Script API General

[simple zodiac]

are you not writing libary code?

its a good practice

[wary edge]

Sure...but in Nikkis case...it is unlikely shes writing a lib for other users

[sharp elbow]

Still good to sanity check yourself too

[buoyant canopy]

no i mean when writing scripts for your own addon

[simple zodiac]

yeh ik

[neat hound]

it is for a library file

fake class

[shy leaf]

does anyone have a code that changes x angle (in Entity.getRotation().x) to x and z in vector3

[sharp elbow]

I have this bit still in my program meant to ... remind me to fix it, if it ever does break

[shy leaf]

mine just broke for some reason

[sharp elbow]

The x-rotation to x and z coordinates? That doesn't really make much sense

The y-rotation I could understand

[neat hound]

isn't what x/y means diff

[shy leaf]

waaait

[buoyant canopy]

const {x, z} = Entity.getRotation()

[shy leaf]

i mean like

[neat hound]

one for where looking up/down , other for body angle

[sharp elbow]

You're wanting an atan2 function of some kind(?)

[shy leaf]

changing it into radian or something (i dont do math)

and my school wifi died again

[shy leaf]

yeah that

cant believe i forgot about that even though my first ever project used it 💀

[sharp elbow]

Actually, atan2 would be the reverse process—turning a position into an angle. You want to turn an angle into a position

[shy leaf]

did my school wifi die again

oh it didnt

[sharp elbow]

That would be plugging the rotation into Math.cos and Math.sin for z and -x, respectively, the angle being multiplied by π/180 (approx 0.0174532925)

[shy leaf]

neato, ty

(also did you memorize that number)

[sharp elbow]

Nah, pulled up my calculator on Windows and crunched it

[shy leaf]

ah

[sharp elbow]

Although I do recall pi up to maybe the 8th 18th digit

[neat hound]

Sprunkles.. I kinda FF thru the JS throw error part of class... what is the best way for the API... just console.error? or actual throw?

[sharp elbow]

I actually don't know what console.error does. Other than log something

[neat hound]

LOG FILE

I mean, that is where the erros pop up

[wary edge]

Its the same as .warn or .log

[neat hound]

mc js, has no .log

sad

[wary edge]

It does

[neat hound]

my logs have to say warn

[sharp elbow]

The throw keyword terminates script execution from the point it is at. The end user would need to wrap the function in a try ... catch expression to prevent it from causing problems

[neat hound]

nothing shows up when I use... I tried them all... or does the log say warn.. I forgot..

[wary edge]

Pre 1.21.30, .log will only log to the file. Post 1.21.30 it will display in the gui

[neat hound]

oh

[sharp elbow]

throw is good if someone is trying to do an illegal operation. Various scripting API calls already can throw errors, and scrupulous developers will use try .. catch to account for that failing

[neat hound]

yay

[sharp elbow]

Even better if you make your own Error subclass as part of a broader API design. I don't know enough about using that though

[distant tulip]

i use try catch only if there is a lot of things that can go wrong

[neat hound]

I just use my primitive js class ConsoleAlert { prefix = `§d${pack.packName}§r`; log (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) console.warn(`${this.prefix}: ${msg}`); } success (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) console.warn(`${this.prefix}: §aSuccess: ${msg}`); } warn (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) console.warn(`${this.prefix}: §6Warning: ${msg}`); } error (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) console.error(`${this.prefix}: §cError: ${msg}`); } }; //============================================================================== class ChatMsg { prefix = `§b${pack.packName}§r`; log (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) world.sendMessage(`${this.prefix}: ${msg}`); } success (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) world.sendMessage(`${this.prefix}: §aSuccess: ${msg}`); } warn (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) world.sendMessage(`${this.prefix}: §6Warning: ${msg}`); } error (msg = '', debug = true) { if (debug) world.sendMessage(`${this.prefix}: §cError: ${msg}`); } }; //============================================================================== export const alertLog = new ConsoleAlert() export const chatLog = new ChatMsg()

I use for errors and debuging

I'm started to develop my own style for my addons to keep me consistent and easy to set up a new one. I do a settings.js to turn on/off stuff for testing and the code above is in there (which I should centralize)js export const pack = { packName: 'Tree Spider', isLoadAlertsOn: false, hasChatCmd: -1 }; //============================================================================== export const dev = { debugAll: false, debugCallBackEvents: false, debugChatCmds: true, debugEntityAlert: true, debugGamePlay: true, debugPackLoad: false, debugSubscriptions: false };

I am currently working on a tree spider... getting the json and scripting all lined up to make a little spider that goes all over and makes webs in trees and on plants... was a fun challenge...

move_to_block... was... fun...not

[buoyant canopy]

i find the try keyword useful for just silencing errors

for example i use it to test if a chunk is loaded, if it's not then it will throw an error that i just silence with js try {} catch (error) {null}

[neat hound]

Smokey... is system.run same as system.runTimeout with a 0 tick delay?

interchangeable?

[distant tulip]

one tick

[neat hound]

isn't system run, end of current tick

[sharp elbow]

This may be relevant: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/systemrunguide

[neat hound]

so you are saying timeout defaults to one if less than one?

[sharp elbow]

The system.runTimeout function behaves much like system.run except that it offers a new parameter that lets you indicate how many ticks into the future it should run. If that future tick is 0, it means the current tick or as soon as possible. If the parameter is 1, it behaves much like the standard system.run. A value of 2 means to skip the next tick and execute on the one after.

Be careful with a time of 0 in system.runTimeout. It can run immediately—treat it with the same level of care as you would functions and recursion

[shy leaf]

export function viewDirection(player) {
    const viewCenter = {
        x: player.location.x-((Math.sin(player.getRotation().y*(Math.PI/180))*1.2)),
        y: ((player.location.y+player.getHeadLocation().y)/2),
        z: player.location.z+((Math.cos(player.getRotation().y*(Math.PI/180)))*1.2)
    }
    return viewCenter;
}```
ill never get used to math

ever

at least it works

[sharp elbow]

pro tip: store the y property from player.getRotation() and incorporate that in your calculations to make it faster

[neat hound]

I see. It is just that I take in a parm for the delay, and have 2 lines (if), when I could just have one.

what if -1... all hell breaks loose?

[shy leaf]

ye im just making the structure

[neat hound]

I should at least error check that

[shy leaf]

im organizing it later

[sharp elbow]

Minecraft finds a new timeline where the executed function happened in the previous tick, then forcefully transports the user to it

So you can force someone to enter a universe where there's a warzone in their own neighborhood, or one where a black hole is headed toward earth in 90 days

No ... more likely that it either treats it as 0 or throws an error

[neat hound]

So...I can build a timemachine add-on....

Sprunkles tells a joke... it is a new day....

[sharp elbow]

I'm not that bad of a drag! Am I?

[neat hound]

no... You are just gushing fountain of knowledge and I have never seen that side of you

and a no nonsense but very fair person...

was a great admin

[remote oyster]

Fun fact, if you define the default value for a drop down in a new instance of ModalFormData in server-ui with -1 it will not select an element from the array by default when you select the submit button. Thus, allowing you to not enforce a selection and rather offer an alternative such as an input from a text field.

dropdown(label, options, defaultValueIndex?): ModalFormData

Example:

modalForm.dropdown('Dropdown w/ default', ['option 1', 'option 2', 'option 3'], -1);

That parameter is optional so even if left undefined or directly passing undefined it will default to the first element in the array unless you explicitly pass it a negative value.

[neat hound]

Good to know.. whenever I venture that way... I will hit you up for your knowledge

but I will try -1 on runTimeout to see what happens for real tho... just so I know and can say I know.. LOL... unless Sprunkles was right and I go back in time... then,... gateKeeping that knowledge...

[distant tulip]

that nice
i was adding "none" option as a default value that don't don anything

[remote oyster]

Yea, I figured it out because I could not accept that as an option lol. My brain wouldn't allow it.

