Script API General

[vocal elbow]

thanks

[distant gulch]

jayly has send a link, its a good docs thingy

[amber granite]

Let object=
{ PI : 3.14 , PI2 : 6.28 }
Let str = JSON.strigify(v)

And when u parse it u will get the values that was in the object with their types saved

[distant gulch]

Okay but what when i didnt saved an object

[amber granite]

Won't work

Because parse and stringify works specially for objects

[distant gulch]

world.setDynamicProperty(`${databaseId}:${key}`, STRINGIFIED_VALUE);

like when i saved a value

in dynamicProperties

And then my database gets the value to add it to the cache

it would work to parse the value

[amber granite]

Nah bro

U understood my idea wrongly

[distant gulch]

Okay

[amber granite]

Listen to me

1 - first , work on object and put the values on it
2 - strigify that object and
3 - declare new variable as examples : myData
4 - add the strigified object to him

[distant gulch]

so every value i save needs to be an object

[amber granite]

Nooo

I ll write and example and send it for u

[distant gulch]

okay..

[distant tulip]

not true

[amber granite]

My lang is sh** , i mean it mainly used for objects

If u wnat to stringfy something use toString is better

[solar dagger]

How do you clear a slot? Would it be like typescript ...setItem(i, null)?

[distant tulip]

null or undefined
the docs suggest undefined

[solar dagger]

Alr I'll use undefined then

[cinder shadow]

does UIManager.closeAllForms not work?

I have UIManager imported from server ui

[distant tulip]

did you update your manifest server ui version?

[cinder shadow]

it's on 1.3.0-beta right?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[cinder shadow]

should work then

[woven loom]

hm

[distant tulip]

any error?

[cinder shadow]

not a function

[distant tulip]

hm

preview?

[cinder shadow]

yes

[distant tulip]

UIManager.closeAllForms(player)
should work

this is a wired syntax
they should just make it a player function

[near siren]

How do you check if a variable is a Vector3 or not?

[shy leaf]

checking if it doesnt return xyz, i think?

i dont think theres a dedicated way for this

[amber granite]

Variable instanceof Vector3

@near siren

[shy leaf]

o

[near siren]

Tried that, but it just says this. And when I try importing Vector3 it says it's not an import

[amber granite]

Wait a min

Did u import the Vector3 Library ?

From Minecraft math

[near siren]

Oh from minecraft math?

[amber granite]

Yeah

U can also u

External module

Use external module

To not change the manifest

[cold grove]

What are you trying to do?

[amber granite]

Yesh i think import it from Minecraft math

It s better to be compatible with ur code

[cold grove]

You dont really need the vector class if you dont use math operations

[near siren]

I'm trying to see if a variable is a vector3 or a number so I can add them accordingly

[amber granite]

U can use a function

And see if this variable has x and y and z propreties

If not it will return false

[near siren]

So that method does in fact work. Side note, dont think I've ever used minecraft/math before and I'm unsure as to how to make it work with bridge

[amber granite]

Bridge,

I don't use bridge

I use vsCode

[cold grove]

v.x && v.y && v.z?

[near siren]

Thats what I ended up doing

[amber granite]

Ok import it ur js file

import { Vector3 } from 'minec..math idk"

Then use instance of

[frozen vine]

How do I increase the block state by 1 point with script?

[warm drum]

when does a block tick?

like every tick or when it gets updated

[valid ice]

When the tick component, which is added in the block behavior, fires off.

[warm drum]

Is there a way to get block update event?

[valid ice]

not afaik

[warm drum]

why do the onPlace keep getting called with the playerinteract?

initEvent.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('wiki:something', {
        onPlayerInteract: (e) => {
                console.warn('Block interact')
        },
        onPlace: (e) => {
                console.warn('Block place')
        }
    });

[random flint]

Just check the block being interacted ain't ur custom block.

[shy leaf]

how do i make a code to repeat for specified ticks

[valid ice]

runInterval?

[shy leaf]

wait thats it?

i mean

you can specify ticks for runInterval?

[tight plume]

.runInterval(func, 10 <- ticks)

[shy leaf]

o

[warm drum]

The very block being interacted with is the custom block?

Then, the placeOn event is called too

I kinda guess what happening, the onPlayerInteract setPermutation, then it triggers the onPlace

[random flint]

Then cancel ur placement? Interaction takes priority over placing. Or do you want to do the opposite?

[warm drum]

How can I do that?

i figured it out

btw

is there a way to change a specific state without changing other block state?

[random flint]

permutation.withState() (return BlockPermutation)

it doesn't actually change the block, so you gotta use block.setPermutation() too

[warm drum]

That doesnt help much

nvm

[shy leaf]

how do i make spawnEntity to not trigger if the entity already exists?

tried filtering out by using tags or dynamic properties but it either doesnt work or the first entity wont spawn

[amber granite]

?

Elaborate

[shy leaf]

so i have a dummy entity that spawns and teleports to mobs in range when an event triggers

the dummy entities teleports via runInterval (and clearRun when the entity dies or disappears)

but i cant get the dummy entity to "not spawn when theres already an existing dummy entity on the mobs in range"

ill get you a vid

[amber granite]

U know

GetEntities array

[shy leaf]

yep

[amber granite]

Use it

Use the length proprety

[shy leaf]

i actually never used length property before

can you get me an example?

[amber granite]

getEntities({maxDistance : 40, type : "dummy"})

Then the length proprety

getEntities..length === 1 ?

