Script API General

[turbid oriole]

The 2023 boom is curious, plus Ore UI is growing since it is more general purpose.

It seems like too many people use this library at the same time.:

[keen nymph]

is onStepOn / onStepOff only in preview currently?

[wary edge]

Nope, stable beta-apis

I'd wait 1-2 more weeks if it isn't urgent as it will be stable stable in 1.21.20

[keen nymph]

oh. i added it to a custom block and it just like doesnt work no error no nothing 💀

[umbral dune]

setDynamicProperty still not working for me

what's happening?

the game simply forgets about the property after the second interaction

[fallow minnow]

the first time u set the property youre not inputting a value

[neat hound]

what is the item stack referring to? the block or the item in your hand... I think you are not setting it on the item in your hand

[fallow minnow]

only the key

[umbral dune]

to the item

[fallow minnow]

this js e.itemStack.setDynamicProperty("source"); is whats wrong

the 2nd set

[umbral dune]

it's not that.

[neat hound]

dm me the whole thing or open a post with the whole file. and display the typeId of that itemstack

[umbral dune]

You can be sure, what I'm reading is "ready"

[fallow minnow]

well i suppose its not

forgot that resets it

[thorn flicker]

oh yeah, you dont need to do undefined, you can just leave it blank

[umbral dune]

the code is "small"

import { system, world, ItemStack, Block } from "@minecraft/server";

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(e => {
  if(e.itemStack?.typeId === "ewds:resource_counter") {
    e.cancel = true;
    const ready = e.itemStack.getDynamicProperty("isready");
    world.sendMessage(`before setting to "true": ${e.itemStack.getDynamicProperty("isready")}`);
    
    if(ready) {
      e.itemStack.setDynamicProperty("isready", false);
      
      const target = e.block.location;
      const source = e.itemStack.getDynamicProperty("source");
      
      e.itemStack.setDynamicProperty("source");
      
      const minX = Math.min(target.x, source.x), minY = Math.min(target.y, source.y), minZ = Math.min(target.z, source.z);
      const maxX = Math.max(target.x, source.x), maxY = Math.max(target.y, source.y), maxZ = Math.max(target.z, source.z);
      
      const storage = new Map();
      for(let i = minX; i <= maxX; i++) {
        for(let j = minY; j <= maxY; j++) {
          for(let k = minZ; k <= maxZ; k++) {
            const block = e.block.dimension.getBlock({ x: i, y: j, z: k });
            if(block && !block.isAir) {
              storage.set(block.typeId, (storage.get(block.typeId) ?? 0) + 1);
            }
          }
        }
      }
      
      const list = [];
      for(const [block, quantity] of storage) {
        list.push(`${block} (${quantity}x)`);
      }
      
      system.run(() => e.player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(list.join(" §7-§r ")));
    } else {
      e.itemStack.setDynamicProperty("isready", true);
      world.sendMessage(`after setting to "true": ${e.itemStack.getDynamicProperty("isready")}`);
      
      const target = e.block.location;
      e.itemStack.setDynamicProperty("source", target);
      
      system.run(() => e.player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`§7source position set to §s${target.x} ${target.y} ${target.z}§r`));
    }
  }
});

[fallow minnow]

what exactly is the issue?

[neat hound]

I t may return the itemStack of what is in your hand, not not what is in your hand... I think you need to do it on the slot.

it you can....

[wary edge]

You need to set the item back into the hand

[neat hound]

try puttingit on yourself

[umbral dune]

I could say this is bad 👁️

[valid ice]

ItemStack is but an abstract reference to an item, it does not have to actually exist in the world.

ContainerSlot exists, and is a tangible thing the player can interact with in the world.

When you getItem, it's like you're pulling a copy of the item out of the inventory and into the code

[neat hound]

and.... what is this ```js
const source = e.itemStack.getDynamicProperty("source");

  e.itemStack.setDynamicProperty("source");```

[umbral dune]

value = null

I'm deleting the property

[neat hound]

Did what Hero said make sense to you Elias?

[umbral dune]

Yes :D

[neat hound]

Guys.. how do you get what is in the hand... is it this... js const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory"); const selectedItem = inventory.container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);copied from the API example

[granite badger]

that works

[neat hound]

new territory for me... but you are probably on your way to your solution now

[valid ice]

can also ```js
const equipment = player.getComponent("equippable");
const selectedItem = equipment.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);

[neat hound]

and then he can put his dynamic property on it?

[fallow minnow]

yes

player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand)``` returns an itemstack

[valid ice]

don't forget to set it back!

[fallow minnow]

like this

[remote oyster]

LOL

[fallow minnow]

not directed at anyone btw

just joking around

[granite badger]

then add like player.getComponent("equippable").setEquipment(mainhand)

[chrome flint]

i just realized
AND gates are just multiplication operators and OR gates are just addition operators

1x1 = 1 , true and true returns true
1x0 = 0, true and false returns false

1+1 = 2 (positive), true or true, return true
1+0 = 1 (positive), true or false, return true
0+0 = 0, false or false, return false

🤓

[shy leaf]

i shouldve specified that it only works when the event fires and the player sprints at the same time
but not when the event fires during the sprint

[umbral dune]

now it's working, thanks

How do I get the name string of a block?

[chrome flint]

you can't

you can only get the typeID at least, but not the itemStack properties before it was placed

[serene radish]

how do i detect if a command wasn't successful in scripting?

successcount seems to do nothing with what im trying to do

[chrome flint]

.then()

[shy leaf]

how do i pass the damage value from entityHurt to entityHitEntity using async
i kinda never tried using async so i wanted to know if async works for those or not

[serene radish]

i've tried all that. i figured out a workaround with what im doing but im still curious

[glass gull]

random question but does player.sendMessage just send to the player or to everyone

[shy leaf]

it sends message to specified entity

so in that case it would be player only

[glass gull]

ok thanks

so does that mean world.sendMessage sends to everyone

[chrome flint]

yes

[shy leaf]

ye every entity

[glass gull]

ok ok

that means my pet dog can read it

[chrome flint]

yeah i thought so xd

[shy leaf]

technically lol

idk if Entity has sendMessage though

[serene radish]

nvm my command just wasnt running no matter what, given that the successcount was always 0

[glass gull]

thanks

[solar dagger]

Is dynamic properties better than Map?

[granite badger]

It depends if you want to store data to world permanently or temperatorily

[wary edge]

Thats not a good comparison. Dynamic properties is for storing data to the world persistently.

Comparing maps to objects or arrays is a better conversatiob

[chrome flint]

are maps better than objects

[solar dagger]

Well what would be better if you're trying to check stuff. Also to help reset things once the player leaves the world

[wary edge]

What exactly are you trying to achieve

[shy leaf]

apparently it doesnt work

[valid ice]

what are you doing?

[solar dagger]

I'm just trying to learn, there's not achievement yet

[shy leaf]

me? well uh

[wary edge]

Ok, what are you trying to learn

[shy leaf]

trying to bypass iframes

[valid ice]

oh

set HP directly

or use override in applyDamage

[shy leaf]

override, nah

[solar dagger]

The difference between the map and dynamic properties, or if there're better alternatives to both

[wary edge]

Do you know what they are in the first place?

[shy leaf]

im trying to get the damage from entityHurt but would health changed event work here?

[wary edge]

Again, what are you trying to do

[solar dagger]

Somewhat

[wary edge]

What are you trying to store?

[valid ice]

Both are very different things and should be used in appropriate places

[valid ice]

maybe?

[solar dagger]

Could you give me some examples

[shy leaf]

im really not sure cuz entityHitEntity fires before entityHurt so entityHitEntity can only get the damage that was done before the event

[solar dagger]

What's best for dynamic properties/map

[shy leaf]

and idk if health changed event is any different

[valid ice]

To put it bluntly, maps are reset when world closes, dynamic properties are not.

[solar dagger]

Ahh

[valid ice]

They are not the same, however. A map can be a dynamic property if converted & set, a map is a native javscript object and unrelated to script API, a dynamic property exists solely within the minecraft environment, and a lot more.

You would be better off comparing an object to a map.. although I am sure that many threads for that subject exist online, and you can research that on your own time.

