Script API General

[winter plaza]

export function tick_block(block, player) {
  const entities = block.dimension.getEntities({maxDistance:10,location:block.location,type:"minecraft:player"});
  for (sla of entities) {
    block.dimension.runCommandAsync("execute as @p run say sla");
  }
}

I tested it like this and it didn't work

[glacial widget]

const item = new ItemStack("minecraft:bow", 1)
      item.getComponent("minecraft:enchantable").addEnchantment({ type: "unbreaking", level: 1 })
      inventory.addItem(item)

I always somehow forget the syntex for .addEnchantment notation

could someone help

[distant tulip]

try

export function tick_block(block, player) {
  const entities = block.dimension.getEntities({maxDistance:10,location:block.location,type:"minecraft:player"});
  for (sla of entities) {
    sla.runCommandAsync("execute as @s run say sla");
  }
}

[distant tulip]

check the docs
that almost what we do all the time someone ask

[unreal cove]

.addEnchantment({ type: new EnchantmentType("unbreaking"), level: 1 })

[glacial widget]

Thank you

[glacial widget]

Yeah i should start more, just a little more learning because its in TS

[shy leaf]

is there a calculation of getting how far applyKnockback can push in block distance

[winter plaza]

It didn't work

[distant gulch]

can i make targeting skill ?

[tiny tartan]

what is maxDistance limit in getEntities method

[subtle cove]

no limit..., dunno test it out

it only gets the loaded entities

[shut citrus]

may be reder distance

[celest fable]

so the conclusion is 128 "maybe" the limit

[wary edge]

It would be sim fistance likely

[subtle cove]

its similar to @e

[wary edge]

So then sim dist yeah

[subtle cove]

whatever's loaded

[umbral stag]

is there any we can stop player attacking a specific player

like team

[shy leaf]

theres damage sensor tutorial for entities based on tags

not really script api related though

[inland merlin]

Nope, player.json still. Waiting on that before event cancel for entities

[shadow lark]

does anyone know how I can get the values of a state of a block?

[umbral stag]

bruh

[cold grove]

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

[alpine ibex]

How do I make it so Entities also gets this?

system.runInterval(() => {
  world.getPlayers().forEach((player) => {
    if (player.hasTag("kekkizyutuburn")) {
      player.setOnFire(100, true)
    }
  })
}, 1)

[sharp elbow]

For each dimension, use the getEntities method. You may want to filter out some entities for better performance

[alpine ibex]

So I do
world.getEntities?

[sharp elbow]

Key phrase there is "for each dimension". Minecraft doesn't let us grab all entities globally, like it does for players

const Overworld = world.getDimension("overworld");
Overworld.getEntities().forEach();

There's probably a more dynamic way to grab dimensions, via some DimensionTypes class or similar

[alpine ibex]

Wait what does this do

You gotta explain everything dawg

[sharp elbow]

world.getDimension("overworld") stores the Overworld dimension into a variable. That class represents anything you can do in a given dimension—and in this case, we can call the getEntities method. That will grab all entities in the Overworld

Check out the docs for the Dimension class to see more of what it can do: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/dimension

Let me know if you have any other questions about that

[alpine ibex]

How do I add this to my current setup...

Man I'm stoopid

Hohoho

[lone thistle]

Might be better if you open a forum in #1067535382285135923

[devout dune]

Hello. I am trying to have my custom block, automatically destroy, when the block underneath == "air"
Just like all of the vanilla blocks.
Is there a placement_component for blocks. or something similar that i can tackle in script?
custom_component.tick maybe?

[cold grove]

onTick customComponent

You need to set that the block ticks in the JSON

[winter plaza]

export function tick_block(block, player) {
  const entities = block.dimension.getEntities({maxDistance:10,location:block.location,type:"minecraft:player"});
  if (entities.length < 1) return;
  block.dimension.runCommandAsync("execute as @p run say sla");
}

help

does not work, and does not show error

[devout dune]

Damn so custom_component is best way to handle this? There is no placement_filter component? so they auto destroy?

[deep plank]

Unfortunately, placement_filter is very limited 😕

[cold grove]

You asked for scripting api solutions

So

[devout dune]

Yes i did. But i am Hoping for a more direct solution?

scripting was just my first thought

[umbral scarab]

Would anyone know why setScore isn't working? The rest of the code works fine its just not setting the score in that specific section and not sure why because it's in scope

[wary edge]

Unless you list out every block aside air for the placement filter componrnt

[random flint]

you forgot break; on the switch statements

[umbral scarab]

ah yes tyty

[empty quail]

Am I stupid or is Bridge buggy?

[fallow rivet]

How can I use before event explosion?

Is there a sample code?

[fallow rivet]

Minecraft server 1.14.0-beta
Minecraft server ui 1.3.0-beta
Gametest idk

I deleted Gametest

I don't use

[past blaze]

Is there a way to detect when the world closes?

[unique dragon]

nah

[distant tulip]

player leave and player count?
keep in mind this don't work when force closing

[past blaze]

Would that work if the player who's leaving is the host and other players are still on?

[distant tulip]

actually that won't work with servers
let me see if there is another way

for hosted worlds it dose

[past blaze]

Wait so you tested it with more than one players in the world?

[distant tulip]

no just me

[distant tulip]

system.waitTicks
when did this get added

memory issues

[oblique heath]

Is there a way to check if a block is opaque?

[distant tulip]

isSolid

[oblique heath]

That's only in beta 🥲

[wary edge]

Yeah...its unlikely for it to be in stable due to the recent qna. Theyre gonna split up solidity

[wanton ocean]

nooo

[empty quail]

Received this syntax error with this code. What's up?

if (player.getGameMode === GameMode.creative) continue;

This condition will always return 'false' since the types '() => GameMode' and 'GameMode' have no overlap. (2367)

Oh nvm I'm dumb

Missing two entire parentheses

[oblique heath]

xd

[thorn flicker]

btw you dont need to import GameMode, you can just use a string.

[empty quail]

So just === 'creative'

[thorn flicker]

yes

[empty quail]

How can I convert three values into a Vector3 (for teleportation and dynamic properties)? I can do without it but I'd like to learn

[deep plank]

If you have vector library you can just use new Vector3(x, y, z). But you can also do {x: x, y: y, z: z}.

[empty quail]

I don't think I have a library for it; does the object work in place of Vector3 (such as player.teleport())?

