Script API General

[devout dune]

Hey I am looking to hopefully grab the players rotation, based on the 'corner' of the block they are looking at.
Id like to determine which 'quadrant' they are looking / rotating towards.
Maybe the commented out code is close?

[valid ice]

raycast has face & facelocation properties

[devout dune]

We used to be able to do this with molang, and query.head_rotation _y or something. But now I need to do it via script because of customcomponents

[buoyant canopy]

it's a rising edge and my event require a falling edge, meaning it doesn't run until the cooldown has finished.

your method:
sense damage -> run a function -> wait 1 second -> if sense damage -> cancel the event
my need:
sense damage -> wait 1 second -> if sense damage wait again else run a function

[distant tulip]

just add a run time out

[buoyant canopy]

that still doesn't cancel the previous calls of the event

[distant tulip]

this is my 3x3 grid check
2x2 is simpler
4 positions and the offset is 1/2

[distant tulip]

i don't get it
do you want to cancel or delay the event if the there is a cooldown

[buoyant canopy]

cancel all the events but the last call

i have found the solution

you probably can't, you need to create your own emote animations

[devout dune]

Helloo, having a mixup between these methods.
I am trying to grab the block that the player has **placed **on the ground. AND the block that the player is placing on

I can grab the block that the player has placed. using BlockComponentOnPlaceEvent -> event.block
BUT I dont have access to the player. so I cannot cast a ray, to get the block on the ground.

I can cast a ray using BlockComponentPlayerPlaceBeforeEvent
But then I do not have access to the block that the player has placed.
It is the beforeEvent, so it logs "air" instead of the placed block.

Do I need a mix of these methods, so that I can grab the placed block, and the block that was placeed on?
I need both blocks because I am trying to cast a ray onto the ground block, to find the coordinates that the mouse is coming from, to set a coordinate state on the block the player placed. so the model will be placed in that corner

[wary edge]

Use https://stirante.com/script/server/1.13.0/classes/BlockComponentOnPlaceEvent.html#previousBlock

For the onPlace

You can use the .face property for beforeonplayer place then get the offset of the coordinates to grab the block

[glacial widget]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe((event) => {
    const player = event.player;

    if (player.getTags().includes("combat")) {
        player.addTag("leaves-combat");
        player.removeTag("combat");
        world.sendMessage(`§c§l${player.name} has combat logged!!`);
    }
});

does anyone now why nothing is said in the chat when the player leaves?

[valid ice]

before events cannot modify the world. That includes adding/removing tags & sending messages.

[glacial widget]

could i try after events?

[valid ice]

You could, but the player would not exist at that point as they have alredy left

[glacial widget]

then how would i track them when they leave?

[devout dune]

 system.run(() => {
            if (player.getTags().includes("combat")) {
        player.addTag("leaves-combat");
        player.removeTag("combat");
        world.sendMessage(`§c§l${player.name} has combat logged!!`);
    }
          });```

Maybe this?

this worked for me. when i needed it to remove entities

[glacial widget]

do i put this in a afterEvents?

[devout dune]

wrap system.run around ur logic

[valid ice]

Only problem with using system run is the same problem as with the after event- the player as an entity no longer exists when it runs, so they cannot be modified

[devout dune]

ahh okay

[glacial widget]

there is a way but pretty hard to code am guessing

[honest spear]

Well there is no way to actually modify the players data

[valid ice]

Dynamic properties are settable in before events, funnily enough. Could be unintentional, but that is one way to "set" data.

[honest spear]

interesting, thats kinda new

[valid ice]

I mean personally I am just using databases so I can system run & then set the data in the next tick to the player's id

[distant tulip]

i think that because dp are the only thing that don't have any impact in the game (they can only be accessed through that script)

[spring axle]

That was our logic way back when anyways.

[honest spear]

Well i think ItemStacks are also seperated from worth and they are abstract instaces in the script so i think all ItemStack apis could be ediables as well, but i don't really see reason for editing them tho

Well just saying its not feature request 😅

[distant tulip]

nice to get that confirmed

[spring axle]

Yeah, probably most POD-like classes should be editable

[twilit crag]

How do I get the size of a string in bytes?

For checking before setting a dynamic property to it

[pliant tiger]

Can some one help me

How to make a script that when the player look at a entity it attacks him

Like with any mob

But with there id

[lethal lichen]

Until custom component parameters become a thing, are tags the only way to pass arguments to components or has someone come up with a better workaround?

[pliant tiger]

package com.example.lookattack;

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.entity.Entity;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
import org.bukkit.scheduler.BukkitRunnable;

public class LookAttackPlugin extends JavaPlugin {

@Override
public void onEnable() {
    new LookCheckTask().runTaskTimer(this, 0L, 1L);
}

public class LookCheckTask extends BukkitRunnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        for (Player player : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()) {
            for (Entity entity : player.getNearbyEntities(5, 5, 5)) {
                if (entity.getLocation().distance(player.getEyeLocation()) < 5 && isLookingAt(player, entity)) {
                    attackPlayer(player, entity);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private boolean isLookingAt(Player player, Entity entity) {
        return entity.getLocation().toVector().subtract(player.getEyeLocation().toVector()).normalize().dot(player.getLocation().getDirection()) > 0.99;
    }

    private void attackPlayer(Player player, Entity entity) {
        // Your custom attack logic here
        entity.setVelocity(player.getLocation().toVector().subtract(entity.getLocation().toVector()).normalize().multiply(0.5));
        player.damage(2.0); // Inflicts 1 heart of damage
    }
}

}

Does this work

I made it like 2 years ago

Can someone test it to me pls

[valid ice]

script API?

or bukkit

[chrome flint]

java plugin

?

[pliant tiger]

Yes

Can you record it

If it works pls

@chrome flint

[chrome flint]

this is a bedrock server, we don't do those here

[pliant tiger]

If not

[pliant tiger]

Oh

Can you make me new one

[pliant tiger]

This for both

[chrome flint]

no

[valid ice]

bedrock addons

[pliant tiger]

The script for both bro

[pliant tiger]

Bruh bedrock steals from java creator

Like there was one idiot kid was trying to make my mod when i said no and he made it and i made a video on him and reported him

[valid ice]

bedrock server software users are pretty sparse in these parts, so I doubt you will find anyone who uses that kinda stuff here

[pliant tiger]

Yea

You know the new horror mods

[valid ice]

no

[pliant tiger]

Np

All they are for java only with good quality and actions but bedrock creators steal it and its not that good even

Like WTF

Why do they even do it

[valid ice]

uh

ok

[solar dagger]

Anybody know how to set an entity pitch rotation?

