VoxelManip.find_nodes_in_area #14926

Open kno10 opened 1 month ago

kno10 commented 1 month ago

Problem

To use minetest.find_nodes_in_area you have to first write the data back from voxelmanip before you can do more manipulations.

Solutions

Add similar functionality to the voxel manipulator directly.

Alternatives

Any benefits of writing back? It seems to be rather costly.

Additional context

No response

As of 62629939ff creating a API function for this that operates on VManips is trivial.

It would also be nice to have get_node_raw in VManips, as a public API. Maybe it is beneficial to implement get_node_at then in Lua instead of C++, as done for minetest.get_node?