[deep plank]

Yes

[umbral scarab]

anyone know why my enchantment isn't showing? All the code is running including the addEnchant but it's not appearing on my item

when I do it with a slot I get this

which was why I did getItem

const inv = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
        let slot = inv.size;
        while (slot--) {
            const itemSlot = inv.getSlot(slot);
            if (!itemSlot.hasItem()) continue;
            //const item = itemSlot.getItem();
                switch (itemSlot.typeId) {
                    case "minecraft:wooden_sword":
                        const enchantments = itemSlot?.getComponent("enchantable");
                        if (enchantments) {
                            enchantments.addEnchantment({ type: new EnchantmentType("unbreaking"), level: 1 });
                        }
                        break;

indentation has gone out the window there lmao

hope thats readable

wouldn't item need to be inside the while loop otherwise it won't update as you search through the inv?

[empty quail]

What's the difference between world.getPlayers and world.getAllPlayers? Wiki says it's players vs active players but I don't know what it means

[umbral scarab]

getPlayers are people on the world, all players is everyone ever logged on the world, like scoreboards

how so?

[deep plank]

getAllPlayers() will return to an array of all online players in the world. getPlayers() allows you to use EntityQueryOptions, so that you can filter which players to get. If you don't provide an options in getPlayers() it will be the same as getAllPlayers().

[empty quail]

How can I use EntityQueryOptions to limit selection to solely online players?

[deep plank]

They both get an active players in the wolrd.

[thorn flicker]

well you cannot get offline players in general.

[empty quail]

Then what did they mean by [this](#1067535608660107284 message)?

[umbral scarab]

Still having the same issue where the enchant doesn't apply

no error messages in log

[deep plank]

That's wrong.

[thorn flicker]

well, I guess they made a mistake.

[empty quail]

Ok I believe I understand, thank you

[umbral scarab]

apologies 🥲

[deep plank]

This is their differences

[thorn flicker]

I wonder why getAllPlayers exists then if that's the case

[empty quail]

I'm trying to get all players and put them in a Modal form but Typescript is complaining that world.getAllPlayers() isn't an array?

One moment

[umbral scarab]

no change

[valid ice]

No entity query filter'

[thorn flicker]

you but

you can just not use the filter in getPlayers.

[valid ice]

well yea

[umbral scarab]

I put warns around it and both are running so I literally have no clue lol

[empty quail]

BP/scripts/main.ts

const allPlayers = world.getAllPlayers();
menu.dropdown("Modify per-player menu:", allPlayers, 0);

Argument of type 'Player[]' is not assignable to parameter of type '(string | RawMessage)[]'.
Type 'Player' is not assignable to type 'string | RawMessage'.
Type 'Player' has no properties in common with type 'RawMessage'.

Wait I may have it, gotta do with mapping

[deep plank]

It will return an instance of player, that field requires an array of string. Try this.

const allPlayers = world.getAllPlayers().map(player => player.name)

[empty quail]

That's what I was thinking; no errors now. Thanks!

[strong oar]

can i ask how to fix this, facing opposite in creative inventory?

[slow walrus]

you gotta re-set the item after adding enchants

adding the enchants only modifies the JS item object, not the minecraft item, so you have to set the item to use it's new JS object state

[past blaze]

Isn't that more of a question for #1067876857103536159?

[oblique heath]

is there a way to get block and entity bounding boxes?

[distant tulip]

no

[wise raft]

Is it possible to set the Items in the lower Inventory with Chest UI?

[wise raft]

or did someone else did that?

[fast wind]

For some reason the dropdown gets duplicated, it sometimes happens but I don't understand why

It works perfectly here

[keen folio]

Someone help me with #1281939985230069761 please

[fast wind]

nvm fixed

[fallow rivet]

How can I open a menu on a player's screen?

When player A presses a button, a menu will open on player B's screen.

[tiny tartan]

was old script api able to cancel entityHit or entityHurt events?

[umbral scarab]

is there a way for me to test if an item has a specific enchant on it?

[subtle cove]

No

[subtle cove]

hasEnchantment

[umbral scarab]

Can you give me an example syntax?

I saw it in documentation and couldn't figure it out

[umbral scarab]

tyty. I tried searching too but I got completely different results for some reason

thank you anyways

[cinder shadow]