And so on

[shy leaf]

what on the god's green earth is that

[amber granite]

Just put ur max distance

And the entity type

[shy leaf]

oh you mean

oh yeah no i cant do that

[amber granite]

And then check the length proprety

Because getEntities

Give u an array

Of those entities

[shy leaf]

ill get you a video hold on

you can see that the health bar doesnt update but overlaps instead
the health bar disappears when the mob dies

[amber granite]

I don't get it

[shy leaf]

yeah its a bit vague hold on

i shouldve tested with armor stand

[shy leaf]

when the event fires, the dummy entity spawns and teleports to affected mobs, updating the mob's health using nametag
but as you can see, the dummy entity spawns even if there's already an entity

[amber granite]

Yeah

Why is there Chinese?

[shy leaf]

thats korean

[amber granite]

U mean Chinese

[shy leaf]

🗿 thats korean and im korean

[amber granite]

That explains it

North Korean ?

[shy leaf]

🗿🗿

no and im glad im not from north

[amber granite]

Oh

I ll try something

[shy leaf]

const healthbar = system.runInterval(() => {
// spawnEntity(id).teleport(vector3) goes here...
if (entityded...) {
healthbar.remove()
system.clearRun(healthbar)
}```

writing code in discord is painful

so yeah thats how the spawnEntity code runs rn

[amber granite]

Agree

Hmmm

Am little busy

Right now

[shy leaf]

take your time

[amber granite]

But i ll try to fix it

Because i m working on something too

[shy leaf]

alright

[amber granite]

If u are not need it rn

[shy leaf]

yes its not really urgent, take your time

[amber granite]

Yes

[shy leaf]

ive thought of a workaround:
instead of making entities to summon upon hit by player, make all the entities in range to have a dummy entity without nametag, and then make a new entityHurt event that sets the nametag as health bar

it can be performace heavy because it spawns entities to all the mobs in range

but i can filter that out with health component

[random flint]

just cache the entity nameTag

if (!entity.nameEntity)
entity.nameEntity = dimension.spawnEntity() //No duplicate

[shy leaf]

you have to look at the entities to make the nametag appear

which is something i cant do anything with

thats why im using a dummy entity with custom nameable component for this

couldve been more simple if you could make an entity to ride without rideable component
but we cant have nice things

[random flint]

I would suggest still limiting it to a few entities per player.

[shy leaf]

for performance?

[random flint]

And visibility.

[shy leaf]

true

[thorn spindle]

Hey what's the difference between running a command with async and without?

[random flint]

Async return Promise and have a limit per tick

[abstract cave]

is script BP manifest necessary to make custom components or can you do it without

[hardy tusk]

Very likely yes

99%

[shy leaf]

ok so this turned out to be horribly inconveient

[thorn spindle]

Promise?

[fading sand]

How do i check if an entity is invincible and canot take damage from projectiles?

[shy leaf]

not sure if you can check it

if the entity is made invincible via entity json, you can check for the property, i think?

[fading sand]

I mean i need to check for it in script

[amber granite]

Yes it returns:
Promise 🤞🏻

[vast grove]

Promises Something after you request it.

[amber granite]

Nah promises

Are just a cllabacks

Something like them to handle errors too

Like try and catch with asynchronous

[vast grove]

I meant in a literal sense

[amber granite]

Yeah but

They are just a handlers

Same

[vast grove]

Dawg, english/literal sense. I wasn't commenting on a technological standpoint

[amber granite]

Oh

Yeah

Because that it called promise

Because it s like a contract between u and the language, to get something whatever it takes of time

But u will take it finally

Wo , u xab playAnimaton ?

[thorn spindle]

will the player.runCommand check if the player is OP or run pretty much every commands?

[vast grove]

It won't check

[amber granite]

Use isOp()

[vast grove]

That's still sortof broken

[amber granite]

Nah

Not actually

[prisma shard]

for real 💀💀

people who born there has 100% of bad luck 💀

[prisma shard]

hey sinevector! Can you make more tutorials for script api in your channel? you just stopeed at part 2 of script api, about creating forms

[tiny fable]

hello!
How can I open a inventory ui from script?

[thorn spindle]

Any way to detect left click? without animations controllers

[fading sand]

Help

[amber granite]

?

[amber granite]

Left click ?

[fading sand]

Invincible = has damage sensor/creative mode

[amber granite]

Oh

Yeah

U can use testfor command

And turn it into a function

And use it to know whether that entity is creative or not

[fading sand]

Wasnt there class too? Also i neef tp check for General invincibility

[thorn spindle]

Yeah attack

Punch

[hazy nebula]

    let container = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory");
    let item = container.getItem(player.selectedSlot);
    
    const lore = new ModalFormData()
      .title('§a• §fLore §a•')
      .textField('lore', 'Lore (Use (line) to break the line)');
    
    lore.show(player).then(res => {
      if (res.canceled) {
        return;
      }
      let loreText = res.formValues[0];
      if (!loreText) {
        player.sendMessage(`§a•≫ §4Please enter the lore content`);
      } else {
        let loreArray = loreText.split("(line)").map(line => line.trim());
        item.setLore(loreArray);
      }
    });
  }```

What wrong with it?

[sharp elbow]

What is it doing (or not doing)?

[amber granite]

With an item in ur hand ?

@thorn spindle ?

[thorn spindle]

Yep

[thorn spindle]

Like punching with an item inhand

[amber granite]

Yes

U can

There are events for that

[ionic kayak]

Using getBlockFromViewDirection can you also detect air blocks?

[amber granite]

No

[woven loom]

why would you detect that? it makes no sense

[turbid oriole]

I can't find a good Open Source repository to gain experience. Does anyone have anything I can work on? Github.

[untold magnet]

sup, how can i make entities move using scripts? setRotation(?)?

any answer?

[neat hound]

See methods under Entities and explore those that seem to move it
https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_11_0.Entity.html
It depends on how you want to move it. Rotation would turn in place, playAnimation seems like it would if defined for it, and teleport would move location.

