Script API General

[spring dove]

havent touched script api in 2 weeks, there's any news?

[merry ibex]

Why doesn't this work?

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

// Notify that scripts have been reloaded
world.sendMessage("§l§aqqq");

// Listen for chat messages
world.events.chatSend.subscribe((eventData) => {
const message = eventData.message;
const player = eventData.sender;

// Check if the message is the custom command
if (message == "!help") {
    // Send a help message to the player
    player.sendMessage("§l§a¡aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
}

});

[valid ice]

events property on world does not exist

[north rapids]

How do I get the player's hp? Max Hp and damage?

[north rapids]

Nvmd

[flat barn]

does this event not work anymore?

[chilly moth]

potions got new components

[north rapids]

Is it possible to test by player hunger?

[shy leaf]

sadly no

[shy leaf]

its unusable, the potion effect types are hidden for whatever reason

though you can guess some of those but some are just unknowable

[chilly moth]

ok

[distant tulip]

what dose that mean

[shy leaf]

like you need to do "Leaping" or "FireResistance" instead of "jump_boost" or "fire_resistance"

and they didnt even put the list of it in docs

[distant tulip]

there is not enum for those?

[shy leaf]

i dunno

[granite badger]

It’s in vanilla-data

[shy leaf]

i dunno why they didnt even mention that

it was really inconvenient

[granite badger]

well it’s beta so they may change it…? took a while for me to figure out too

[distant tulip]

MinecraftPotionModifierTypes
MinecraftPotionEffectTypes
MinecraftPotionLiquidTypes

[shy leaf]

oml theres no regeneration enum 💀

[distant tulip]

"Healing"?

[shy leaf]

isnt that instant health

[distant tulip]

idk
there is also health boost

[viscid horizon]

This scripting sure likes to get on my nerves

And so do my parents

I had a function containing the thing that needs to activate the said function

damn I’m dumb

Doesn’t help I deconstructed the whole thing trying to find the whole problem

All it took was 1 ‘}’

[amber granite]

The interpreter will notify you about the syntax errors with Syntax error message

[viscid horizon]

I already fixed it but damn did I feel stupid

[amber granite]

Idk

But u should use vscode

For that

[distant tulip]

bridge should have syntax errors

[cold grove]

Do not use bridge for scripting

[jaunty leaf]

vsc on top

[distant gulch]

VsCode top!

[fallow minnow]

@granite badger do you have any idea why this happens when i use the new typings?

It's neveer happened before

[granite badger]

happens when using server beta and server-ui stable yeah?

[distant gulch]

invalid npm downloads?

[fallow minnow]

yes

npm i @minecraft/[email protected]

this one

Could it be because im using ESNext

[slow walrus]

nah

[granite badger]

{
  "overrides": {
    "@minecraft/server": "beta"
  }
}

You need to add the override key, and set beta to whatever version you’re using.

[slow walrus]

in ur package.json add this

"overrides": {
    "@minecraft/server-ui": {
      "@minecraft/server": "$@minecraft/server"
    },
    "@minecraft/server-net": {
      "@minecraft/server": "$@minecraft/server"
    },
    "@minecraft/server-gametest": {
      "@minecraft/server": "$@minecraft/server"
    }
  }

[fallow minnow]

i don't have a package json

the typings are global

they dont go on my packs

[slow walrus]

that's silly

don't use global typings

[fallow minnow]

any way to access the global package json?

[slow walrus]

no

don't use global typings

[fallow minnow]

idk how not to 😭

it just does it for me

[slow walrus]

just npm install without global??

[fallow minnow]

i never have global

[slow walrus]

you gotta specify the -g thing to do global

[fallow minnow]

i just npm i

[granite badger]

npm init -y to setup package.json first in your addon directory

[fallow minnow]

alright i have that

[granite badger]

reinstall every mc package you need

[fallow minnow]

any way to uninstall the global ones?

i got it

[slow walrus]

https://docs.npmjs.com/uninstalling-packages-and-dependencies#uninstalling-global-packages

[shy leaf]

why does this remind me of everything package

[fallow minnow]

me when npm uninstall all

[devout hazel]

has anyone tried creating a perlin noise height map in scripting? would it be possible to use it for custom generation?

[distant tulip]

con master have one i believe

[sudden nest]

https://github.com/conmaster2112/procedular-world-gen-script-api

[buoyant canopy]

that's crazy 🤣

[distant tulip]

yeah

[shut citrus]

Mojang pls don't remove entity.target !

[distant tulip]

Mojang pls make it not read only

[vivid frost]

I am wondering whether anyone here would have information about when the @minecraft/server-net API will leave the beta phase and become standard? I have several fun applications for it that I want to try developing, but I don't want to build stuff and learn down the road that the API was removed or that it changed, etc. Thanks for you help! 🙂

[remote oyster]

Expect the API to experience changes, whether the changes are subtle or frequent. That is normal with any given API.

[vivid frost]

Thanks for your reply. 🙂

Yes, of course. But I am wondering whether there is known release date for the stable version (i.e., a release that does not require the use of the "beta APIs" flag)

[remote oyster]

None at the moment.

Considering that it's still on (1.0.0) since it's debut, it may be a while.

[vivid frost]

I understand. Thanks for the info.

Do you know if that API is popular among developers? In other words, do people appear to be using it a lot for new types of applications?

I am new to Bedrock development and I am just trying to understand towards what my "experimentation efforts" would be best directed. Obviously, I personally find that API to be pretty interesting because it allows a lot of use cases, but I'm curious to know what other people think about it.

[granite badger]

keep in mind that server-net module is locked behind bedrock server only

[remote oyster]

They released it roughly 2 years ago. Not many use it, because the majority choose Realms over BDS due to "player base". Meaning that they feel it's easier for people to join their Realm on different platforms than a regular server.

Some people do use it, because they realize the potential it has, and think outside the box. However, I believe since it's been out for a couple of years now, it's probably only been within the last 3-4 months that it has begun to pick up popularity.

[vivid frost]

Yes, that's true. That probably means that it will be less popular than APIs that can be used everywhere. In other words, the "market" for it might not be as large as for other APIs since it will mostly appeal to server admins.

[cold grove]

I have work with server-net in the past, i used it to comunicate with a discord bot using an rest API i built

Player report system and some rank things

[vivid frost]

I think that is one of the most interesting use cases for it. It's definitely something I want to try do myself. Another interesting use case is notifications for various "player events".

[unique dragon]

wondering @minecraft/server-gametest can make simulated players using a custom skin, like choosing a random player of the world, and then set the skin to the simulated player

[vivid frost]

Thanks for your feedback!

[cold grove]

I have some things that i can share, maybe i will upldoad them to scripting-resources

[shy leaf]

i think i did saw a post about simulated player before

[unique dragon]

maybe bdsx

[vivid frost]

That is the one API I haven't tried yet. It's on my to-do list though. 🙂

[unique dragon]

😉

[hazy nebula]

Is there any way to close the ActionForm without response from the player

[hazy nebula]

How do you do that?

[cold grove]

Yes** sorry

You can

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

[hazy nebula]

does it work in 1.12.0-beta?

[cold grove]

Its server-ui module.