[distant tulip]

setRotation(vector2)

none player entity

[chrome flint]

setRotation({pitch,yaw})

[solar dagger]

Okay I'll take a look at that

👌

[solar dagger]

@distant tulip do you know a way that I can send the rotation values over to the entity file in RP?

[distant tulip]

property

[valid ice]

1. Why ping ._.
2. molang queries

[solar dagger]

I'm making a custom flight path for an entity and require my animations to be in sync with those values

Property...will that be delayed?

[distant tulip]

also as herobrine said just use molang queries

[distant tulip]

2 tick

[valid ice]

query.eye_target_x_rotation: Returns the X eye rotation of the entity if it makes sense, else it returns 0.0.
query.eye_target_y_rotation: Returns the Y eye rotation of the entity if it makes sense, else it returns 0.0.

query.body_x_rotation: Returns the body pitch rotation if called on an actor, else it returns 0.0.
query.body_y_rotation: Returns the body yaw rotation if called on an actor, else it returns 0.0.

[solar dagger]

Hmmm 🤔 I don't think that would make a difference

[solar dagger]

Thanks, already reviewed it

[valid ice]

Full list is found here https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Molang

[distant tulip]

molang queries is faster

[solar dagger]

Okay thanks 🙏

[valid ice]

There's an ungodly number of molang parameters for rotations lol

[feral thorn]

Hey everyone, is there a way to have an event for when a player lefts clicks an item in a custom component? I see OnUse, which I believe can only work when the item is right clicked. Thanks

[distant tulip]

only on blocks

[valid ice]

(or entities)

[feral thorn]

Gotcha, so for some context im trying to add a gun and wanting to have events where I can fire the weapon with left click, then aim down sights with right. From what I know there isn't a way to implement this with custom components? If thats the case, is there another method for this to work?

[valid ice]

No way with custom components, unfortunately.

for the right-click, your best bet would be to use item charge or item start use & item stop use

#debug-playground please @fathom pecan

[fathom pecan]

sorry

[feral thorn]

Okay, thanks appreciate it! Hope they have some way to do this in the future, especially now that events are being depreciated i guess

[valid ice]

as for the left click.. you can detect hits on entity or block, but not on air :(

[feral thorn]

Thats true, im thinking for now to just skip the whole aim down sights thing for now and just use the right click to shoot, cause im wanting to keep track of ammo and stuff in script. Thinking for the reloading to have a use on event then see if the player is sneaking to make that part function.

What would be great with custom components would be to subsribe to keyevents, god that would add so much functionality

[valid ice]

Keystroke detection would be

[fallow rivet]

How can I prevent players from breaking blocks between the coordinates "0 10 0" and "10 0 10"?

[valid ice]

cancel before block break event if coordinates are in that bound

[fallow rivet]

I don't know how to set the coordinate

[valid ice]

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(data => {
    const blockLoc = data.block.location;
    if (
    (blockLoc.x <= 10 && blockLoc.x >= 0) &&
    (blockLoc.y <= 10 && blockLoc.y >= 0) &&
    (blockLoc.z <= 10 && blockLoc.z >= 0)
    ) {
        data.cancel = true;
    }
});``` something like this maybe

[fallow rivet]

Hmm

Thanks

Btw What is the time there?

[valid ice]

16:21

[fallow rivet]

Where do you live?

[valid ice]

._.

[fallow rivet]

Only I asked because the time was very different from where I was.

Here 2.23

[valid ice]

Timezones do that, yeah

[fallow rivet]

İ know, But this just seems really weird

[fallow rivet]

Have you considered adding something like this to the chest ui?

[valid ice]

whar

oh a giant form?

[fallow rivet]

Ye

9x9

[valid ice]

eh

if people want to add it themselves, they can.

[fallow rivet]

I added this to your chest ui 1 year ago

[valid ice]

Haven't had any complaints about 54 being the max

[fallow rivet]

The reason I added this

Player inventory appears empty

[valid ice]

Yes

[fallow rivet]

This was bothering me so I added this

[valid ice]

That is... something I wanted to add and never really got around to it

Not to say I didn't try

[fallow rivet]

I'm doing an auction and I'm not sure if I should use chest ui.

[valid ice]

You do you

[fallow rivet]

Btw I entered your realms

There was an auction there

Do you use time in Auction?

[valid ice]

Date methods? Always

Much more accurate than scoreboards, and no need for them to count down like scoreboards do

[fallow rivet]

Are you using dynamicproperty to save data?

[valid ice]

I use a scoreboard database system

[fallow rivet]

This is the first time I've heard of this 💀

There is still so much I need to learn

[valid ice]

tbf not many use a scoreboard db lol

I just haven't really upgraded to DPs and can't be asked as the current one I'm using works perfectly fine

[fallow rivet]

İ use dynamicproperty

[fallow rivet]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe is only used in beta

[valid ice]

Yes

[bright dove]

anyone can help me with this ?

[kind vault]

class AnimatedSlot {
    static Animate (inv , slot, itemStack, amountMode = "set", amount = 0) {
     //Checks if the ammount mode is remove and above 0
        if (amountMode === "remove" && amount > 0) {
            //Checks if itemStack ammount is greater than 1 and less than the max ammount
        if (itemStack?.amount > 1 && amount < itemStack.maxAmount) {
        const itemReturn = itemStack.clone();
          itemReturn.amount -= amount;
          inv.setItem(slot, itemReturn);
        } else if (itemStack?.amount === amount) {
          inv.setItem(slot, new ItemStack("air"));
        }
      } else if (amountMode === "add" && amount > 0) {
        if (itemStack?.amount > 0 && amount < itemStack.maxAmount) {
          const itemReturn = itemStack.clone();
          itemReturn.amount += amount;
          inv.setItem(slot, itemReturn);
        }
      }
    }
  }

[kind vault]

So what this one do

[bright dove]

Well, you might need more context, but i am fixing a very old code that basically recreate a furnace "animation" using items

[misty pivot]

if i where to temporarily remove an area and place it back later which is better to use? structures or saving each block in an array? ||(especially if i were to temporarily save a lot of areas)||

[random flint]

using Structure would be more memory-friendly. (Also save other block data like containers or banner patterns)

Using an array to store blocks would work, but it can quickly start taking a lot of memory for the script can handle.