const entities = block.dimension.getEntities({ location: { x: blockLocation.x, y: blockLocation.y, z: blockLocation.z + 1 }, volume: { x: 0, y: 0, z: range - 1 } });
``` Any ideas on how to shrink this volume so it's not a full block size and only around 0.9?  Current issue is that this yoinks all entities in an area around 1.2 blocks wide

[subtle cove]

Use getEntitiesAtBlockLocation

It's rly strange with those differences tbh

[cinder shadow]

I can't use at blockLocation

that doesn't allow a range specification

haven't tried fromRay yet

[sharp elbow]

I suspect the extra width depends on the entity's collision box.

[proud saddle]

#1282033813261652112 message
hmmm
if i just run interval when entity spawned, it break after reload of world

so can i pin it reliable

[sharp elbow]

With being able to access each entity's precise location, you could simply filter those entities whose locations are out of range.

[granite badger]

system runinterval then do a getEntities for loop

[sharp elbow]

function inRange(val, min, max) {
  // Assuming min <= max
  return min <= val && val <= max;
}
const origin = { x: blockLocation.x, y: blockLocation.y, z: blockLocation.z + 1 };
const entities = block.dimension.getEntities({
  location: origin,
  volume: { x: 0, y: 0, z: range - 1 }
}).filter(entity => 
  inRange(entity.location.x, origin.x, origin.x+0.9) &&
  inRange(entity.location.y, origin.y, origin.y+0.9) &&
  inRange(entity.location.z, origin.z, origin.z+range-0.1)
);

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible to teleport the player to another dimension and create an island system like on servers using scripts?

[proud saddle]

are there more optimized options?

[proud saddle]

i think yes
but in fact you won't be able to use anything other than vanilla dimensions

[meager pulsar]

what happens if you try to use getProperty on a property that doesnt exist on the entity?

[wary edge]

Returns undefined

[clear pendant]

can you make a custom typescript package for your addon so other ppl can use it as an API to call functions in it?

[wary edge]

Yes

[clear pendant]

how?

[wary edge]

Its just like any normal package. Theyll just need to bundle it with esbuild or smthng

[clear pendant]

hmm

i'll try

minecraft can't auto download it, if you set it as a dep, right?

do you have an example of an addon that has an own typescript package?

[shell pike]

Is there any native method for /dialogue command?

[distant tulip]

nope

[shell pike]

runCommand moment again

[distant tulip]

the only dialogue thing we have is for scriptevent source

[shell pike]

Thank you

[distant tulip]

ur wlc

[clear pendant]

do i have to ship my full addon too or just the type definitions?

[rugged tinsel]

to use a package/module, you need to bundle it, which means including all the code for that package in your add-on

[clear pendant]

so i have to put my addon in the npm pakage?

[rugged tinsel]

https://canary.discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1223546390433497108

[clear pendant]

why mc is not doing it then?

[rugged tinsel]

?

[clear pendant]

i want my addon to be like an API

and other addons should be able to call functions from it

[rugged tinsel]

add-ons cannot directly access other add-ons

[clear pendant]

oof

[rugged tinsel]

if you want to expose certain behaviors, you can use scriptevents

other add-ons can use /scriptevent to call things

[clear pendant]

i'll prob do that then

[true isle]

anyone still getting the "hastag" error?

i mean you could make it compatible with other addons by letting them use the functions in their addon itself. basicly writing things to be used in the addon as like a basic script set for like stairs, saplings,ect which not many are doing atm

[rugged tinsel]

any block or item related stuff doesn't need to be used in the add-on itself, that's what custom components are for

there's already an add-on being worked on that has sets of components for common things called adk-lib

https://github.com/SmokeyStack/adk-lib

[valid ice]

This but for addons

[rugged tinsel]

we love competing standards

[rugged tinsel]

what "hastag" error? I've never had any issues with it

[valid ice]

"The methods that I designed will be the new standard for creators!"

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-gif-21327280

[true isle]

Yeah my bad hasTag -_-

I keep getting it randomly when in my creative test world. My stair script literally has that in 90% of the lines lol

[celest fable]

when button pressed, search for player B

const target = "me"
const playerB = world.getPlayers().find(f => f.name == target)
if (!playerB) return

menu.show(playerB)

[slow walrus]

you could use this #1277940040688996512

though that's for seperate packs

[clear pendant]

thx

[slow walrus]

👍

there should be some simple usage stuff on the github

[clear pendant]

ye

otherwise you can ask here for more help https://discord.com/channels/494194063730278411/1278357276897574923

[scarlet sable]

hello

I'm here again lol

i had a problem with this script

[covert grove]

idk what im doing wrong, my item is meant to spawn an entity in the center of a block

[scarlet sable]

the problem isthe message var

[scarlet sable]

it's read only

idk how to fix it tho

I'm not a js coder

[wary edge]

Wrap it in system.run

[scarlet sable]

idk what that means lmao

[wary edge]

system.run(()=>{
  //code
});

[scarlet sable]

wait that's it?

[scarlet sable]

all the script?

[wary edge]

https://tenor.com/view/wong-wong-marvel-gif-24623467

[scarlet sable]

idk man I'm confused af

[scarlet sable]

.

[wary edge]

Actually...i just re-read it...i dont think you can bypass it. What you can do is:
Cancel the message being
World.sendMessage (or player) the new message you want

[scarlet sable]

I've never felt more out of touch lol

static run(cmd, dimension = world.getDimension("overworld"))

you mean this line?

[scarlet sable]

bruh this was broken in the first place

this is the code i meant to send

[distant tulip]

just cancel the original message and send a new one

[scarlet sable]

oh i think i understand

like that?

[distant tulip]

you are still trying to assign new value to it

[scarlet sable]

ok just to make things clear this an old pack i didn't make I'm just trying to make it work (i litterally know 0 stuff about js)

[distant tulip]

huh where did the event go

[scarlet sable]

just use this one as a reference

[distant tulip]

dude

[scarlet sable]

ye it felt wrong

even in c that would be wrong

am I hurting the sould of every coder rn? 💀

[simple zodiac]

atleast mine.

[scarlet sable]

fair fair

sooo is the world.sendMessage placement even right?

[distant tulip]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(data => {
    const {sender,message} = data
    const includeEmoji = Object.keys(emoji).some(e => message.includes(e))
    if(includeEmoji){
        let editedMessage = message
        data.cancel = true
        Object.keys(emoji).forEach(e => {
            editedMessage = editedMessage.replace(e,emoji[e])
        })
        world.sendMessage(`<${sender.name}> ${editedMessage}`)
    }
})

also you don't want to declare the emojis array each time
put it in your script root

@scarlet sable

[granite cape]

I'm making logic to accurately protect farmland from jump and falling query players, and the good thing is it works accurately, but there is a little problem in the kill entity section where I can't exclude items in excludeTags, is there perhaps another way to exclude this?

