Script API General

[ionic kayak]

It’s all in one script file

[knotty plaza]

What are you trying to do in that event?

Maybe it is working but whats inside is the problem

[ionic kayak]

tried this @knotty plaza

[knotty plaza]

Just in case, you know that worldInitialize only runs once per world load right?

/reload wont make it fire again

[ionic kayak]

Ofc

Leaving the world every time

[knotty plaza]

Check your content log, maybe it showed up and dissapeared really fast

[ionic kayak]

I see nothing related to it

Uhm figured out what was wrong

[viral plaza]

is player.getDimension() a valid method

[knotty plaza]

Player has a dimension property

[viral plaza]

oh

[valid ice]

I mean if you wanted you could do world.getDimension(player.dimension.id)

[viral plaza]

thanks

Well, someone just asked if you could run a script for players in the nether so I wasn’t sure if getting their dimension was a method or not

[valid ice]

ah fair

[knotty plaza]

Thats like withdrawing money to deposit to another person's account

Instead of just transfering the money

[valid ice]

[inland merlin]

Hey herobrine what's up

[ionic kayak]

Should I add a delay to run in game commands using worldInitialize?

[inland merlin]

If your trying to send a message after world Initialize yes, probably a good 5 seconds

To make sure time to see it

If slow device

[solar dagger]

i managed to do it without chatGPT, did a lot of youtube research 😆 it did take me a while tho. And i added a little of a wave path too

[deep garden]

That's pretty cool!

[meager pulsar]

What algorithm are you using?

[winter plaza]

can you tell me or show me how to do this?

[knotty plaza]

Is your item custom or vanilla?

[solar dagger]

a lot of math xD

[knotty plaza]

?

Where do you need math?

[solar dagger]

item?

[knotty plaza]

I think you replied to the wrong message before

[shut citrus]

How ?

https://youtube.com/shorts/lV6W19veP28?si=XrkPXLuYGKr4QdBQ

is it mc bedrock feature?

[random flint]

plugin. That's Java Edition, indicated by Block Display Entities

He has the source code in his GitHub (check his main video)

[meager pulsar]

Do you just use the formula for a standard circular motion or add something else?

[burnt remnant]

can you detect if it is raining? and if so can you detect if a player is currently standing in it

[dense skiff]

Is there a way to get all of the properties on a component? Does JS allow some syntax for this or something?

[tiny tartan]

what is launch_power replacement for projectile shoot?

[untold magnet]

applyImpulse for entities and items
applyKnockback for the player

[honest spear]

that model is amazing tho

👍

[west chasm]

Here's an example of how you could do that. Also, keep in mind, the getWeather() method on the Dimension Class is currently in Beta.

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

const overworldDimension = world.getDimension("minecraft:overworld");

system.runInterval(() => {
  const isRaining = overworldDimension.getWeather() === "Rain";

  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    const playerDimension = player.dimension;
    const isOverworldDimension = playerDimension.id === overworldDimension.id;

    if (!isOverworldDimension) continue;

    const { x, y, z } = player.location;
    const topMostBlock = playerDimension.getTopmostBlock({ x, z });

    if (!topMostBlock) continue;

    const isStandingInRain = y > topMostBlock.y;

    if (isRaining && isStandingInRain) {
      world.sendMessage(`${player.name} is standing in Rain.`);
    }
  }
}, 0.1);

[slow walrus]

0.1 tick delay?

[west chasm]

It's just an example. They're free to alter it for their use-case.

[slow walrus]

that doesn't work lol, runInterval delay is in ticks

full ticks

[west chasm]

That does work.

[slow walrus]

yeah it'll do it every 1 tick

cause it rounds it

[sleek nexus]

It clearly runs 10 times every tick Omniac

[west chasm]

Oh, I thought you meant it would error.

[west chasm]

lol

[modest oasis]

guys whats wrong with my code, does world.runCommand() not valid?

server.system.run(function tick() {
    for (let player of server.world.getPlayers()) {
        managePlayerClanTags(player);
        player.nameTag = handlePlayerName(player);

        if (player.hasTag("tempestKnight")) {
            giveEffect(player, 'strength', 10, 3, true);
            giveEffect(player, 'haste', 10, 1, true);
        } else if (player.hasTag("flameOni")) {
            giveEffect(player, 'fire_resistance', 10, 255, true);
        } else if (player.hasTag("forestSpirit")) {
            giveEffect(player, 'speed', 10, 1, true);
        } else if (player.hasTag("dragonsFang")) {
            giveEffect(player, 'resistance', 10, 6, true);
            giveEffect(player, 'weakness', 10, 1, true);
            
            if (!player.hasTag("hasWings")) {
                player.addTag("hasWings");
                player.runCommandAsync(`replaceitem entity @s slot.armor.chest 0 ewings:demon_0 1 0 {"item_lock":{"mode":"lock_in_slot"},"keep_on_death":{}}`);
            }
        } else {
            if (player.hasTag("hasWings")) {
                player.removeTag("hasWings");
                player.runCommandAsync(`replaceitem entity @s slot.armor.chest 0 air`);
            }
        }
        sidebar(player);
    }


    if (server.system.currentTick % 200 === 0) {
        server.world.sendMessage("sendMessage test");
        server.world.runCommand("say runCommand test");
    }

    // Schedule the next tick
    server.system.run(tick);
});

nevermind i resolved it server.world.getDimension('overworld').runCommand()

[shy leaf]

whats the best event for bows

itemReleaseUse?

[distant tulip]

itemReleaseUse
itemStartUse
itemStopUse

[shy leaf]

whats the difference between release and stop

is release for chargeable stuff

[distant tulip]

idk
can the charge be canceled?

[shy leaf]

shrug

[burnt remnant]

would it be possible to combine it with the findClosestBiome/biometype class to make it so that it fires off with actual rain and not snow? or is there an easier way to seperate the two cause im pretty sure the game classifies snow as rain too, as well as identify if the player is in a desert/mesa or not since rain doesnt appear there

[fading sand]

How do i get the min and max property value of an enum property?

[shy leaf]

how can i get the owner of projectile that was shot by player using bow

[tiny tartan]

you want to set player as projectile owner?

[shy leaf]

no i need to give projectile to do smth when hit

wait

oh

nvm i just realized smth

nevermind the nevermind

i still need to track the owner of the projectile and store functions in there

[fiery solar]

arrow.getComponent('minecraft:projectile').owner```

[shy leaf]

ig thats the only way

ty

[grave thistle]

How do I stop world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock from firing repeatedly? I'm not using the preview, so I can't use isFirstEvent.

[shy leaf]

whatcha need beforeEvents for?

[fiery solar]

Are you trying to do a custom enchantment that can be put on a bow, or just do something for all arrows the player fires?

It might be enough to just lookup the owner in the projectileHitEntity or projectileHitBlock afterEvent

[shy leaf]

its (mostly) the former

oh wait
yeah it has source property

[grave thistle]

It needs to be a before event for what I'm doing as I don't want the player placing the block they are using on the target block

Be cancelling the block placement using e.cancel

[shy leaf]

hmmm

whats the full code

gotta see what we can do here

[grave thistle]

@shy leaf

[shy leaf]

so from a glance i think this extends ladder when placed on specific block

[grave thistle]

Using a ladder on an already placed ladder will extend the ladder down if there is space and a solid block for the ladder to attach to

Like reverse scaffolding

[green prairie]

hi, why my json ui don't work on new version

[shy leaf]

and since its beforeEvents, it can fire multiple times

hmmmmm

[grave thistle]

So if it was an afterEvent it'd fire once? Only problem then is a ladder might be placed opposite the existing ladder

[shy leaf]

yeah

this is kinda off limits to me

[grave thistle]

Script works fine atm, still gotta add the item decrement function but that's all sorted ready to be imported. It's just the rapid fire activation that's a problem. Can place enough ladders from build height to bedrock layer in like 5 seconds lol

The isFirstEvent property just needs to become available outside of the preview

[shy leaf]

just gotta hope it enters stable

[grave thistle]

Can't see why it shouldn't. It'd fix so many issues with interactions and item usage

[tiny tartan]

@grave thistle you can try this

[grave thistle]

Thanks, I'll take a look now

[solar dagger]

Yeah I have talented friends

[iron jewel]

** Glide Minigame Flashbacks intensify **

[grave thistle]

Haven't been able to test it out yet, but based on a bit of research on using Date.now() this looks like it'll fix my issue, thank you!