[untold magnet]

its not working on the player, it says applyImpulse cannot be applied to the player

[fading sand]

Anyone got an idea how to check if an entity can take damage from an certain projectile? (Needs to be a way i can check instantly)

[shy leaf]

try applyKnockback

[untold magnet]

i wanna move the entity, not knock back it, I'll use it only if it works like the applyImpulse

[shy leaf]

impulse is the same thing as knockback

[neat hound]

can always TP them up that many blocks... same effect, no?

[shy leaf]

its just that knockback is for both players and entities

and impulse is for entities

[neat hound]

doesn't knockback push vertically

[shy leaf]

i think you can set that

[distant tulip]

yeah

[neat hound]

Yes, I see it can... https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_11_0.Entity.html#applyKnockback

[untold magnet]

I'll try it

[untold magnet]

i found a little problem, its not working on item entity, applyImpulse can move items & entitys, but not players

wait i got an idea

i better make that move entities & items using applyImpulse, and make another one but for the player

[vast grove]

I've been mainly focusing on software development which takes a long, long time. Plus those tutorials are outdated so I'm redoing them again.

[untold magnet]

i mean using both of them,
applyImpulse for items & entities
applyKnockback for the player

hmmm, i actually should make it not moving the player, so it will not be annoying

[fading sand]

Help

[wary edge]

entityHurt?

[fading sand]

I need to check if it can take damage in projectile hit event

[wary edge]

That doesn't seem possible as we don't have access to damage sensors

[fading sand]

And theres no other way arround? Like somehow make it take damage or define something that will become undefined when the entity cant take damage

[distant gulch]

anyone have an updated manifest I can use

[wary edge]

Wdym updated?

[valid scaffold]

Can you load a structure from the top down with scripts?

[glacial widget]

yeah structure manager

[valid scaffold]

Right, that's what I'm using, and I'm using the StructureAnimationMode to do layer by layer. But it always loads the structure from the bottom to the top. Is there a way to reverse this? There's no options to do so in the StructureManager.

hmm i actually dont know cuz i dont use structure manager as much

[fading sand]

@wary edge

[fair quarry]

How do I detect players in a radius of 10 blocks and add a tag to them?

I just need to know how do I detect the player

[shy leaf]

player.dimension.getEntities({maxDistance: 10, type: "player"})

[subtle cove]

player.dimension.getPlayers({ location: player.location, maxDistance: 10, excludeNames: [player.name]})

[random flint]

where is that container slot question

where did it go

[tiny fable]

any idea?

[random flint]

You can't do it by the "intended say".

Either:
A) Use JSON UI to display the inventory if certain elements appear on the client's screen.
B) Try recreate the inventory via ServerForms

You can't force UI to pop on the player's client.

This includes containers, furnaces, and crafting.

Except ServerForms. With its mechanic and appearance.

[tiny fable]

Well its a unfortunate truth that I'll have to accept. Thanks!

[tiny tartan]

how to fix this ^

as you can see that on right click with axe on plank it spawns stick but it does not load in inventory unless i do right click on stick

[hazy nebula]

anyone have setLore addon?

[elder heath]

a query, how do I give myself a book with an enchantment with js?

[woven loom]

see doc

[shy leaf]

did you put the stick code inside the axe use code

[turbid oriole]

Is there an add-on for Smash Bros type attacks?

[distant gulch]

Maybe on mcpedl

[hazy nebula]

Invalid Argument Error: Unexepted typed passed to function argument [0]. Expected type: number how to fix this error

[sharp elbow]

@hazy nebula What function? In what context? You need to describe much more for us to be able to answer that. The problem is what it says: You failed to pass a number—but we cannot know why

[dense skiff]

Say I wanted to run a test on a mob, like this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/filters/surface_mob?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental. Would I have to modify the mob's json file or is there a way to run the test from the scriptapi without modifying the mob?

[sharp elbow]

The simpler filters may have a scripting equivalent (e.g. has_tag, in_overworld, is_sneaking), but for those that do not I'm afraid you would need to modify the entity's definition.

[dense skiff]

yeah I don't think surface_mob has a script equivalent

[sharp elbow]

Although I am curious about what the game calls a "surface mob." If only the description was not so nebulous

[dense skiff]

i would like to use this on literally every mob lol it would bloat so much

i'm assuming a surface mob is a mob that spawns as a part of the surface cap instead of the cave cap

true for surface cap, false for cave cap

[sharp elbow]

If it is something like "test if the mob exists on the surface of the dimension," a la "around the sea level", that could be emulated by testing for a variety of things like sky exposure, height, biome, and so on

[dense skiff]

that's another reason i think its a test for whether the mob is part of the surface or cave cap-- because other things it could be can be done other ways

whether it's a part of the surface or cave cap is essentially a property it has-- it doesnt change caps after spawning no matter where it goes

[sharp elbow]

Perhaps that is something you could assign upon the entity's spawning, to be looked up on at any time thereafter

[dense skiff]

I looked into it

there are so many edge cases it would be very hard to maintain

it looks like either way of going about this would cause a host of issues when the game updates

[warm drum]

Has anyone made it yet?

so people dont need to reinvent the wheel

[amber granite]

The third way ?

@hazy nebula no crossposting

[distant tulip]

this cross posting rule is kinda bad
sending "can some one help me here Link"
shouldn't count as cross posting. the only think shouldn't be allowed is posting the same question in different channels

[wary edge]

Thats literally what they did

But also phising for help is hella annoying and shows youre impatient

[distant tulip]

lol
nvm then

[wary edge]

If youre truly irritated by such rules we have #1051300915161858120 for a reason

i can see how that will be annoying
you guys are active here more than me
so it is up to you

[warm drum]

how can we detect player break block then its position?

[prisma shard]

the position of the broken block?