[wary edge]

As previously stated

[solar dagger]

Okay so let's say I want to store items from an entity would I use a dynamic property or map?

[wary edge]

Do you need the data saved

[valid ice]

You can use whatever you fancy. Array, object, map, global variables- heck, if you want use a string.

[solar dagger]

Yes

[wary edge]

Then you would need to hse dynamic properties since maps cannot do that

[solar dagger]

Ok ok 👌 thanks

[random flint]

You can't put ItemStack in DynamicProperty

[solar dagger]

Seriously...

[chrome flint]

but you can put dynamic property in itemStack

[valid ice]

string, boolean, number, or vec3 types only

[random flint]

Make a custom entity with the sole purpose of being a itemStack database 🤓

[valid ice]

Imagine if itemstacks in dynamic property- recursive properties, yippee!

[spring dove]

Does someone else has the same problem? it appears like 2 minecrafts are open

[solar dagger]

Well I'm currently using map for the video above

[spring dove]

and consumes so much resources

[random flint]

At that point, why not make all stackable items have dynamicProperty

[valid ice]

I want them to

But I get why they didn't

[wary edge]

Then just stringify the map and store it

[solar dagger]

Would that store the quantity?

[random flint]

You can store the itemStack in dynamicProperty by first getting all its Components (Enchantment, Name, TypeId, Quantity, Durability, etc) and then converting them into JSON stringified objects.

But it has its own downside

[valid ice]

no data

[wary edge]

What data do yoi need?

[solar dagger]

Sounds like a few extra steps

[valid ice]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1205371327733694514
🤓

[wary edge]

Ahhh, aux val

Just wait for 1.22

[valid ice]

Why not just use entity inventory

Storage, persistent, per-entity, stores data easily

[random flint]

You gotta put a ticking area or teleport them somewhere where the player exists. (Chunk loaded)

/kill isn't an issue after the minimum health is set to 1

[neat hound]

You build your re-usable code to handle it for you... that is the great thing about programs...

[valid ice]

tick world entity component

[solar dagger]

What will keep things optimized? Map or dynamic properties

[valid ice]

Map will always be faster, as it's a native JS method, whereas dynamic props are a script API exclusive.

However, speed at that level should not really be a huge concern.

[solar dagger]

Well what if the player leaves the world and I need to transfer their items back.

[wary edge]

What bout it?

[solar dagger]

What's the best option between the two

[wary edge]

Like we said

Dynamic properties store data to the world. Maps dont

[valid ice]

Why not this

Would work for your needs, it looks like

[wary edge]

I highly suggest you take the time to learn and read the docs

[neat hound]

I believe they answered you. You said you want to keep the data between sessions. Within a dynamic property you can store only, number or string or boolean or vector3 interface. So within the string you can get creative by taking data and converting it to a JSON obect, then stringifying it, then you can store it as a string. You can retrieve it and revert it back to JSON and so stuff with it.

Look in resources for example code to understand more.

[solar dagger]

I may go with this method instead

Thank you for being helpful 🙂

[astral quarry]

If anybody wants to give feedback on the in Interact API share it here!
#1268601041063247955 message

[keen nymph]

so it appears that onStepOn/onStepOff only works if the block is at least 4 cubes tall in collision

[random flint]

A slab then?

[keen nymph]

slabs are 8

my thing was 2 initially

[random flint]

oh, then a trapdoor tall?

[acoustic basin]

guys, how do i use /scriptevent command and what do i need to make in script file itself for it to work?

[wary edge]

Yes, just like the old step on component from hcf as well

[random flint]

system afterEvent scriptEventReceive

or smt like that

[acoustic basin]

okey, i'll look into it

[keen nymph]

oh i didnt know that

[hushed ravine]

Any way to make the compass point to a player without using the world spawn point?

[true isle]

What's a good code editor for android?

[hushed ravine]

I was thinking of showing some text in the subtitle that looks like a compass, but I don't know how to do that

[umbral dune]

Is it possible to give the player a book and quill with specific text inside via scripting?

[chrome flint]

can we force enchant an armor? let's say i want to enchant an armor with protection and fire protection at the same time

i know its not possible with script api, but is there a way to do this?

[true isle]

I think you can in creative and save it in a structure to spawn but I haven't tested anything like that

[fiery solar]

You would have to use an NBT editor and save the item in a structure, but it does work.

I'm not sure if both effects are actually applied though.

[nimble radish]

wow @amber granite

[chrome flint]

thanks, would it be changed if I converted it into itemStack in scriptAPI?

[nimble radish]

If anyone know how to make a durability system that shows the armo durability of the armor that you have on can you let me know 🙂

[amber granite]

Hmm ?

[amber granite]

No other way man lol ,

Unless u don't know how to use it

[cold grove]

Pay someome

[distant gulch]

Get inventory equipment then get the rusbility and damage and use json ui to display it

[amber granite]

I told him

[distant tulip]

infested blocks itemStack type id

[nimble radish]

i will

[wary edge]

Yeah?

[distant tulip]

the block id itself is "minecraft:monster_egg"

infested deepslate is the only one withe the right id "minecraft:infested_deepslate"

[wary edge]

Its flattenned in .20 or .10

[grave thistle]

No sound is being played using this:
entity.dimension.playSound("fall.amethyst_block", entity.location, { volume: entity.getDynamicProperty("scan_volume") * 0.01, pitch: 3 });

The scan_volume property is set via UI slider:
sProperty("scan_volume", r.formValues[8] * 0.01);

How come this isn't working?

The slider goes from 0-100

[noble lagoon]

It was working perfectly and suddenly it started showing these errors

i have no idea what happened

[solar dagger]

Just a question because I haven't seen this yet, but why do you have the two green variables like that

[ocean escarp]

It’s just comments. It has no impact on the functionality of the code

[noble lagoon]

they are in comment

[north rapids]

How do I test by block id and state?

[noble lagoon]

I've been racking my brain over this for half an hour

This thing was working perfectly

[solar dagger]

Oh 😳 I don't use notes in my code, should probably start doing that

[north rapids]

Like "minecraft:dirt" ["dirt_type" = "normal"] ?

[noble lagoon]

(🇧🇷) Se eu soubesse alguma coisa de blocos eu ajudava, mas tú deve achar na lib

[north rapids]

Eu dei uma olhada mas n entendi bem como funciona ;P

[thorn flicker]

block.typeId
block.permutation.getState('name', value)

[noble lagoon]

Esse negócio de teste é condições né?

[north rapids]

Tks

[north rapids]

Ss

[noble lagoon]

O mano aí explicou

[north rapids]

De qualquer forma, valeu 🫡

[noble lagoon]

Can anyone help me with MolangVariableMap? For particles

[thorn flicker]

Yes

[distant tulip]

send your particle file

[thorn flicker]

are you going to help them

[distant tulip]

i will see what i can do

[noble lagoon]

created in snowstorm

[thorn flicker]

show script side

[north rapids]

So it would be something like this?

if (block.typeId = "minecraft:dirt" && block.permutation.getState("dirt_type","normal"))

[distant tulip]

this is the script?

[thorn flicker]

no

[noble lagoon]

The particle json

[noble lagoon]

Ok

[thorn flicker]

you are not assigning values, you are checking them.

[thorn flicker]

use 3 equal operators " === "

[north rapids]

I didn't realize I only put one

Tks

[thorn flicker]

and im pretty sure that state name and value is wrong

im not sure what it is called, but you could use commands and see the auto completions to figure out.

oh you are right, it is dirt_type

...and normal

lol, okay, everything is right sorry

[thorn flicker]

seems like that was your only mistake, this should be all set 👍

[north rapids]

Np tysm for the help

Time to go back to remaking hoes

[distant tulip]

@noble lagoon
the script side should look like this

let mvm = new MolangVariableMap(); mvm.setSpeedAndDirection(`v.entityDirection`, 20, vector3 ) //vector3 is direction
entity.dimension.spawnParticle("arc:dash", vector3, mvm) // vector3 is position

20 is the speed

[thorn flicker]

speed and direction will not work anymore, iirc

[noble lagoon]

Thanks, I'll look into this better

[thorn flicker]

use setVector3 instead

[distant tulip]

let me take a look at the docs
that was an old script i used

[thorn flicker]

Someone told me this, and setSpeed wasnt working for me

[noble lagoon]

But that's literally what I did

I separated it into vector3 and a float

In different variables

[thorn flicker]

you're good, everything looks fine

[distant tulip]

v.variableName not variableName

-# i think?

