Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

so when i place the item, it literally points the other direction like this

spawndynamicdisplay:
  type: task
  definitions: location | item | size | uniqueid
  script:
    # Spawn the custom flat_item_display entity
    - define origin <def[location]>

    # Y-axis for horizontal rotation
    - define spawn_location <[origin].face[<player.location.with_y[null]>]>

    - spawn entity:flat_item_display <[spawn_location]> save:display_entity
    - flag <entry[display_entity].spawned_entity> eco_display_entity:true

    # Adjust the specific item and scale for this instance
    - adjust <entry[display_entity].spawned_entity> item:<def[item]>
    - adjust <entry[display_entity].spawned_entity> scale:<def[size]>

    # The rest of your script for the text entity and flags
    - spawn <entity[text_entity]> <def[location].above[0.3]> save:textEntry
    - flag <entry[textEntry].spawned_entity> uniqueid:<[uniqueid]>
    - flag <entry[display_entity].spawned_entity> uniqueid:<[uniqueid]>
    - adjust <entry[textEntry].spawned_entity> text:<&l>test

flat_item_display:
  type: entity
  debug: false
  entity_type: item_display

EcoDisplayRemove:
  type: world
  name: wtf
  events:
    on entity dies:
      - define uid <context.entity.flag[uniqueid]>
      - foreach <context.entity.location.find_entities.within[5]> as:ent:
          - if <[ent].has_flag[uniqueid]> && <[ent].flag[uniqueid]> == <[uid]>:
              - remove <[ent]>

text_entity:
    type: entity
    debug: false
    entity_type: text_display
    mechanisms:
        text: <&sp>
        see_through: false
        text_shadowed: true
        pivot: center
        background_color: TRANSPARENT
        translation: 0,0.3,-0.4
        scale: 0.5,0.5,0.5

euh, what about just subtracting or adding 180 to the yaw?

Should flip it, as long as the item is flat. Otherwise trying messing with the rotate command, and specify the yaw and pitch via that, but I think .with_yaw would theoretically do the same

Also, I recommend defining <entry[display_entity].spawned_entity>, so that you can just use <[my_ent]> everywhere instead of that long text. Also makes it easier to read, and is probably more efficient

[maiden thorn]

Ow! makes sense, thank you! For the moment the I did solve the problem by replacing <[origin].face[<player.location.with_y[null]>]> by <[origin].face[<player.location.forward[10].with_y[null]>]>

[jovial dragon]

hm interesting, that would pretty much just put the player on the other side of the crafting table yeah, so it would rotate. Kinda hacky though

[maiden thorn]

Well, i'm not an expert in denizen script so i just took the easy way ig

so i didn't had to rewrite everything

[jovial dragon]

I mean, you don't have to rewrite anything with what I mentioned either

just add .with_yaw somewhere

[maiden thorn]

so adding a 180 deg yaw would also solve the issue?

kinda makes sense, i was just affraid of it being like left_rotation

or using same mechanics

I appreciate your support btw

😄

[jovial dragon]

Idk, maybe lol

[jovial dragon]

Yeah, there's quite a few mechanics that sound like they can work but then they don't and you're left even more confused lol... I know how it feels

[maiden thorn]

that's script based programming in a nutshell

Denizen is still amazing

Almost same power as codding your own plugin

Tbh is less organized

I do also code in Java, not the same in terms of readability

but words are more descriptive in denizen

[jovial dragon]

I much prefer denizen over java though tbh. I tried making a java plugin and it took me way too long and it's kinda ass. Made the same plugin with denizen in way less time and it's a lot better. I do have a background in python and C#, but yeah no I don't like java lol. Denizen makes plugins very easy

[maiden thorn]

yeah, i used to port forge mods for servers using Java and Oraxen

And i can do it also with denizen, which is less time consuming

We're also developping an app, so i'm trying to get used to denizen again so I can make our app generate denizen code

to add mechanics and such

not direct support to denizen, but using denizen to improve our service

as a dependency

[jovial dragon]

Hm interesting

Anyways lmk if what I mentioned works
