[candid kraken]

what do you mean by one of the mattress?

are you talking about the bed

part?

[grim quail]

I thought crash to desktop just killed you and your entire party.

[acoustic socket]

All i remember it doing is just giving me an achievement

[mossy egret]

should this command:<map[dbStats=1]> be command:[dbStats=1] instead?

(mongo command)

[plucky ingot]

phone autocorrected lmao

i meant mages

[mossy egret]

actually i think even command:dbStats=1 is also fine

[old venture]

is this a lot

[unkempt torrent]

no

[unkempt torrent]

link pls :(

[sinful spindle]

https://stats.mcmonkey.org/Plugins/denizen

it's monkey's website ^

[unkempt torrent]

yeah ik but I always forget the link

haven't saved the site yet

[sinful spindle]

neither did i lol, just spent a couple minutes in the search bar

from:mcmonkey has:link stats

[unkempt torrent]

god bless

my sever is at 501-1000 scripts

[old venture]

HOLY

[sinful spindle]

go talk to the madlads with 1001+ scripts lmao

there's 13 of them

[soft pewter]

Gigachads

[unkempt torrent]

behr sent an ex command at some day, which counts the script container_types

[old venture]

i think its safe to assume nimsy and 0tick are some of them, considering the crazy stuff they make

[sinful spindle]

would not be suprised if nimsy only has like 10 10000 line scripts

[soft pewter]

I should my count check when I get on my computer

[old venture]

as per /denizen scripts, i have 189 scripts total

[unkempt torrent]

I forgot that this thing exists lmao

but where do you see the total

that thing at the top is the page number

[sinful spindle]

/ex narrate <util.scripts.size>

[unkempt torrent]

ye that

[old venture]

oh, i counted them

i have 24 pages, each having 8 scripts, and last page having 5

23 * 8 + 5 = 189

[unkempt torrent]

Total Scripts: (525)
Yaml Files: (6)
Inventory Scripts: (18)
World Scripts: (74)
Command Scripts: (38)

[old venture]

how'd you get that 👀

[unkempt torrent]

I used that ex command that @foggy gorge sent me one day lol

[old venture]

damn now i want it too lol

[sinful spindle]

that seems

like a really long ex command

can i see it?

[unkempt torrent]

#chatter message

there it is

[sinful spindle]

oh i see

lol i think i was stuck in optimization mindset

i was thinking of like, iterating through them and sticking them in lists

but he just parses the list like 20 times

[unkempt torrent]

I somehow have still 6 Yaml files lmao

[old venture]

Total Scripts: (211)
Yaml Files: (0)
Command Scripts: (47)
Task Scripts: (64)
World Scripts: (41)
Item Scripts: (33)
Entity Scripts: (17)
Data Scripts: (4)
Inventory Scripts: (1)
Procedure Scripts: (3)
Format Scripts: (1)

211??? where did i count things wrong

[unkempt torrent]

denizen scripts doesn't seem to show all scripts

server.scripts.size outputs 525

[unkempt torrent]

I have 59 pages, so 8 * 58 -> 464

• 4 -> 468

so 57 are missing

oh no

the next pages show 9 scripts

the first one 8

[sinful spindle]

lmao

[unkempt torrent]

anyway what do you think a town plugin should provide

oh imma make it a discussion

[soft pewter]

This is my factions server:
Total Scripts: (223)
Yaml Files: (1)
World Scripts: (29)
Inventory Scripts: (22)
Format Scripts: (9)
Task Scripts: (37)
Procedure Scripts: (40)
Command Scripts: (11)
Item Scripts: (72)
Data Scripts: (3)

i honestly thought there would be more lol

[plucky ingot]

i got 328

by the end of the thing me and my friend are doing we'll probably have like 1000 or maybe even 2000 scripts lmao fuck knows

[grim quail]

Total Scripts: (1554)
Yaml Files: (2)
Item Scripts: (202)

Assignment Scripts: (9)
Interact Scripts: (9)
Enchantment Scripts: (10)
Economy Scripts: (1)

How about that.

[soft pewter]

wow!

[grim quail]

Now granted a lot of my procedures are really simple returns because I can't be bothered to always check if someone has a flag when I can just write a procedure for it.

[grim quail]

And some of my item scripts are duplicates of vanilla for the sake of ... creating vanilla slabs?

Yeah I made recipes for slabs and stuff.

[soft pewter]

still a very impressive amount!

[grim quail]

And with slabs you can cobble em back together to make the full blocks like quartz, nether bricks, etc.

Maybe?

I'm sure I could probably shove some of those task scripts into some event scripts and reduce the amount, but it's not a priority.

Not to mention some of my scripts are old and could be replaced or are considered deprecated, haha. But I'm still over 1,000 because I like having procedures and tasks for things that are being checked a lot or are lengthy enough to require a task script for.

[quartz wraith]

Good programming mindset

[unkempt torrent]

that's why I'd like to have full workspace scanning in the vscode extension

always finding an old script with some (future)-deprecated tags

[grim quail]

I try to change my scripts as soon as tags become deprecated, and it's been relatively fine for the past month until I discovered something requiring the raytrace tag last night and I told myself "I better fix that later"

[unkempt torrent]

same here

also I noticed the ray_tracing tag months ago, but haven't done it yet, just like you because I thought "oh that looks more complicated, I'll do it later"

[grim quail]

Now I have no idea where it is in my literal 1000 scripts, haha. I think it was some precise tag which I'll search my entire folder later.

[unkempt torrent]

!t location.ray_trace

[weary moth]

Tag: <LocationTag.ray_trace[(range=<#.#>/{200});(return=<{precise}/block/normal>);(default=<{null}/air>);(fluids=<true/{false}>);(nonsolids=<true/{false}>);(entities=<matcher>);(ignore=<entity>|...);(raysize=<#.#>/{0})]>

Traces a line from this location, in the direction its facing, towards whatever block it hits first, and returns the location of where it hit.
This tag has also been referred to as 'cursor_on' or 'precise_cursor_on' in the past.
Using 'return=normal' instead replaces the old 'precise_impact_normal' tag.
Optionally specify:
range: (defaults to 200) a maximum distance (in blocks) to trace before giving up.
return: (defaults to precise)
specify "precise" to return the exact location of the hit ...

Group

world

Returns

LocationTag

Examples

# Destroys whatever solid block the player is looking at.
- define target <player.eye_location.ray_trace[return=block]||null>
- if <[target]> != null:
    - modifyblock <[target]> air

# Spawns a heart wherever the player is looking, no more than 5 blocks away.
- playeffect effect:heart offset:0 at:<player.eye_location.ray_trace[range=5;entities=*;ignore=<player>;fluids=true;nonsolids=true;default=air]>

and more... Check the website for more examples

[grim quail]

That does look complicated.

