Mobs Redo: MineClone 2 Edition
API documentation
==============================

Welcome to the world of mobs in Minetest and hopefully an easy guide to defining
your own mobs and having them appear in your worlds.


Registering Mobs
----------------

To register a mob and have it ready for use requires the following function:

	mobs:register_mob(name, definition)

The 'name' of a mob usually starts with the mod name it's running from followed
by it's own name e.g.

	"mobs_monster:sand_monster" or "mymod:totally_awesome_beast"

... and the 'definition' is a table which holds all of the settings and
functions needed for the mob to work properly which contains the following:

	'nametag'		contains the name which is shown above mob.
	'type'			holds the type of mob that inhabits your world e.g.

	mobs:gopath(self,target,callback_arrived)		pathfind a way to target and run callback on arrival



Node Replacement
----------------

Mobs can look around for specific nodes as they walk and replace them to mimic
eating.

	'replace_what'	group of items to replace e.g.
					{"farming:wheat_8", "farming:carrot_8"}
					or you can use the specific options of what, with and
					y offset by using this instead:

					}
	'replace_with'	replace with what e.g. "air" or in chickens case "mobs:egg"

	'replace_offset' +/- value to check specific node to replace

	'on_replace(self, pos, oldnode, newnode)'
		is called when mob is about to replace a node. Also called
		when not actually replacing due to mobs_griefing setting being false.
	'self'	ObjectRef of mob
	'pos'	 Position of node to replace
	'oldnode' Current node
	'newnode' What the node will become after replacing

		If false is returned, the mob will not replace the node.

		By default, replacing sets self.gotten to true and resets the object
		properties.


Custom Definition Functions
---------------------------

Along with the above mob registry settings we can also use custom functions to
enhance mob functionality and have them do many interesting things:

	'on_die'		 a function that is called when the mob is killed; the
					parameters are (self, pos). Return true to skip the builtin
					death animation and death effects
	'on_rightclick'its same as in minetest.register_entity()
	'on_blast'		is called when an explosion happens near mob when using TNT
					functions, parameters are (object, damage) and returns
					(do_damage, do_knockback, drops)
	'on_spawn'		is a custom function that runs on mob spawn with 'self' as
					variable, return true at end of function to run only once.
	'after_activate' is a custom function that runs once mob has been activated
					with these paramaters (self, staticdata, def, dtime)
	'on_breed'		called when two similar mobs breed, paramaters are
					(parent1, parent2) objects, return false to stop child from
					being resized and owner/tamed flags and child textures being
					applied.Function itself must spawn new child mob.
	'on_grown'		is called when a child mob has grown up, only paramater is
					(self).
	'do_punch'		called when mob is punched with paramaters (self, hitter,
					time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction), return
					false to stop punch damage and knockback from taking place.
	'custom_attack'when set this function is called instead of the normal mob
					melee attack, parameters are (self, to_attack).
	'on_die'		 a function that is called when mob is killed (self, pos)
	'do_custom'	a custom function that is called every tick while mob is
					active and which has access to all of the self.* variables
					e.g. (self.health for health or self.standing_in for node
					status), return with 'false' to skip remainder of mob API.


Internal Variables
------------------

The mob api also has some preset variables and functions that it will remember
for each mob.

	'self.health'		contains current health of mob (cannot exceed
						self.hp_max)
	'self.breath'		contains current breath of mob, if mob takes drowning
						damage at all (cannot exceed self.breath_max). Breath
						decreases by 1 each second while in a node with drowning
						damage and increases by 1 each second otherwise.
	'self.texture_list'contains list of all mob textures
	'self.child_texture' contains mob child texture when growing up
	'self.base_texture'contains current skin texture which was randomly
						selected from textures list
	'self.gotten'		this is used to track whether some special item has been
						gotten from the mob, for example, wool from sheep.
						Initialized as false, and the mob must set this value
						manually.
	'self.horny'		 when animal fed enough it is set to true and animal can
						breed with same animal
	'self.hornytimer'	background timer that controls breeding functions and
						mob childhood timings
	'self.child'		 used for when breeding animals have child, will use
						child_texture and be half size
	'self.owner'		 string used to set owner of npc mobs, typically used for
						dogs
	'self.order'		 set to "follow" or "stand" so that npc will follow owner
						or stand it's ground
	'self.state'		 Current mob state.
						"stand": no movement (except turning around)
						"walk": walk or move around aimlessly
						"attack": chase and attack enemy
						"runaway": flee from target
						"flop": bounce around aimlessly
								(for swimming mobs that have stranded)
						"die": during death
	'self.nametag'		contains the name of the mob which it can show above


Spawning Mobs in World
----------------------

mobs:register_spawn(name, nodes, max_light, min_light, chance,
	active_object_count, max_height, day_toggle)

mobs:spawn_specfic(name, nodes, neighbors, min_light, max_light, interval,
	chance, active_object_count, min_height, max_height, day_toggle, on_spawn)

These functions register a spawn algorithm for the mob. Without this function
the call the mobs won't spawn.

	'name'				is the name of the animal/monster
	'nodes'				is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster can
						spawn on top of
	'neighbors'			is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster will
						spawn beside (default is {"air"} for
						mobs:register_spawn)
	'max_light'			is the maximum of light
	'min_light'			is the minimum of light
	'interval'			is same as in register_abm() (default is 30 for
						mobs:register_spawn)
	'chance'			is same as in register_abm()
	'active_object_count' number of this type of mob to spawn at one time inside
						map area
	'min_height'		is the minimum height the mob can spawn
	'max_height'		is the maximum height the mob can spawn
	'day_toggle'		true for day spawning, false for night or nil for
						anytime
	'on_spawn'			is a custom function which runs after mob has spawned
						and gives self and pos values.

A simpler way to handle mob spawns has been added with the mobs:spawn(def)
command which uses above names to make settings clearer:

	mobs:spawn({name = "mobs_monster:tree_monster",
		nodes = {"group:leaves"},
		max_light = 7,
	})


For each mob that spawns with this function is a field in mobs.spawning_mobs.
It tells if the mob should spawn or not.Default is true.So other mods can
only use the API of this mod by disabling the spawning of the default mobs in
this mod.


mobs:spawn_abm_check(pos, node, name)

This global function can be changed to contain additional checks for mobs to
spawn e.g. mobs that spawn only in specific areas and the like.By returning
true the mob will not spawn.

	'pos'	holds the position of the spawning mob
	'node'	contains the node the mob is spawning on top of
	'name'	is the name of the animal/monster

	'only_peaceful_mobs'	if true only animals will spawn in game (default is
							false)
	'mobs_disable_blood'	if false, damage effects appear when mob is hit (default
							is false)
	'mobs_spawn_protected'	if set to false then mobs will not spawn in protected
							areas (default is true)
	'mob_difficulty'		sets difficulty level (health and hit damage
							multiplied by this number), defaults to 1.0.
	'mob_spawn_chance'		multiplies chance of all mobs spawning and can be set
							to 0.5 to have mobs spawn more or 2.0 to spawn less.
							e.g.1 in 7000 * 0.5 = 1 in 3500 so better odds of
							spawning.
	'mobs_spawn'			 if false then mobs no longer spawn without spawner or
							spawn egg.
	'mobs_drop_items'		when false mobs no longer drop items when they die.
	'mobs_griefing'			when false mobs cannot break blocks when using either
							pathfinding level 2, replace functions or mobs:boom
							function.

Players can override the spawn chance for each mob registered by adding a line
to their minetest.conf file with a new value, the lower the value the more each
mob will spawn e.g.

mobs_animal:sheep_chance 11000
mobs_monster:sand_monster_chance 100