[fiery solar]

Sounds like you have a solution, but in general looking into the concepts of debouncing (wait until X time after the last time a function is called) and throttling (limit execution of a function to the first time it gets called in some specified period so that calling it again will do nothing until after some delay) can be pretty helpful

[shy leaf]

can dynamicproperty store function or code?

[subtle cove]

yes...

[shy leaf]

why am i asking this tbh

[subtle cove]

learn abt eval

[shy leaf]

yeah sorry

11:04 pm is kicking my brain hard

though

im scared of using eval

[subtle cove]

mhm...

[shy leaf]

cuz of its nature

i need a workaround

[subtle cove]

well, it depends on what variables are scopeable from where it's used

[shy leaf]

im making custom bow functionalities that can run codes for events like projectileHitEntity and projectileHitBlock

but im not sure what to do to store the functionalities into arrow

or... i could use Date.now() to sync the arrow and event without storing code into arrow

[sleek nexus]

Wait why? I feel like you might be overcomplicating it

[shy leaf]

could be

[sleek nexus]

I'm heading to bed now, but see if you can take a step back and look at the problem more broadly to try find a simpler solution

[shy leaf]

my brain is optimized at making the most complicated solution lmao

but yeah projectiles are kinda funky

[sleek nexus]

Yeah like getting the owner and stuff?

[shy leaf]

yeppers

getting the owner is ok

the rest of the stuff are kinda headache

[sleek nexus]

Yep nice and easy, you can store it in a dynamic property on the arrow entity (unless they've changed it and it's directly accessible now). What's the other stuff you're trying to do?

... What does "custom bow functionalities" from above entail?

[shy leaf]

its not just one bow but a whole collection of bows

with abilities? i dunno im just helping with saving an addon from HCF hell

[burnt remnant]

can someone give an example of findClosestBiome

my brain is too small to understand the microsoft doc one

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_14_0_beta.Dimension.html#findClosestBiome

this should help you understand better

Note that the findClosestBiome operation can take some time to complete, so avoid using many of these calls within a particular tick.

just in case

[sleek nexus]

Well, if the event for the arrow is predictable/deterministic i.e. The same bow type fired 3 times will always make the projectile do the same thing, you could simply store a kind of id in a dynamic property on the arrow entity, and when it hits something (in the callback event), check the id and run the appropriate block of code / function

[shy leaf]

ah thats much nicer

ty

now go to bed, ya deserve it

[sleek nexus]

Haha thanks. Yeah I gotta fix my sleep schedule. Goodnight! Let me know if you have any more questions tomorrow.

[burnt remnant]

const { x, y, z } = player.location;
player.dimension.findClosestBiome(x,y,z,"minecraft:plains")

feels so off 😭

[shy leaf]

looks ok to me

though uh

the pos part should be a vector3

player.dimension.findClosestBiome(player.location,"minecraft:plains")```

this alone should be ok

[burnt remnant]

hmm okay

how would you input an array into it since this doesnt work

player.dimension.findClosestBiome(player.location,${snowBiomeList})```

[shy leaf]

hmmm

i feel like this would make the script slow

[burnt remnant]

ooo you should see the other array i have then

let rainBiomeList = ["ocean","deep_ocean","lukewarm_ocean","deep_lukewarm_ocean","warm_ocean","deep_warm_ocean","river","beach","cold_ocean","deep_cold_ocean","forest","flower_forest","birch_forest","birch_forest_mutated","roofed_forest","jungle","jungle_edge","bamboo_jungle","mushroom_island","swampland","plains","sunflower_plains","mangrove_swamp","lush_caves","dripstone_caves","deep_dark"]

[shy leaf]

no im saying findClosestBiome is very resource heavy

[burnt remnant]

so executing it every 30 seconds would probably be bad

[shy leaf]

if youre looking for one biome in particular then it should be alright

but doing that for each

doesnt sound great

[burnt remnant]

just trying to decern that when its raining is the biome im in gonna create snow, and if so, nothing happens, only looking for rain. and when getting the weather, Rain is, rain and snow

[shy leaf]

uh

findClosestBiome returns the location of the biome

not the type...

[burnt remnant]

what

[shy leaf]

Returns a location of the biome, or undefined if a biome could not be found.```

[burnt remnant]

hmm couldnt i just get that location and detect if the player is standing in it

[shy leaf]

how are you getting the type of the biome the player is standing at

(genuinely a question)

((i dunno how))

[shy leaf]

you gotta consider how wide the biome might be

im not sure if the script returns the center of the closest biome

or the location of the closest biome border

[burnt remnant]

well if this is how you say it is and itll give me the location of the biome, i assume i can compare that ouput with the player's current position and if its the same then idk command fire that says hi for now. but like you are saying right now idk where the number it gives me is, i might have to do a range, if the player is at least 50 blocks close

[shy leaf]

[burnt remnant]

if its the same logic as the locate command it wont be the center of the biome, i was flying around using it earlier and when in the biome i was firing it and it kept taking me to different spots inside the biome

up to 45 blocks away

idk this is way out of my league

[shrewd wedge]

e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("evo:voids_edge", {
        onUse(e) {
            const player = e.source;

            const dimension = player.dimension;

            player.startItemCooldown("custom", 20);

            });
        }
    });

How to fix apply knock back? I want entity to be pulled to player who use sword

But it don't work. Player only go in positive x direct

[keen thorn]

idk if im right but i think instead of location you need direction

@shrewd wedge

e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("evo:voids_edge", {
        onUse(e) {
            const player = e.source;
            const xyz = player.location;
            const dir = player.getRotation();
            const dimension = player.dimension;

            player.startItemCooldown("custom", 20);
            player.playSound("mob.enderdragon.flap");
            player.runCommandAsync("particle evo:voids_edge_particle ~~~");

            let nearbyEntities = dimension.getEntities({
                location: xyz,
                maxDistance: 10,
                excludeTypes: ["minecraft:item", "minecraft:xp_orb"]
            });

            nearbyEntities = nearbyEntities.filter(entity => entity !== player);

            nearbyEntities.forEach(entity => {
                entity.runCommandAsync("particle ptg:voids_edge_particle ~~~")
                entity.applyKnockback(dir.x, dir.y, 1, 0.3);
            });
        }
    });

hey sorry I habe notification off

Thank you

Hey i test and did not work

Entitys goes out not pull in, how to make it pull in instead

[grave thistle]

I've looked into throttling and it sounds like a better method than applying properties to an object. However, with what I'm trying to achieve, wouldn't multiple players trying to extend ladders lock other players out of doing the same during the throttle cooldown?

i.e. the throttle lasts for 5 seconds. Player 1 places a ladder triggering the throttle but then player 2 goes to place a ladder 1 second in to the throttle's duration and it doesn't allow the ladder placement

[shy leaf]

what about storing the duration into player

(i actually just found out about throttling so i have no idea)

[sudden nest]

don't forget to use try-catch:

try {
  for (let x = WORLD_MIN.x; x < WORLD_MAX.x; x++) {
    for (let y = WORLD_MIN.y; y < WORLD_MAX.y; y++) {
      for (let z = WORLD_MIN.z; z < WORLD_MAX.z; z++) {
        const block = world.getDimension('overworld').getBlock({x: x, y: y, z: z})
        if (!block?.isValid()) continue;
        if (block.isTree()) world.sendMessage('Found a tree!');
      }
    }
  }
} catch (e) {
  throw "No tree"
}

[grave thistle]

I've sorted my problem now thanks to Kira. I've only just learnt about throttling and debouncing and it sounds like a cool way of adding function delays. Not only that, I've only just learnt that functions can be passed as values of a property (still learning js lol, all self taught atm with occasional help from AI when I need something explaining)

[shy leaf]

got it working, ty

[sleek nexus]

Nice! Well done

[shy leaf]

just to make sure, can .owner property on projectile component return the owner?

the one im doing rn is very inefficient and i cant redo the code since i dont have access to minecraft rn

[odd path]

Can someone help me resolve a function error? I can't find the problem

[shy leaf]

the owner property in jayly's script docs doesnt mention about return so i was wondering

[shy leaf]

im planning to rewrite the code to use entitySpawn + itemReleaseUse afterEvents to store the function id so that i can replace the abomination i made

[shy leaf]

whats the issue

[odd path]

I think it would be easier to use nameTag, so you can always be sure that you own an entity

[shy leaf]

dynamic property could work then

[odd path]

"not a function error"
I checked the whole script and I can't understand why this problem is happening...

