11:38 PilzAdam     VanessaE, why does this not work: http://pastebin.com/D2tJWAQh
11:43 PilzAdam     this have to be something in a new version of mesecons, because with a older version of mesecons (maybe 2 weeks) the same thing works with my carts mod
11:43 VanessaE     odd
11:43 VanessaE     did you see what I wrote in the other channel?
11:43 PilzAdam     yes
11:43 VanessaE     re: registering as an effector and with rules
11:44 VanessaE     ok
11:46 PilzAdam     works
11:46 VanessaE     woo!
11:46 PilzAdam     mesecon:register_effector("tnt:tnt", "tnt:tnt")
11:46 PilzAdam     this is stupid
11:48 VanessaE     actually, according to this, you should only need one
11:48 VanessaE     e.g. mesecon:register_effector("tnt:tnt",)
11:50 VanessaE     might be a recently-introduced bug.  Can you file an issue on the mesecons github repos so we don't lose it?
11:53 PilzAdam     done
11:54 VanessaE     thanks :-)
12:07 PilzAdam     how do the rules of mesecons work?
12:07 PilzAdam     i want a effector that only recieve signals from above
12:08 VanessaE     I think in that case you'd use one rule, {x=0, y=1, z=0} or something like that
12:08 VanessaE     one such rule line per connection
12:08 VanessaE     if you wanted to connect from the bottom it would be y=-1
12:09 VanessaE     yup I got that right :-)
12:09 VanessaE     mesecon:add_rules("rulename", {{x=0, y=1, z=0}),
12:09 VanessaE     er too many braces, but you get the idea.
12:10 PilzAdam     yes
12:21 PilzAdam     this doesnt realy work
12:21 PilzAdam     mesecon:add_rules("tnt_above", {{x=0,y=1,z=0}})
12:21 PilzAdam     mesecon:register_effector("tnt:tnt", "tnt:tnt", mesecon:get_rules("tnt_above"))
12:21 PilzAdam     this has the effect that nothing happens the i give a signal to the tnt
12:31 PilzAdam     i know the problem: the wires dont give the signal down
12:32 PilzAdam     x=1 works
12:32 VanessaE     strange, they should?
12:32 VanessaE     do they visibly connect to the tnt?
12:32 PilzAdam     nope
12:32 VanessaE     that's why
12:32 VanessaE     you're missing a connection rule to make them bend
12:33 PilzAdam     and how  do i add it?
12:33 VanessaE     that's why the API is different from before btw - to make sure all mesecons wires can connect to all mesecons objects instead of what we had before
12:33 VanessaE     (where before a switch sitting next to a wire turned it on without a visible connection)
12:34 VanessaE     that's what the rules declaration is supposed to do
12:34 PilzAdam     and how  do i add it?
12:34 VanessaE     and groups=
12:34 VanessaE     set the rule I mentioned above, and do groups = { mesecon = 2}
12:34 VanessaE     in your register_node call
12:35 VanessaE     for rules, try only a single set of braces, e.g.  mesecon:add_rules("tnt_above", {x=0,y=1,z=0})
12:36 * VanessaE   looks at the definition of a piston for an idea
12:36 PilzAdam     now they connect but it still doesnt work
12:37 PilzAdam     (with 1 and 2 brackets)
12:38 VanessaE     looks like you also have to call mesecon:updatenode(pos) inside your register_on_signal_X() call when the node should actually change
12:41 PilzAdam     nope didnt help
12:41 VanessaE     hrm
12:41 PilzAdam     as i said other directions work
12:41 PilzAdam     so the wire dont give the signal straight down
12:41 VanessaE     very strange
12:41 PilzAdam     or up
13:04 PilzAdam     I need new textures for my gunpowder
13:04 PilzAdam     i was thnking of something lika a barrel
13:11 VanessaE     look in my texture pack
13:11 VanessaE     I use a barrel for TNT
13:11 VanessaE     maybe you can borrow that and scale it down or so
13:12 VanessaE     (well, for the whole TNT node, I use a barrel of gunpowder)
15:42 PilzAdam     VanessaE, do you know where the object:punch() function is defined?
15:44 VanessaE     not offhand, no
15:44 PilzAdam     do you know how to use it in tnt?
15:47 VanessaE     nope :-)
15:47 VanessaE     never messed with TNT at all
15:48 VanessaE     I know how to use it in *general* though
15:48 PilzAdam     i mean how call this method correctly
15:48 VanessaE     oh
15:48 PilzAdam     obj:punch(obj, 1.0, {
15:48 PilzAdam     full_punch_interval=1.0,
15:48 PilzAdam     groupcaps={
15:48 PilzAdam     fleshy={times={[1]=1/damage, [2]=1/damage, [3]=1/damage}},
15:48 PilzAdam     snappy={times={[1]=1/damage, [2]=1/damage, [3]=1/damage}},
15:48 PilzAdam     }
15:48 PilzAdam     }, nil)
15:48 PilzAdam     this doesnt work
15:49 VanessaE     minetest.register_on_punchnode(function (pos, node)       code code code code   end)
15:49 VanessaE     where the code code code is is where you actually do whatever should happen when the node is punched.
15:49 VanessaE     for example.
15:49 VanessaE     ,
15:49 * PilzAdam   facepalms
15:49 PilzAdam     i mean hitting a player
15:50 VanessaE     OH!
15:50 VanessaE     never done that
15:50 * VanessaE   echoes the facepalm
15:50 PilzAdam     nobody has done that
15:50 PilzAdam     and i dont work
16:11 thexyz       why don't you want to use set_hp?
16:13 PilzAdam     thexyz, mainly because lua entities have a die animation when this used
16:15 PilzAdam     do you know how to use it correctly?
22:27 Jordach      afternoon, evening, morning all