[distant tulip]

you just " figured it out" lol
how do you even do that

[neat hound]

usually by mistake

[remote oyster]

Nah, this one was intentional lol. Literally thought about it, plugged it in, ran a test build in a BDS environment, then confirmed it and was satisfied 😂

[neat hound]

Should negative one everything... see what happens... I'd like to buy that for -1 dollars....

[remote oyster]

Stumbled across it some days back. Can't remember exactly when. It was recent. Needed it because of how I dynamically build the GUI when called.

[distant tulip]

you should add it as a note in some of the docs

[neat hound]

as they say, necessity is the mother of invention...

[remote oyster]

August 31st is when I discovered it. Just checked my commit on GitHub lol.

[neat hound]

but what really happened is that his intention to find a solution was strong and his higher self put the answer in his field of potentiality for him to pluck out...

happens to me all the time

[remote oyster]

Still working on my GUI. Making a script that dynamically builds it based on the design of your other scripts built with command-line in mind has been a task.

[remote oyster]

Would prove to be handy in the doc specific to the example shared using the drop-down lol.

[neat hound]

[random flint]

That's actually a bad practice

getBlock() returns undefined if the block is an unloaded chunk.
While the Block class that isn't valid anymore can be tested with isValid()

[fair quarry]

Does someone know some workarounds to make something like "world.beforeEvents.entityDie"?

Cuz only the afterEvents exists

[valid ice]

Cancel all damage via damage sensor, apply damage & needed effects via entityhurt/entityhit events

[random flint]

1. damage sensor: cancel fatal damage
2. fake the health reduction.

[fair quarry]

K, thx I'll try

[buoyant canopy]

i didn't know that, i guess try is useless to me now

[random flint]

Use what you want, it's your code after all. I'm just telling you that silencing errors with try and catch is bad practice

[fiery solar]

Feel free to post math questions in the #1067535382285135923 channel.

[random flint]

What's 9 + 10?

-# well you asked for it, so...

[neat hound]

Uncalled for. You can keep comments like this to yourself, especially since you are are over an hour behind the conversation.

[fiery solar]

Sorry, I worded that poorly. I didn't mean to offend. It was a genuine invitation to encourage people to post for math-related help in the channel. I have a math degree and was a college math tutor for years so I wanted to let people know that there are people that would be willing to help with the complex math part even if it's not strictly script API related. (Also didn't realize how long it had been)

[true isle]

so question then, is there a way to check a 6x6 for blocks and place a block on any valid block within const of valid blocks to be checked and make the placement random that pulls from another const of blocks. similar to the flowers/grass spread when bonemealing a grassblock?

if that makes sense

[neat hound]

Ok.

[random flint]

ahh, i see... basically recreating a bonemeal

[neat hound]

You can use the getBlocks() based upon a location, Took me a minute to figure out how to use it for my Tree Spider... but here is a small sample.```js
/**
* @param {Dimension} dimension
* @param {import("@minecraft/server").Vector3} location
* @param {number} [radius=1]
* @returns {import("@minecraft/server").Vector3[]}
*/
static blocksAround_locations (dimension, location, radius = 1, filter = {}) {
const atBlock = dimension.getBlock(location);
if (!atBlock) return [];
if (radius === 0) radius = 1;

    const bottomOffset = atBlock?.offset({ x: radius * -1, y: radius * -1, z: radius * -1 });
    const topOffset = atBlock?.offset({ x: radius, y: radius, z: radius });
    if (!bottomOffset || !topOffset) return [];

    const blockVolumeDef = new BlockVolume(bottomOffset.location, topOffset.location);
    const blockVolumes = dimension.getBlocks(blockVolumeDef, filter, true);
    return [ ...blockVolumes.getBlockLocationIterator() ];
}```the filter object can take a few properties```

excludePermutations
excludeTags
excludeTypes
includePermutations
includeTags
includeTypes```Once you have the location array back, you can get blocks. If this is of interest, I can post the other 2 functions I made.
I currently use it to find the air or web blocks around a location.
This example is a cube, but can be converted for 2D with the blockVolumeDef...
So for example, if for like bonemeal, do 2D, filter on grass block, get array back, randomize and take a few of the locations for conversion

[random flint]

Isn't bonemeal use radius?

...in spherical shape

Smokey—I mean, Llama has bonemeal script: #1067870355814895687 message

[still sorrel]

Hey, if anyone can help me that'd be great!

How can you script something like this (if it's even possible):

1. Place a block down and it detects the exact same block to the left or right of it
2. If the same block is to the left of the block, with the same rotation and has a certain texture on, change the texture of the current block to different one
3. If the same block is the right of the block, with the same rotation and has a certain texture on, change the texture of the current block to different one
4. If both same blocks are on the left and right of the block, with the same rotation and has a certain texture, change the texture of the current block to a different one

[slow walrus]

yes it's possible

with block permutations

[still sorrel]

Thanks

[neat hound]

but right and left will be relative to where the player is standing/facing....

[still sorrel]

Not the block?

[neat hound]

not sure y ou can test for texture. You may need to keep a property in there to stand for texture.

[still sorrel]

Alright, but the right and left needs to be relative to the blocks position, is that possible?

[neat hound]

it matters because if I am facing west... north is my right

[neat hound]

what do you mean by block position... but if it is data captured within a state/trait/property... you can test for it in permutaions

[still sorrel]

The glow lichen in the middle will test for the block to the left and if so it will change it's texture. Same for the right.

Is that possible?

[neat hound]

are you trying to get it to not look the same?

if it is a block, there is a auto way for that

[still sorrel]

I'm trying to make a block change to a different one so that it connects seamlessly with the block next to it.

[still sorrel]

Really? What's it called?

[neat hound]

well connected blocks, is not the same thing as variation/randomness

Iif I recall correctly.. it is done via blocks.json

[still sorrel]

Yes, I'm trying to do connected blocks, sorry.

[neat hound]

you can look at code for connected blocks like that above.. it will have kinda what y ou need

[still sorrel]

Sort of like fences but instead of geometry changing, it's the texture.

[still sorrel]

Alright, thanks!

[neat hound]

search the discord.. Kaioga and Smokey have githubs with code and check #1067535712372654091

[still sorrel]

Thanks!

Good morning

[chrome flint]

how many dynamic properties can an entity have?

and how do i delete an existing one

[distant tulip]

as much keys you can get from 32k bit

[slow walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-detector-gif-9388384639890532829

there's no limit on the amount of dynamic properties

there's a limit on the sizes

[distant tulip]

keys too

[slow walrus]

yeah sizes is key & values

[distant tulip]

you will run out of keys eventually

[chrome flint]

alr

how do i remove a certain dynamic property

[distant tulip]

set it to undefined

[proud cliff]

I just finished updating Kai's fence template, this will give you what you need 🙂

[proud cliff]

also check out my post here for how I did a vertical connected glass https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1283097531349209172

[slow walrus]

nuh uh

what is 32767^65536

[still sorrel]

Thanks! It's so hard since I don't know how to use scripts

[distant tulip]

still limited

[slow walrus]

essentially infinite

[proud cliff]

dm me if you need a hand, I'm happy to help if I can

[distant tulip]

i don't even know if the game can handle a little bit of all that

[still sorrel]

Thanks, will do!

