  230. Node Replacement
  231. ----------------
  232. Mobs can look around for specific nodes as they walk and replace them to mimic
  233. eating.
  234. 'replace_what' group of items to replace e.g.
  235. {"farming:wheat_8", "farming:carrot_8"}
  236. or you can use the specific options of what, with and
  237. y offset by using this instead:
  238. {
  239. {"group:grass", "air", 0},
  240. {"default:dirt_with_grass", "default:dirt", -1}
  241. }
  242. 'replace_with' replace with what e.g. "air" or in chickens case "mobs:egg"
  243. 'replace_rate' how random should the replace rate be (typically 10)
  244. 'replace_offset' +/- value to check specific node to replace
  245. 'on_replace(self, pos, oldnode, newnode)' is called when mob is about to
  246. replace a node.
  247. 'self' ObjectRef of mob
  248. 'pos' Position of node to replace
  249. 'oldnode' Current node
  250. 'newnode' What the node will become after replacing
  251. If false is returned, the mob will not replace the node.
  252. By default, replacing sets self.gotten to true and resets the object
  253. properties. (DEPRECATED, use on_replace to make changes).
  254. Custom Definition Functions
  255. ---------------------------
  256. Along with the above mob registry settings we can also use custom functions to
  257. enhance mob functionality and have them do many interesting things:
  258. 'on_die' a function that is called when the mob is killed the
  259. parameters are (self, pos)
  260. 'on_rightclick' its same as in minetest.register_entity()
  261. 'on_blast' is called when an explosion happens near mob when using TNT
  262. functions, parameters are (object, damage) and returns
  263. (do_damage, do_knockback, drops)
  264. 'on_spawn' is a custom function that runs on mob spawn with 'self' as
  265. variable, return true at end of function to run only once.
  266. 'after_activate' is a custom function that runs once mob has been activated
  267. with these paramaters (self, staticdata, def, dtime)
  268. 'on_breed' called when two similar mobs breed, paramaters are
  269. (parent1, parent2) objects, return false to stop child from
  270. being resized and owner/tamed flags and child textures being
  271. applied. Function itself must spawn new child mob.
  272. 'on_grown' is called when a child mob has grown up, only paramater is
  273. (self).
  274. 'do_punch' called when mob is punched with paramaters (self, hitter,
  275. time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction), return
  276. false to stop punch damage and knockback from taking place.
  277. 'custom_attack' when set this function is called instead of the normal mob
  278. melee attack, parameters are (self, to_attack) and if true
  279. is returned normal attack function continued.
  280. 'on_die' a function that is called when mob is killed (self, pos), also
  281. has access to self.cause_of_death table.
  282. 'on_flop' function called when flying or swimmimng mob is no longer in

  288. status), return with 'false' to skip remainder of mob API.
  289. Internal Variables
  290. ------------------
  291. The mob api also has some preset variables and functions that it will remember
  292. for each mob.
  293. 'self.health' contains current health of mob (cannot exceed
  294. self.hp_max)

  302. breed with same animal
  303. 'self.hornytimer' background timer that controls breeding functions and
  304. mob childhood timings
  305. 'self.child' used for when breeding animals have child, will use
  306. child_texture and be half size
  307. 'self.owner' string used to set owner of npc mobs, typically used for
  308. dogs
  309. 'self.order' set to "follow" or "stand" so that npc will follow owner

  317. "flop": bounce around aimlessly
  318. (for swimming mobs that have stranded)
  319. "die": during death
  320. Adding Mobs in World
  321. --------------------
  322. mobs:add_mob(pos, {
  323. name = "mobs_animal:chicken",
  324. child = true,
  325. owner = "singleplayer",
  326. nametag = "Bessy",
  327. ignore_count = true -- ignores mob count per map area
  328. })
  329. Returns false if mob could not be added, returns mob object if spawned ok.
  330. Removing Mob from World
  331. -----------------------
  332. mobs:remove(self, decrease)
  333. Removes mob 'self' from the world and if 'decrease' is true then the mob counter
  334. will also be decreased by one.
  335. Spawning Mobs in World
  336. ----------------------
  337. mobs:spawn({
  338. name = "mobs_monster:tree_monster",
  339. nodes = {"group:leaves"},
  340. max_light = 7,
  341. })
  342. Spawn functions require the following settings, some of which already have a
  343. default setting and can be omitted:
  344. 'name' is the name of the animal/monster
  345. 'nodes' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster can
  346. spawn on top of (defaults to {"group:dirt", "group:stone"}
  347. 'neighbors' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster will
  348. spawn beside (default is {"air"})
  349. 'interval' is same as in register_abm() (default is 30)
  350. 'chance' is same as in register_abm() (default is 5000)
  351. 'min_light' is the minimum light level (default is 0)
  352. 'max_light' is the maximum light (default is 15)
  353. 'min_height' is the minimum height a mob can spawn (default: -31000)
  354. 'max_height' is the maximum height a mob can spawn (default is 31000)
  355. 'active_object_count' number of this type of mob to spawn at one time inside
  356. map area (default is 1)
  357. 'day_toggle' true for day spawning, false for night or nil for
  358. anytime
  359. 'on_spawn' is a custom function which runs after mob has spawned
  360. and gives self and pos values.
  361. 'on_map_load' when true mobs will have a chance of spawning only
  362. when new areas of map are loaded, interval will not be
  363. used.
  364. The older spawn functions are still active and working but have no defaults like
  365. the mobs:spawn, so it is recommended to use the above instead.
  366. mobs:register_spawn(name, nodes, max_light, min_light, chance,
  367. active_object_count, max_height, day_toggle)
  368. mobs:spawn_specfic(name, nodes, neighbors, min_light, max_light, interval,
  369. chance, active_object_count, min_height, max_height, day_toggle, on_spawn)
  370. A simpler way to handle mob spawns has been added with the mobs:spawn(def)
  371. command which uses above names to make settings clearer:
  372. For each mob that spawns with this function is a field in mobs.spawning_mobs.
  373. It tells if the mob should spawn or not. Default is true. So other mods can
  374. only use the API of this mod by disabling the spawning of the default mobs in
  375. this mod.
  376. mobs:spawn_abm_check(pos, node, name)
  377. This global function can be changed to contain additional checks for mobs to
  378. spawn e.g. mobs that spawn only in specific areas and the like. By returning
  379. true the mob will not spawn.
  380. 'pos' holds the position of the spawning mob
  381. 'node' contains the node the mob is spawning on top of
  382. 'name' is the name of the animal/monster

  426. 'rotate' integer value in degrees to rotate arrow
  427. 'on_step' is a custom function when arrow is active, nil for
  428. default.

  600. mobs_animal:sheep 11000
  601. mobs_monster:sand_monster 100
  602. ...you can also change how many of a certain mob appear in an active mapblock by
  603. adding a comma and then a new value e.g.
  604. mobs_animal:cow = 8000,4 <-- 4 cows per mapblock at 8000 spawn chance
  605. mobs_monster:dirt_monster = ,20 <-- 20 dirt monsters per mapblock
