Script API General

[nimble schooner]

Ty

[thorn flicker]

does anyone have an issue with custom components making the block interactable even without onPlayerInteract?

[open urchin]

there's no way to stop that currently

[thorn flicker]

cool.

thanks.

[nimble schooner]

How to store all metadata of an itemStack? Even if its a book and quil?

[distant tulip]

metadata?

[shy leaf]

its already out in planetminecraft

[distant tulip]

link

[shy leaf]

ehhhh im not sure if i can post it here

just search dungeons combat

[wary edge]

I thought it was fixed in 1.21? Or was it fixed in .10?

[open urchin]

if a block has the custom components component it becomes interactable
they made it so that the interaction resulted in the held block being placed if the custom component doesn't include the onPlayerInteract listener but it doesn't work perfectly

but there's no way to actually stop it from being interactable

[distant tulip]

no rule against that but sure
thanks

[wary edge]

if a block has the custom components component it becomes interactable
Yeah that's fixed right?
but it doesn't work perfectly
You still have issues with this?

[amber granite]

He means data values

[open urchin]

no, it's not fixed

[wary edge]

So it must be in preview then

[open urchin]

no

[wary edge]

What do you mean no?

[amber granite]

Then use playerInteractWithBlock event

[open urchin]

i hate typing on phone I can explain tomorrow

[nimble schooner]

The text written in a book, for the other stuff I‘ve made something 5 months ago

Getting it as a string

[wary edge]

https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-179928 Yeah it should be resolved

[drifting pollen]

(MCPE-179928) Any Custom Component makes blocks interactable

Reported by

SmokeyStack

Status

Done (Resolved)

Resolution

Fixed

[amber granite]

U don't meaN nbt tags ?

[open urchin]

which versio. do they say they resolved it in

[wary edge]

Read my comment in the bug report

[distant tulip]

we can't do that

[open urchin]

that change does not resolve your bug report
they just added a janky block placement system when the block is interacted with

[wary edge]

When you have time please show me a video of what exactly youre having problems with bc i havent experienced this ever since the fix

[north rapids]

Is there an event that detects durability damage?

[unique dragon]

anyone know about bedrock protocols? like: minecraft://?, i want to open the servers tab using web :c
#off-topic

[pale terrace]

no

[nimble schooner]

Damn but ty

[distant tulip]

sub for all the events that can cause damage
item use
block break
...
compare the damage in the before and after event

[wary edge]

If its for custom items then yes, but only for entity hit

[north rapids]

When attacking with a tool, even without an event to consume durability, it loses 2 durability points. I want to stop this, I already tried using entityHitEntity to detect the attack and add durability again, but when the attack does not cause damage, it still consumes durability...

I need to find a solution for this

[wary edge]

Is this for a custom item?

[north rapids]

Yep

[wary edge]

Then do the method above that i said

[distant tulip]

remove the durability component?

[wary edge]

That's not what they want

[north rapids]

I need it

[wary edge]

Use the onBeforeDurabilityDamage custom component @north rapids

[distant tulip]

ah

[north rapids]

Wich method?

[north rapids]

Oh, thanks

Is it possible to cancel the event with event.cancel?

[somber cedar]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/interfaces/_minecraft_server_1_12_0_beta.ItemCustomComponent.html#onBeforeDurabilityDamage

there’s event.durabilityDamage

[north rapids]

Ok tks ya

[pale terrace]

is there an event when an entity touch a block? I cant find one

[wary edge]

Like steps on? Only for custom components

[pale terrace]

no, literally touch a block It can be by stepping on it or touching the side

By the way, how do you manage to be in several places almost at the same time? you literally just wrote in minecraft feedbacks

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1113334873885773856/1197232735740239973/togif-19.gif

[amber granite]

There is block break , item use events

[median stream]

How do you detect if the held itemStack has enchantments?

[pale terrace]

getComponent("enchantable").getEnchantments

[shy leaf]

how do i replace spawn event in summon command with scripts

do i just use triggerEvent

[wary edge]

Yeah

[shy leaf]

nice ty

also what is better to use overall

player.dimension.spawnEntity or world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).spawnEntity

[small depot]

can you share the link pls

[small depot]

first one

[shy leaf]

sent in dms

[shy leaf]

cuz its shorter?

[small depot]

no, cause the second one is first trying to get the dimension

then spawning the entity

[shy leaf]

ah so first one is faster overall

[small depot]

and the first one already has the dimension

[shy leaf]

nice ty

[small depot]

thanks

[amber granite]

No differences

Wait

[shy leaf]

well ig first one is more clean

[amber granite]

Yeah use the first

But it gives u the same result

[wary edge]

First one since youre already calling dimension.
2nd one houre calling dimension to get its id, then using world to get the dimension class based on the id

[shy leaf]

got it

[wary edge]

Which is redundant

Too many api calls if it matters

[shy leaf]

now this is weird

spawnEntity that has triggerEvent doesnt seem like its working

to be more specific, the entity spawns when the player uses the item, which goes boom and give effect to nearby enemies
and the event should make the player to be unaffected

[shy leaf]

turns out the entity json is more complicated than i thought

god

oh christ i found it nevermind

[runic crypt]

guys

can i send a file here i need some help

can anyone tell/make it so that

the select a player is a drop-down menu

and the select amount is a slider ?

with increment of $1000 per level ?

[prisma shard]

I am back

i was disappeared almost for a month

[shy leaf]

have you checked modal forms doc

[runic crypt]

i did but couldn't find anything

[shy leaf]

there is one that explains dropdown menu

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server-ui/modalformdata?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable#dropdown

[neat hound]

Are you in a universe where being gone 10 days is a month... you had ubber activity on 07/18/24

[shy leaf]

literally interstellar

[neat hound]

I stil gotta see that....

[tiny tartan]

i hope you are safe bro

[neat hound]

He is fine. We wiped his memory. He will not remember being caged with 2 creepers in a deep dark cave. We gathered good data and will proceed to abduct the next "volunteer"

[random flint]

I had a weird dream where I was in a dark room with two green roommates.

[valid ice]

Average college experience

[valid ice]

@cinder shadow sorry for ping but I vaguely recall you saying something about getBlockFromViewDirection/getBlockFromRay stopping when it reaches any block even if it's an excludedType? Can't find anything on this, tho

[cinder shadow]

I don't know if it will stop when it hits an excluded type

Just that if you include water, it will still require a solid block at the end to hit or it won't work @valid ice

[random flint]

BlockRaycastOptions.includeLiquidBlocks (?)

[distant gulch]

Hello

Is it possible to control fall damage intensity, fall speed and jump height with a score using scripts?

[amber granite]

Does someone knows how can i make customized structure using script api ?

[acoustic basin]

guys, how do i use LocationOutOfWorldBoundariesError to cancel the error which appears all the time

[woven loom]

that's an error, you aren't supposed to "use" it

[acoustic basin]

but like with watchdog how i can cancel it, maybe i can cancel this one too?

