Script API General

[warm drum]

I have a problem with runCommand using script, like the command execute is stuck in the previous version

[honest spear]

Well in theory you can save these information in string for example reading alll properties of objects and values and storing them

or you can use JSON.stringify

[wintry bane]

What's your behavior pack manifest's min_version?

[warm drum]

JSON.stringify it to store as string then use JSON.parse to convert it back

[warm drum]

Oohs yeah

[honest spear]

but JSON cant serialize all kinds

[wintry bane]

Itemstacks and blocktype objects

[honest spear]

well no

[warm drum]

Oh...

I dont think thats possible

[honest spear]

You xan serialize only known api info

for example shulker contentbwill be lost

BlockType is easy

as its just string id

[wintry bane]

I know it's not possible now and I'm not looking solutions for the current version, I just wanna know if it's possible in the future

[wintry bane]

I meant block objects that store permutations and the like

[honest spear]

?

block container?

idk permutations are very possible

but you can save only components known to API

with container there is problem with the ItemStack it sekf like i said before

[wintry bane]

entity.setDynamicProperty("test:block", entity.dimension.getBlock(entity.location))

[honest spear]

nah not like that tho

it accepts only string

[wintry bane]

I know

[honest spear]

so serialize your data

[wintry bane]

I just wanna know if it'll be possible in the future

[honest spear]

who knows

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i am sure its not in close future

[acoustic basin]

hey guys, i have a small question here: is there a way to translate, for exmaple, item lore i set in my script in .lang? like, for example, i write in my script item.v360:smiting_template.name, and translate in .lang file?

[acoustic basin]

just for exmaple, is it possible?

[slow walrus]

if you know something's never gonna be undefined, just type cast it. there's those warnings for a reason, because they're general functions that can sometimes return undefiend or whatever. anyway, types aren't in javascript so it doesn't actually matter what you do with them

[obsidian coyote]

iirc you can disable that by setting strict to false?

[remote oyster]

I would leave strict set to true. If the type is saying it might be undefined I would review the code and types to be sure it's not user error.

[shy leaf]

you cant translate item lores, sadly

[acoustic basin]

damn, thank u for letting me know

[half socket]

Hey guys I have question, Is it possible to get a player's xuid and device using script?

[slow walrus]

no

unless you're using server-net

but that only works on BDS

and you'll have to make http requests to the XBOX live api

an sum other shi

[half socket]

Oh, thanks for letting me know.

[slow walrus]

here's something you can look at for that https://den.dev/blog/convert-gamertag-to-xuid/

[cold grove]

Device? Uhmm its available in 1.16.0-beta (not sure)

[distant tulip]

when shooting a ray down
can it skip a block?
i am multiplying the view direction with 4 and adding it to the player location and that is the ray start point

wait i am spawning it inside the block aren't i 🤦‍♂️

yeah nvm i solved that.
that explain the weird offset i am having

[nocturne berry]

block.dimension.runCommandAsync(`execute positioned ${block.location.x} ${block.location.y} ${block.location.z} run function mana_generator`);```

How to put more commands without having to put another block.dimension.runCommandAsync?

[knotty plaza]

Run functions inside the functions 🗿

[sharp elbow]

Well, that is what you are already doing, in essence.

[rigid surge]

Why are you even using runcommandasync

Just run it directly with api

[sharp elbow]

Depends on what mana_generator does. There are valid use cases for calling commands if, say, it interacts with a legacy command system

[rigid surge]

I mean ig but i would try and not use runcommand since its not that efficient

[sharp elbow]

All API calls aren't too efficient, that's the nature of them

But if there are native methods for what a command could do, then by all means yes. It's simply clearer too

[rigid surge]

Yeah thats a valid point can’t argue with that

[nocturne berry]

It detects blocks and executes other commands

[nocturne berry]

I don't know of any other ways to do this.

[honest spear]

but if you change the GamerTag xuid is still same tho

[scarlet hemlock]

Guys, is there a way to check when the moment before the player quits the world to execute a script just right before leaving?

[copper lake]

What are you wanting the script to do?

[scarlet hemlock]

To remove a block and trigger an entity event

[copper lake]

Might be worth opening a post for this question, I know there are world before events for things but I think when you do before events, they are read only.

