nodebox",
paramtype = "light",
node_box = {
    type = "fixed",
    fixed = {
        {-0.500000,-0.500000,-0.500000,0.500000,-0.450000,0.500000}, --NodeBox 1
    }
}

Yes, thank you. now how do you add different textures to a nodebox?

never mind

[Topywo]

fixed = {-0.5, -0.001, -0.5, 0.5, 0.001, 0.5}

the -0.001 and 0.001 are the Y's.

You can make the flat less flat by enlarging the numbers example:

fixed = {-0.5, -0.01, -0.5, 0.5, 0.01, 0.5}

or you can put it on the bottom:

fixed = {-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.5, -0.498, 0.5}

or top:

fixed = {-0.5, 0.498, -0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5}

You can copy the code from a mod with nodeboxes, like VanessaE's homedecor, and replace (mod)names with the names of your mod and change the numbers behind fixed with one of the examples. Best way is to just try out different formats.

Edit: yeah, never mind too :-)

how do I get this to turn to attach to the wall when I look at the wall. when I look at the wall and place this, it is sideways and coming off the wall


minetest.register_node("mod:wall_red", {
tiles = {"mod_wall_red.png"},
groups = {snappy=1,choppy=2,oddly_breakable_by_hand=2,flammable=3},
drawtype="nodebox",
paramtype = "light",
paramtype2 = "facedir",
node_box = {
type = "fixed",
fixed = {
{-0.50, - 0.50, -0.50, -0.40, 0.50, 0.50}, --NodeBox 2
}
}
})

Try using drawtype = "signlike", and paramtype2 = "wallmounted",
