Right click event to spawn item at clicked location

[nimble belfry]

Trying to make a script that spawns in flint shards when a player is holding a piece of flint and clicks a stone block, but I can't seem to get the shards to spawn at all, this is my code right now:

ItemEvents.firstRightClicked("minecraft:flint", e => {
    let {player, target, item} = e
    if(target.block.id != 'minecraft:stone') return
    item.shrink(1)
    target.spawnAtLocation('blonded:flint_shard')

    let {server, level} = player
    let bpos = player.blockPosition()
    level.players.forEach(lvlplayer => {
        if(Math.sqrt(player.distanceToSqr(lvlplayer)) <= 10)
            server.runCommandSilent(`playsound item.armor.equip_iron block ${lvlplayer.username} ${bpos.x} ${bpos.y} ${bpos.z} 1 1`)
    })
})```

Which gives this error:
`[10:03:20] [Server thread/ERROR] [KubeJS Server/]: blonded/flint_knapping.js#4: Error in 'ItemEvents.firstRightClicked': TypeError: Cannot find function spawnAtLocation in object dev.latvian.mods.kubejs.entity.RayTraceResultJS@21a93d8f.`
So I can't use target.spawnAtLocation which I found in an old post, but what can I use in place of that?

ok i found block.popItemFromFace from here #1347684560313389286 message

but its saying block is not defined now

i guess because this is an item event and not a block event?

where I'm at now:

ItemEvents.firstRightClicked("minecraft:flint", e => {
    let {player, target, item} = e
    if(target.block.id != 'minecraft:stone') return
    item.shrink(1)
    block.popItemFromFace("blonded:flint_shard", "up")

    let {server, level} = player
    let bpos = player.blockPosition()
    level.players.forEach(lvlplayer => {
        if(Math.sqrt(player.distanceToSqr(lvlplayer)) <= 10)
            server.runCommandSilent(`playsound item.armor.equip_iron block ${lvlplayer.username} ${bpos.x} ${bpos.y} ${bpos.z} 1 1`)
    })
})```

ok after finding this https://github.com/KubeJS-Mods/KubeJS/discussions/714 i can now get my flint shards to pop out of blocks, but i don't know how to incorperate it into my "if player is holding flint" and "if player is looking at stone"

BlockEvents.rightClicked('minecraft:stone', event => {
  // pop an item into the world
  event.block.popItemFromFace('blonded:flint_shard', event.facing)
  // or even have a percent chance to drop it/another one (this is 25%)
})```

https://www.mcmod.cn/post/4580.html ok after finding this post, i'm like 90% there

  let block = event.block
  if (block.hasTag("forge:stones")) {
    let player = event.player
    if(player.getMainHandItem() == Item.of("minecraft:flint")) {
      let loot = [
        "blonded:flint_shard"
      ]
      let random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2 * loot.length)
      let dropItem = Item.of(loot[random])
      block.popItemFromFace(dropItem,event.facing)
      player.swingArm(event.hand)
    }
  }
})```
Only problem with this is it gives an error saying it can't find function swingArm

so seems like maybe the player.swingArm is for 1.18 only

is there a replacement in 1.20.1

oh also dont know how to make the stack their holding shrink now with this

[near birch]

try something like this, this I copied over from one of my rlcraft renewed pack im working on that replicates the old NoTreePunching knapping logic ```js
BlockEvents.rightClicked(event => {
let { player, block, server } = event
let item = player.mainHandItem
let air = player.mainHandItem.id == 'minecraft:air'
if (
(event.hand == 'OFF_HAND' ||
!block.hasTag('minecraft:base_stone_overworld') ||
air ||
item.count <= 0 ||
item.id != 'minecraft:flint')
) return
player.swing()
if (Math.random() >= 0.5) {
item.count--
block.popItemFromFace('2x kubejs:flint_shard', "up")
}
})

you can also play a sound with level.playSound like so #1364754026926968882 message

the eat sound should be playable like this as well off leveljs level.playSound(null, entity.x, entity.y, entity.z, "minecraft:entity.generic.eat", "players", 0.5, 0.9)

[nimble belfry]

this is perfect thanks, where do i add the sound effect now?

oh

[near birch]

yeah, wherever you swing your hand basically

[near birch]

also if you copy this dont forget to define both entity and level correctly

[nimble belfry]

how would I define level? and do i have my let entity = player.blockPosition()?