[shy leaf]

that would require reviewing the whole code

[odd path]

It's a small code... The runCommand that is bringing the error

@shy leaf

I just can't find what is causing this bug to happen

function arrestEnemy(player) {
    const entitiesInView = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 4 })

    if (entitiesInView.length > 0) {
        const nearestEnemy = entitiesInView[0]
        const playerPos = player.location
        const playerRotation = player.getRotation()

        const offsetX = 1.5 * Math.sin((playerRotation.y + 90) * (Math.PI / 180))
        const offsetZ = 1.5 * Math.cos((playerRotation.y + 90) * (Math.PI / 180))
        const newX = playerPos.x + offsetX
        const newZ = playerPos.z + offsetZ
        const newY = playerPos.y

        nearestEnemy.runCommand(`tp @s ${newX} ${newY} ${newZ}`)
    }
}

[shy leaf]

which line is it pointing at?

[odd path]

nearestEnemy gives the error "not a function", but it doesn't make sense

[odd path]

It is pointing to the nearestEnemy.runCommand line

[shy leaf]

i see the issue

[odd path]

But the problem is not what is inside the command, because when I took it out, it continued with the error

[shy leaf]

since entitiesInView returns an arrary of it, youd need to do forEach or for loop

[odd path]

So in this case it would be:

for nearestEnemy = entitiesInView[0]

?

This doesn't make sense to me, because in another function it doesn't generate errors, but I'll test it

[shy leaf]

no

try

for (const e of entitiesInView) {
    e.runCommand('say Hello World!');
}```

[odd path]

I see, so in this case the problem is that runCommand cannot call the array

I will test

[shy leaf]

yeah

[true isle]

Is it possible to cycle through textures for for a block face with permutations that change the texture for a material instance? If that makes any sence

[shy leaf]

sounds possible

very possible

with block states

[true isle]

Yeah I tried and I'm not really getting anywhere I even had help with it but idk what I did wrong I have a thing open if anyone could help

[mystic mortar]

I know paddles for sure wouldn't work.

Anyone able to help with this?
https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1277805139201232970

[fiery solar]

Yeah, owner will contain the owner if there is one (which there will be unless an arrow is spawned directly or fired by a dispenser)

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

You should be able to do it without itemReleaseUse

[shy leaf]

ty

[shy leaf]

now im kinda facing another issue
im storing bow's typeid into projectile's dynamic property to determine which function to fire, but im kinda worried if the dynamic property will be nullified since the projectile would be destroyed upon hit

i could use Map for this but i kinda want to preserve it until the projectile dies

[deep quiver]

Set the property directly onto the arrow

[shy leaf]

thats what i did

well idk i havent tested it and i might be overthinking but

projectiles are wack

[deep quiver]

https://github.com/jeanmajid/MCPE-BowExtension/blob/main/scripts/events/projectileEvents.js

You can’t really do much if their killed before script api gets them

[muted wing]

i just shat mysel

f

[shy leaf]

i did check it but doesnt this function by storing data into bow

[deep quiver]

Ye both

[shrewd wedge]

How to remove item stack when use? I try item.amount--; but it say "cannot be less 0 greater 256" in log

would using clear command cause error?

[deep quiver]

But its mostly relient on the arrow one

[shy leaf]

hmmmm

[deep quiver]

Check the amount first if its 0 don’t decrement

[shy leaf]

what item are you trying at

[shrewd wedge]

But if 0 then I have none?

[deep quiver]

Ye

[solar dagger]

You do setItem(undefined)

Something like that

[shrewd wedge]

like a item that drops when players die. It gives effects when use

[shy leaf]

wouldnt that destroy the whole itemStack

unless thats what theyre trying

[shrewd wedge]

No I try to remove by 1 when use,

But I have one in hotbar, use and it say cannot be less 0

[shy leaf]

are you using beforeEvents for itemUse?

[shrewd wedge]

No custom component

[shy leaf]

oh

[shrewd wedge]

onUse

[shy leaf]

its hard to tell without checking the code

[solar dagger]

This probably happens when you have it on a loop or something like that

Does anybody know the polar Rotation? I'm trying to setup a custom path for an entity using this. I searched on YouTube, I can't seem to find anything useful for what I'm trying to do

[shrewd wedge]

It's not

[shy leaf]

can you post the block of the code

[shrewd wedge]

e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("evo:skull", {
        onUse(e) {
            const player = e.source;
            const itemStack = e.itemStack;
            const container = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
            player.runCommandAsync("effect @s regeneration 5 1 true");
            player.runCommandAsync("effect @s absorption 5 0 true");
            player.startItemCooldown("skull", 20);
            itemStack.amount--;
            container.setItem(slot, itemStack);
        }
    });
});

[shy leaf]

now i see it

[shrewd wedge]

It say when use: "item amount cannot be less than 0"

[shy leaf]

const item = player.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Mainhand');```

youre trying to get the inventory instead of the item used

[shrewd wedge]

Ohh ok thank you

[solar dagger]

Can't you just use the world event for itemUse?

Also you can set effects to the player via addEffect

[shrewd wedge]

Yes

[shrewd wedge]

What is difference

[solar dagger]

Literally nothing tbh

player.addEffect('conduit_power', 2400, {showParticles: false});

It's the same thing

[shy leaf]

actually, nevermind. since itemUse already gives you itemStack, the code i gave you would be unnecessary

[shrewd wedge]

Oh

ok I habe question, if I use clear command, does it clear item you are holding or is random?

[solar dagger]

Doesn't the clear CMD clear your hotbar?

[shrewd wedge]

like if I habe one item in hand, and one in inventory, does it random choose one

[shy leaf]

it clears your entire inventory unless you define which item by amount

[shrewd wedge]

no

I know if I only clear 1 of the item, then will it be random which it clear?

[solar dagger]

Sorry i haven't touched the cmds in years 😂

[shrewd wedge]

It's ok

[shy leaf]

im pretty sure theres no 'random item clear'

[shrewd wedge]

no, sorry hard to explain

[shrewd wedge]

ok I habe one item in hand right? And one item in inventory. And I use item in hand. I do clear item of one. Does game choose one in hand, in inventory or is random

That is what I mean

[shy leaf]

for that? pretty sure it goes in this order

[solar dagger]

If you want to specify the slot you can do something like this

invComp.setItem(slotId, undefined);

[shrewd wedge]

Oh ok

Do you habe link to document of this? I don't see in player

[solar dagger]

It's going to be in Entity

Get component inventory

Something like that

[shy leaf]

const heldItem = player.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipmentSlot('Mainhand');```

use this as slot instead

[solar dagger]

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

[shrewd wedge]

Ohh ok. So I do inventory.setItem(heldItem, itemStack--;)

[solar dagger]

Uh no the undefined already removed 1

[shy leaf]

the undefined removes 1??

instead of clearing it?

[solar dagger]

I stand corrected

It clears the slot apperantly

So I'm assuming the whole stack

[shrewd wedge]

???

[shy leaf]

yeah since it reduces itemStack into atoms

[shy leaf]

you can replace slot in your setItem with the heldItem i gave you

[shrewd wedge]

But error was that it said the item amount can not be less 0

I was holding one

[shy leaf]

you didnt have slot defined, that could be the issue

[shrewd wedge]

Ok I check, thank you

[solar dagger]

Oh that's true

[prisma shard]

world.afterEvents.itemCompleteUse.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const { itemStack, source } = eventData;
    if (itemStack.typeId === "your item typeid") {
        source.runCommandAsync(`the command you want to execute`);
    };
});```

what do you mean by go down????

[shrewd wedge]

It work thank you

[shrewd wedge]

Like decrement the item stack how it was ins events

[unreal cove]

They said on consume so itemCompleteUse fits better here, itemUse will run on just use

that or custom components with onConsume works too

[prisma shard]

#1067870274894172260

[prisma shard]

oh ok

[prisma shard]

the item's amount or the item's durability?

function decreaseItem(itemStack, decreaseAmount) {
  itemStack.amount -= decreaseAmount;
  return itemStack;
};

  // function usage
  const inv = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
  const newItem = decreaseItem(itemStack, 1); 
  inv.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, newItem);

@shrewd wedge ^

i had a function for decreasing item durability, i just changed it to itemStack.amount

i think you wanted to decrease the amount of the item, not the item's durability...right?

just change the selectedSlotIndex if you dont want to do this with the hand eqquiped item

or wanna do with any inventory item

whatever

[nimble schooner]

How to set a block a sign with a specific text content?