[slow walrus]

there's a higher chance the monkeys will type hamlet than you running out of keys

lmao

[distant tulip]

yeah but it is still limited 🤷‍♂️

[slow walrus]

if you made a new key every planck time (which is about 10^-43) seconds, it would still take 4.553 × 10^295880 seconds to max it out, which is about 1.438 × 10^295873 years

[distant tulip]

bruh i know the extend
when someone ask if there is a limit say there is but you won"t ever reach it (i guess i was supposed to say that too)

[true isle]

Yeeeess lol

[umbral scarab]

Am I able to add a cooldown to any item? Or is it just once with already existing cooldowns (ender pearl etc)? This is without creating a custom entity btw

[shy leaf]

items with cooldown category and cooldown length defined in the item can have cooldowns

though you cant add your own cooldown on vanilla items

[umbral scarab]

Ah ok tyty, that was what I thought lmao

[untold magnet]

sup, i want to make a limit of how many entities can be spawned, .playerPlaceBlock will spawn an entity after the player places a specific block, i had to make a limit of those entities, like placing 50 of that block will spawn 50 entities, but it will not spawn entities after it reaches the limit

what method should i use for that?

tags? properties?

[shy leaf]

dynamic properties

[buoyant canopy]

duplicate chat, move the copy to the right, filter all none achievements messages, modify its appearance, and replace the fade animation with an offset animation.

[buoyant canopy]

wait, this is the script API channel, then use player.sendMessage("your message" )

[amber granite]

You have two methods

@untold magnet

U can make a global variable

And then put the event or the event that spawns in it with if statement

Then save it every 10 blocks and 5 blocks in dynamic proprety

[untold magnet]

@amber granite j didn't get it

[amber granite]

Like this

let mobsNum = world.getDynamicProprety("mobsNum") ?? 1 ;
const limit = 50;
if ( mobsNum != limit ) {
//Put ur event here then save the number in dynamic proprety and retrieve it later
}

[untold magnet]

ohh that make sense

[amber granite]

Give me ur event

What event do u use ?

[untold magnet]

just a
entity.triggerEvent('exe:despawn')

uh, wait

that script will not spawn the entities, right?

[amber granite]

After 50 ?

Yes

[untold magnet]

alright so i dont need an event

i have to make it limited

[amber granite]

What ?

No

@untold magnet

U need increase the variable inside the event whenever the mob spawns

[untold magnet]

i tried putting the limit 3 to see if it works or not, it's not working

hmm

[untold magnet]

the system should stop spawning entities after spawning 50 of them, and the number of those entities should decrease when one entity is died

this should work? js world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(({ block }) => { if (block.typeId === 'my:block') { block.dimension.spawnEntity('my:blockEntity', block.center()) for (const entity of block.dimension.getEntitiesAtBlockLocation(block.center())) { let amount = entity.setDynamicProperty('limit') ?? 1; const limit = 3 if (amount != limit) world.sendMessage('Hi') } } })

no its not

[keen folio]

anyone help me with #1283463196728102953

[alpine ibex]

Does anybody know how to kill a mob with min HP? I like to kill them when they are 1HP they don't die for a amount of time like 2 seconds then after those they are killable also they can't be killed after /kill while in the state

[wanton ocean]

Could do damage sensor for fatal damage

[alpine ibex]

Can you show me it? I need an example please

[wanton ocean]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/invulnerable-entities.html#using-damage-sensor
I feel like it’s easier to use this

It has damage sensor stuff in it

[scarlet sable]

hello

[neat hound]

maybe in before placing, do a count and if over 49, cancel placement or change permutation to not do the spawn part

but that is for loaded chuncks

so tech can have more than 50 in world if move far away

[neat hound]

if no loot needed, can add event that cets client group with instant despawn component... can call that event outside anywhere

[alpine ibex]

No I wanted it to make it so It can survive /kill at 1 HP then after 1 second or 2 they're able to be killed again

[neat hound]

no one but a player can survive /kill

[alpine ibex]

Min hp mobs

Just by adding a min: on

minecraft:health
value: 20
min: 1
They can survive /kill

[neat hound]

is that a bug

what is the point of having a command to kill when it cannot kill

[alpine ibex]

Idk but it's there

[neat hound]

I would not count on something like that as permanent

[alpine ibex]

In java edition on a mod if you do/kill they won't die by after a few seconds they become damageable again

[neat hound]

if I do a /kill @e[whatever selectors]... it is because I am testing and they better f'n die

[alpine ibex]

Wanted to recreate it

[neat hound]

do a custom command

can your players use slash commands

[alpine ibex]

No

[sharp elbow]

/kill inflicts a mind bogglingly large amount of damage. In Java Edition I believe it is MAX_FLOAT, probably something similar in Bedrock. No amount of damage can defy a minimum health value, though

The health will ever only go as low as the minimum value set; so if that value is greater than 0, the entity cannot die by any conventional means

[alpine ibex]

Not even with despawn and environment sensor and damage sensor can kill it?

[sharp elbow]

Well, those are not killing the entity. Despawning simply removes it

I imagine the .remove method in scripting can remove it just fine too

[alpine ibex]

But I need to it die after a few secs by being able to deal damage to it tho

[sharp elbow]

With the minimum health set, that effectively becomes the lowest health. You would need to implement your own death animation and removal when the entity reaches that minimum health

[neat hound]

put the real kill event in runTimeout.. with a 40-60 tick delay

[sharp elbow]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/visuals/death-animations.html

Aw this article is useless here.

I thought it would have had a section for what I described

[alpine ibex]

ACTUALLY I needed this thank you anyways I'll just use a different means of invincibility

I needed transform thing for my other mob

[alpine ibex]

Do you know how I can make it so once they reach a certain Health they transform because I don't know how to do it

I would credit anyone that could help me with it

With my addon

[neat hound]

try the environment sensor.... see if a filter for health, then run an event to do what you want

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/filterlist?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[frozen vine]

Is it possible to receive an effect and have it not appear in the effects hud? Are they hidden?

[unique dragon]

you mean a hidden effect?

i think it's only possible using like 5 ticks

idk

[frozen vine]

yes, you receive it but the game doesn't tell you that you have the effect

[unique dragon]

so yes, it's using a smol number

but idk if is still working

for me before it was working

like 3 releases ago lmao

[frozen vine]

for example 1 second?

[unique dragon]

try with 5 ticks better

1 second is too much

[untold magnet]

hmmm, is there a way to detect the amount of entities? like if there're 3 entities at the loaded chunks it will be detected

i mean

[wary edge]

Use getEntities

[untold magnet]

after the player placed 50 blocks each block will have an entity, the script will test for how many entities are in the world, if there are 50 entities it will be detected and run a function after placing the same block ( the 51 entity will be removed )
||hoping i explained it right||

[untold magnet]

how exactly?

for (const entity of block.dimension.getEntities()) { ,,, }and?

[wary edge]

Use the entity filter options to grab just your entoty then check the array length

[untold magnet]

block.dimension.getEntities().filter(50)?

[wary edge]

No

Please read the docs

[amber granite]

@untold magnet

[untold magnet]

im reading the docs

[amber granite]

U did it the wrong way

U didn't even increment the variables

[untold magnet]

ik

[amber granite]

Or changed the name

Of the property

That must be setted

[frozen vine]

using the script does it count the time in ticks?

[amber granite]

Like this

let mobsNum = world.getDynamicProprety("mobsNum") ?? 1 ;
const limit = 50;
if ( mobsNum != limit ) {
//Put ur event here then save the number in dynamic proprety and retrieve it later
world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(({ block }) => {
  if (block.typeId === 'my:block') {
    block.dimension.spawnEntity('my:blockEntity', block.center())
  
      mobsNum++;
world.setDynamicProprety("mobsNum" , mobsNum);
 
})
}

[untold magnet]

i dont think i had to use this if i can detect how many entities are in the world

if the script detects 50 mobs it will run a function

[frozen vine]

or seconds?

[amber granite]

What ?

[amber granite]

Ticks

And every 20 ticks = 1 sec

[amber granite]

I can told u that , that s the most effecient way to do it

Because after exceeding the limit of 50 the event won't ever trigger= more performance

@untold magnet

[untold magnet]

the number of those entities should be degreasing when the entity is dead, i mean after i reach the limit i cannot spawn more entities, but when i killed some entities i will be able to spawn them u know what i mean

[amber granite]

Ah , so don't want to shut down ur event for ever ?