[thorn flicker]

uhhh

[distant tulip]

test it and see

[noble lagoon]

v.variable is the string you put inside the method

This thing worked before

[thorn flicker]

yeah

put variable in string aswell, thats what I do

[thorn flicker]

.

[distant tulip]

that is not what you are doing?
molangVarMap.setVector3("variable.test", vector3)

@thorn flicker

[noble lagoon]

It is instructed that the variable.variableName be only in the particle

I'm going to test putting this in the name but I don't think it will change anything

[distant tulip]

that what i was using so idk

#1155518084078112809 message

[thorn flicker]

well thats how I have in my projects

and it's working.

[noble lagoon]

Did not work

[noble lagoon]

I don't see any error in the codes, I don't eliminate the possibility of error, but...

It literally just broke out of nowhere

Maybe the snowstorm broke something, which is usual.

[thorn flicker]

then I have no clue.

[noble lagoon]

The problem was simply capital letters

I write variableName in the particle

But Minecraft reads variablename

A rather stupid problem, I noticed it by seeing that the errors only wrote the name of the particle with everything in lowercase

[dense skiff]

        "canopy:customFuse": {
            "minecraft:explode": {
            "fuse_length": 4, // change this from ScriptAPI
            "fuse_lit": true,
            "power": 4,
            "causes_fire": false
            }
        },
    }

Is this possible? Current solution is just to make lots of different component groups with different fuse times and select the appropriate one, but I'd rather just be able to set the value smoothly.

[subtle cove]

DataDrivenEntityTriggerBeforeEvent

Sth like that

[dense skiff]

beta's only got the afterevent I think

ill take a look

[subtle cove]

U can control an event what comp_group to add/remove

[dense skiff]

yes you can trigger events, but I want to modify some event settings, and then trigger it

oh so getModifiers() on this might work
https://stirante.com/script/server/1.15.0-beta.1.21.30-preview.21/classes/DataDrivenEntityTriggerAfterEvent.html

since those are writable

[subtle cove]

Hmm, so they removed the beforeevent of it

There was setModifiers in beforeevent

[amber granite]

Yeah

[north rapids]

How do I modify the block state?

[dense skiff]

@subtle cove The data driven entity trigger event can modify which components are used, but not the arguments of those components. Is there a way to edit the arguments?

[north rapids]

system.run() maybe?

[dense skiff]

Nah that's different this is already an afterevent. It only gives you the strings of the component id.

[north rapids]

Oh

[subtle cove]

it was possible in old beta, sadly

[dense skiff]

dang

did you double check the event? I might be looking at this wrong

[shy leaf]

does anyone have a template for detecting player selecting slot

actually nvm i can make one

[dense skiff]

player.selectedSlotIndex?

[shy leaf]

yeah but it returns the number only

i was looking for smth like detecting the change

should be simple to make

[dense skiff]

Yep-- I've done it. A runInterval that updates the lastSelectedSlot, then you can just check if the player has scrolled since the last tick with this:

function hasScrolled(player) {
    return player.selectedSlotIndex !== lastSelectedSlots[player.id];
}```

[shy leaf]

neato, ty

(i almost made the code too complex until i saw this)

[dense skiff]

yw

[dense skiff]

so again, anyone know if you can do this without just creating a ton of customFuse events?

[near siren]

Is there any alternative for isOp() for realms?

[remote oyster]

Yea, a custom security check. A lot of different methods and ideas to roll with that. Just have to hit the drawing board and be creative on how you wish to manage it.

[gray tinsel]

how would I add custom classes to a preexisitng class like Player?

[near siren]

Not sure if you can completely, but I dont see why not. I think you'd use 'extends' to extend from the Player class.Doc for extends

[gray tinsel]

yeah I'm not sure if that would really work unfortunately as I want to kinda create a manager system per player, and the best I have at the moment is a map storing the playerId and manager

specifically for the player since you can't create a new instance of a player so I would somehow need to convert the parent to the extended class

[valid ice]

Object.defineProperties(Player.prototype, {
    getter: {
        get() {
            return true;
        }
    },
    setter: {
        set(value) {
            this.setDynamicProperty('test', value);
        }
    },
    function: {
        value(param1, param2) {
            return param1 + param2;
        }
    }
})```

[prisma shard]

uh

so

[shy leaf]

would setting an entity's health value in entityHitEntity event apply the health before the entity gets 'hurt'?

[prisma shard]

how can i get the entity, that i have hit , in projectileHItEvent ?

[valid ice]

Have you read the docs

[prisma shard]

i am messing for 1 hour

with docs

location returns even if i shoot the projectile even at a block

but i cant detect if i have hit entity

um, i... am ... on.... 1.4.0-beta

there is no projectileHitEntity

[shy leaf]

Why

[prisma shard]

there is only projectileHit

[valid ice]

is the same

i have to figure out now that the code will run after hitting a entity
these code run even if i shoot the arrow on a block

thats the problem

[gray tinsel]

Ty

[gray tinsel]

Sorry would this need to be applied in a specific file to be applied globally?

[valid ice]

I have mine in a file which is imported into each file I use. I don't think it really matters as long as your manifest file can access it..?

[gray tinsel]

Ah right ok

[granite badger]

Try to use entityHurt event instead of projectileHit

[chrome flint]

why are you still calling for interval variable?

[chrome flint]

why not use projectileHitEntity?

world.afterEvents.projectileHit.subscribe((event) => {
  let {location: hitLocation, source} = event
  let entityHit = event.getEntityHit()
  if (!(source instanceof Player) || !entityHit) return;
  const hitDistance = Math.trunc(calculateDistance(source.location, hitLocation));
  const interval =
    system.runInterval(() => {
      world.getAllPlayers().forEach(source => {
        source.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`Player has hit an entity ${hitDistance} blocks away`)
      });
    });
  system.runTimeout(() => {
    system.clearRun(interval);
  }, secondsToTicks(1));
});

@prisma shard

[shy leaf]

wait a damn minute

is onBeforeDurabilityDamage technically entityHitEntity but focused on item?

i should test smth with this

[thorn flicker]

its detecting when the tool gets damaged, not when the tool damages an entity

[shy leaf]

but theres a property hitEntity

for some reason

[thorn flicker]

because durability damage isn't just mining

I think that's why

[granite badger]

E.g. swords take durability damage when it hits an entity

[shy leaf]

oh hmmm

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[granite badger]

oh there is onHitEntity too as mentioned

[thorn flicker]

ye

I would've expected a "cause" property or something for the durability.

is the durabilityDamage property able to be edited?

[granite badger]

the other event listeners pretty does that, that durability fires when it’s like "when everything happens", also yes you can edit damage

[thorn flicker]

meaning we can use this instead of getting the durability component, and making methods out of that

[granite badger]

custom item only*

[thorn flicker]

well yeah

ik

well this doesnt trigger the damage, this just edits the damage obviously

[burnt remnant]

i have a game theory, normal mods that are common on java have it so you can make chairs and sit in them, theoretically for bedrock, could you make a chair block and when you interact with it, it teleports you inside the block and plays the animation for when you are inside a minecart so it looks like you are sitting, and when you move the player, the animation stops?

cause using an entity is so boring and unoriginal

[glacial widget]

How do I getComponent a players armor slots?

[wary edge]

Custom items only take damage when hitting an entity. However, since the game cant tell if your item is a weapon/proper tool or not, it will damage 2. This custom component allows you to fix it by making it get damaged 1

[shy leaf]

oh thats actually neat

[sage sparrow]

hi there, I noticed that sometime ago mojang/microsoft have changed the way they handle player.name ingame for consoles (at least for PS)
before ingame our player.name was the same as gamertag set on microsoft profile account.
now it uses the PSN name as player.name... which is causing some issues of correlation to my ban system.
is there a way I can get ingame the xbox gamertag instead of the PSN name? I know player.id would be unique, but I need to correlate it with the right gamertag

[shy leaf]

would setting an entity's health to 0 kill them?