how do i make a block execute some command in the radius of 5 blocks, ...

[celest fable]

excludeTags is for some tag that add via .addTag, isn't?

not like typeId or something

[turbid delta]

Hey! Does anyone know how to use @minecraft/server-net to connect to the console of my server host?

[cold grove]

What do you mean??

[turbid delta]

Like use server-net with script api to make requests to the console of my bds server.

Its not being hosted locally on my pc, i have a server host.

[cold grove]

Wdym by to the console??

[cold grove]

Can you be more specific? Likeee idk

You can make http request, indeed but, "to the console"?m

[turbid delta]

The server host console.... i dont know what else there is that is confusing

My server subscription ended so i cant even take a screenshot of the console right now 😭 sorry

Like the console that logs every player join, disconnect, script api console.warns, script errors, resource pack errors, etc

[cold grove]

Yes

[cold grove]

What do you need in that?

🤔

[turbid delta]

To use op permission level 4 commands

[cold grove]

Like you want to receive requests in your server from another?

[turbid delta]

Mainly /allowlist, and possibly /transfer

[cold grove]

I dont think its possible

[turbid delta]

To use script api to conect to my server host console?

Im not familair with how https works

[cold grove]

This?

Sorry im not catching it, sorry

[turbid delta]

No, I want to make a request to the server console with script api.

The behavior pack is in the server host I intend to use the console of.

[slow walrus]

make a HTTP request to your console pretty much

there might be APIs for your server host, maybe not

[cold grove]

Yeah something like custom software

Also the dev wiki is kinda bad

Is there a better website that explains the bedrock api?

[neat hound]

There are good references to the classes and interfaces, is that what you mean?

[scarlet sable]

Ye

[neat hound]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/ and https://stirante.com/script/

[scarlet sable]

Ty

[neat hound]

Just make sure you know which you are looking at as far as latest or preview and stable or beta.

[scarlet sable]

I need some tips

Even tho ik the basics of js idk where to start when it comes to mc addon scripting

The bedrock wiki dev is a bit too basic and doesn't have the kind of stuff i want

[scarlet sable]

This is the opposite lmao

I need to know what I'm looking for

[neat hound]

Then you need the intro?

[scarlet sable]

Yep I would say so

[neat hound]

Do you know Javascript?

[scarlet sable]

Yep

The main stuff

Vars consts functions

Objects

Etc

[neat hound]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scriptingintroduction?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[scarlet sable]

This is the official mc script guide?

[neat hound]

It is the Intro that most programmers can take off from fairly easy.. non-progrmmers may need more guidance

[drifting raven]

Learn JavaScript

As the Script API is a framework built on JavaScript code, having an understanding of JavaScript is key.

If you are being shown this, then you most likely are a beginner with JS and could use a little guidance.

It is from custom components. Start here and dig down to it. https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/1.21.40.20/classes/_minecraft_server_1_15_0.BlockComponentRegistry.html#registerCustomComponent

[shy leaf]

oh well nvm lmao

ty for looking it up but i think ill just take a look at jayly's mace code

[scarlet sable]

weird

[unreal cove]

main.*.*js

[scarlet sable]

.. ?

[unreal cove]

ur filename is main.js

[scarlet sable]

oh

[unreal cove]

and ur manifest seems to be looking for main..js

[scarlet sable]

bro it's just .J

but the J is pixelated

i fixed the error code but still the code doesn't run

[unreal cove]

can u show ur manifest?

[scarlet sable]

is something wrong?

[runic crypt]

doesn't current system tick work only once per world ??

[scarlet sable]

ye i fixed it

[runic crypt]

anyone know how to make an addon that adds the book seen in marketplace addons (the one that can be placed down and has images)
or is it possible to make a book have images as well as tex

as for why im asking in scripts general
because someone on a different server said that its done by using scripts

[wary edge]

The book itself is an entity

[scarlet sable]

it's an entity

[wary edge]

The only scripting part is giving you ghe book

[runic crypt]

oh ok

do you know of a way to put images in the book tho ?

[scarlet sable]

In a mc book?

Like book and quill?

[unreal cove]

since those books are custom entities, you can just make the page have whatever image u want

[runic crypt]

yea i know that but idk how to :(

[scarlet sable]

Oh he means that

[unreal cove]

u could also just modify font glyph to add those images, but then this isn't what marketpalce addons do since they aren't allowed to modify anything vanilla

[neat hound]

use the current @minecraft/server version

[scarlet sable]

I believe with editing the emojis you can do close stuff too

[scarlet sable]

Oh didn't notice that

[neat hound]

or
@minecraft/[email protected]```up each number by 2 if in preview

[scarlet sable]

ohhhh

so that's what this is

ye I'm having fun learning this stuff

[neat hound]

yes the versions

[scarlet sable]

a simple time counter

[static nebula]

Can anyone help me? I'm using projectile.shoot() to fire arrows, does anyone know how to increase the damage and speed of the arrow?

[wary edge]

That seems like you would need to edit the json file instead

[winter plaza]

function teste(eventEntity) {
  const test1 = mc.system.runTimeout(() => {
    console.warn("warn1");
    if (test1 == 1.5) {
      console.warn("warn2");
    }
    if (test1 > 2.9) {
      mc.system.clearRun(test1);
      console.warn("warn3");
    }
  }, 3);
}

the warning happens all together, there is no interval time like I wanted there to be

[wary edge]

this code exectures every 3 ticks, is that what you wanted?

[static nebula]

Oh, thnx

[winter plaza]

no, I want to make it so that it is 3 ticks, but on tick 1, one thing is executed, tick 2 another thing and on tick 3 the tick ends

[wary edge]

You should use https://stirante.com/script/server/1.13.0/classes/System.html#waitTicks waitTicks instead

[winter plaza]

How do I use this in practice?

[granite badger]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_13_0.System.html#waitTicks there's example here

[scarlet sable]

is there a mistake?

it spawns wolfs even tho I'm in the overworld

[wary edge]

What is world:overworld?

[scarlet sable]

Dimension?

Oh

Bruh

Ye it's minecraft:overworld

Ty

[winter plaza]

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [Addon test - 1.0.0] - [main.js] ran with error: [SyntaxError: unexpected 'await' keyword    at tick.js:15

  console.warn("1");
  await mc.system.waitTick(20);
  console.warn("2");
  await mc.system.waitTick(40);
  console.warn("3");
}

didn't work

[wary edge]

You need the async

[scarlet sable]

i have an error code in spawnEntity

[winter plaza]

await async?

[wary edge]

What is on line 33?

[wary edge]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function

[scarlet sable]

The line under the minecraft:overworld

It just calls a summon command for a fox