[remote oyster]

Can't cancel that. You can only aim to mitigate/prevent the error.

[acoustic basin]

so how can i try and mitigate/prevent it?

[remote oyster]

By first determining the cause and effect.

[prisma shard]

how can i get the "distance" between two locations?

help

[woven loom]

let dx = b.x - a.x
let dy = b.y - a.y
let dz = b.z - a.z
let dis = Math.hypot(dx,dy,dz)

[prisma shard]

thx

i could just use the substract function from vector.js

I am using custom class vector

[woven loom]

sorry I missed the main thing

[prisma shard]

oh lol

Now i understand, i have to use math.hypot

thanks

[pallid portal]

Just to see if I understand this right.

A script is there to basically give a set of instructions (like an event in this case for a block). And it is supposed to make things easier for addons to use. (namely have multiple blocks use the same script)

What I got so far is, while using an example of stripping logs of a certain wood type.
The log would refer to the script for an event where Wood X log becomes Wood X stripped log.

But now, what if I want to do the same thing with a different wood type?

Would I be able to use the same script, or should I now make a separate script for Wood Y?

If I use the former, I end up with Wood Y log becoming Wood X stripped log.
And if I use the latter, I end up with a script for for each and every wood type....

Where did Mojang supposedly claim that this would make writing addons easier when they removed Holiday Creator features that had these events part of each json file!!?

[distant tulip]

you can make one script that deal with all logs

send what you got currently

[pallid portal]

I'll look it up, thanks.

I have been trying to follow guides, but they dont really explain what does what.
The Microsoft learn and bedrock wiki were not that clear on that.

Even a template that used Eventdata does not seem to work.

This leaves me with no real code to show for it, sadly.

This is the template I was trying to use: https://github.com/Kaioga5/Kaioga-s-Block-Templates/blob/main/templates/1.20.80/slab/behavior_pack/scripts/onInteract.js#L9

[amber granite]

No dosen't use that method

Use the tchebychev distance

max(|x1 - x2| , |y1 - y2|)

[distant tulip]

you need to list the logs and there striped variant

const list = {
  "x":"x_striped",
  "y":"y_striped",
  "z":"z_striped",
  //...
}

and then when the interaction happen, get the block id and then get the stripped variant

const stripped_variant = list[block.typeId]

[pallid portal]

ah, ok.

Thank you, Minato! ❤️

[distant tulip]

ur wlc

[glacial widget]

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((e) => {
    const { player, block, itemStackBeforeBreak } = e;
    const blocklocation = world.getDimension("overworld").getBlock({ x: 24, y: 87, z: 74 });

    let ckey = world.scoreboard.getObjective("commonkey");

    if (block.typeId == "minecraft:iron_ore" && blocklocation) {
        world.sendMessage(`§d§lHCV KitPvP >> §a${player.name} has found a Common key while mining iron`);
        ckey.addScore(player, ckey);
    }
});

how do i define addScore

[woven loom]

whats the issue in this

[glacial widget]

its the addScore

for some reason its not defined

[distant tulip]

ckey is the one not defined

"can't get function addScore of undefined" or something like this?

[glacial widget]

wait how

[glacial widget]

yeah

[shy leaf]

does the world have commonkey objective

[glacial widget]

yes

wait

i dont think so

[distant tulip]

do

const ckey = world.scoreboard.getObjective("commonkey")?? world.scoreboard.addObjective("id:commonkey","commonkey")

[glacial widget]

i fixed it, thank you somuch

[glacial widget]

dw the getObj was wrong lol

[distant tulip]

you still need addObjective

[glacial widget]

yh did that

[amber granite]

Is playerPlaceBlock before events exist or not ?

[tiny tartan]

yup it does

[amber granite]

I didn't find ir

It

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.14.0-beta.1.21.20-preview.24/classes/PlayerPlaceBlockBeforeEvent.html

[amber granite]

Beta

Is there something i can do about that ?

[true isle]

This is for a slab anyways. You want the logs template. They all work

[glacial widget]

maybe check your npm list

[distant tulip]

no?

[amber granite]

beforeEvents

[glacial widget]

its probably his npm files

[amber granite]

No

[glacial widget]

did you check bro?

[distant tulip]

maybe item use

[glacial widget]

with playerPlaceBlock?

[distant tulip]

placing blocks count as item use

but you can't cancel the placing with it

[amber granite]

Yes

[amber granite]

Yeah i think

I ll use afterEvents

Then turn the player's block to air

[neat hound]

From reading this, I gather you are not a programmer, correct? There is no way a programmer would make the statement you made. It is understandable that you see it this way. But I assure you, the power we have right now to create via code is infinitely better than HCF.

My suggestion is that you take a basic JavaScript tutorial and learn about object oriented programming. You will quickly learn if you have an aptitude for this or not. It is not for everyone.. and that is okay.

Side note. I have been a programmer for many many* years on other platforms and I had to fully learn JavaScript before I let myself touch scripting API. And good thing I did...

The teacher I recommend is Mosh Hamedani (CodeWithMosh...youtube or udemy or his website). Take the JavaScript Basics class and the Node JS class.. There are many other teachers/classes on youtube.

Good Luck.

[pallid portal]

yes please.
And thank you.

[pale terrace]

what is node js for?

[true isle]

He has that in his repo. It'll be under logs or wood ect.

[pale terrace]

I think to automate things?

[neat hound]

Gives you a better insite into the object oriented side and event processing

[pallid portal]

not at all XD
Just a dabbler.

I was able to make a working addon before the experimental feature got nuked.
Learning how to write scripts is a new level of frustration when one tutorial teaches one thing. But that principle does not work when applied to another scenario. And looking up how a script is supposed to work in that scenario (namely using a template that supposedly works, but does not for some reason) has been frustrating.

Thanks for the advice and well wishes.
I'll need that. lol

[runic crypt]

guys how do i make a script for floating leaderboards ?

[woven loom]

armor stand with invisibilty

scale it down so no one can kill

[amber granite]

Script api is better tho

Make the game more modifiable

And easier to do that

• learning js is good because is one of the most famous programming languages

[neat hound]

When I first looked at code snippets, I was lost too. There are too many ways to do the same thing and I was not used to that. After learning the language, it will make sense somewhat. Especially if people write code more for readability instead of all the built in shortcuts. Those make it so you have to really know the language to understand what the code is doing, whereas readability makes it so anyone can follow the logic. Other languages are better for this. If you kinda like programming after you have a taste, I suggest Python.

[distant tulip]

i kinda learned script api before js lol
but i have experience in other languages

[amber granite]

They said it s not good to start with python

It's better to start with js

All seniors suggest that

[woven loom]

python is stupid for this

mobile devs would have hard time coding with tons of spaces

[neat hound]

They say a lot of things... and since everyone is not the same, the information may or may not be true. Either is fine, but for quickness in getting into a programming frame of mind from none, then it is more readable, this can be better for a beginner to dabble in the possibilities

[amber granite]

But also js is readable XD

There is no typing

[neat hound]

the python suggestion was not for scripts but for learning any coding

[amber granite]

There are no restrictions

[woven loom]

oh nvm then

[amber granite]

Everything is fine and as itended 🙂 👍🏻

[neat hound]

not the severe refacting show off stuff...

