12:20 untilted       Has anyone ever used the players object get_look_dir() to get the first node they are looking at?
12:21 untilted       nvm I think I just found out how I'm supposed to use pointed_thing_to_face_pos
14:04 shaft          I'm trying to throw entities through the air and want them to have always land in the exact same spot but it's always inaccurate
14:04 shaft          Should I just move them along a path or am I doing something wrong with the accelleration?
14:16 sfan5          shaft: works fine for me https://paste.debian.net/hidden/dd95b3e9/
14:17 sfan5          try this, stand still and fire a bunch of projectiles. they land within 0.01 of eachother
14:23 shaft          Thanks a lot. Works fine. I overlooked that there is a set_acceleration and wrote it in lua.
14:36 shaft          Can I intialize an entity with a custom property, so it is available in on_activate?
14:38 shaft          Why is staticdata a string? What is staticdata?
14:39 MTDiscord      <luatic> staticdata is how you persist data pertaining to an entity
14:39 sfan5          staticdata is what gets saved on disk when the entity is unloaded
14:39 sfan5          but you can also decide the staticdata your entity gets when you spawn it
14:43 shaft          do other properties not persist?
14:52 sfan5          hp, velocity and rotation persist
14:57 shaft          Attachement doesn't?
14:57 shaft          That would explain a bug I have.
14:57 sfan5          hp, velocity and rotation persist; everything else does not
14:57 sfan5          especially not attachments
15:00 shaft          I'll fix that another time. Here's the current progress of the mod https://gitgud.io/blut/traverse
23:44 ireallyhateirc if I do this: local gennotify = minetest.get_mapgen_object("gennotify")
23:45 ireallyhateirc in mapgen env, will this be the same for every mapchunk?
23:46 ireallyhateirc I mean is gennotify just an interface here, or is it the actual object with data?
