The UI system is currently very complicated. These might also be two different things, because CheckBoxWithLabel doesn’t have a ValueChanged event. And if I use LabeledCheckBox, the client crashes.

# vagrant blade I didn’t know that was a thing. that’s awesome. thanks

I think my original idea might be right, for the event you need to specify the element the event relates to with its named parameter , the
#myElementname for the labaled checkbox it might be that you need to add
#checkbox to specify its the checkbox in the labeledCheckbox you want the value changed event for.

Looking at some of their code they do a lot of

CustomUIEventBindingType.ValueChanged, "#FillModeCheckbox #CheckBox", EventData.of("@FillSolid", "#FillModeCheckbox #CheckBox.Value"), false

Where i would guess the FillModeCheckBox is the name of the CheckBoxWithLabel and CheckBox is a child object in the CheckBoxWithLabel thats the actual CheckBox type.

#

I would give it a try and just add CheckBox to the binding as well.

vagrant blade
#

dude it actually worked like that

# 
                CustomUIEventBindingType.ValueChanged,
                "#OpenCheckBox #CheckBox",
                EventData.of("@ToggleOpen", "#OpenCheckBox #CheckBox.Value"),
                false
        );```

# sly onyx Is there a way to visualice entities hitbox/collision?

if you know how render a block bench model with your own component type and make it follow the entity it's attached to, you could make a block bench component scaled to 1x1x1, build a plugin system that triggers for all collision boxes and populate the owning entity with your component, then just use the model settings per instance of your component to rescale your blockbench model to the scale of the hitbox. Perhaps.

void wagon
#

I did it... I did the thing. My chickens now spawn in front of the coop, instead of around the coop. It still uses the radius mechanic, I've just shifted where it circle center is. The space you need is determined by the offset, but in front of the coop instead. You'll need offset * 2 + 1 blocks of space in front of the coop. I got close initially with ASM, but needed to create additional variables which added complexity so I shifted to using Hyxin - much simpler.

I found that with an offset of 1, it will fit perfectly (no empty spaces) a circle of 8 chickens. I'm not sure how this scales, but given how a coop can only have a max of 6 residents by default, you don't need the vanilla offset of 3. It's very satisfying, if I say so myself.

void wagon
# near onyx i noticed a bug with coops. If you tame them... tamed goes in, untamed comes out...

Yeah I noticed this too, but it's a bit deeper than that. Tamed mobs do not work with coops at all, but why your tamed mobs went into the coop is because they had a "memory" of said coop prior to taming. This memory bypasses AcceptedNpcGroups and MaxResidents. Why this results in them losing their tamed status, not sure - it just resets their NPC role for whatever reason.

Coops work by scooping up nearby mobs within a 10 block radius. This is defined as WildCaptureRadius, there is also CaptureWildNPCsInRange, but not too sure why you'd ever disable the latter. So if a tamed mob has no memory of the coop, it will never be scooped up.

You can fix this, at least until it's patched by adding the tamed variants to the NPC groups for Chicken_Desert, Chicken and Skill. You can find these inside of Server/NPC/Groups/Creature/Livestock. This doesn't enable tamed mobs to generate loot, so you'll need to do something similar inside of Server/Farming/Coops/Coop_Chicken.json, and add to the ProduceDrops.

No idea how to trigger the de-taming. Seems to happen when you aren't wanting it to. I'll wait for tomorrows update, and if it isn't solved, I'll throw in some logs to see where and when it fails. I'm also curious as to why the coop doesn't like to capture or release the residents depending on when the chunk is loaded. It resolves itself, just kind of weird. 😅

sterile forum
#

or if its two objects, calculate the vector between the world position it's relative to. So calculate the the vector to the player from the start position, add that as well.

sterile forum
#

Ha. Realized something that feels scary but maybe shouldn't be.
Some of the components are instances, so multiple entities share the same object between them.
I have only seen it for a data less component, and that makes even more sense that you don't need unique copies of it.
But I am very curious how that would behave with data, specially if serialized (codec json stored) and on load. since the system seem to build on data being saved in each entity not with a reference to a shared component. Then again you could build a system where it just creates the instance and the first created handles actual loading of data from a specific source.

