Time Nick Message 18:12 dhasenan_ I'm trying to get dropped items near a block (throw things into a crucible, get a new item out). find_nodes_in_area only gives me players, and get_objects_in_radius only gets players. I'm not seeing anything in the API that will give me dropped items. 18:12 dhasenan_ Any pointers of where to look? 18:12 dhasenan_ I've been through most of the lua_api.txt document. 18:25 Zefram_Fysh get_objects_in_radius is the correct way. you can recognise dropped-item entities by (object:get_luaentity() and object:get_luaentity().name == "__builtin:item") 18:26 Zefram_Fysh if you're not seeing the items you expect, try increasing the radius a bit: maybe your idea of the item's coordinates is a bit off 18:28 Zefram_Fysh see the item_tweaks mod for example code. it has logic that makes players attract nearby dropped items 18:39 dhasenan_ Thanks. I was getting confused because everything it returned showed "" when I tried printing it out.