That remove the if statement

And add new event

Instead of the iterations

[untold magnet]

my brain not braining

[amber granite]

• put if statement inside the playerPlaceBlock event

[neat hound]

Should write a reusable function to count a certain entity period and add to a library of functions, organized your way, and then call it when you need it. It should either return a number or the array...... tech should have 2, one that returns the array and the one that returns the number calls the array one and you just return the count......

[amber granite]

X2 my brian isn't braining

[neat hound]

reusable code...

[amber granite]

Yeha but it doesn't need functions

U know

One variable and two events

[neat hound]

if you say so.... whatever

[amber granite]

Yeah

[untold magnet]

my brain for sale

[neat hound]

Which route to take will depend on several things.... if 50 is a world limit or a loaded limit. What if 2 players are doing this.... is it 50 period.... so @untold magnet .. if 50 period, no matter when, loaded or not loaded, do dynamic properties at world level... if loaded or just around a player... then can do dynamic on the player or do a local count.

a flow chart helps

when its too big

[amber granite]

U mean whether to handle the total of 50 mob for the whole world
Or 50 mob spawning ability for each player

[neat hound]

spell out the rules

[amber granite]

@untold magnet

[neat hound]

or what if 2 players in same area

all scenarios must be accounted for

3 players doing this far apart, then one logs off with 20 down

[untold magnet]

is it really important to have a limit?

[neat hound]

And.. if you are looking at API docs, no way you cannot find the entity filter options....

[untold magnet]

to provide lag from that dumb friend, yes but if ur friend kept placing the same block 200+ times, just kick him out the server

[neat hound]

It is your add-on, that is your decision

[untold magnet]

yah, i did some searches

[amber granite]

Yes because

You are bedrock player

[neat hound]

Bookmark this, like it was the link to your bank... https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/

[amber granite]

And others are bedrock's players too,
That means they are likely to be playing or android or ios ( mobiles )

[neat hound]

now go into the dimension class, find the getEntities method

[untold magnet]

bro the block that will use entities is quite expensive to make,

[amber granite]

☠️

[neat hound]

make sure you are on right version.. but any should be fine for this one

[amber granite]

Ok then

[neat hound]

that is his choice....

[untold magnet]

and none will keep using it, its for the start only

[amber granite]

So , 50 blocks in total is the limit across all the players and in the whole world?

Or every player can spawn 50 mobs

[untold magnet]

i better make no limitations, u can have infinity amount of entities, but W H Y

[amber granite]

U want to limit bro

[untold magnet]

50 for all players

[amber granite]

So

More questions

The entity gonna die when u destroy the block oy right ?

[untold magnet]

the entire world has a limit of 50 entities

[amber granite]

...

[untold magnet]

it will

[amber granite]

Hmm no other factors will kill it right ?

[neat hound]

so chickens.... and cows added to your block and players.... all just 50?

[amber granite]

• Did u write an playerBreakBlock event or other events like blockExplode to hande that ?

[untold magnet]

only /kill, and i think i can make it undieable by making it health 1

[neat hound]

just run a thing.... killing random over 50

[untold magnet]

i dont have to bro

[amber granite]

Why ?

[neat hound]

in that case of lag, loaded is what is important

[untold magnet]

i can make a system that will automatically kill the entity after it is out of the block

[amber granite]

So if u break the block ur system will detect that

And kill the entity

Is that system is made with script api ?

[neat hound]

what is this for, that helps to figure out the best way to do something... do you want the entity for anything, or is it there so you know some info?

What are you trying to stop?

[untold magnet]

look bro, theres so many ways u can destroy the block with, i dont have to make each way has it own system, i should just make a system that will test if the entity is inside the block, and if it wasn't inside the block it will be automatically killed

[amber granite]

It is made with script api right ?

[untold magnet]

yup

[amber granite]

• that s smart , i really made events for all those cases ☠️

I mean that s the smartest thing i ever seen today

[untold magnet]

the block will use onTick anyway, so i can teleport the entity if u pushed it with a piston

[amber granite]

Then make that system decrease the global mobsNum when u kill the entity

[neat hound]

if the entity is NOT in the block it will be auto killed... that is what you wrote.... it is not logical... how did it get outside of the block....

[distant tulip]

i was doing that in my banner markers addon
got a lot of situations where the entity get out of the banner
so i made it check by it self

[amber granite]

Why didn't u tell me ☠️

U could save me a lot of time

[distant tulip]

🤨

[untold magnet]

after breaking the block, or exploding it
or using other addons that somehow will teleport nearby entities

[amber granite]

U know the chunk loader i made

[distant tulip]

i did
i think?

[neat hound]

then have the entity use an enivro sensor and if it is not in_block then despawn

[amber granite]

No u didn't ☠️

[distant tulip]

give me a sec

[frozen vine]

There really isn't an icon, but the effect also keeps coming and going, as I want to do it with night vision, it doesn't look good.

[amber granite]

Then lemme write u a code for that

[untold magnet]

i already have it

[amber granite]

Like this

let mobsNum = world.getDynamicProprety("mobsNum") ?? 1 ;
const limit = 50;
//Put ur event here then save the number in dynamic proprety and retrieve it later
world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(({ block }) => {
if ( mobsNum == limit ) retrun;
  if (block.typeId === 'my:block') {
    block.dimension.spawnEntity('my:blockEntity', block.center())
  
      mobsNum++;
world.setDynamicProprety("mobsNum" , mobsNum);
 
})

// Ur system for killing the entity add for it this after the killing code 
mobsNum--;
world.setDynamicProprety("mobsNum" mobsNum);

[neat hound]

Just have the entity despawn if it is in minecraft:air.... you can do that in the entity's json... no extra work needed

[distant tulip]

i did

[untold magnet]

na, what will happen when u replace the block somehow?
the block will not be detected

i did it like this

[neat hound]

doesn't the new block spawn a new entity

[amber granite]

I didn't understand what that means

[untold magnet]

const block = entity.dimension.getBlock(entity.location)
if (block.typeId !== 'minecraft:dirt') delete.function.com

[neat hound]

it is like TNT, it is a block with an entity

[untold magnet]

simply it will detect everything except the dirt block

[distant tulip]

dm

[untold magnet]

the tnt block will turn into an entity after lighting it up, that can be easily done for me

[neat hound]

Is this any block, vanilla..... are you using player plack block to put an entity inside the block?

there is a missing piece of info here

[untold magnet]

im putting entities on my custom blocks to do work like custom { storage or furnace or chest }

[neat hound]

okay, I'm lost.... this is all over the place.... have fun guys

[untold magnet]

i also got a problem that is kinda weird, the script cannot detect hitting the entity

i think

i write it wrong

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({ damagingEntity }) => {
  if (damagingEntity.typeId === 'exe:grinder') damagingEntity.triggerEvent('exe:small')
})```i think so

i did it with any entity that hit my entity so it will work fine on the morph addon

i mean

in that morph addon, the player will be turned into different mobs and i think that will make it not be detected perfectly with scripts

[gaunt salmon]

I made more research and i found ut that the camera api is a bit too advanced

so ig it's time to switch projects

[untold magnet]

@neat hound hmmm, sorry for the ping but;
i thought about a really nice way to make a limit of entities blocks,
each player will have a limit of 50 block entities, if one of the players reach the limit, the script will no longer spawn an entity while placing the block, however if he breaks the block entities that he already built, he will be able to place the blocks back and spawn entities.

just like an entity counter, if one of the player has a 50 entities counted, and those entities are still in the world they will be detected, after he reaches the limit the spawning entities system will stop so he can place blocks but without spawning entities with it.

[neat hound]

Each person can place 50 blocks with entities? Different ways to go.