[warm drum]

yeah

all i can find is permutation

[prisma shard]

import { system, world } from "@minecraft/server";
    world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((event) => {
        const {block,player} = event;
        const location = block.location
        if (block.typeId == "minecraft:diamond_block") {
           system.run(() => {
 player.runCommandAsync(`say ${location.x} ${location.y} ${location.z}`);
});
        }
    });```

[wary edge]

I would not recommend using the beforeevent

[warm drum]

player break block before event doesnt have block properties?

[granite badger]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_11_0.PlayerBreakBlockBeforeEvent.html it does

[warm drum]

im kinda sick with the microsoft doc

sometimes it said a feature is stable, but its not

now this....

[obsidian coyote]

What feature?

[warm drum]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerbreakblockbeforeevent?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental

nvm

it does say extend to block

[dense sun]

are there any alternatives other than runInterval

[prisma shard]

why so

[dense sun]

because it uses ticks

and i want to run in between ticks

like 1.5

0.5

0.6

[warm drum]

isnt it minecraft use tick as the fundemental time scale?

[prisma shard]

system.runInterval(() => {
     // this will run each 1.5 tick
}, 1.5)```

}, <tick>)

put the tick at the last line there

it will run each specefied ticks

is this what you wanted?

[granite badger]

hate to break this but they don't support float as a param, they'll just round the number up

[dense sun]

ah so that works?

oh damn

ye

it dosent use float as a param

[finite tree]

How can I add functions in hud elements ??

[prisma shard]

[warm drum]

If the item in entity state, they can group together, how can I remove just one item?

[crisp surge]

does anyone know why just recently ive been receiving delay opening mc settings or editing a world/realm?

[untold magnet]

guys, applyKnockback doesn't really work like applyImpulse

also i think the teleport thing will make the screen cannot be moved and kinda glitched

so is there anything i can use to move the player?

[cinder shadow]

you have to use applyKnockback

[prisma shard]

applyImpulse can't be used on player

[prisma shard]

^

[untold magnet]

ik

[amber granite]

I don't think float ticks are supported

[hasty spindle]

hi everyone,
i have a question, Is it possible that the result of a TextField of a menu can be written to another file to keep the data ?

[distant tulip]

no
use dynamic property

dose this not work anymore?
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/precise-interaction.html

[hasty spindle]

what is the goal of Dynamic Property ?

[distant tulip]

store numbers text boolean across reloads

and vectors3

[distant tulip]

this didn't work for me
so i made it the hard way 💀

[amber granite]

It looks very interesting thing

@distant tulip

Try to simulate a block like a vault with it

[distant tulip]

kinda the same

[amber granite]

Works ?

[distant tulip]

working on a building thing

[amber granite]

Only?

[distant tulip]

yeah the buttons work

[amber granite]

I thought u said building blocks

[amber granite]

So we can change texture

S

With it

[distant tulip]

yep
i don't mind sharing the code if you want

[distant tulip]

that block control some stuff

[hasty spindle]

ok for example if i want to keep that js const name = r.formValues[0] const data = (r.formValues[0] + block.location.x + block.location.y + block.location.z) how can i do ?

[amber granite]

That will be nice of you

[distant tulip]

player.setDynamicProperty("name", name)

[amber granite]

U can change textures ?

Of a block

[hasty spindle]

like that ? js if(r.formValues[0]) player.setDynamicProperty(name, name && block.location.x && block.location.y && block.location.z)

name is a const item

[distant tulip]

make sure the block collision is 1 px wide or you need to change the values
and pass the event to the function

[distant tulip]

no

[distant tulip]

not directly but you can

[hasty spindle]

so how ?

[amber granite]

Oh nice

[distant tulip]

player.setDynamicProperty(key, value)
key need to be a string
and the value one of the ones i said above
using
name && block.location.x && block.location.y && block.location.z
will just store a boolean and i don't think that what you want
convert the corrds to a string

[distant tulip]

just nice? lol
need more info?

i shared the idea here
https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1180134429734228060

[hasty spindle]

i think that can work js const name = r.formValues[0] const location = `${block.location.x} ${block.location.y} ${block.location.z}` if(r.formValues[0]) player.setDynamicProperty(name, location)

[distant tulip]

you can store block.location directly

[hasty spindle]

oh yes i'm stupid x)

[hasty spindle]

            const name = r.formValues[0]
            if(r.formValues[0]) player.setDynamicProperty(name, block.location)```

so that can work ?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[hasty spindle]

ok ty

[distant tulip]

but don't use name as key

use something that you know
so you can get the dp later

player.getDynamicProperty(key)

[valid ice]

You can also do setDynamicProperty(key, JSON.stringify({name: r.formValues[0], location: block.location})) and then JSON.parse(getDynamicProperty(key)) if you want to store an object of values.

[hasty spindle]

ok ty

[valid ice]

I would standardize the key across all players, though- no reason to have it different if you're storing standard data.

[glacial widget]

am confused am i being a dumbie or smth?

ps: nvm i fixed the problem lol

[hasty spindle]

ok but now i want to list every Dynamic Property of the player into the form UI but that don't work, can you help me ?

[woven loom]

Anyone tried Acode with typings ?

[hasty spindle]

no sorry but do you know how help me (message above)

i think this one

[hasty spindle]

@woven loom

[woven loom]

the code is wrong, to get the keys you use

let ids = player.getDynamicPropertyIds()

ids.forEach( id => {
    form.button( id )
} )

[hasty spindle]

ok but i want only the Dynamic Property with on their name the name of the player

[halcyon phoenix]

how do you change the entity facing?

[valid ice]

So run a filter beforehand

[hasty spindle]

how ?

