API for adding MineClone 2 fences

This API allows you to add fences and fence gates. The recommended function is mcl_fences.register_fence_and_fence_gate.

mcl_fences.register_fence = function(id, fence_name, texture, groups, connects_to, sounds)

Adds a fence without crafting recipe. A single node is created.

Parameter

• id: A part of the itemstring of the node to create. The node name will be “<modname>:<id>”
• fence_name: User-visible name (description)
• texture: Texture to apply on the fence (all sides)
• groups: Table of groups to which the fence belongs to
• hardness: Hardness (if unsure, pick the hardness of the material node)
• blast_resistance: Blast resistance (if unsure, pick the blast resistance of the material node)
• connects_to: Table of nodes (itemstrings) to which the fence will connect to. Use group:<groupname> for all members of the group <groupname>
• sounds: Node sound table for the fence

Return value

The full itemstring of the new fence node.

Notes: Fences will always have the group fence=1. They will always connect to solid nodes (group solid=1).

mcl_fences.register_fence_gate = function(id, fence_gate_name, texture, groups, sounds, sound_open, sound_close, sound_gain_open, sound_gain_close)

Adds a fence gate without crafting recipe. This will create 2 nodes.

Parameters

• id: A part of the itemstring of the nodes to create. The node names will be “<modname>:<id>_gate” and “<modname>:<id>_gate_open”
• fence_gate_name: User-visible name (description)
• texture: Texture to apply on the fence gate (all sides)
• groups: Table of groups to which the fence gate belongs to
• hardness: Hardness (if unsure, pick the hardness of the material node)
• blast_resistance: Blast resistance (if unsure, pick the blast resistance of the material node)
• sounds: Node sound table for the fence gate
• sound_open: Sound to play when opening fence gate (optional, default is wooden sound)
• sound_close: Sound to play when closing fence gate (optional, default is wooden sound)
• sound_gain_open: Gain (0.0-1.0) of the opening fence gate sound (optional, default is 0.3)
• sound_gain_close: Gain (0.0-1.0) of the closing fence gate sound (optional, default is 0.3)

Notes: Fence gates will always have the group fence_gate=1. The open fence gate will always have the group not_in_creative_inventory=1.

Return value

This function returns 2 values, in the following order:

1. Itemstring of the closed fence gate
2. Itemstring of the open fence gate

mcl_fences.register_fence_and_fence_gate = function(id, fence_name, fence_gate_name, texture, groups, connects_to, sounds, sound_open, sound_close, sound_gain_open, sound_gain_close)

Registers a fence and fence gate. This is basically a combination of the two functions above. This is the recommended way to add a fence / fence gate pair. This will register 3 nodes in total without crafting recipes.

• id: A part of the itemstring of the nodes to create.
• fence_name: User-visible name (description) of the fence
• fence_gate_name: User-visible name (description) of the fence gate
• texture: Texture to apply on the fence and fence gate (all sides)
• groups: Table of groups to which the fence and fence gate belong to
• hardness: Hardness (if unsure, pick the hardness of the material node)
• blast_resistance: Blast resistance (if unsure, pick the blast resistance of the material node)
• connects_to: Table of nodes (itemstrings) to which the fence will connect to. Use group:<groupname> for all members of the group <groupname>
• sounds: Node sound table for the fence and the fence gate
• sound_open: Sound to play when opening fence gate (optional, default is wooden sound)
• sound_close: Sound to play when closing fence gate (optional, default is wooden sound)
• sound_gain_open: Gain (0.0-1.0) of the opening fence gate sound (optional, default is 0.3)
• sound_gain_close: Gain (0.0-1.0) of the closing fence gate sound (optional, default is 0.3)

Return value

This function returns 3 values, in this order:

1. Itemstring of the fence
2. Itemstring of the closed fence gate
3. Itemstring of the open fence gate