[sleek nexus]

Use this component
https://stirante.com/script/server/1.13.0/classes/BlockSignComponent.html

That page has a snippet that provides everything you need 👍

[shy leaf]

i ended up using Map

at least it works perfectly

[nimble schooner]

How would I do a location.dimension.getBlock for the location of for example 0 1 2? Would I use ({x: 0, y: 1, z: 2})?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[nimble schooner]

Is there an article for set blocks?

[granite badger]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_13_0.Block.html#setPermutation

[distant tulip]

setPermutation?

[distant tulip]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_13_0.Dimension.html#getBlock

[nimble schooner]

Thank you!

[fallow rivet]

playerInteractWithEntity

Is it possible to use this to stop a player from hitting another player?

[nimble schooner]

👌

[nimble schooner]

If there would be a beforeEvent

As far as I know you can‘t do that, only with editing the player.json

[fallow rivet]

Alright

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(data => {
     const player = data.player;
     const entity = data.entity;

        console.warn('test')
});

How can you make this work?

[nimble schooner]

Idk you‘d have to ask someone who has a good overview over the documents

It theoretically makes sense but I don‘t know how entity and player are called in that case

[nimble schooner]

There actually seems to be a before event, I just don‘t know if you are able to cancel attacks with that, here‘s more information about it

[shy leaf]

no

you can prevent damage using entity json but you cant cancel the attack

[nimble schooner]

Yeah

I tried to use that beforeEvent

But it doesn‘t cancel attack on cancel

[shy leaf]

playerInteractWithEntity is for right clicking so

[nimble schooner]

On mobile it‘s long clicking lol

[fallow rivet]

Why is this happening?

[shy leaf]

can you tell the issue

[fallow rivet]

Shouldn't it be running in 11 to 11 position?

[nimble schooner]

Wait how did you open that in your Minecraft tab,

Do you use Android?

[shy leaf]

its a feature for most phones

[fallow rivet]

Yea

[nimble schooner]

Not on my IPhone 😭

[shy leaf]

rip

[fallow rivet]

The phone I use has a side window feature.

Thanks to this I do it

[fallow rivet]

The iPhone is very advanced but for some reason it does not contain some basic features.

[shy leaf]

iphone isnt advanced tbh

[nimble schooner]

Well, it‘s faster than my Android

And it doesn‘t run out that fast

[shy leaf]

but coding in iOS does not go well

at all

[nimble schooner]

Yeah

Code Editor exists too

[shy leaf]

to be fair coding in mobile is frustrating but

all the iphone's """policy""" makes everything harder (at least in my eyes)

[nimble schooner]

I‘ve never coded on a pc

So for me it‘s life

🫠

[shy leaf]

though i do recommend getting a phone with high ram if youre getting one someday

so that you dont go insane

[fallow rivet]

In my eyes, the iPhone is a trash

[fallow rivet]

?

It should work in 11 to 11 coordinates but it doesn't.

[summer walrus]

u gotta experiment on it bro

try diff operators like !== or === instead of <= or >= and why are the coords duplicated

[nimble schooner]

How do I system.clearRunInterval();?

[shy leaf]

its system.clearRun()

system.runInterval() returns a unique id so that you can use it

const interval = system.runInterval(() => {
    //code
});
system.clearRun(interval)```

[nimble schooner]

I just wanted to put it into a system.runInterval itself lol

[shy leaf]

not sure if you can do that

keyword: not sure

i havent tested it

[slow walrus]

the coordinates displayed are rounded, so technically you're actually at some number between 11 and 10.5, so it shows 11, but your script doesn't

block positions are measured from the NW corner iirc

[slow walrus]

what do you need it for?

[slow walrus]

you can

[nimble schooner]

Can the player leave before event cancel player leave?

Is there a player death after event?

[slow walrus]

no

[shy leaf]

ofc not

[shy leaf]

also there is entityDie afterEvents

[nimble schooner]

Is there a way to cancel a system.runTimeout?

[shy leaf]

honestly not sure about this one

[shy leaf]

you can try with the same thing here

[slow walrus]

yes, use clearRun

[glacial widget]

is there a way to face a player when using the .teleport notation?

[wheat condor]

player.teleport(player.location, { facingLocation: anotherPlayer.location })

[plush moss]

spawnEntitiesInArea([startX, startY, startZ], [endX, endY, endZ], entitiesToSpawn, entityType);

is it posible to spawn the entity only as an adult?

[glacial widget]

oh i found another way

player.teleport({ x: -315, y: 138, z: 36 }, 
            {
               facingLocation: targetLocationShop
            }
          );

however thank you

[steady zinc]

What's the difference between system.run() and system.runJob() ?

[honest spear]

system run expect function to run, but runJob expects Generator to execute

[steady zinc]

Generator? Never heard of that xD

[honest spear]

Corutines?

[steady zinc]

I don't know that either

[honest spear]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think you don't need to know then

[woven loom]

@beta no more returns preview exp?

[honest spear]

@beta returns experimental module from last release, so if stable is released it overwrites

[woven loom]

hm

[tight plume]

How do i get the location the entity is facing because im trying to recreate the random sheep eating grass then turning it into dirt.
I cant trust this code so much since the location could be on the side of the entity which doesn't make sense at all:

const blockEaten = dim.getBlock({
  x: entity.location.x,
  y: entity.location.y - 1,
  z: entity.location.z + 1
});
blockEaten.setPermutation(
  BlockPermutation.resolve('minecraft:dirt')
);

[distant gulch]

getPlayers is only get online player?

[subtle cove]

same with getAllPlayers, yes

[distant gulch]

ty

cant get offline player?

[subtle cove]

no

do u need the name or scoreboard, or something else?

[shy leaf]

wait

it doesnt consider lan players??

[celest fable]

is it possible to do multi threading?

[subtle cove]

whichever player entity is executable in the world

[shy leaf]

oh

i had a brainfard for a second

i took offline as internet offline

☠️

[distant gulch]

i have name

but how can i get just player not name, id or something

[shy leaf]

would you like to go to dms? i can speak korean

[subtle cove]

if the player isnt offline, then its not possible to get the Player.prototype

but its possible to manage its ScoreboardIdentity

[honest spear]

Ya, there is no native instance for offline players, only accessible are scoreboards that are linked to entities and players
||Player.prototype is always accessible||

[distant gulch]

ty

[celest fable]

btw how do you make add method player.tell? like override the player and add method tell that basically sendMessage but with prefix

[honest spear]

Player.prototype.tell = function tell(params){
  this.sendMessage(...params); //this is player instance
}

[shy leaf]

welp

time to have some headache

[shy leaf]

now this is weird

it did get the object normally

but now it just refuses?

[remote oyster]

Find the bug lol

[shy leaf]

ah yes

time to dive into

hundreds of lines of code...

[remote oyster]

Lol

[sharp elbow]

Always name your functions. Then it becomes easier to debug.

[shy leaf]

well i did

but

[shy leaf]

this does not tell anything lmao

it just tells me "hey im not getting this data"

"over there"

[sharp elbow]

The stack trace is relatively short, so it should be easy to find a start

[shy leaf]

i ask "why", they reply with " "

[sharp elbow]

What is the anonymous function at ItemsFunctionalities/itemHandler.js on line 186? I'm betting it is an event subscription

[shy leaf]

yeah its an event

[cold grove]

JSON.parse() issue??