[cold grove]

Its Beta

[celest fable]

how to make like auto coloring text for certain number?

something like this

const colors = {
    0: "§f",
    5: "§7",
    10: "§8",
    15: "§e",
    20: "§6",
    30: "§b",
    40: "§d",
    50: "§5",
    60: "§a",
    70: "§2",
    80: "§c",
    90: "§9",
    100: "§1",
    120: "§4",
    140: "§3",
    160: "§0",
    180: "§l§f",
    200: "§l§7",
    220: "§l§8",
    240: "§l§e",
    260: "§l§6",
    280: "§l§b",
    300: "§l§d",

    400: "§l§2",
    450: "§l§c",
    500: "§l§9",
    550: "§l§1",
    600: "§l§4",
    750: "§l§3",
    800: "§l§0",
    850: "§o§f",
    900: "§o§7",
    950: "§o§8",
    1000: "§o§e",
    1050: "§o§6",
    1125: "§o§b",
    1200: "§o§d",
    1275: "§o§5",
    1350: "§o§a",

    1800: "§o§4",
    1900: "§o§3",
    2000: "§o§0"
  }

but its automatic selecting the color from color list

[hazy nebula]

Can't use it?

[cold grove]

I checked and you need to udate your MC

1.4.0-beta

I dont see any reason to not update your game 👀

[hazy nebula]

version 1.21.20 right?

[remote oyster]

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

const colors = {
    0: "§f", 5: "§7", 10: "§8", 15: "§e", 20: "§6", 30: "§b", 40: "§d",
    50: "§5", 60: "§a", 70: "§2", 80: "§c", 90: "§9", 100: "§1", 120: "§4",
    140: "§3", 160: "§0", 180: "§l§f", 200: "§l§7", 220: "§l§8", 240: "§l§e",

};

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((event) => {
    const player = event.sender;
    let message = event.message;
    
    // Example condition: color based on message length
    let length = message.length;

    // Find the appropriate color based on the message length
    let closestColorKey = Object.keys(colors).reverse().find(key => length >= parseInt(key));
    
    if (closestColorKey) {
        const colorCode = colors[closestColorKey];
        event.message = `${colorCode}${message}§r`;
    }
});

[random flint]

You don't do new UIManager(), just import { uiManager } from "@minecraft/server-ui"

[wary edge]

Its not useable

[keen nymph]

i'm trying to make the 2d item texture not render using attachables, but i've added the file and it doesnt do anything. no content log, no nothing. i even tried just copypasting like the bow or something and it doesnt render the bow nor does it stop rendering the 2d item texture...

[wary edge]

#1019692489596215388 message

[wary edge]

Thats a #1067869136606220288 or #1067869590400544869

[keen nymph]

kk

[hazy nebula]

[Scripting][error]-Unhandled promise rejection: ReferenceError: No constructor for native class 'UIManager'.```

What is needed for it to work?

[honest spear]

import uiManager from module as instance

give me sec

yes

[buoyant canopy]

i have a question
i have this module/script that i import data from, there is the categories constant which contains raw data, and 2 functions that process them into the achievements constant,
now does the flat_category function run everytime i import achievements, or does it only run once when the script is validated?

[hazy nebula]

Can you provide more details, how to use it?

[honest spear]

there is method closeAllForms wnad first param is player

[honest spear]

basicly import uiManager from server-ui module

[hazy nebula]

like that?

[valid ice]

the ts part isn't needed

[honest spear]

huh

import it not export it

[valid ice]

can just do import {uiManager} from '@minecraft/server-ui'

[honest spear]

yes

[valid ice]

and then uiManager.closeAllForms(player)

[honest spear]

we to pin some tutorials here

[valid ice]

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-as-that-clash-royale-hee-hee-hee-haw-gif-25054781

[valid ice]

I mean https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/gametest-form.html

[honest spear]

I mean General JS

like how to import

and what object is

[valid ice]

Expanding on the wiki would be good, and getting a stable version of the API on the wiki would be exellent (so people using it don't have stuff break)

[honest spear]

also diference between parameter and argument

[honest spear]

real, i am really busy last bunch of weeks but i think i should contribute on wiki again

[valid ice]

I may look into expanding script wiki today

[honest spear]

today?

nice

let me know about your plans

[valid ice]

I got spare time

[honest spear]

i am on vacation so i dont have much resources to work with, but i may do something

[viral plaza]

Is player.velocity a valid method?

[valid ice]

I can add you to my fork of the wiki

[hazy nebula]

function spawn(player) {
    const playersInUI = new Set();
    const chestui = new ChestFormData(27);
    chestui.title('§l§d      Event Crates');
    for (let i = 0; i <= 11; i++) {
        chestui.button(i, '', [''], 'minecraft:gray_stained_glass_pane', false);
    }
    for (let i = 15; i <= 26; i++) {
        chestui.button(i, '', [''], 'minecraft:gray_stained_glass_pane', false);
    }
    chestui.show(player).then(response => {
        uiManager.closeAllForms(player)
        return;
    });
}```When I open the form, it doesn't close that form. What is the issue I am facing?

[valid ice]

The response only triggers when the player chooses an option

Not when the form opens

[honest spear]

Ok why not

[honest spear]

its not, you have to call it like this entity.getVelocity()

[viral plaza]

Thank you!

[true isle]

Please do a section explaining how to properly update to the newest format version. Numbers are not my friend.

[distant gulch]

Hello everyone, please tell me how to load a lot of structures quickly. I have 4 64x64 structures and when loading them, the game lags a lot on a powerful computer

[honest spear]

Well there are no properway to load them then just loading them, you can try using animations but it takes more time to load it but it may reduce lag spikes

[fallow rivet]

How do I test which slot a player's item is in?

[distant tulip]

every time you call it
when you import it it is just like you declare it

[distant tulip]

"player's item"?

[fallow rivet]

The items in hand

Translation is sometimes wrong

[distant tulip]

player.selectedSlotIndex

[fallow rivet]

Has ChatSend been removed?

[remote oyster]

No, only Beta.

[fallow rivet]

I don't remember how to delete the message the player wrote

[remote oyster]

You mean to cancel the event so it doesn't broadcast?

[fallow rivet]

event.cancel = true

I think this is it

[remote oyster]

Yes, for the beforeEvent.

[fallow rivet]

Ok

const encid = enchantments.map((ench) => {
        return {level: ench.level, type: ench.type}
    });

Fixed

[unique dragon]

that's in beta?

[valid ice]

ye

[unique dragon]

interesting

[fallow rivet]

How do I add a name to an item using additem?

[fallow rivet]

What does this do?

[valid ice]

closes all forms

[spare fox]

does interval_range even have an effect to onTick?

[wary edge]

Yes

[spare fox]

what about looping?

[wary edge]

Yes

[fiery solar]

"@minecraft/server-net" is incredibly powerful if you think outside the box since it lets to interface with whatever you want.

You can use it to do some wild things.

that is not the source of the error

[iron jewel]

tf you mean 💀

I mean

[cinder shadow]

Did you read the error?

[iron jewel]

indeed

[cinder shadow]

what does it mean to you

[iron jewel]

well I dunno but I can tell ya that

       {
            "module_name": "@minecraft/server",
            "version": "1.14.0-beta"
        },

            "module_name": "@minecraft/server-ui",
            "version": "2.0.0-alpha"
        }```
doesn't work any more than anything else

[cinder shadow]

You are referencing a module that doesn't exist

and then it lists out the versions that do exist

[iron jewel]

I've tried several things and that did not infact work

[cinder shadow]

That's because that's not the only problem

That's just one of them

[iron jewel]

,_ ,

[distant tulip]

you are using the developer behavior pack folder?