[misty pivot]

i see, thanks

[celest fable]

how to clear one item type?

[lone thistle]

You mean a specific slot?

[celest fable]

nope, i mean specific itemId, like minecraft:diamond or other?

[lone thistle]

If statement

[celest fable]

like, how?

[lone thistle]

If the item in the slot matches the typeId you’re looking for, setItem it

[celest fable]

oowh

btw how to access the Android/data from acode:)

[celest fable]

like this?

let items = []
for (let i =0;i<container.size;i++) {
  const itemData = container.getItem(i)
  if (itemData.typeId == item.item) items.push()
}
if (items.length == 0) return
items.forEach((item, i) => container.setItem(i))

[summer walrus]

bro if you try it first you can debug it if error

[subtle cove]

function clear(itemId, source) {
    const c = source.getComponent('inventory').container;
    Array.from({ length: c.size }, (o, i) => {
        if (c.getItem(i)?.typeId != itemId) return 
        c.setItem(i)
    }) 
} ```

[summer walrus]

nvm m9 is here

[subtle cove]

Why me ;-;

[celest fable]

thx

[celest fable]

you're too op;-;

[subtle cove]

sigh thx

I'm just waiting for questions why my code r like those

[thorn flicker]

I was wondering

[subtle cove]

[thorn flicker]

you meant c right, instead of o?

[subtle cove]

o has no value inside the array there

[thorn flicker]

you cannot just leave it empty?

[subtle cove]

It's just there to skip the 1st param, and have the 2nd as index

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible to block the toolbox with a script?

[thorn flicker]

hmm

ill just stick to using for loops

lmao

and read up on it more later ofc

[subtle cove]

let i = c.size
while (i--) {
    if (c.getItem(i)?.typeId != itemId) continue;
    c.setItem(i)
} ```

[thorn flicker]

so compact

I like

[subtle cove]

Oh u wana see one line compact

[thorn flicker]

👀

[subtle cove]

Nvm

[thorn flicker]

lmao I was gonna say use tenerary

[celest fable]

Whoa the thing that has cool "Tenerary Operator" name which make me crazy about how it works

[thorn flicker]

?

[celest fable]

nothin

[thorn flicker]

it was somethin

[celest fable]

🙂

[subtle cove]

idk what that is tho, so ehh

[fallow rivet]

.

[celest fable]

no

but detect yes

[subtle cove]

Block an app, no

[thorn flicker]

condition ? exprIfTrue : exprIfFalse

[subtle cove]

Oh

[celest fable]

you can detect how the player move or what efer called Anti Cheat lmao

[fallow rivet]

Can I detect if you are using Give item?

[celest fable]

what?

detect if the player has nonrasional item

[subtle cove]

c[c.getItem(i)?.typeId == itemId && 'setItem']?.(i)

[celest fable]

whoa that typing take much time, i just expected so complex code and it just apear like this LMAO

[thorn flicker]

lol

[subtle cove]

If its false
It'd be like
c.false() which is not in the c

So ?. Is there

[celest fable]

what?

[subtle cove]

Anyway gtg cook

[thorn flicker]

optional chaining

[celest fable]

it should be like item.typeId == itemId ? item.setItem(i): continue isnt?

wait what are you talkin abaout:v

[thorn flicker]

[celest fable]

im wondering what is that thing called

does anyone have land system code?

[fallow rivet]

How do you make this work?

[cold grove]

Executes setItem if fhe type id matches 👍

[subtle cove]

@fallow rivet

It's just alternative ways

[runic crypt]

Can anyone make me a script in which if player doesn't have a specific tag then they can only open the chest and see the contents but not take/add any items
While players with the tag can open, add/remove items from the chest ?

[cold grove]

Yes, everyone can, even YOU

[runic crypt]

how ?

[lone thistle]

Didn’t they already fix that permanently?

[subtle cove]

Items can't be locked in block container tho

[cold grove]

Very hard in vanilla

Only modding bedrock servers

[subtle cove]

The player toggleable perms is the only thing that can manipulate such perms iirc

[runic crypt]

im down to use scripts/addons

[lone thistle]

Even if you can’t directly do this I’m sure there’s a technique to execute it

[runic crypt]

is it ?

can you tell ?

[lone thistle]

Using ChestUI when a player opens a chest display the UI with the items in it

[subtle cove]

On the next version or when the held item entity component bbecomes available, then u can detect if player's tryna grab sth

[lone thistle]

Still waiting for beforeEvents.entityHitEntity

[cold grove]

You can just make the block unInteractable for those players

And

[subtle cove]

But it's also possible to take out n drop the item out of the container without holding it

[thorn flicker]

well you can get the block's inventory already.

[lone thistle]

But he might want them to see its content

Cancel block interaction -> display chest UI

[cold grove]

And show an form with the items and amounts in the form body

[thorn flicker]

not might

he does

[cold grove]

You can use text or use emojis

You should make an emoji for every item but

[lone thistle]

Emoji for every item?

[thorn flicker]

lmfao

[lone thistle]

Chest UI uses icons

For knowledge ^^

[thorn flicker]

sorry man, you have to make like a million emojis!

and modded items arent supported!

[cold grove]

You can modify that to show the amount

Never used it

[lone thistle]

It’s just buttons though, they can fetch the amount and display it as the button text

[summer walrus]

when the player who asked disappeared and everyone who was tryna help is still discussing abt it:

[subtle cove]

Hmm, jayly's inv link might be of use on this one

[hardy tusk]

How?

[subtle cove]

Cus y not ;-;

[summer walrus]

how what

[cold grove]

Yes

[hardy tusk]

How an inv link addon could be of use in this scenario

[hardy tusk]

Also I think this is a pretty solid idea

[summer walrus]

what is inv link :D

inventory link ?

or invite link

[thorn flicker]

invite....