[shy leaf]

no parse is used

i dunno why cuz the event gives an object

and sends the object to other scripts

but it doesnt convert?... object

[sharp elbow]

You are sending the event object to other functions? Minecraft could be garbage collecting it before it can be used

Maybe it could be worthwhile making a shallow copy of the event object. Something like (e) => {const event = {...e};}

[shy leaf]

gotcha

i think garbage collecting is the issue here, this started once i added some codes for bows

[honest spear]

Nah, event data objects are no longer free-ed by native end, so this is not the case here

[shy leaf]

[sharp elbow]

No longer? I'm curious, when did that change

[honest spear]

about 4 months ago

maybe more but not sure

[sharp elbow]

Long enough that I am a bit silly for not having noticed lol

[honest spear]

@sharp elbow Not sure which update it was but this is the date of my notice
07/12/2023

lmao

[sharp elbow]

Ah, so about a year ago 😆

[honest spear]

yes

[shy leaf]

BUG SQUASHED

my statics were like

static weapon(id,eventData)```

but i forgot it was supposed to be
```js
static weapon(eventData,id)```

the object was kept sending to id part

[granite badger]

Stats (using the api)

[wary edge]

Personally, I woouldve done id, data

[shy leaf]

yeah

imma redo the code

id, data looks better in eyes

[nimble schooner]

How to get those?

[granite badger]

I made that

[nimble schooner]

I mean how to get the player stats

Those which you can view on player‘s profile

Or are the shown stats for your world only and counted by your system?

[subtle cove]

If its on scoreboard, then world
if dynamic property, then pack

[slow walrus]

are dynamic props really per pack?

I did not know that lmao

[subtle cove]

per pack uuid

regardless of pack version

but i havent tried working two packs same uuid, but diff ver

[slow walrus]

in that case, global dynamic props would be hella nice

[valid ice]

I wouldn’t lol
I don’t think Minecraft likes that

I did it by accident the other night, and it said I applied one pack but it was actually the other one

[subtle cove]

it chooses the higher version?

[valid ice]

Both had the same version

I just copied over one of my packs in its entirety, removed a bunch of stuff & changed the pack name (But forgot to change the UUIDs), and said it added the new pack to the world, but all the stuff in-game was the old pack stuff.

[slow walrus]

iirc each world caches it's packs so if the version wasn't different, then it wouldn't have updated it

[valid ice]

It was a dev pack, however- and I deleted all the world BP json files & the folder for the BP.

[slow walrus]

pack path was probably still pointing to the old one

[buoyant canopy]

i wonder if an addon can access the dynamic properties of another addon?

[wary edge]

No

[wanton ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/skythor-skales-pythor-ninjago-serpentine-gif-15960671200612345293

No..

My life is ruined

[buoyant canopy]

interesting, so i don't have to worry about my addons interfering with other addons of the dp share the same name

[wheat condor]

no

[buoyant canopy]

that's... convenient

[fallow rivet]

I am making a claim system and I am thinking of using dynamicproperty to save the data.

Do you have any other advice?

[valid ice]

That works

[sage portal]

is there any event to detect when an entity shoots a projectile?

[wary edge]

EntitySpawn?

[sage portal]

we can detect the entity that spawns it?

[subtle cove]

projectile have owner property in its "projectile" component

[sage portal]

I feel like there should be a shorter route to reach this, but that sounds like it'll work, thanks.

[grave thistle]

I have a function that scans the player's hotbar for an item. How do I check if that item is a block? I'm using if (hotbarItem instanceof Block) { but it's not working

Is it because even though it's a block, it's still technically an item since it's in my inventory

[winter plaza]

help

mc.world.afterEvents.itemCompleteUse.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const { itemStack, source } = eventData;
    if (itemStack.typeId === "your item typeid") {
        source.runCommandAsync(`the command you want to execute`);
    };
});

[valid ice]

What are your imports? And did you swap the your item typeid & the command you want to execute parts for your own usage?

[winter plaza]

yes I changed

[wheat condor]

Then what’s wrong?

[winter plaza]

says it doesn't exist

[valid ice]

Can you show the actual code you are running in-game, then?

[winter plaza]

yes

wait a few minutes

[wheat condor]

What doesn’t exist? You need to be more specific and tell all the details if you want I someone to assist you

[shrewd wedge]

How to make apply knock back go in direction of person who use sword

[wheat condor]

You mean you want the knockback to send the player away from the sword or closer?

[valid ice]

get the user's view direction and apply that to the knockback amounts

[shrewd wedge]

Closer. So when player use sword it pull in player and entities

[shrewd wedge]

But problem is that if player use sword while looking away, players nearby will be pulled in wrong direction

[valid ice]

wdym?

Oh, use sword, not hit with sword

[shrewd wedge]

So when player uses the sword, I want to have it pull nearby entity towards who used

When I use direction sometimes entity pull in wrong direction

[valid ice]

In that case, you'd need to get the x & z (and maybe y) vector between the two entities

[shrewd wedge]

I try and do player.location and use apply knock back to player who use sword x and z but it not work?

[shrewd wedge]

How?

[winter plaza]

Sorry, it worked, it was another script that was giving conflict and saying it didn't exist

more thanks too

[valid ice]

    const dx = otherEntity.location.x - source.location.x;
    const dy = otherEntity.location.y - source.location.y;
    const dz = otherEntity.location.z - source.location.z;
    const magnitude = Math.hypot(dx, dy, dz);
    otherEntity.applyKnockback(dx / magnitude, dz / magnitude, 1, 1);``` maybe something like the this

[shrewd wedge]

Thank you! Sorry am not good at math haha

I try

[valid ice]

You may need to swap the two locations- can't recall if source or otherEntity should be first.

(can also just chuck a negative in front of the dx & dz in the applyKnockback part too)

[wheat condor]

const kb = {};
Object.keys(player.getViewDirection()).forEach(key => {
    kb[key] = -player.getViewDirection()[key];
})
HitEntity.applyKnockback(kb.x , kb.z , 1 , kb.y)

[wheat condor]

This will send the player near the player

[valid ice]

Wouldn't it be better to use Object.entries() instead of recalling the getViewDirection method for every direction?

[shrewd wedge]

e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("evo:voids_edge", {
        onUse(e) {
            const player = e.source;
            const xyz = player.location;
            const dir = player.getViewDirection();
            const dimension = player.dimension;

            player.startItemCooldown("custom", 20);
            player.playSound("mob.enderdragon.flap");
            player.runCommandAsync("particle evo:voids_edge_particle ~~~");

            let nearbyEntities = dimension.getEntities({
                location: xyz,
                maxDistance: 10,
                excludeTypes: ["minecraft:item", "minecraft:xp_orb"]
            });

            nearbyEntities = nearbyEntities.filter(entity => entity !== player);

            nearbyEntities.forEach(entity => {
    	    const dx = entity.location.x - xyz.x;
            const dy = entity.location.y - xyz.y;
            const dz = entity.location.z - xyz.z;
            const magnitude = Math.hypot(dx, dy, dz);
            entity.applyKnockback(dx / magnitude, dz / magnitude, 1, 1); 
            
                entity.runCommandAsync("particle evo:voids_edge_particle ~~~")
            });
        }
    }); 

Ok this pull nearby entity?

[valid ice]

try it and see

[shrewd wedge]

Ok

[sage portal]

Is there something I don't know about the percent symbol here? In any other situation, the % will work just fine, but no matter how I try to format it here, the symbol just... doesn't show up.

announced.sendMessage(`Health: ${health + "%"}`)
announced.sendMessage(`Health: ${health} + "%"`)```

[valid ice]

Try double percent symbol

Single is used for translation keys in certain strings, and the way the game parses it is a bit goofy

It's my pet peeve that single percent shows up on the item name in the inventory, but it does not in the item name when held- the one above the hotbar

[wheat condor]

const vDir = Player.getViewDirection()

const kb = {};
Object.entries(vDir).forEach(([key, value]) => {
    kb[key] = -value;
})

Now?

[wise raft]

How can I do something if a Player uses an Item for x seconds?

[shrewd wedge]

Hey, is not work

[sage portal]

I'm honestly surprised that worked, thanks

[shrewd wedge]

It pull entity away and up not towards

[sage portal]

either I'm doing something wrong, or it doesn't work.
I don't think the owner is a value to be returned, only set

[wheat condor]

Mine doesn’t?

[shrewd wedge]

This is what I try

But if player who use sword is not looking at player who got pulled, player gets pulled in other direction

[wheat condor]

What? How can the player hit someone without looking at him?

[shrewd wedge]

It is not when hit

Ability used when click item

Custom component

[wheat condor]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Wait a sec