playerDimension.spawnEntity("mineraft:fox" , playerLocation);

[wary edge]

You mispelled minecraft

[scarlet sable]

oh

Ye it works now

That was embarrassing lmao

[winter plaza]

async function test(eventEntity) {
  await mc.system.waitTick(10);
  console.warn("1");
  await mc.system.waitTick(20);

I tested it like this, but it didn't work

it does work for me tho

[solid stone]

Hey! I'm looking for launch a projectile few block forward from player view, someone knows a way to make it?

[winter plaza]

Now can you help me with this? It doesn't show any errors, but it doesn't work

[chilly fractal]

Yo yall

Is there a way to get and set a block's face?

[distant tulip]

huh
as in change the face?

[wintry bane]

How do I check if an item is a block? Like a stick returns false but dirt returns true?

[unreal cove]

BlockTypes.get(item.typeId) should work

[wintry bane]

okay

[scarlet sable]

now that i can understand a bit more of the api can you give me a general rundown of what's happening here?

[sharp elbow]

If the message includes any emoji (by seeing if any keys in the 'emoji' variable are present in the message) then:

• Cancel sending the original message.
• Replace every instance of an emoji's key in the message with the emoji's value.
• Send the modified message out.

[scarlet sable]

oh

nice i got it right

i need to learn more about the subscribe function

[sharp elbow]

This could be optimized a bit further by filtering out those emoji to be replaced, like so:

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(data => {
    const {sender,message} = data;
    const includedEmoji = Object.keys(emoji).filter(e => message.includes(e));
    if(includedEmoji.length > 0) {
        let editedMessage = message;
        data.cancel = true;
        includedEmoji.forEach(e => {
            editedMessage = editedMessage.replace(e,emoji[e]);
        });
        world.sendMessage(`<${sender.name}> ${editedMessage}`);
    }
});

[scarlet sable]

interesting

[sharp elbow]

Usually that means the event you tried to access does not exist. Is line 7 of emojis.js that world.beforeEvents.chatSend line?

[scarlet sable]

yep

oh i think ik the problem

1 min

nah still not working

[sharp elbow]

Must be an API version issue. What version of the API are you using? (Look in the behavior pack manifest, it should be in the dependencies array)

[scarlet sable]

1.13.0

the latest

[wary edge]

beforeChatSend is in beta only

[sharp elbow]

Could it still be in beta ...? If you change that to I think 1.16.0-beta it will begin working

[scarlet sable]

i see

[scarlet sable]

I'll try

[thorn flicker]

1.14.0-beta

[sharp elbow]

I might be thinking of the preview hehe

[scarlet sable]

bruh

lol

[thorn flicker]

1.14.0

lol

honestly idk anymore

didnt we jump an update or something

[scarlet sable]

it is 14

[sharp elbow]

If you are using VSCode for Intellisense, and you have the "@minecraft/server" NPMJS module installed, you'll want to install the 1.14.0-beta version of that to get updated typings

[gaunt salmon]

Installation for @minecraft/server
Latest API module install:

npm i @minecraft/[email protected]

Beta API module install:

npm i @minecraft/[email protected]

Preview API module install:

npm i @minecraft/[email protected]

Preview Beta API module install:

npm i @minecraft/[email protected]

[sharp elbow]

For a sec I thought I pinged you

[scarlet sable]

works like a charm

yep

the pixel art is a bit illegal looking lol

btw I finished the microsoft guide

what's the next step?

[scarlet sable]

i forgot to say ty btw

[neat hound]

Have a small project in mind and set your intention to figure it out. A goal usually helps. There are plenty of samples and stuff in #1067535712372654091 .

It is best to search the discord and the API's links I gave you before you ask for help. It should be a last resort, imo. As you get better, help others figure out their challenges... it will make you better.

There are pinned messages in this general post too

and peruse over this link: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/script-server.html#setup

[scarlet sable]

Ok ty

Hopefully we'll meet again but I'll be the one giving advice

[neat hound]

Looking forward to your growth....

[shy leaf]

does anyone know how applyKnockback strength works

[sudden nest]

blazingly fast

With runJob + caching (100+ blocks)

just runJob (this image is tested with 200 blocks)

[true isle]

is their another way to simulate growing plants when interacting with grass for a custom block?

[wary edge]

Wdym?

Like, right click -> lots of plants show up
or
right click -> advance stage

[shy leaf]

smokey

how on earth does strength for applyKnockback work

[wary edge]

https://tenor.com/view/tony-stark-eyeglass-exellent-question-gif-12818139

[shy leaf]

it just sends entities into sky if i set the vertical strength to like

2?

you can even use mace with that

[true isle]

lots of plants when using bonemeal like grass does

i mean i know i can do it with structures but i really want it closer to the actual mechanic of the game so its more random

duh nvm i got it

[hazy yoke]

function destroy(block: Block): number {
  world.sendMessage(`${block.typeId}`)

      destroy(above)
      break;

how i replace the block above of the block i break?

[random flint]

you're trying to modify a block while still inside the time frame of a beforeEvent (read-only)

wrap the block.dimension.setBlockType in system.run()

[keen folio]

anyone #1282572947718144083 help me

[mystic mortar]

Yo. Anyone know how to properly use airSupply: on a player?

[tiny tartan]

if i wanted to check if spawned entity is item i have to use .getComponent('item') right?

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_13_0.EntityItemComponent.html#itemStack

seems like it

[tiny tartan]

Thx

[still sorrel]

Why does it say I can only have 1 script module in my pack?

[random flint]

duplicate dependencies in the manifest maybe?

[still sorrel]

I have 2 scripts tho and they do different things but when I reference them in manifest I get that error and only one works

[Scripting][warning]-Plugin [Minecraft Addon - 1.0.0] - skipped, only one script module allowed per pack.

[random flint]

reference one of your files in the manifest.
use import, and import the other file.

import "../folder/code1"
import "./code2"

[still sorrel]

I'll try thank, thanks!

[still sorrel]

It worked, thanks man.

[solid stone]

Working very well, just I'll need a thing

basically I would like summon it ~2 block forward and ~1 to the right

so i'm not sure how I'll be available to make it

[distant tulip]

you can use my script to anchor the position related to the entity rotation

function anchor(dir, pos) {
    const dir_length  = Math.sqrt(dir.x * dir.x + dir.y * dir.y + dir.z * dir.z);
    const normalizedDir = {x: dir.x / dir_length ,y: dir.y / dir_length ,z: dir.z / dir_length };
    const loc_vec = { x: -normalizedDir.z, y: 0, z: normalizedDir.x};

    //normalize to avoid different offset depending on the direction
    const loc_length  = Math.sqrt(loc_vec.x * loc_vec.x + loc_vec.y * loc_vec.y + loc_vec.z * loc_vec.z);
    const norm_loc = {x: loc_vec.x / loc_length ,y: loc_vec.y / loc_length ,z: loc_vec.z / loc_length };

    //offset distance
    const offset = { x: 0.3, y: 0.3, z: 1 };

    return {
        x: pos.x + norm_loc.x * offset.x + normalizedDir.x * offset.z,
