00:00 octacian   How can I get an object position from self?
00:03 behalebabo octacian: presumably you can override __builtin:item using minetest.registered_entities["__builtin:item"].on_punch = function(self, puncher) ... end
00:03 octacian   How do I get position from self?
00:03 behalebabo object:is_player() indeed indicates the object is a player
00:03 octacian   And could I just set on_punch to nil?
00:03 behalebabo I'd think so
00:04 behalebabo self:getpos()
00:04 octacian   Now, if object:is_player(), would a field such as object:get_inventory() work?
00:04 octacian   And yes, I just figured that out.
00:04 behalebabo hm, no
00:04 behalebabo self.object:getpos()
00:04 behalebabo octacian: yes, it's a player
00:04 octacian   So object:get_inventory() would work?
00:04 octacian   Good.
02:14 lordfingle Greetings!
02:31 OldCoder   lordfingle, greetings are not fleetings
02:40 octacian   How can I customize the chat message on join player?
02:48 OldCoder   octacian, Which message is this?
02:48 OldCoder   Example?
02:48 octacian   *** test joined the game
02:50 behalebabo octacian: it's registered in builtin/game/misc.lua as a register_on_joinplayer, I don't see any way you can override that
02:50 octacian   OK
02:51 octacian   Thought so
02:52 OldCoder   octacian, if you wish a patch, it will be provided. See me in the other channel.
02:52 octacian   It's fine
02:52 OldCoder
02:53 octacian   I might even submit a PR in a while
03:28 octacian   garywhite: my latest mod https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17163
04:08 OldCoder   New minetest.conf setting added to Community Edition based on octacian suggestion:
04:08 OldCoder   joinedtext1=Hooray,
04:08 OldCoder   joinedtext2=has returned
04:08 OldCoder   These two settings will change the player-join message to be something like: “Hooray, ElfTron has returned”. There is no provision yet for random messages, but this could be added easily.

16:54 twoelk     somehow I have the feeling I have seen such function before :-) just can't remember where
16:56 octacian   twoelk: you probably have, but I made this because of the above - something like this probably exists, but haven't found one and if one does it's unlikely that it's as simple as mine
16:56 twoelk     :-)
17:05 garywhite  Cool, octacian
21:55 ircSparky  when you attach a player to an object, is there a way to let the player's model rotate freely?
21:56 ircSparky  like if you're riding a minecart, then look around, your model is still looking dead ahead
21:58 ircSparky  it might look better if the player's model rotated with the camera. (might look weird with boats, though)
22:53 twoelk     ircSparky: maybe just rotate the head for an <owly> look :-D
22:54 ircSparky  haha
22:54 ircSparky  that would probably be harder, idk
22:55 ircSparky  if you use playeranim, when you look left and right, you just swing your shoulders
22:56 twoelk     with the beat? cool
22:56 twoelk     although dancing on that little raft might prove dangerous
22:58 ircSparky  haha