[shrewd wedge]

It supposed to pull every entity 10 blocks towards the xyz of player who use sword but everything I try does not work

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, the code I use just pull entity up and away not close

[wheat condor]

const pLoc = player.location
const eLoc = hitEntity.location

const kb = Object.fromEntries(
    Object.entries(pLoc).map(([key, value]) => [key, value - eLoc[key]])
)
hitEntity.applyknockback(-kb.x,-kb.z,(Math.abs(kb.x)+math.abs(kb.z)), -kb.y)

This should work

[fallow rivet]

system.runInterval(()=>{
world.getPlayers().forEach(player=>{
const test1 = (player.location.x <= 13 && player.location.x >= -13) && (player.location.z <= 13 && player.location.z >= -13)
 
player.runCommand(`title @s actionbar ${test1}`)

Shouldn't it work when x is 13 and z is 13?

why am I getting a reference error

[gray tinsel]

I would move this to it's own thread

[wheat condor]

system.runInterval(() => {
    world.getPlayers().forEach(player => {
        const { x, z } = player.location
        const test1 = Math.abs(x) <= 13 && Math.abs(z) <= 13
        player.runCommand(`title @s actionbar ${test1}`)
    })
})

This is simpler

[chilly moth]

hm

[gray tinsel]

just to help avoid it getting lost mostly

also provide the script error

as in the raw error from logs

[cold grove]

But send the error

Ah i see..

You are referencing multiple times unexistant variables

[chilly moth]

[Scripting][error]-Unhandled promise rejection: ReferenceError: 'customUi' is not defined

[Scripting][error]-Unhandled promise rejection: ReferenceError: 'ui' is not defined

@cold grove

[cold grove]

Reference correctly your variables

const ui = new ActionFormData();
//...
form.show(); // 'form'??? Where??

This is what are you doing rn

[chilly moth]

uh

let me try

[cold grove]

Also, you cant use local variables outside his function

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

    ui.show(player).then((r) => { // Use 'ui' here instead of 'form'
        if (r.canceled) return;
        if (r.selection === 0) {
            player.runCommandAsync('say a');
        }
    });
}

            world.sendMessage(`Button ${res} Has Been Pressed!`);
            break;
        }
    }
});

[chilly moth]

[Scripting][error]-Unhandled promise rejection: TypeError: cannot read property 'selection' of undefined

it works but still shows this error

[valid ice]

You can do if (r.canceled) return;

so if the form was canceled (e.g. no button selected but still closed) it'll just stop the code

[chilly moth]

where in actually?

[valid ice]

.show(player).then(r => {
if (r.canceled) return;
...

[chilly moth]

ok

[remote oyster]

Both form functions would need that.

I didn't include it since I didn't know what your plan was going forward.

[chilly moth]

ui.show(player).then((r) => {

if (r.canceled) return;
// Use 'ui' here instead of 'form'
if (r.selection === 0) {
player.runCommandAsync('say a');
}
});
}

ok

[valid ice]

hol up

why is it selection of undefined

[remote oyster]

I edited my response to include it

[valid ice]

does that not imply that r is undefined?

[west chasm]

The reason for that is this section of code. The CustomUi function doesn't return anything.

        case "minecraft:clock": {
            const res = await CustomUi(source); // Changed from 'customUi.show(source)' to 'await CustomUi(source)'
            world.sendMessage(`Button ${res.selection} Has Been Pressed!`);
            break;
        }

[remote oyster]

That's a valid point

[valid ice]

ohh that's the problem section

[west chasm]

#1278065220018897159 message

[remote oyster]

The custom UI function is incomplete anyways, so when they add more functionality to it then they can have it return as needed.

I modified the above to return r.selection to appease the res call in sendMessage

[tight plume]

bump

[glacial widget]

is there a way to add a cooldown for itemUse ?

[shy leaf]

cooldown as in?

[glacial widget]

the time you have to wait to use the item again

[shy leaf]

similar to ender pearls?

[glacial widget]

world.afterEvents.itemCompleteUse.subscribe((r) =>{
    const {source:player, itemStack:item, useDuration:time} = r
    switch(item.typeId){
        case "minecraft:ender_pearl":
            time = 1000

        break;

        case "minecraft:enchanted_golden_apple":

        break;
    }
})

yh pretty much what am tryna do

[shy leaf]

isnt useDuration in ticks? let me check

[glacial widget]

ItemStack#starCooldown ?

[cold grove]

Wait hehe

1st check if item its in cooldow
ItemCooldownComponent#getCooldownTicksRemaining

Run and set cooldown
ItemCooldownComponent#startCooldown

[shy leaf]

startcooldown is related with cooldown component inside the item

[glacial widget]

oh really?

[shy leaf]

yeah

[glacial widget]

should they be imported?

[shy leaf]

nah

[cold grove]

1st check if item its in cooldow
ItemCooldownComponent#getCooldownTicksRemaining

If its not, run actions and set cooldown
ItemCooldownComponent#startCooldown

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

[shy leaf]

getting 'cooldown' component from itemStack can do

[distant tulip]

not all items have a cooldown

[shy leaf]

yeah

if youre trying to make a custom cooldown via scripts, try using this

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_13_0.ItemUseBeforeEvent.html

[distant tulip]

something like this can work

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

[cold grove]

const cd = <ItemStack>.getComponent(ItemComponentTypes.Cooldown);

if (cd.getCooldownTicksRemaining(<player>) > 0)  return;

// Do item action

cd.startCooldown(<player>);

[cold grove]

Ah, right

[distant tulip]

...

[shy leaf]

whats the best way to deal with error thats thrown for executing code outside the loaded area

its not a big deal but the error kinda bothers me

[muted wing]

yo

do yall know how to call a function and have it continue even if it errors?

[shy leaf]

what function is it and what error is it throwing

[muted wing]

well

im just wondering

[cold grove]

thats a bad practice... but, use try {} catch () {}

[shy leaf]

try { 
        //code
} catch (e) { console.warn(e) }

[muted wing]

i cant find

cath

[muted wing]

thanks

thats

something else

[muted wing]

oh

[glacial widget]

let me try

[cold grove]

for vanilla ones just use this #1067535608660107284 message

[distant tulip]

1000 is the cooldown in ms

[glacial widget]

oh alright

[grave thistle]

Is there a way to check if a held item is a block?

[west chasm]

I haven't really done anything like that previously. However, I believe you can do something like this.

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

// If it's not a block, it will be undefined.
const blockCheck = BlockTypes.get(heldItem.typeId);

[shy leaf]

how can i get the itemStack from equippable component it if the item breaks or runs out

cuz it returns undefined

i feel like i had a workaround but i kinda forgot

maybe i could add a beforeEvent itemUse to store the item and then give it to functions

[cold grove]

system.runInterval(() => { 
    world.getPlayers().forEach((player) => {
        const comp = player.getComponent('equippable');
        const head = comp.getEquipment('Head');
        if (!head && player._head) console.log('head equip off');
        player._head =  head;
    });
});

[shy leaf]

hmm i cant really use runInterval

[cold grove]

Huh

[shy leaf]

yeah

[fiery solar]

You could create a property lastItemType and update it any time you read the itemType for a slot

[shy leaf]

beforeEvents time

[stoic ocean]

guyy is there anyone know if i use tp command with location is ^^^0.3 so how it looklike in scripts . i meant how location like that look like in scripts
player.teleport({?})

[granite badger]

you have to manually code that, here’s my version to see how it works https://jaylydev.github.io/posts/better-mace/#cutscene

[stoic ocean]

.-. ukmmmmm

[chilly fractal]

Yo anyone know how to get the block placed?

(In the playerPlaceBlock beforeEvent)

I haven't touched scripting api in a while and I'm back, lots of cool things are here

But seems they haven't really added a method to get the block being placed

[valid ice]

permutationBeingPlaced

[chilly fractal]

The location

You gave me this script in 1.12.0-beta if I recall correctly

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

const faceOffset = new Map([
  [Direction.East, { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }], [Direction.West, { x: -1, y: 0, z: 0 }],
  [Direction.Up, { x: 0, y: 1, z: 0 }], [Direction.Down, { x: 0, y: -1, z: 0 }],
  [Direction.South, { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 }], [Direction.North, { x: 0, y: 0, z: -1 }],
]);

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe((data) => {
  let { player, block, face, permutationToPlace, dimension } = data, item = player.getComponent('inventory').container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
  let offset = faceOffset.get(face);
  let newLocation = { x: block.location.x - offset.x, y: block.location.y - offset.y, z: block.location.z - offset.z}; // new block, but doesn't  work
});

I edited it a bit

So here's what I'm tryna do, I'm tryna something like the pc block picking up, when u shift break a block in creative it actually makes a random id and saves the structure name as the ID and puts the ID in the items lore, and yes I tested it, the saving part is fine I can load it using /structure load but, it doesn't seem to override the block I am placing.