[hardy tusk]

Yea

[subtle cove]

Ohno

[hardy tusk]

Inventory

[summer walrus]

same bro

[hardy tusk]

I think

[subtle cove]

Inventory link of players

[thorn flicker]

inventory link

[subtle cove]

Basically to lock the player's inv when they're interacting with a block, idk just an idea

[summer walrus]

:o

[subtle cove]

I also agree that this is the better option @runic crypt

[cold grove]

X2

[thorn flicker]

or maybe you could do something with the new cursoriventory component

[runic crypt]

how do i do it ?

i have a script to display chest ui when compass is right clicked

[cold grove]

You know what scripting is?

[runic crypt]

yea....

[cold grove]

Do you know js?

[runic crypt]

kinda

[cold grove]

What do you need to start? You should be able to

[runic crypt]

i just wanna know how to make a modal form open when player opens a chest on a specific coordinates

idk how to do that

if its even possible

[cold grove]

World afterEvents/beforeevents

[runic crypt]

this

instead of right clcik on compass

i want it so that i open chest on specific coords and it opens the fourm

[cold grove]

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

Its not stable

Btw

[shy leaf]

cant you use afterevent for that

is there one

[lone thistle]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { block, player } = event;
    const { x, y, z } = block.location;

    if (block.typeId === "minecraft:chest" && x === xLoc && y === yLoc && z === zLoc) {
        event.cancel = true;
        primaryMenu(player)
    }
});

[lone thistle]

You can't cancel it if it's an after

[fallow rivet]

function createauction(player) {
const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
const form = new ActionFormData();
form.title(`Select Item`);
form.body("");
form.button("§cBack");   
const itemButtonMap = [];    
for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
const item = inventory.getItem(i);           
if (item == undefined) continue;       
form.button(formatBlockName(item.typeId) + " x" + item.amount);
itemButtonMap.push(i); 
}   
form.show(player).then(result => {
if (result.selection === 0) {
auction(player);
}})}

How do I add the texture of the items to the buttons here?

[shy leaf]

oh right the chest

[cold grove]

He needs to cancel the interaction if the player is not able (chest)

[shy leaf]

yeah

[fallow rivet]

İ know , But it is very difficult to write the Greek items one by one. Is it possible to make it easier?

[shy leaf]

i just noticed

[shy leaf]

greek what?

[summer walrus]

create a function for auto texture

separate items from blocks since they are located on diff folders

[cold grove]

Iterate your container items and add them to the form

You already did it lol

Sorry

[bright dove]

anyone here to help ?

[wary edge]

Please open a post

[bright dove]

Okay

[tiny fable]

is it not possible to read/write a file in the script?

[shy leaf]

read you can but

write as in?

[tiny fable]

wait read is enough

how to do it?

[shy leaf]

uh

depends on what youre reading

if its a script file then yes

[random flint]

if it .js yes

if it other things... no

[tiny fable]

I'm trying to read a txt file 😭

[shy leaf]

nah

[tiny fable]

looks like its not possible

[shy leaf]

not possible

what is the txt file for, though

you could make a database using scripts and make your main script to read it

[tiny fable]

i have a uh
long chain of numbers

of player data

[shy leaf]

[tiny fable]

so

[shy leaf]

and how long is it

i mean uh

what is it

[tiny fable]

around the data size of a 4 second .mp4 file..

[shy leaf]

What the fuck

[tiny fable]

idk its just a approximation its not related to mp4

[random flint]

Just declare a const with that string

[shy leaf]

oh wait nevermind i read that wrong

[random flint]

you can just export & import across files. for readability

[tiny fable]

cool imma try it

👍

i think i fried the tokenization

[random flint]

Might as well just avoid using these numbers in the first place.

[shy leaf]

what on earth

are those numbers

i bet watchdog would dox you if you put that in your script 💀

[shy leaf]

nah

ips arent built like that

(unless)

[fallow rivet]

Is there a bedrock model on Blockbench?

[wary edge]

Not sure how this relates to scriptapi

[shy leaf]

yes but

oyure in #1067535382285135923

[fallow rivet]

Oh sorry I wrote it in the wrong place

[tiny fable]

🤫 dont spoil my big plan 🤫

[viral plaza]

Anyone know why when I spawn an item with dimensio.spawnItem it flings the items sometimes, is there anyway to make it just summon In one spot?

[west chasm]

The clearVelocity() method should help with that.

dimension.spawnItem(item, { x, y, z }).clearVelocity();

[viral plaza]

That’s a method?

[weary umbra]

why can't I give a player a tag?

Saved everything.

Now my gens can actually have a reliable afk system

[last latch]

is it better to make a intervalmanager which puts every function saved into one interval or use more than one interval?
for example :

AfterEvents.onTick(() => {
  // code

  // code

  // code
})

system.runInterval(() => {
    // code
})

system.runInterval(() => {
    // code
})

system.runInterval(() => {
    // code
})

[prisma shard]

just use one interval

[last latch]

if you create a big project everything in one interval makes the interval big unless you use multiple functions

i prefer using only one with api

more than multiple intervals

How can i set multiple states on a block?

      placedBlock.setPermutation(
        placedBlock.permutation.withState("ts:quadrant", quadrantValueToString),

[wary edge]

Just call setPermutation multiple times

[neat hound]

add multiple .withStates()

Trying to get the functionality of the Ominous vault working.

Since using setblock doesnt have its behavior working right

[knotty plaza]

Maybe with structures

[valid ice]

Does the updated return value on Dimension::fillBlocks() have the amount of blocks that were successfully replaced by the method? I cannot seem to find it, and I don't know if it was removed or not.

[mystic mortar]

Uhhh idk. Im not filling over the ominous vault. Just copying it's functionality.

[valid ice]

I'm just asking a generalized question

[mystic mortar]

Idk lol.

[amber granite]

Nvm

[cinder shadow]

doesn't ListBlockVolume return number of blocks placed?

