Add item to player's inventory?

[randomproof]

What is the best way to put an item in a player's inventory? I have this function:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_placenode(function(pos, newnode, placer)
    o = GetNodeOwner(pos)
    if o ~= nil then
        if o ~= placer:get_player_name() then
            minetest.chat_send_player(placer:get_player_name(), "Node owned by " .. o)
            minetest.env:remove_node(pos)
            --TODO: add node back into placer's inv
           
        end
    end
end)


And I can't seem to work out the InvRef and ItemStack functions to put 'newnode' back into 'placer' inventory.

old :
local pinv = placer:get_inventory()
pinv:autoinsert_stackstring("main", 'node "portal:rune_seed" 1')

with new itemdef:
placer:get_inventory():add_item("throwing:arrow 1") --????

The player "class" also has an add_to_inventory function (I don't think it's changed with itemdef, except for the item/stack string format).

@jn nope, add_to_inventory and add_to_inventory_later have been removed with itemdef, since get_inventory():add_item(...) does the same job and is a more generic interface. Nemo08's code is almost right, but add_item is missing the list argument:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

placer:get_inventory():add_item("main", "throwing:arrow 1")


See experimental/init.lua (TNT:on_punch) for another example.

Thank you, all.

for some reason i this in not working for me:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

minetest.register_on_placenode(function(pos, newnode, placer)
    if not IsPlayerNodeOwner(pos, placer:get_player_name()) then
        minetest.chat_send_player(placer:get_player_name(), "You can not place nodes here.")
       
        --add node back into placer's inv
        leftover = placer:get_inventory():add_item("main", newnode.name .. ' 1')
               
        minetest.env:remove_node(pos)
    end
end)


Nodes just disappear from my inventory.

Figured it out. What I am doing here is overwritten in builtin.lua minetest.item_place_node.