[valid ice]

.filter

[hasty spindle]

then that ?js let ids = player.getDynamicPropertyIds()

[halcyon phoenix]

where is the documentation for spawnEntity?

in jayly

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.14.0-beta.1.21.20-preview.22/classes/Dimension.html#spawnEntity

[halcyon phoenix]

why stirante?

[wary edge]

Theyre the same?

[mystic mortar]

How would you spawn an item with nbt data? (like control pickblock with just scripts)

I saw that its possible with mob spawners but idk if it works for stuff like chests or barrels.

[wary edge]

You cant

[mystic mortar]

https://mcpedl.com/silk-touch-spawners-oc/

[halcyon phoenix]

is teleporting the entity the only way to change where it's facing?

[wary edge]

Download the pack and read its code then?

[halcyon phoenix]

hey uh what does ${} means?

like ${foo}

[wary edge]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals

[halcyon phoenix]

so it converts it to strings?

[mystic mortar]

Gotcha

[valid ice]

yes

let value = 54;
console.log('This is multiplication: ' + 54 * 2);
console.log("This is multiplication: " + 54 * 2);
console.log(`This is multiplication: ${54 * 2}`);

All three produce the same results

The third is just easier to read, for most folks

[hasty spindle]

i have a question, is it possible to get the name of buttons of a form UI ?

[valid ice]

Not unless you define them beforehand

[hasty spindle]

how can i define their name ?

[valid ice]

const array = ['name 1', 'name 2', 'whatever'];
array.forEach(name => form.buttom(name))

for instance

[hasty spindle]

yes but i talk about the result for identified their name

[valid ice]

then you index the array using the selection value to get back the name

[hasty spindle]

with r.selection, we get a number 0 until the end of the button

so no it's not their name

[valid ice]

You do array[r.selection]

[hasty spindle]

is it will give me their name and not a number ?

[valid ice]

yes

[hasty spindle]

ok ty

[hasty spindle]

are you here ?

[valid ice]

No

[hasty spindle]

nice x)

[mystic mortar]

Tried. Its obfuscated. -_-

[hasty spindle]

i want to test every dynamic property until find one with the same name of my buttons form UI

but that don't work

how can i do ?

[mystic mortar]

If anyone wants to help me, I would like some help trying to figure out how to spawn an item entity or give a player an item with additional data inside. (a (+DATA) item.)

Any help is appreciated.

[tight plume]

autocomplete?

[valid ice]

block.getItemStack(1, true)
The true copies the data of the block

[hasty spindle]

pls

[valid ice]

Idk what you’re asking for

[hasty spindle]

jsut one thing before i explain

the array for button give me number but i want the name of the buttons

let names = [r.selection]```

that give me numbers and not names

[valid ice]

You need the array name in front of the brackets

[hasty spindle]

i don't understand

[valid ice]

Please, learn JavaScript syntax before doing scripts- it makes things easier on yourself and people trying to help

[hasty spindle]

sorry, i will soon

[hasty spindle]

i did it

see js let names = [r.selection]

[cinder shadow]

That is literally the same thing you pasted 20 minutes ago

[hasty spindle]

yes but idk what he wants

[cinder shadow]

Then why did you say you did it

[hasty spindle]

can you tell me what he wants

[cinder shadow]

He wants you to watch a video on JS syntax

[hasty spindle]

i talk about this

i think i did what he said

[hasty spindle]

ik

[cinder shadow]

Then why did you ask what he wants

[hasty spindle]

because his sentence is not correct

[hasty spindle]

see js let names = [r.selection]

what's the difference ?

between is reponse and my code

[valid ice]

If you just have a variable in brackets, like you do (With no reference to an array), then it can do a few things.

1. If the variable is an array, it will return the first element in the array.
2. If the variable is not an array, it will return the value in an array

[hasty spindle]

i know that but you told me to do that before

how can i resolve the problem ?

[valid ice]

Note the differences

[wary edge]

I would highly recommend stop working on ScriptAPI and learn the basics of JS first. Please. It's frustrating not only for you but others as well

[valid ice]

Also note that array indexing is basic javascript/

[hasty spindle]

oh ik that

[valid ice]

well... use it then

[hasty spindle]

yes but that no what i want

my english is bad so i understand

[hasty spindle]

I would like the r.selection not to be a number but the original name given to the button

[ancient sierra]

Hello! Was the Vector class removed? I'm trying to import it but it doesn't exist?

[valid ice]

It was moved to the math module

[ancient sierra]

Interesting

As in the built-in Math global var?

[valid ice]

You can either bundle & import the math module or make your own vector class

[valid ice]

minecraft/math

[ancient sierra]

Ohh I see

[valid ice]

s' like the vanilla data module but for math funcs

[ancient sierra]

I'm gonna try and create it because why not ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ancient sierra]

Oh wait, since its from Minecraft, do I also need to add a minecraft/math dependency? Or is it just like those type modules you need to install and import?

[valid ice]

install & import- it's not included in the base game like server, server-ui, server-gametest and the rest are

yes it is supported.

q.is_baby?1.4:1 what : mean? what operator is it?

[ripe swan]

I'm working on a parity addon for dispensers dispensing armor stands. I'm doing it by subscribing to the entitySpawn afterEvent and checking to see if the entity was an armorstand item and if so, check to see if there's a dispenser around it facing the logically correct version to have dispensed it. If this checks out, then I kill the armor stand item and spawn an armor stand. This is for the most part working fine, , except I'm hitting a few edge cases. When I have a dispenser facing down and the resulting armor stand is broken in such a way that the "loot" armorstand item is spawned in the space below the dispenser, then it automatically changes back to the Armorstand entity.

anyone have any thoughts on if there's a better way of doing this or handling this issue?

I haven't been able to find a way to detect what spawned the entity that's triggered the event.

I'm doing this will all stable api's, I don't want to mess with trying to get experimental stuff to work.