[cold grove]

Yes / Why not .kill() method?

[shy leaf]

well no

i mean

im using a calculation that gets damage value to set health

so

[cold grove]

Yes then

[shy leaf]

aight ty

[distant tulip]

have you tested that?

[remote oyster]

I'm just piggybacking off what Herobrine64 showed you to give more clarity:

import { Player } from '@minecraft/server';

export function initializePlayerPrototype() {
    Object.defineProperties(Player.prototype, {
        isSpecialPlayer: {
            get() {
                return true;
            }
        },
        setTestProperty: {
            set(value) {
                this.setDynamicProperty('test', value);
                return this;
            }
        },
        addTwoNumbers: {
            value(param1, param2) {
                return param1 + param2;
            }
        }
    });
}

import { world } from '@minecraft/server';
import { initializePlayerPrototype } from './playerPrototypeModifications';

// Handle the worldInitialize event
world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(() => {
    // Initialize the Player prototype
    initializePlayerPrototype();
    
    // Additional initialization code
});

Some may disagree with you using Prototypes. If you know what you are doing then ignore the hate you may get.

[grave thistle]

How do I add text from a language file to a text box in an ActionFormData(); UI?

[cold grove]

Read the documentation, use a Rawtext instead of string

.body({ translate: 'my.body' })

[neat hazel]

system.runTimeout, system.runInterval, system.run
What is the difference between them and what are they for?

[wary edge]

Run - once
RunInterval - Run every X ticks
RunTimeout - Run once after x ticks

[viscid horizon]

can I import whole js files into my entry file or can it only be constants and functions that can be exported

[buoyant canopy]

you can import the whole file yes

[viscid horizon]

tell me how please

[buoyant canopy]

import "./file.js"

[neat hazel]

Oh ok I got it
Thks

[viscid horizon]

I did that but my files still didn’t run

[buoyant canopy]

can you show a screenshot of your scripts folder?

and the script you have done the import in and the one you imported?

[shy leaf]

content logs?

[viscid horizon]

nothing

[shy leaf]

are you sure the js files are in the same directory the main script file is in?

you can set the path if you didnt know

(though the content log should say something if the file wasnt there)

[buoyant canopy]

just to be sure, this file is linked to the manifest right?

[viscid horizon]

yes

[buoyant canopy]

it should work then

[subtle cove]

What does the other files look like...

[prisma shard]

uh

const interval = system.runInterval(() => {
});


// the question is- do i need to put the variable here?
// because the interval is stored in a variable
// then how the code run, if its stored in a variable?
// i tried removing this "interval;", but it still work...
// does clearRun runs the variable, then stops it?
interval;