[iron jewel]

yeah

[cinder shadow]

does 2.0.0-alpha even have anything in it?

[iron jewel]

I have no idea

[spring dove]

my addon doesnt work on the new update:(

what could be

[distant tulip]

check in a new world with 1.2.0

[iron jewel]

scroll up

[iron jewel]

like create new world with the addon?

[distant tulip]

what dose the log say

[distant tulip]

yeah

unless the pic you sent was not for the code you sent

[cinder shadow]

I don't think there's anything 2.0.0-alpha

[spring dove]

what

some beta feature changed?

[distant tulip]

read

[spring dove]

alright

[iron jewel]

this is the current dependencies section (which does not infact work)

    "dependencies": [
        {
            "uuid": "0e6331ef-fd94-4a88-8eda-5e1264e197f5",
            "version": [
                1,
                0,
                26
            ]
        },
        {
            "module_name": "@minecraft/server",
            "version": "1.14.0-beta"
        },
        {
            "module_name": "@minecraft/server-ui",
            "version": "1.3.0-beta"
        }
    ]```

so

[cinder shadow]

Okay, well use that in your manifest

then send screenshots of the errors

the invalid module ones will be gone

[spring dove]

1.14.0-beta

right?

[glacial widget]

function addMoney(player){
    const moneyObj = world.scoreboard.getObjective("Money")

      new ModalFormData()
        .title("Send player")
        .textField("Amount, Has to be atleast 1k", "Enter amount of money")
        .show(player).then(d => {
          const moneyAmount = d.formValues[0];
          if (moneyAmount){
            moneyObj.addScore(player, `${moneyAmount}`)
            player.sendMessage(`HCV KitPvP >> ${player.name} has sent you ${moneyAmount}`)
          }
    });
}

[spring dove]

i just changed it

[glacial widget]

could someone help me with this

[iron jewel]

I......did

[distant tulip]

that will work if none of the stuff you are using got changed

[glacial widget]

just update the manfiest

[distant tulip]

there is?
addScore receive number

[cinder shadow]

If you're getting those errors, you are not using the development folders

or you switched the versions back

[thorn flicker]

[distant tulip]

Number(moneyAmount)

or
0+moneyAmount

[iron jewel]

erm actually 🤓

[glacial widget]

W

it worked thanks man

[cinder shadow]

stop switching the module versions back to the incorrect ones then, the errors you are getting in content log are specifically mentioning the wrong ones you had, not the correct ones

[distant tulip]

you can still have one in the other folder

[iron jewel]

wdym? This BP does not exist in the main folder

[spring dove]

thank you so much, im going to try that

[glacial widget]

u gotta import the file

into the main js

[distant tulip]

the error don't make any sense
did you make a new world?

[iron jewel]

I did

[iron jewel]

idk man
C:\Users\redacted\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\development_behavior_packs\RPG BP

[distant tulip]

nice chat

[iron jewel]

ikr 🔥

[distant tulip]

that is not the file the game throwing error for

[cold grove]

[iron jewel]

it's throwing errors for RPG BP and WorldEdit

cuz like

[distant tulip]

you have something going on there
1.2.0-beta is not the version you are showing us
that mean there is a file somewhere that use that

backup your pack and delete it in game

[iron jewel]

I would perfer not to do that but like

[iron jewel]

erm

    "dependencies": [
        {
            "uuid": "0e6331ef-fd94-4a88-8eda-5e1264e197f5",

        },
        {
            "module_name": "@minecraft/server-ui",
            "version": "1.3.0-beta"
        }
    ]```

was correct

[distant tulip]

🤷‍♂️

[random flint]

Blind moment.

you're using 1.2.0-beta - @minecraft/server-ui. Error stated that module doesn't exist. The latest beta module in your list says 1.3.0-beta, use that instead.

For @minecraft/server you're using 1.12.0-beta which doesn't exist.

Use your eyes and look down on that list, and you'll find that 1.14.0-beta is the latest beta module

[random flint]

Another Note: You cannot mix stable module with the beta one. If you're gonna use the -beta, you need for both to be -beta

[distant tulip]

that is not true

i use both

[random flint]

Sometimes, the versions conflict with each other. Requesting a different version.

Good to know there's some exception.

[north rapids]

How can I break a block? Is it only possible using commands?

Ty

[pale terrace]

I added custom components to my onPlayerDestroy and onPlace block and it happens that when interacting with the block it makes the swing animation, is that normal?

[shy leaf]

not normal but unavoidable

[pale terrace]

I guess it's a bug to be resolved

[somber echo]

Help i dont understand what is the problem, can someone help me with this?

[viral plaza]

How can I do http requests in script api?

[shy leaf]

i heard you need server-net module

[fiery solar]

You need to use @server/net, which is only available on Bedrock Dedicated Server

[viral plaza]

That’s fine

Thanks

[pale terrace]

getTags from a block cant get a custom tag?

[subtle cove]

can...

how did u set it up?

[pale terrace]

