# Projectiles API
|
|
|
|
## `vl_projectile.register(entity_name, def)`
|
|
|
|
Registers a projectile entity.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
* `entity_name`: The name the entity will be refered to by the minetest engine
|
|
* `def`: Projectile defintion. Supports all fields that standard minetest entities support.
|
|
Must include the field `_vl_projectile` for projectile-specific behaviors. These are the supported
|
|
fields:
|
|
* `survive_collision`: if this field is `false` or `nil`, the projectile will be removed after a collision.
|
|
* `sticks_in_players`: if true, the projectile will stick into players after colliding with them.
|
|
* `damage_groups`: damage group information to use for `punch()`. May be a function of type `function(projectile, entity_def, projectile_def, obj)`
|
|
that returns dynamic damange group information.
|
|
* `allow_punching`: will the projectile punch entities it collieds with. May be a function of type `function(projectile, entity_def, projectile_def, obj)`.
|
|
* `behaviors`: a list of behavior callbacks that define the projectile's behavior. This mod provides two
|
|
behaviors: `vl_projectiles.collides_with_solids`, `vl_projectiles.collides_with_entities` and `vl_projectiles_raycast_collieds_with_entities`
|
|
* `sounds`: sounds for this projectile. All fields take a table with three parameters corresponding to the
|
|
three parameters for `minetest.play_sound()`. Supported sounds are:
|
|
* `on_collision`: played when no other more specific sound is defined. May be a function of type `function(projectile, entity_def, projectile_def, type, ...)`
|
|
* `on_solid_collision`: played when the projectile collides with a solid node. May be a function of type
|
|
`funciton(projectile, entity_def, projectile_def, type, pos, node, node_def)` with `type = "node"`
|
|
* `on_entity_collision`: played when the projectile collieds with another entity. May be a function of type
|
|
`function(projectile, entity_def, projectile_def, type, entity)` with `type = "entity"`
|
|
* `on_collide_with_solid`: callback of type `function(projectile, pos, node, node_def)` used when the projectile collides with a solid node. Requires
|
|
`vl_projectile.collides_with_solids` in `behaviors` list.
|
|
* `on_collide_with_entity`: callback of type `function(projectile, pos, obj)` used when the projectile collides with an entity. Requires
|
|
`vl_projectile.collides_with_entities` in `behaviors` list.
|
|
|
|
## `vl_projectile.update_projectile(self, dtime)`
|
|
|
|
Performs standard projectile update logic and runs projectile behaviors.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
* `self`: The lua entity of the projectile to update
|
|
* `dtime`: The amount of time that has passed since the last update. Nomally the `dtime`
|
|
parameter of the entity's `on_step(self, dtime)` callback.
|
|
|
|
## `vl_projectile.create(entity_id, options)`
|
|
|
|
Creates a projectile and performs convenience initialization.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
* `entity_id`: The name the entity as passed to `vl_projectile.register()`
|
|
* `options`: A table with optional parameters. Supported fields are:
|
|
* `dir`: direction the projectile is moving in
|
|
* `velocity`: scalar velocity amount
|
|
* `drag`: scalar resistence to velocity
|
|
* `owner`: passed thru unmodified
|
|
* `extra`: passed thru unmodified
|
|
|
|
## Custom Projectile Behaviors
|
|
|
|
The projectile API supports specifying the behaviors that a projectile will exhibit. There are several
|
|
standard behaviors provided with the API:
|
|
|
|
* `vl_projectile.collides_with_solids`: handles collisions between projectiles and solid nodes
|
|
* `vl_projectile.collides_with_entities`: handles collisions between projectiles and entities by checking nearby entities
|
|
* `vl_projectile.raycast_collides_with_entities`: handles collisions between projectils and entities by performing a raycast
|
|
check along the path of movement.
|
|
|
|
Custom behaviors can be provided by adding a function with the signature `function(self, dtime, entity_def, projectile_def)`
|
|
to the list of behaviors a projectile supports.
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
|
|
* `self`: The lua entity of the projectile
|
|
* `dtime`: The amount of time that has passed since the last update. Nomally the `dtime`
|
|
parameter of the entity's `on_step(self, dtime)` callback.
|
|
* `entity_def`: The definition from `minetest.registered_entities` for the projectile.
|
|
* `projectile_def`: Same as `entity_def._vl_projectile`
