Time Nick Message 04:16 khonkhortisan what's CONTENT_IGNORE? 04:18 marktraceur khonkhortisan: Something that isn't rendered 04:18 marktraceur IIRC, used to signify nodes that aren't loaded yet 04:18 khonkhortisan I guess I should register_abms after registering_nodes 19:11 khonkhortisan this can't really be the right syntax? player.get_player_name(player) 19:11 khonkhortisan I have to give it itself in its own function? 19:11 marktraceur khonkhortisan: You're right, that makes very little sense 19:12 khonkhortisan it also doesn't agree with doc/lua_api.txt 19:12 marktraceur lua_api is usually the authority, where are you seeing something different? 19:12 khonkhortisan "- get_player_name(): returns "" if is not a player" 19:13 khonkhortisan line 1002 19:13 khonkhortisan it doesn't mention any arguments 19:13 marktraceur Right, why do you think there's a contradiction? What source gave you player.get_player_name(player)? 19:14 khonkhortisan get_player_name(player) and player.get_player_name() don't work 19:14 marktraceur Answer the question, please. 19:16 khonkhortisan player.get_player_name() gives me "bad argument #1 to 'get_player_name''. get_player_name(player) gives me "attempt to call global 'get_player_name' (a nil value)". player.get_player_name(player) gives me the name of the player. 19:16 marktraceur Answer the question, please. 19:16 khonkhortisan I have no source other than the errors minetest gives me 19:16 marktraceur Then why did you think "player.get_player_name(player)" would work? 19:17 marktraceur Oh, you just tried it? 19:17 marktraceur And it did work? 19:17 khonkhortisan bad argument #1 to 'get_player_name' if I use player.get_player_name() 19:17 marktraceur Hm. 19:17 khonkhortisan so I put in an argument 19:17 marktraceur Try player:get_player_name() 19:18 marktraceur (I'm really not sure how that works, but if it's anything like Python, it might) 19:18 khonkhortisan hey, it works! 19:18 marktraceur Sweeeet 19:18 khonkhortisan Is there something I missed in lua_api? 19:19 marktraceur khonkhortisan: No, probably just "something you have to know" 19:19 marktraceur Which sucks 19:19 marktraceur But now we know for next time, eh? Spread the word. 19:19 khonkhortisan that's very common 19:19 khonkhortisan okay 19:19 marktraceur 'cause knowledge is power! 19:19 * marktraceur jumps and punches the air above him