[unkempt torrent]

it looks complicated but this tag just combines several other tags into one

precise_cursor_on, precise_cursor_on_block, precise_target and so on

[grim quail]

I'll have to learn it soon enough.

[unkempt torrent]

meta provides sample inputs for ray_trace within the old tags

!t location.precise_cursor_on_block

[weary moth]

Tag: <LocationTag.precise_cursor_on_block[(<range>)]>

Deprecated in favor of !tag LocationTag.ray_trace with input setting [return=block].

Group

world

Returns

LocationTag

[old venture]

wait, precise target is deprecated?

[unkempt torrent]

what tag exactly

there are multiple that begins with precise_target

not all of them a future deprecated

[grim quail]

Now let's see who has the biggest filesize possible in a script. I bet it's going to be nimsy.

Considering my largest one is 102kb because that is where all of my claim commands are, because I'm doing a lot of sub commands too and it's probably my most complicated thing I've ever made.

[unkempt torrent]

oh that's a typo, I forgot to add the _position part, precise_target isn't

[unkempt torrent]

separate them, one file for each command

[grim quail]

That's the thing.

This is one command.

[unkempt torrent]

OOOO

[grim quail]

I just got separate tasks for like /claim neighbors and other stuff.

[unkempt torrent]

one file for each possible outcome

[grim quail]

I mean I could, I think I'd have a lot of files then.

Also it's a good thing I was looking at that file because I just found a line that wasn't going to work haha, I'm surprised VSC didn't catch it.

[unkempt torrent]

reminds me I have a monster of command which I should clean up soon

[unkempt torrent]

what line, that's likely relevant for the extension

[grim quail]

https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/103410#35

I think it's because it accepts spaces? I should probably turn this into a thread, but I just noticed I was missing the && argument and that it probably wouldn't have worked without it.

Might have to write up a test file just to see if that is the case.

[unkempt torrent]

yeah, please make a post for it then

[plucky ingot]

you know

making these magicka inspired items

i thought lightning would be the hardest

now that i think about it

i should go back in time and KILL the person who added the earth element to magicka cuz this fucker took me a whole day and my head still hurts

there's so many weird fucking workarounds

[mossy egret]

Not really

[plucky ingot]

anyway here's earth

LMAO that's actually so cool!

Where's the documentation for -if x matches y. I assumed it would be in operators but it's not there.

Iirc that was requested to add somewhere

I think monkey also responded to that but not sure

Cannot Find Searched Language

Unknown language.

Possible Confusion

Did you mean to search for operator?

[sinful spindle]

i swore i saw it

[weary moth]

Language: Operator

An operator is a tool for comparing values, used by commands like !command if, !command while, !command waituntil, ... and tags like !tag ObjectTag.is.than

Available Operators include:
"Equals" is written as "==" or "equals".
"Does not equal" is written as "!=".
"Is more than" is written as ">" or "more".
"Is less than" is written as "<" or "less".
"Is more than or equal to" is written as ">=" or "or_more".
"Is less than or equal to" is written as "<=" or "or_less".
"does this list or map contain" is written as "contains". For example, "- if a|b|c contains b:" or "- if [a=1;b=2] contains b:"
"is this in the list or map" is written as "in". For example, "- if b in a|b|c:", or "- if [a=1;b=2] contains b:"

yeah look here

[sinful spindle]

"does this object or text match an advanced matcher" is written as "matches". For example, "- if <player.location.below> matches stone:"

ye

it uhh

is kind of entirely unhelpful

but it does exist lol

[reef wharf]

lol

Well, it uses the same logic as advance_matches, so I should be able to do mob matches *skeleton, correct?

[sinful spindle]

ye

[unkempt torrent]

yeah

i should probably look more into that operator lol

[plucky ingot]

charge based attack

[soft pewter]

oh that's cool haha

maybe you can increase the amount of particle effects as the charge increases?

just an idea 😄

[plucky ingot]

maybe

[fleet kernel]

you can also play the beacon charge sound

[teal sedge]

Ok that took 3 days instead of an hour but i got netblocks shared. I have a similar system I was going to use for custom spellcasting that I might go back and finish if there's any interest.

I'm moving on to figuring out a bunch of particle animations and stuff for use with these kinds of tools and scripts, so if anyone is willing to contribute to putting together a collection, gimme a yell.

[mossy egret]

it looks really cool

[teal sedge]

idk why the sound is missing from that recording, but that tool was put together to allow configuring and testing new spells or scripts or items without having to manually write them out as a script.

[mossy egret]

i really like it

is it possible for an item to cast multiple spells at the same time

[teal sedge]

Yes

[mossy egret]

ah thats great

[teal sedge]

but like

It's dodgy

I won't be touching it anytime soon but it's here if anyone else wants to take a crack at it on their own.
https://github.com/Baivo/SBG/blob/main/sandbox/Baivo/Energy_Manipulator_V2.dsc
Fair warning, I usually make jokes about my script quality, but this is literally taped together garbage that should NOT be used in a prod environment. I made this as a first time project with denizen, and there's a lot of bad practices and weird workaround even I don't remember or understand.

[mossy egret]

if this is your first project its insanely good

[teal sedge]

I have used it to make some cool stuff, this is a favourite stress relief of mine, lemme go get a recording

shame I couldn't fix the audio but you get half the experience at least

Oh it deadass recorded my shitty webcam mic

Trackpad sounds like someone using a nailgun lmao

[fleet kernel]

send the explosion script 😍

but holy shit

its like one of those premium click item plugins

its better than that

[mossy egret]

like executableitems but not shit

[teal sedge]

It's in the em2 script linked above, look for these two:

function_realblockwave
Logblock

I'll go back and remake it as a generic script for you when laptop is charged

[fleet kernel]

oh thanks

[teal sedge]

Wondering if maybe this is better done as a command system instead of a GUI.

Then I can just make each option a subcommand with tab completion instead of drilling through a gui or entering text.