[nimble belfry]

also this is giving me a syntax thing where "server" is never used should I just remove that from the let {}?

the (Math.random() >= 0.5) { is making it a 50/50 chance correct

[near birch]

this is not a syntax error, that is vsc saying you dont use it anywhere and it will not error if you leave it though yes you can remove it. also what i meant by defining level and entity is in javascript you need to define variables for them to be used. js let entity = event.entity let level = event.level
ect.
as for the last question Math.random() will return a floating point number between 0 and 1, checking if it's greater than or equal to 0.5 would indeed give it a 50 percent chance of success or failure

[nimble belfry]

awesome tysm for the help

everything working now

final code:

BlockEvents.rightClicked(event => {
    let { player, block, server } = event
    let item = player.mainHandItem
    let air = player.mainHandItem.id == 'minecraft:air'
    if (
        (event.hand == 'OFF_HAND' ||
            !block.hasTag('minecraft:base_stone_overworld') ||
            air ||
            item.count <= 0 ||
            item.id != 'minecraft:flint')
    ) return
    player.swing()
    if (Math.random() >= 0.5) {
        item.count--
        block.popItemFromFace('2x blonded:flint_shard', "up")
    }


    let entity = event.entity
    let level = event.level
    level.playSound(null, entity.x, entity.y, entity.z, "minecraft:entity.generic.eat", "players", 0.5, 0.9)
})```

will make it not play an eating sound later lol

[tall forum]

Ticket re-opened!

[nimble belfry]

@near birch am I able to define a sound event not listed in minecrafts sounds.json?

[near birch]

anything that is available to you via the /playsound command yes

as long as its registered as an actual sound event

[nimble belfry]

BlockEvents.rightClicked(event => {
    let { player, block, server } = event
    let item = player.mainHandItem
    let air = player.mainHandItem.id == 'minecraft:air'
    if (
        (event.hand == 'OFF_HAND' ||
            !block.hasTag('minecraft:base_stone_overworld') ||
            air ||
            item.count <= 0 ||
            item.id != 'minecraft:flint')
    ) return
    player.swing()
    if (Math.random() >= 0.5) {
        item.count--
        block.popItemFromFace('2x blonded:flint_shard', "up")
    }


    let entity = event.entity
    let level = event.level
    level.playSound(null, entity.x, entity.y, entity.z, "blonded:block.knapping", "players", 0.5, 0.9)
})```

its giving a crazy long error when i do this

i can /playsound blonded:knapping fine

[fleet plaza]

Never say 'it crashed', 'it errored', or 'it didn't work' without providing the full scripts and log/crash report!

[fleet plaza]

Paste version of message.txt from @nimble belfry

[nimble belfry]

this is my sounds.json file:

  "knapping": {
    "category": "block",
    "subtitle": "blonded.subtitle.knapping",
    "sounds": [
      "blonded:knapping/1",
      "blonded:knapping/2",
      "blonded:knapping/3",
      "blonded:knapping/4"
    ]
  }
}```

[near birch]

it wouldnt be block.knapping

[nimble belfry]

🧐

[near birch]

try blonded:knapping

cause i believe it goes off this js "knapping": {

[nimble belfry]

hm same crazy long error

[near birch]

ok, whats your file path for this?

and do you have a startup registry?

[nimble belfry]

Blonded\minecraft\kubejs\assets\blonded\sounds\knapping

oh

[near birch]

you need a startup registry for it to be registered as a sound event

StartupEvents.registry('sound_event', event => {
event.create('minecraft:dragonfire_breath')
})```

[nimble belfry]

ohhhhh

thank you

[near birch]

wait sec

there

[nimble belfry]

for some reason just thought i would be able to load them in as resource packs

[near birch]

you can

it just wont be available to the java/server side

only to /playsound command

[nimble belfry]

ah i see

so it would be:

StartupEvents.registry('knapping', event => {
event.create('minecraft:knapping')
})```

[near birch]

no

[nimble belfry]

oh yeah

StartupEvents.registry('knapping', event => {
event.create('blonded:knapping')
})```

[near birch]

closer but still no

[nimble belfry]

or do i need the ID on the first row too

[near birch]

"knapping" is not a registry

[nimble belfry]

oh

BLOCK

[near birch]

nope

what did my original message have there

[nimble belfry]

oh lmfao

im overcomplicating

[near birch]

lmao all g

[nimble belfry]

StartupEvents.registry('sound_event', event => {
event.create('blonded:knapping')
})```

[near birch]

but yeah try that out and lmk

yup

[nimble belfry]

works now thank you