[scarlet hemlock]

////////////////////////////////////////////////////
world.afterEvents.projectileHitBlock.subscribe((eventData) => {
  const projectile = eventData.projectile;
  const hitBlockLocation = eventData.location;
  const eventDimension = eventData.dimension;
  const source = eventData.source;

  if (projectile.typeId === "let:light_projectile") {
    const block = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);

    // Check if the block exists and if the source entity has the "light" tag
    if (block && source?.hasTag("light")) {
      const fillCommand = `fill ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} light_block ["block_light_level"=12] replace air`;
      const summonCommand = `summon let:light_marker ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z}`;
      source.runCommand(fillCommand);
      source.runCommand(summonCommand);

      // Set a timer to remove the light block after 100 ticks (5 seconds)
      system.runTimeout(() => {
        const currentBlock = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
        if (currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
          currentBlock.setType(BlockTypes.get("minecraft:air"));
        }

        // Despawn the 'let:light_marker' entity at the same location
        eventDimension.runCommandAsync(
          `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
        );

      }, 100); // 100 ticks = 5 seconds
    }
  }
});```

I have this script that sets a light block and summons an entity in a specific coordinate. After 5 seconds, it'll remove the block and despawns the entity. But if the player leaves the world before that, they'll never dissapear

[prisma shard]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(({ player }) => {
 world.sendMessage(player.name + "has left the world"
    );
});```

[scarlet hemlock]

Will this work if there's only 1 player in the world?

[prisma shard]

yes

[scarlet hemlock]

I have this but I know I'm missing something...

  const playerDimension = player.dimension;

  // First, remove the light block if it's still present at the hitBlockLocation
  const currentBlock = playerDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
  if (currentBlock && currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
    currentBlock.setType(BlockTypes.get("minecraft:air"));
  }

  // Then, despawn the 'let:light_marker' entity using the event command
  playerDimension.runCommandAsync(
    `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
  );
});```

[prisma shard]

the "player has left the world" message will send before when player leaves the world

[prisma shard]

You could kill the entity instead of despawning, isnt it

[scarlet hemlock]

It's not working anyways 😭

[prisma shard]

Instead of:

 currentBlock.setType(BlockTypes.get("minecraft:air"));
  }

You could do:

 currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
  }

@scarlet hemlock

[scarlet hemlock]

OK, I've changed that. But when I leave the world and open it again, the block and entity are there 😔

[prisma shard]

Does it show anything in console?

[unreal cove]

Instead of doing it on the script side, just add a timer in the entity itself which will despawn it, that timer will restart if entity is reloaded before despawning

[scarlet hemlock]

Let me check that...

[scarlet hemlock]

Clever. And what about the block?

[prisma shard]

Check if the script even runs first

using console.warn()

[unreal cove]

Is it a custom block?

[scarlet hemlock]

No, it's a light block

[prisma shard]

He's trying to remove the light block by setting ot to air

[unreal cove]

Assuming that entity is also in the same location as that block, you could have that entity execute removal of that block too

[scarlet hemlock]

Never used that. I'm sorry, I'm still learning 😦

[prisma shard]

??????

just put
console.warn('the script is working')

In top of your script

If this shows in the console, the script is running

[scarlet hemlock]

Like this?

  console.warn('the script is working')
  const playerDimension = player.dimension;

  // First, remove the light block if it's still present at the hitBlockLocation
  const currentBlock = playerDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
  if (currentBlock && currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
    currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
  }

  // Then, despawn the 'let:light_marker' entity using the event command
  playerDimension.runCommandAsync(
    `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
  );
});```

[prisma shard]

yes

Oh wait no

[scarlet hemlock]

Is not showing, so I assume is not working

[prisma shard]

On top of the whole script

[scarlet hemlock]

Oh sry

Then yes, the script is working because I have other functions that are working

[prisma shard]

oh

k

[scarlet hemlock]

Maybe I'll just go with @unreal cove 's way, I think that should work

[prisma shard]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(({ player }) => {
 system.run(() => {
 
  const currentBlock = player.dimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
  if (currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
    currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
  };

player.dimension.runCommandAsync(
    `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
  );
})
});```

Can you try this @scarlet hemlock

[scarlet hemlock]

Sure

[prisma shard]

OHHHHH

[scarlet hemlock]

Also, do you know how can I summon the entity in the exact center of the light block?