        y: pos.y + norm_loc.y * offset.x + offset.y,
        z: pos.z + norm_loc.z * offset.x + normalizedDir.z * offset.z
    };
}

[shy leaf]

that one should work

[distant tulip]

pass the entity view direction and the head/barrel position to it

change this to the offset you want

[alpine ibex]

Do you guys know how to make custom enchantments?

[distant tulip]

item lore

[solid stone]

I see, yeah working perfect thanks y'all

[wary edge]

We cant officially make custom enchantments. However there are workarounds.

Store the "enchantment" as an item lore or dynamic property. Then with ScriptAPI, detect whatever function(entity hit, block mine etc) -> grab the "enchantment" -> execute effects

[alpine ibex]

Tho yes scriptAPI

[cold grove]

??

[shy leaf]

that seems like item lore trick

the attack damage part is above the enchantments in the image

[solid stone]

idk if I'm doing something wrong but it isn't relative from which directions is player looking, do u know why or if I did something wrong?

[cold grove]

Yes(?

[distant tulip]

show the code

[solid stone]

function anchorbarrelbot(dir, pos) {
    const dir_length  = Math.sqrt(dir.x * dir.x + dir.y * dir.y + dir.z * dir.z);

    const loc_vec = { x: -normalizedDir.z, y: 0, z: normalizedDir.x};

    //normalize to avoid different offset depending on the direction
    const loc_length  = Math.sqrt(loc_vec.x * loc_vec.x + loc_vec.y * loc_vec.y + loc_vec.z * loc_vec.z);
    const norm_loc = {x: loc_vec.x / loc_length ,y: loc_vec.y / loc_length ,z: loc_vec.z / loc_length };

    //offset distance
    const offset = { x: 0.2, y: 0.3, z: 0.6 };

    return {
        x: pos.x + norm_loc.x * offset.x + normalizedDir.x * offset.z,
        y: pos.y + norm_loc.y * offset.x + offset.y,

[distant tulip]

🤨

[umbral scarab]

Would anyone know why this isnt working?

[solid stone]

okk mb, srry

and thanks

[distant tulip]

worked?

[wary edge]

Whats line 374?

[umbral scarab]

getComponent

[distant tulip]

show full line

[wary edge]

Yeah, equippable only works on players

[umbral scarab]

is there a way I can turn the entity into a player? or is there a way to detect for players specifically that get damaged?

[solid stone]

yep

i'm still figuring out offsets

but yeh

[wary edge]

Ohhh i figured it out now

[distant tulip]

that is a player...
unless that is just a name

[wary edge]

Nope, JS has no type safety

[umbral scarab]

shouldn't be a name

[wary edge]

@umbral scarab damageSource is a https://stirante.com/script/server/1.13.0/interfaces/EntityDamageSource.html

Its not an entity

You need
event.damageSource.damagingEntity

[distant tulip]

that is not the error source

[wary edge]

Yes it is...

[distant tulip]

how can you tell

[umbral scarab]

it fixed something lol

[wary edge]

Youre passing a damagesource not an entity

[wary edge]

Bc i read the code?

[distant tulip]

oh yeah

lol

[umbral scarab]

this makes sense tbh I didnt realise there was another attribute after

[wary edge]

You should use entityhtientity event not entityhurt

[umbral scarab]

I need to track all damage taken (fall damage etc.) so thats why I chose entityHurt

[buoyant canopy]

you can use both

[shrewd wedge]

Hi

[umbral scarab]

interesting. whats the difference between them then?

[buoyant canopy]

just filter entity damage from the entityHurt event to not get duplicate fires

[shrewd wedge]

How to fix this?

function durability(player, itemStack, damage) {
    let durability = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:durability");
    
    if (durability.damage >= durability.maxDurability) {
        const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
        inventory.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, undefined);
        player.playSound("random.break", player.location);
    } else {
    	durability.damage += damage;
        const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
        inventory.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, itemStack);
    }

}

durability(player, item, 50); 

I want it to break item if it go over max durability but it says error

[umbral scarab]

Can you send the full error? It'll help people find the issue

[buoyant canopy]

you are setting undefined to the player inventory, just don't set it

[shrewd wedge]

But how to remove item?

[wary edge]

Entityhurt is all damage type as you said. Entotyhitentoty is just when an entoty hits an entoty

[distant tulip]

entoty👀

[shrewd wedge]

It say this exact: "item damage can not be greater then max durability"

[buoyant canopy]

uhh, you set it to undefined. wait let me take a closer look

[wary edge]

Check if its greater then

Lemme see if i can pull out the script i used for adk lib

[shrewd wedge]

but is?

">=" greater then or equal to

[umbral scarab]

I've now got this error

[wary edge]

csn you post that line

[buoyant canopy]

check if the damage is greater than max, if so, set the item to undefined

[umbral scarab]

^all the code is up here @shy leaf

[wary edge]

Im guessing bc the entity is undefined

[shy leaf]

oh

[wary edge]

Check if the damageSource is an enttiy forst

[umbral scarab]

don't worry chat moved fast lol

[shrewd wedge]

Yes I do?

Code is that

[shrewd wedge]

It is for on use

[shy leaf]

you could use optional chaining

[buoyant canopy]

sean is definitely on a phone 😂

[wary edge]

Doesnt matter. The link i sent shows a script to decrease durability

[shy leaf]

its probably happening when the player doesnt have anything in those slots

[wary edge]

Thats not the issue, the issue is entity is undefined

[shy leaf]

o

[wary edge]

Bc hes using damageSource whoch mau or may not have a damaging entoty

[shy leaf]

hard to tell from here

[wary edge]

Immaculate spelling errors

[umbral scarab]

I think its something to do with this. I put log here and it sends nothing to the log at all. So if its undefined, its probably back here which makes me think it's something to do with adding the damagingEntity

[wary edge]

Add
if(entity==undefined) return

Underneath const entity

[shrewd wedge]

But is same as mine?

[wary edge]

Nope

[shrewd wedge]

It see if durability damage >= max durability and set undefined item?

[wary edge]

Yours checks for damage alone. Mines check for damage + the damage to add

[umbral scarab]

im getting neither log

very confused

[wary edge]

Do console.warn

[shrewd wedge]

Is console.warn

[umbral scarab]

oop

[wary edge]

Unless youre in preview or using vscode debugger

[shrewd wedge]

Sorry am not understand

[umbral scarab]

yeh its undefined

[wary edge]

Cool, hoe are you testing this code?

[umbral scarab]

taking fall damage

[wary edge]

Thats why, bc fall damage doesnt have a damaging entity. Tada

Now punch the entity and you should get your findGem executed

[umbral scarab]

how can I change it so it tracks all damage taken though like fall damage, fire etc

[wary edge]

What is findGem for?

Yknow what, open a post and post your code and what youre trying to achieve. Bc rn all i can adsume is youre checking if an entoty hits an entoty and that entoty has a gem

[umbral scarab]

basically im trying to make it so theres a 15% chance of the damage source being blocked

[shrewd wedge]

is not possible

[umbral scarab]

I know I cant cancel the event but im measuring the incoming damage and just simply healing it afterwards

[shrewd wedge]

But if player die?

