looks like I haven't implemented get_objects_inside_radius correctly. Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention. It'll take some time for me to fully implement this as it depends on core.object_refs / minetest.object_refs. Also, implementing this feature isn't on my priority list - there're some features I'm currently working on. Could you let me know what your use case for this lua api is? There might be a better way to implement what you're trying to do instead of getting objects on globalstep.

thanks for getting back to me, i'm trying to get the dragonfire auto fish mod to work

otterminetest commented 4 months ago

I don't have the source for the mod could you send it here?

cowingtonpost1 commented 4 months ago

https://github.com/dragonfireclient/fishbot it depends on https://github.com/dragonfireclient/wasplib

I see. Thanks for sending that. Yea, it'll take me bit to fix get_objects_inside_radius but I'll update the issue here once I get that working.