[woven loom]

send nukes to anyone suggest py for mc scripting

[neat hound]

no one did... you misunderstood

[pale terrace]

xD

[woven loom]

in general

[amber granite]

Nah , all programming languages are fine except of one specific language

[pale terrace]

although some do automated things with py

https://tenor.com/view/yumeko-cat-silly-smell-kitten-gif-17171471

[amber granite]

Py used for front-end

So they are both important

[woven loom]

py used for front end ?

[amber granite]

Yes

[woven loom]

when did that happen

[amber granite]

Many languages

[amber granite]

Alot

[neat hound]

Yes.. I wrote a few of my regolith filters in python and I did not know the language... that is how easy it is to use and understand. I was able to take another's code, understand it, look up a few things and w rite in python.

[amber granite]

Back-end

[woven loom]

js is the only front end lang i see on web

[amber granite]

Not front-end

[woven loom]

yea

[amber granite]

My bad

[woven loom]

i was like how the heck py ended up in browser all of sudden

[pale terrace]

The same thing happened to me but with js xD

[amber granite]

In ur opinion, do u think py is easier to learn than js ?

[pale terrace]

Until now I have done countless things with js and I have never seen any tutorial, I learned by myself

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cat-tongue-white-cat-cat-fun-cat-cute-gif-17563023

[neat hound]

I am not a good one to ask, I am programmer, probably longer than you have been alive, I have an aptitude for and can learn anything logical...

[woven loom]

the sad part about js is it all ends up with node, or browser no vanilla stuff

[neat hound]

Yes, but that does not mean you are writing good code. I see some of the things people write... and they are not optimzed or using best practices... but does not matter much, so I keep my mouth shut

[amber granite]

Yeah but, which one do u prefer rn

[neat hound]

I have not fully learned python yet, I have no use for it right now, But I like it. I will have to see how it's OOP is first.

[pale terrace]

That is learned by experimenting, asking, etc.

[woven loom]

for me its way to simple which makes it hard

[pale terrace]

even AI helps with that

[neat hound]

I guess preference is for the one I know.. there are a lot of things I like about it. I use SQL daily and now I wish I could have some JS features in... and then sometimes when I look up how to do something is JS, I am like YGTBFK me...

[neat hound]

blind leading the blind sometimes..

[pale terrace]

experience is not blind and much less an AI

[neat hound]

That is not what that means.. LOL

[pale terrace]

XD

[amber granite]

Ai is not good for beginners

[neat hound]

Some people here will suggest a better way to do something, but a lot of that just comes with experience in coding period

[pale terrace]

No, it is only useful for mathematical things SOMETIMES and to ask functions

[amber granite]

Not really

Chat gpt-4o

[neat hound]

I do not use AI, have never chat gpt'd... don't even know where it is... I am old school, I'd rather do for myself

[amber granite]

Is great for some script api, it has updated one

[pale terrace]

true

[amber granite]

Chat gpt 4o only

[pale terrace]

obviously its possibilities of use are great

[amber granite]

Not always

[neat hound]

Ever heard of Garbage-In, Garbage-Out?

[amber granite]

No

[neat hound]

Ah, you young people....

[pale terrace]

It is a very useful and advanced tool. If you ever have any questions, you can use it, maybe it will help you.

[pale terrace]

My native language is not English.

so no

[amber granite]

Yeah

[pale terrace]

Are you 70 years old or what? haha

[neat hound]

Well I do use it by using Alexa and Google home mini... but that is a far as I go...

[amber granite]

☠️ alexa and Google dosen't contain chat gpt i guess

[neat hound]

No, but I have a 19yr old college student son... so older than you

[pale terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-staring-cat-cat-mr-fresh-fresh-gif-4714710619997780774

[amber granite]

☠️

[neat hound]

but it is still AI...

[amber granite]

Yeah , somehow

[pale terrace]

I wonder how you ended up here?

[neat hound]

Well... cliffnotes.... started playing MC during "the germ era" to bond with son... => realms => command blocks => add-ons

[amber granite]

That s little odd

[neat hound]

How so?

[amber granite]

Nvm

[neat hound]

Enough with the # off topic.... back to programming... any questions out there?

[valid ice]

Anyone know if getBlockFromRay stops if it hits a block in the excludeTypes param?

[pale terrace]

let me try

[pale terrace]

no, it doesnt stop

completely ignore the block

[valid ice]

excellect, ty

[glacial widget]

alr thats fine

[last latch]

how much ram does a world have? 100 mbs?

[glacial widget]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((e) =>{
  const {player, itemStack, block} = e
  const blocklocation1 = world.getDimension("overworld").getBlock({x: 100, y: 23, z: 142})

  if(block.typeId == "minecraft:chest" && blocklocation1){
    world.structureManager.place(`mystructure:starterkit`, player.dimension, { ...player.location, y: player.location.y + 1})
    player.playSound(`note.pling`, { pitch: 2 })
    return player.sendMessage(`§aSuccessfully loaded kit!`)
  }

why does this work on chests that are not even in the block location?

[runic crypt]

@last latch can you see https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1267178791910772808 pls ?

[last latch]

because you check if the blockLocation1 is even a thing

[glacial widget]

[last latch]

you need to compare its location with the saved one

[last latch]

sure just give me a moment

[runic crypt]

thank you so much 😭

[glacial widget]

it worked with my other script, so am confused?

[glacial widget]

you know that && = and

[last latch]

because this if (blocklocation1) equals this if (blocklocation1 !== undefined)

your if statement is like this : if (block.typeId == "minecraft:chest" && blocklocation1 !== undefined)

[glacial widget]

ohhh

so i would need to put the coords into a const

save*

[last latch]

yes and compare it with other coords

this blocklocation1 outputs either a class Block or undefined

[neat hound]

Look at your IF... you asked if the block location at those coords are valid and if the block interacted in the event is a chest.... both can be true and not related... you need to connect it.

[glacial widget]

for the coords i can use the same thing right ?

world.getDimension("overworld").getBlock({x: 100, y: 23, z: 136})

[glacial widget]

Oh alright ill try now

[neat hound]

check if the chest is at that location

Maybe a function that can compare vector3s, so you can reuse it elsewhere

you can start y our own vector query class (I know others made one they shared, but for learning, do your own and only reference theirs, if you cannot figure it out - that is how you get better)

[glacial widget]

Thank you for the help and taking your time to explain

[neat hound]

No problem.... your icon looks like my son.. and he has no interest in programming... LOL

[glacial widget]

that's funny lol, however i got the script to work at the block location so thanks

[tiny fable]

how do I detect fishing?