Here's the full script:

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

const faceOffset = new Map([
  [Direction.East, { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }], [Direction.West, { x: -1, y: 0, z: 0 }],
  [Direction.Up, { x: 0, y: 1, z: 0 }], [Direction.Down, { x: 0, y: -1, z: 0 }],
  [Direction.South, { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 }], [Direction.North, { x: 0, y: 0, z: -1 }],
]);

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe((data) => {
  let { player, block, face, permutationToPlace, dimension } = data, item = player.getComponent('inventory').container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
  if (!item || !item.getLore()[0] || !item.getLore()[0].startsWith('ID: ')) return;
  let offset = faceOffset.get(face);
  let newLocation = { x: block.location.x - offset.x, y: block.location.y - offset.y, z: block.location.z - offset.z};
  system.runTimeout(() => {
    let itemID = item.getLore()[0].split(' ')[1];
    player.dimension.runCommandAsync(`structure load ${itemID} ${Object.values(newLocation).reverse().join(' ')}`);
    player.dimension.runCommandAsync(`structure delete ${itemID}`);
  }, 2);
});

[valid ice]

permutationToPlace should be permutationBeingPlaced, no?

[chilly fractal]

Nah doesn't throw error

But sure I'll change it

[valid ice]

You aren't using it regardless, so it won't throw an error

[chilly fractal]

I didn't use it nor put it their but I decided not to mess with your script and just edit My part.

[valid ice]

Also they fixed the issue with the block in the events being the one you're placing on- no need to get the offset now, you can just use the block property from the event 👍

[chilly fractal]

So block is the block being placed?

(Rn)?

Bet

[valid ice]

Ye

Didn’t used to be, but it is now

[chilly fractal]

Moyang finally be putting in 50 hours a week

[valid ice]

Always have

That’s been changed since like, 1.21.0

[chilly fractal]

Bruh it still ain't working

It's still putting in the item I'm holding's block and not being overrided by the structure

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

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe((data) => {
  let { player, block, face, dimension } = data, item = player.getComponent('inventory').container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
  if (!item || !item.getLore()[0] || !item.getLore()[0].startsWith('ID: ')) return;
  system.runTimeout(() => {
    let itemID = item.getLore()[0].split(' ')[1];
    player.dimension.runCommandAsync(`structure load ${itemID} ${Object.values(block.location).reverse().join(' ')}`);
    player.dimension.runCommandAsync(`structure delete ${itemID}`);
  }, 2);
});

What's possibly wrong with this script???

#debug-playground message

Complier says absolutely no problems and even for extra measures I fixed the ts thing of typing face & dimension and never using them

Am I supposed to use afterEvent?.. I'll use it

[granite badger]

I think you need to cancel the before event

[chilly fractal]

Really?

Ok

Doesn't work, I'll test it in a different way in a sec, I gtg rn

[wheat condor]

Can I ask you a question? Why did you do Block.location.reverse() this will do z y x and spawn the structure in a unloaded chunk

[deep plank]

Is it just me, the tameable component returns undefined in vanilla entities that can be tamed. But works perfectly on custom entities that can be tamed.

[amber granite]

._.

Hailo

[chilly fractal]

Becuz doing Object.values(vec3) will give you the values z y x and so reversing it will make it x y z again

[chilly fractal]

Welp still doesn't work

Ima use after event

Maybe it'll work

[wheat condor]

I didn’t know this, but it feels wrong, have you tried to delete reverse and see what happens?

[chilly fractal]

It works lol, not cuz of deleting the reverse. It's cuz it deletes the structure with the placing so if there is a problem with the placing the structure would get deleted anyway and so it never got deleted so I made it send a message before the if (!item || !item.... and after and the after didn't work and so I instantly knew it was a problem with the if statement and I realized the whole problem was with the || !item.getLore()[0].startsWith('ID: ') return; cuz it was supposed to be '§r§5ID: ' not 'ID: '

Anyway thanks for the help yall

Especially herobrine

[craggy crater]

How would I make it so when I put on a specific armor piece/set it would make my gamertag go away

[wheat condor]

wdym by "make my gamertag go away"

[craggy crater]

Make it to where it's no longer visible

[wheat condor]

you cant

you can just give the player invisibility

to stop showing it

[craggy crater]

Ok

Then how do I make it so where when wearing a specific piece of armor walking it's like sprinting but only when they're sneaking if that makes any sense

[wintry valve]

its possible but i dunno how, ive seen it being used in some addons

[wintry valve]

the only time i've seen this being possible is on the originspe addon by r4isen where if you choose the class "Rogue" your nametag becomes invisible

[craggy crater]

Ooo

I'm actually also in that discord so maybe I'll message them

[cinder shadow]

when you set "nametag" to "" 😔

[wintry valve]

wait that works?

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

// Function to update player's name tag visibility
function updateNameTagVisibility(player) {
    const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
    const helmetSlot = inventory.getItem(103); // Slot 103 is the helmet slot

    if (helmetSlot && helmetSlot.typeId === "minecraft:iron_helmet") {
        // Player is wearing an iron helmet, hide the name tag
        player.nameTag = "";
    } else {
        // Player is not wearing an iron helmet, show the name tag
        player.nameTag = player.name;
    }
}

// Run the check periodically
system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        updateNameTagVisibility(player);
    }
}, 20); // Check every second (20 ticks)

// Listen for item equip events to update immediately when helmet is equipped/unequipped
world.afterEvents.itemUseOn.subscribe((event) => {
    const player = event.source;
    if (player.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
        system.run(() => updateNameTagVisibility(player));
    }
});

[shy leaf]

ya

no

[wintry valve]

so this should work?

[shy leaf]

not that

[wintry valve]

oh-

[shy leaf]

well youd still need that i think

maybe

but it would require editing player.json

[cinder shadow]

no?

[shy leaf]

no???

what kind of sorcery did r4isen do

[cinder shadow]

I'm pretty sure this works, but I'm not sure whether it would show a tiny bar for a blank space

[shy leaf]

holy

[cinder shadow]

Why would you need to edit player.json

[shy leaf]

i

wait you can just

edit the nametag right away?

huuuh

[cinder shadow]

nametag isn't a component

[wintry valve]

wizard!!

[wintry valve]

this might work, just test it out:

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

// Function to update player's name tag visibility
function updateNameTagVisibility(player) {
    const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
    const helmetSlot = inventory.getItem(103); // Slot 103 is the helmet slot

    if (helmetSlot && helmetSlot.typeId === "minecraft:iron_helmet") {
        // Player is wearing an iron helmet, hide the name tag
        player.nameTag = "";
    } else {
        // Player is not wearing an iron helmet, show the name tag
        player.nameTag = player.name;
    }
}

// Run the check periodically
system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        updateNameTagVisibility(player);
    }
}, 20); // Check every second (20 ticks)

// Listen for item equip events to update immediately when helmet is equipped/unequipped
world.afterEvents.itemUseOn.subscribe((event) => {
    const player = event.source;
    if (player.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
        system.run(() => updateNameTagVisibility(player));
    }
});

[craggy crater]

Ok ty

[wintry valve]

so, sneak walking = sprinting?

[craggy crater]

Ya

[wintry valve]

thats probably possible, but i have no idea how to do it

[craggy crater]

Ok

[wintry valve]

maybe like increase the speed of a player while theyre sneaking?

so when they walk they go faster?

[craggy crater]

How would I do that

[wintry valve]

thats a great question

I have no idea

or maybe i do wait

[wintry valve]

import { world, Player, TicksPerSecond } from "@minecraft/server";

const sprintSpeed = 0.3; // Sprinting speed
const normalSpeed = 0.1; // Walking speed

world.events.tick.subscribe(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        if (player.isSneaking) {
            player.setMovementSpeed(sprintSpeed); // Set speed to sprinting speed when sneaking
        } else {
            player.setMovementSpeed(normalSpeed); // Reset to normal speed when not sneaking
        }
    }
});

just check if this works

[north rapids]

Does the script run every game tick or every millisecond?

[cinder shadow]

it's every tick

now if you just slapped a while(true) {} in your code, that will run as fast as possible and crash your game

[north rapids]

Lol

So one second would be 20 ticks right?

[cinder shadow]

yes

[north rapids]

Ok tysm

[valid ice]

system stuff runs once per tick- but world events can fire as many times as they are activated per-tick

e.g. if you break 50 blocks in one second, block break would then fire 50 times