system.runTimeout(() => {
   // stop the runInterval after 1 second
   system.clearRun(interval);
},20);
```^

help me solve this confusion @valid ice

[valid ice]

?

[prisma shard]

i described the question in comments

in the code

//

[distant tulip]

🗿 learn js

[prisma shard]

:((

why not explain that

the problem

[distant tulip]

you keep coming with stuff like this

[prisma shard]

but i am not asking for code

this channel is for solving anyone's confusion isnt it

[valid ice]

interval is a number which is the ID of the runInterval loop

[distant tulip]

the code is not stored in the variable the code run and return a number that we store in the variable
that number refer to that interval
look at it like this "hey i am ruining an interval with the id xxxx"
then when we want to clear it we can do that easily sense we have it "address"

[valid ice]

When you clearRun that variable, it stops the runInterval

[prisma shard]

oh

understoood

[neat hound]

you can also put the clearRun inside of the first interval if you add a timer```JS
let ctr=0
const runId = system.runInterval(() => {
if (ctr++ == 20) system.clearRun(runId);

<go do stuff here>

),1}```

[prisma shard]

can i use for loop to clearRun a interval after 20 ticks

[neat hound]

Well this one is if the interval is every tick... if not, then outside.. like if you had an interval for every 1.5 minutes and you wanted it to stop at 10 minutes, then it would need to be outside the loop for ease of reading, or inside with the correct math

[prisma shard]

i was to keep my interval keep running ever tick, then after 20 ticks, the interval will stopped by clearRun

[neat hound]

yes

[prisma shard]

i wanna use for loop

[prisma shard]

to do this

[neat hound]

No, for loop goes fast

[tiny tartan]

use system.runTimeOut

[prisma shard]

okie

[neat hound]

try it... see how many iterations of a for loop you get in a tick

It is best to test out your theories, that is how you learn... from experience

[distant tulip]

this is doing more work than a runTimeout

[prisma shard]

const interval = system.runInterval(() => { });
        
system.runTimeout(() => {
     system.clearRun(interval);
}, secondsToTicks(1.5));```

[prisma shard]

i was just testing how things work, but this is my final code

[neat hound]

Yes it may, but if you wanted to do something with the counter, then it is there. Either way works, just showing alternatives... there is even a 3rd way with a for loop and and just system.runTimout.

[distant tulip]

yeah
he is looking for something like a for loop, so i can see why is that better

[neat hound]

But for readability and maintainability by others, then the 1st way is best, no one has to guess what you are trying to do and make sure your math is correct.

[neat hound]

be sure to add the interval number to the first system.....

even if it is one

[chrome flint]

doesnt really need to

[distant tulip]

system.currentTick could also be used

[last latch]

onTestFailed: wasdhc:simulatedplayer - Failed to spawn test structure with path 'structures/wasdhc/simulatedplayer.mcstructure pops up whenever i run a gametest. I want to test something out using simulatedPlayer but for some reason it wants ot place a tst structure, can i avoid it?
code :

import { register } from "@minecraft/server-gametest";
register("wasdhc", "simulatedplayer", ((gameTestData) => { console.warn("ASd"); }));

[neat hound]

I know it does not need it, but best practice is to be clear in your intent. I try to w rite my code like someone else has to maintain it.... like the intern who does not know the details of the method

[chrome flint]

same problem, idk how to start simulated players too

[wary edge]

Simulated Player is a gametest thing which requires structures

[last latch]

gametest is weird. do i need something or can thge structure be filled with air / empty. by this i mean do i need anything to make it run

[subtle cove]

Prob a special .mcstructure

[distant tulip]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1236436817247469720

there is one here

[chrome flint]

i used that last week and idk why it doesn't work, it always says failed to run

i want to use simulated players for testing systems where i need multiple players to run something

[wary edge]

Bc gametest is used for unit testing lol

Gametest isnt meant for normal addons

[distant tulip]

it did for me
but as smokey said use it only for testing

[chrome flint]

yeah i just need it to test some things that required some players

[chrome flint]

im thinking its a problem on my manifest file, can you tell me what gametest module did you use?

[valid ice]

Isn't there only one available version?

[prisma shard]

can anyone give me a delay function

[chrome flint]

system.runTimeout bro

[prisma shard]

that will delay some code to the desired ticks

..

[prisma shard]

function delay (ticks) {
    new Promise(resolve => system.runTimeout(resolve, ticks));
} ```

[chrome flint]

you literally used it in here

[prisma shard]

i made one but it dont work

[warm drum]

This is not exactly where to ask it but do u guy remember the hidden setting in BDS that allow certain command?

[prisma shard]

@valid ice why does it not work??

[valid ice]

idk

[warm drum]

Like the privilege level 4 setting

[neat hound]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_12_0_beta.System.html#waitTicks

[chrome flint]

yeah use this, this returns a promise @prisma shard

[distant tulip]

@warm drum

[last latch]

well i created one and put into my world
but still shows this message

sorry for hte ping, forgot to turn off

[prisma shard]

sadly i am on 1.4.0-beta, and waitTicks doesn't exist there

so i gotta make a function myself

like waitTicks

that returns a promise

[wary edge]

Why?

Are you on edu or smthng?

[distant tulip]

-# not this talk again lol

[chrome flint]

i wonder why you can't update your minecraft loll

[remote oyster]

Why can't you update from 1.20.10???

[buoyant canopy]

can we read the container of a chest in a saved structure without placing it? i assume the answer is no, because we can get the permutation, and not the block itself.

[sudden nest]

Can't you not reassign the movement component value of any entity? Like if i want this entity to not move? Since it's only read-only.

If we can't then sadge

[prisma shard]

i can just say..
I, don't, have, microsoft store.

[grave nebula]

is it possible to grab the items of a players inventory and see what item they are holding?

[valid ice]

It is possible, yes

[grave nebula]

how would i go about doing it

[valid ice]

const item = player.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Mainhand') will return an ItemStack

[grave nebula]

ah ok thanks

[prisma shard]

/**
 * Getting the item that player is holding
 */
const item = player.getComponent("inventory").container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);```

or also you can do it this way

[grave nebula]

how would i go about returning all the items as json and if you have like a list of the possible functions with that

like every inventory item

and like the amount, enchantments, etc

[prisma shard]

loop though the container

[grave nebula]

its not an array is it?

ive tried forEach with no luck

[valid ice]

You need to player.getComponent("inventory").container.getItem() for each slot

[grave nebula]

ah ok

[valid ice]

const container = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
for (let i = 0; i < container.size; i++) {
  container.getItem(i);
  //Other stuff
}```

[prisma shard]

const invContainer = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
 for (let i = 0; i < invContainer.size; i++) {

            const item = playerContainer.getItem(i);```

BRO I SWEA-

[valid ice]

size should really be set before the loop as well

saves performance

[grave nebula]

alr

[prisma shard]

i swear i sent this before herobrine, but just bcoz of my internet, it was sent some seconds later 😭

[grave nebula]

😭

[prisma shard]

lol\

[valid ice]

sadge

[prisma shard]

herobrine

hey

can u make a delay function for me @herobrine

[valid ice]

?

[valid ice]

the this?

[prisma shard]

yeah,

[prisma shard]

waitTicks don't exist in my version

so i have to make waitTicks function myslef

[grave nebula]

world.getAllPlayers().forEach(async player => {
  const container = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
  const size = container.size
  for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    const item = container.getItem(i);
    if (!item) return;
    world.sendMessage(JSON.stringify({ typeId: item.typeId, amount: i, enchants: item.enchants }))
  }
})```

when running this it doesnt seem to grab weapons ex: diamond sword or a bow

and i wanted to test enchants with it

[wary edge]

You're going to have a hard time being stuck in an old version. Just update it. It's going to annoy a lot of people especially since you never specify the version you're using

[wary edge]

.enchants is not a thing in item

[valid ice]

https://github.com/JaylyDev/ScriptAPI/blob/main/scripts/sleep/README.md

[grave nebula]

ok it still doesnt work with weapons

[valid ice]

Should work for everything

[sharp elbow]

(and you won't want to print i for amount, that's your iterating variable)

[grave nebula]

i just saw that 😭

fixed the amount

but still no bow showing up

world.getAllPlayers().forEach(async player => {
  const container = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
  const size = container.size;
  for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    const item = container.getItem(i);
    if (!item) return;
    world.sendMessage(JSON.stringify({ typeId: item.typeId, amount: item.amount }))
  }
})```

[valid ice]

aside from the .enchants property, I do not see a problem there

[grave nebula]

damn

[valid ice]

ah wiat

[wary edge]

Is it the .size

[valid ice]

return would return

out of the function

[wary edge]

Ah

[valid ice]

You want to use continue

[grave nebula]

ah ok

yep works

thanks

😭 im slow sometimes

[valid ice]

the return is triggering on the first empty slot- essentially saying, "if this slot is empty, then stop this forEach iteration"

[grave nebula]

#1271187723486625833 i plan on making a inventory gatherer like this for easier use

[sharp elbow]

We didn't see it at first either. It's an easy mistake

[prisma shard]

did i just make the same thing, as the thing you sent me 😭

[valid ice]

seems so

[prisma shard]

I JUST DIDNT PUT RETURN,

thats why the function was not working lol

[grave nebula]

😭

what is the enderchest component id?

[valid ice]

welp

ShadyMoon stole your return

[grave nebula]

💀

[valid ice]

Does not exist

[grave nebula]

flip

[valid ice]

womp womp fr

[grave nebula]

😭

was gonna make enderchest see

[valid ice]

Everyone and their grandmother wants it

[sharp elbow]

So the ender chest is outright not accessible?

[valid ice]

Only with commands

[sharp elbow]

Ah, fair. /replaceitem and such

[grave nebula]

it probably is thru replaceitem

[valid ice]

yep.

Very slow, many iterations, and can only access certain item data.

[grave nebula]

why has mojang been so closed up abt it

weve been asked for awhile 😭

[valid ice]

I am sure they're working on many things that the community wants

[grave nebula]

yea

right...

[valid ice]

script devs are pretty generous with features- if it exists, they would release it.

[grave nebula]

fair

but i couldnt imagine it not being possible

[valid ice]

it's definitely possible- it's accessible via commands, so it has to exist on some level.

[grave nebula]

mhm

[valid ice]

Priorities for script API at the moment is getting HCF & custom components out

[grave nebula]

hcf?

[wary edge]

Which is over now

[valid ice]

DEATH TO HCF RAHHHHHHHHH

[valid ice]

Holiday Creator Features

[grave nebula]

what do those even do 😭

[valid ice]

Item & block components & events

Some components were made stable, others were tweaked and made stable, and events were completely removed in favour of custom components in script API

[grave nebula]

they need to make the getComponent a class so i can actually see what im doing instead of guessing if it exists 😭

[valid ice]

it autocompletes for me/

[grave nebula]

i dont get shi from it

[umbral dune]

Does ItemStack.prototype.setLore need system.run?

[grave nebula]

shouldnt

[valid ice]

It does

[grave nebula]

why 😭

[umbral dune]

(The answer is up to me, right?)

[valid ice]

setLore modifies the world, so if it's being used in a before event, it needs to be pushed to the next tick

If you are not using a before event, it does not need system run

[prisma shard]

btw if your getting itemStack from inventory component, then you need to set the lore into the slot, not the item.

[grave nebula]

is it possible to get an items enchants

[umbral dune]

Does setDynamicProperty need it?

[wary edge]

Get the enchantable component

[valid ice]

I see- it completes for me.
You can also use jsdocs to type cast the container variable.

[grave nebula]

idk how to do that, how would i grab a certain items enchants

[prisma shard]

i had some class, wait let me search my folders, if i still have t

[valid ice]

/** @type {Container} */ above the variable declaration

[grave nebula]

i have an old inventory see somewhere but i cant find it

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.15.0-beta.1.21.30-preview.22/classes/ItemEnchantableComponent.html

[valid ice]

1.15.0-beta 😱

[prisma shard]

@grave nebula
i have a whole class,
which has methods like getEnchant, addEnchant, removeEnchant

[wary edge]

RTX be like

You dont need a custom class for that

[prisma shard]

import {EnchantmentTypes, ItemEnchantableComponent} from '@minecraft/server';

export class Enchantments {
    //returns an Array of Enchantments the itemStack has
    static getEnchants(itemStack){        
        let enchantmentsArray = [];
        if(!itemStack.hasComponent(ItemEnchantableComponent.componentId)) return []
        const eCompo = itemStack.getComponent(ItemEnchantableComponent.componentId);
        enchantmentsArray = eCompo.getEnchantments();
        return enchantmentsArray;        
    }
}

@grave nebula

[grave nebula]

thx

[prisma shard]

it returns an array of enchantments, the itemStack has. :))

[valid ice]

Back in my day enchant component sucked to use

[prisma shard]

whats the time in ur area

[valid ice]

?

[prisma shard]

just curous

[valid ice]

1:22 pm

[prisma shard]

i am staring at my pc at midnight as always 🙂

[umbral dune]

What happens if the length of the string I put in setLore() is greater than 50 characters?

[prisma shard]

won't work

[valid ice]

The game yells at you and it doesn't set

[umbral dune]

funni

[valid ice]

Would be nice if it auto-truncated it

[sharp elbow]

Doesn't it still suck to use? I saw it was so weirdly structured

[prisma shard]

fr

[sharp elbow]

I guess I'm asking if we still need to pass an EnchantmentType instance to the type property

[wary edge]

How so? Aside from the slots missing a few things

[valid ice]

Better than before- you had to do some weird stuff with setting & getting the component for it to work

[sharp elbow]

Mm

[grave nebula]

world.getAllPlayers().forEach(async player => {
  const container = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
  const size = container.size;
  let inventory = []
  for (let i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    const item = container.getItem(i);
    if (!item) continue;
    const enchants = Enchantments.getEnchants(item) || [];
    inventory.push({typeId: item.typeId, name: item.name, lore: item.getLore(), amount: item.amount, placement: i, enchants: enchants})
  }
  world.sendMessage(JSON.stringify({ playerId: player.id, inventory: inventory}))
})```
how would i get the items name?

ive tried item.name and item.getName()

neither work

[valid ice]

const enchantment = item.getComponent('enchantments');
    const enchantmentList = enchantment.enchantments;
    for (const enchantType in enchants) {
        enchantmentList.addEnchantment(new Enchantment(enchantType, enchants[enchantType] || undefined));
    }
    enchantment.enchantments = enchantmentList;
``` from an old script of mine