[amber granite]

No direct way to do that

U can use itemUse event

[glacial widget]

well the fishing rod is a entity

[glacial widget]

(not the item)

[tiny fable]

thats a simple behaviour, why isnt that a event 😭
I guess I may need to detect if the hook had despawned and did it catch a fish

[amber granite]

Hmm

Yeah maybe u can use entitySpawn event

[amber granite]

Oh u mean fishing

After getting the fish ?

[tiny fable]

yea

I'm trying to make a event like world.afterEvents.playerCaughtFish but that sadly isn't a thing

[amber granite]

mc.world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((event) => {
    const { itemStack, source } = event;
    if (itemStack.typeId === "minecraft:fishing_rod") {
        const entites = mc.world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities({
            location: source.location,
            maxDistance: 30,
        });
        for (const entity of entites) {
            if (entity.typeId === "minecraft:fishing_hook") {
                const fishing = system.runInterval(() => {

                });
            };
        };
    };
});
mc.world.afterEvents.entityRemove.subscribe((event) => {
    const { removedEntityId, typeId } = event;
    if (typeId === "minecraft:fishing_hook") {

    };
});

mc.world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe((event) => {
    const { entity, cause } = event;
    if(entity.typeId === "minecraft:item"){

    };
    if(entity.typeId === "minecraft:fishing_hook"){

    };
});

Try one of those

[tiny fable]

a nice structure, I'll try to merge it to my existing project.
Thanks :)

[amber granite]

UW

There are other methods too

But that some of them

[neat hound]

I would start with some logging action of spawns and removal of entities around me while I am holding the rod... so I can see what is activated and in what order and for how long.

Then I can manipulate it for my usage.

[amber granite]

No need , getEntities has options

Like entity type etc...

[neat hound]

Well it is more for the event and when triggered and if triggered... I've learned some anomalies that way. Things do not always work like you think they do or should.

but check what the entities are so that I can see when the hook comes and goes as well as the other items.

sometimes getting the whole picture gives more info instead of zeroing in on what you think you are looking for. More info for analysis... and I am good at analysis

.Hmmm.. I wonder if can make the hook always return an item when manual fishing... cause sometimes that small window of when to pull back is tight... you'd think for accessibility reasons they would have something

[amber granite]

U mean ?

[neat hound]

which?

[amber granite]

Is there an automated fishing?

[glacial widget]

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((e) => {
    const { player, block, itemStackBeforeBreak } = e;
  
    const ckey = world.scoreboard.getObjective("ckey");

    const chance = 100;
    const randomChance = Math.floor(Math.random() * chance);
    const blocks = ["minecraft:iron_ore", "minecraft:gold_ore", "minecraft:coal_ore"]

    if (block.typeId === blocks[0]) {

        if (randomChance < 10) {
            const crateKeys = 1; 
            ckey.addScore(player, crateKeys);
            world.sendMessage(`§d§lHCV KitPvP >> §a${player.name} has found a Common key while mining iron`);
        }
    }

this doesnt work for iron blocks, why?

[neat hound]

There is if you build it... I do it all the time

[amber granite]

Ah yes fishing farm

That uses trapdoor ?

[amber granite]

U should fix ur type.id

[glacial widget]

thats not the problem

it works fine when the iron block is on a clone command

[neat hound]

Test it without the chance to confirm

[glacial widget]

alr

[neat hound]

and iron block is not iron ore... so you actually mean the ore, right

and remember the deepslate versions

[glacial widget]

i meant ore my bad

yep tested

for some reason it only works if the iron ore is being cloned and i break it from there

[neat hound]

That does not sound right.. throw a debug line in near top that gives you the typeId of the block broken

oh wait... that is after events.... the block is not the block its the broken one

[amber granite]

Or just make it console.log the right type id of that block

[neat hound]

do a log on block, itemStackBeforeBreak to see for yourself

or change this to before events...

[prisma shard]

most of the people have

[glacial widget]

i did before events now it runs a error on iron ores i break now, which means it works

this is the error

[neat hound]

Remember.... when you see that... put the comand in a system run

[prisma shard]

do system.run

[neat hound]

okay... yes only before events can get that block. simpler.. else ha ve to use broken block permutation... https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server_1_14_0_beta.PlayerBreakBlockAfterEvent.html#brokenBlockPermutation

[prisma shard]

Does not have required privileges, actually happens because of the beforeEvent

[distant tulip]

or just use after event if you don't need to cancel the event

[glacial widget]

thank you mane, now works

[neat hound]

Both are options, just have to know what holds the information you want, because different for each

[distant tulip]

is beforeEvent the only thing activate read only mod?

[glacial widget]

ohh alright

[neat hound]

I am not understanding your question. ? read only mod ?

[prisma shard]

How can i get the adjacent blocks?

like, i want to get the connected/nearby blocks of a block

[prisma shard]

help

[neat hound]

the block as methods for that

[valid ice]

.offset()

[neat hound]

block.south()

[valid ice]

[neat hound]

ects

and offset if not at same level

[prisma shard]

....

[prisma shard]

........

[neat hound]

Look at the Block Class... (this is previe beta) https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server_1_14_0_beta.Block.html

[prisma shard]

i dont want to use the block methods so much time

I want to get each block at a time

[valid ice]

Well what else would you use

If you have one block then you can get another offset from it

[distant tulip]

in a volume?

[neat hound]

you know how fast this stuff goes right? or you mean your time in coding?

Wite a functin, then use it... then fast...

[prisma shard]

your- your- understanding wrong.....

[neat hound]

ok

[distant tulip]

there is the getBlocks function
get the block location and use that to get all the blocks around the area

[prisma shard]

like, i dont want to do block.above().above().above().above().above().above()

[distant tulip]

block.above(6) 🤷‍♂️

[prisma shard]

const adjacentBlock = { x + 1, x - 1, y + 1, y - 1, z - 1, z + 1}```

I know there is getBlovk

[neat hound]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server_1_14_0_beta.Dimension.html#getBlocks

[prisma shard]

but wouldn't that just get the - up, down, south, east, west, north, of ONE block,? I want to get the south,east,west,etc of each block

[valid ice]

You'd need a loop or something to run code for each block, in that case

[prisma shard]

how

[wary edge]

Learn basic JS first?

[prisma shard]

... uh

[neat hound]

LOL

[prisma shard]

i know loop

[neat hound]

I think you should look into the getBlocks... has iterator of vector3s and you can use that to pull the blocks into an array.

It would help to know.. what is the input and what do you want to end up with?

you said adjacent blocks.. but then said it sounded like you wanted the adjacent blocks of the adjacent blocks...

so... how far out... easy to build loops for that.

or try getBlocks.. may have what you need to get them all within....

[distant tulip]

this should work

const directions = ["east", "west", "north", "south", "above", "below"];

directions.forEach((direction) => {
    const block2 = block[direction]()
    //...
});

[prisma shard]

All of the adjacent blocks of a block, would mean adjacent blocks of the adjacent blocks

[wary edge]

@prisma shard at this point just open a post and describe exactly what you want

Youre just cinfusing everyone now

[fast lark]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(data => {
    let player = data.source
    let title = "§l§7-= ShadowCraft menu =-"

    function main() {
        const form = new MessageFormData()
            .title(title)
            .body(`il menu è attualmente in manutenziona.\nclicca annulla per chiudere il menu`)
            .button('annulla')


            .show(player).then(({ canceled, selection }) => {
                if (canceled) return

                if (selection == 0) {
                    player.playSound("random.break")
                    return
                }

why the message form data is not defined

it's the first time that i use message from data

[cinder shadow]

did you import it?