[old venture]

imo command -> admin friendly
gui -> user friendly

[fleet kernel]

yes

[old venture]

"yrd"

[teal sedge]

The whole thing was eventually going to be split, with the player version giving predefined options to act as a spell crafting system

[fleet kernel]

would rather be abble to see everything at once instead of having to scroll through options

[sinful spindle]

in situations like this, i usually just make a command, then have a gui that in actuality executes the commands i made

[teal sedge]

But it gave me a headache so I took a break and never went back

[sinful spindle]

so both are options easily

[old venture]

oh thats clever

[teal sedge]

Alright well, I'll put this back on the todo list

See you in a month or something

[fleet kernel]

bye bye

[teal sedge]

Definitely spam me with ideas for netblock functions though, they'll get the same command+gui interface but I want to build out as many libraries and functions for them as possible.

Next update is going to allow attaching additional definitions for the configured function so you can customise scripts instead of hard coding

So let your imagination run free then send me a forceful dm kthxbye

[teal sedge]

Sorry for spamming showcase, I've just had the time today to clean up and post things I've had sitting around for a bit. I will hold off for a lil while before posting the next.

is there any difference between these two?

[unkempt torrent]

eh

no they're exactly the same

they used to be separated <n> for books and <&nl> for chat

but eh

just use <n> lol

[teal sedge]

I'll look into the first one, this was a remake of an existing script so I'm not surprised if I missed something really dumb

Citizens not requiring depenizen is new to me but makes sense

Ty for feedback

I'll have to see if I can find the original rtp as well, my first attempt managed to consistently crash the server

First and only time I've managed that so far

[old venture]

mm aight thanks

[teal sedge]

I also wouldn't be surprised to see some color tags like <red> instead of <&c> or hex

I had to remove a bunch, I was the one that put them there and even I was confused today seeing them there

[unkempt torrent]

I haven't reviewed everything of your script

there are also funky things like

[teal sedge]

oh dude trust me

80% of this is getting nuked

[unkempt torrent]

:D

[teal sedge]

but i've been using it in it's broken state for a while now and it's better than the alternative

that said

[mossy egret]

the better alternative is to fix it

[teal sedge]

yes

I stuggle from having a mindset of sharing anything that has potential value, as opposed to sharing only the things that reach mirror polish

However

I'm understanding the other side of the coin, and especially realizing the likelihood that sharing something that has flaws in this space is likely to cause more damage by demonstrating bad practices

let me take another crack at it now and lets see how mirror like i can get

[mossy egret]

i am the opposite

i dont post anything that i feel like is heavily flawed

thats why i was so hesitant to post my command manager thing in #showcase

(i did it anyways though)

[unkempt torrent]

sharing an in progress script in #showcase is fine for me, other people can take a look at code, might give suggestions and so on

only the discord denizzlins have access to #showcase

I wouldn't post an in progress script to the forums, since there are many outside denizzlins and beginners

[teal sedge]

That's a helpful solution to both aspects, thank you based diamond man

[mossy egret]

yes but if you look at my link theres so many bad practices and stuff

[teal sedge]

i urge you to judge my actual capability on something like the netblocks or the uhh

I should post my finished magnet here that one was a crowd pleaser

[unkempt torrent]

oh also *note; people should really make GitHub repos for their scripts

can't bear it to have to download a script everytime I wanna look at it

[mossy egret]

i still gotta work on subcommands for my thing

its going to be so painful though

[unkempt torrent]

what's a subcommand

[mossy egret]

!c yaml

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-bawlgazelle-autumnchild-autumnchlld-jeon-hyejin-gif-26489361

[mossy egret]

basically one command that splits into other mini-commands

[teal sedge]

wait actually i wanna discuss this one

[unkempt torrent]

oh you talking about arguments?

[mossy egret]

yeah

[unkempt torrent]

ooooo

yeah

[teal sedge]

- if !<context.args.get[2].contains_any[1|2|3|4|5]>:
            - narrate "<red><italic>Please choose lines 1-5 to set the display"
            - determine cancelled

How would you make this more efficient to cancel the command unless it was specifically the numbers 1,2,3,4 or 5

[unkempt torrent]

!t element.is_integer

[weary moth]

Tag: <ElementTag.is_integer>

Returns whether the element is an integer number (a number without a decimal point), within the limits of a Java "long" (64-bit signed integer).

Group

comparison

Returns

ElementTag(Boolean)

[mossy egret]

first check <[arg].is_integer>

then use operators < >

[teal sedge]

i posted my repo on both

MIT license baybee steal that sh*t

look at all my dirty patchwork

[teal sedge]

would that be more efficient than the current solution though

[unkempt torrent]

another thing I want to point out, XenForo is really bad for showing the GitHub link

[teal sedge]

who's xenforo

[unkempt torrent]

our forum software

[teal sedge]

do mybb

i still have gz setup files

[unkempt torrent]

talking about xenforo, @low radish when do you have to pay the license again?

[mossy egret]

so im thinking about adding a subcommands key for linear args

args:
  command:
    type: linear
    # example subcommands
    accepted: <list[add|set|remove].contains[<[value]>]>
    tab completes: add|set|remove
    subcommands:
      add:
        number: template=integer
        player: template=player
      remove:
        player: template=player
      set:
        value: type=linear
        world: template=world

but i dont htink this is important

[teal sedge]

I think i'm going to hunker down on that contains_any being a good simple solution to the problem until proven a dumb baby for it

[mossy egret]

i feel like most commands-with-subcommands should just be split into separate commands

[unkempt torrent]

mm from a user perspective I think it get's really confusing if you have to many subcommands as separate commands

[mossy egret]

yeah

i used to have like /worldmanager create|delete|load|4 other subcommands

now its /createworld /deleteworld etc

but i think its harder to find these commands this way

if only you could namespace command scripts so you can just /worldmanager: to tab complete them :(

I have this bulky thing

[mossy egret]

why.

[unkempt torrent]

idek

I have to clean the command script a bit, but that's the syntax

to manage a shop

[mossy egret]

let me guess

at least 300 lines

[unkempt torrent]

nope x)

285!

[mossy egret]

damn

youy know

technically you could already do subcommands with my system

[unkempt torrent]

only the command script though

whole system 624 + 172

[mossy egret]

ah i see

[mossy egret]

because it can also take in any args definition

so instead of having an args data key you can just define an args

- choose <context.args.first>:
  - case firstsubcommand:
    - define args <script.data_key[subcommand 1 args]>
  - case secondsubcommand:
    - define args <script.data_key[subcommand 2 args]>
  - default:
    - narrate bad
- inject ...

something like this

but then again you should just make them separate commands at that point

[teal sedge]

I'm back in less than an hour to tell myself i was wrong

wow ok first of all rude

[mossy egret]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

!<context.args.any> can be <context.args.is_empty>

[teal sedge]

and see how i did it

it's exactly like you just posted

[mossy egret]

can just be if search|create|setline !contains <context.args.get[1]>

[teal sedge]

Thank you though, I was 50/50 on if the tag was needed, but was duped by the vs code color formatting

[mossy egret]

i was telling you that this is invalid

[teal sedge]

oh I see

I just spotted, i must have hit it with a find and replace i was doing to the format

[mossy egret]

ah i see

[teal sedge]

absolute blunder

[mossy egret]

also the if <context.args.get[1]> == ...s can just be

!c choose

[weary moth]

Command: Choose

Group

queue

Syntax

choose [<option>] [<cases>]

Short Description

Chooses an option from the list of cases.