• But first I would make sure I can tag the entity with player name or even a stringyfied copy of the person's scoreboard player obj, the entity can have dynamic properties too.
• For the players I would probably use a scoreboard to add and subtract as the player does his thing. Use the scoreboard to decide whether or not to place the entity.
• now let's say you log off and someone else destroys one of your blocks... since the entity hold owner information you, in theory, should be able to subtract from his scoreboard entry.

Something like that.. that is off the top of my head.

[untold magnet]

my hands telling me to do it, but my brain is disagree

[distant tulip]

use dynamic properties in the world

• each block have a dp:
  include player id and entity id
• each player have a dp in world
  include how many blocks he have and there positions if needed
  when a block is broken check the dp with it corrds
  and get that player id and dp so you can decrees the amount

[neat hound]

depends on your challenge level and love it solving problems

[untold magnet]

apparently it used scoreboard alot, i dont really know about scoreboard system yet so I'll think about it later

i will be using scoreboards in the addon, generating energy required scoreboards, saving the energy inside blocks required scoreboards, traveling energy from the generator into the saver block requires scoreboards

i just had so much work to do, but making working furnace is quite hard to do,

i think

i had to use scoreboard on smelting things too

like, when the item is placed inside the entity inventory in a specific slot, it will start giving the entity a score, if that item is taken out the entity score will reset
if that score reaches like 20 it will be detected and stop the script from adding score to the entity and clear the item from that slot and place a different item in a different slot all at the same time

if i think about it yes, it is possible to make custom furnace that will work perfectly fine

i gotta learn about scoreboard system + dynamic property tomorrow

[warm drum]

I have some problem with the playAnimation(), I can't make the entity to play any animation at all

Even vanilla mob

world.afterEvents.buttonPush.subscribe(e => {
    let block = e.block;
    let dim = e.source.dimension;
    let creeper = dim.spawnEntity("creeper", block.center());
    creeper.playAnimation("animation.creeper.swelling");
})

For example this

Is it broken?

[empty quail]

How can one get the riders on an entity? Resolved

[shy leaf]

1. try setting blendOutTime
2. wrap creeper.playAnimation(...) with system.run() just in case

[unreal cove]

try a different animation, pretty sure animation.creeper.swelling requires variables otherwise u aren't going to even notice it

ooough

[untold magnet]

hmmm,

after i place the block and the entity spawn, the entity will get a property number like 0, when i place another block the entity will get a property number of 1, allway to 49

using that method i can fix a problem that will make the entity disappear while pushing the block with a piston

and make a limit of how many blocks each player can place

the only problem is, idk how to make the system set property each time the player place a block

gosh my hurt brains

what

location is the const of the block location

[distant tulip]

it is just a vector3
there is no runCommandAsync in it

do

const {x,y,z} = block.location
block.dimension.runCommandAsync(`fill ${x} ${y} ${z} ${x} ${y} ${z} air`);

or use fill native method

Anyone know how to rotate a block? (Any vanilla block and custom blocks if we can rotate custom blocks), I just want to know how to rotate a block if it can be rotated nothing else.

#1082528730242625546 message

But it's from a year

I'll test it out anyway

[abstract cave]

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((data => {
    const item = data.itemStack;
    const player = data.source;

    // Check if the item is a wand AND mana is 50 or more
    if (item.hasTag('wands:is_wand') && mana >= 50) {
        mana -= 50;  // Deduct 50 mana
        player.runCommand("/say I took ye mana");
        item.setLore(['Fireball']);
    } else if (item.hasTag('wands:is_wand') && mana < 50) {
        player.runCommand("/say Not enough mana!");


    }
}));

The code block runs smoothly, but the item lore doesnt get added, is there something im missing

[shy leaf]

do setItem

[chilly fractal]

Sadly doesn't work and neither does it work with the text at the very bottom of the post

how

[shy leaf]

actually no its setEquipment

[abstract cave]

