pointed_thing

Table {type = …, under = …, above = …, ref = …}

• type

• "nothing"
• "node"
• "object"

• under — position or nil
• above — position or nil
• ref — ObjectRef or nil

Notes

• The utility function minetest.get_pointed_thing_position(pointed_thing, above) can be used to calculate the position of pointed_thing without having to distinguish all possible types.

Examples

{type="nothing"}
{type="node", under=pos, above=pos}
{type="object", ref=ObjectRef}

Node coordinates are (49,6,-13), pointed_thing is {type = "node", above = {y = 7, x = 49, z = -13}, under = {y = 6, x = 49, z = -13}}

Node coordinates are (50,7,-13), pointed_thing is {type = "node", above = {y = 7, x = 49, z = -13}, under = {y = 7, x = 50, z = -13}}

Node coordinates are (49,7,-14), pointed_thing is {type = "node", above = {y = 7, x = 49, z = -13}, under = {y = 7, x = 49, z = -14}}