[valid ice]

Can't find it

add(), remove() or BlockVolume methods of getBlockLocationIterator(), getBoundingBox(), getCapacity(), getMax(), getMin(), getSpan(), isInside(), & translate

[amber granite]

What the " :: " means ?

[cinder shadow]

oh.. what happens if you did const test = dimension.fillBlocks...?

[amber granite]

is :: valid js syntax?

[valid ice]

Shows that it's a method on that class

idk, I've seen others use it

[cinder shadow]

does stringify even do anything with that

if you just chuck everything out

[valid ice]

lemme see

It looks like c++ scope resolution operator lol

Gets nothing lol

[deep quiver]

Its c++ yeah

class::function

Thats what you see in the script api error messages sometimes

[amber granite]

Ohhhh

So they are cpp functions after all

[valid ice]

Just these

[fiery solar]

The only way would be to use getBlockLocationIterator to iterate over all the locations that were filled and count them. The number of locations could be huge though depending on the Volume you fill, so you would probably want to wrap it in a system.runJob to spread it over multiple ticks so you don't crash.

[valid ice]

sigh

[valid ice]

Is there legit no better way? 😭

[oak hatch]

if you arent using BlockFillOptions to define specific blocks to replace, then getCapacity should work

[valid ice]

The thing is, I am using fill options..

Well, you are not defining player. Just event (in the worldInitialize function), blockComponentRegistry (from event), and e (in onPlayerInteract)

[shy leaf]

do e.player instead of just player

Change line 4 to onPlayerInteract: ({player}) => { to define the player variable. Although it's possible player is undefined, so be sure to set an optional accessor on line 5 too: player?.runCommand('say test')

[neat hound]

How come I cannot capture a custom component player interaction while player is sneaking?

Has anyone encountered that?

[solar lake]

Isn't test.getCapacity() what you are looking for? Its how many blocks are in the list.

[fading sand]

Will adding forward velocity to an rider move the ride forwards?

[neat hound]

So the world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock can get the event signal while the player.isSneaking but world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize -> event.blockComponentRegistry -> onPlayerInteract cannot.
Which means that in order to process player.isSneaking, I have to NOT use a custom component, and do it the old way. I bet it has to do with the event being cancellable or not. If the event is not cancelled and you are holding an item, it gets used.

[buoyant canopy]

hmmm, custom item component trigger when the item is used on a block while the player is sneaking, i don't know why that isn't the case with blocks?

probably to allow building on that block?

[neat hound]

People are going to have debug problems with this, if they do not know. If you write code for your door using a custom component, you cannot interact with that door while sneaking.

Maybe if I can cancel the event that would place the block

I wonder if I am missing something

[fading sand]

Can anyone tell me rq?

[unique dragon]

yes, that' something that i saw before, in my case, i made a log that has custom component, that lets you strip the log with an axe, but it doesn't let you put blocks on the log, bc it's interacting with the block

kind weirrd

[neat hound]

I tried cancelling the event in the world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock and it still did not register. I think because it all happens in the same tick, so the event cancellation doe not do anything.
Maybe if I cancel the placing of the block.

I am doing something where you hit a block with itself in order to change the rotation...

but if you sneak.. you can advance 16 rotations

[valid ice]

Is the block volume it returns just the blocks that were filled?

[solar lake]

That is correct. So blocks excluded by the filter will not be included in the list.

[valid ice]

Well that's good to know- thanks

NPM type return value still says "number of blocks filled", so was confused what the return actually returned

[neat hound]

I just realized if I try to circuvent it (cause I was close) then I won't be able to place a block next to itself... LOL

[twilit crag]

Is using structures for bucket/pokeball-like items a good idea or will the world hit the structure limit from people destroying the item?

[buoyant canopy]

did you try to interact with the block with an empty hand?

because all vanilla blocks can not be interacted with when a player is holding an item while sneaking

[neat hound]

Yes, I know that works, but nothing in hand or anything except the block, already does something (sendMessage the current rotation angle of the block).

I just changed it so you have to use a stick to skip 16 rotations. Cause placing block on it does need sneaking, so I can't get around that.

If I really want to get fancy, I can use the faceLocation to map to a spot on the block, like it is a machine... but not convenient right now.. but keeping that in mind for future tech blocks.

[lunar shoal]

What am I doing wrong here? When I teleport it doesn't face me in the positive Z direction:

player.teleport( { x: x + 0.5, y: y + 1, z: z + 0.5 }, { facingLocation: { x: x, y: y, z: z + 1 } } );

Keep up with the change logs....

This should work to cancel a subscription, right```js

    event.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent(
        "dw623:rotation_angles_components",
        {
            onPlayerInteract: e => {

                const { block, player } = e;
                if (!player?.isValid()) return;

                if (!validateBlockStates(block)) {
                    //unsubscribe without mercy to avoid world crashing
                    console.error(`§cMissing or Invalid Block State Values on ${block.typeId} : Cancelling OnPlayerInteract Subscription`)
                    world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.unsubscribe(rotationBlockCustomComponentSubscriptionId)
                    return;

how do i get when tnt hits with entityhitentity

[valid ice]

dunno

[subtle cove]

explosion...

[grave thistle]

Is there a way to get the player's current biome?

[fervent topaz]

how tho

[cinder shadow]

Yes and no

You can get their biome. However, if there is a lush or dripstone cave below you, the biomes will be flipped

No, I did not report this bug

[grave thistle]

How so? I know there's an add-on on the marketplace that has a biome detector so there must be a stable way

I've looked through Player and dimension and can't find anything too obvious for getting the current biome

[cinder shadow]

If I was at home I could send it

Basically yes, it's just two cave biomes for whatever reason flip the detection and it can be abused to find caves easily

[grave thistle]

Shouldn't be an issue for me. I just need biome detection for a spell system I'm working on. I have a druidic spell with different effects based on the biome it's cast in

[sharp elbow]

Spawn an entity with an environment sensor that tests the current biome. It's not pretty, but if configured correctly it should work somewhat well

[cinder shadow]

Please don't do that

[cinder shadow]

   const biomes = BiomeTypes.getAll();
{getCurrentBiome(block.dimension, location, biomes)

function getCurrentBiome(dimension, location, biomes) {
    for(const currentBiome of biomes) {
        const biome = dimension.findClosestBiome(location, currentBiome.id, {boundingSize: {x: 64, y: 64, z: 64}});
        if(biome != undefined) {
            return formatIdentifierToText(currentBiome.id);
        }
    }
    return 
}```

kinda just yoinked this out of my script

make sure to import BiomeTypes

[sharp elbow]

Mm, seems kind of expensive. That is one API call for every biome in BiomeTypes

Would probably be OK if done on demand instead of being run periodically

[subtle cove]

I thought tnt can only be grabbed by fish hook...

