A simple tape measure for Minetest.
Usage 🔗
Punch a node to set the start position, punch another node to set the end position. The distance and size will be displayed in chat.
The distance is the real vector distance between the two positions. The size is the dimensions in nodes of a imaginary box that contains both points.
You can also right-click a node to set a temporary waypoint, which can be useful for larger measurements. Waypoints can be cleared by right-clicking the same position, or by right-clicking while not pointing at a node.
If you hold sneak while setting a position or waypoint, the position of the adjacent node will be used instead. If you hold the "special" key, your player position will be used.
Simple for using,
Very simple and intuitive for using, without any ballast. Design simble, without any "rays to eyes". But, one thing could be good to be added as a new tool: multi-point meter. For example, right-click to first point and left-click to any other point, with addition of lenght. On last point, use rightclick and it says to chat. It could be so much useful for building AdvTrains railways and doing timetables of trains.