[woven loom]

can u send short video

[pseudo timber]

anyone know where to find res stuff

[woven loom]

what?

[ripe swan]

Were talking to me regarding the short video?

[woven loom]

yep

[ripe swan]

Maybe match the triggered_bit to 1 as well?

Bah, it doesn't work if the Redstone pulse is too short

[subtle cove]

newer entity have higher entity.id

[warm drum]

I cant get the onTick to run

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(initEvent => {
    initEvent.blockTypeRegistry.registerCustomComponent('wiki:example', {
        onTick: (e) => {
            console.warn('TICK!');
        }
    });
});


"minecraft:tick":{
    "interval_range": [1, 1],
    "looping": true
}

What did I do wrong?

[halcyon phoenix]

can you do location.dimension.getEntities()?

can you get the dimension from a location?

[warm drum]

no

[halcyon phoenix]

I see

[halcyon phoenix]

is the one on the bottom inside a json?

[warm drum]

yeah, in the block

[halcyon phoenix]

you did not register the custom component

[warm drum]

already

[halcyon phoenix]

you also need to add "minecraft:custom_components"

that's what you put in the wiki:example

[halcyon phoenix]

oh what?

oh lol

[warm drum]

The interact works

not the onTick

thats strange

[halcyon phoenix]

I compared mine and yours there seems to be no problem

[warm drum]

it works now

[halcyon phoenix]

what.....

[warm drum]

Out of no where

it just spam my console

[halcyon phoenix]

try increasing the ticks

oh lol

[warm drum]

💀

[halcyon phoenix]

it probably was not working cause it's very fast?

[warm drum]

i think it has to do with the block is placed before the change is made?

i assume when add the minecraft:tick component, it applies too

[amber granite]

Script API is typing

[halcyon phoenix]

is math bad for minecraft?

[valid ice]

What

[halcyon phoenix]

division and multiplication and stuff

[valid ice]

Why would math be bad for the game

[halcyon phoenix]

lag and stuff

does it affect the performance?

[valid ice]

Math operations are the last thing that would ever slow down the game

[halcyon phoenix]

ahh I see

I was worrying for something dumb

[valid ice]

Any modern code engine can handle metric tons of math operations with blistering speed

Unless you are making high-iteration code (in the tens of thousands) or using numerical methods to calculate stuff, you do not ever need to worry about it

[halcyon phoenix]

Thank you for the explanation

Trigonometry is fun 🙃

[glacial widget]

import { system, world } from '@minecraft/server';

    const {player: source, itemStack, block} = ui
    
    if(block.typeId == "minecraft:diamond_block"){
        console.warn("works")
    }
})

does anyone know why this does not work?

[halcyon phoenix]

is there error on the logs?

also is the player supposed to have colon? or comma?

{player, source, itemStack, block}

[glacial widget]

nope

none

[glacial widget]

letme check taht

taht*

that*

bru

[subtle cove]

const source = ui.player
const { player: source } = ui

[halcyon phoenix]

you need sleep

[glacial widget]

oh alr

const {player: source, itemStack} = ui
    const block = ui.block

[subtle cove]

the colon is just to rename the variable

[halcyon phoenix]

im confused on the format

[glacial widget]

alr thank you

[subtle cove]

just practice w/o the {} for now

[glacial widget]

i did wwithout the {} and still does not work

i updated my npms so it cant be that

[subtle cove]

wrong property key then

[glacial widget]

playerInteractWithBlock does not work anymore or smth?

[subtle cove]

w8 it's right properties there

[glacial widget]

yeah, so am confused

is it probably the block?

[subtle cove]

put the warn just above the if condition

[glacial widget]

alr

[subtle cove]

just spam em console.warns lol

[glacial widget]

lol

still does nothing

[subtle cove]

so file isnt active, BP inst working...

[glacial widget]

na it is

i tried itemUse and works fine

but playerInteract doesn't

[prisma shard]

stable or beta api

[glacial widget]

using beta api

[valid ice]

Wait for calculus 😛

[prisma shard]

playerInteractWithBlock should work with beta api

[glacial widget]

am not getting any errors at all

[subtle cove]

works fine 4 me :/

[glacial widget]

could you show me the code plz

cuz how

[subtle cove]

.

[shy leaf]

can someone help me with math later
i cant post code rn but ill be here in 10 mins

[glacial widget]

?

Try doing it with your empty hand and interact the block

[wary edge]

Use a brush to interact with the block

[glacial widget]

thats what i been doing but still nothing

is the file even working?

Logic error perhaps? Or your file isn't imported?

    console.warn("works")
    if(block.typeId == "minecraft:diamond_block"){
        world.sendMessage("hey")
    }
})

I see the mistakes now

[random flint]

I don't even know what the mistake is lol

[amber granite]

The mistake is misleading

In Oxford's dictionary

[glacial widget]

the const's were wrong i think

[misty pivot]

i used ItemStopUse to detect weather the player stopped using the item before it completely finishes but for some reason it doesn't run, it's kinda like this

world.afterEvents.itemStopUse.subscribe((data) => {
    const useDuration = data.useDuration;
    if (useDuration > 0) {
        ...
    }
})```

[valid ice]

Does it trigger if you have something outside of the useDuration part?

[misty pivot]

nope

oh wait, i actually didn't test that

nvm it didn't run

[hasty spindle]

I would like the r.selection not to be a number but the original name given to the button

[valid ice]

Does the item have the chargeable component on it?

[valid ice]

so reference from the original array, like I showed you in the screenshot

[misty pivot]

the item uses use_modifiers

[glacial widget]

do you understand why?

[valid ice]

alright

That's weird, because my item triggers the event

[random flint]

whats ur minecraft version?