like this in json

"tag:namespace:tag": {}```
and like this in scripts
```js
const tag = block?.permutation.getTags()[0];```

its returning undefined

[subtle cove]

but minecraft: works, right?

[pale terrace]

aah, it was my mistake, I was trying to get the tag of a destroyed block xd

im super confused as to why my pack wont load. i changed everything to the latest beta and my pack dissapears i changed it back to what it was befor the update and the scripts dont load lol

[cold shoal]

Do dynamic properties actually resets when re-adding an addon? Doesn't happen for me when testing

[shy leaf]

no

it stores in the target

[cold shoal]

alr, thanks!

[fallow minnow]

they only reset when the UUID is changed

[crude bridge]

it can't be used

[north rapids]

How do I disable the target's shield when attacking?

[glacial widget]

is there anywhere to cancel a players hits?

[distant tulip]

player json file

[distant tulip]

item.getComponent("cooldown").startCooldown(player)

[north rapids]

But how do I get the target when attacking?

Apparently hitting the shield does not count as a trigger for onHitEntity or onDurabilityDamage.

[distant tulip]

hit entity

you mean before the attack?

[north rapids]

CustomComponents so, yeah

[distant tulip]

get entity from view

you can also just subscribe to hit event and apply your own damage

[north rapids]

Ok, I'll see

How to add a temp property to a player? ( I know it does not stay when they leave)

[valid ice]

player.tempProperty = whatever

[neat hound]

ah I went in too deep

[valid ice]

It does stay when they leave-- just if the world gets closed then they are reset.

So singleplayer? Reset
Last one to leave a realm? Reset
BDS? Not reset, unless /reload or world restarts

[neat hound]

the one bit of information I need when a block is placed is only in playerInteractWithBlock types (faceLocation)... I am trying to get where on the block face was clicked.... so I need to save it from use it in custom component

for beforeOnPlayerPlace.. so I can do simpler permutaions

[valid ice]

Regarding this-- most people do something to separate them from available properties, like adding two underscores in front of the property name player._tempProperty

[neat hound]

I am putting an object in a var called f3... LOL... where I can store current info)

[valid ice]

excellent

[prisma shard]

hi

[slim spear]

hi

[remote oyster]

What creative ways do any of you have for looking at a projectile arrow and determining the effects it may contain?

Curious to see if anyone came up with any quirky solutions since the API is limited in this area.

[prisma shard]

getEntityFromViewDirection(), check if its a arrow, get the projectile component, maybe there is a getEffects method

idk what did i just said

[neat hound]

Hey , just realized beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock has faceLocation but blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent beforeOnPlayerPlace DOES NOTwhich makes me have to use a work around of saving the information via dynamic props or to the player.f3 object I made using beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock to get it saved (but for all blocks).

Oversight? Requestable to mojang to add? Do I just use the old way instead of the custom component?

If they had just added a dang horizontal_half when they did vertical_half.. I'd be set for the permutations I need... this information makes life easier to do stuff based on where clicked on block.

Where do we suggest for script api stuff anyway? Anyone?

[remote oyster]

Their GitHub has a feedback button I believe.

I would need to look really quick.

I can't find the information on it 😔. Which is odd

[neat hound]

LOL... I thought maybe you got distracted...

not sure what to do, this affects how I JSON the block. I can ditch their states and use mine or do a hybrid to permutate the rotation of the block.... but changing state names or adding/deleting on a block in play breaks previous blocks.... I think.... I better fact check that.

[remote oyster]

I'm just baffled that I can't find the source to link you.

[distant tulip]

do you have a way and you are looking for another? or are you asking for a way to do so?

[remote oyster]

Looking for a way. To give a brief summary, I'm handling projectiles. Won't go into much detail on what I'm doing exactly because it's too much and most of that information isn't relevant. With that said, I check if the projectile is an arrow. From here I need to know if the arrow is a tipped arrow. Meaning that I need to know if it's an arrow which causes effects on its targets, like poison.

I was discussing it with someone else just recently and we think that this isn't accessible from an arrow outside of it being an item type. Which means it would be very restrictive.

[distant tulip]

there is only "work around"
duplicate it and make it hit an entity

[remote oyster]

Can't clone it. It's an entity.

[distant tulip]

structure

[remote oyster]

Not following. I'm talking about an arrow that is being projectiled through the air.

[distant tulip]

get the arrow location
save it using structureManager API
summon a dummy entity somewhere
place the structure there
get the entity effects

[remote oyster]

Oh, nah, can't do that. Way too expensive.

[distant tulip]

dose tipped arrows have effects?

[remote oyster]

Potion effects.

[distant tulip]

getEffects don't work?

[remote oyster]

Returns []. It's empty.

[distant tulip]

not sure
even the entity JSON don't have anything related to tipped arrow
https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/main/behavior_pack/entities/arrow.json

[remote oyster]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tipped_Arrow#ID

Data values

[distant tulip]

those are for the item
the entity is different
it is nbt data under mobEffects list
can't do anything about both in script api anyway

[remote oyster]

Yea I'm aware. I mentioned it earlier 😀

[serene radish]

😀

[tawny peak]

how do i set an actionbar text

thx

it says it's "not a function"

[distant tulip]

the code he sent is correct

nvm

setActionBar

uppercase bar

most javaScript functions are like that

[tawny peak]

alright

[distant tulip]

yeah, in game names should be the same

[thorn flicker]

well all commands are in lowercase anyway.

[pliant tiger]

Who have a code that when the player looks at the entity it stop moving but when he is looking away it moves and attacks him

means freeing the entity while looking at it, but when u look around it will start chasing the player just like the horror addon thing

[distant tulip]

that should be implemented mostly without script api

[pliant tiger]

Can you make it for me plss

And send it in dm

If anyone can

[distant tulip]

no sorry

[pliant tiger]

مسلم؟

@distant tulip

[distant tulip]

yep

[pliant tiger]

Cool me too

My name is Ahmed

From 🇸🇦

[distant tulip]

that is great
nice to meet you

You to

You cant make the code right

[distant tulip]

it is too much work for just helping someone

[pliant tiger]

Plss man we are brothers in islam

Just try

I searched alot

[distant tulip]

make the entity and i will help you with the script part

[pliant tiger]

I have it

The model

[distant tulip]

i meant the behavior

[shut citrus]

Is typescript and js same?

[amber granite]

Yes

Type script is just typed js

[distant tulip]

yes but no

typeScript extends JavaScript by adding types to it

[celest fable]

why is this structure of code looks different than the other?

var Something
(function (Something) {
  export function other() {}
  Something.other = other
})(Something || Something = {})

[amber granite]

?

Idk if exporting function inside a function is possible

But it s not

• the last () is made for passing arguments

[amber granite]

But it s made for making modules

[fallen hearth]

why doesn't this work?

  initEvent.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('blc:on_use', {
    onUse: ev => {
      const player = ev.source;
      const ItemStack = ev.itemStack;
      if (ItemStack.typeId === 'blc:shunpo') {
        source.runCommand('summon cow');
      }
  }});

[amber granite]

Excuse us ? What ?

[fallen hearth]

item is 1.21.10?

[amber granite]

item ?

U mean onUse ?

[fallen hearth]

I got the item version wrong, I just saw it

[amber granite]

What the error?

[fallen hearth]

no has XD

item version

[amber granite]

Ok

[fallen hearth]

thankys

[amber granite]

Thanks for what XD ?

I didn't even do a thing

[fallen hearth]

you try to help

[amber granite]

disable content log file and delete the old ones
they take a lot of storage

my log folder was like 5 Gb

[pale terrace]

true

someone use that files actually?

[unique dragon]

ik, but sometimes when i have too large logs, i can check better

[distant tulip]

some times
the log gui have a limit and don't display all the log from the start

[unique dragon]

[pale terrace]

the idea is to resolve errors, not let them accumulate xD

[distant tulip]

script warnings (printing debug info)

[pale terrace]

I use sendMessage to debug

[distant tulip]

chat gui is limited too

and you can't copy

[pale terrace]

Yes, but I usually test values or some strings

[pale terrace]

why would I need to copy it?

[distant tulip]

depend
maybe you need an exact value from the game
or yo formatted an object and want to copy it for other uses

[pale terrace]

Ah, that could be useful for databases for example, but I'm not usually in those situations.

I prefer to keep the debug and the error console separate, otherwise I get confused sometimes

[distant tulip]

yeah
i use chat too some times
tbh i hate the log covering my screen

[pale terrace]

same

[misty pivot]

if i just import a file like

import "./myFile";```
does it also import stuffs that are export? like
```js
export function myFunction()```

[slim spear]

You'd need to import the function separately to use it in the file that you are importing "./myfile" in

I believe

import {myFunction} from "./myFile"

[distant tulip]

importing a file just make the code inside it run

[slim spear]

Another thing

[slim spear]

If you're wanting to import everything from one file to use in another file, I believe you can just do this

import * as blah from "./myFile"
blah.myFunction()

[distant tulip]

only exported stuff
that is the same as
import {x,y,z} from "./myFile"
the only different is that you import as an object
import * as var from "./myFile"
here the value of var is {x,y,z +anything else you exported}

[slim spear]

I forgot to put if they didn't want to manually add each thing in the {}

    function2()
    function3()
}

function myRootFunction() {
    functionSet()
}```

and it didn't seem to run

for context, im doing this because i wanna group up functions to be able to make some sort of skills system, the "root" function detects whether a specific condition is met which then runs the "set" function/group of functions

[remote oyster]

It will call each of those functions, unless a function before it returns, causing the next one to not execute.

[misty pivot]

i forgot, let's say functions 1 to 3 is from a different file and just imported

can it still run those?

[remote oyster]

Calling a function from another file will require that function to be exported and imported.

[misty pivot]

yep did that, im not sure what's the problem now

[remote oyster]

Will still run of course.

