Are you using VSCode?
If so, you may want to...
- add
//@ts-checkat the top of your js files. - make sure to install the latest npm files so it can intellicode correctly
- use jdoc notation above functions do define what the types are
This will keep you out of a lot of typos. There is one more, it is to see the TS annotations. It helps a lot to catch ahead of time..... I am not sure how I did it though...

shy leaf
while falling
shy leaf
so that i can change attack component value from negative to positive while fall...
to elaborate on this, players have -10000 attack component value when theyre not holding a mace and is not falling
and when the player falls for more than 1.5 blocks, it triggers a component group that removes the old attack component and add the new attack component with value of 1 so that the mace can do damage
if the player did not fall for 1.5 blocks, it uses the combat system i made
but apparently the mace just refuses to do damage sometimes lol
neat hound
Is it that the mace does not change, or the code did not make it there?

yeah, if everyone did things the long way, or the way that resembles English, the beginners would have a much easier time... but the cool way is to lamda it all up into the shortest code possible so that others have to really know their stuff to decipher....

Arrow functions exist to circumvent oddities with the this keyword. People treat them like "short functions;" when you go to debug that code, you will see a lot of "at <anonymous>" in the stack trace.
You can benefit from named functions and arrow functions by assigning it to a variable and using that variable like a function

Would anyone know how I would go about preventing fall damage from specific play...
I've made this after following up from a question and conversation I had yesterday but this semi works. This seems to only take into account that players tag once the world has reloaded and not every time someone takes damage. If you spawn into the would with the tag but then remove it, you'll still take no fall damage. Any solutions?

After more testing I feel like it's not even checking the players tag and is just acting on whether deals_damage is true or false

Unless you know the exact location of any specific chest it will be a heavy task...
I know the location
untold magnet
well well well, i had some issues
untold magnet
i had to make a script that will spawn an entity at the block location when it has been placed ( already )
and when the entity is out of the block range it will teleport back to the same block, like saving the block location,
if the block disappeared, the script will trigger an event
lemme explain
remote oyster
it will sit on top of a custom block I made
That simplifies it then. I'll follow up later to see if someone already helped you. I can't write the code. Literally just got an emergency call lol.

lemme explain
when u place the block, the entity will spawn and save the block location, when the entity somehow moved out of the block or the block has been pushed by a piston, it will teleport back to the last saved location,
if it teleported back and the block was different it will trigger an event

here's some code I have, it's not perfectly tailored to your solution but should start you off in the right way:
const chest = world.getDimension("overworld").getBlock({x: 10097, y: -59, z: 10000});
const chestInvComp = chest.getComponent("inventory");
item = chestInvComp.container.getItem(slotId);
slotId is a variable that I have to select specific slots
but you can loop through the container based on the number of slots the container has and check for coal and remove 1 from the itemStack
this is your loop:
for(let i = 0; i < chestInvComp.container.size; i++)

const map1 = new Map();
map1.set('a', 1);
map1.set('b', 2);
map1.set('c', 3);
can i make the value 1 for exemple an object?
sharp elbow
Yea, you can put any value in a Map.
scarlet sable
let's go
scarlet sable
what about a array?
sharp elbow
Yup, those too
scarlet sable
how will it work tho?
sharp elbow
Put an array in place of 1. So something like [1, 2, 3]
scarlet sable
no like how will I summon it?
since when you use maps you only call the name so like the a
sharp elbow
Are you wanting to get the value of a key in a Map? That would be map1.get(<your key>), with <your key> being, well, a key
rose light
I did it guys, thanks for the help
scarlet sable
ok for example
const Player = new map();
map1.set('a',PlayerCount=[1,2,3,4]);
don't mind the mistake
set is after map
but ye
if i call a what will happened here
sharp elbow
Well, it's invalid syntax. PlayerCount[1,2,3,4] will confuse JavaScript
scarlet sable
yep
sharp elbow
What is PlayerCount? Is that an array you have defined before? Like: const PlayerCount = [1,2,3,4];?
sharp elbow
OK, then your example would look more like this:
const PlayerCount = [1,2,3,4];
const Player = new Map();
Player.set('a', PlayerCount);
In which case, calling Player.get('a'); will return the array PlayerCount is assigned to, whose contents are currently [1,2,3,4]

if a player sends SetCameraPoint the scripts checks if the CameraPoint1 has a value of null if it does it gives it a new value (CameraPoint1 is an object btw) so pos gets the valus of the function getplayerposition and rot gets getplayerrotation
camera point 1 has 2 characteristics as an object which are pos and rot

In the marketplace
sharp elbow
Of course, they're people like us too, and liable to make mistakes. Not everyone knows everything off-hand
scarlet sable
Fair point

Now if you were to ask me about command wizardry, I might be able to do that without a reference, though I'm kinda rusty
scarlet sable
Is anyone a member of a marketplace company?
scarlet sable
Oh
neat hound
I am not
scarlet sable
Interesting

not me
sharp elbow
I consider myself a hobbyist first before a Marketplace company employee though
wary edge
Like wise
scarlet sable
Is like each member assigned for a specific task? Or just the code kinda flies from one person to another?