The player.getComponent('minecraft:inventory').container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex).getDynamicProperty('balance') is just to replace item because it didn't seem to work

you have to save that item back, bc itemstack is abstract instance

basicly do this steps

• getItem
• set properties
• put item back

[slim spear]

do i have to import another module?

[slim spear]

i'm not exactly sure what that means

i don't use other scripts often, just mainly @minecraft/server and ui

[hushed ravine]

Do you use something like webpack to bundle your scripts into one file?

[slim spear]

i installed the npm stuff for it

that's all i've done so far

[hushed ravine]

Unlike the other @minecraft libraries, @minecraft/math doesn't just contain types. It also contains actual scripts inside of it

[honest spear]

its JS module it self, tho, but there is no need to use it

[hushed ravine]

Yeah, I was just showing him that the math library contains stuff that actually does something

[honest spear]

Well, ya but module also does something but in the MC directly not in JS

¯_(ツ)_/¯

but ya

[hushed ravine]

Then, why does it even have JS code in it when it can just include types?

[honest spear]

Well @minecraft/math is not module but NPM package

[hushed ravine]

I'm aware of that...

[honest spear]

thats the different and also reason why you can't import it by default

it doesn't exist in MC

[woven loom]

thats utility pkg

[hushed ravine]

Yeah, I know that

If I want to use an NPM package, I have to bundle it along with my scripts

[woven loom]

it provides util funcs to use

[slim spear]

oh

i was js needing it for the distance calculations

[hushed ravine]

@slim spear this pretty much explains it

[hushed ravine]

this too

[slim spear]

ah

makes since

||ChatGPT translators||

[shy leaf]

||as a translator i gotta say ChatGPT is alright at it||

||its just that some people depend way too much on it like how they leave their assignment to AIs||

[deep garden]

This is true, chatgpt has helped my understanding of JavaScript a lot, but it does get some stuff wrong though. That being said, its usually easy to pick out what is wrong

[cinder shadow]

I've been using chat GPT to help me with a few concepts

[true isle]

can anyone tell me whats wrong with this. its just supposed to change the permutation by using an item and its not changeing it at all

Hi script team, any plan to add cancel these events:
~onAttack
~onBucket
~onDamaged
~onDeath
~onTriggered
~onExplode
~onInteract
~onTargeted
~onTeleport
~onShoot
~onCameraSet
~onItemUse
~onConsume

[shy leaf]

most of them already has beforeEvents

ok maybe not most

[worn sphinx]

Is there a way that when you press any button the amount will show and increase when you press the second button the amount will increase? Does anyone know how?

Code:

function openForm2(player, tien, values = []) {
    let text = ''
    const form = new ActionFormData();
    form.title("§m§i§n§e§fMINES")
    form.body(`${tien}`)
    
    for (let i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
        if (!values[i]) values[i] = "gray";
        if (!values[i]) text = "???";
    }
    values.forEach((value) => { 
        form.button(text, `textures/blocks/glass_${value}`)
    })
    form.button("§c§l§a§mAbc")
    form.show(player).then(rs => {
        if (rs.selection <= 24) {
            if(abc[rs.selection] == "O") {
                win++
                if (win === countO) {
                  player.sendMessage(`Bạn đã win`)
                  ResetOX()
                } else {
                    values[rs.selection] = "green"
                    openForm2(player, values)
                }
            } else {
                player.sendMessage(`Lose\n\n${result}`)
                ResetOX()
            }
        }
    })
}

[wheat condor]

wdym "when you press button the amount will increase and show and the second button the amount will incrase"?

[worn sphinx]

Yea

[wheat condor]

what does this mean?

[worn sphinx]

I want it to increase the amount when the button is pressed

[wheat condor]

wich button

and what amount you want to increase?

[worn sphinx]

When you press any button like there are 25 buttons, press 1 button it will increase, press 2 button it will increase again

[wheat condor]

ok but what do you want increase?

[worn sphinx]

Money

[wheat condor]

in your code there isnt any var that is named money

[worn sphinx]

I have used the part ModalFormData

[wheat condor]

i give up i cant understande what you re trying to say

[worn sphinx]

You can create money in the section ActionFormData

[prisma shard]

money += increaseNumber

is that what you mean

[worn sphinx]

That's right

[prisma shard]

[cinder shadow]

can you... add colors?

like if I had #fbff00 and #ff0000 can they be combined to get the mix of the two colors?

[wary edge]

You need to do some math yourself

[cinder shadow]

myself? no thanks

[wary edge]

Well...by that i mean you need to implement it yourself. MC doesnt have any

[cinder shadow]

I'm not even sure if this is really worth doing lol

[wary edge]

Whatcha trying to do?

[cinder shadow]

my fan blocks work with my potion soaked sponges to give everything in the same fan column the effects of all of the potion sponges below it

and so my options were
a. have the fan particles inherit the color from the topmost block in the column
b. combine all the colors from the sponges in the column

[distant tulip]

don't particles use rgba

[cinder shadow]

changing/setting the color isn't my problem

[distant tulip]

this is how the the beacon beam dose that

[cinder shadow]

what in the world

[distant tulip]

something like this?

function mixColors(colorsArray) {
    let colorsAmount = colorsArray.length - 1;
    let result = [0, 0, 0];
    for (let i = 0; i <= colorsAmount; i++) {
        let w = Math.pow(2, i - 1);
        result[0] += w*colorsArray[i][0];
        result[1] += w*colorsArray[i][1];
        result[2] += w*colorsArray[i][2];
    }
    return [
        Math.round(result[0]/Math.pow(2,colorsAmount)),
        Math.round(result[1]/Math.pow(2,colorsAmount)),
        Math.round(result[2]/Math.pow(2,colorsAmount))
    ]
}

[cinder shadow]

damn, particle documentation is also wrong lol

it shows examples saying you can pretty use any format for "color"

but they only work in terms of 0 - 1

[rapid sail]

can entitys use precise interactions?

[distant tulip]

no

[rapid sail]

that would be cool though

[shrewd wedge]

e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("evo:bone_crusher", {
        onUse(e) {
            const player = e.source;
            const xyz = player.location;
            const dimension = player.dimension;
            player.startItemCooldown("custom", 20);
            let nearbyEntities = dimension.getEntities({
                location: xyz,
                maxDistance: 10,
                excludeTypes: ["minecraft:item", "minecraft:xp_orb"]
            });

            nearbyEntities = nearbyEntities.filter(entity => entity !== player);
            nearbyEntities.forEach(entity => {   	 
            	entity.addTag("evo:bone_crusher");
                entity.playSound("use.bone_block");
            });
        }
    });

Why did it say "not a function" when I try add tag?

[open urchin]

entity.playSound doesn't exist
try dimension.playSound("use.bone_block", entity.location) instead

[shrewd wedge]

Oh that only player, haha sorry

Thank you

        const player = e.source;
        const xyz = player.location;
        const dimension = player.dimension;

        player.startItemCooldown("custom", 20);
        player.playSound("mob.enderdragon.flap");
        player.runCommandAsync("particle evo:voids_edge_particle ~~~");

        let nearbyEntities = dimension.getEntities({
            location: xyz,
            maxDistance: 10,
            excludeTypes: ["minecraft:item", "minecraft:xp_orb"]
        });

        nearbyEntities = nearbyEntities.filter(entity => entity !== player);

        nearbyEntities.forEach(entity => {
            const dx = xyz.x - entity.location.x;
            const dz = xyz.z - entity.location.z;

            const length = Math.sqrt(dx ** 2 + dz ** 2);
            const dx2 = dx / length;
            const dz2 = dz / length;

            entity.applyKnockback(
                -dx,
                -dz,
                3,
                1
            );
            
            entity.runCommandAsync("particle evo:voids_edge_particle ~~~");
        });
    }
});

Does anyone know why entity still get pushed back instead of pull to entity who use sword?

[slim spear]

you can input RGB if you divide it by 255

[cinder shadow]

yeah

[slim spear]

map.setFloat("variable.colorR", num / 255)```

[cinder shadow]

I know lol

The particle documentation is always incorrect

[slim spear]

💀

[cinder shadow]

ended up with this ```js
function getColor(blocks) {
if (blocks.length == 0) return { r: 1, g: 1, b: 1 };

const color = blocks.reduce((acc, block) => {
    const potion = potions.find(p => p.id === block[0]);
    acc.r += potion.color.r;
    acc.g += potion.color.g;
    acc.b += potion.color.b;
    return acc;
}, { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 });

color.r /= blocks.length;
color.g /= blocks.length;
color.b /= blocks.length;

return color

}``` Idk what kinda junk is being done with that glass and beacon color, but you really just need to find the average

chatGPT taught me what .reduce was 😔