[fast lark]

no?

The game is gaslighting you, fr

[neat hound]

and while you are making that post, add a picture of graph paper making block and all the blocks you ultimately want to get back...

[distant tulip]

that sound like you trying to get all the blocks in the world lol

[neat hound]

not sure if you saw his request and the ensuing confusion... no idea where it was expected to stop

[distant tulip]

yeah
he said adjacent blocks of adjacent blocks
basically the whole world

[neat hound]

I am thinking he means all 8 blocks... but it is the communication of it that is off...

[distant tulip]

maybe he is looking for something like A* search algorithm

[neat hound]

well 8 cubed

[wary edge]

So 64 blocks?

[neat hound]

I forgot above and below

wait, that does not sound right

[wary edge]

Wait that aint even 64 i cant math

[neat hound]

how many blocks a round 3d

9*3 - 1

right

[distant tulip]

i don't think cubic area is what he is looking for
adjacent blocks will make a diamond shape

[neat hound]

I think he wanted the blocks in between and not just touching

good job on finding or doing the graphics

[wary edge]

And this is why we should explain clearly what we want instead of being vague

[neat hound]

Yeah we know that.. garbage in - garbage out...

but eveyrone is not used to requirements

[distant tulip]

make a replace for the piston before event
GO GO GO...

[neat hound]

THAT IS HARD

you just want a piston

[distant tulip]

yeah

[valid ice]

Does it make more sense for a guard to view the player by the player's head, or from their feet?
e.g. a player is hidden if their head is behind a block (out of guard's view) but their feet are visible, or
a player is hidden if their feet are behind a block (out of guard's view) but their head is visible

[neat hound]

Really

[valid ice]

Before event piston activate, my beloved ❤️

[neat hound]

feet is your location... so maybe it is tied to that

[distant tulip]

nikki is working on it right now

[neat hound]

No I am not... involves detectiing redstone

[distant tulip]

it is alright
you can do it

[valid ice]

raycast from guard would always be from the head- just if the end of the raycast should be the player's feet, or the player's head.

[neat hound]

Head

we are only 2 blocks tall... now I feel short

[valid ice]

2 meters tall ain't bad

[distant tulip]

video game don't make sense
if you are trying to make it logical you need to make the guard aware of all the player
even his shadow

[valid ice]

That's like, 6'6", 6'7"

[amber granite]

Two blocks height = 2 meters

[valid ice]

My guy, I am doing quick & easy here, not a full-blown stealth system 😛

[amber granite]

What about , the life's game

[distant tulip]

make hem aware of the attachable wile you are at it

lol

[valid ice]

Full system is:

1. Each player scans around them for guards
2. Raycast is sent to each guard within range to determine blocks between two locations
3. Angle between raycast line & guard view is found
4. A "percent guarded" is returned based on the above factors

[distant tulip]

you should send 2 raycast or 4 one from the head and the other from the feet

[valid ice]

That would be a decent amount of extra computing

[distant tulip]

is it that bad?

from the player point of view the head is the best option

[valid ice]

Rather keep it as simple as possible really

[distant tulip]

yeah

[neat hound]

But you only want a number if either face or feet is exposed to guards view

[cinder shadow]

I think checking from the head would be best from a players perspective. They can only see you if you are also able to see them. In general, the players head and legs will be aligned anyways though, right?

Whether or not you could potentially just do the raycast, store the players' volume somewhere, and check if that raycast intersects with the players volume

[amber granite]

Hmm what if the player is crawling

[cinder shadow]

Well that's a special case and might not even be applicable here

[amber granite]

Hmm what if player is jumping

Or sleeping

[valid ice]

Other states that the player could be in are not applicable here

[amber granite]

Ok

[valid ice]

The map is static and will not have those conditions

Crouching, it will, only because that is a conscious choice the player makes

Same with jumping

[valid ice]

Would be cool

[cinder shadow]

idk whether there would be any performance impacts though

you could probably just use a 2D plane tbh

[neat hound]

And you can't piggyback of off the entities target system and check who he is targeting?

[valid ice]

The entity is not targeting the player, it's just a view thing

[neat hound]

Did you already discuss see thru blocks... I suppose those are in your exclude list

[valid ice]

They are, yes

[valid ice]

Hence this question I had earlier

[neat hound]

Head... because if there is an action because of it, player won't understand.. "but he can see your feet.. and you cannot see him"

A world isn't allotted RAM. The server/application is allotted RAM. How much RAM can vary depending on your environment. However, RAM isn't the real concern here if that is why you are asking. Its performance is heavily influenced by the CPU, particularly its single-threaded performance, which affects the game's responsiveness and overall smoothness. RAM is important to consider if you have a large base of players and plenty of activity currently ongoing, but the CPU will play the more crucial role here.

[neat hound]

It is beta, check the version in your manifest, and if it is preview-beta, make sure you use Preview. so either it is 1.12.0-beta, 1.13.0 or 1.14.0-beta

[deep garden]

Oh gotcha, yeah I had my manifest set to 0.1.0 that makes, thank you Nikki ❤️

1.13.0 is stable right or should it be 1.11.0

[neat hound]

1.13.0 is considered the release candidate RC, so it is the stable of Preview

[deep garden]

Okay, good deal 😊

[neat hound]

1.11.0 is stabel for reg MC

Even tho the RC can change... chatSend is in 1.120-beta, but taken out of 1.13.0 and moved back to 1.14.0-beta

cause SOMEONE had to discover an exploit bug... LOL...

[thorn flicker]

exploit bug?

[neat hound]

yeah, something about if you changed the message while something it crashed game...

so it's readonly now, as I think it should be anyway, we should not be able to alter any user's message ever, cancel yes, alter no.

[remote oyster]

👀

[neat hound]

Note to self: watch him... too interested.... in exploits that can crash....

LOL

[thorn flicker]

well you can just cancel and then make the player send the message with the sendMessage method and insert the sent message text with template literals

so it becoming read only isnt a big deal

[neat hound]

you can make it look like something

Oh I remember, someone was Assasin I think encrypting message to undo on receiver...

so it did not crash, it got an account suspension that should not have happen

yeah that is it... so that is bad,

[remote oyster]

#879773489601585244 message

[neat hound]

So how do you use player.sendMessage to make it look like the player sent a message?

oh, him... hi Vis

[thorn flicker]

just explained how

[neat hound]

I am not sure about that...

[thorn flicker]

im sure about it.

[neat hound]

I need to see it I guess

[thorn flicker]

because I did it.

many times

[neat hound]

I see..

