Well i want the image to disappear after 60 seconds and it pop up on a right click of a block
and this is my code for hint

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

while true do
wait(30)
    minetest.chat_send_all("HINT ")
end


it is not showing HINT on the chat maby a function would work but i have no errors it works on a chat cmd like this maby it needs a Function idk
<Cmd>

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

There are two types of GUIs.

Formspecs
These are windows like the inventory window.

HUDs
These are things like the crosshair, and the hearts, and the hotbar.

Sounds like you want formspecs.

lol you the one saying you have epic mods, learn how to do it! No ones going to hold your hand, and the best way to do yourself a favor is to dive into code and do your best to understand whats going on.

There are mods that have GUI's, so take a look at them first

Also, that wasnt meant to be mean.

I dont help people who say 'tell me how to do this',

but i will help people who post code and say 'well its doing x and y, but not z. any ideas?'

That is my moto. Don't say "How do I write a mod that adds a cannon?" Trye writing it yourself, then if you have trouble say something like "Well I tried x, but it didn't work. What is the problem?"
