Hey, I'm trying to use the mod's API in order to support more items. minetest.register_on_mods_loaded(function() for _, node in pairs(minetest.registered_nodes) do frame.register(node.name) end end) No matter what I do i get this: WARNING[Main]: Frame registered for ":simple_potions:potion_bla...

To allow any path length: function get(table, path) for key in path:gmatch("[^%.]+") do if type(table) ~= "table" then return end table = table[key] end return table end local table = { foo = { bar = { baz = "some text", a = "aaaaaaa" } } } print(get(table, &q...

What are you using this to do? There's probably a better way.

Use `minetest.override_item`:

Indeed it’s fixed, thanks! This feature is awesome. :D I'm thinking that the screw node can interpret other actions as well, such as "pushes" by punching it translates to the WE move command. Perhaps it should grow into its own mod if added. Yeah, I was thinking about that too. The proble...

Any idea why I'm getting this error at boot? ERROR[Main]: ModError: Failed to load and run script from /Users/user/Library/Application Support/minetest/mods/screwdriver2/init.lua: ERROR[Main]: .../mods/screwdriver2/worldedit.lua:7: attempt to index field '/rotate' (a nil value) ERROR[Main]: stack t...

Just the Minetest logo with the word "Minetest" below it seems like the best choice.

Alright, I added the worldedit rotation. Rotating the "WorldEdit Screw" node with the screwdriver will also rotate the worldedit region. I feel like this isn't very useful since it requires a special node and a special tool... Maybe just adding a worldedit screwdriver tool would be a bette...

oh ok
(I've never actually used worldedit before)
That should be pretty simple to add.

This mod is excellent. The particle effect is really useful, though I'd replace its texture with something simpler than the screwdriver texture. I was planning to use a different texture, but couldn't think of anything... Here’s a killer feature: the ability to rotate not only individual nodes but ...

Wow, I didn't know register_on_mods_loaded even existed. That will be super useful instead of soft depend on every other little mod! I think that was added in 5.0, but before that it was common to use minetest.after(0, function). Your function looks super slick, but it returns { ["default:stic...

Make sure this is running after all mods have loaded. EDIT: the output of minetest.get_all_craft_recipes is: (from lua_api.txt) * recipe entry table: * `method`: 'normal' or 'cooking' or 'fuel' * `width`: 0-3, 0 means shapeless recipe * `items`: indexed [1-9] table with recipe items * `output`: stri...

minetest.registered_items isn't an array, it uses the item names as keys.

When you call on_rotate, you're supposed to pass the new param2 value, not the current one.

If you set node_placement_prediction = "" in the node definition, the dice won't appear for a split second if you try to place it.

Adding particle effects to show the rotation axis/direction after you use the screwdriver

5.0.0-dev: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... .txt#L5442 -> `player:get_properties().eye_height`

This doesn't take view bobbing (or other camera animations) into account, though.

Code: Select all

 * `minetest.pointed_thing_to_face_pos(placer, pointed_thing)`: returns a position

That doesn't work with nodes that use nodeboxes.

So it turns out that there is already a mod that does nearly the exact same thing! Rhotator Screwdriver It's definitely a lot more polished than my version (and compatible with Minetest 0.4), but doesn't always work on nodes that don't have full nodeboxes (Which is nearly impossible without the rayc...

So is it version 0.5.0.0 or 5.0.0?
What happened to the first digit?

Nice! Crafting: (Same recipe as the old screwdriver) I've seen, you add a recipe for the mtg screwdriver, but no recipe to craft it back. Also I think, it's better to clear the craft recipe before overwriting it. Else craft guide mods will show both. Yeah I'll fix that. I wonder if I should just ov...

The default screwdriver is a very useful tool, but it only makes sense if you understand how the facedir axis/rotation system works (and even then, I usually just resort to clicking randomly until I get the rotation I want) This mod adds a new screwdriver that (I think) is more intuitive: http://kla...

Alright, I've made a bunch of changes. Some of the more redundant devices have been removed (though I might add some of them again), and I added the LCD from my other mod. The input/output terminal now has a model and textures, though the printer and controller still use placeholders. The most impor...

Could you add a link to download display_lib separately?
