Parties docs

Because it's always good to understand the API without surfing the code, innit? :D

1 API

1.1 Utils

• parties.is_player_invited(p_name): (bool) checks whether a player has a pending invite
• parties.is_player_in_party(p_name, <party_leader>): (bool) checks whether a player is in any party. If party_leader is specified, it checks whether if the player is in that party leader's party
• parties.is_player_party_leader(p_name): (bool) checks whether a player is the party leader of any party
• parties.chat_send_party(p_name, msg, as_broadcast): (nil) sends a message to every player inside the party where p_name is (p_name doesn't necessarily have to be the party leader). If as_broadcast is true, it'll be sent without following Minetest chat format. If false, p_name will be pointed as the sender when formatting the message
• parties.change_party_leader(old_leader, new_leader): (nil) changes the party leader
• parties.cancel_invite(p_name, inviter): (nil) cancels a pending invite from inviter
• parties.cancel_invites(p_name): (nil) cancels all the pending invites of p_name

1.2 Getters

• parties.get_inviters(p_name): (table) returns a table containing as key the name(s) of the player(s) who invited p_name
• parties.get_party_leader(p_name): (string) returns the party leader of the party where p_name is in, or nil if it's not in a party
• parties.get_party_members(p_name, <online_only>): (table) returns a table containing as value the name(s) of the player(s) inside the party where p_name is in, or nil if it's not in a party. online_only is an optional boolean that, when true, only returns the members who are currently online

2 Customisation

2.1 Callbacks

• parties.register_on_pre_party_invite(function(sender, p_name)): use it to run additional checks. Returning true keeps executing the invite, returning false/nil cancels it
• parties.register_on_party_invite(function(sender, p_name)): called when an invite has been successfully sent
• parties.register_on_pre_party_join(function(pt_leader, p_name)): use it to run additional checks. Returning true keeps executing the join function, returning false/nil cancels it
• parties.register_on_party_join(function(party_leader, p_name)): called when a player successfully joins a party. It also runs on the party leader when they create the party
• parties.register_on_party_leave(function(party_leader, p_name, reason)): called when a player leaves a party, before they get removed. reason is an int:
  • 1: left
  • 2: kick
  • 3: party disbanded

2.2 Chat

Chat is light blue by default and it adds the [Party] prefix at the beginning of every message. It then follows the format of the chat set by the owner. By default is: [Party] <playername> message
