|
|
|
|
|
|
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 mob childhood timings
|
|

|
|
'self.owner' string used to set owner of npc mobs, typically used for dogs
|
|
'self.order' set to "follow" or "stand" so that npc will follow owner or stand it's ground
|
|
'self.nametag' contains the name of the mob which it can show above
|
|
'on_die' a function that is called when mob is killed
|
|
'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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
These functions register a spawn algorithm for the mob. Without this function the call the mobs won't spawn.
|
|
|
|
'name' is the name of the animal/monster
|
|
'nodes' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster can spawn on top of
|
|
'neighbors' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster will spawn beside (default is {"air"} for mobs:register_spawn)
|
|
'max_light' is the maximum of light
|
|
'min_light' is the minimum of light
|
|

|
|
'max_height' is the maximum height the mob can spawn
|
|
'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.
|
|
|
|
... also a simpler way to handle mob spawns has been added with the mobs:spawn(def) command which uses above names to make settings clearer:
|
|
|
|
mobs:spawn({name = "mobs_monster:tree_monster",
|
|
nodes = {"group:leaves"},
|
|
max_light = 7,
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
|
|
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_chance 11000 or mobs_monster:sand_monster_chance 100
|
|
|
|
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.