Quick question about player names: is it possible for players to change their names? Currently,

I’m saving a player’s level using their player name, but if Hytale allows them to change it, they would effectively start back at level 1. I’ve also considered using the player UUID instead, which would be safe, but then other players wouldn’t be able to look up information about someone while they’re offline — they would need the name.

So, I feel like I don’t want to store the player name permanently, but at the same time, I still need it. Do you have any recommendations?

neat pelican
sterile forum
neat pelican
#

It's the UUID of your game profile

sterile forum
#

Damn. Ok. Interesting.

neat pelican
#

To make sure you're getting the correct one, you can check it against the one you see in your server log when connecting:
[Hytale] Starting authenticated flow for DaniDipp (d2ca6980-613a-4fd7-8433-a4013baa6255) from QuicConnectionAddress{connId=f45960afdd395126f8ce5fd6fb11000fa4ff3270} (/xx.xx.xx.xx:54444, streamId=0)

#

and it's also how hytale stores user data un the universe/players directory (in my case d2ca6980-613a-4fd7-8433-a4013baa6255.json)

sterile forum
#

yeah i knew it wrote to a json based on your uuid.
I just for some reason expected there might be some per server hash and reUuid, giving you a deterministic but unique one.

I always used playerRef.getuuid()

sterile forum
# brave mural I always used playerRef.getuuid()

I don't think you have the playerRef when the player is offline. Since it's a reference to the Entity, and the entity won't be loaded.
Othewise i think it was more of a validation that it's the correct one.

brave mural
#

lol, so how do i get the correct one then?

#

Is there like Player.Getuuid or what?

sterile forum
#

There are a couple of conversations previously about how you get the uuid for a offline player.
Using ref is fine in an all other cases, but as hytale self state, as soon as you have a ref, you should always check that its valid before doing logic with it.

brave mural
#

So the offline one is the correct one then ?

sterile forum
#

really depends on what you are doing.

brave mural
#

Im super confused right now. shouldnt the playerRef uuid be the same as the offline player uuid?

sterile forum
#

or i could mix it up and you still have a player ref when they are offline, but you lack some other stuff.

brave mural
#

but the offline one is accessible while the player is not online

#

but should be the same?

sterile forum
#

yes the uuid is the same.

#

thats the point this was more that dani specified a place where your uuid is printed when logged in so one could verify that it is the right one.
Since there are plenty of uuids in general in the game, and even more player files with uuids on a server depending on number of players.

NPCEntity npcEntity = commandBuffer.getComponent(target, NPCEntity.getComponentType());

if (npcEntity != null) {
    Role role = npcEntity.getRole();
    if (role != null) {
        WorldSupport worldSupport = role.getWorldSupport();
        worldSupport.overrideAttitude(ref /* player type reference */, Attitude.FRIENDLY, subSpell.duration());
    }
}

I thought erroneously that overriding npc attitude would change their behavior, testing FRIENDLY on HOSTILE mobs does not change them aggro-ing the player, is there another way to override NPC Attitude/Behavior?

sterile forum
#

you check that npcEntity and its roll are non null, the ref is actually a player and that there is a duration left on the spell?

umbral flame
#

yes to all, those are done in a previous function and the attitude does seem to be overriden when logging its value, but npc keep their aggression

#

I also used constants to test the duration, I didn't know whether it was in seconds or milliseconds so I tested both, enemies seem to reset their attitude periodically despite the override
I must not be understanding something, I guess I'll check when and where the defaults get reapplied

sterile forum
#

What you could do for debugging as well.
Add your own no data component when you hit, that way you can have a ticking system that query for that component and a NPCEntity.getComponentType() where you pull out data realtime and print out somewhere, then you could see or add more parameters or values that you want to dump out?

