Items are falling out of carts #1770

Open anton-tsyganenko opened 7 years ago

anton-tsyganenko commented 7 years ago

I'm not sure if it's a bug (or a feature) of minetest or minetest_game. If I drop items to a cart in a mine and punch it so that it move to the exit by powered rails, some items can fall out from it somewhere on the way.

Items in carts was an intended feature, although a minor one. @SmallJoker

Try forceloading all mapblocks where the rails go through. I believe this is caused when entities are getting unloaded, where the attachments gets lost.

anton-tsyganenko commented 7 years ago

How can I do that?

SmallJoker commented 7 years ago

Here's a mod that uses these forceload functions: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?t=10006

So i guess unfixable?

HybridDog commented 7 years ago

You could forceload the places the cart moves to until the player who started the cart leaves the game.

@SmallJoker should we remove the feature of transporting items in carts due to this?

SmallJoker commented 6 years ago

@paramat We should rather try to fix the attachment handling so the attachment data is saved after unloading the mapblock.

paramat commented 6 years ago

Agreed.

It would also help if entities could have their own inventory.
