Heyoo! I need some assistance with the Create addon for KubeJS.

I want a deployer holding an item (Let's say iron_ingot) to interact with a player to make a new item (Let's say brass_ingot). How would I do that?

Thanks in advance!

The XY problem is when you really want to do X, and you think that Y can achieve X. However, you can't get Y to work, and so ask for help exclusively about Y.

This can lead to a lot of confusion from the people trying to help you, as Y can seem like a very random thing to want to do, and a lot of the time isn't the best way to achieve X anyway.

Its fine to ask about Y, just always include some context about X so you can be put on the right track if Y won't do X well, or there is an easier way to do X.

Well in that case, I'll ask this one bit at a time

Can a deployer interact with an entity outside of normal minecraft interactions using these mods?

#

Since what I'm wanting to do is get milk from player using deployers

look...

#

there's a very scuffed way to do this...

#

which i do not recommend in the slightest

#

but it is possible

#

this example uses item entities

#

i MUST warn you that you shouldn't use this in any serious modpack

#

Although with players it might run a tad better

Oh sweet!
Although I'm very new at making modpacks (that's why I wanna do the small silly things lol), so how would I make it interract with players instead of items?

PlayerEvents.tick(event =>{
    // if (entity.age % 20 !== 0) return;

    const {entity} = event;

    let x = entity.getBlockX()
    let y = entity.getBlockY()
    let z = entity.getBlockZ()
    const level = entity.level
    let entityNBT = entity.nbt

    const possibleDeployers = {
        1: [-2, 0, 0, Direction.EAST],
        2: [0, 0, -2, Direction.SOUTH],
        3: [2, 0, 0, Direction.WEST],
        4: [0, 0, 2, Direction.north],
        5: [0, 2, 0, Direction.DOWN],
        6: [0, -2, 0, Direction.UP]
    }

    const directions = {
        up: Direction.UP,
        down: Direction.DOWN,
        north: Direction.NORTH,
        south: Direction.SOUTH,
        east: Direction.EAST,
        west: Direction.WEST,
    }

    for (let i = 1; i < 7; i++) {
        let sumX = possibleDeployers[i][0] + x
        let sumY = possibleDeployers[i][1] + y
        let sumZ = possibleDeployers[i][2] + z
        let correctDirection = possibleDeployers[i][3]
        let block = level.getBlock(sumX, sumY, sumZ)
        let blockFacing = block.properties.facing
        if (blockFacing === undefined) continue
        let nbt = block.entityData

        const margin = 1000 - Math.abs(nbt.Speed)
        
        if (
            block.id == 'create:deployer' &&  
            directions[blockFacing] == correctDirection &&
            nbt.Source &&
            nbt.HeldItem.id == 'minecraft:diamond_sword' && // Adds a held item requirement for the dpeloyer
            (nbt.Speed <= -128 || nbt.Speed >= 128) // Speed Requirement for the deployer to perform the recipe
            // Time margin to match the deployer animation
            nbt.State === "RETRACTING" && 
            nbt.Timer >= margin
        ){
           // resulting code here
        }
        
    }
    
})
#

I think that should do

#

i didn't test it though, wrote it all on discord

I saw this earlier but didn't have time to respond. There is a much simpler way to do this because deployers trigger events when right clicking:

let $DeployerFakePlayer  = Java.loadClass("com.simibubi.create.content.kinetics.deployer.DeployerFakePlayer");

ItemEvents.entityInteracted("minecraft:iron_ingot", event => {
    const {item, target: player, player: deployerPlayer} = event;
    if (!(deployerPlayer instanceof $DeployerFakePlayer) || !player.isPlayer()) return;

    player.tell("You've just been clicked!");
    item.count--;
    deployerPlayer.give("minecraft:gold_ingot");
})

Simply listen to ItemEvents.entityInteracted and check if its a DeployerFakePlayer player clicking another player.