Is there an event that gets triggered directly before the actual shutdown, before the world is shut down? Possibly one that even triggers in the event of a server crash?

It could be that they are still in a combat state. Could be that besides making them friendly you might have to override their state to being idle.
Maybe it's as easy as.

        var currentRole = npcComponent.getRole();
        var roleIndex = currentRole.getRoleIndex();
        RoleChangeSystem.requestRoleChange(npcRef, currentRole, roleIndex, false, "Idle", null, store);

well then, thats as much as i know 😬

i havent added any assets in a jar, so i havent a clue how that works unfortunately.

#

ok, taking another guess, i found this on one of the many modding sites:

@Override
protected void setup() {
    getAssetRegistry().register(
        HytaleAssetStore.builder(MyAsset.class, new IndexedLookupTableAssetMap<>(MyAsset[]::new))
            .setPath("MyAssets")
            .setCodec((AssetCodec) MyAsset.CODEC)
            .setKeyFunction(MyAsset::getId)
            .loadsAfter(OtherAsset.class)  // Load dependencies
            .build()
    );
}

are you doing something like this?

Hey team, don't know if this is the correct channel to ask so let me know if not. I've created carpets for Hytale. Everything is implemented and up on CurseForge but I found out last night that when the carpets are destroyed (to pick them up and move them) they turn into grass instead of staying as the item I made. This is my first creation so I'm sure I've missed something but what setting keeps the item as itself?

Hi there, anyone know how to overload an item name ?
I'm using a mod, this mod defines new items with their specific json in \Server\Item\Items\Consumables
I want to translate em using my own server.lang. I tried with items.<item>.name or <item>.name, it doesn't work.
It does work with the custom items of my own mod, probably cause i reference the items via their json.
I've seen complete language translation mods are client sided, since they do not redefine all of the items.json, so am i forced to redefine all jsons ? Like you can do via override assets in asset editor

neat pelican
#

it should tell you which key to use for the Name property in your translation file

sterile forum
#

and you can't override the translation without it (as a translation).

#

perhaps I'm ignorant, but instead having us go through the hassle of decompiling the server jar to see the code, why not just release the server source under a non permissive license, making the whole process significantly easier

sterile forum
#

With json asset overrides do you need the full asset to override it or can you override specific elements by just adding those to a new json file with the same name/location?

#

Problem is that i realize all the qestions when i can't hammer at the code and resources.

Shared Source Server
We know that the lack of documentation for assets and systems is causing serious friction. We feel the same pain internally.
We commit to releasing the server source code as soon as we are legally able to. Expect this within 1-2 months after release.

  • In the meantime the server is not obfuscated, so you can decompile it easily.
    This will let you:
  • Inspect how systems work under the hood while documentation is catching up.
  • Unblock yourself by reading the actual implementation, not guessing from trial and error.
  • Contribute improvements and bug fixes back to us if something bothers you enough that you don't want to wait.

Hello again! I'm having a bit of a play around with making curtains and I've encountered something that's probably a me error. The curtains won't sit against the wall and it seems like the hitbox doesn't cover the whole item. I've copied the values from the 1x1 painting asset so I assume that's the issue with the hitbox but I don't know how to create a new hitbox. Also even with the painting values copied the curtain won't sit against the wall. Any ideas?

As more complex mods and interactions are added, one of the big issues that always appear are containers, and containers containing object that contains items, specially if gets extended so items might explode or break containers they are in. Call ing it now. ^^

Specially if it goes so far that containers can be used by players to hide, thus containing palyers having items in their inventory that might have reactions or world effects, but but world for the player is the container they are in etc etc. Allways fun when things nest.

I tried being a big boy and investigate why the Salvager no longer salvages broken tools (the progress bar goes on forever). As I saw nothing within the JSON files, I tried using Hyxin to log some info within the a tick method, it was a mistake.

the root would be the first in a similar chain of things.
So most likely your interaction have either functions to get the root based on what it inherited from, or if it is the first, it is the root.