[prisma shard]

wait a seccccccc

[scarlet hemlock]

I'll wait

[prisma shard]

where is your hitBlockLocation variable????

@scarlet hemlock

[copper lake]

maybe add a .5 to the location

[scarlet hemlock]

@prisma shard

  const projectile = eventData.projectile;
  const hitBlockLocation = eventData.location;
  const eventDimension = eventData.dimension;
  const source = eventData.source;

  if (projectile.typeId === "let:light_projectile") {
    const block = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);

    // Check if the block exists and if the source entity has the "light" tag
    if (block && source?.hasTag("light")) {
      const fillCommand = `fill ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} light_block ["block_light_level"=12] replace air`;
      const summonCommand = `summon let:light_marker ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z}`;
      source.runCommand(fillCommand);
      source.runCommand(summonCommand);

      // Set a timer to remove the light block after 100 ticks (5 seconds)
      system.runTimeout(() => {
        const currentBlock = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
        if (currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
          currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
        }

        // Despawn the 'let:light_marker' entity at the same location
        eventDimension.runCommandAsync(
          `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
        );

      }, 100); // 100 ticks = 5 seconds
    }
  }
});```

[scarlet hemlock]

Tried that, but maybe I didn't do it right:
summon let:light_marker ${hitBlockLocation.x + 0.5} ${hitBlockLocation.y + 0.5} ${hitBlockLocation.z + 0.5}

[scarlet hemlock]

@prisma shard 👆 here's the entire code

[prisma shard]

I do not see playerLeave event in it

[scarlet hemlock]

No sorry, I removed that

[prisma shard]

You dont need?

ok

[scarlet hemlock]

Yes! But since you've told me to wait

I removed it 😛

Let me add it again

[prisma shard]

bruh

i said to wait bcause i realized somthing bruhh

[scarlet hemlock]

Here:

  const projectile = eventData.projectile;
  const hitBlockLocation = eventData.location;
  const eventDimension = eventData.dimension;
  const source = eventData.source;

  if (projectile.typeId === "let:light_projectile") {
    const block = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);

    // Check if the block exists and if the source entity has the "light" tag
    if (block && source?.hasTag("light")) {
      const fillCommand = `fill ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} light_block ["block_light_level"=12] replace air`;
      const summonCommand = `summon let:light_marker ${hitBlockLocation.x + 0.5} ${hitBlockLocation.y + 0.5} ${hitBlockLocation.z + 0.5}`;
      source.runCommand(fillCommand);
      source.runCommand(summonCommand);

      // Set a timer to remove the light block after 100 ticks (5 seconds)
      system.runTimeout(() => {
        const currentBlock = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
        if (currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
          currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
        }

        // Despawn the 'let:light_marker' entity at the same location
        eventDimension.runCommandAsync(
          `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
        );

      }, 100); // 100 ticks = 5 seconds
    }
  }
});

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(({ player }) => {
  system.run(() => {

    const currentBlock = player.dimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
    if (currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
      currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
    };

    player.dimension.runCommandAsync(
      `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
    );
  })
});```

[prisma shard]

you wanna remove the block and despawn entity 2 times?

and that won't work because the hitBlockLocation variable is declared outside of the event

[scarlet hemlock]

Right

[scarlet hemlock]

There's a timer that removes both elements in 5 seconds, but I also want to remove them if the player leaves before those 5 seconds

[prisma shard]

you set the variable hitBlockLocation in projectileHitBlock event, so you can't use the variable in the another event

[scarlet hemlock]

I see that now

[copper lake]

probably need an if

else

[prisma shard]

Hmmm i am thinking how could you use the same variable in both events

is that even possible idk

[scarlet hemlock]

I can define a new one for this event

  const blockLocation = player.location;
  system.run(() => {

    const currentBlock = player.dimension.getBlock(blockLocation);
    if (currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
      currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
    };

    player.dimension.runCommandAsync(
      `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${blockLocation.x},y=${blockLocation.y},z=${blockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
    );
  })
});```

Hmmm but it won't work

Because I need to know where the block was placed

(it's starting to make sense for me 😅 )

[prisma shard]

bruh

[scarlet hemlock]

Sorry! I'm actually learning by doing! 😜

[lyric kestrel]

there should be .center?