[thorn flicker]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(data => {
    const msg = data.message
    const player = data.sender
    data.cancel = true;
    player.sendMessage(`message: ${msg}`)
})

[neat hound]

but that sends a message to the player not from him

[open urchin]

world.sendMessage(`<${name}> ${message}`)

[last latch]

Bro i asked how much addon-data can a world handle. BDS has its limits for example.

[distant tulip]

that a private message

[thorn flicker]

oh.

Apologies

[thorn flicker]

yeah I think this is what I did, not player.sendMessage. I used it to change the color of people's messages before.

[remote oyster]

RAM is dependent on the environment. REALMS is technically unknown I believe. Not sure Mojang has that information public. BDS can be configured accordingly. You could use basic software to monitor RAM with regards to a local world, but that will be dependent on the device. So unfortunately, there is no definitive answer for you.

[last latch]

Huh, I guess that number is small. We will never know.

[neat hound]

Isn't the look or font slight different so that you can tell if it was the player or code?

[thorn flicker]

doesnt that really matter

lol

"theres 2 more pixels on this character, this is unpolished!"

[neat hound]

yeah it does, if a malicious add on makes it have one person say something "bad" to another

something reportable

[remote oyster]

Large window but probably somewhere between 2 to 10 gigs of ram. So not much.

[thorn flicker]

it'll ########## censor it

[neat hound]

you can take a pic of it... but if there is that difference, then they would know

not bad that way... unkind remarks

hate speech

bunch of stuff

[last latch]

A guy hosts a world, and this worlds tends to be known for crashing because of ram usage. I don't think he could use data to fulfill 2-10gbs of ram.

[last latch]

Like it crashes every 1-2 hours...

[thorn flicker]

I see.

[remote oyster]

Is it crashing by saying something on the lines of memory limitations on the screen?

I'm asking because script-api is allotted memory. Exceeding it will crash it.

I can't remember how much memory.... I forgot haha.

[neat hound]

To test the look, have it duplicate your message and see it against a real message.

I noticed the diff a while back because I had monsters saying shit.... so ... maybe it is diff now, don't know

[last latch]

I think yea, definitely something with memory/ram. Probably he doesn't clear multiple maps with players or something.

[remote oyster]

Yea, I want to say we are allotted 256 MB. I might be able to track down where it's actually mentioned, but I know it's not much so you have to handle your memory correctly. If it's steadily growing then one of two things is happening. Mismanagement of memory, or a memory leak (which is still partially mismanagement lol).

[amber granite]

It depends on ur devices ram

[last latch]

I dont think so.

[remote oyster]

Looks like watchdog has a default setting of 250 MB. With a memory warning starting at 100 MB. This is on BDS. I would think it's best to assume these settings are the same on Realms as well. On BDS you can configure these by either increasing these values or disabling them entirely.

[amber granite]

I mean each add-on has its ram consumption

So u can't say how exactly u need

[last latch]

Disabling? You can disable them entirely?

[remote oyster]

For BDS. Its configurable in server.properties.

But I wouldn't recommend that. If you have a memory leak, or a mismanagement of memory handling then it would be highly advised to fix that problem versus ignoring it. Steadily growing memory will eventually cause issues. You do not need watchdog enabled to experience those.

If the memory is stable, but just so happens to use a decent amount, then instead of ignoring it entirely, I would just increase what is allotted in server.properties.

What's the beforeEvent listener that checks if a player is hurt by another player?

There isn't a beforeEvent. Just an afterEvent at the moment.

That doesn't exist in the event.

Alright, how can I negate damage done to a player?

[random flint]

1. damage_sensor through player.json
2. Potion effects

[empty quail]

Specifically testing if a player hit a player

Oh right

Yeah that works

First option best fr

3. add the damage that was dealt to the player back as health (it won't stop one hits though)

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Native setter cannot be assigned null or undefined. Interface property ['z'] expected type: number (failed parsing interface to Function argument [1]) at <anonymous> (mob_spawner.js:19)

[woven loom]

send code, erors isnt enough

think z is null, do check fornit

[woven loom]

send it as message its not even 1 kb

[wary edge]

No need to

[wary edge]

Try removing the () that's wrapping the vector interface

[grave thistle]

Still hasn't fixed it...

[wary edge]

You could just use tblock.location as well

Since that returns a Vector3, no need to construct a new one

[grave thistle]

I was hoping to use const {bx, by, bz} = tBlock.location; so I can offset the coordinates

[random flint]

That's just:
const {x: bx, y: by, z: bz} = tBlock.location;

[grave thistle]

Oh, so the variable is const {x: bx, y:by, z:bz} = tBlock.location; and not const {bx, by, bz} = tBlock.location;

[random flint]

ye

[random flint]

bx, by, bz would be undefined if you do that

[grave thistle]

And when I use spawnItem i still have to include the x:, y:, z:?

[random flint]

yea?

u could also do this:
const loc1 = tBlock.center();
overworld.spawnItem(itemStack,loc1);

@grave thistle

[grave thistle]

Going to see if altering the variable like you said since i need to offset the item spawn point

@random flint got it working, ty. Wish I didn't take a break from coding for so long

Why isn't {x: bx + 0.5, y: by + 0.5, z: bz + 0.5} offsetting the spawn location?

[wary edge]

It should, but since it's a half block difference it might not look like it. Try offsetting 5 blocks

[grave thistle]

Tried 5 and it still won't offset

[wary edge]

Are you putting this in the spawnItem method?

[grave thistle]

Yeah, here it is: tBlock.dimension.spawnItem(mSpawner, { x: bx + 5, y: by + 5, z: bz + 5 });

[wary edge]

Thats weird

[grave thistle]

Weird, I removed and re-added the behaviour pack and it now works

[wary edge]

Well that makes sense now

Are you using the dev folder by any chance?

[drifting raven]

Using the `development_*_packs` folders

The correct way to create addons is by using the development_behavior_packs and development_resource_packs folders. Storing your addons here will allow you to reload the world to see addon changes, and will prevent pack caching issues.

You can work directly in the world, or in behavior_packs/resource_packs, but you need an understanding of manifest-versions and caching to avoid issues.

We highly recommend using the development_*_packs folders.

Jul 30, 2024, 12:02 AM

[grave thistle]

No, I'm on mobile. Using the normal behaviour folder

[wary edge]

Yeah makes sense. You're facing caching issues

[grave thistle]

Lol so janky. Don't know why overwritting the file didn't update it. At least completely removing and re-adding it has fixed it

[wary edge]

If you could, try use the dev folders. If not, prepare to keep reapplying your pack

[grave thistle]

I'm using bridge. and I'm not sure it can upload directly to the dev folder

[random flint]

You're offsetting it by 5?

oh nvm

yey development folder

[fickle pulsar]

guys my scripts keeps getting put into message.txt and jayly script debugger dont work

how to fix

[random flint]

Use the .js / .ts file extension on ur file before using the debugger.

[fickle pulsar]

ok

doesnt work

[random flint]

bot down maybe?