Wdym by entity hit in that btw...

[fervent topaz]

i mean in the entity hit entity afterevent

[subtle cove]

Yeah but tnt can't hit an entity, right?

[cinder shadow]

Yeah.. I have it being ran whenever a player is using a spyglass. I think that's the only way to really do it via scripting right now unfortunately

how do i even use multiple RawMessage into form

it keeps giving me unexpected end of string at the end of script line 💀

[valid ice]

is this even correct

(it isnt)

[valid ice]

mainUi.button({ rawtext: [{ text: 'color' }, { translate: 'adv.name' }] }, adv.icon)

[shy leaf]

if this works then i did it wrong with other code too

ty

[valid ice]

Something like that- the transalation line is still iffy , as you need a buncha stuff for that one

It detects lang file stuff and replaces, I think there's an example on docs, one sec

{ translate: 'item.skull.player.name', with: [text] }

Where text is just a string value

or- ```js
import { world } from '@minecraft/server';

// Displays "Apple or Coal"
const rawMessage = {
translate: 'accessibility.list.or.two',
with: { rawtext: [{ translate: 'item.apple.name' }, { translate: 'item.coal.name' }] },
};
world.sendMessage(rawMessage);```

hope that helps somewhat :P

imagine Player is the base model then u made changes with it,
then its player variants will have those changes that u can use

[shy leaf]

so basically modifying the class

[subtle cove]

same with Block, ItemStack, AfterEvents, System, etc

[prisma shard]

so it's like adding some custom methods to the player class?

[subtle cove]

method, function, value, string, number stuff

[prisma shard]

can u teach me how to make them now

[subtle cove]

World.prototype.killPlayer = function (name) {
  this.getPlayers({name})[0]?.kill()
}``````js
world.killPlayer("m9")

[shy leaf]

world.killPlayer(name)```

awh im slow

[subtle cove]

Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, 'copy', {
    value: function Copy(param = this) {
        switch (typeof param) {
            case "string": case "number": case "boolean": return param;
            case "undefined": return `${param}`;
        }
        if (Array.isArray(param) || Symbol.iterator in param) return Array.from(param, Copy);
        const O = {};
        for (const key in param) {
            const value = param[key]
            switch (typeof value) {
                case "string": case "number": case "boolean": O[key] = value; continue;
                case "undefined": O[key] = `${value}`; continue;
                case "object": O[key] = value ? Copy(value) : value !== null || null; continue;
                case "function": O[key] = value;
            }
        } return O
    }
});
```this one might look illegal

then do```js
world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(eventData => {
const w = world.copy()
const ae = world.afterEvents.copy()
const pComps = eventData.player.getComponents('inventory').copy()
const data = eventData.copy()
const str = JSON.stringify({w,ae,pComps,data}, null, 3)
world.sendMessage(str)
})

[prisma shard]

what is even this

that actualy looks illegal lol

[subtle cove]

just to help the JSON.stringify to "stringify" the "unstringifyable" properties of an object by recreating another {} and attach the props there

[prisma shard]

how can i make a custom class like the vector3 interface class?

[shy leaf]

seeing this in minecraft script api is cursed

[prisma shard]

like vector3 interface class is like that: {x: x, y: y, z: z}
and like that i want to make a custom vector2 interface class: {x: x, y: y}

@subtle cove

srry for ping yes im stupid

[subtle cove]

class Vector3 {
  constructor(x,y,z){
    this.x = x
    this.y = y
    this.z = z
  }
}``````js
const loc = new Vector3(1,2,3)

[prisma shard]

thats () not {}

[valid ice]

Doesn’t vector2 exist already

[sharp elbow]

mm, it would be wiser to create a sub-object and edit its prototype than to edit Object's prototype

[prisma shard]

new Vector3({ x: x, y: y })
i want it liike that

[subtle cove]

ik

[sharp elbow]

Have the constructor take a Vector2, then assign from the properties on that parameter.

constructor(vec) {
  this.x = vec.x;
  this.y = vec.y;
}

[subtle cove]

cus lazy importing stuff

Object is like the last root of most types

[prisma shard]

class Vector3 {
 constructor(Vector3) {
  this.x = Vector3.x;
  this.y = Vector3.y;
  this.z = Vector3.z;
  }
}
const loc = new Vector3({ x: 1, y: 2, z: 3 });

so like that?

[sharp elbow]

Yea, I believe that should work. The name of the parameter is odd (sharing the name of the class) but I don't think it poses problems here

[subtle cove]

if u wana pass {x: 1, y:3}, this.z = Vector3.z ?? 0

just a simple null property check if u dont wana assign a non number

[prisma shard]

if (!typeof Vector3.x === "number" && !typeof Vector3.y === "number" && !typeof Vector3.z === "number") return;

[fading sand]

If i want to remove the y component of an vector do i have to do it like this?:

const entityDir = ridingOnEntity.getViewDirection();

let newVec = {x:entityDir.x, y:0, z:entityDir.z};

?

[subtle cove]

if (!Object.values(Vector3).every(e=> typeof e == 'number')) return

[sharp elbow]

You could edit entityDir directly, but I suppose yea that works. It will not be normalized though

[subtle cove]

entityDir.y = 0

[prisma shard]

getViewDirection() is already a vector3

[fading sand]

Ohh

[fading sand]

Yes

[fading sand]

And that would solve it more easily ig

Thx guys

[fading sand]

If i wana get the ride do i have to do:

let ridComp = ridingOnEntity?.getComponent("riding");
let ride = ridComp?.getRide();

?

[knotty plaza]

The code I sent is getting the ride

[fading sand]

Yes

No

Its checking for

Not getting

Now i have to get the ride

[knotty plaza]

.entityRidingOn is an entity, not a boolean

[fading sand]

Or wait

Ohh

Its returning in that entity

Hey, how do you add dynamic properties to an item? I am wanting to set variables on an item that I could use in my custom components, thanks!

[somber echo]

Only with non-stackable itemsjs item.setDynamicProperty('id', info);

[feral thorn]

Okay, and do you make the item non stackable by setting the component "minecraft:max_stack_size" to 1? Or is there another way to do so?

[wary edge]

Correct

[feral thorn]

Alright awesome, appreciate it guys

[ionic kayak]

Actually I'm confused, what data would you use exactly?

[wary edge]

Are you grabbing a custom block or vanilla?

[ionic kayak]

Custom

[wary edge]

Have the cardinal direction block trait

Then in scriptapi, just get the mimecraft:cardinal_direction block state

[ionic kayak]

Ohhhhhhhhhh

umm, a quick reminder, what should i do to make getDimension(?) works on every dimension?

it should be like this

// a Math thing that will detect those multiple dimensions
,,,,.getDimension([dim]) // or something

Does anyone know a way to guarantee a vault loads? This usually loads a vault 80% of the time. I want it to be guaranteed

        world.getDimension('Overworld').runCommandAsync(`tickingarea add  ${x - 8} 0 ${z - 11} ${x - 8} 0 ${z - 11} vault:${player.id}`);
        world.getDimension('Overworld').runCommandAsync("tickingarea list");
        
       world.getDimension('Overworld').runCommandAsync(`structure load vault ${x - 8} 0 ${z - 11}`).then(() => {

           playerData.vaultLoaded = true;
           vaultDB.set(player.id, playerData)
           console.warn("Structure loaded and ticking area removed");
           }, 20)

well, this script:

     if (block.below(0.1)) entity.applyImpulse(,,,)
```cannot detect if the entity is starting on the block edges, can someone help me how to make it work when the entity is standing on the block or on the edges?