[subtle cove]

/reload ?

[misty pivot]

last time i checked the function has no errors aswell

[glacial widget]

1.21.2

[glacial widget]

did that with no errors

[misty pivot]

i mean, i did try it in separate worlds multiple times, does reload make a difference? (mb mb, wrong reply)

[hasty spindle]

yes ik but the r.selection get the name of the dynamic property but me i want just the name of the button

[random flint]

Try to rejoin the world then

[valid ice]

So index from the array you are displaying in the buttons, or transform the gotten dynamic property name after you get it to make it look like the button name.

[random flint]

const buttonNames = [];
buttonNames.forEach((name)=>{
serverForm.button(name);
})
serverForm.show(player)
.then((response)=>{
console.warn("Name: "+buttonNames[response.selection])
})

[shy leaf]

ok so i have a code that tracks the change in health via white bar
damaging works fine but i cant figure out how to do healing part

[glacial widget]

i fixed it

[random flint]

What was the stupid bug was?

[cold grove]

So pretty!

[subtle cove]

use healthChange event

[shy leaf]

i mean yeah im using that

i should be more specific

oh damn wait i think i figured it out

[subtle cove]

oldValue newValue difference

[shy leaf]

yeah im also using that

i think i found the issue

[dusky cipher]

Is there a good way to prevent tnt from dropping items

[misty pivot]

turns out i just forgot to use typeId in the funciton

[valid ice]

explosion after events -> get impacted blocks -> kill entities at block location for each

[dusky cipher]

Oh thanks, thats so much better than what i tried to do

[valid ice]

Do I want to know what you tried?

[dusky cipher]

no

lol

[valid ice]

No math?

[random flint]

explosion before events -> cancel -> get impacted blocks -> set blocks into air

better than killing the entity tbh, it could risk killing some innocent bystander

[cinder shadow]

whar

[valid ice]

Me when my dog gets .remove()’d

[cinder shadow]

there is a 0.1% chance of killing an innocent bystander

[random flint]

what happened if the block broken is a container like chest? (filled)

It would be janky to search the correct one

[cinder shadow]

they said they want it to not drop anything

[valid ice]

Then get all entities at block location and filter ones if the item component type ID matches the broken block!

(This is a joke btw)

[dusky cipher]

i was going to filter items by the typeid by getting the blocks broken

which wouldve worked but it wouldve been kinda slow

[valid ice]

Also don’t forget to filter out air blocks from getImpactedBlocks()

[random flint]

it can pickup air?

[valid ice]

It makes the array of blocks much shorter and easier on the engine

Yep

It can

[dusky cipher]

ok got it thanks

[valid ice]

My code for before explosion was not the fastest thing ever- still isn’t- but removing all air from impacted blocks make a significant difference

[random flint]

Won't this not work for some blocks?

Stone turns into cobblestone, And some ore becomes the raw materials.

[dusky cipher]

yeah but i can work around that with a few arrays

it would jsut be slow

but i think i can fix it

[valid ice]

I wish getItemStack() had a parameter for silk touch or something

[random flint]

tbh, this approach sounds more clean

[dusky cipher]

yeah it might be, ill try both

shouldnt take long

[hasty spindle]

that don't work

the console log me : Name: undefinied

[honest spear]

No math?

https://tenor.com/view/megamind-gif-26070434

not related to vanilla JS

[warm drum]

is it possible?

or I have to use lootable?

IDK man, I never use JS for other stuff

Make that one Spinning donut maybe

[honest spear]

I mean functions/class/variables/prototype this kind of stuff

[warm drum]

i have like 32 block that follow the same format except for the id

[honest spear]

You can call getItemStack from permutation so you can use that

[warm drum]

and i dont want to make 32 lootable file for each of them

[random flint]

Dimension.spawnItem(item: ItemStack, location: Vector3)

[warm drum]

i have only the string?

[honest spear]

then get permutation for that string

BlockPermutation.resolve("myblock:yes");

Using the Vector3 interface across the codebase is convenient. Positions are already stored as Vec3s—that function signature could easily be teleport(x, y, z), but then any call to it would need to "deconstruct" a vector, rather than just passing it directly

[valid ice]

Back in my day we had Location & BlockLocation API classes

[sharp elbow]

Teleporting a player to themselves could be written as the following, but thankfully it is not.
player.teleport(player.location.x, player.location.y, player.location.z)

does anyone have a database for saving items

[glacial widget]

import { world, system, Player} from '@minecraft/server';
import { ActionFormData, MessageFormData, ModalFormData, ModalFormResponse } from "@minecraft/server-ui";

const rule = new ActionFormData()
.title("Rules")
.body("Test")


world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ui) =>{
    const player = ui.player
    const block = ui.block
    
    console.warn("works")
    if(block.typeId == "minecraft:lectern"){
        player.sendMessage("the rules")
        rule.show(player)
    }
})

i dont understand the error for the actionform not opening, could someone help?

[chrome flint]

import { world, system, Player} from '@minecraft/server';
import { ActionFormData, MessageFormData, ModalFormData, ModalFormResponse } from "@minecraft/server-ui";

const rule = new ActionFormData()
.title("Rules")

.button(`test button`,"textures/ui/arrow_left")


world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(async (ui) =>{
    const player = ui.player
    const block = ui.block
    
    console.warn("works")
    await null
    if(block.typeId == "minecraft:lectern"){
        player.sendMessage("the rules")
        rule.show(player)

Thanks

[fading sand]

isnt there also ntityApplyDamageByProjectile?

or is it smth different?

[cinder shadow]

I enjoy that as my code gets more complex, I eventually have no idea what I'm doing and I start making miscellaneous variables and doing 100 different things until something works 😔

at least it works

[fading sand]

?

[wary edge]

Refactor time!