[umbral scarab]

then they die

[shrewd wedge]

But you cannot test 15%

[umbral scarab]

ye ik

[shrewd wedge]

ok

[umbral scarab]

its intentional feature I want anyways

[shrewd wedge]

Oh

What is your error?

[umbral scarab]

I've got it figured out now anyways

[shrewd wedge]

Ok

[umbral scarab]

Thank you @wary edge and everyone else <3

[shrewd wedge]

Can you help

[ivory bough]

Hey guys is there any way to make custom spawn rules? I want my entity to look for a gap in stone in caves and spawn there or just dig out a random spot between stone near the player and spawn my entity there. Is this possible?

[wary edge]

That seems like a #1067869022273667152 question. Using the spawn rules json

[ivory bough]

But it's not possible using normal spawn rules.

[wary edge]

You just want it to spawn undergroudn though right?

[ivory bough]

No

In between groups of stone in caves for example 9×9 of full stone and near the player and also digging the spot before spawning between stone

[alpine ibex]

Is this possible?

if (entity.is!OnGround) {

[wary edge]

!entity.isOnGround

[alpine ibex]

Is that even a real thing

Just confirming

[cold grove]

Read the docs and confirm

[wanton ocean]

Docs schmocks

What we really need is a website or database that properly displays this information for us to view for reference

[valid ice]

Stirante scripts
Jayly dev
Npm types

[wanton ocean]

Don’t say it.

My WiFi was too slow

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/

So...docs

[wanton ocean]

He was two steps ahead..

[cold grove]

That are already the docs

[wanton ocean]

No.. nah..

[valid ice]

MS docs are fine, it just takes a bit to get used to their navigation.

[wanton ocean]

Bait used to be believable

[alpine ibex]

We r to dumb now show us step by step for hours until we get it

[wanton ocean]

Okay I shall stop this tomfoolery at once

[valid ice]

What’s your problem with the options we’ve provided?

[alpine ibex]

It's not suitable for my little microfiber brain

[cold grove]

Maybe people are starting his learning curve from too high

[alpine ibex]

Too complicated to do

[valid ice]

NPM types alone provide autocompletion, examples for certain things, and typing suggestions

[alpine ibex]

Erm Nah

[wanton ocean]

Guys

I think I found the references we need

Stirante scripts

[alpine ibex]

What Big Black Money?

[wanton ocean]

What.

[alpine ibex]

Big. black. stacks Of Hard money

[cold grove]

People want to do a complicate algorythm without the basics, like object oriented progamming

[alpine ibex]

That's what I said

[wanton ocean]

[alpine ibex]

Nanda

[valid ice]

What are you looking for

What do you require from a docs site

[alpine ibex]

Also I tried to replicate Dummmmmmmy from Java edition

And is 40% successful

[wanton ocean]

So basically I want to light everything on fire on using an item, but the fire can’t be ignited on the user and only other entities within the radius

[alpine ibex]

Feels so ez to do

[wanton ocean]

So I did set block at first

With commands

But it still ignited the user

[alpine ibex]

How do you ignite someone with commands😭

[wanton ocean]

And I was gonna make a exception with tags but it’d go against a bunch of things

[cold grove]

Youre using commands in scripting

[wanton ocean]

It’s as a base for what I want

[valid ice]

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

[wanton ocean]

Finally…

[alpine ibex]

[cold grove]

Oh Xd

[wanton ocean]

My mind has expanded ten fold

I can now light my friends on fire with ease

[alpine ibex]

My mind will lose brain cells if I again try to use those Ms script docu

[valid ice]

This method is provided on all the sites
Jayly dev
Stirante scripts
Ms docs
Npm types

Just gotta know where to find it and how to use it

[cold grove]

Get all entities in a radius but use excludeNames

[valid ice]

Again, I don't get your problem with the docs sites. They have a search bar, you can browse the methods, the descriptions are apt.

No matter what you do, some level of work is required. Such is life.

[wanton ocean]

Doc sites are cool

I was just joking

[valid ice]

If you really want, use AI. you will get incorrect methods if you do not train it (which requires work), nut it can do the work for you in that sense.

Hard to tell nowadays

[scarlet sable]

How does a vector work?

[valid ice]

A vector is a point in 3D (or 2D) space

[scarlet sable]

Oh so just x y z coords?

[valid ice]

Yes

[scarlet sable]

Ty

Also ik it's possible to get player position but can you get player rotation too?

[valid ice]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entity?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental#getrotation or https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entity?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental#getviewdirection

[scarlet sable]

I forgot that was a thing lmao

Th

Ty*

[valid ice]

Get rotation returns an x & y vector with the pitch & yaw of the entity
Get view direction returns a normalized x y z vector

[distant tulip]

getRotatioon()

nvm didn't see herobrine message

[scarlet sable]

Lol

Ty tho

[scarlet sable]

can you explain what a callback is pls?

[fallow rivet]

How do I prevent water from flowing into a claim?

[scarlet sable]

the addon can read your head rotation

[inland merlin]

Dynamically you have to be very smart to find a way that won't lagg.

Plot systems could easily using invisible custom blocks... but dynamic landclaims it's a little harder.

Best strategy is prevent players from using the buckets in a distance from another claim and or height

Unless they own that claim etc

[scarlet sable]

is it possible to make a digital suite?

using js of course

[inland merlin]

?

[scarlet sable]

for exemple i want the code to memorize a number of coords

so everytime you use for exemple !coord your coords get saved

but yiu don't want a limit

[inland merlin]

Like an array of coords to be used for something?

You can easily use a custom script api database to make data persistent.

Anyone here probably has one in an addon somewhere

[lyric kestrel]

I think I'm going to try make add-ons again

Haven't done that in ages

[scarlet sable]

oh i see

that's intresting

[inland merlin]

Utilizes custom made classes to allow the script creator to use scoreboards or dynamic properties easier

[scarlet sable]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((event) => { const message = event.message; const player = event.sender

[scarlet sable]

event is a function right?

[lyric kestrel]

event is the call for chatSend that you assigned

[scarlet sable]

this code saves the content of the message and it sender

[scarlet sable]

oh

that makes much more sense

[lyric kestrel]

it calls this word, which calls chatSend

[scarlet sable]

oh so subscribe is just there as a shortcut right?

[inland merlin]

Grabs the info/data from that "event" (e.g : player breaks a block) if the event is subscribed to the world it will listen for those things

[scarlet sable]

shorter script i mean

[inland merlin]

Not sure what you mean

[lyric kestrel]

You need subscribe to basically activate it

[inland merlin]

(Subscribe) For the script to "listen" constantly.

[last latch]

ahh yes let me guess :
end stone brick wall === cobblestone_wall
(just like dirt === coarse_dirt)

[inland merlin]

🤯

[last latch]

my beloved api

[distant tulip]

callback is function