What is the stuff i need to focus on when it comes to js?
neat hound
Even take the FREE famous Harvard class that teaches a lot of basics
valid ice
Depends- just script API stuff? Or web dev stuff as well?
distant tulip
depend on your goal
scarlet sable
Api atm
valid ice
Because a decent chunk of JavaScript can be cut out if you’re just interested in script API
scarlet sable
I want to start making add-ons nothing else
sharp elbow
Really just knowing the primitive language features, and being familiar with both an object-oriented design (you're doing this already with methods like Array.sort()) and a functional design (writing functions to re-use code)
scarlet sable

Yep
Btw has anyone use a matrix in a code before?
sharp elbow
Mm, I haven't but I have meant to
distant tulip
tbh i find my self a lot making scripts outside the api to help in the addons development it self
valid ice
2D array?
sharp elbow
JS lets you make arbitrarily deep arrays by nesting them together, but there are not any native matrix libraries (that I know of)

Looking at the api library i think it's limited a little

I also possess an extremely poor understanding of linear algebra so I probably will not be working with matrices anytime soon lol

Yeah, that is how I really got my feet wet. Writing my own regolith manifest maker, complete with fetch the latest version for stable/beta/preview. i love my filter, makes my life easier.
scarlet sable
But i wonder if i Ill get the chance to do that
distant tulip
Looking at the api library i think it's limited a little
to the most users it is "good enough"
a lot of great addons have been made by it
sharp elbow
Oh absolutely. In my Calc III class we are working with vectors a lot, and I already have some practice from writing a small Vector library
sharp elbow
Goes both ways. What I learn also helps me understand what vectors are doing better (cross products were so confusing)
scarlet sable
That'll be fun
valid ice
Vectors are very fun :3
neat hound
there is an other format if you want to store the dimension in there too...
scarlet sable
I thought at first it was a physics vector
I would've probably never self guessed it was just x y z coords
scarlet sable
All the same, really
Kinda
In school it's identified with intensity and direction
But ig you can get these info using coords
valid ice
In Minecraft it can be both stored in the same format
distant tulip
locations are not vectors in physics
valid ice
E.g. block location, or view direction
scarlet sable
In Minecraft it can be both stored in the same format
How?

I KNEW THERE was... a dimension enum.... MinecraftDimensionTypes
abstract cave
Idk why it gives me this error, im clearly geting the tags from the equippableItem variiable
at forEach (native)

Here my code
```js
system.runInterval(() => {
world.getAllPlayers().forEach(player => {
if (!player) return;
const equippable = player.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");
const equippedItem = equippable?.getEquipment("Mainhand");
const itemTag = equippedItem.getTags();
if (equippedItem && equippedItem?.typeId === "wands:wand" || itemTag === "wands") {
player?.runCommand(`title @s actionbar §b:: Mana: ${mana}/${maxMana} ::`);

I know.. I know.. I got a son and even he says it sometimes ( when I bug him too much)
scarlet sable
I'll be careful next time
neat hound
It is not that serious
distant tulip
neat hound
LOL.... I am a bonafide smart-ass
but the auto-pilot thing is key.... to function in the real world, using filters is important
call your lady boss that.. and see what happens
distant tulip
yeah
some time it is needed
you get used to things that it just feel right
neat hound
you get used to that because the new generation is not slapped upside the head for mistakes like that... LOL
distant tulip
just not used in speaking in a community tbh
big change from facebook to discord
neat hound
Scripting Gods... in your opinion an arrow function good for the dimension list?
neat hound
I need a string array of the valid dimensions... to use whereever... so const dimeList = ... world...getAll().map( x -> x.typeId) without being exact
cause i did not do it in vscode yet
wary edge
Why not use the vanilla enums?
neat hound
cause it is hardcoded and if another is added and I did not do the npm and copy the file to my library...
wary edge
Thats...a concern sure
neat hound
so if a new one added, me screwed
wary edge
Not for a long time
neat hound
I know, but I do not want to update an add-on for THAT
I think I will make a vanillaListClass.. and just pull most that are avail in the API... so I have the code ready...
wary edge
https://stirante.com/script/server/1.13.0/classes/DimensionTypes.html why not? Then loop through?
Im just confused really on when you would need to use what you suggested unless ots to execute in all dimension
neat hound
I do not want to do that each time..... seems like I should make function that I can use over and over and in diff places.. .like a library
distant tulip
won't that get outdated when the new api comes out (alpha or idk)
neat hound
no.. si I can do if (dimes.includes(dimParm))
distant tulip
ok?
wary edge
Its like BlockTypes which take into account addons as well
distant tulip
oh yeah
neat hound
Yeah, I found that and was stokked, that I can get that list to validate blocks... even has user blocks
wary edge
no.. si I can do if (dimes.includes(dimParm))
I need like a real world use case example to really understand what you need
neat hound
I need to verify the param```js
/**
*
- @param {string} command
- @param {string} [dimension='overworld']
- @param {number} tickDelay
*/
export function worldRun (command, dimension = 'overworld', tickDelay = 0) {
if (command && DimensionType[ dimension ])
if (tickDelay < 1)
system.run(() => {
world.getDimension(dimension).runCommand(command);
});
else if (tickDelay >= 1)
system.runTimeout(() => {
world.getDimension(dimension).runCommand(command);
}, tickDelay);
}```without using hard-coded data
but I've been a programmer toooooo long to just keep writing the same code over and over, so I am building my own libraries
wary edge
I need to verify the param```js
/**
*
* @param {string} command
* @param {s...
DimensionTypes.get(string)?
If undefined...return
sharp elbow
if undefined, throw!
neat hound
yeah, I figure I used it wrong up there.. and I did not get an error
neat hound
if undefined, throw!
no... LOL
simple zodiac
I need to verify the param```js
/**
*
* @param {string} command
* @param {s...
make the second param be a keyof DimensionType or directly the enum member
neat hound
not in a game.. just get nothing, programmer should be testinging
wary edge
if undefined, throw!
And never handle the error!
Yeah im not really seeing an issue here nikki
sharp elbow
But actually, throwing an error means you leave it up to the end user to decide what to do if the dimension does not exist. Which is better than it silently failing, if they were waiting on it do something
And when (if) we get data-driven dimensions, it makes this more useful
buoyant canopy
throw is the most useless keyword for general scripting, why would you generate an error if you aren't making a library or a class?
simple zodiac
the question is