[scarlet hemlock]

Like this? ${hitBlockLocation.center}

No... that can't be right, can it?

[lyric kestrel]

/give @s light_block_0 Do that command, and while you're holding the light block item, you can see where it's placed

[scarlet hemlock]

Yes, that's how I figured that the entity wasn't being summoned at the center 😉

[lyric kestrel]

ah

[lyric kestrel]

where is hitBlockLocation?

[scarlet hemlock]

  const projectile = eventData.projectile;
  const hitBlockLocation = eventData.location;
  const eventDimension = eventData.dimension;
  const source = eventData.source;

  if (projectile.typeId === "let:light_projectile") {
    const block = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);

    // Check if the block exists and if the source entity has the "light" tag
    if (block && source?.hasTag("light")) {
      const fillCommand = `fill ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} ${hitBlockLocation.x} ${hitBlockLocation.y} ${hitBlockLocation.z} light_block ["block_light_level"=12] replace air`;
      const summonCommand = `summon let:light_marker ${hitBlockLocation.x + 0.5} ${hitBlockLocation.y + 0.5} ${hitBlockLocation.z + 0.5}`;
      source.runCommand(fillCommand);
      source.runCommand(summonCommand);

      // Set a timer to remove the light block after 100 ticks (5 seconds)
      system.runTimeout(() => {
        const currentBlock = eventDimension.getBlock(hitBlockLocation);
        if (currentBlock.typeId === "minecraft:light_block") {
          currentBlock.setType("minecraft:air");
        }

        // Despawn the 'let:light_marker' entity at the same location
        eventDimension.runCommandAsync(
          `event entity @e[family=light_marker,x=${hitBlockLocation.x},y=${hitBlockLocation.y},z=${hitBlockLocation.z},r=1] let:despawn`
        );

      }, 100); // 100 ticks = 5 seconds
    }
  }
});```

[lyric kestrel]

ah

[scarlet hemlock]

Cute dog btw

[lyric kestrel]

thank you

She's a dorgi

Daschund Corgi mix

[scarlet hemlock]

Now I need to see a full body picture 🤣

[lyric kestrel]

at the top, replace hitBlockLocation with this

const hitBlockLocation = {
        x: block.center(),
        y: block.center(),
        z: block.center()
    }```

then try it

[scarlet hemlock]

So adorable! She's a senior, right?

[lyric kestrel]

6 years old

she can live to ~12 years

but yes

[scarlet hemlock]

My dog has 11 y/o. I adopted him when he was 6 months old. Time flies

[lyric kestrel]

wow

[scarlet hemlock]

It says "block is not defined"

[lyric kestrel]

oh, ye, you don't have block defined

[scarlet hemlock]

And how should I define it?

[lyric kestrel]

const block = eventData.getBlockHit().block

[scarlet hemlock]

Now it says Object did not have a native handle. interface property [x] expected type: number (failed parsing interface to Function argument [0])

[lyric kestrel]

1sec

sorry @scarlet hemlock I can't help. I have to go downstairs

My new dog, Freddie, can't be alone by himself

[scarlet hemlock]

Np thanks!

[untold magnet]

guys

const item10 = inv.setItem(10, new ItemStack('minecraft:stick').lockMode == "inventory") will set a locked item?

hmm,

for (let i = 0; i > 8; i++) const slot0To9 = inv.getItem(i) will check all 9 slots?

i want to check if those 9 slots have a specific amount of an item, like if 3 of those 9 slots have dirt a function will execute

[distant gulch]

What

[untold magnet]

if (3 slots { 0 to 8 } has an item) { ,,, }

[oblique heath]

no

[untold magnet]

look, theres 9 slots in my entity, if 3 slots of those 9 has an item, it will run a function

[untold magnet]

ik

[distant gulch]

This is easy

Hold on lemme make it rq see if it works

[untold magnet]

it will not work depends on the item amount,

i mean

if one slot has 3 items in total, it will not work, it should work only when 3 slots have the same item.

[distant gulch]

So you mean
[ dirt ] [ dirt ] [ dirt ] run function?