A root interaction is a interaction that would hold cooldown and other information when interacting.

So either if your interaction in some step extends from root interaction.
Otherwise it needs have a reference to a root interaction.

The root interaction have a id, in several interaction ids from things that share the same root interaction, and therefor share the same cooldown timers.

root interaction is a specific assset not just any interaction, and the relation to the root interaction is connected trough ids, and share cooldowns. And different interactions in a chain can have different root interactions. It was a lot more compelex than i expected but probably a lot more flexible.

#

[a game] I looked at had similar mechanics in their chain it just becomes complex because a lot of people could mess with the same items, and the item itself had cooldown on production and steps in the process. So it quickly do become more complex than one thinks.

How to modify block placement preview ?

minor elbow
#

Ugh, it's so frustrating wanting to create a mod when there's no proper documentation, only tutorials that skim the surface without providing any in-depth information.

So, developing a mod correctly—that is, using ECS ​​and in an optimized way (without cramming everything into ticks)—without documentation or examples is complicated '-'.

It's a shame Hytale isn't on Unreal Engine 5; I could have made a plugin like the Minecraft Create mod so easily on UE5 T_T

sterile forum
#

Nah. Damn happy its not ue5.

#

And if it would have been that easy in UE 5 you should be able to quickly replicate the rest you need from the game engine easily, and make as much money as the hytale team with your own game in ue5.

minor elbow
#

Just because it's easy to make a mod doesn't mean it will necessarily be easy to develop a game from scratch, and I'm not saying it's easy in general, I'm saying it would have been easy for me to do it on UE because I'm a UE dev, and just because it would be easy doesn't mean it would be fast, and besides I'm a system dev, not a 3D artist, animator, sound designer etc, a game isn't made by a single person, at least not this kind of game :p.

sterile forum
#

So not picking the engine that puts the highest demand on correct resources and graphical fidelity, is probably good then.

#

There is nothing wrong with putting things that need a steady update into a system that ticks.
And if it just needs a update or change there are events. And if there are things that just need to do a small part for a duration in a update and not when it doesnt it could simply remove its own component when its done with what it needs to do and be in a tick system. with a internal timer in the tick function you could also control extacly how often your thing would tick.

So what is it that you can't do between those options?

minor elbow
#

So you can do 2D and stylized graphics in Unreal Engine; it's not Unreal that demands a lot of resources, it's what the developers do with it. However, for a game based on a cube system, I admit I'm not convinced Unreal would have been a good solution. I'm just saying it's my area of ​​expertise and it would have been beneficial for doing what I wanted to do :p

In short, what I'm trying to do is have a specific rotation for the preview of my block, the semi-transparent version, and this is handled by the VariantRotation parameter in the block's JSON, but the available options don't match what I need.

So I'm wondering if there's a way to add a VariantRotation type, or if there's a specific event or system that handles this so I can do it manually if necessary.

minor elbow
sterile forum
#

You said that people did it wrong, and there where no example to do it right, so i thought you might have missed those.

#

Either or, therading your question.
A variant rotation would, since you probably want to store the data, be a component.

#

Depending on where and how you add the variant rotation in question that determins creation and update of the component in question, and what it interacts with when.

#

I need to fix dinner. BBL

minor elbow
#

No, I don't want to save in a component. VariantRotation is only used for the preview, and it's only the preview I need to change. Once you click to place, PlaceBlockInteraction takes over, and that's fine; I've managed that, and the block is placed as I want. But what the player sees—the preview of the block placement before clicking—doesn't match.

Anyone know if its possible to change a model of a tool (say a pickaxe) depending on its durability?

sterile forum
#

Client side stuff you need to change the package going over to the client, and there things do get harder since we have no direct client access besides the defined packages that exist.

#

I have not looked at the flow for the preview specifically to know if that part differs from the actual placement logic or not, as in if its just a flag that renders the default model differently or if its handled as its own thing.

minor elbow
#

@south sparrow Well, if you find where the durability change is triggered, you could apply a different state to your item which would change its model.

