I want to make a script that moves a gate between open and closed every so often, on server time. I haven't worked with placing/breaking blocks before so im not sure how to do this. Would it be best to load schematics? the gate shouldnt be more than 4 wide by 8 tall.

chrome karma !c switch

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...

this opens/closes doors etc

#

oh sorry, i want to make like a big gate made out of blocks, not just a minecraft door

#

im thinking schematic makes the most sense for this. im trying schematic create but my area: is not a valid area object. I used the selector tool and noted the area, is that not right?

serene rock Aug 12, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

ahhh this is so annoying i cant figure out how to get a valid area object

serene rock Aug 12, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

ok new question: how do i get a noted area's tag? im trying to get the location of a noted area

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

i mean you could do display entities, you could do schematic rotate, you could just rotate everything manually

serene rock Aug 12, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

similar to player.location but i want noted_area.location

!t .areas

sullen edgeBOT Aug 12, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

chrome karma !t .areas

Cannot Specify Searched Tag

Multiple possible tags: <LocationTag.areas[(<matcher>)]>, <PlayerTag.areashop.owned>.

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

!t location.areas

sullen edgeBOT Aug 12, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

chrome karma !t location.areas

Tag: <LocationTag.areas[(<matcher>)]>

Returns a ListTag of all noted areas that include this location.
Optionally, specify a matcher to only include areas that match the given AreaObject matcher text.

Group

areas

Returns

ListTag(AreaObject)

Examples

# This example shows all areas at the player's location.
- narrate "You are inside: <player.location.areas.parse[note_name].formatted>"

# This example finds which "Town" area the player is in.
- narrate "You are inside the town of <player.location.areas[town_*].first.flag[town_name].if_null[Nowhere!]>"

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

!t area.note_name

sullen edgeBOT Aug 12, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

chrome karma !t area.note_name

Cannot Find Searched Tag

Unknown tag.

#

Possible Confusion

Did you mean to search for cuboidtag.note_name?

sullen edgeBOT Aug 12, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

chrome karma !t area.note_name

Tag: <CuboidTag.note_name>

Gets the name of a noted CuboidTag. If the cuboid isn't noted, this is null.

Returns

ElementTag

Examples

# For example, this might return something like:
# "The cuboid you are currently in is noted as: my_cuboid!"
- narrate "The cuboid you are currently in is noted as: <player.location.areas[cuboid].first.note_name.if_null[null! You aren't in a cuboid]>!"

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 2:54 AM

#

oh oop you meant location of an area

serene rock Aug 12, 2023, 2:54 AM

#

thanks. those all use <player.location>, what if i just want to get the coordinates of the gate location?

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

you can do .center

#

or .blocks

#

idk depends on what you want to do

i want to spawn this schematic with the origin at the red wool

#

chrome karma !c schematic

Command: Schematic

Group

world

Syntax

schematic [create/load/unload/rotate/save/flip_x/flip_y/flip_z/paste (fake_to:<player>|... fake_duration:<duration>) (noair) (mask:<material_matcher>)] [name:<name>] (filename:<name>) (angle:<#>) (<location>) (area:<area>) (delayed) (max_delay_ms:<#>) (entities) (flags)

Short Description

Creates, loads, pastes, and saves schematics (Sets of blocks).

Description

Creates, loads, pastes, and saves schematics. Schematics are files containing info about blocks and the order of those blocks.

Denizen offers a number of tools to manipulate and work with schematics.
Schematics can be rotated, flipped, pasted with no air, or pasted with a delay.

All schematic command usages must specify the "name" argument, which is a unique global identifier of the schematic in memory.
This will be created by "create" or "load" options, and persist in memory until "unload" is...

#

huh damn i remember there being an origin arg

#

wait a sec

serene rock Aug 12, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

there is sorta

#

the usage example is

- schematic paste name:MySchematic <player.location> noair```
i just want the <player.location> to be <noted_area.location>

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

The 'create' option requires an area and a center location as input.

#

then you'd just schematic.origin

#

!t schematic.origin

sullen edgeBOT Aug 12, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

chrome karma !t schematic.origin

Tag: <schematic[<name>].origin>

Returns the origin location of the schematic.

Returns

LocationTag

serene rock Aug 12, 2023, 3:00 AM

#

schematic.origin returns 0,0,0

#

maybe it would be easier to just paste it at raw coordinates. I want to do /ex schematic paste name:gate5 -1774,-290,91,world but the schematic just doesnt appear

#

ugh ignore all of this. its all my mistake. THIS WORKS:
/ex schematic paste name:gate5 -1778,90,-288,18,259,1.20-world

serene rock Aug 12, 2023, 3:32 AM

#

any ideas to make this look better? im pretty happy with it, but im new to particles :)

#

this is the script. its... really ugly. i guess i could use a loop with some logic that adds to the particle spawning?

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

😨

#

if you're just doing THAT

#

modifyblock the locations to air

#

..i thought you wanted it to slide open or stuff like that

chrome karma Aug 12, 2023, 3:47 AM

#

chrome karma modifyblock the locations to air

have a script that'll modifyblock each "layer" to air 1 by 1 with a set delay, and another that'll reset the door 1 by 1

#

its ok to kinda hardcode this stuff, that is, if the gate is truly unique

multiple schematics for each "Gate" phase lol

radiant haven Aug 12, 2023, 10:00 AM

#

have you thought about adding some data/velocity to the particles? and also some blockcrack

#

might help it feel more dynamic

#

also while it's a bit more complex, you could try and make the gate move?

radiant haven also while it's a bit more complex, you could try and make the gate move? https:...

yes i've seen this before! the gate + boss have always been super cool. to get the door to "slide" down like that, do you use falling blocks? the gate seems to move slower than regular falling blocks

radiant haven Aug 12, 2023, 11:22 PM

#

I think I posted it somewhere on here

#

You mount falling blocks on top of armor stands to control their speed

#

And you can use shulkers to allow for collision

#

Found it

#

It’s very out of date code though, I need to update it to modern standards

#

Especially the disguise part

wraith dune Aug 13, 2023, 7:59 AM

#

display entities might be better for that now :)

radiant haven Aug 13, 2023, 8:04 AM

#

yeah, main downside is that you can walk through them without shulkers
and if you want shulkers, you need armor stands
so you may as well just mount falling blocks since it's easier to configure

#

up to personal preference i guess

#

simplest way is to just spawn in display entities using the schematic then move them down yeah

#

could also do barriers that are removed roughly as the display entities move past them

#

would be basically indistinguishable
