Mobs Redo API
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the world of mobs in minetest and hopefully an easy guide to defining
|
|
your own mobs and having them appear in your worlds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Registering Mobs
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
To register a mob and have it ready for use requires the following function:
|
|
|
|
mobs:register_mob(name, definition)
|
|
|
|
The 'name' of a mob usually starts with the mod name it's running from followed
|
|
by it's own name e.g.
|
|
|
|
"mobs_monster:sand_monster" or "mymod:totally_awesome_beast"
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Node Replacement
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Mobs can look around for specific nodes as they walk and replace them to mimic
|
|
eating.
|
|
|
|
'replace_what' group of items to replace e.g.
|
|
{"farming:wheat_8", "farming:carrot_8"}
|
|
or you can use the specific options of what, with and
|
|
y offset by using this instead:
|
|
{
|
|
{"group:grass", "air", 0},
|
|
{"default:dirt_with_grass", "default:dirt", -1}
|
|
}
|
|
'replace_with' replace with what e.g. "air" or in chickens case "mobs:egg"
|
|
'replace_rate' how random should the replace rate be (typically 10)
|
|
'replace_offset' +/- value to check specific node to replace
|
|
|
|
'on_replace(self, pos, oldnode, newnode)' is called when mob is about to
|
|
replace a node.
|
|
'self' ObjectRef of mob
|
|
'pos' Position of node to replace
|
|
'oldnode' Current node
|
|
'newnode' What the node will become after replacing
|
|
|
|
If false is returned, the mob will not replace the node.
|
|
|
|
By default, replacing sets self.gotten to true and resets the object
|
|
properties. (DEPRECATED, use on_replace to make changes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Custom Definition Functions
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Along with the above mob registry settings we can also use custom functions to
|
|
enhance mob functionality and have them do many interesting things:
|
|
|
|
'on_die' a function that is called when the mob is killed the
|
|
parameters are (self, pos)
|
|
'on_rightclick' its same as in minetest.register_entity()
|
|
'on_blast' is called when an explosion happens near mob when using TNT
|
|
functions, parameters are (object, damage) and returns
|
|
(do_damage, do_knockback, drops)
|
|
'on_spawn' is a custom function that runs on mob spawn with 'self' as
|
|
variable, return true at end of function to run only once.
|
|
'after_activate' is a custom function that runs once mob has been activated
|
|
with these paramaters (self, staticdata, def, dtime)
|
|
'on_breed' called when two similar mobs breed, paramaters are
|
|
(parent1, parent2) objects, return false to stop child from
|
|
being resized and owner/tamed flags and child textures being
|
|
applied. Function itself must spawn new child mob.
|
|
'on_grown' is called when a child mob has grown up, only paramater is
|
|
(self).
|
|
'do_punch' called when mob is punched with paramaters (self, hitter,
|
|
time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction), return
|
|
false to stop punch damage and knockback from taking place.
|
|
'custom_attack' when set this function is called instead of the normal mob
|
|
melee attack, parameters are (self, to_attack) and if true
|
|
is returned normal attack function continued.
|
|
'on_die' a function that is called when mob is killed (self, pos), also
|
|
has access to self.cause_of_death table.
|
|
'on_flop' function called when flying or swimmimng mob is no longer in
|
|
air/water, (self) paramater and return true to skip the built
|
|
in api flop feature.
|
|
'do_custom' a custom function that is called every tick while mob is
|
|
active and which has access to all of the self.* variables
|
|
e.g. (self.health for health or self.standing_in for node
|
|
status), return with 'false' to skip remainder of mob API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Internal Variables
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The mob api also has some preset variables and functions that it will remember
|
|
for each mob.
|
|
|
|
'self.health' contains current health of mob (cannot exceed
|
|
self.hp_max)

|
'self.horny' when animal fed enough it is set to true and animal can
|
|
breed with same animal
|
|
'self.hornytimer' background timer that controls breeding functions and
|

|
child_texture and be half size
|
|
'self.owner' string used to set owner of npc mobs, typically used for