#

For example, you can check the durability of the tool each time the player uses it, and if the durability falls below a defined threshold, it changes its state, and then you define the different states corresponding to the different levels of degradation of the tool in JSON file of item.

#

States can obviously be managed from the editor

sterile forum
#

Looking at the code there is one setting handling previews client side, and that's "ShowBlockPreview", so if thats set the probably default to rendering the block in question with some shader and material overrides client side and nothing you can change.

So that would then mean if you want more control to deactivate block preview fully, and create a custom entity so you can render it at your desired transform.

for your part i am sure there is something checking the state of the tool since it will break after uses, so its just about locating where and see what kind of overrides one can do.

south sparrow
#

No in-betweens

#

I think checking when the player uses a tool would be ideal, right? There must be some kind of interaction for when the player uses a tool, right?

#

Because ultimately, it's when he hits something with his tool that its durability decreases, so if you go through the interaction in question and check the tool's durability at that precise moment, it should be fine.

#

And as for my problem, in the end, I'm just a big idiot.

#

Initially, I wanted the placement to be the opposite of the pipes, so horizontal when aiming at the ground or below, and vertical in other cases. However, in the end, I changed the placement to match the pipes.

So, in fact, I just need to modify the 3D model of the block to make it vertical by default and set the VarianteRotation to Pipe, and I won't even have to make the change with the "PlaceBlockInteraction" Hypixel_Smile.

Guys I wanted to use Fixed defense. It works, but any mod that increase's mob's damage does not work. Like RPG Levelling, Hardcore, RPG Mobs

For example a goblin deals 5 damage, I have 4 defense he does 1 dmg. But even when I increase his damage thru the mods he still deals 1 dmg

The point is that the block's animation does not change accordingly when the player enters or leaves the block's range, but when another block next to the one with the animation is destroyed, the animation updates, but again, when the player enters the range of that block, the animation does not change accordingly.

Have anyone figure out an easy way to get all the component of a active entity with out explicitly stating the component types you want to get?
I could try to use the handler to get the names, but the problem with that is that components might be added removed dynamically that is not part of the Holder declaration.
The final idea i got right now is actually adding a listener for the component add/remove the same way I added my entity listerner, and just catch all components created and destroyed, a ref to the entities uuid and add that to my own register type.

But it feels stupid since it should be in the store, just not easily accessible without the explicit type.

Might just be general updates to the asset itself as in, all particle systems of the same type might get changed.

maiden socket
#

need to research how client-server communication works. The init/update/remove pattern seems to give you a reference to a network package?

sterile forum

right right, a particle system, and that particle system got ParticleSpawnerGroups, and a particle spawngroup is the specific settings for one of what I usually would call the particle emitter.

#

A ParticleSpawngroup among all its other settings have a ParticleAttractor embedded.
And the attractor in turn have a position and all the different forces it apply.

#

What is the effect you are after exactly, might be that you could handle it another way as well.
Custom entity that is spawned at target A flies towards target B and the particle system just spawns particles along the way.
Or that it spawns the particles once and move with the entity and thus appear like movement.
I am not sure if particles do follow the transform they are connected to since I haven't tried it.
And I am not sure of the effect you are after so I can't really make a suggestion beyond that.

# ruby arrow Hi, is it possible to add a menu that opens when you click a button on the mouse...

Not any button i think, it would have to be one of the actions that the game already sends that you react to.
It also depends on the context you are "clicking on".
most mouse clicks will trigger an interaction with the world of some sort.
And it wouldn't be a menu it would be a UIPage that opens, that could inturn contain a menu i guess. But I guess you want something like...
"right click on a npc and get different intereaction options menu"
"right click on a gear block and get the a menu where you can specify how many degress to rotate"

might just be a hytale bug

sterile forum
#

if its a custom entity its probably that some of the data for some of the players or some of the blocks in the world or something saved is not saving correct or i tries to re add it when it already exists. Since its not default code I would probably not hold hytale responsible for it.