Description

Chooses an option from the list of cases.
Intended to replace a long chain of simplistic if/else if or complicated script path selection systems.
Simply input the selected option, and the system will automatically jump to the most relevant case input.
Cases are given as a sub-set of commands inside the current command (see Usage for samples).

Optionally, specify "default" in place of a case to give a result when all other cases fail to match.

Cases must be static text. They may not contain tag...

[mossy egret]

- choose <context.args.get[1]>:
  - case search:
    ...
  - case create:
    ...

[teal sedge]

I feel like such a brainlet i'll brb

[mossy egret]

also determine cancelled in a command script?

[teal sedge]

how did that get there lmao

twice!

ok both are swept under the rug I'm ready for my next bot command beating

not that it's expected, just encouraged

[short pier]

actually in this case yaml would be the command and create/load/set etc would be the subcommands

[mossy egret]

yes

i meant this command has subcommands lol

[short pier]

ah

internally they're called "instructions" lol

or in some cases "actions"

[low radish]

Denizen is a Citizens addon that has a script engine

like, in that order

in terms of historical development and in terms of userbase lol

[quartz wraith]

I don’t even have citizens installed lmao

[low radish]

also on this point: Post it, just clearly label the status

might be worth adding a dedicated WIP label or something that people can use

[low radish]

idunno tbh

it's annual, only needed to download an update not to keep running, and cheaper to update a license than buy a new one

might be in the admin panel lemme see

side note: I want to punch the xenforo devs in the dick for their shitty TFA impl

forces re-auth every 30 days, which only serves to discourage people from using TFA

No TFA? No reauth, shit just works. Get TFA? Annoying constant reauth.

They make you pick between convenience and security when they could easily just let you have both

They intentionally don't provide an option to turn that off

[unkempt torrent]

As we started with xenforo I thought it's cool lol

but the longer you deal with it, the worse it gets

[low radish]

ye hold on lol

i checked admin panel and there's an update

[unkempt torrent]

oo

[grim quail]

Does the if argument support the ! prefix? As in you'd do
- run my_task if:!<player.is_online>

Or would you do
- run my_task if:<player.is_online.not>

[quartz wraith]

!tias

[weary moth]

Info: tias

Try it and see!

If somebody pulled this up for you, you're probably asking a question of the public channel that's easier and faster to figure out by just attempting your idea in-game and looking at the result of that attempt.

[grim quail]

You right.

[unkempt torrent]

in this case you should also read tags description

[grim quail]

Ehh, the if argument is a global, where even is that in the meta?

[quartz wraith]

!Lang global if

[weary moth]

Language: The Global If Argument

The "if:<boolean>" argument is a special meta-argument that is available for all commands, but is more useful for some than others.
It is written like:

- stop if:<player.has_flag[forbidden]>
# Equivalent to
- if <player.has_flag[forbidden]>:
  - stop

When the if argument is used, the command will only run if the value of the argument is 'true'.

The most useful place to have this is a 'stop' command, to quickly stop a script if a condition is true (a player has a flag, lacks a permission, is outside a region, or whatever else).

If you need more complex matching, especially using '&&', '||', '==', etc. you should probably just do an 'if' command rather than using the argument.
Though if you really want to, you can use tags here like !tag objecttag.is.to or !tag elementtag.and or !tag elementtag.or.

[old venture]

do you know whats the latest version? 1780

[mossy egret]

@old venture quick question, do you have a custom /enchatn? if so, does your level default to 1?

[old venture]

i tried making one once, never got it to work xD

oh wait /enchant

not custom enchant

yeah it defaults to level 1. it should be on the github if you wanna take a look

@mossy egret pong

[mossy egret]

ok ty i will default it to 1

[old venture]

nah make it default to 255 xD

[mossy egret]

alright

love the auto syntax highlighting ngl

[old venture]

what doed that bypass do?

[old venture]

yea its very cool

[mossy egret]

w/o bypass vs with bypass

(/enchant aqua_affinity vs /enchant aqua_affinity -bypass)

[old venture]

oooo thats cool

make so you can do like enchant remove all, or enchant clear, removes all enchantments from the item

[mossy egret]

hmm maybe

[wild mauve]

i know but my server version is 1.8.8 i cant use the latest

[old venture]

oof

i mean, if its because of pvp you can disable holding shields and etc and toggle off the attack cooldown

[wild mauve]

@old venture how can i fix it ?

[foggy ember]

1.8 is unsupported, you can and should update - if you're using it for the PVP, there are plugins that replicate it on modern versions

!1.8

[weary moth]

Info: 1.8

Minecraft 1.8 is a 7+ year old Minecraft version (released <t:1409643900:R>) that we cannot reliably support.
While Citizens and Sentinel in their latest versions will still run on it, we cannot and will not provide support on this Discord or other platforms for it.
You can and should update your server. There are plugins for clientversion support and older-style PvP available.

For more information, refer to https://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Minecraft_1.8.

[old venture]

if you're going to update and want to know how to get the 1.8 pvp feel, create a post and we'll gladly help you out there

[mossy egret]

LMAo

[wild mauve]

oo ok tnx

[wild mauve]

tnx anyway

[old venture]

lmao
the * thing is really cool, idk how i didnt think of adding that to my own

[mossy egret]

so now that i though to fhtat, im thinking about adding it to.. every single one of my commands

ugh

im just going to remove the * so people dont wonder why its not everywhere else

[old venture]

HAHAHAH NAH DO IT TO EVERYTHING

[mossy egret]

no

undoing as we speak

[old venture]

user friendly > dev friendly

[mossy egret]

the thing is theres no good way to do it wiht my system currently

so i will hold it off until command_manager is actually good

[old venture]

aww

are you focusing on developing just one of them or are you hopping back and forth between both

@mossy egret ... i always forget the ping

[mossy egret]

on eof the reasons i even started creating tick's essentials is to create an actual application for command_manager

because i think thats the best way to find issues and know what features to make

which is actually using it

[old venture]

definitely! and now you have probably the biggest todo yet: accept the * everywhere

[mossy egret]

biggest todo is subcommands

😢

[old venture]

oh, true, automating that must be a pain

have you started on that yet? i'd be procrastinating until i was old lmfao

[mossy egret]

im just brainstorming atm

[old venture]

i wish you the best of luck

[mossy egret]

i have seo much stuff right now

im thinking about creating dLox

denizen implementatino of lox

[weary pawn]

I have a script that runs, but I am trying to get it to animate the npcs to make them swing thier arms but not actually break a block.

