Can anyone tell me why my property isn't being stored to the entity?: local ref = core.add_entity(pos, name); local prop = ref:get_properties(); prop.owner = player:get_player_name(); ref:set_properties(prop) |
| 05:52 |
AntumDeluge |
When I access the entity in the "on_place" method, the property doesn't exist: function entity:on_punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, dir, damage); print("Owner: " .. tostring(self.object:get_properties().owner) -- nil |
| 05:54 |
AntumDeluge |
I'm not accessing the placed entity right. |
| 05:59 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> Check that your not modifying a reference |
| 06:00 |
AntumDeluge |
I'm not sure how to do that. |
| 06:00 |
AntumDeluge |
does core.add_entity return a reference? |
| 06:01 |
AntumDeluge |
The docs say "Returns `ObjectRef`, or `nil` if failed".... |
| 06:01 |
AntumDeluge |
So does that mean any changes I make to that return value are not actually amended to the added entity? |
| 06:02 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> Yes |
| 06:02 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> *i believe so |
| 06:03 |
AntumDeluge |
Then I'm not sure how to get the actual object. |
| 06:03 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> A object ref is a reference, you should not hold onto them as there a snapshot from that current time |
| 06:03 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> Get_luaentity or something like that |
| 06:05 |
AntumDeluge |
ObjectRef:get_luaentity()? |
| 06:05 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> Yeah, i think its that |
| 06:05 |
AntumDeluge |
Okay, I'll try it. |
| 06:09 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> Let me know if that works out |
| 06:15 |
AntumDeluge |
Nope, doesn't work. |
| 06:16 |
AntumDeluge |
local entity = ref:get_luaentity(); local prop = entity.object:get_properties(); prop.owner = placer:get_player_name(); entity:set_properties(prop); print("Owner: " .. tostring(entity.object:get_properties().owner)) -- nil |
| 06:17 |
AntumDeluge |
*entity.object:set_properties(prop) |
| 06:18 |
MTDiscord |
<Jonathon> To tired atm, i can look tommorrow if no one else gets to it |
| 06:19 |
AntumDeluge |
K, thanks for trying to help. :) |

AntumDeluge: entity properties are not for arbitrary data |
| 08:58 |
sfan5 |
if you want to store data put it into the lua object that is associated with the entity |
| 08:58 |
sfan5 |
which you can get using ref:get_luaentity() |
| 09:01 |
AntumDeluge |
Isn't that what I did? "local entity = ref:get_luaentity(); local prop = entity.object:get_properties(); prop.owner = placer:get_player_name(); entity:set_properties(prop); print("Owner: " .. tostring(entity.object:get_properties().owner)) -- nil" |
| 09:01 |
AntumDeluge |
Or do you mean like this: ref:get_luaentity().owner = placer:get_player_name() |
| 09:03 |
|

sfan5 |
yes |
| 09:04 |
AntumDeluge |
Okay. Thank you. |
| 09:04 |
sfan5 |
doing ref:get_luaentity().object is pointless, it returns the same ObjectRef you already have |
| 09:04 |
AntumDeluge |
Okay. |

hmm, when travelling by boat the game kind of stutters every 4-5 seconds. Could this be related loading/unloading the world? And if so, is there an option to prefetch world parts? |
| 09:59 |
sfan5 |
the server already sends more of the world in the direction you're looking and/or moving |
| 10:00 |
sfan5 |
the stutter could come from the client when it loads the world parts, that'd be hard to avoid |

also, totally unrelated, but from one of my mods a snake bit me and it says "catch three snakes" to craft the anti-venom. How do I catch them? (Are questions like this permitted in this channel? Or is this strictly tech support?) |

gehmehgeh |
there's all kind of range settings. I'll try adjusting those |
| 10:45 |
calcul0n |
gehmehgeh, for the snake i'd try a double with an empty hand, but it depends on the mod |
| 10:45 |
calcul0n |
maybe you need some tool or something |

maybe search snake in your craft guide, you might find the tool |

that'd be weird to need another mod for that |

ah, it's from "water_life" |

gehmehgeh |
ah, well, grepping for the term "catch" within the mod directory is more helpful :D |
| 11:42 |
gehmehgeh |
apparently there's a lasso and a net |

gehmehgeh: open mod code and read how to catch a snake |

I've never seen any mod where a snake bites you and then having to craft antivenom |
| 11:51 |
gehmehgeh |
specing: There's a net and a lasso from Mobs Redo (the mod on which the waterlife mod depends) |
| 11:51 |

I'll try that one |

is there a way to make the minetest terrain amplified? by default there are an extra 31000 nodes that can be used in the +Y direction, yet only about 300 are ever used in default terrain generation |

tune the scale value, spread etc to generate huge mountains |
| 18:10 |
Aris |
hmm |
| 18:10 |
Krock |
note that only newly generated mapblocks will contain those changes |
| 18:10 |
Aris |
true |
| 18:10 |
Krock |
existing map parts will not be updated; and would require manual deletion |
| 18:10 |
Krock |
i.e. /deleteblocks ....... |
| 18:11 |
Aris |
and that will be in the minetest_game directory? |
| 18:14 |

world specific |