#

Have you check the holder what its criteria are for returning null, if there is an exception of some sort? Added logging to figure out why it returns null?

#

the addEntity will return null if the ref position in the store is invalid, or there should be an exception thrown before that.

dry pagoda
#

the entity that returned null also shows up in game perfectly fine when i join if that changes anything. the issue is mainly BEFORE a player loads into the world

sterile forum

So you are probably trying to load the entity before some of it dependencies have loaded initially, and the next time the world have loaded and those dependencies exist.

dry pagoda
#

main issue i'm having though is that i have no idea how to remove that entity once it's been created, due to absolutely no way to reference it anymore

if its your code, just add a component to it so you can locate it again, Or trace its uuid in a system by the entityAdded event.

since you can get any entity again by its uuid if it exists.

trying to get the entityref from uuid also returns null, its really weird

On the Java side, it's the two parent classes Space mentioned, the UICommandBuilder is responsible for referencing the .ui files and dynamically updating values. You can look at decompiled server code for reference here too, there is sure to be something similar to what you plan on doing.

Not sure how well it would work, but could you just not unregister the entities and codecs with a run before/run after.

well yeah it still wouldn't be runtime.

I dont expect people to be turning this config on while the server is running, if that makes sense?

Ah ok.

Then you could probably make something that catch creation of component or entities and remove them, or add a component and listen for events involving them and filter them out.

carmine sorrel

I couldn't find the right event to do that with, >.< I might be being dumb

Yeah i am not really sure about actual viability.
But any asset should be sent to the client by the server.

I think will just move on to other functionality for now, I am less sure about being able to filter blocks entirely, but I am confident that eventually will get the ability to remove blocks from the creative menu / recipes programatically

Look at which packet is sent to the clients when you remove a recipe in the asset editor

You would have to adapt the world gen and prefabs as well so it doesn't add block and things that should not exist.

hi gamers

i'm making a magic mod and for things like magic projectiles and glyphs and such i need to keep track of the entity responsible for casting these spells. i assume an entitystore ref is sufficient, but i'm not sure if that's a good approach because from what i can tell these refs are kinda fleeting in the sense that they may point to one entity but can be replaced with another when that initial entity is gone. like how minecraft uses UUID for an entity, an entitystore ref can't be treated as a permanent reliable ID like that

ideas?

dont entities have a UUID component as well?

shell geyser
#

do they? oh i should check

neat pelican
# shell geyser hi gamers i'm making a magic mod and for things like magic projectiles and glyp...

Refs can become invalid quickly, yes. But do you really need to keep track of these caster entities for a long time? In ECS, this is generally done by putting a tracker component on entities you want to track, so that you can just query the store for all those entities. And for individual actions, you get the entities Ref every time something happens to it (e.g. it casts a spell).
If you do need to identify it for an external system for example, yes you can use the uuid and fetch the ref via Store#getExternalData().getRefFromUUID(uuid)

shell geyser
#

yes because what if a spell hits something when the caster has died or despawned already
or some spells also need to affect or not affect entities that are allied with the caster, would be a separate solution for which i need to make a component im sure but basically yeah i need to keep track of the entity responsible for casting a spell because a spell being brought into existence and it actually doing something can be a very long time apart

The --transport TCP flag is currently server-side only.

Even with this flag enabled, the client still defaults to QUIC (UDP) for the handshake.
We need a way to force the client to use TCP as well. The server-only flag doesn't solve the connection issue if the client doesn't switch protocols

near onyx

i feel like you wouldnt be able to force a client to use the protocol of your choice.
That would need to be a decision they'd have to make

#

The uuid component exist for all entities that exends living entity atleast but I think uuid exist for all and networkid component for those that needs to talk between server and client.

#

I said the same the other day, the last thing we need is a way for servers or programs to toggle things on the client without user choice.