[remote oyster]

The only problem with this setup is that you do not explicitly call function1, function2, and function3 in this example, so based on this example those three functions would not execute unless explicitly called.

Wait, nevermind. I looked at your syntax wrong.

You are in fact calling

[misty pivot]

updated it so the functions 1 to 3 are now called

[distant tulip]

return in functions don't do that

[remote oyster]

It does if there's an error

[distant tulip]

that not a return

throw

[misty pivot]

maybe the problem is not the functions, lemme test something

[remote oyster]

As much as I wanted to change that earlier I decided to leave it be. Wasn't concerned lol.

[misty pivot]

ah, so the functions are fine

the if statement doesn't run tho

i cant explain it well but lemme make an example

scripts/differentFile.js

function function1(name) {
    if (name == "bob") {
        ...
    }
}```
main.js
```js
function compiledFunctions(name) {
    function1(name)
    function2(name)
    ...
}

function rootFunction(name) {
    compiledFunctions(name)
}```

i have something similar to this but the if statement of function1 doesn't run idk why tho

there doesn't seem to be an error aswell

[remote oyster]

I don't know what you are passing to function1 but I would suggest using === versus == for strict type checking. You can do a quick Google search to determine the benefits of that.

Best I can say is to print the variable name in function1 to verify if it's what you are trying to conditionally check against.

[misty pivot]

alright i'll check the values being passed through

ah i see, thanks for suggesting me to check the values, it turns out im off by one object in an array

[distant tulip]

when this happen 🤡

[static nebula]

Could someone help me? I'm making a script that if the player looks 100% up or down he gets a boost, But any other angle it gains boost forward or sideways.

[honest spear]

Well entity in theory never can look up or down 100%

also please explain it in more details what you want to achieve

[static nebula]

Like the 100% I'm talking about is the maximum that the entity can look up or down to

[honest spear]

👍

just display the viewVector and save its Y values then just compare

[static nebula]

I did this but it always gives a different value so I got confused.

[honest spear]

check only for Y value and you can also add check for range to be less specific

for example 99.9% should be OK

[subtle cove]

sytem.runInterval(() => {
    for (const p of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        console.warn(p.getHeadRotation().y)
    } 
})

Was it headrot, idk correct me if im wrong

[static nebula]

Let me try that

[static nebula]

I'll try this too, thks

This worked, thank you very much

I just have one more question, how do I do it now so that when the player is looking at any other direction it gains boost in a specific direction?

[distant tulip]

player.applyKnockback()

[static nebula]

Ohh, Let me try

[shy leaf]

holy fuck, block with custom components are a real headache

[amber granite]

Prefer using events over that

[shy leaf]

cant

i need onTick too

[valid ice]

Custom components offer a good variety of features

You could use world events, but, eh

[amber granite]

Idk but events are more easier and no need to fix errors 2000 times

And after that u realize it was min-version problem

[valid ice]

At least for the tick custom components, you can’t replicate that using world events

[tiny tartan]

player.dimension.spawnEntity(items.projectile, spawnLoc); why does this gives error
Failed to run function

does entity need to have is_summonable: true

in json

[wary edge]

Yes

[tiny tartan]

Thx

[distant tulip]

you kinda can
but as far as we know custom component is better for performance

[valid ice]

A custom implementation of ticking would be… interesting

[static nebula]

@distant tulip Could you help me with my script? If so can I send you a dm?

[distant tulip]

you can send your question here

[distant tulip]

not really
just saving the block position and using runinterval

[static nebula]

And what kind of guy am I trying to make a pig like a helicopter, Then I did that part of the script when he is looking in a direction other than up or down or It only goes forward, which is what I want when I look in a certain direction. So I wanted you to help me fix this.

[distant tulip]

open a post and share your code

[static nebula]

Ok

[umbral scarab]

Would anyone know how to make an item that can't be broken?

[subtle cove]

items are vanilla, but u can copy it and setItem when it's broken

[summer walrus]

can't we just set the item durability to something crazy high

[shy leaf]

i just crashed my game with custom components

[remote oyster]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event) => {
    const check = event.player.getDynamicProperties("firstJoin") || false;
    if (event.initialSpawn && !check) {
        console.log(`${event.player.name} has joined for the first time. Welcome!`);
        event.player.setDynamicProperties("firstJoin", true);
    }
});

[remote oyster]

So do you want to know if a player has joined the world for the first time or do you want to know if it's the first time the world has been loaded?

[shy leaf]

now i have zero idea why this crashes my game

no logs either

[remote oyster]

Those are the best. Really pushes you to the next level 😂.

[shy leaf]

ikr

god i hate this

[remote oyster]

world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(() => {
    const check = world.getDynamicProperties("firstLoad") || false;
    if (!check) {
        console.log(`First time this world has been loaded!`);
        world.setDynamicProperties("firstLoad", true);
    }
});

[tender ocean]

Why does my friends vscode not show the autocompletion for certain things like entity.getComponent()? it just shows 'isValid', 'entity', 'typeId', while mine show the actual stuff in the component i define

[wary edge]

JS or TS? Stable or Beta?

[tender ocean]

JS Stable

i made him install the latest stable npms

[wary edge]

Because getComponent just returns a component and in beta they have the type maps. Since intellisense doesnt know what child class getComponent is referring to thats why it only shows the default component's properties

[tender ocean]

so i have to make him install the beta ones?

[tender ocean]

works

joe_pray

[iron jewel]

so I was thinking about making some sort of combo system
like you right click and left click the air
and it says like "R-L-L" on the screen
or something
similar to Wynncraft
but there's like no way to detect punching the air

[north rapids]

How do I get the cardinal direction the player is facing?

[wary edge]

You can get the view direction vector

[north rapids]

getViewDirection(), right?

[valid ice]

function cardinal_direction_2d(angle) {
    if (Math.abs(angle) > 112.5) return 2.0; //North
    if (Math.abs(angle) < 67.5) return 3.0; //South
    if (angle < 157.5 && angle > 22.5) return 4.0; //West
    if (angle > -157.5 && angle < -22.5) return 5.0; //East
    return 6.0; //Undefined
};
``` is what I use for 2d placement

[north rapids]

Ty

[chilly moth]

does the block bench default cardinal don't work?

I thought only the pillar state had the issue

[shy leaf]

how do i use getItemStack for blocks

i put it inside component registry but it returns undefined

[iron jewel]

ooo

so

it wouldn't interrupt interactions and stuff

but it would still detect

[fallow rivet]

Where are the records recorded by Dynamicproperty stored?

[north rapids]

function getView(vec,type) {
  const x = Math.round(vec.x);
  const y = Math.round(vec.y);
  const z = Math.round(vec.z);
  switch (type) {
    case "direction":
      if (y !== 0) return "vertical";
      if (z !== 0) return "n/s";
      if (x !== 0) return "e/w";
      break;
    case "cardinal":
      if (y > 0) return "up";
      if (y < 0) return "down";
      if (z < 0) return "north";
      if (z > 0) return "south";
      if (x > 0) return "east";
      if (x < 0) return "west"
      break;
    default: break;
  }
};

I made this function

[tawny peak]

does anyone know how to get/set an scoreboard value for a fake player?

[iron jewel]

yeah it doesn't really work

at least in a way that would be useful

only thing I can think of is replacing it with Shift+Right instead of left clicking

although I gotta make sure you can detect right clicks without holding anything

[fallow rivet]

Well, if there is a block there, can't you rent it?