so you mean ```js
item.setEquipment

```txt
Argument of type 'Location' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Vector3'.
  Type 'Location' is missing the following properties from type 'Vector3': x, y, zts(2345)```

[glacial widget]

is "dragon" a array or object?

[glacial widget]

const rayResult = dragon.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay(
  {
location: dragon.location,
  }
)

try this

idk what should i use, im completely lost

then that aint no javascript thing

  if(e.entity?.nameTag == "§d§lStarter") return e.entity.kill()
})

[shy leaf]

const entities = player.dimension.getEntities({
    type: "namespace:typeId"
});
console.warn(`${entities.length}`);

heres an example

[glacial widget]

o

[shy leaf]

you cant simply use nameTag for items

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

[glacial widget]

really?

[shy leaf]

you need to first get item component on entity, and then check for nameTag (on itemStack) on it

just checking for nameTag will try to track the entity's nameTag and not the item

[distant tulip]

you can also get what item is that exactly

[glacial widget]

really?

i thought that way would work best

[distant tulip]

yeah
item.getComponent("item")?.itemStack.typeId

[glacial widget]

the typeId is for the nameTag?

[untold magnet]

playerPlaceBlock.sub(({ block }) => {
block.dimension.spawnEntity('my:entity', block.center())
const entity = block.dimension.getEntities({ type: 'my:entity' }).?```

[distant tulip]

the item id
like minecraft:dirt

[glacial widget]

oh but am tryna get the nameTag

[solar dagger]

'dragon' is an object. Also this didnt work either. I added both location and direction parameters but doesnt seem to work either. I did this, seems to work:

        const rayResult = dragon.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay(
          dragon.location,
          updateRay
        );```

[glacial widget]

not id

[glacial widget]

oh alright

i was unsure if it was a object or array

[solar dagger]

yeah ill clarify next time, but thanks

[glacial widget]

yeah np

[solar dagger]

do you know how to set a block on fire? typescript blockRayResult.block

[glacial widget]

use .setType()

@glacial widget do you know how I can obtain the FOV of an entity?

Yes, you can add lore, or dynamic properties to set a specific value if needed.

    // Create a new ActionForm
    const form = new ActionFormData()

        .body("Choose a tool from the list below:");

    // Dynamically add buttons for each tool in the array

@inland merlin something like that but with scripting

Like isntead of matching an item, it matches a tag

I could do beforeBlockBreak event?

[inland merlin]

You would have to create your own loot class. But you could make your own setup I suppose.

[lyric kestrel]

own loot class?

[inland merlin]

well, code you can tap into for repeated use.

We can't use json loot tables into js (as far as I'm aware)

[lyric kestrel]

sorry, for acting ignorant, I haven't done add-ons in a few months xD

[inland merlin]

But you could structure it that way if you want.

You would have to create your own loot_table manager from scratch

In js, so basically you just use the before or after event

For breaking blocks

And could make it do whatever you want

[lyric kestrel]

hmm, I think I might do that

[inland merlin]

I made my own loot_table system for one of my addons for entities

I made an in game config for server owners (not perfect but worked)

For loot they wanted entities to drop

I had to add enchantment calculations (which I need to visit again)

[inland merlin]

So yeah you can do anything

With events

[lyric kestrel]

thank you

[untold magnet]

hmm

making a function that will add a dynamic property for an entity using const array = [ "M1", "M2" ] and add one of them to the entity,
if M1 property is used ( theres an entity in the world that has the M1 property id ) it will not use it and use the second property ( M2 )

[lyric kestrel]

Ok, Bit confused how to implement what I'm trying to do xD

Sorry to bother @inland merlin, need a bit of help if you don't mind

[inland merlin]

Make a new post

[lyric kestrel]

done

[serene radish]

is there any way to automatically set max players?

[shy leaf]

dont think there is a way

not sure about BDS though

[serene radish]

alr

[lyric kestrel]

import {system, world, ItemStack} from "@minecraft/server";
world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((e) => {
    const block = e.block;
    const player = e.player;
    const item = e.itemStack;
    const location = {
        x: block.location.x+0.5,
        y: block.location.y,
        z: block.location.z+0.5
    }
    const bauxite1 = new ItemStack("raw_iron", 1);
    const bauxite2 = new ItemStack("raw_iron", 2);
    const bauxite3 = new ItemStack("industry:raw_titanium", 1);
    //Loot table weight variable
    let weight = Math.random();

    const pickaxe_level3 = item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level3") || item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level4") || item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level5") || item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level6") || item?.typeId.includes("iron_pickaxe") || item?.typeId.includes("diamond_pickaxe") || item?.typeId.includes("netherite_pickaxe");
    const pickaxe_level4 = item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level4") || item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level5") || item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level6") || item?.typeId.includes("diamond_pickaxe") || item?.typeId.includes("netherite_pickaxe");
    const pickaxe_level5 = item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level5") || item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level6") || item?.typeId.includes("netherite_pickaxe");

    if(block.typeId.includes("bauxite_ore") && (pickaxe_level3)){
        if (weight < 0.38)
        {
            system.run(() => {
                block.dimension.spawnItem(bauxite1, location)
            })
        }
        if (weight > 0.37 && weight < 0.58)
        {
            system.run(() => {
                block.dimension.spawnItem(bauxite2, location)
            })
        }
        if (weight > 0.57 && weight < 0.63){
            system.run(() => {
                block.dimension.spawnItem(bauxite3, location)
            })
        }
    }
})```

I'm finally going to bed after finally getting it to work :¬)

[shy leaf]

you could use some optimization here

(j, rest well)

[lyric kestrel]

I would put the bauxiteN's into their own file in a function for easier viewing, but for some reason I'm getting an error what I refer to this

export OreLootTable(block, ItemStack){
  const bauxite_1 = new ItemStack("raw_iron", 1)
 return{
   bauxite_1
 }
}

[lyric kestrel]

haha

[shy leaf]

the function doesnt have the name

ill just do it hold on

[lyric kestrel]

I could shorten this part into it's own constant as it's being called 3 seperate times item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level5") || item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level6") || item?.typeId.includes("netherite_pickaxe");

[lyric kestrel]

I forgot to put it in for Discord

There, it's in now

I'll look into how I can get it to work in the later morning

[lyric kestrel]

I'm happy with what I did today, even if it took me 5 hours or so just for this

I haven't used JS in 5 months

[shy leaf]

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

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((e) => {
    const { block, player } = e;
    const item = e.itemStack;
    const weight = Math.random();
    
    function rawIron(amount) {
        const item = new ItemStack("raw_iron", amount);
        return item
    }
    const rawTitanium = new ItemStack("industry:raw_titanium", 1);

    const pickaxe_level3 = item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level3") || ["iron_pickaxe", "diamond_pickaxe", "netherite_pickaxe"].some(type => item?.typeId.includes(type));
    const pickaxe_level4 = item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level4") || ["diamond_pickaxe", "netherite_pickaxe"].some(type => item?.typeId.includes(type));
    const pickaxe_level5 = item?.hasTag("pickaxe_level5") || item?.typeId.includes("netherite_pickaxe");

    if (block.typeId.includes("bauxite_ore") && pickaxe_level3) {
        let itemToDrop = null;
        if (weight < 0.38) {
            itemToDrop = rawIron(1);
        } else if (weight < 0.58) {
            itemToDrop = rawIron(2);
        } else if (weight < 0.63) {
            itemToDrop = rawTitanium;
        }
        if (itemToDrop) {
            system.run(() => {
                block.dimension.spawnItem(itemToDrop, block.center());
            });
        }
    }
});```

note that `.some` for array is equivalent to `||`

its kinda missing pickaxe level checks though

[wary edge]

This is where i wish we had better loot table support

[shy leaf]

ikr

[unkempt siren]

i know this sounds like a weird question but is there a way to get the mouse position of a player when on ui via script api? doesn't have to be a supported function or anything but is there a way to calculate it somehow?

[oblique heath]

is the maxDistance option in EntityQueryOption for x and z directions or for xyz?

[distant tulip]

no

[distant tulip]

xyz

a circle

[shy leaf]

theres cursor component for inventory

in preview? iirc

but its also very limited

[distant tulip]

not what he is asking for
that one related only to the item

if there is something it is probably in the editor api

[celest fable]

why it set me back to my previous pos?

[honest spear]

do you have other packs enabled? or did you use teleport methods?

[celest fable]

nahh i don't

its just main.js on the scripts folder

[sudden nest]

you can use this instead, i use it all the time for weighted random stuffs, it's easy to use:

/**
 * Class representing an entry with an object and its accumulated weight.
 * @template T - The type of the object being stored.
 */
class Entry {
    /**
     * Creates an entry.
     * @param {T} object - The object associated with the weight.
     * @param {number} accumulatedWeight - The accumulated weight value of this entry.
     */
    constructor(object, accumulatedWeight) {
