This prevents nodes that are not of the "facedir" paramtype2,
as these are generally not expected to be able to rotate. Mods
and other methods may still manipulate param2 of these nodes
as expected.
Addresses #712
local node = minetest.get_node(pos)
local ndef = minetest.registered_nodes[node.name]
+ -- verify node is facedir (expected to be rotatable)
+ if ndef.paramtype2 ~= "facedir" then
+ return
+ end
-- Compute param2
local rotationPart = node.param2 % 32 -- get first 4 bits
local preservePart = node.param2 - rotationPart
