12:00 sfan5     indeed I am on-site
19:21 citrons   I'm having issues with entities.
19:21 citrons   I don't understand why the "item" model is displaying something much larger than the normal node size
19:23 citrons   https://citrons.xyz/files/VrXX3s1S.png
19:29 Krock     citrons: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/builtin/game/falling.lua#L42  try scale = 2/3
19:29 citrons   this is a very odd default. I wondered if I was doing something wrong
19:30 Krock     old Minetest API can be odd sometimes
19:30 MTDiscord <warr1024> Weird magic number are no stranger to minetest ... isn't there something weird about a 10:1 unit scaling thing between ent and node meshes or something?
19:31 citrons   yes, seemingly. actually, that relates to the other issue I'm having...
19:31 Krock     @warr1024 only on C++-side
19:31 Krock     the degree rotations in get/set_attach are another inconsistency
19:32 citrons   it says set_attach needs to be multiplied by 10
19:32 citrons   the documentation does.
19:32 citrons   I'm having problems with set_attach.
19:32 Krock     ah yes. that's the C++-side thing that made it into Lua
19:32 citrons   the child entities are not being displayed at their relative positions; they're just centered on the parent.
19:33 Krock     make sure the bone name exists
19:34 citrons   I'm passing "", which it says should be the "root bone".
19:34 citrons   hm. is the problem that my parent doesn't have a model?
19:34 Krock     the only requirement for attachments is to have an object to attach to
19:35 Krock     you could check whether this code works for you: https://github.com/SmallJoker/minetest_lab/blob/master/init_18_attachment_chain.lua#L20
19:36 Krock     it's a testing script for an old PR that I either wrote or reviewed
19:37 Krock     it should spawn cubes that are attached to each other. rightclicking one will attach your player model to it. I hope this helps
19:37 citrons   alright. let me see...
19:44 citrons   oh.
19:44 citrons   I confused the directionality of set_attach, I think.
19:47 citrons   but... I reversed it and it still doesn't work. hmm.
19:48 citrons   no, wait, I confused myself. I had it in the correct direction the first time.