[plucky ingot]

funny little bug (i fixed it later)

https://youtu.be/2EQt_xFOGN8?t=170

[low radish]

ye same

it happened for one other thread earlier

not sure what triggers it, it's not just a reply to the opening post cause other threads don't have that

[plucky ingot]

have you considered suggesting dscript highlighting for discord code blocks

[low radish]

Discord uses a public library for that, they just don't bother updating it ever.

[foggy gorge]

lots of us would love that and the furthest i think we've gotten is getting it added to Github

a lovely denizzle here PR'd it for us

[soft pewter]

fun thing that aya, acikek, tutzhino (before he was banned >.<) and I were experimenting with on my discord server a long time ago was using ASNII code blocks on discord to sorta "emulate" dsc highlighting and it looks pretty cool when you mess with it enough:

my_script:
    type: task
    script:
        - narrate "Hello, World!"

uses ANSII codes to change the color and weight of text. no italics though :(. was able to do so using this website https://rebane2001.com/discord-colored-text-generator/
pretty fun to mess around with

not very optimal for big scripts (or quick ones) because you have to highlight the text and click buttons and stuff but it's cool to showcase :)

[foggy gorge]

oh damn, that's awesome!

that has to be killer on the character count though right? lol

[soft pewter]

yeah

each ANSII code is like 7 or 8 chars each D:

[foggy gorge]

owww

[foggy ember]

You could probably make a bot to automate that with the existing C# highlighting stuff, right?

Sadly mobile still can't see these :/

[soft pewter]

very much annoys me :(

[plucky ingot]

can u post a screenshot

im on mobile too

[plucky ingot]

oh cool

[candid kraken]

tutzhino was banned?

aww

that’s why I haven’t seen them around

[low radish]

pretty sure I have code somewhere that already does this too

Either ANSI codes or something close

Monkeybot had exporters for a bunch of weird formats

including IRC which is very similar to ANSI

not to mention ANSI codes is what minecraft server log files used to be before someone rudely stripped the colors out

[acoustic socket]

Hey that new grindstone event has perfect timing

Needed that

[unkempt torrent]

:D

[acoustic socket]

Now my vanity enchantment system won't be bugged when you use a grindstone 😎

Anyone know how I can contact the creator of denizen player models directly? I assume it wouldn't be acceptable to just ping them?

[low radish]

• Make a thread
• Actually ask what you want to ask, not just "hey i want to talk to <x> person"
• If it's genuinely something that only Max^ can answer, you can ping em. Chances are it's not. Because, yknow, A: lot of questions can be answered by anyone with Denizen experience not just the relevant script author, B: Max^'s script is heavily just copied out of my own DenizenModels so chances are whatever you're trying to do is something from my original script anyway

[acoustic socket]

Gotcha thanks

It's less of a question about Denizen more of a core shaders thing and the underlying method of using player heads to rebuild player models

[low radish]

#1027976885520584814 for that then lol, idk if Max^ can answer though iirc he yoinked the shaders from somewhere else

[acoustic socket]

Gotcha

[unkempt torrent]

made a thing which auto formats lore

[mossy egret]

Nice :)

[foggy gorge]

[soft pewter]

👏

[candid kraken]

it drives me crazy trying to make the lore the most readable it can be, but chances are I’m just a perfectionist

[short pier]

I have made something like this as well https://github.com/acikek/ilore

[tepid hull]

!m alter_uuid

[weary moth]

Mechanism: alter_uuid

Alters the entity's UUID, changing it to the new input UUID.
This is very likely to break things and is almost never a good idea.
This sorta-works with players, with significant side effects that will need to be compensated for.

Object

EntityTag

Input

ElementTag

Tags

<EntityTag.uuid> Returns the permanent unique ID of the entity. Works with offline players.

[tepid hull]

Perhaps we were preoccupied that we could, and have not considered if we should ...

What could possibly be a valid use-case for this?

[tepid hull]

Why is the mechanism max_health, and the tag health_max ?

[mossy egret]

I’ve wondered that as well

[reef wharf]

They were made at different times

Does anyone know how to get the title of a potion? For example, a vanilla night vision potion has the title "Potion of Night Vision". But if I were to do <[item].translated_name>, I just get "Potion". I could figure it out from the potion type, but I wasn't sure if there was a more right way to get it.

[sinful spindle]

great question. Does .display return something for it?

[reef wharf]

nope

The problem is the name is somehow derived from the potion effects

Same way a water bottle would probably also return "potion"

[sinful spindle]

yeah, material name

[reef wharf]

Ya. They're all just "potions". I don't know how to get "water bottle" or "potion of night vision" or "potion of the turtle master" without just keeping a manual list.

Which, honestly, is probably what Minecraft does underneath the hood somewhere

The king of "screw it lets just hardcode everything"

[sinful spindle]

welcome to minecraft code lol

such a mess

!m block_strength

[weary moth]

Mechanism: block_strength

Sets the strength for all blocks of this material type.
This does not work for specifically obsidian (as it is a hardcoded special case in the Minecraft internals).

Object

MaterialTag

Input

ElementTag(Decimal)

Tags

<MaterialTag.block_strength> Returns the material's strength level. (Only for block materials). Th...

[sinful spindle]

^ i always find this funny when i see it

[reef wharf]

lol yup

Also, you can't get the sound of a block from the blocks material

Sometimes it's just <material>_block_break

But other's aren't, because some blocks share sounds

You just have to... know

[mossy egret]

!t material.break

[weary moth]

Cannot Find Searched Tag

Unknown tag.

Possible Confusion

Did you mean to search for materialtag.item?

[mossy egret]

weird, i remember a materialtag break sound thing

aha

!t block_sound_data

[weary moth]

Tag: <MaterialTag.block_sound_data>

If the material is a block, returns the sound data for that block.
The returned map has the following keys:
volume, pitch: a decimal number
break_sound, step_sound, place_sound, hit_sound, fall_sound: Bukkit name of the sound effect

Returns

MapTag

[reef wharf]

oh dang

oh it was added last month

I must've missed that

[mossy egret]

yeah it was my feature request

[tepid hull]

Interesting mech example for cannot_enter_hive
- adjust <player> cannot_enter_hive:1s

[foggy ember]

!m cannot_enter_hive

[weary moth]

Mechanism: cannot_enter_hive

Changes the minimum duration until a Bee entity is allowed to enter a hive.