[spring dove]

its there a key to open content log gui?

[valid ice]

ctrl+h

[spring dove]

ty

[chrome flint]

how do i apply node modules to a specific pack again?

i forgot how to do packages and stuffs

[amber granite]

node js ?

[chrome flint]

yeah

[amber granite]

Are u sure ?

[chrome flint]

idk

these ones

[amber granite]

U can't use node js modules inside the game

[chrome flint]

i know, i just need it for typescript completion for a specific pack

[amber granite]

Oh

[chrome flint]

i have beta api installed globally

but i need one only for stable

[amber granite]

Cd to ur scripts directory

Then
Run command
npm install i guess

Or idk too , sorry

[chrome flint]

yeah i did that but it didn't installed it in the directory where i opened the cmd

[iron jewel]

wha

[chrome flint]

solved it, it just need to have a package.json first by doing "npm init -y" in the directory

[true isle]

how do i exclude a blockstate in a string with other blockstates

[amber granite]

Elaborate

[weary umbra]

what if you stand on tall grass in survival mode?

[lone thistle]

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

export function getPlayerScore(entity, objective) {
    try {
        return world.scoreboard.getObjective(objective).getScore(entity);
    } catch (e) {
        return 0;
    }
}

export function setPlayerScore(entity, objective, score) {
    try {
        const scoreboard = world.scoreboard;
        const obj = scoreboard.getObjective(objective);

        if (typeof entity === 'string') {
            const player = world.getAllPlayers().find(p => p.name === entity);
            if (player) {
                obj.setScore(player.scoreboardIdentity, score);
            } else {
                obj.setScore(entity, score);
            }
        } else {
            obj.setScore(entity.scoreboardIdentity, score);
        }
    } catch (e) {
        console.warn(`Error setting score: ${e}`);
    }
}

[crude bridge]

Chill

Ik

Chilllllllllllll

I don't know I'm tired

For me its 2a.m.

Okay alex

[lone thistle]

Always depends on how you're gonna use the functions

They asked for a way of getting and setting score values for fake players, I sent two functions that can be used globally so how's that "irrelevant" ?

Yeah, that's why typeof entity === 'string' is there

[crude bridge]

I told you to chill

[lone thistle]

Didn't know it looked overcomplicated until you pointed it out, it just catches errors and checks if the returned string is an online player before proceeding

[misty pivot]

i wanna get the entities 2 blocks from the view direction of the player, i used

{x: player.getViewDirection().x*2, y: ..., z: ...}```
but yeah since it's a normalized value (i think) i would say it would be like this `0.4*2` which results in `0.8`, i am aware of local coordinates posted in script-resources but ngl it's a bit complicated for me

basically asking for a dumbed down explanation of getting local coordinates

[spring dove]

why the system.clearRun doesnt work:/

[misty pivot]

try const?

[spring dove]

didnt worked:(

[misty pivot]

oh i see the problem

[spring dove]

what

[misty pivot]

it wouldn't run because the first if statement negates the second one

[spring dove]

mmm so

[misty pivot]

i'll fix it for you dw, but basically make the if (setup==1 && start==0) inside the system.runInterval instead of outside

[spring dove]

Ok

[misty pivot]

let lobbyPlayerManagement = system.runInterval(() => {
    if(setup==1 && start==0){
        let players = world.getAllPlayers()

        for (const player of players) {
            let {x,y,z} = player.location

            if(y<200){
                player.teleport({x:0,y:260,z:0})
            }
        }
    }
    if(setup==1 && start==1){
        system.clearRun(lobbyPlayerManagement)
    }
},20)```

try running it now

[spring dove]

didnt worked

but dont worry i think i have another solution

[misty pivot]

oh yeah i forgot

put setup and start in the interval aswell

might work

[spring dove]

i did this

omg my logic didnt got it for a long time

[spring dove]

anyway ty

[misty pivot]

no problem

[misty pivot]

hold up, im beginning to understand, i'll try figure it out first

[strong oar]

Can I ask if anyone knows or can make a interact on a block when it is clicked by a stick the block will change?

[valid ice]

Is there a file for before events ordering? I know the one for after events exist, but idk if one for before exists.

[spring dove]

men, how do i give players enchanted items, i dont get the item stack working

i tried the script api example but isnt working to me

[valid ice]

Do you have the vanilla-data module in your addon?

[spring dove]

where do i put it?

which place of the manifest

there?

[valid ice]

It's not needed for stuff to function, and it's something that cannot be placed manually in the manifest

[spring dove]

so?

[valid ice]

Must be put in the addon files

[spring dove]

.........

[valid ice]

MinecraftItemTypes -> just use the item type id as a string
MinecraftEnchantmentTypes -> use enchant name as a string

[spring dove]

so i can change it to make it work without changing any file

[valid ice]

import { EnchantmentType, world, ItemStack, Player } from '@minecraft/server';

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((e) =>{
    if(e.itemStack.typeId === "minecraft:stick") return giveFireSword(e.source)
})

function giveFireSword(player) {
    const ironFireSword = new ItemStack('minecraft:diamond_sword', 1);

    const enchantments = ironFireSword?.getComponent('enchantable');
    if (enchantments) {
        enchantments.addEnchantment({ type: new EnchantmentType('fire_aspect'), level: 1 });
    }

    const inventory = player.getComponent('minecraft:inventory');
    if (inventory === undefined || inventory.container === undefined) {
        return;
    }
    inventory.container.setItem(0, ironFireSword);
}

[valid ice]

There's no vanilla data in this here

[spring dove]

i think its no that file then

idk why it keeps throwing that error

i reloaded, verified any file

[valid ice]

are you using dev folders?

[spring dove]

yes

[valid ice]

hmm

[spring dove]

im relogging the whole game even if that doesnt makes sense

wtff i desactivate that JS file and then the other scripts start working

[spring dove]

when the whole error is that file

[valid ice]

import errors throw globally

[spring dove]

im stupid, i was editing a file i send you

• and your code worked, ty so much

[valid ice]

👍

[strong oar]

Anyone?

[prisma shard]

right or left click

?

[prisma shard]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(( { block, itemStack, player } ) => {
  if (itemStack?.typeId === "minecraft:stick") {
    block.setType("minecraft:stone")
  }
});

change "minecraft:stone" with the block typeId that you want

[strong oar]

Like when you tap it

[prisma shard]

@strong oar yeah this ^^ will work when you tap

[prisma shard]

i sent code

[prisma shard]

^

[strong oar]

Ohh okay I'm gonna try huh

*huhu

[strong oar]

Can I implement it on condition right?

[prisma shard]

wat u mean

[turbid delta]

is it possible to equip mobs with equipment in scripts, not players

really want to avoid using structures

[solar dagger]

I believe that as long as the entity has the equipment component you should be good

[misty pivot]

if you mean like if (player.isSneaking) and etc. yes

[strong oar]

How?

[misty pivot]

what conditions do you speak of tho?

what are you planning to do?

[wary edge]

Replaceitem command

[turbid delta]

Doesn't seem to possible to include custom item data, thanks though

[strong oar]

Like when the player interacts with my custom block which is tapped by a stick. The value of my states will change from 0 to 1.

[misty pivot]

oh so you're talking about the states?

[strong oar]

Yeah

[misty pivot]

block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("example:myState", 1))```

add this to the if statement

just change the state name

[strong oar]

Ohhh and then?

