## Howto register a display node
|
||||
* Register display entities with **register\_display\_entity**
|
||||
* Register display entities with `register\_display\_entity`
|
||||
|
||||
* Register node with :
|
||||
- **on\_place**, **on\_construct**, **on\_destruct** and **on\_rotate** callbacks using **display\_lib** callbacks.
|
||||
- a **display\_entities** field in node definition containing a entity name indexed table. See below for description of each display\_entities fields.
|
||||
- `on\_place`, `on\_construc`, `on\_destruc` and `on\_rotat` callbacks using display\_lib callbacks.
|
||||
- `display_lib_node` group. This will make this node have their entities updated as soon as the mapblock is loaded (Useful after /clearobjects).
|
||||
- a `display\_entities` field in node definition containing a entity name indexed table. See below for description of each display\_entities fields.
|
||||
|
||||
### Display_entities fields
|
||||
**depth**, **right** and **height** : Entity position regarding to node facedir/wallmounted main axis. Values for these fields can be any number between -0.5 and 0.5 (default value is 0). Position 0,0,0 is the center of the node. **depth** goes from front (-0.5) to rear (0.5), **height** goes from bottom (-0.5) to top (0.5) and **height** goes from left (-0.5) to right (0.5).
|
||||
`on_display_update` is a callback in charge of setting up entity texture. If not set, entity will have no texture and will be displayed as unknown item.

`depth`, `right` and `heigh` : Entity position regarding to node facedir/wallmounted main axis. Values for these fields can be any number between -0.5 and 0.5 (default value is 0). Position 0,0,0 is the center of the node. `depth` goes from front (-0.5) to rear (0.5), `height` goes from bottom (-0.5) to top (0.5) and `height` goes from left (-0.5) to right (0.5).
|
||||
|
||||
In order to avoid flickering text, it's better to have text a little behind node surface. A good spacing value is given by `display_lib.entity_spacing` variable.