Object

EntityTag

Input

DurationTag

Tags

<EntityTag.cannot_enter_hive> Returns the minimum duration until a Bee entity is allowed to enter a hive.

[foggy ember]

Generated example

[tepid hull]

So not a copy/paste err?

[foggy ember]

These examples are automatic, they're usually helpful for understanding how would using the mech look but aren't always valid as there's no way for the generation code to know it's only valid for bees

Although Bread and 0tick have started working on PRing more examples to the meta (and anyone can help ofc), so the meta is getting more tested and descriptive usage examples :D

But yeah if it says Generated example then it's a computer generated one, if there's a mistake in a non-generated one should def report it though

[tepid hull]

I am under direct threat of Monkey not to touch source code. XD

[foggy ember]

Aw I forgot about that format

Never used IRC, but it looks really weird to me

[tepid hull]

That was in Discord :o

And to be fair, I have never really worked with Java in any useful sense, or with Git, for that matter, so I'd be next to useless. Anything I could contribute can easily be constructed by someone else.

[foggy ember]

Yeah ik, but that format was made to look like IRC right?

[tepid hull]

I thiiiink that's a copy-paste, and put in a pair of ``'s

[foggy ember]

No like, the messages displayed without the user's pfp & all

[tepid hull]

Looks the same to me.

[foggy ember]

As opposed to this

[tepid hull]

Oh weird. Maybe because I am using the webapp at the moment.

[foggy ember]

It's a setting

[tepid hull]

Oh, seems you're right.

Now I've got pfp's

[tepid hull]

Should the meta's descriptions for mechanisms that are specifically for item frames, i.e. framed, perhaps note that they apply for glowing item frames as well?

[foggy gorge]

it's a display setting in your discord settings to have compact/cozy formatting - compact removes pfp's and crunches it like that first image

cozy is default and what most people use lol

[foggy ember]

Yeah ik, I remembered someone talking about that but wasn't sure, although looks like it has a #IRC in it's name lol

[foggy gorge]

oh lol

[low radish]

yeah that was very much born of people complaining that Discord was too chonky compared to IRC

which, to be fair, it is

i feel like there could stand to be a middle ground

where just like

https://i.alexgoodwin.media/i/misc/660e86.png

these spaces get cut down

maybe make avatars a lil smaller

idk

(ie: all the same content visible as 'cozy' has, but eating less space)

it's a little annoying that even with a 4k monitor i can't fit as many discord messages on screen as i used to fit IRC messages on a 1080p monitor

[small hamlet]

Is this acceptable, or should I just make three different item scripts and choose one of them randomly?
rep_bonus_item_rare_book: type: item debug: false material: book_<list[red|black|blue].random> display name: <aqua>A rare book
(the three base materials exist elsewhere)

[low radish]

that's not technically invalid, lots of item scripts have dynamic details, might have side effects though

if those three base books all have the same book or written_book vanilla material, then you're probably fine

if they have different base materials, that'll prevent some matchers from working

[fleet kernel]

is that not an option in discord settings?

oops forgot disabe pings

with 4 px

[low radish]

oo

that is indeed an option, hell yeah

not the same as what I was suggesting as an option tho

meant that as an example of the types of lil tweaks they'd use

gets part of the way there but still leaves a lot out

definitely shrinking that space via the option now though, thank you for pointing out that out!

[tepid hull]

0px as well. That looks, smoooth.

[fleet kernel]

this red bar isnt really doing it

[small hamlet]

This might be a dumb question, but does it make sense to migrate all of my item and quest data from data key scripts to a massive server database flag? Is that just standard procedure?

[old venture]

nah, keep it in data

ive done that once and got almost yelled at xD

now wheres your post. i wanna answer you

[old venture]

creating it ^~^

[old venture]

I made it

[plucky ingot]

i love having to work around vestigial vanilla minecraft code!!! (my head hurts)

turns out whoever the FUCK wrote the code for falling sand and eventually other blocks made it so that any falling block that spawns, if the block its in has the same material as the falling block itself, it will erase the block it's in

however this is basically entirely useless? as normally it erases itself and spawns a block already

so i dont know what the fuck they were thinking coding it like that but it sure makes dealing with held blocks a HASSLE

it doesnt even properly remove them it makes like weird ghost blocks?
but those ghost blocks are different and NOOOOOO they cannot be affected by - showfake at all

like why why is this a thing?

[fleet kernel]

denizen rant moment

[plucky ingot]

so true

[candid kraken]

falling blocks are a pain

[acoustic socket]

OpenAI's "ChatGPT" understands denizen and can almost write you a script on demand

[mossy egret]

does it work a different way than im thinking?

[acoustic socket]

The impressive bit is this a general purpose AI, it went from accurately describing the history of my small town to making me a website to converting denizen script to java using the paper api

[mossy egret]

!c switch

[weary moth]

Command: Switch

Group

world

Syntax

switch [<location>|...] (state:[{toggle}/on/off]) (duration:<value>) (no_physics)

Short Description

Switches state of the block.

Description

Changes the state of a block at the given location, or list of blocks at the given locations.

Optionally specify "state:on" to turn a block on (or open it, or whatever as applicable) or "state:off" to turn it off (or close it, etc).
By default, will toggle the state (on to off, or off to on).

Optionally specify the "duration" argument to set a length of time after which the block will return to the original state.

Works on any interactable blocks, including:

• the standard toggling levers, do...

[cursive tide]

well shit....

[mossy egret]

Also you can’t adjust materials in locations like that

!c adjustblock

[weary moth]

Command: AdjustBlock

Group

core

Syntax

adjustblock [<location>|...] [<mechanism>](:<value>) (no_physics)

Short Description

Adjusts a mechanism on the material of a block at the location.

Related Guide Page

https://guide.denizenscript.com/guides/basics/mechanisms.html

Description

Adjusts a mechanism on the material of a block at the location.
That is, an equivalent to !command adjust, but that directly applies a "MaterialTag" mechanism onto a block.

Input a location or list of locations, and the mechanism to apply.