[misty pivot]

that's pretty much it, make sure to remove the block setType here or it'll just turn into stone

[strong oar]

Ohh then replace it with your code right?

[misty pivot]

yep

[strong oar]

Last man, I forgot to say what if the states range to 0-6 then every tapped will change the value of the states like:

0-1
1-2
2-3
4-5
5-6
6-0

[valid ice]

% 7

[misty pivot]

let value = block.permutation.getState("example:myState"));
if (value < 6) {
    block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("example:myState", value+1))
} else block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("example:myState", value+1))```

something like this

the else part sets it back to state 0

hope it helps

[strong oar]

Thanks man

[fallow rivet]

Do you have any idea how I can make a claim?

[strong oar]

@misty pivot heres what happened

[misty pivot]

may i see the custom component you made? or at least parts of it

and also the registry, im not sure because i haven't encountered that problem

[strong oar]

ohh okay in here i removed the registry

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(({ block, itemStack, player }) => {
if (itemStack?.typeId === "minecraft:stick") {
let value = block.permutation.getState("goobli:State");
if (value < 16) {
block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("goobli:State", value + 1));
} else {
block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("goobli:State", 0)); // or any reset value you prefer
}
}
});

when i removed the registry, the only error that shows is this

[tiny tartan]

are you on beta?

[strong oar]

preview

[tiny tartan]

i mean beta api

[strong oar]

ohh i use the 1.13.0

[tiny tartan]

i think its still in beta api so it wont work

i would suggest using custom component

[tiny tartan]

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(event => {
    const {blockComponentRegistry} = event;
    blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('your:custom_component', {
        onPlayerInteract: data => {
            const {block,player} = data;
            const mainHand = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Mainhand');
            if (mainHand.typeId == 'minecraft:stick') {
                let value = block.permutation.getState("goobli:State");
                if (value < 16) {
                    block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("goobli:State", value + 1));
                } else {
                    block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("goobli:State", 0)); // or any reset value you prefer
                }
            }
        }
    });
});```

[strong oar]

?

[tiny tartan]

use this instead

[strong oar]

ohh okay im gonna try it

[tiny tartan]

make sure to rename it to your custom component id

[strong oar]

okay thank you

[misty pivot]

damn, mb, i was doin something earlier

[strong oar]

heres what happened huhu

[tiny tartan]

add this component id to your block.json

"minecraft:custom_components": [ "global:change_states" ]"

[strong oar]

Do I need to change something on the main.js?

[tiny tartan]

nah

[strong oar]

it doesnt work, maybe you have sample file

[celest fable]

how to clear player inventory with native method?

[lone thistle]

setItem for specific slots, clearAll for whole inventory

player.getComponent('inventory').container.clearAll();

[grave thistle]

Is there not a method for checking an entity to see if it has a specific component group or behaviour

[fading sand]

Is there any way to check if an different script is active?

Like one from an another addon

[lone thistle]

In the main script of each add-on you have, you can insert an indicator like console.warn, or world.sendMessage, or player.sendMessage, to find out if it's active

[lone thistle]

There is, you can learn more about it here

[sage portal]

can you directly invert an integer variable (i.e. 7 + -example), or do you have to just multiply it by -1?

[shy leaf]

you can directly invert em

well both works

[sage portal]

cool, thanks

[grave thistle]

Already looked. I mean entire component groups not individual components. I'm trying to see if an entity has the timer component but it's not on the available list of .getComponents, so I'm wondering if I can search for component groups instead since the timer component I'm after is in one

[naive tinsel]

is there a max amount of dynamic properties?

[summer walrus]

32767 for string

or if you're asking about another thing, no there's no limit only your device's storage size is the limit

[naive tinsel]

ok

yeah i was referencing the amount of dynamic properties

thx

[fading sand]

I mean, couldnt i also just create an variable and check for that in the other script?

[summer walrus]

what is bro asking?

[fading sand]

Im trying to check if an other script file is active

[summer walrus]

so they are different addons

console.warn is the simplest n most direct

but what are you trying to check?

[fading sand]

I need to check inside the other script too

[fading sand]

Im trying to activate a code when the other addons script isnt there

[distant tulip]

no scripts have different environment

[summer walrus]

why so complicated

whats the idea here

[distant tulip]

make it depend on scoreboard that the other addon add

[summer walrus]

how about you store it with a tag or a score

[fading sand]

Theres an dublicated code

[amber granite]

What is going here ?

[fading sand]

Good idea actually

[fading sand]

👍

[elder heath]

It was not easy to do this for the afk system

[misty pivot]

How do i make a function not make an error when it fails to call
(like for example when i use applyKnockback to an entity that cant be knockbacked/is no longer existing)

[distant tulip]

check if entity.isValid()

[strong oar]

Anyone maybe you have a template for block that changes whenever you tap it

[honest spear]

Well just check the rotation of had if thats not changing thats all

[shy leaf]

try {code} catch {}?

[misty pivot]

lemme try

wait...

is "try" part of your suggestion?

as in

try {...} catch {}```

[distant tulip]

it is

[misty pivot]

ah, alright, thanks

it worked thanks, i believe catch can also be used to use the errors as objects or smth like that?

[distant tulip]

that can fail in a lot of cases
walking in a straight line for example will count as afk
the best thing to do is check the rotation and if it is not changing check for a pattern in the player corrds

[distant tulip]

wdym

also try catch is not the best option in your case

if(entity.isValid()){
  entity.apply...
}

[misty pivot]

hm? why so? also i tried isValid by itself earlier it sent errors to entities it cant apply damage or knockback to

[honest spear]

Well if player is not in water or is not riding that means he is not afk

there is no need for patern

[misty pivot]

im doing so to keep the content log tidy and empty because i get a long list of errors just because some pile of xp orbs was on the ground and it tried damaging/knocking those

[shy leaf]

uh

cant you just exclude by types in entity query options

in that case?

[misty pivot]

yeah i could but that would mean i'd have to list down entities and not only that but it wouldn't work for custom entities that also cannot be damaged/etc.

[shy leaf]

hmmm

what i did here is to first do excludeTypes the stuff needed

and then do try catch

double filter

[misty pivot]

i dont understand why try catch isn't a good option, is there some sort of catch?

if i were to only do try catch, would there be a problem?

[shy leaf]

i honestly havent had any trouble using try catch but

i assume it doesnt look pretty

(and it really isnt but it does its job)

but hey if theres a better option, ill take it

also about .isValid part, im not sure what that really does tbh

[misty pivot]

hm, alright

[naive tinsel]

does setBlockType keep facing rotation?

[misty pivot]

isValid returns true if entity exist or isn't dead

[misty pivot]

nope, i believe no since it returns the default of the block being set

[naive tinsel]

dam ok

[shy leaf]

so basically a thing that returns boolean whether the script can touch the target?