[grave nebula]

its nameTag isnt it

[valid ice]

nameTag

yes

[grave nebula]

yep

hmm

it still doesnt work

[valid ice]

You can't get the lang file definition for the name, if that's what you're after

[grave nebula]

oh

[valid ice]

e.g. "Blackstone Bricks"

[grave nebula]

damnit

😭

[valid ice]

Gotta format the typeId

[grave nebula]

are there any resources for that

[valid ice]

Or manually map all typeIds to their respective names

[valid ice]

typeId.replace(/.*(?<=:)/, '').replace(/_/g, ' ').replace(/(^\w|\s\w)/g, m => m.toUpperCase());

[grave nebula]

oh god

i mean it works

🤷‍♂️

[valid ice]

Removes the namespace, replaces underscores with spaces, and capitalizes the start of each word

[grave nebula]

W

regex >

[valid ice]

real

Regex helped me do custom enchants from item lore back in the day

fun (& laggy) times

[grave nebula]

ok slight issue

when i have items with data ex: red sand what would i grad

grab*

item.data?

[valid ice]

can't

[grave nebula]

bru

[wary edge]

Wait for the flatenning

[valid ice]

No way to get that, unfortunately

[grave nebula]

😭 wtf mojang

how would i add a item/remove one from the player inventory?

[valid ice]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/container?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable has methods for all that

transferItem, moveItem, etc

[umbral dune]

help? the lore doesn't appear on my item, what gamerule do I have to enable to show the lore of my item?

[valid ice]

No gamerule needed

Are you setting the item back after updating the lore?

[umbral dune]

system.run(() => {
        const result = `§7source position set to §s${target.x} ${target.y} ${target.z}§r`.replace(/(?![^\n]{1,49}$)([^\n]{1,49})\s/g, "$1\n");
        e.itemStack.setLore(typeof result === "array" ? result : [result]);
        inventory.setItem(e.player.selectedSlotIndex, e.itemStack);
      });

[umbral dune]

I'm setting :(

[valid ice]

Maybe try defining the itemstack & the player as a variable outside of the system run

[umbral dune]

hm, ok

do you mean that?

system.run(() => {
        const result = `§7source position set to §s${target.x} ${target.y} ${target.z}§r`.replace(/(?![^\n]{1,49}$)([^\n]{1,49})\s/g, "$1\n");
        e.itemStack.setLore(typeof result === "array" ? result : [result]);
      });
      inventory.setItem(e.player.selectedSlotIndex, e.itemStack);

[valid ice]

player & item

and outside the system run

[umbral dune]

I don't understand

[valid ice]

const itemStack = e.itemStack;
const player = e.player;

And work with those instead of the event variables

[umbral dune]

hm, I'll do that, if it works I'll let you know

@valid ice it didn't work, and I had to change all variables that had the name "block" to avoid conflicts.

[valid ice]

ah lol

[umbral dune]

I guess there's nothing I can do. ⚔️

Do translation keys not work for slider labels on modal UI forms? Every other aspect works like toggles and buttons, but slider just display the key and not the key's value

Slider key is config_UI_1.slider_1 both in my script and the en_US language file

Also noticed the key doesn't work for the textbox on action form UI

[untold magnet]

sup guys

well, I'm trying to do something a little bit complicated

making the new custom blocks always has the regular statements, but when the player starts looking at the block, the statement will be changed in a specific case, but when the player looks around the block it will automatically change into the regular statement

without using "minecraft:ticks" or custom block components

i might not be doing that for now, cuz maybe mojang will introduce it later i mean who knows :/

Hey! @wary edge any idea why im getting an undefined error here!
Im sure its the second event im subscribing to, because i get no error when it is commented out

[wary edge]

You're binding an after event to a before event

[devout dune]

so just remove the 'bind' ?

[wary edge]

Notice how the commented line says beforeEvents where as the bind is AfterEvent

[devout dune]

But its commented? I was cosuing on the third line

[devout dune]

Is the comment still somehow throwing that error

[random flint]

playerInteract is beta

[devout dune]

What should i use in the meantime? for player interacting with an entity

[random flint]

switch to beta in the manifest json

[devout dune]

Any other currently active events i can sub too?

[random flint]

wdym

entityHitEntity is stable iirc

[distant tulip]

maybe try item use and get entity from view

[devout dune]

Yea but entity hit entity is left click interaction. Im looking for right click

so the onInteract

[gray tinsel]

thanks for the further clarification

[buoyant canopy]

that doesn't work i believe, but i am not sure, i tested it on blocks and it didn't work

[distant tulip]

not with an empty hand

[buoyant canopy]

does it fire on entities?

it doesn't fire on blocks for sure.

[distant tulip]

huh
i tested it it blocks

are you using itemUseOn?

[buoyant canopy]

how did your test go exactly? i used afterEvents.itemUse to detect when i use an item on a block that isn't normally interactable and it didn't detect it.

the item also doesn't have interactions

the after event only fires when i am looking away from a block

[distant tulip]

itemUse always fire on use
i used that and getBlockFromViewDirection

[buoyant canopy]

are you sure about that?

[neat hazel]

Why doesn't it work?

mc.world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(eventData => {
  const player = eventData.player
  if (eventData.initialSpawn) {
    worldInitialized(player)
  }
})

[distant tulip]

yeah?
let retest that

[subtle cove]

Item right click triggers ItemUse on block or air

[distant tulip]

entities?

[subtle cove]

Getblockview is just 2nd approach

[shy leaf]

whatcha trying

[subtle cove]

Might not

[buoyant canopy]

i would retest as well when i can

[buoyant canopy]

what doesWorldInitialized function look like

[neat hazel]

Open an ActionForm when the player enters the world

[shy leaf]

try opening the form with other event

[oak lynx]

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(data => {
    const loc = data.block.location
    console.warn(!isLocInPlayerIsland(loc, data.player))
    if (isInMapRegion(loc) && data.player.getGameMode() == GameMode.survival) {
        if (!isLocInPlayerIsland(loc, data.player)) {
            data.cancel = true
        }
    }
})

all the functions work properly as in they return true and false at the right moments

[distant tulip]

put it in a run interval
clear the run if the form opened

[buoyant canopy]

oh, because the player screen didn't load yet

[shy leaf]

if it works, then you didnt make the form to check for cancel

[shy leaf]

you can just make the form to check if the form was canceled unintentionally

itll open the form by their own, since the form was already told to do that

[distant tulip]

was going to say that

[neat hazel]

function worldInitialized(player) {
  const form = new ui.ActionFormData()
    .title("title")
    .body("body")
    .button("button")
  form.show(player).then(r => {
    r.selection == 0 ? "" : null
  })
}

[shy leaf]

function dcConfig(player) {
    let form = new ModalFormData()
    .title("Dungeons Combat Settings")
    .toggle("Toggle Mod\n(You can use compass to open this menu.)", player.getDynamicProperty("dc_state"))
    .slider("Camera Distance", 15, 30, 1, player.getDynamicProperty("dc_camdist"))
    .slider("Camera Position", 1, 4, 1, player.getDynamicProperty("dc_campos"))
    .slider("Camera Lerp", 10, 50, 5, player.getDynamicProperty("dc_camlerp"));  
    form.show(player).then((response) => {
        const { canceled, formValues, cancelationReason } = response;
        if (response && canceled && cancelationReason === "UserBusy") {
            dcConfig(player);
            return;
        }
        if (canceled) return;
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_state",formValues[0])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_camdist",formValues[1])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_campos",formValues[2])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_camlerp",formValues[3])
        if (player.getDynamicProperty("dc_state") == true) {
            setcamera(player)
        } else {
            clearcamera(player)
        }
    })
    }

this is my modal form

[neat hazel]

I wanted to open it when I entered the world, it doesn't need to be playerSpawn, but I don't know any other way

[shy leaf]

you can just put it inside a runinterval with a check

to test it

(if you dont mind)

[amber granite]

No way

[buoyant canopy]

just keep loading it until r.canceled returns false

[remote oyster]

Put the form in a function. Call it in a spawn event. Verify if it's their initial spawn. Then call the function for the form. Verify if the user is busy. If they are, then recall the function. It will loop without creating a memory leak. When they are no longer busy the form will pop up on their screen.