        this.object = object;
        this.accumulatedWeight = accumulatedWeight;
    }
}

/**
 * A class for performing weighted random selection.
 * This class allows adding objects with associated weights, 
 * and then randomly selects one of the objects with probability proportional to its weight.
 * 
 * @template T - The type of the object being stored in each entry.
 */
class WeightedRandom {
    constructor() {
        this.entries = [];
        this.accumulatedWeight = 0;
    }

    /**
     * Adds a new entry with a specific weight to the collection.
     * The object can be of any type, and the weight determines how likely it is to be selected.
     * 
     * @param {T} value - The object to be added.
     * @param {number} weight - The weight associated with this object.
     * @returns {WeightedRandom<T>} The current instance of the class, for method chaining.
     */
    addEntry(value, weight) {
        this.accumulatedWeight += weight;
        this.entries.push(new Entry(value, this.accumulatedWeight));
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * Removes an entry from the collection by its value.
     * Adjusts the accumulated weights of the remaining entries accordingly.
     * 
     * @param {T} value - The object to be removed.
     * @returns {boolean} A boolean indicating whether the object was successfully removed.
     */
    removeEntry(value) {
        const index = this.entries.findIndex(entry => entry.object === value);
        if (index === -1) return false;
    
        const weightToRemove = index === 0
          ? this.entries[index].accumulatedWeight
          : this.entries[index].accumulatedWeight - this.entries[index - 1].accumulatedWeight;
    
        this.entries.splice(index, 1);
        this.accumulatedWeight -= weightToRemove;
    
        // Update the accumulated weights of the remaining entries
        for (let i = index; i < this.entries.length; i++) {
            this.entries[i].accumulatedWeight -= weightToRemove;
        }
    
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Adds multiple entries from an object where the keys are the values and 
     * the values are the corresponding weights.
     * 
     * @param {Object<string, number>} entriesObject - An object where keys are the entries and values are the weights.
     * @returns {WeightedRandom<T>} The current instance of the class, for method chaining.
     */
    addEntriesFromObject(entriesObject) {
        for (let key in entriesObject) {
            this.addEntry(key, entriesObject[key]);
        }
        return this;
    }

    /**
     * Selects a random entry based on its weight.
     * The probability of each entry being selected is proportional to its weight.
     * 
     * @returns {T|null} The selected entry or null if no entries exist.
     */
    getRandom() {
        const r = Math.random() * this.accumulatedWeight;

        for (const entry of this.entries) {
            if (entry.accumulatedWeight >= r) {
                return entry.object;
            }
        }
        return null; // should only happen when there are no entries
    }
}

Example:

const weightedRandom = new WeightedRandom();

weightedRandom.addEntry('apple', 5)
              .addEntry('banana', 3)
              .addEntry('cherry', 2);

console.log(weightedRandom.getRandom()); // Randomly logs 'apple', 'banana', or 'cherry' based on weight

weightedRandom.removeEntry('banana');

console.log(weightedRandom.getRandom()); // Randomly logs 'apple' or 'cherry' based on weight

weightedRandom.addEntriesFromObject({
    'date': 4,
    'elderberry': 1
});

console.log(weightedRandom.getRandom()); // Randomly logs 'apple', 'cherry', 'date', or 'elderberry' based on weight

it can be any object, like:

const weightedRandom = new WeightedRandom();

weightedRandom.addEntry(new ItemStack("raw_iron", 1), 38)
              .addEntry(new ItemStack("raw_iron", 2), 58)
              .addEntry(new ItemStack("industry:raw_titanium", 1), 63);

[untold magnet]

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({ damagingEntity }) => {
  if (damagingEntity.typeId === 'my:entity') damagingEntity.triggerEvent('exe:small')
})```this isn't working, i mean it cannot detect me when i hit the entity

the script should detect me when i hit the entity, also the entity will not take any damage

[honest spear]

maybe its problem with wifi or something

[untold magnet]

is there anything wrong in that script?

the entity is not taking any kind of damage,

[celest fable]

nahh man, local have a problem with wifi?

[honest spear]

Well it works for me me tho 😅

[celest fable]

mmm...

[glacial widget]

for some reason this works without listing the coords in the if statment

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ev) =>{
    const {block, player, blockFace, itemStack:item} = ev
    switch(block.typeId){
        case "minecraft:standing_banner":
            if(block.x === -11 && block.y === 71 && block.y === 2){
            ev.cancel = true

            system.run(() => {
               console.warn("player is picking up the flag")
            });
        }
    }
});

[inland merlin]

Checking y twice?

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ev) => {
    const {block, player, blockFace, itemStack: item} = ev
    switch (block.typeId) {
        case "minecraft:standing_banner":
            if (block.x === -11 && block.y === 71 && block.z === 2) { // Corrected 'y' to 'z' for the third coordinate
                ev.cancel = true

                system.run(() => {

i need a dynamic property help

if dynamic property is complicated, i could use tags

but

how can i make a system that will put a different tag for each entity?
first entity will get E0 tag
second entity will get E1 tag
if the first entity is dead the tag will be unused so when u spawn a third entity it will get the E0 tag

is it too complicated to do?

[cold grove]

[idle dagger]

.

100k message

[fiery solar]

I wouldn't use tags for this. You can just store the entity ID in a world dynamic property that corresponds to the block location.

You don't even have to store anything on the entity

[lyric kestrel]

There's over 300k

[idle dagger]

Was 99998 before my last 2 msg

[lyric kestrel]

Ye, it does that a lot

[cerulean cliff]

u're still alive

[naive tinsel]

why when i place a ticking area a thousand blocks away from me and then load a structure in said ticking area, it says that it cannot place because its in unloaded chunks?

[cerulean cliff]

haven't seen you in Amthyst for months qwq

[fiery solar]

You have to wait for the chunks to actually load

[lyric kestrel]

That's because it's not being worked on anymore

[cerulean cliff]

yep it dead

[lyric kestrel]

And I'm not great at C++, and I needed the 20gb+ it all used up to make a mod

[naive tinsel]

i wait like 20 ticks, is that not enough?

or does my player have to load them,

[fiery solar]

It depends on the system. The best thing you can do is keep trying to do a dimension.getBlock on a block in each chunk of your ticking area and wait until they all return a block

[inland merlin]

I would do loop, then have max check time

[cerulean cliff]

yep it was bad... welll we all moved on now... most of us are now on the mp lol

[lyric kestrel]

damn

[naive tinsel]

hm okay. ill have a go at that then. Thank you

yep :p

nice

Currently for my add-on, I'm doing the ores and such

Trying to figure out what ores I want to have as base

I have conveyers already done from a previous add-on I did, but I need to re-do the looks. They look horrible

[cerulean cliff]

it sounds really interesting, wish ya good luck ^^

[lyric kestrel]

Thank you

Trying to use JS for most of it

Since that's the best and fastest and most flexible

instead of JSON

[inland merlin]

Def dynamic

[lyric kestrel]

ye

[cerulean cliff]

tin and aluminium are candidates Id love to see :p

[lyric kestrel]

Already have aluminium planned

- 38% chance of Aluminium
- 37% chance of 1 Iron
- 20% chance of 2 Iron
- 5% chance for Titanium```

Tin is definitely going to be there too

I don't need to do any scripting for that one though

[cerulean cliff]

what about cobolt?

[lyric kestrel]

Although, when I do the alloy part of the add-on, I'll definitely need to use scripting with tin

perhaps

You want to work together on this?

[cerulean cliff]

uiii thats gonan be interested

[lyric kestrel]

@shy leaf I changed the script a little bit and made the "lootTable" a bit more dynamic instead of just being for iron, and got rid of the rawTitanium const

[untold magnet]

hmm

[amber granite]

U are my sunshine

My only sunshine

[amber granite]

What the problem doc ?

[untold magnet]

const inv = entity.getComponent('inventory')
const slot = inv.getSlot
const item = inv.getItem```how can i make it detect if the slot 0 has an item or not

if (slot(0) != null)?

[amber granite]

☠️

If u make it without the object u will make it standalone function

And that may make the function do unpredictable behaviour

standalone function = without this context

[untold magnet]

so how can i make the script detect if that slot is not empty?

[lyric kestrel]

Entites have inventories

[untold magnet]

its actually a furnace entity, putting items inside it will be detected using scripts

that is possible

so,

how can i detect if the slot is empty or not?

[untold magnet]

if (item(0)??) { ,,, }?

[distant tulip]

just equippable

[untold magnet]

u can detect items inside the entity inventory, right?

[distant tulip]

yeah

get the item and check if it is defined

[untold magnet]

@distant tulip ,

[distant tulip]

const item = invComponent.container.getItem(0)
if(item){
//...
}

[untold magnet]

it should detect it when that slot doesn't have an item

oh, yah right

my brain is on holiday rn

[tardy wraith]

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

const afkPlayers = new Map();
world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(data => {
    const player = eventData.sender;
    const playerName = player.name;
    const message = eventData.message;

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [AFK System - 1.0.8] - [index.js] ran with error: [TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined    at <anonymous> (index.js:4)
]

[distant tulip]

chatSend is beta

[tardy wraith]

again

[distant tulip]

wdym

always has been