i will open a post sir

[wary edge]

If its a custom block you can use onStepOn, other than that I dont think there is a way

Aside from some math calculations but that probably isnt 100% foolproof

[valid ice]

Is that the problem @cinder shadow was running into?

[untold magnet]

my block is 3 pixels tall, it might be not detected with that onStepOn component

bec i have already tested it

1s

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry: block }) => {
  block.registerCustomComponent('exe:conveyor', {
    onStepOn: i => {
        i.entity.applyKnockback(1, 1, 1, 1)
    }
  })
})
```this should knock me up when i step on it right?

[wary edge]

Needs to be 4

[untold magnet]

well

      "minecraft:collision_box": {
        "size": [ 16, 3, 16]
      },
      "minecraft:selection_box": {
        "size": [ 16, 3, 16]
      }
```this what it is now

[wary edge]

It wont work

[untold magnet]

lemme try with 4

[untold magnet]

it works, thanks sir

[cinder shadow]

Mm I have something somewhere

But that was with an early version of my potion sponges where I cared about performance

Now I'm just using on tick and getting all entities lol

[untold magnet]

I'll make the collection box 4, and the selection box 3 to match the block sizes

umm

that onStepOn will work only one time

how to make it looping?

i mean when the entity stands on it, not step

[celest fable]

is it possible to do multi threading on script api, and what's the benefits of doing multi threading

[tiny tartan]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/applying-effects

[cinder shadow]

What I did before was when they step on it I started a system interval to check what block they were standing on every tick

[untold magnet]

oh wait, i actually got a better idea

yah that makes sense

onStepOn will turn on an interval that moves the entities, onStepOff will turn it off

noticed, I'll do that tomorrow

thanks for the help guys,

[neat hound]

1. for the math, you can use the address of the center of the block, with testing to determine how far out for a player to be fully inside the block. The player's location is a decimal number that is "kinda" down to the pixel.

2. if the player is on the edge of the block, he is also on another block, You can test the surrounding blocks for the player and assume if they pick him up too, he is on the edge.

[untold magnet]

thanks for help but i already found a better way to do that,

[neat hound]

I played with a conveyor too. I just opted to move everyone to center of block so that I did not have to worry how it looked if they were traveling on the edge.

[inland merlin]

Not possible

But you can make multiple intervals and control those

But threading is a no

[fiery solar]

Is there a difference in the way that the android version of the game loads chunks? I thought that if a chunk was loaded then all y positions in that chunk would be loaded, which seems to be the case on Windows, but I'm getting errors when trying to get blocks away up towards the top of loaded chunks in the overworld on mobile.

Guys do y all know what’s new on server ui 2.0.0 alpha? Is this the first version on Ore Ui?

[unique dragon]

i don't think ore ui it's available

for now

cause server ui it's just for Forms

[remote oyster]

Ignore "alpha". Can't be used.

[prisma shard]

yooo when u update ur custom chest

its been a long time since its outdated

[wheat condor]

Yeah but like json ui is bad, creating forms would be better with ore ui

[distant tulip]

it is a rewrite of current script API
as kayla said #1019692489596215388 message it will break backwards compatibility with the old api
they will probably try to make most stuff stable before starting to work on that

[wheat condor]

Ok ty

[untold magnet]

sup guys, um is it possible to use onStepOn and onStepOff inside of one worldInitialize?

[shy leaf]

you can

[untold magnet]

also

um

i should use a function that will have the runInterval that will be turned on using onStepOn and turned off using onStepOff?

[shy leaf]

OH GOD NO

just

add tick component

and set dynamic property on player on both onStepOn and onStepOff

make the onTick to check it

[untold magnet]

i dont wanna use onTick for each conveyor, bec its going to be so laggy

[untold magnet]

nah onTick is so laggy, i dont wanna use it

[shy leaf]

then put system.runInterval outside the block component

[untold magnet]

inside of a function?

[shy leaf]

and use it to check for the dynamic property

[shy leaf]

sure ig

[untold magnet]

oh,
theres something called setInterval and clearInterval

[inland merlin]

runInterval, clearRun

[untold magnet]

um, I'll put that inside of a function, how can i turn it on and off?
function e(entity, interv) ???
if (interv = true) interval,,,
if (interv = false) clearRun(interval) ???

onStepOn: i => { e(i.entity, true) }
onStepOff: r => { e(i.entity, false) }

like that?

