10:03 nepugia     Hey, what is the proper way to interact with objects on the ground? (i.e coal item), I Have got an objectref from pointed_thing, but i am stuck at getting the inventory part, i see two possible ways from the lua api doc, one would be get_wielded_item on it and the other would be get_inventory, with get_inventory i just get nil back, with wielded item i gett lots of empty values back (as in empty string in get_name and so), am i perhaps mis
10:03 nepugia     sing a third method?
10:04 nepugia     I want to do this to be able to pick up items from lua
10:05 sfan5       a dropped item entity is neither "wielding" an item nor does it have an inventory
10:05 sfan5       take a look at builtin/game/item_entity.lua to see how it's implemeneted
10:06 ANAND       The itemname is held in the special field "itemstring" (IIRC)
10:08 nepugia     thanks, i will take a look
10:08 VanessaE    also consider item_tweaks, if picking-up is your main goal
10:08 nepugia     VanessaE, what is that?
10:08 VanessaE    https://github.com/minetest-technic/item_tweaks
10:09 VanessaE    it adds a few things like stacks combining on drop, and auto-pickup as you walk by
10:09 nepugia     Not really usefull for me, and the repo does not have a license, but thansk
10:10 VanessaE    it's WTFPL
10:10 VanessaE    (forked from https://github.com/cyisfor/item_drop)
10:10 nepugia     it still doesnt have a license file :)
10:10 VanessaE    but the code at https://github.com/minetest-technic/item_tweaks/blob/master/item_drop.lua#L50 ought to be close to what you waant
10:10 VanessaE    -a
10:30 nepugia     okay, i have it now
10:30 nepugia     thanks
14:33 jas_        hi
14:33 jas_        "stacks combining on drop" happens by default, if i'm understanding that right
14:34 Calinou     it does now, yeah
14:35 jas_        it was referred to earlier as a feature of a mod, i just wanted to let vanessae know in case she didn't already.
14:35 VanessaE    oh right
14:36 VanessaE    I guess the standard issue minetest handles that now.
14:36 VanessaE    I forgot..
14:36 jas_        but def not autopickup
14:36 jas_        i do it from the player instead from the item, prolly crazy but
14:37 jas_        https://github.com/jastevenson303/Lavaland/blob/master/mods/items/init.lua#L92 i got a glitch or two tho