[misty pivot]

yep

[shy leaf]

hmm so its a different version of try catch

(j)

[misty pivot]

also i searched in google as one does, it just says it's bad practice to use try catch since it makes the dev miss critical errors but tbh what's stopping me from just temporarily removing it to debug the said function

[shy leaf]

it would be a bad habit if you just wrapped it up everywhere

but i think applyKnockback and applyImpulse is an exception here

[misty pivot]

of course i wouldn't put it everywhere 😂 i would just put it in stuff that are like ↑↑ yeah

but thanks for some clarification about try catch

[shy leaf]

also if you do want to catch the errors, you can just do

try {
    ....
} catch (e) { console.warn(e) }```

though this doesnt point to line so it can be confusing if the code is large

[shy leaf]

np

[misty pivot]

ahhhh, that's what i was trying to mention earlier, i misremembered it as catch {(e)} lmao

[shy leaf]

i almost lost all of my hair scripting until i learned try catch exists

[naive tinsel]

how do i change these to tuff stairs while keeping their rotation

[valid ice]

[naive tinsel]

const blocks2 = {
  "minecraft:nether_brick_stairs": "minecraft:polished_tuff_stairs"
}

  const { x, y, z } = player.location
  const dim = world.getDimension("overworld")
  for (let X = Math.floor(x) - 10; X < Math.floor(x) + 10; X++) {
    for (let Y = Math.floor(y) - 10; Y < Math.floor(y); Y++) {
      for (let Z = Math.floor(z) - 10; Z < Math.floor(z) + 10; Z++) {
        for (const [blockName, newBLockName] of Object.entries(blocks2)) {
          const block = dim.getBlock({ x: X, y: Y, z: Z })
          if (blockName == block?.typeId) {
            const perm = block.permutation
            block.setType(newBLockName)
            block.setPermutation(perm)
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

ive got this but when it sets the permuattion, it sets the block type back to the nether brick stairs

[valid ice]

const facing = block.permutation.getState('weirdo_direction');
block.setType(newBLockName);
const perm = block.permutation.withState('weirdo_direction', facing);
block.setPermutation(perm)
``` something like that maybe

can do the same for upside_down_bit

[naive tinsel]

ok

idk why they name them like that

[shy leaf]

because they want to make block stuff complicated as much as possible

(this is obviously a joke)

[solar dagger]

😂 i love the joke bro

(this is obviously me being sarcastic)

[naive tinsel]

                            const facing = block.permutation.getState('weirdo_direction');
                            const facing2 = block.permutation.getState('upside_down_bit');
                            block.setType(newBLockName);
                            // @ts-ignore
                            const perm = block.permutation.withState('weirdo_direction', facing)
                            // @ts-ignore
                            perm.withState('upside_down_bit', facing2)
                            block.setPermutation(perm)```

[valid ice]

weirdo direction be weird

[naive tinsel]

this doesnt do the upside_down_bit

[valid ice]

you have to chain them

const perm = block.permutation.withState('weirdo_direction', facing).withState('upside_down_bit', facing2)

[naive tinsel]

ah yes

thanks

[valid ice]

(If you don't want to make a new variable for every permutation you add)

[granite badger]

It’s generally bad practice, and makes your code a mess

[wary edge]

Try catch is bad practice says who?

[cinder shadow]

I only use it for debugging but It's never a bad option what

[prisma shard]

it not bad

[prisma shard]

yeah it not bad

nevre

[granite badger]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12609527/why-isnt-try-catch-used-more-often-in-javascript/12609630#12609630
Some browsers don't handle it well, but I can't say the same for qjs.
With my experience most of the times I use try catch, sometimes ignore the error ends up with me taking lots of time to debug and fix issues i should've fixed previously. I don't like avoiding issues temporarily.

[prisma shard]

hmmm waaait,, if you think a littlee, u can undetstand

it is a bad practice

making ur code neat and not erroring is a good practice

all knows

but try catch ignores them themporarily

[wary edge]

That's kind of your fault if you ignore the errors. Try catch is there to handle errors. Maybe it's bad in JS but saying try catch is bad practice is a horrible statement

[granite badger]

it has its benefits and drawbacks depending on usage. That logic applies to everything, and I use it in some places too. I just hope people here know what they're getting into when using try catch

[distant tulip]

i said it is not the best option sense we can check if the entity is loaded or not
i use it some times too

[empty tapir]

        const addRider = entity.getComponent('minecraft:rideable');
        const addRider1 = addRider.getSeats();
        addRider1[0].position.y = 15;
``` can we edit the seat position of entity?

[prisma shard]

oh! ZAHF?
i really like your addons!
and you dissappeared out of nowhere,
i'm amazed that your back

[solar dagger]

HEY ZAHF!

[prisma shard]

lol everyone falling for him

[distant tulip]

edit as in change the entity?

[prisma shard]

the expansive fantasy addon creatted by zahf22 is just so popular

did u play that addon

[empty tapir]

trying to change the sitting position

[empty tapir]

yow

[empty tapir]

lol

[solar dagger]

No

[solar dagger]

I don't think you can move them in seats

[empty tapir]

discord is having weird name lol

[solar dagger]

That's odd

[empty tapir]

🤔 still hoping we can change its sitting position😂

[solar dagger]

is it a player or entity?

[empty tapir]

its an entity

[solar dagger]

i think you can eject them and add them back

[empty tapir]

i cant eject the rider once i eject the rider the entity will despawn, and im kinda looking for a way to not make entity for each sit,😅

[solar dagger]

🤔

I don't see anything in the docs to transfer/move riders

[buoyant canopy]

how do i put a cooldown on a function, i want to not allow the function to run if it's called again within a second

[empty tapir]

its read -only😂

[solar dagger]

yeah unfortunately

[distant tulip]

store the date it is called on
and when it is called again check the date

[lone thistle]

It’s different for each device

[prisma shard]

:v

[distant tulip]

you need to edit the entity json or offset the rider using animation

[prisma shard]

btw what happen to your expansive fantasy addon?
i didn't check it since the last time i downloaded it;
it's not availavable on mcpedl now

[empty tapir]

im still working on it but on a slow phase, since i need to work first for my family, i do have an updated one but not yet for public currently only my son and his friends are playing on their realm😂

[solar dagger]

Zahf is gatekeeping

[prisma shard]

lol i wish i was your son

jk

[solar dagger]

💀

[empty tapir]

😂

[summer walrus]

💀

[buoyant canopy]

not sure if i understand

[prisma shard]

@distant tulip

mina

t

o

[lone thistle]

Store the last time they used the function and if they attempt again only allow it if it's not within the x amount you want

[prisma shard]

needed some help

[buoyant canopy]

oh, ok so i change the date in the function, and check it in the event that calls the function?

[buoyant canopy]

like this?

[prisma shard]

he's probably giong to say "dont ask to ask"

ok so, Just like, playerBreakBlock is a event, I also want to make a custom event - playerOnJump.

The question is-
So, How can I make custom event/callback?
And I want to also make it have subscribe and unsubscribe methods to the event.

I have the code for the jumping
I just don't know how to make it a event/callback.

can you help @distant tulip

(ik u dont like pings so sorry)

[summer walrus]

The more you ping the higher the pressure/stressor you're inputting the higher the chance they are overwhelmed and decide to just help you or ignore you completely

[distant tulip]

something like this

    if(player["coolDown"] > Date.now()) return;
    player["coolDown"] = Date.now() + 1000;

[devout dune]

Hellooo!
Just noticed there is no easy access to the Player. via most of the CustomComponents???
How can i access the player?

[wary edge]

Use the before place custom component instead

[distant tulip]

just use runInterval and clear run 🤷‍♂️

[buoyant canopy]

it doesn't work for my need.
i am using a damage sensor in the player file to send a scriptevent when the player recives void damage, the problem is it keeps sending scriptevents every tick and runs the event multiple times i want to not run the event until 1 second has passed since the last time the player recived the scriptevent message.

[distant tulip]

that should work
just use who ever is the source instead of the player