Specially when the main reason its not permitted is because its harder for russia to do deep searches of the package data.

what if a spell hits something when the caster has died or despawned already
The ProjectileComponent keeps track of it's creator via UUID as well (check out it's onProjectileDeath function). I don't know how the components Projectile and ProjectileComponent relate to each other, that might be useful to check out for your use-case.

some spells also need to affect or not affect entities that are allied with the caster
Yep, that's a simple component lookup of your custom "allegiance component". Don't keep track of entity allegiance in a central place, put this information directly on each entity. That also handles all of the threadsafe logic for you when entities switch worlds.

Try ServerManager.get().getPublicAddress() (or .getNonLoopbackAddress() if no public one is available or local network addresses are expected)

I still don't understand all the components. If I wanted to print the name of an entity, how would I get that? It'll be NameTranslationKey as per the JSON but not sure in Java. And perhaps the role? To determine if it has a tamed role (or isTameable).

both? or did you bind to a loopback address? then you need getLocalOrPublicAddress(), thats the most permsissive one

Alright getting the Role is sorted, and thus getting the name is sorted too... but oddly, isTameable is not in the role. Where in the heck is that? It's defined in the role in JSON, so it must be part of something else...

Hello!
My name is Sadim, and I’m a passionate Hytale player.
I would like to create a mod for recording and replaying scenes in-game, like a small cinema studio:

A placeable camera to record movements

A pause/resume feature for the film

A mini-screen to preview the recording live

The ability to generate a unique code to replay the film on a screen block

I’d like to know:
1️⃣ Does the current SDK allow this type of mod?
2️⃣ Are there any specific rules for sharing or testing this mod?

Thank you very much for your help! This would allow me to create RP films and creative content in Hytale

You're right. Some JSON is NEVER referenced in code at all... although I feel like there must be a way, how else are plugins supposed to access additional role info?

  "Role": {

When adding a new ObjectiveAsset, how can I change the string displayed, currently it's still "server.objectives.first_quest.taskSet0.."

It's weird I found code that explains how you set up a component to be written and read with a codec when added to a entity, and I have found code that allows create an plain entity by using a base component as a holder and attach more components to it, and add it to the world, and I have found code that have set up holders that can be used for the same thing except that the holder is predeclared in an asset, and that part i have not figured out quite yet.

I know i could limit my self to adding and extending npcs and interactions, and new components, but it feels like the true potential is still combined with being able to easily define and manage one owns entities.

The hud is a unique hud object that you access the same way as when you add it trough the custom ui manager on the player ref. So if changes are internal events the hud can simply listen to them and use the set and clear command towards your #namedelement and set to set new data the same way you set data during the elements build phase but using set for the target instead of appending the ui file and building.

this means I need the inventory visible, and able to be dagged from, like a bench or window

Look at how storage or other container items work and lean on them for how to do it.

Hey with regard to mods that have All Rights Reserved, are public commercial servers unable to use mods without their consent or a license/permission to operate?

If they dont explicitly say you can use it, you technically cant, license missing is not permission but would fall back on copyright laws.

I mean I'm just saying, all the modders are making mods, creating them all under All Rights Reserved instead of ideally using an MIT or GenU license, and not giving ample legal instruction or permissions to utilize mods, and I imagine majority of public commercially available servers are essentially doing things wrong.

arr isnt an issue for mod makers(unless they rely on said mod and werent its creator), its mostly an issue for mod users

In the sense of if you dont intend to sell or license it somehow arr makes little sense for a mod.

I don't think, the majority of mod creators are creating mods in the hopes of trying to get it monetized. I imagine they want as many people to use their mods, or for their mods to be showcased on servers, but make it hard to do so without the appropriate legal permissions. Also kind of goes against Simons philosophy regarding mods being openly accessible to everyone.

Intellisense for code auto complete is a form of AI and many developers hated the idea of it at first. AI is just another tool that can be used right or wrong too.

