RUNES' API
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
(as accurate as possible)
|
|
|
|
# 1. How it **does** work
|
|
|
|
Every rune registered uses the same method to work and access its environment. Runes are first registered using a specific function.
|
|
Their datas are stored somewhere in a namespace (see below). You can use multiple values to indicate the needed amount of mana, the type of
|
|
the rune, its texture(s), etc. Then, once a rune is registered (as an item, for minetest), the most important thing is to connect its handler(s).
|
|
Another specific function is used to this, where you pass as an argument the reference to a function receiving the parameters of the item/node's callback
|
|
(eg. on_punch, on_dig, on_use, etc). The handler can choose to return "true" in order to manage the use of mana by itself instead of letting the
|
|
item's code in minetest.registered_items[rune].callback do it.
|
|
|
|
# Functions
|
|
|
|
#### `runes.register_rune(parameters)`
|
|
The most important function. This is the function you use to declare your rune and its specifications to minetest itself.
|
|
It takes one argument, a table. This table can have the following articles :
|
|
- `name` is mandatory, it's the rune's name (which will be used to craft its itemstring : runes:rune_name_level)
|
|
- `desc` is the item's description
|
|
- `img` is another table :
|
|
- ["minor"] = texture_file
|
|
- ["medium"] = texture_file
|
|
- ["major"] = texture_file
|
|
None of these parameters are mandatory. Runes can have 1 or 2 or 3 levels (ok, not implemented yet, but it's coming).
|
|
You can use a single value like `img = texture_file` and the texture will be applied for all levels
|
|
- `type` is the type of rune. At the moment, three types are available :
|
|
- "craftitem" will register a craftitem
|
|
- "cube" will register a node
|
|
- "plate" will register a little slab 0.1 node thin
|
|
- `needed_mana` is yet another table with different levels :
|
|
- ["minor"] = value
|
|
- ["medium"] = value
|
|
- ["major"] = value
|
|
When using this rune at level "major", the ["major"] value of mana will be taken by default if the player has enough mana,
|
|
or it will be forbidden for him to use the rune if he doesn't have enough mana.
|
|
You don't have to indicate that parameter and just let the handler manage the mana.
|
|
|
|
#### `runes.functions.connect(itemname, callback, handler)`
|
|
This function will connect a registered rune's callback to its handler. It takes three mandatory arguments :
|
|
- `itemname` is the rune's identification name (aka. `name` for earlier). The same handler is used for every level
|
|
of a rune, so it has to determine what level he will handle (it's actually passed to it)
|
|
- `callback` is a code identifying the callback. It can be :
|
|
- `use` for `on_use`
|
|
- `place` for `after_place_node`
|
|
- `dig` for `after_dig_node` (actually commented due to bugs in this section)
|
|
- `can_dig` for `can_dig` (true logic)
|
|
- `punch` for `on_punch` (rather logic too)
|
|
- `handler` is the function handling the callback. See below for details.
|
|
Do not hesitate to consult lua_api.txt in order to see which callbacks are handled by what type of runes (craftitems, and nodes).
|
|
|
|
#### `runes.functions.register_amulet(name, desc, maxcount, manadiff)`
|
|
Amulets are special items able to increase the maximum of mana you can stock. Here are the arguments expected to register an amulet :
|
|
- `name` is its name, used to create its itemstring : 'runes:name_amulet'
|
|
Don't feel forced to use '_amulet' in an amulet name, it's completly useless.
|
|
- `desc` is the item description.
|
|
- `maxcount` represents the maximum amount of this amulet you can have per stack (aka `stack_max`, see lua_api.txt for this).
|
|
- `manadiff` is the amount of space you will get to stock more mana in your inventory. A global_step loop is charged with the task
|
|
of regulary looking into everyone's rune inventory to calculate every player's max_mana. If you loose amulets, your mana_max
|
|
will dicrease (and mana may be lost with it).
|
|
|
|
#### `runes.functions.register_detached_inventory(player)`
|
|
This function is only important for rune's inners. It registers a detached inventory to contain runes. Do not bother using it, there is no
|
|
actual use of it out of runes' core.
|
|
|
|
#### `runes.functions.save_detached_inventory(player)`
|
|
Saves player's rune inventory on hard drive (in minetest.get_worldpath() .. "/runes/" .. player:get_player_name() .. "_rune.inv").
|
|
|
|
# Namespaces
|
|
|
|
Here are a few namespaces that could be useful :
|
|
- `runes` global namespace, contains everything. Note : When [this](https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/2039) is merged, do what we have to do.
|
|
- `runes.datas` miscellaneous datas, including tables with parameters transmitted to the registration functions.
|
|
- `runes.datas.item`, the item's datas transmitted to registration
|
|
- `runes.datas.handlers`, handlers of everynodes (the index of this dictionnary is the rune's name)
|
|
- `runes.datas.amulets`, amulet's datas, used for the global_step loop and registration
|
|
- `runes.functions`, multiple useful functions
