Module mapmanipulator
The MapManipulator is a thin wrapper around the VoxelManip object provided by minetest.
It only capsules the VoxelManip and VoxelArea behind a few functions to minimize code.
Functions
| MapManipulator:new (minp, maxp) | Creates a new instance of MapManipulator. |
| MapManipulator:get_area () | Gets the VoxelArea for the current VoxelManip. |
| MapManipulator:get_data () | Gets the data from the VoxelManip object. |
| MapManipulator:get_node (x, z, y) | Gets the node and param2 at the given location. |
| MapManipulator:set_data (data, param2_data) | Sets the data into the VoxelManip object. |
| MapManipulator:set_node (x, z, y, node, param2) | Sets the node at the given location. |
Functions
- MapManipulator:new (minp, maxp)
-
Creates a new instance of MapManipulator.
The parameters only need to be used if you want to read from a certain area of the map. They are not needed if called from on_generated function.
Parameters:
- minp Optional. The minimum point to read the data from.
- maxp Optional. The maximum point to read the data from.
Returns:
-
A new instance.
- MapManipulator:get_area ()
-
Gets the VoxelArea for the current VoxelManip.
Returns:
-
The VoxelArea.
- MapManipulator:get_data ()
-
Gets the data from the VoxelManip object.
The data is an array that can be accessed by using the VoxelArea object.
Returns:
-
Two values, the data and the param2 data.
- MapManipulator:get_node (x, z, y)
-
Gets the node and param2 at the given location.
Parameters:
- x The x coordinate (width).
- z the z coordinate (depth).
- y The y coordinate (height).
Returns:
-
Two values, the node at the given location and the param2 value.
- MapManipulator:set_data (data, param2_data)
-
Sets the data into the VoxelManip object.
Will also correct and update the lighting, the liquids and flush the map.
Parameters:
- data Optional. The data to set. If nil the cached data will be used.
- param2_data Optional. The param2 data to set. If nil the cached data will be used.
- MapManipulator:set_node (x, z, y, node, param2)
-
Sets the node at the given location.
Parameters:
- x The x coordinate (width).
- z the z coordinate (depth).
- y The y coordinate (height).
- node The node to set.
- param2 Optional. The param2 data to set for this node.