[neat hound]

It may be too soon, either push it out a few secs in ticks ... or do a sendMessage to see if stuff can be seen at that time yet. I did something where I let them know where they last died when they re-log back on in case they did not choose to respawn at that time. I had to push the message 40 ticks.

[neat hazel]

Like this?

[subtle cove]

I'm not reading essays, am i...

[shy leaf]

form.show(player).then((response) => {
        const { canceled, formValues, cancelationReason } = response;
        if (response && canceled && cancelationReason === "UserBusy") {
            dcConfig(player);
            return;
        }
        if (canceled) return;
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_state",formValues[0])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_camdist",formValues[1])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_campos",formValues[2])
        player.setDynamicProperty("dc_camlerp",formValues[3])
        if (player.getDynamicProperty("dc_state") == true) {
            setcamera(player)
        } else {
            clearcamera(player)
        }
    });```

just use this as an example

[oak lynx]

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(data => {
    const loc = data.block.location
    const player = data.player
    if (player.getGameMode() == GameMode.survival) {
        if (!isLocInPlayerIsland(loc, player) || isInMapRegion(loc)) data.cancel = true
    }
})

i doubt anyone will ever search for anything like this ever but i feel like sending the solution anyways (dont do conditions at 2am it doesnt end well)
canceling block placement when outside plot and spawn

[neat hound]

Helps if you add a subject,.,, for the search

nice code tho

[distant tulip]

@buoyant canopy

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(e=>{
  const b = e.source.getBlockFromViewDirection()?.block??e.source.getEntitiesFromViewDirection()[0]?.entity
  console.warn(b?.typeId);
})

[buoyant canopy]

WHAT? what version of Minecraft is this?

[distant tulip]

latest stable

[buoyant canopy]

i did my test in a 1.21.10 preview

[oak lynx]

how do i motivate myself to organize this

[shy leaf]

jesus

[subtle cove]

Just do step by step

[shy leaf]

ok suggestion

[oak lynx]

i know how i just lack motivation 😭

[distant tulip]

it doesn't work when the interaction do something
like armor sand pose or trapdoor open

[shy leaf]

if you dont organize itll grow bigger

you must stop it before it becomes unstoppable

[buoyant canopy]

my test was with a Trial key on a used Vault.

[amber granite]

What are trying to do ?

[buoyant canopy]

clear my confusion about the itemUse after event lol

[distant tulip]

probably count as interaction

or itemUseOn

[buoyant canopy]

maybe, although there was no hand swinging animation

[amber granite]

But

[shy leaf]

i did saw a forum post about that

[amber granite]

Hmm did u try itemUseOn ?

[shy leaf]

iirc you need to use beforeEvents.worldInitialize for item's custom components

[subtle cove]

itemStartUseOn

[buoyant canopy]

this thing doesn't fire if there wasn't a successful interaction between the item and the block

[amber granite]

Hmmm , but

The vault interaction it just like bonemeal

Bonemeal on grass block

[distant tulip]

yeah that still the same
active vault do work tho

[sudden nest]

https://tenor.com/view/myeyes-gif-5294202

[distant tulip]

me and my one file habit

[buoyant canopy]

that clears things, so does the itemUseOn fires when using a trial key on a used Vault?

[oak lynx]

this is even worse

i did it once for a box pvp server

never again

[sudden nest]

I literally organized my project structure with guilt in my heart just because I saw a large project that is organized xp

[shy leaf]

me who had export function habit before i realized class exists

[wary edge]

camelCase filenames

[sudden nest]

Decoupling files into another files from other folders = ☠️

[shy leaf]

Why

💀

[oak lynx]

iLoveCamelCase

[wary edge]

And yet, your name is PascalCase, intriguing

[distant tulip]

all my projects are one file scripts
even 1000+ line ones

[oak lynx]

it wouldnt look good in camelCase it can be an exception ok

[shy leaf]

haha i have a database with nearly two thousand lines

[amber granite]

switch(x){
case🐫 : console.log("camelCase")
break;
}

[strange dagger]

Hey someone can tell me what's the problem of my shark because it despawn and respawn a little time after

[sudden nest]

I mean I use index.ts/js (for each directory to just easily import it, but still need to exclude some coupled files, so it doesn't blow up) so it's really hard and time consuming for me

[strange dagger]

The problem apparear at ~30s

[buoyant canopy]

i keep each feature in its dedicated file

[distant tulip]

it dose fire tow times

[shy leaf]

what did you use to despawn the shark

[buoyant canopy]

lol, even though there is no hand animation

[strange dagger]

"minecraft:despawn": {
                "despawn_from_chance": false,
                "despawn_from_distance": {
                    "min_distance": 10000,
                    "max_distance": 999999
                },
                "despawn_from_inactivity": false,

                "remove_child_entities": false
            },

[shy leaf]

oh i thought it was scripts

[amber granite]

I don't get it , what u want to do with hand animation

[distant tulip]

ah i meant for not used vault
it doesn't work with used one

[random flint]

isn't there like persistent component so it will never despawn?
oh nvm, it's just a 10k block away from Despawn

[buoyant canopy]

so used vaults are basically undetectable?

[strange dagger]

I don't know anything like that

[distant tulip]

in stable

[buoyant canopy]

ye

but every other block in the game is 😂

[distant tulip]

kinda wired

[shy leaf]

its probably similar to mobs not despawning if tamed or was fed at least once

you could use that

and then use scripts to despawn sharks instead

[buoyant canopy]

the single case i tried, is the one that can't be detected 😂

[sudden nest]

I found mine from this repo (First large project I found that is organized): https://github.com/nox7/mc-bedrock-villager-system

[strange dagger]

I don't want despawn the shark, that's my problem

[shy leaf]

oh just entirely?

[distant tulip]

that would be funny if all the other blocks work

[strange dagger]

Yes I would like it to go around the island but it has a radius of 200 blocks

[shy leaf]

"minecraft:persistent": {},

put that inside entity json

[sudden nest]

Yippee my discord following to dev and script resources post now works

[strange dagger]

it does'nt working, but i think it's because the entity don't moving because the shark just have an animation who move it but he stay at the same place

[buoyant canopy]

maybe add some navigation behavior components

like : minecraft:behavior.random_swim

[strange dagger]

ok but if i do that the shark doesn't go around the island ? it just swim randomly

[random flint]

From what I see in the video, it's likely the resource pack fault.

The entity didn't despawn and respawn. The model just disappeared when in certain angle and distance.

Probably because the entity's hitbox was out of the camera visible range. Making the game to unload the entity model?

[strange dagger]

The entity don't moving because the shark just have an animation who move it but he stay at the same place

[random flint]

That's the issue

The actual entity was out of the player camera, so Minecraft unloaded the model for performance

[strange dagger]

So I can't make the shark go around the island without making random movements? I must move the entity randomly ?

[shy leaf]

try increasing the entity's collision box or hitbox

[pale terrace]

Is it possible to make an item unable to be picked up?

[random flint]

or... make the model rotate based on the entity's head rotation. Then teleport it repeatedly in a predetermined path. (not animation)

[shy leaf]

i heard you can edit the time of item pick up time by editing NBT data?