[tardy wraith]

I had the same problem

[amber granite]

Add (0)
To inv.getSlot

[distant tulip]

use beta api

[untold magnet]

so

const inv = entity.getComponent('inventory')
const slot = inv.getSlot ← useless?
const item = inv.getItem
if (!item(0)) { ,,, }```

[tardy wraith]

1.14.0-beta right?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[tardy wraith]

alr, I'm stupid

[distant tulip]

getSlot can also work

[tardy wraith]

I uploaded the wrong manifest

[amber granite]

Wait

U need to add (0) to the variable

Call the function in the variable itself

To avoid some error realted to the binding of this

[untold magnet]

the entity have 3 slots

if (!item(1)) { ,,, }
if (!item(2)) { ,,, }```

i dont want to const each slot

[amber granite]

Then bind it to inv

Yeah

[untold magnet]

each slot will work differently than the other

[amber granite]

Show us the code

Of each slot

[untold magnet]

i mean, there are some dynamic properties that will happen for each slot

[amber granite]

U can fix that too with for loop

Then alright

☠️

[untold magnet]

i dont want to put the same dynamic property for all slots, if the first one got an item but everything else didnt, the first item will give the entity a dynamic property of 1,
after putting the second item it will not get any dynamic properties, i cant explain it right tho

[amber granite]

Bro i m talking with t17x

[untold magnet]

this will make the dynamic property works with all 3 slots at the same time

[amber granite]

Blud thought that i don't know how to write a loop

[distant tulip]

that actually true...

[amber granite]

XD

[untold magnet]

i want each one has it own section so i can put different dynamic properties for each one

[amber granite]

Wait what

[distant tulip]

the variable is referring to the function

[amber granite]

Ah what ,__, ?

U mean the standalone function

[untold magnet]

hmmhmmmhmmmm

[amber granite]

It was worth it learn js ☠️ i m not useless after all

[untold magnet]

how can i detect a scriptevent inside of an interval?

[distant tulip]

why

[amber granite]

Yeah why

The event will trigger once and do its functions once

Even if it was in an interval

[untold magnet]

after the block gets a state of 8, it will set a dynamic property for the entity for once
similar to sending a scriptevent when the block gets the state 8

idk

[amber granite]

That make it useless and u won't get any additional effect by doing that

[distant tulip]

interval just make it sub to the event multiple time
you don't want that

[untold magnet]

as what i said, my brain is on a holiday today

[amber granite]

Ah what about putting the code of the scriptevent inside ur function or idk

I don't get it , can u explain it correctly?

[untold magnet]

hmmm,

if (!item(0)) entity.setDynamicProperty('s0', false)
if (item(0).typeId === 'minecraft:stick') entity.setDynamicProperty('s0', true)```should set and reset the dynamic property if that slot has an item on it or not?

[amber granite]

Sorry what

[untold magnet]

if that slot doesn't have any item, it will reset the property
default is false, but when the slot gets an item it will turn on the property

[amber granite]

An item or a specific type of items ?

[untold magnet]

that slot doesn't have any items on it when the entity spawns, so it will be automatically set as false

[untold magnet]

some specific items

[amber granite]

Yeah that s correct

[untold magnet]

even knowing, if the item has been replaced will reset the property

[amber granite]

Replaced ?

Replaced item will need extra code

[untold magnet]

like u put a raw copper inside of a furnace, then u replace it with raw iron before it fully smelted will reset the smelling progress u know what i mean

[amber granite]

Yeah yeah

That will need extra code as i said

[untold magnet]

so what kind of codes are that?

[amber granite]

U need to save the last item type id

In a variable

And then check the type id if it was the same

If it wasn't

U will reset the dynamic proprety

That s all

If it was the same TypeID u won't need to replace the variable

Lemme give u an example

// Define the variable in global Scope or idk
if (!item(0) ) { entity.setDynamicProperty('s0', false) }
if (item(0).typeId === 'minecraft:stick' && item(0).typeId == PreviousItemTypeId) { entity.setDynamicProperty('s0', true);
PreviousItemTypeId = item(0).typeId;
 }```

@untold magnet

[untold magnet]

my brain isn't braining

[amber granite]

I should told u that the variable must looks like :

let PreviousItemTypeId = true;

Wait

[untold magnet]

that will not store the last item typeid

[amber granite]

The last true item right ?

[untold magnet]

PIT = item(0).typeId will be the same when u replace the previous item with the new one

[amber granite]

Like if the dynamic proprety will gonna be setted to false

It won't save the last item right ?

[amber granite]

What ?

Nah that s wrong

@untold magnet

U want me to explain how it works?

[untold magnet]

explain

[amber granite]

So let s say

The tested item is same type id as ur previous type id

And the previous id in the beginning will be true

So the the if statement will work

[untold magnet]

literally, my brain isn't braining

[amber granite]

So u know the difference between == and === right ?

== is not strict typed as ===

[untold magnet]

also im carrying about my health, i might have some issues in my chest

[amber granite]

So let s say u used
=== To compare string and boolean

[untold magnet]

like a blocked blood channel

[amber granite]

Go to the doctor

[untold magnet]

after 2 days, if the pain is still happening randomly i will go

[amber granite]

Ok

[untold magnet]

tomorrow and after tomorrow

[amber granite]

._. u must

Go as soon as possible

[untold magnet]

its a small pain, not that huge

[amber granite]

The body health isn't something u want to mess with

So yeah

[untold magnet]

similar to that random chest pain, but way weaker

[amber granite]

May god heal u

[untold magnet]

and its not inside of my chest, just like the outside or near the surface

[amber granite]

Yeah u must go to hospital anyways

Anyways we were in the code right

[untold magnet]

I'll think about the code tomorrow

after recharging my brain with some braincells

[amber granite]

Yeah go to sleep

[untold magnet]

cya

[scarlet sable]

does tag refer to nametag?

when talking about entities

[wary edge]

No it means tags tags. Name tags have their own

[amber granite]

No

Tag is like giving an id to some entity and if they have that id they will have specific behaviour for them

Or u can tag players to slplit them into teams

@scarlet sable

[scarlet sable]

I see

But what does a nametag fall under?

[distant tulip]

entity/player are objects
so
entity/player property

[scarlet sable]

Ye i meant like which property

[distant tulip]

string?

[scarlet sable]

Bruh

[amber granite]

It s proprety to the players object same as player position is a proprety for the player

And so on

It s not falling under any other proprety or derived from another

[distant tulip]

that what i said 🤷‍♂️

[amber granite]

Yeah

[scarlet sable]

Oh

So it's actually string lol

[amber granite]

Yeah a string that we all agree to use it

[scarlet sable]

Fair

[amber granite]

For making some functions works with players and don't work with others

Or splitting them to teams

Or idk...

[distant tulip]

there is also the name property
this one only present in the player

[scarlet sable]

I'll try using the id property first

[amber granite]

id ?

[distant tulip]

nametag is changeable
name is not
use name to get the player actual name
in case any addon change it

[scarlet sable]

Then move on to getting a specifically named mob

[scarlet sable]

Ye

[amber granite]

The id can be change from world to other

[scarlet sable]

Ok

I'll use name then

Like minato said

[distant tulip]

id is better

[amber granite]

I think i ve seen somone uses id to get the world host

To make isHost function

[scarlet sable]

If you say so

[distant tulip]

only possible if the script run in the first world load

[amber granite]

Ok

[scarlet sable]

Oh there's Entity.nametag

I didn't see it lol

[distant tulip]

...

[scarlet sable]

Ye

I meant in jayleydev's website

I didn't see it there while scrolling

[scarlet sable]

Btw since player is a sub group of entiries

So we can use the entity properties for a player

And the opposite?

[wary edge]

Yes

[wary edge]

No

[scarlet sable]

Ok good

Ty

[distant tulip]

some don't work
for example setVelocity

clearVelocity

[scarlet sable]

Yep it makes sense

All tho some stuff would be cool to use on mobs too

[distant tulip]

almost all of them can

[scarlet sable]

Can you like put items in a specific slot of the mobs inv?

Ao like the script takes the armor from your hand into the zombies helmet slot

[distant tulip]

you can
not the equipable slots

[scarlet sable]

Mhm

[distant tulip]

only with commands

replceitem

[scarlet sable]

Oh ye i forgot about that

Also out of context question but isn't it like 1:30 am where you live?

We need sleep bruh 💀

[amber granite]

☠️ learn js

[distant tulip]

i only sleep for 5 to 6 hour (i wake up without any alarm after that)

[scarlet sable]

I started today

[amber granite]

Then

[scarlet sable]

Oh wow

[scarlet sable]

I'm around 30% in

[amber granite]

Then use ide or code editor

[amber granite]

Lemme test u

[scarlet sable]

I can't focus without 6h min

[amber granite]

Do u know iife ?

[scarlet sable]

Ide?

[scarlet sable]

Iife?

[amber granite]

No iife

[scarlet sable]

Wasn't mentioned so far

iife ik just I cap

[amber granite]

Integrated developments editor

[scarlet sable]

I use vs if that's an answer lol

[amber granite]

Vs or vscode

☠️ there is a huge difference

[scarlet sable]

Visual studio code

Vs

I'm taking W3school course

[amber granite]

No there is visual studio and there is visual studio code

[scarlet sable]

It's quite fun

[amber granite]

Learn from
modern js website

[scarlet sable]

Theres a logo difference?

[amber granite]

It really helped me

[amber granite]

Lol blud said logo difference

[scarlet sable]

Blud is newbie so ye i will ask the weirdest questiona you can think of

[amber granite]

Anyways if u have high-end pc

U should install visual studio

And get used for it