in your example
world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((event) => {})
the callback is ((event) => {}
the api calls the callback function and passes the event object to it which we can use then to retrieve the event arguments

[distant tulip]

cobblestone have 14 block under the same id

cobblestone_wall*

[lyric kestrel]

Is the latest API 1.13.0?

And how do I see which is and which functions/classes I can't use?

[distant tulip]

pc?

[lyric kestrel]

ye

I can't find Jayly's site

[distant tulip]

hover over the function in vs code

[distant tulip]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/1.21.20/

[lyric kestrel]

thank you

[scarlet sable]

sheesh

ty ty

this stuff is low-key fun ngl

[valid ice]

There's worse things to spend time on for sure lol

[scarlet sable]

fr lol

[scarlet sable]

btw how come your VS give you descriptions?

[distant tulip]

npm packages

install node js and the server version you need

[scarlet sable]

oh that's what it's for

cool af

how do i change the bit limit after the dot?

16 is too much

[valid ice]

Number.toFixed(decimals)

[distant tulip]

number.toFixed(amount)

[scarlet sable]

ty

[valid ice]

Where decimals is tue number of places to display to

[scarlet sable]

does that mean i can have more than 16?

[valid ice]

Note that the value does round, so 179.789 would round to 179.79 if toFixed(2) was used

[scarlet sable]

oh approximation

[valid ice]

Yes, but the game only stores to 16, so any added after would just be zeros

[valid ice]

Just rounding

[scarlet sable]

makes sense

[distant tulip]

that is new to me lol

[scarlet sable]

if a constant is null

and you try to give it a value

will it like accept the first value?

or just stay null

[valid ice]

Wdym

[scarlet sable]

let's say you define
const X;

it's rn null

it has no value

[valid ice]

Yes

[scarlet sable]

if i later in the code try to give it a value will it accept it?

[valid ice]

It will not, as constants cannot be changed

If you use let, it will work, yes

[scarlet sable]

what can a null const be used for tho?

[valid ice]

[scarlet sable]

yep let is a var

[scarlet sable]

real

[valid ice]

I personally have never used var, nor do I plan on using it

[scarlet sable]

var is the same as let isn't it?

[valid ice]

Never found a use for it that other variables haven't been able to do

Var is global scope, let is local

[scarlet sable]

oh that's useful

what are your projects btw?

like done addons

[valid ice]

Chest UI & realm packs are public on my github. But I have private addon packs for servers I develop for

[scarlet sable]

you work on the marketplace?

[valid ice]

I do not

[scarlet sable]

import { ChestFormData } from './extensions/forms.js';

you made your own library?

Utilizes custom made classes to allow the script creator to use scoreboards or dynamic properties easier

or that

[valid ice]

Json ui magic to make a server form look like a chest

[scarlet sable]

wtf 💀

my brain

[valid ice]

And extensions to the vanilla APIs is very much possible, and pretty useful

[scarlet sable]

you recoded a server form with it ui to look like a chest?

[valid ice]

LeGend did most of the work in that regard, but yeah that's the idea there

[scarlet sable]

mind blowing

I'm even more surprised you do that for free

[valid ice]

I don't believe in selling packs lol

[scarlet sable]

ads maybe

[valid ice]

Anything I think is good enough to sell I keep private

[scarlet sable]

there are lots of ethical ways to profit

[scarlet sable]

i see

[distant tulip]

var is weird
it can be accessed from outside the scope it is declared on (globally)

[scarlet sable]

btw when i want to give the var a new value i just do varname = value; right?

[valid ice]

Yep

[scarlet sable]

ty

[valid ice]

Unless it's a const

[scarlet sable]

yep

I'm making a simplified camera command addon

where you set the points using cemrapoint 1 2 3 etc.

[valid ice]

And I would recommend against type combining (e.g. setting a variable to a number and then a string later on in the code)

[scarlet sable]

then it compiles the coords and rot for you

[scarlet sable]

nah that sounds like the best way to forget what everything is for

[distant tulip]

i was going to make one using this https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1167420026291245086

[scarlet sable]

unknown

[distant tulip]

just click it

[scarlet sable]

damn

I'm not planning on making new easing functions

[distant tulip]

it is not one? i think?
ease are client side

[scarlet sable]

and the particles are unnecessary for me

ye i think so

[distant tulip]

this video uses it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8veG_RHvA3I

[scarlet sable]

but you can work arround it

[scarlet sable]

been so long since i watched a vid in arabic lmao

kinda nostalgic

[distant tulip]

lol
no arabic there just the title
i translate all my videos

[scarlet sable]

fair

the thing is the bedrock camera is laggy

idk why

even with the vanilla command

[scarlet sable]

btw are the heads costume items?

[distant tulip]

yeah

item and block and attachable

[scarlet sable]

mhm

[distant tulip]

i have a bot that generate them from a skin and a name

[scarlet sable]

why is the first const an error?

[distant tulip]

open {}

[scarlet sable]

oh ye

ty

btw using vars for this one would be stupid

is there a way to make like a data base system?

[distant tulip]

array

[scarlet sable]

?

[distant tulip]

? for?

[scarlet sable]

wdym array?

[distant tulip]

you don't know what array are?

const cameraPointes = []

cameraPointes.push(location1)
cameraPointes.push(location2)
cameraPointes.push(location3)
...

[scarlet sable]

nope that's new for me

sounds like the perfect tool

[distant tulip]

it can store stuff inside
and yo can call them with an index
cameraPointes[0] is location1

[scarlet sable]

each one under is a ceperate const?

oh

[glacial widget]

is that good bro

[scarlet sable]

like allPlayer[0]

like this one?

[valid ice]

Only as good as you make it

[glacial widget]

nice one

[glacial widget]

thanks herobrine64

[distant tulip]

yeah that one return the first element in that array

[scarlet sable]

it's from the microsoft guide ngl

is there an article about it in the microsoft website?

[glacial widget]

oh everyone else just uses forEach()

[distant tulip]

it is a javascript thing not a script api

[scarlet sable]

oh ye i saw that

[distant tulip]

that is unrelated

[scarlet sable]

oh that's much better actually

[glacial widget]

how comes

[scarlet sable]

to arrays he means i think

[glacial widget]

yh ur right

[distant tulip]

no it is array related

[glacial widget]

but players are a array?

alright time for the bedtime

[scarlet sable]

ohh ye i remember now

[distant tulip]

forEach is self explanatory

[scarlet sable]

they work like
const potato [1 ,2 ,3] right?

[distant tulip]

they?

[scarlet sable]

it

whatever lol

[distant tulip]

referring to?

[glacial widget]

potato = [] is a array

[scarlet sable]

yep

[glacial widget]

potato = {} is a object

[scarlet sable]

ye i remembered

it's pretty cool

still not what i meant

[glacial widget]

just learn javascript first before doing script api, way better

[distant tulip]

arrays have some cool functions
searching mapping filtering ...

[valid ice]

Real

[scarlet sable]

can i make each var in an array into an object?