[subtle cove]

Cleared, yes, but answer is no

[shy leaf]

nvm then

[pale terrace]

damm it

You can't apply animations to an item using playanimation either, right? I tried but I didn't get any results

[shy leaf]

you can filter out items and play animations on player

but you cant apply animations on item

[pale terrace]

I need it in the item entity

[pale terrace]

I guess it's over

[shy leaf]

then no

[pale terrace]

Yes, I look for it to be compatible with any item

[chrome flint]

mines compatible with any item lol including custom ones from other addons

[umbral dune]

I still need help :)

[pale terrace]

What did you do to achieve that?

[chrome flint]

just create an entity with mainhand

then display the item in it

[pale terrace]

epico

thank you!

[pale terrace]

And in this case there are several entities? one for each item?

[chrome flint]

no, lol, you just need one

[pale terrace]

do they have many hands then? xd

[chrome flint]

each entity can display 1-2 item, mainhand and offhand

if that's what you mean

[pale terrace]

but in your clip there are more than 2 items

[chrome flint]

yep, it consists of 4 entities

[pale terrace]

nice

thank you!

[true isle]

is on random tick before or after event?

https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/preview/metadata/engine_modules/engine-after-events-ordering.json

theres also beforeevents orders so you could check that

[viscid horizon]

would this work or is it stupid

[subtle cove]

string, not array

[viscid horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[subtle cove]

Practice the native methods, madudes

applyDamage

[amber granite]

This is not even runCommands ☠️

[viscid horizon]

I got lazy

[subtle cove]

[{families:["infantry"]}, {type:"ata:vehicle"}, {type:"ata:aircraft"}]
.forEach(q => {
    if (target.matches(q)) target.applyDamage(125, {cause:"override"}) 
}) ```

[viscid horizon]

yeah this looks pretty interesting, thanks

[subtle cove]

Those {} are just EntityQueryOptions

[viscid horizon]

where uh would I fit these

[subtle cove]

Just at the target.runCommand

Replace it there

if (target....) {
    [{}].forEach... 
} ```

[viscid horizon]

okay 👍

[viscid horizon]

real quick question

what if I want to damage each families with different amounts of damage?

[subtle cove]

[{families: ["infantry"]}, {families: ["mob"]}, ...othrstuff]
``````js
const dmgs = {
    infantry: 100,
    mob: 50
}    
``````js
const dmg = dmgs[q.families?.[0]] ?? 125
target.applyDamage(dmg, {cause: "override"}) 

[grave thistle]

Why isn't this displaying the message? It only displays the translation keys + whatever is within the ${}

entity.sendMessage({ translate: `seeker_wand.scan_message_1`.concat(` `, `seeker_wand.scan_1`, ` `, `${i}`, ` `, `seeker_wand.scan_message_2`, ` `, `${bSide}!`) });

Doesn't work removing .concat and adding + between the keys

[shy leaf]

ya saying it doesnt show

` `

that?

[grave thistle]

In game it's displayed as "seeker_wand.scan_message_1 seeker_wand.scan_1 999 seeker_wand.scan_message_2 East"

[near siren]

When someone teleports far away and they're just in 'limbo' for a couple of seconds, is this just a realm thing or a general thing? Made a script for my realm and it takes a while before people can move after teleporting

[shy leaf]

oh

thats cuz stuff inside

` `

is stringified

[chrome flint]

its because the chunk isn't loaded yet

[shy leaf]

whatcha trying though

[near siren]

Anyway to make the chunk load faster?

[shy leaf]

your device

[grave thistle]

So the translation keys should be wrapped in " " and not ` `?

[shy leaf]

im honestly not sure

and on top of that, i dunno what concat is

can you tell me about it

[grave thistle]

.concat() is just a simpler was of adding strings without using +

[shy leaf]

i think the game is seeing the strings as whole

except for ${} part

[grave thistle]

So msgVar.concat("string1", "string2") would add the string in the msgVar variable, string1 and string2 together

[subtle cove]

translate each seeker wand

[chrome flint]

uhm.. i think you can't concat on a translate string without the string being translated yet

[grave thistle]

Oh, so concat each { translate: "example" }

Instead of all together

[shy leaf]

sounds like a big fat line is coming right up

[chrome flint]

idk if % templates still works for translate strings

[subtle cove]

{rawtext:[{translate:'wand.e'},{translate:'wand.g'}]}

[chrome flint]

add "text" in between for spaces

[grave thistle]

Would ${} still be able to be inserted?

Between each translate key brackets

[chrome flint]

let rawmessage = {
  rawtext:[
    {translate:'seeker_wand.scan_message_1'},
    {text: ' '},
    {translate:'seeker_wand.scan_1'},
    {text: ' ${i} '},
    {translate:'seeker_wand.scan_message_2'},
    {text: ' ${bSide}!'},
  ]
}

entity.sendMessage(rawmessage);

@grave thistle

[grave thistle]

I'll give that a go and let you know if it works

[mellow socket]

Is there a way to give a custom model to the Agent in EE?
or make a custom agent? (as in like a new entity)

[near siren]

Will see it in the morning, but having trouble writing a promise that waits for a player to load in and return them.

[wary edge]

Thats not a scripting questiom. Seems like a #1067869590400544869 question

[remote oyster]

That's common and to be expected.

[remote oyster]

This code is untested and based on the assumption that teleporting a player triggers the playerSpawn event. If this assumption holds true, you can listen to the playerSpawn event before teleporting the player. After teleportation, you can verify in the event handler whether the spawned player matches the one being teleported. If they are a match, you can resolve the promise and proceed with other actions.

import { world, Player, Dimension, Vector3, PlayerSpawnAfterEvent } from "@minecraft/server";

/**
 * Teleports a player and returns a promise that resolves when the player has fully loaded.
 * @param player - The player to teleport.
 * @param location - The destination coordinates.
 * @param dimension - The dimension to teleport the player to (optional).
 * @returns A promise that resolves when the player has fully loaded.
 */
function teleportPlayer(player: Player, location: Vector3, dimension?: Dimension): Promise<void> {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        try {
            // Subscribe to the playerSpawn event before teleporting
            const playerSpawnSubscription = world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event: PlayerSpawnAfterEvent) => {
                if (event.player.name === player.name) {
                    // Unsubscribe from the event after the player has spawned
                    world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.unsubscribe(playerSpawnSubscription);
                    resolve();
                }
            });

            // Teleport the player
            player.teleport(location, dimension);
        } catch (error) {
            reject(error);
        }
    });
}

// Usage
const player = world.getPlayers()[0];
const location = { x: 100, y: 20, z: 100 };

teleportPlayer(player, location)
    .then(() => {
        console.log("Player has fully loaded after teleporting.");
        // Proceed with further actions
    })
    .catch((error) => {
        console.error("Failed to teleport player:", error);
    });

This is only a theory to experiment with. If it works then you have a potential solution. If not, then it's back to the drawing board.

I may also add, you can check player.isValid(), and if it returns false, call your function to loop back until it returns true. Once true, you know you should be safe to execute code off the player as needed.

Is the load from spawning in from a join or from a portal?

if from a spawn in, use world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe and put the thing you want to do in a system.runTimeout after 40 ticks.

It worked, thanks 👍

unless he decoupled all the modules into separate files to make it like you're in java

// Define the rotation angles for the swinging animation
const swingAngles = [0, 30, 60, 90, 60, 30, 0];

// Function to perform the swinging animation
function performSwingAnimation(entity) {
    let swingIndex = 0;

    const swingInterval = setInterval(() => {
        // Rotate the entity's arm or any other part based on the swingAngles array
        // In this example, we are rotating the entity's yaw (horizontal rotation)
        entity.yaw = swingAngles[swingIndex];

        // Increase the swing index for the next angle in the array
        swingIndex++;

        // If the end of the swingAngles array is reached, clear the interval to stop the animation
        if (swingIndex >= swingAngles.length) {
            clearInterval(swingInterval);
        }
    }, 100); // Adjust the interval duration to control the speed of the animation
}

// Call the performSwingAnimation function when you want to trigger the swinging animation
// For example, when a player swings a sword or attacks
performSwingAnimation(playerEntity); // Pass the entity object that you want to animate

I made something that makes the player constantly swing 😔🙏

i think you couldve

used for loop