Use the "no_physics" argument to indicate that the change should not apply a physics update.
If not specified, physics will apply to the block and nearby blocks.

oh wow holy shit it do

details are all wildly off but the structure and concept are there

[mossy egret]

Yeah

I find that when I have a massive script file open, copilot is much more accurate

Because more samples

[low radish]

https://i.alexgoodwin.media/i/misc/380a14.png

it's so weirdly close

[soft pewter]

That’s scary

[acoustic socket]

If you give it a script and ask it to explain how it works and what it does it will do so perfectly

Ask it "Can you rewrite this script in java using the paper API?"

[cursive tide]

huh duration does not seem to do anything. does this look right? - switch <context.location.backward[1]> state:on duration:5s ? The light flicks on and then turns off.

[acoustic socket]

Switch takes a duration?

I did not know that

[cursive tide]

well its not working. at least not for this lamp.

[acoustic socket]

I suppose use wait and turn it back off

[cursive tide]

It wont stay on at all is my problem

immediately turns off

[acoustic socket]

Hmm

[cursive tide]

If i cant figure it out i will just put levers under them and switch the levers instead lol

[acoustic socket]

I also asked it how to make a script more performant and it gave some pretty solid advice

👍 assuming no thank you for answering

[unkempt torrent]

You shouldn't assume. Your question is easy answered when you make a post and provide more information to the event you're using.

[foggy ember]

And no, that is not the correct answer - the answer is as always not actually the yes/no you think it is which is explained in the above info message

[acoustic socket]

Try feeding it a script and ask it "Can you document and add comments"

[brisk dust]

Weird issue I'm running into. My VSC extension isn't color coding things. I turned extension on and back off. I reinstalled it. I disabled the only other extension I have. It's just showing as white.

Sorry if this should be a forum post ^. Just figured it's not directly Denizen related.

[old venture]

yeah, but make it explicit in the title that its about the vsc extension

just anything is "forum postable"

[low radish]

The example I saw of someone feeding low level driver code decomp to figure out... I think it was trying to fuck with an anticheat lol, was really impressive.
With Denizen scripts imo it's less impressive because Denizen scripts are designed to be very simple to read and understand

[low radish]

Neat feature of forum system: once you start typing vsc into the forum title box, it'll pull up all the other VS Code related forum posts (or, at least the ones labeled "vsc" or "vscode", not the ones labeled "vs code" unfortunately, search needs work).
At which you'll both
A: see that we do indeed allow VS Code forum posts
and B: see if there are any other posts that sound similar and be able to read through em before making your post in case there's already an answer for you

[mossy egret]

ive always wondered why elementtags werent split to stringtags, floattags, integertags, booleantags, etc

(not making post as imnot asking for help, nor do i need an immediate answer)

[unkempt torrent]

doesnt it overcomplicate things?

[mossy egret]

maybe, but i feel it makes things more secure

[unkempt torrent]

secure?

[low radish]

They were for D2 and FS

just not for D1

the reason they were split wasn't whatever "more secure" means, but rather for the performance benefits

[mossy egret]

wait doesnt splitting it boost performance?

oh nvm i thought you said "weren't split"

[low radish]

also are named TextTag (not 'string' cause that word is technobabble), and Decimal (not "float", which is also technobabble)

actually no FS does Integer and Number

[mossy egret]

and by more secure i mean its easier to find bad code so less problems in runtime

[mossy egret]

javascript just has number, which is interesitng

[low radish]

"easier to find problems" also means "harder to write working code" in many cases

there's a careful balance to be struck

[mossy egret]

i personally prioritize safety

its why i use typescript instead of javascript even if typescript forces you to type more stuff

[low radish]

Java as a language is infamously specific and safe, at the cost of ease of writing, conciseness, runtime performance, ...

[mossy egret]

so im definitely slightly biased here

[low radish]

part of the goal of Denizen is to not be java

[mossy egret]

i feel like many modern languages are quite easy to write and very type-safe

for example ts, golang, nim

a lot of its because of type inference or whatever they call it i think

[low radish]

FS and random parts of D1 including the script checker do weak type inference

ie they infer types but don't care if they don't end up with an answer

the script checker actually knows if you have a number or not, it just doesn't really apply that knowledge much

[mossy egret]

ooo

[low radish]

because

!t elementtag.add

[weary moth]

Tag: <ElementTag.add[<#.#>]>

Returns the element plus a number.

Group

math

Returns

ElementTag(Decimal)

[low radish]

Returns ElementTag(Decimal)

that information is documented

[low radish]

anyway so I forgot to give the actual direct answer to this

auf made the choice to do it that way forever ago in like 2013 for simplicity

and it never got changed in D1

and in hindsight that choice gave us benefits that FS/D2 sorta lack

like:

[frozen brook]

Tag parse results for <element[12345678912346789.123456789].add[0.5]>: https://paste.denizenscript.com/View/103690

12345678912346789.623456789

[low radish]

^ you can't do that with either an integer or a float

Having no particular definition of what types of numbers are actually supported, allowed us to seamlessly revise that tag to allow infinite scaled numbers

[mossy egret]

i see

i actually have so many questions about denizen's design lol, will probably ask them in the future

[rose harbor]

How can I define in Lore a colon?

[sinful spindle]

<&co>

[foggy ember]

But next time, should make a post - it helps other people with the same question find the answer in the future

[tender locust]

but they can just search the discord n find it in both

nice, now i know

[foggy ember]

Yes, but if it's a long discussion it'll be confusing, if it's a term that's used a lot (I.e. you want to do something with an npc walk you'll finds thousands of messages), if there are several people asking questions at the same time (which happened a lot before we had threads) it'll be a mess, etc.

When you open your inventory and you have an effect you can see the effect name with the duration remaining, is it possible to add custom ones of those does anyone know? Not alter existing ones but add new ones. No actual effect needed with it, just a name and a timer.

[reef wharf]

straight vibin

I've been thinking about making a system for VRmc, where you could cast spells by drawing sigils. I remember seeing this API that you could send it a collection of points, and then it would return the amount of accuracy compared to a preset drawing. and then all you would have to do is make it so that when you're drawing a sigil, instead of the sigil being in 3D space, the whole thing gets projected to a 2D plane, and then just send that to the plane to the API, and then as long as it was above a certain threshold of accuracy, then you will have cast the spell

but then I keep forgetting about it and doing other things instead

[foggy gorge]

if you have a VR, i'd totally contribute to that

[old venture]

holy shit that'd be so cool

I am posting on this channel based on mcmonkeys suggestion. I am new to Denizen, citizen and constructor. I am trying to find a way/how to set up an NPC so that players purchase it, probably with use of a for sale sign, take the NPC to there region, place it and allow constructor to do its thing. Is this even possible? I'm not a programmer. I've seen others guiding people how to set up scripts to do similar, but I don't know scripts either. New to it. "Hello, World!".. that's it.. lol.. I am trying to learn Denizen but its moving slow but going through the tutorials. But sofar I am not getting any ideas on how to go about this task.