Real game developers work on developing the game, not having AI do it for them. You don't get hired in the IT world for plugging stuff into AI. Anybody can do that. Can you with your own two hands actually make something though? That's the question. Should be using AI minimally if at all. Whatever happened to doing things yourself?

Hii Im currently trying to cancel InteractivelyPickupItemEvent so I checked on the source code, here was where it was used in ItemUtils:

InteractivelyPickupItemEvent event = new InteractivelyPickupItemEvent(itemStack);
componentAccessor.invoke(ref, event);
if (event.isCancelled()) {
    ItemUtils.dropItem(ref, itemStack, componentAccessor);
    return;
}

And how it gets treated when dropped:

DropItemEvent.Drop event = new DropItemEvent.Drop(itemStack, throwSpeed);
componentAccessor.invoke(ref, event);
if (event.isCancelled()) {
    return null;
}

However when I cancel the Drop event, the block is still being destroyed but nothing get dropped which is a good news.
So I thought that it was because of the dependencies since my system may be treated after other systems.
And I added:
override fun getDependencies(): Set<Dependency<EntityStore>> = RootDependency.firstSet()

However it still has no effect even though I cancel it.

if InteractivelyPickupItemEvent is cancelled, wouldn't the code immediately call ItemUtils.dropItem(...) and return ?

no it will call Drop event first

#

and that's where I struggle to cancel Drop event

#

I've seen that in the Temple with the memories on the exploration map you can't pickup items so its definetly possible to cancel that

If you cancel the drop event nothing will drop and that is what you said you where seeing right?

From the terrain?

#

Yes

#

Maybe its because of from where ItemUtils#interactivelyPickupItem is used it might already break it before calling the event

#

That would have nothing to do with the drop event. The drop event is a event that happens because the block broke.

DropItemEvent.Drop cancellation prevents the dropped entity from spawning, but the block removal is controlled by the interactive pickup handler, not by throwItem()

#

You need to cancel the earlier interaction/use event that triggers the pickup, or patch the pickup handler so it doesn’t remove the block when the pickup event is cancelled or when drop returns null

#

i cant see that part in your snippet

Yes it's from where its being called in:

    public static void performPickupByInteraction(@Nonnull Ref<EntityStore> ref, @Nonnull Vector3i targetBlock, @Nonnull BlockType blockType, int filler, @Nonnull Ref<ChunkStore> chunkReference, @Nonnull ComponentAccessor<EntityStore> entityStore, @Nonnull ComponentAccessor<ChunkStore> chunkStore) {
        // SOME CODE
        if (!blockType.isUnknown()) {
            int fillerX = FillerBlockUtil.unpackX(filler);
            int fillerY = FillerBlockUtil.unpackY(filler);
            int fillerZ = FillerBlockUtil.unpackZ(filler);
            if (fillerX != 0 || fillerY != 0 || fillerZ != 0) {
                affectedBlock = affectedBlock.clone().subtract(fillerX, fillerY, fillerZ);
                String oldBlockTypeKey = blockType.getId();
                blockType = worldChunkComponent.getBlockType(affectedBlock.getX(), affectedBlock.getY(), affectedBlock.getZ());
                if (blockType == null) {
                    return;
                }
                if (!oldBlockTypeKey.equals(blockType.getId())) {
                    worldChunkComponent.breakBlock(targetBlock.getX(), targetBlock.getY(), targetBlock.getZ());
                    return;
                }
            }
        }
        // SOME CODE
        BlockHarvestUtils.removeBlock(affectedBlock, blockType, setBlockSettings, chunkReference, chunkStore);
        HarvestingDropType harvest = blockType.getGathering().getHarvest();
        String itemId = harvest.getItemId();
        String dropListId = harvest.getDropListId();
        for (ItemStack itemStack : BlockHarvestUtils.getDrops(blockType, 1, itemId, dropListId)) {
            ItemUtils.interactivelyPickupItem(ref, itemStack, centerPosition, entityStore);
        }
#

it calls the WorldChunkComponent#breakBlock