[cinder shadow]

no that's what I've already done several times

it took me an entire year to finally work on this junk again

I'll throw it to chatGPT and see if it says anything reasonable

[valid ice]

“Yeah naw bro just restart”

• chat GPT

[cinder shadow]

to be fair, these variables are probably necessary

[chrome flint]

this is what i do everytime lol, its the result of working on something for a long time and forgetting about things and being lazy to review it all

but at least it works tho

[fading sand]

how does EntityApplyDamageByProjectile work?

[sudden nest]

Zoomer

[pale terrace]

damagingProjectile, but my entitiy isnt a projectile

[fading sand]

Sure it not makes projectile damage? Or did you already try it? Because the name says apply damage by projectile, so basicaly apply projectile damage

[pale terrace]

it throws a log error saying projectile doesnt exist

nvm I will use entityAttack

[amber granite]

Hey anyone here knows translation keys rules ?

[fading sand]

I thought its smth different than ApplyDamage..

Like entity.applyDamageByProjectile

[wary edge]

Wdym?

[amber granite]

So

I want to make an algorithm

That returns item name based on id

[tawny peak]

does anyone know what this means?

[Scripting] ReferenceError: Native function [HttpClient::get] does not have required privileges.    at <anonymous> (cmd.js:21)```

[amber granite]

Use system.run(()=> {})

[tawny peak]

ohh

[amber granite]

If u use beforeEvents

Classes

[tawny peak]

thanks

[amber granite]

Uw

Use it on things

That need to be written in worlds

Like spawnEntity etc...

beforeEvents are just for reading

And cancelling the events

[wary edge]

item.id

[amber granite]

?

[distant tulip]

kinda not true
there is some things you can do like setting dynamic property

[valid ice]

That does not exist sean

[amber granite]

U know what translation keys means?

[wary edge]

Fuck you mean?

[drifting raven]

The format for naming items in .lang changed

Old: item.sirlich:hoe.name=Hoe
New: item.sirlich:hoe=Hoe

Essentially you just need to remove the .name

Jul 18, 2024, 12:02 AM

[valid ice]

id aint a property on item

[open urchin]

they want to get the item display name with scripts
it isn't always in that format

there's no way currently

[amber granite]

They !

[wary edge]

They just asked for the translation key pattern

[valid ice]

oh I see

[amber granite]

Who is they ?

[wary edge]

YOU

[amber granite]

I am he

Ok

But

[open urchin]

they is neutral
like you

[amber granite]

Item.id

Or idj dosen't work

[wary edge]

Right....vanilla items still use the old format...why they have two different formats is peak Mojang moment

[amber granite]

So

There is no static format

For vanilla's items

[wary edge]

item.id.name

[amber granite]

Doesn't work

On some items

Or lot of them

[shy leaf]

sorry 😔

[amber granite]

Finally

[shy leaf]

ok nvm i still have issues

so the health bar is built like this
the length of health bar depends on effectiveMax (or set value), and outside the health bar code, it gets damage done via getting oldvalue + currentvalue(not newvalue) and stores into entity's dp, named 'health diff'

the red part is current value of hp, and the gray part is calculated by removing the amount of hp and 'health diff' dp on health bar length

inside runinterval, theres a code that reduces 'health diff' dp that it creates white part in health bar dynamically

but since only the empty part is calculated, it cant set the red part

which makes the white part to show on gray part (you can notice it if you look closely in the vid)

[valid ice]

I cannot see that

Are white & grey separate things? What do each do?

[shy leaf]

gray is 'empty part of hp bar' and white shows damage done

ill record a vid

iron golem's hp is way too large so its a bit unnoticable

[valid ice]

If I understand this right:

• Dark red is missing HP from max
• Light red is current HP
• White is damage done
• Dark red replaces white slowly

[shy leaf]

wait no its not gray

its dark red lmao sorry

[valid ice]

ah gotcha

So three colors then

[shy leaf]

ye

recording rn

[valid ice]

edited understanding there

[shy leaf]

i can post the code if you want, i just have to strip the unrelated code

the hp bar wasnt supposed to disappear but since the white part exceeds the hp bar length it just breaks

[random flint]

Can't you just delay it?

[amber granite]

I think i made the best function to retrieve Name based on ID

[shy leaf]

the hp part?

[random flint]

Is it supposed to disappear when the HP deduction animation is done playing?

[shy leaf]

no its supposed to stay

but well its smth i can fix later

[random flint]

What does keeping the HP bar do when the entity representing it already died?

[shy leaf]

well

why not, i wanna keep the feeling of one shotting mobs

it was kaioga's idea lol

[random flint]

If it length issue, there's Math.min() and Math.max()

[valid ice]

^

[shy leaf]

wait what does it do

[valid ice]

Math.min(0, 6) returns 0 as its lower

[random flint]

Chose between numbers which one is smaller or larger

[valid ice]

Math.max(0, 6) returns 6 because it’s higher

[shy leaf]

holy

[valid ice]

Using both, you can “clamp” a number between a min & a max- in your case, between zero and the max HP of the entity

[shy leaf]

i never knew those existed omg

[valid ice]

[shy leaf]

i can finally get rid of hundreds of if else

[valid ice]

[shy leaf]

(dont question it please)

[valid ice]

I am scared for your sanity

I am questioning it

[shy leaf]

well you see

[random flint]

I mean, it's possible recreating it using if else lol

[shy leaf]

i only started scripting like

two? three? weeks ago

[valid ice]

But like, min & max are… pretty basic…

[shy leaf]

in my defense i probably missed those in JS tutorials

[valid ice]

I am scared for what other built in functions you may be missing

[shy leaf]

pain

[valid ice]

I’m sure

[amber granite]

I have no idea

What i made

But if f up everything 💀