Update Denizen

Latest Denizen stable release builds are at https://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/Denizen/. Most users should download the stable release build.

Latest Denizen dev builds are at https://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/Denizen_Developmental/. Dev builds are for usually for test servers only.

Spigot resource page for Denizen is at https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/denizen.21039/ (do NOT download builds from Spigot).

Update Paper

Paper is a higher-performance alternative to Spigot that is 100% compatible with the equivalent Spigot version. It's much easier to update than Spigot itself, and carries a lot of performance and quality-of-life benefits.

Latest Paper builds are at https://papermc.io/downloads.

(If you would prefer to use a Spigot build, refer to !update spigot).

[mossy egret]

make a command arg manager like mine

[old venture]

what part of im totally bored didnt you understand

[cursive tide]

You can fake spawn an item drop right? What command am I looking for?

[old venture]

item is an entity, you just gotta fakespawn it with the correct mechanisms

!c fakespawn

[weary moth]

Command: FakeSpawn

Group

player

Syntax

fakespawn [<entity>] [<location>/cancel] (players:<player>|...) (d:<duration>{10s})

Short Description

Makes the player see a fake entity spawn that didn't actually happen.

Description

Makes the player see a fake entity spawn that didn't actually happen.
This means that the server will not track the entity, and players not included in the command will not see the entity.

You must specify an entity to spawn and a location to spawn it at, or to remove a fake entity, specify the fake entity object and 'cancel' instead of a location.

Optionally, specify a list of players to show the entity to. If unspecified, will default to the linked player.

Optionally, specify how long the f...

[old venture]

uh. i think item is the correct entity. it could be like item_entity or whatever bs

create a post if it isnt!

[grim quail]

Er

[old venture]

[grim quail]

But yeah, that's the entity type.

[old venture]

oh man i wanna do something in denizen

[soft pewter]

That log is filled with deprecation notices 😮

[grim quail]

oh that'd be why haha

[soft pewter]

haha

[old venture]

i even thought of recreating the entirety of warframe but then i reminded myself of whta nimsy has gone through to recreate valorant, which is definitely 1000x smaller

[grim quail]

As someone who is a warframe vet and even mods the official discord, you're better off not doing that because of the 50+ warframes and oodles and oodles of weapons.

[old venture]

imagine tho: WARFRAME IN MINECRAFT - COMING SOON

mineframe

lel

[grim quail]

I mean we got avatar in minecraft officially.

[soft pewter]

oh neat

[grim quail]

I've seen some cool unofficial servers do bending with different skills and abusing the scroll wheel, along with fake blocks.

[soft pewter]

Ooo

That sounds cool

[sinful spindle]

!c displayitem

[weary moth]

Command: DisplayItem

Group

item

Syntax

displayitem [<item>] [<location>] (duration:<value>)

Short Description

Makes a non-touchable item spawn for players to view.

Description

This command drops an item at the specified location which cannot be picked up by players.

It accepts a duration which determines how long the item will stay for until disappearing.
If no duration is specified the item will stay for 1 minute, after which the item will disappear.
Use "duration:infinite" to indicate that the item should never remove itself.

[old venture]

oh i thought you meant the blue giants avatar

[sinful spindle]

ya'll are looking for this

[old venture]

oh dang

[sinful spindle]

i wouldn't use fakespawn for that

[grim quail]

Convenient.

[old venture]

@cursive tide

[soft pewter]

I’m excited for the new movie 😀

[old venture]

ya will are looking for this

see thats what happens when you put the ' in the wrong place >:(

[old venture]

me too! i wonder if it'll be really good or just excellent cgi

please let the writing be good please let the writing be good please let the writing be good please let the writing be good please let the writing be good

[soft pewter]

Hehe

Guess we’ll have to wait and see when it comes out

[old venture]

@foggy gorge beeeeehhhrrrrrrrrrrr give me denizen ideas, something COOL not nasty stinky command manager like tick told me to make

[soft pewter]

[cursive tide]

thanks I knew it was there somewhere.

[cursive tide]

make a minimap.

[old venture]

not a bad idea

i'll try!

[foggy gorge]

vr gravitational guns that can fling weapons at people ;)

[cursive tide]

I thought you already made that.

[foggy gorge]

almost, i did it for players and living entities, but now i wanna do it with actual weapons lol

[old venture]

oo, so basically your gravity gun but with collision detection so it hurts

[sinful spindle]

if it's in VR, why use a gun

use hand motion or something

telekinesis!

[old venture]

i just wont do it in vr bc i dont have one xD

[old venture]

TELEKINESIS HANDLER FOR VR MINECRAFT

😱

aim at a block/entity
do fancy magic sigils
voila!

who was thinking of doing magic sigils again? aya?

[foggy gorge]

jumpsplat mentioned it

i couldnt create something like that though lol

[old venture]

lmao

[grim quail]

You could also do it in desktop mode if you tried?

[foggy gorge]

kind of - so like, a very long time ago someone made a script to detect if a player shook their head 'no' or nodded 'yes'

in VR, your <player.location>'s yaw/pitch are determined by just the left handset

the new vivecraft tags add full x/y/z/yaw/pitch locations for both handsets and the headset

so you'd get the real feel of "drawing" a square, or something

but to be able to detect that someone drew like, a star for example, i have no idea how you'd scale and determine the "difference" between what the player's star looks llike and what we define it as

and that's the part that i back down on currently the hard part

i'd ask ChatGPT but it's more focused on telling me it's status

[reef wharf]

use ai

[foggy gorge]

teach me mom

i only know how to use the easiest web based 'enter chat and press enter' AIs currently

i do wanna make some cool weapons and vr mechanics before i get into that crazy stuff anyways

[reef wharf]

beg

[foggy gorge]

bark

[unkempt torrent]

[reef wharf]

give me a sec and I'll find the repo I was looking at

[foggy gorge]

i came back to this and was like "shit did i just start an uproar barking for jumpsplat"

[soft pewter]

lmao

[reef wharf]

found it. https://github.com/jmiskovic/lua-gestures

basically, take the pose of a players hand while they're pulling a trigger, flatten the set of points to a single plane, pass them into either a locally running or cloud running version of this algo (or one like it) and then POST the result back to the server (or waitable it)

[unkempt torrent]

this time I've added examples