|
|
"die": during death
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adding Mobs in World
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
mobs:add_mob(pos, {
|
|
name = "mobs_animal:chicken",
|
|
child = true,
|
|
owner = "singleplayer",
|
|
nametag = "Bessy",
|
|
ignore_count = true -- ignores mob count per map area
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
Returns false if mob could not be added, returns mob object if spawned ok.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removing Mob from World
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
mobs:remove(self, decrease)
|
|
|
|
Removes mob 'self' from the world and if 'decrease' is true then the mob counter
|
|
will also be decreased by one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spawning Mobs in World
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
mobs:spawn({
|
|
name = "mobs_monster:tree_monster",
|
|
nodes = {"group:leaves"},
|
|
max_light = 7,
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
Spawn functions require the following settings, some of which already have a
|
|
default setting and can be omitted:
|
|
|
|
'name' is the name of the animal/monster
|
|
'nodes' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster can
|
|
spawn on top of (defaults to {"group:dirt", "group:stone"}
|
|
'neighbors' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster will
|
|
spawn beside (default is {"air"})
|
|
'interval' is same as in register_abm() (default is 30)
|
|
'chance' is same as in register_abm() (default is 5000)
|
|
'min_light' is the minimum light level (default is 0)
|
|
'max_light' is the maximum light (default is 15)
|
|
'min_height' is the minimum height a mob can spawn (default: -31000)
|
|
'max_height' is the maximum height a mob can spawn (default is 31000)
|
|
'active_object_count' number of this type of mob to spawn at one time inside
|
|
map area (default is 1)
|
|
'day_toggle' true for day spawning, false for night or nil for
|
|
anytime
|
|
'on_spawn' is a custom function which runs after mob has spawned
|
|
and gives self and pos values.
|
|
'on_map_load' when true mobs will have a chance of spawning only
|
|
when new areas of map are loaded, interval will not be
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
The older spawn functions are still active and working but have no defaults like
|
|
the mobs:spawn, so it is recommended to use the above instead.
|
|
|
|
mobs:register_spawn(name, nodes, max_light, min_light, chance,
|
|
active_object_count, max_height, day_toggle)
|
|
|
|
mobs:spawn_specfic(name, nodes, neighbors, min_light, max_light, interval,
|
|
chance, active_object_count, min_height, max_height, day_toggle, on_spawn)
|
|
|
|
A simpler way to handle mob spawns has been added with the mobs:spawn(def)
|
|
command which uses above names to make settings clearer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
For each mob that spawns with this function is a field in mobs.spawning_mobs.
|
|
It tells if the mob should spawn or not. Default is true. So other mods can
|
|
only use the API of this mod by disabling the spawning of the default mobs in
|
|
this mod.
|
|
|
|
|
|
mobs:spawn_abm_check(pos, node, name)
|
|
|
|
This global function can be changed to contain additional checks for mobs to
|
|
spawn e.g. mobs that spawn only in specific areas and the like. By returning
|
|
true the mob will not spawn.
|
|
|
|
'pos' holds the position of the spawning mob
|
|
'node' contains the node the mob is spawning on top of
|
|
'name' is the name of the animal/monster
|
|
|
|
|
|

----------------
|
|
|
|
mobs:effect(pos, amount, texture, min_size, max_size, radius, gravity, glow, fall)
|
|
|
|
This function provides a quick way to spawn particles as an effect.

External Settings for "minetest.conf"

|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
'enable_damage' if true monsters will attack players (default is true)
|
|
'only_peaceful_mobs' if true only animals will spawn in game (default is

|
|
'mob_difficulty' sets difficulty level (health and hit damage
|
|
multiplied by this number), defaults to 1.0.

'mob_show_health' if false then punching mob will not show health status
|
|

'mob_chance_multiplier' multiplies chance of all mobs spawning and can be set
|
|
to 0.5 to have mobs spawn more or 2.0 to spawn less.

|
spawn egg.
|
|
'mobs_drop_items' when false mobs no longer drop items when they die.

|
|
|
|
Players can override the spawn chance for each mob registered by adding a line
|
|
to their minetest.conf file with a new value, the lower the value the more each
|
|
mob will spawn e.g.
|
|
|
|
mobs_animal:sheep 11000
|
|
mobs_monster:sand_monster 100
|
|
|
|
...you can also change how many of a certain mob appear in an active mapblock by
|
|
adding a comma and then a new value e.g.
|
|
|
|
mobs_animal:cow = 8000,4 <-- 4 cows per mapblock at 8000 spawn chance
|
|
mobs_monster:dirt_monster = ,20 <-- 20 dirt monsters per mapblock
|