[fickle pulsar]

ok

[limber gate]

Is there a way to perform raycast that goes through passable blocks but not through water? When using includeLiquidBlocks: true, includePassableBlocks: false it doesn't hit water, as it seems includePassableBlocks already includes water and it takes priority, which is a weird design choice imo

[woven loom]

make a custom raycast then. do we even have a way to test flowing water

[limber gate]

Is there a way to test which block types are considered as "passable"?

[woven loom]

my guess is that any block which let entity pass considered as passable

[wary edge]

Passable are things like scaffolding iirc. Ladders vines

[limber gate]

Is there a way to detect which block is passable based on its type? Wanting to re-implement includePassableBlocks functionality in a way that can include water in the raycast

[wary edge]

Setup a gamtest script ig?

Then grab the results and those that are passable put into an array?

[limber gate]

ig that works but it's unfortunate that we even have to resort to such extreme workarounds

for a very simple behaviour

[wary edge]

I do wonder....do flowers and vines count as .isAir or are they .isSolid

[distant tulip]

isSolid is for full blocks

or not?

[wary edge]

Idk thats why I asked

[rugged tinsel]

pretty sure isAir is only for air

not sure what isSolid is though

it's not even stable yet afaik

[limber gate]

it's not, no

[distant tulip]

pretty sure i used isSolid before to detect full blocks

[rugged tinsel]

but does isSolid mean able to transmit redstone or occupies the full block collision?

not really clear based on that name

[wary edge]

Hence why I asked

[rugged tinsel]

a glass block would probably be the easiest way to test that

[wary edge]

Ive, rarely used .isSolid to test such thinga i always use it to check full blocks bc i assume it would only be restricted to that

[distant tulip]

idk
but glass is not solid

[rugged tinsel]

it's not solid in regards to redstone and fences, but it is solid in regards to collision

[wary edge]

Im heading to work so i cant test that now 😔

[distant tulip]

full block != solid block
let me just test that

[wary edge]

Bummer

I was gonna suggest Veka to use isSolid as passable

[rugged tinsel]

is includeTypes stable?

I wonder if that overrides the passable check

[limber gate]

I think it overwrites everything

[rugged tinsel]

could u use that to check for water then?

[wary edge]

😔 this is the only optiom then...unless the wiki and the java decompiled code has a list

[limber gate]

So you'll have to list every single block except for passable types

[rugged tinsel]

ah, that sucks

[limber gate]

excludeTypes is a viable option tho, but you'd still have to list all passable blocks there

And that might be quite slow to execute depending on how many types you use

[rugged tinsel]

you could probably just ignore the likely options, won't be great for compat though

just give us a collision block component

though that would still suck

fixing that weird passable behavior would be best

[limber gate]

raycasting second time just for water is also an option, but idk how slow that would be

[rugged tinsel]

wouldn't it just immediately hit the next water block after the final destination?

instead of whatever the "first" one would've been

[limber gate]

No I mean do 2 raycasts in the same pos and dir, one with passable blocks excluded and another one only against water and use the closest hit

[rugged tinsel]

ah, I don't think it would be that bad, depending on how often that's ran

[limber gate]

That'd double the number of raycasts tho and when raycasting just against water, rays would have to check a lot of blocks

[rugged tinsel]

would it be worse to have a huge filter or double raycast though?

[limber gate]

that's the question

Filter would have a fixed performance hit while doing 2 raycasts will depend on the scene, if there isn't a lot of water nearby, then water rays will have to do more work

[amber granite]

Yes ,

[sharp elbow]

The second argument passed to getBlockFromRay is the direction it should go. You should not be passing world coordinates into this

I'm assuming you want the topmost block, by casting downward. T should be:
const t = {x: 0, y: -1, z: 0};

Why does this not work

anymore

it used to

what did they replace it with

export function addEnchantments(item, enchants) {
const itemEnchantComponent = item.getComponent("enchantable");
if (itemEnchantComponent) {
itemEnchantComponent.addEnchantments(enchants);
}

[tiny fable]

Hello guys! Another problem:
I'm trying to use this chest ui
A very strange part is, changing the constant number_of_1_16_100 to +11(The amount of custom item we have) makes:
every block shift incorrectly, and item shift correctly
Did anyone encounter this before and is there a thing I can do?

[nimble schooner]

Everything you need to know

[amber granite]

I have some foggy variables

[nimble schooner]

Because everything else works

[sharp elbow]

So the "item" parameter is ItemStack, and "enchants" is an Enchantment array?

[nimble schooner]

Just not the enchantment adding

[tiny fable]

any, like, context on the enchants variable? like its type?

[amber granite]

Component must have
minecraft:

[tiny fable]

Any clues would be greatly appreciated :)

[steep hamlet]

is it possible to add components to an entity without modifying its behavior file?

[valid ice]

Block IDs do not get shifted with the addition of custom contentt

[tiny fable]

weirdly, when setting number_of_... to 0 every item doesn't show its correct texture so I tried to modify it

[valid ice]

Only custom items with 1.16.100 format version & higher shift stuff- as they are inserted into the IDs at 256, shifting all IDs that exist above 256.

[chrome flint]

does pushing player in an array and checking if the player is inside the array will cause some problems?

it works for me but im afraid there would be problems in testing for the player

[amber granite]

So u pushing player

Nah will not cause

[chrome flint]

yeah

okay, thanks

[amber granite]

Uw

[chrome flint]

even though i changed the player properties, right?

[amber granite]

It will changes player's propreties too

[valid ice]

You could push a property of the player- like their name, id or something instead of the entire player class

[amber granite]

Better idea ^

[chrome flint]

yeah, that's how i really do it, im just curious if its just the same

[cinder shadow]

I don't see why it would cause any problems

[fiery solar]

That's actually slower, although not by much. Adding an object to an array doesn't create a new copy of it, it's just a reference to the player instance.

[distant tulip]

the amount of people sending dms to offer me help 🤦‍♂️

                player.sendMessage("you have sold your items")
            }
        }
    }
})

why does this not work, i dont get any errors at all or a console warn

its a interact with block i cant add source

[amber granite]

It wirk

It works

[glacial widget]

huh

[amber granite]

It should work , because its array refrence

To all the players

Oh yeah i see

U are using it wrongly

Use

player.forEach(player=>{
//Your code})

[glacial widget]

Ohhh

i forgot

thanks bruh

[amber granite]

Idk what he is trying to do :T

[glacial widget]

interact with the block

at a spot

could i use entityHit for this aswell?

alr so like this?

world.afterEvents.entityHitBlock.subscribe((ev) =>{
    const {hitBlock, hitBlockPermutation,} = ev
    const tokens = ["minecraft:nether_wart", "minecraft:nether_star"]
    const ores = []

    const money = world.scoreboard.getObjective("Money")
    let player = world.getAllPlayers()

    if(hitBlock.typeId == "minecraft:lime_stained_glass" && hitBlock.x == -17 && hitBlock.y == 176 && hitBlock.z == 32){
        switch(tokens || ores){
            case tokens[0]:{
                console.warn("works")
                player.runCommand("/clear @s nether_wart")
                money.addScore(player, 100)
                player.sendMessage("you have sold your items")
            }
        }

    }
})

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

world.afterEvents.entityHitBlock.subscribe((ev) =>{
    const {hitBlock, hitBlockPermutation} = ev
    const player = ev.damagingEntity
    const tokens = ["minecraft:nether_wart", "minecraft:nether_star"]
    const ores = ["minecraft:coal", "", ""]

    const money = world.scoreboard.getObjective("Money")

    if(hitBlock.typeId == "minecraft:lime_stained_glass" && hitBlock.x == -17 && hitBlock.y == 176 && hitBlock.z == 32){
        console.warn("works")
        switch(tokens || ores){
            case tokens[0]:{
                player.runCommand("/clear @s nether_wart")
                money.addScore(player, 100)
                player.sendMessage("you have sold your items")
            }
        }

    }
})

does not work?