[untold magnet]

well, onStepOff is quite buggy

when the block is broken, it will not stop that interval

so the entity will keep moving

it is bugged, I'll use something else ig

[fiery solar]

onStep is definitely the way you want to go with this, anything else is going to be a performance nightmare.

You can just call the same function to stop when the block is broken

[untold magnet]

i thought about that, but
i think this pig had enough

[fallow rivet]

[distant tulip]

onStep :
runInterval => {
  if(block is still bellow the entity){
    apply knockback in the same direction
  } else clearRun
}

[umbral scarab]

How would I go about this:
When a damage source (e.g. ender crystal, creeper, or tnt) happens it only applies to the player that triggers it through a right clickable item etc

so event source

[cold grove]

You want to cancel player being hurt?

[untold magnet]

um, onStep only or onStepOn?
also should i do it like this onStepOn: system.runInterval(() => { applyImplus } )?

[umbral scarab]

anyone but the person who triggered it

[vast comet]

cancel the event and fake one with particles sounds and damage the player you want

[unique dragon]

but ore ui will take more time

[crude bridge]

do i have any chance to sell this addon or does it suck?

[vast comet]

If it is yours in the first place

[crude bridge]

the behavior

all the rp is not mine

[vast comet]

alr
my bad

[crude bridge]

np

[remote oyster]

Seems your behavior is built around a custom resource pack. Guess the question is, what does it look like, and how does it compare to a vanilla environment. Since it's very likely if you only sell the behavior pack for legal reasons, then that is probably what the majority are going to experience.

[untold magnet]

so this:

   onStepOn: i => {
      const interval = system.runInterval(() => { world.sendMessage('On') })
    }
```gonna send messages when the entity steps on it, how can i turn that off when the entity is no longer above the block?

[vast comet]

const {x,y,z} = entity.location
const blockId = entity.dimension.getBlock({x:x,y:y-1,z:z})?.typeId
if(blockId !== "your block id") system.clearRun(interval)

[untold magnet]

why not

if (i.block.below(1).typeId !== ',,,')) system.clearRun(interval)
```?

[vast comet]

the entity is moving

[untold magnet]

i should put that inside of the interval right?

[vast comet]

either that or combine onStepOff and block break to clear the run

[untold magnet]

what if the block has been exploded? it will not be detected ig

and the entities will keep moving on, jeez i cant make anything without problems

[vast comet]

sadly yes

[warm drum]

Why using block volume to replace block is so slow?

[ionic kayak]

What should I use to detect a left click (single click on mcpe) while holding a specific item?

[misty pivot]

i made a form that lists all the players in the world into buttons but when i click it, it doesn't open the following form

const playersList = world.getPlayers();
for (let playerList of playersList) {
    formbutton(playerList.name)
    form.show(player).then((data) => {
        let result = data.selection;
        console.warn(result)
        playerInfoForm(player, playersList[result])
    })
}```

[valid ice]

what is formbutton? And why do you show the form for every player in the world?

[vast comet]

    const form = new ActionFormData()
    const players = world.getPlayers()
    for(let i = 0; i < players.length; i++) {
      form.button(players[i].name)
    }
    form.show(player).then((r) => {
      if(r.canceled) return
      const selectedPlayer = players[r.selection]
      //...
    })

[untold magnet]

im going to uae commands for detecting the edges, i need 8 lines for each direction, 4 directions gonna use 32 lines of commands...

is it gonna be laggy??

32 commands is slightly better than using onTick which is gonna be really laggy cuz u will place multiple of those blocks

lets say u have over 100 conveyors on ur world, and each one uses onTick, how laggy is it going to be?

[vast comet]

is it really any better?

[untold magnet]

idk, i can make those commands do a scriptevent that moves the entities for each direction

You can actually on air if you use certain variables

Because I used that for mobile for my SCP mod

[vast comet]

what dose that mean

[distant gulch]

Bruh

What does what mean

[vast comet]

"certain variables"

[distant gulch]

Like ya know making a custom attack time variable in API

Like the attack_time in rp

[ionic kayak]

ohh yea right

[distant gulch]

Or you could use player.json in bp to detect if punching then just add a tag and detect it in API

Both ways work

[vast comet]

mobile users cant punch air as far as i know

[distant gulch]

[distant gulch]

query.attack_time > 0.01

That's what I use all the time

[remote oyster]

I was getting ready to share the link for query functions to have it be pointed out because I was looking like, "It ain't there" haha.

[distant gulch]

I'm pretty sure v.attack_time works in bp if not then just create a custom attack in the player.json and hook it up ig idk

[valid ice]

[glacial widget]

does anyone know why this doesnt work?

const inventory = player.getComponent(`inventory`).container
const block = player.dimension.getBlock({ ...player.location, y: player.location.y + 2 })
const chest = block.getComponent(`inventory`).container

                           for (let i = 0; chest.size; i++) {
                                const item = chest.getItem(i)

                               if (item) inventory.addItem(item)
                          }

                            block.setType(`minecraft:air`)

[cinder shadow]

you are missing the for loop conditional

"chest.size" isn't compared to i

[glacial widget]

am saying the chest does not turn into air

everything else works

[cinder shadow]

okay well I don't know what the problem was, you only said "it doesn't work"

[glacial widget]

yeah my bad

so do you know why the chest does not turn into air?

[cinder shadow]

block.setType({id: 'minecraft:air'})

[glacial widget]

yeah for some reason it still does not work

[cinder shadow]

oh wait mb, you don't need the id part

block.setType('minecraft:air') works just fine

I'm honestly surprised your game isn't just crashing with your for loop

There's no way it's not

unless it just errors out

[glacial widget]

well its not

[glacial widget]

is it that bad?

[wicked shard]

bro

use

[glacial widget]

also its inside of a function so its not running globle

[wicked shard]

system.run(() => { block.setType(`minecraft:air`) });

this is gon work

trust

[glacial widget]

oh woah

is it?

[valid ice]

It would error out- if the index of the slot does not exist for the container (aka slots after 26 ), it will throw an error and exit the loop...

is that why your herobrine?

[valid ice]

huh?
