This lib adds utilities to watch player movements and trigger things when they are
|
|
|
|
spotted moving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It does nothing by itself but aim to ease event based upon players or item
|
|
|
|
moving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All positions are rounded to node position (integer coordinates).

General warning
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This mod may be resources consuming. The mods relying upon this lib should use
|
|
|
|
small functions not to decrease the server performances too much.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The more functions are provided, the more the server can lag (but probably a little
|
|
|
|
less than running every of them without the lib).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Watch player's movements
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use poschangelib.add_player_pos_listener(name, my_callback)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Name is the identifier the listener, to use in remove_player_pos_listener. You should
|
|
|
|
follow the naming convention like for node names. See http://dev.minetest.net/Intro
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-03 23:12:36 +02:00
|
|
|
The my_callback is a function that takes 4 arguments: the player, last known position,
|
|
|
|
new position and some metadata.
|
2017-07-25 20:15:53 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On first call (once a player joins) the last known position will be nil. If your
|
|
|
|
listener does something in that case, it will be called shortly after the player
|
|
|
|
reconnects. It may so be triggered twice from the same position, before leaving and
|
|
|
|
after joining.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be aware that the new position may not always be a neigrbor of the old one.
|
|
|
|
When on teleporting, programatic moves with setpos or moving fast it may be far away.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quick code sample:
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-03 23:12:36 +02:00
|
|
|
local function my_callback(player, old_pos, new_pos, meta)
|
2017-07-25 20:15:53 +02:00
|
|
|
if old_pos == nil then
|
|
|
|
minetest.chat_send_player(player:get_player_name(), 'Welcome to the world!')
|
|
|
|
else
|
|
|
|
minetest.chat_send_player(player:get_player_name(),
|
|
|
|
"You are now at x:" .. new_pos.x .. ", y:" .. new_pos.y ..
|
|
|
|
"z:" .. new_pos.z)
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
poschangelib.add_player_pos_listener("sample:pos_listener", my_callback)
|
|
|
|

|
Watch player walking on particular nodes, the rough way
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------
|
2017-07-25 20:15:53 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use poschangelib.add_player_walk_listener(name, my_callback, nodenames)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name is used in the same way as for player position listeners. It aims at reducing
|
|
|
|
the number of time the stepped node is fetched to share it accross all listeners.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The callback is a function that takes 4 arguments: the player, the position, the node
|
|
|
|
stepped on and that node description.
|
|
|
|
See http://dev.minetest.net/minetest.register_node for node description.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can register the listener for a list of node name or groups, in the same way you
|
|
|
|
do it to register an ABM. See http://dev.minetest.net/register_abm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
local function flop(player, pos, node, desc)
|
|
|
|
minetest.chat_send_player(player:get_player_name(), 'Flop flop')
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
poschangelib.add_player_walk_listener('sample:flop', flop, {'default:dirt_with_grass'})
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
local function toptop(player, pos, node, desc)
|
|
|
|
minetest.chat_send_player(player:get_player_name(), 'Top top top')
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
poschangelib.add_player_walk_listener('sample:top', toptop, {'group:choppy'})
|
|
|
|

Watch player walking on particular nodes, the fine way
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When dealing with non-filled blocks like slab and snow, the trigger may give some
|
|
|
|
false positives and be triggered twice for the same movement. This is because you can
|
|
|
|
hook to a nearby full block and stand above snow without touching it, which messes
|
|
|
|
with the walk detection of regular blocks (which checks for walkable nodes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover it can't be enough. With the example of slabs, lower slabs can be triggered
|
|
|
|
by hanging to a nearby full block and should not be triggered that way, but higher
|
|
|
|
slabs must be considered like full blocks, because the player is walking on the above
|
|
|
|
node.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't require an accurate checking, just ignore the call when trigger_meta.redo
|
|
|
|
is true like in the example below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
local function toptop(player, pos, node, desc, trigger_meta)
|
|
|
|
if trigger_meta.redo then return end
|
|
|
|
... do your regular stuff
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to make fine position checking, you can use the 5th argument which holds
|
2017-08-19 16:25:26 +02:00
|
|
|
the trigger metadata. See "More on metadata" below.

Add _on_walk_over to nodes
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This behaviour is ported from the walkover mod only for compatibility.
|
|
|
|
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=15991
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A new node property can be added in node definitions:
|
|
|
|
_on_walk_over = <function>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function takes the position, the node and the player as argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For compatibility with walkover, you can use on_walk_over (without the underscore
|
|
|
|
prefix) but it is discouraged as stated in the forum post. This support may be dropped
|
|
|
|
at any time when most mods have updated the name.
|
|
|
|
|
2017-07-31 23:49:01 +02:00
|
|
|
_on_walk is affected by the same issue about non-filled nodes. You can use the 4th
|
|
|
|
argument to check the trigger metadata to adjust your callback.
|

More on metadata
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The metadata are a table that can contain the following elements:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interpolated
|
|
|
|
Is true when the position was assumed and not observed. Most of the time because the
|
|
|
|
player moved too fast to check all nodes in real time.
|
|
|
|
|
2017-08-03 23:40:34 +02:00
|
|
|
teleported
|
2017-08-19 16:25:26 +02:00
|
|
|
Is true when the player was moving too fast. The interpolation is then not computed.
|
2017-08-03 23:40:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2017-08-03 23:12:36 +02:00
|
|
|
player_pos
|
|
|
|
Is set for walk listeners, it contains the player's position. Not set when
|
|
|
|
interpolated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
source
|
|
|
|
Contains the name of the node or group that triggered the walk listener.
|
|
|
|
This is one of thoses passed on registration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
source_level
|
|
|
|
Contains the level of the group when source is a node group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
redo
|
|
|
|
Is true when it was detected that the listener was previously called on that position.
|
2017-08-19 16:25:26 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
covered
|
|
|
|
Is true when a non-walkable non-air node is present above this node (like grass).
|
|
|
|
Covered is accurate only with full nodes. For half-filled node, you'll have to check
|
|
|
|
by hand.

Configuration/Performances tweaking
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lib checks for position at a given interval. Default is every 0.3 seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This can be changed by setting poschangelib.check_interval in minetest.conf
|
|
|
|
or in advanced settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting a lower value will make the lib more accurate but will be more demanding
|
|
|
|
on resources (down to 0.05 which is a every server tick).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the server is lagging, try increasing the interval. If the server can afford
|
|
|
|
more precise checks you can decrease the value.