[grand heart]

it worked! thank you good sir!

[amber granite]

Looks good idea

[amber granite]

@glacial widget u want trade system between players ?

[sharp elbow]

switch(tokens || ores) is creating a boolean statement, to be compared to the tokens—true === "minecraft:nether_wart" will not succeed

[glacial widget]

that would be cool

[glacial widget]

ohh but || = or

so i thought i would count to both arrays

[amber granite]

I can make a one

[sharp elbow]

Yes, for testing conditions. It works in if() by creating a boolean statement

[amber granite]

Using dataForm

[glacial widget]

yeah thats what am using rn

thank you though

[sharp elbow]

What should it be doing? Are you wanting to iterate over some array (or two) to see if any entries match? Or if one array includes entries from another?

[glacial widget]

to see if any entires match

[valid ice]

array.some(element => element === value)

.some() returns a true if ANY callback returns true
.every() returns true if ALL callbacks return true

[sharp elbow]

.find() is useful if you need the value of that element.

[valid ice]

That too!

Array methods are pretty epic poggers

[sharp elbow]

I am constantly finding new ones every time I look

[valid ice]

[remote oyster]

Not sure I understand you or if you misunderstood the quote.

It speaks about the power of JavaScript and how versatile it can be but highlighting the pitfalls that comes with it. In JavaScript, you can achieve a lot with little code, but it's flexibility can lead to complex, difficult-to-maintain code if not managed properly.

[amber granite]

There is typescript

[glacial widget]

when a player clicks on a block it checks if they have any tokens then runs the code i got below

[amber granite]

So it s trading system

[glacial widget]

a sell block

[amber granite]

Then specify ur block

That nice

[glacial widget]

i did

it works but for some reason the if statement does not

[amber granite]

But i thought about trading system between players, u know some players sell the goods , and wait until one of the other players buy them and get the money after that

[glacial widget]

even when i hold out the item

[glacial widget]

like a auction house?

[amber granite]

Etc....

[modest turtle]

hello everyone, who can tell you how to make any text on top in the center of the screen? (Maybe someone knows a publication that will help you find a solution?)

player.onScreenDisplay.

then from there you can learn

[modest turtle]

Thanks

[glacial widget]

np sir

[amber granite]

Bot exactly, just u put ur items that u wanna sell , and wait until someone buy them , and get ur money after that

And so on

[glacial widget]

thats acutally cool!

[amber granite]

Without creating non-existent resources

[grand heart]

no it should be tokens.every(item => itemStack.typeId == item) and it should not be every

it should be some

[glacial widget]

O

thank you sir

[remote oyster]

Add code to have it print off the block type to verify it's comparing the same string. Then print off the location of that block to verify it matches with the hard coded coordinates you expect it to be. If any of those conditions are not a match then your if statement will not execute the code inside the clause. Also, may I suggest using === versus ==?

=== is strict type checking. If you are trying to compare a string then it will strictly check for a string. The other isn't strict. It will try against a string, number, etc to get a match.

Hopefully this explanation is simple to understand. I didn't want to get too heavy in it lol.

[glacial widget]

so replace the every.() with some.()

[amber granite]

some()

[glacial widget]

tokens.some(item => itemStack.typeId == item)

[grand heart]

but it will always clear nether wart even if it checks in nether star, your code has yet so much flaws

[amber granite]

Yep

[glacial widget]

oh could you point them out? my bad

[grand heart]

is the money you will give always 100 regardless of the type of item? if so

player.runCommand(`clear @s "${itemStack.typeId}"`);

[glacial widget]

that that makes sense

however am still getting a error for this

itemStack.typeId === tokens.some(item => itemStack.typeId == item)

[grand heart]

no, remove the one before the first e qual signs and also the first equal signs

if (tokens.some(item => itemStack.typeId == item))

[amber granite]

☠️ bro is cooked

[glacial widget]

btw what code is inside item?

[grand heart]

the code you have inside if block

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

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ev) =>{
    const {block, player, itemStack} = ev
    const tokens = ["minecraft:nether_wart", "minecraft:nether_star"]
    const ores = ["minecraft:coal", "", ""]

    const money = world.scoreboard.getObjective("Money")

    if(block.typeId == "minecraft:lime_stained_glass" && block.x == -17 && block.y == 176 && block.z == 32){
        console.warn("works")
        if(tokens.some(item => item == itemStack.typeId)){
            console.warn("works")
            player.runCommand(`clear @s "${itemStack.typeId}"`)
            money.addScore(player, 100)
        }
    }
})

[glacial widget]

alr just checking cuz am getting a error

[grand heart]

oh what you get?

[amber granite]

Lemme fix it

Ok !

[grand heart]

i assume it will throw if you don't have item in your hand?

if so you can just put if (!itemStack) return;

[amber granite]

Yeah

So u must take it from the inventory i guess

@glacial widget

[grand heart]

or put itemStack or !!itemStack inside your first if statement

if (!!itemStack && block.typeId == ...

[glacial widget]

if(tokens.some(item => item == itemStack.typeId))

[grand heart]

hmm yes that's where the error goes but not necessarily, itemStack's value can be none(undefined) so you must first check if it has value or nah

[subtle cove]

const tokens = {
    "minecraft:nether_wart": 100,
    "minecraft:nether_star": 200
}
``````js
if (itemStack?.typeId in tokens) {
    const hand = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipmentSlot("Mainhand") 
    if (itemStack.amount === 1) hand.setItem()
    else hand.amount--
    player.addScore(player, tokens[itemStack.typeId])
} ```

[grand heart]

pro move

[remote oyster]

Or, just skip it:

const { block, player, itemStack } = ev;

if (!itemStack) {
    return; // Skip if itemStack is undefined
}

[grand heart]

also * itemStack.amount

[subtle cove]

There

Hmm, not sure if ev.itemStack = itemStack would work tho

[amber granite]

Wth

What is
If ( something in something)

[grand heart]

also will the itemStack.amount--work? i tried it on nameTag and it doesn't

[subtle cove]

Is it rare to see code with ContainerSlot?

I nevermind see that before