[untold magnet]

kinda,

and shapeless

[distant gulch]

And [ dirt x3 ] no function

[untold magnet]

yes

[distant gulch]

So we'll see what we can use

Initially I would use LocalStorage or var

To count the numbers in each slot and make them readable to the whole client

Then assign a number in a list using the item name with the amount

[untold magnet]

lemme show u an example:

O O O
P P O
O P O
= function

O P O
P O O
O O P
= function

P³ O O
O O O
O O O
= no function```

[distant gulch]

And if the list contains 3 pieces of dirt then check each value

Yea seems simple enough

If youd like to wait like 30 mins

I mean I spend hours coding

[oblique heath]

this is for your grinder block?

[untold magnet]

i spend more time on making UU

[untold magnet]

no

for a new block

for the forge

[oblique heath]

so the forge has 3 slots?

[lyric kestrel]

for (let i = 0; i <= 10; i++)

The for loop that you did, only works if i is more than 8

[untold magnet]

those 9 slots in the middle counted from 0 to 8

[distant gulch]

I spent days on my project that converts Minecraft animations into the /camera command or script API system.runTimeOut

[oblique heath]

what is the block being used?

is it using the custom crafting table component or something?

[untold magnet]

smelt grinded items

put the grinded inside those 9 slots

with a empty pocket

• some coals

to start melting them

[oblique heath]

does the block use this?

[untold magnet]

after a while it will turned into a liquid

[untold magnet]

no

[oblique heath]

ok so how is it storing the items?

[untold magnet]

simply inventory, + custom UI

[wanton ocean]

UI schmui

[oblique heath]

yeah but what is the simple inventory?

is it an entity?

[untold magnet]

entity

[oblique heath]

ok

do you know the indexes of all the visible slots?

[untold magnet]

first slot always be 0
0, 1, 2, 3 ~ 256

maximum inventory size is 256

[lyric kestrel]

Yes, but are they in the correct order? Because the one on the far left could be 0, so have you checked their actual slots?

[oblique heath]

yeah thats what im asking

[untold magnet]

already checked

[oblique heath]

he said the ones in the middle are 0 to 8

[lyric kestrel]

Ah ok. Good

[oblique heath]

but what are these?

[untold magnet]

i changed the slots locations of the last 5 slots

[lyric kestrel]

Oki

[untold magnet]

those 9 slots in the middle is from 0 to 8

the rest is from 9 to 14

the script will work only on those slots from 0 to 8

[untold magnet]

the copper rod & blaze powder is just a place holders

so,

for (let i = 0; i <= 8; i++) { const slots = inv.getItem(i) should get the item from all 9 slots?

[distant gulch]

Show half script

So I can help with better interpretation

[untold magnet]

system.runInterval(() => {
  const dimension = ['overworld', 'nether', 'the_end'].map(dim => {
    for (const entity of world.getDimension(dim).getEntities()) {
      const block = entity.dimension.getBlock(entity.location);
      if (entity.typeId === 'my:entity') {
        entity.nameTag = 'NameTag';
        if (block?.typeId !== 'my:block' && entity?.isValid() && block?.isValid()) {
          entity.triggerEvent('exe:dropInv');
          system.runTimeout(() => { if (block?.typeId !== 'my:entity' && entity?.isValid() && block?.isValid()) { entity.triggerEvent('exe:despawn') } }, TicksPerSecond * 0.1);
        }
        const inv = entity.getComponent('inventory').container;
        for (let i = 0; i <= 8; i++) {
          const middleSlots = inv.getItem(i)
        }
      }
    }
  })
})```

thats the whole script actually

[distant gulch]

K I'll try and debug it

See what I can do and Ill check for any errors

What version of script API does it use?

[untold magnet]

1.16.0-beta

the last beta

[distant gulch]

Alr

[untold magnet]

ping me when u finish

I'll be watching some one-piece

[distant gulch]

Oki

[remote oyster]

1.16.0-beta is for preview, just so you know.

[distant gulch]

I was wondering why it wasn't working

I always use the latest non betas

[remote oyster]

The "stable" beta is 1.15.0-beta

Current one.

The stable non beta is 1.14.0

[distant gulch]

Ik

[remote oyster]

Just making sure so there was no confusion.

[distant gulch]

Kkkkk

Btw where'd all the auto completions go

Wasn't there an on hold item one?

[remote oyster]

Auto completion is there, if your environment is set up correctly.

[distant gulch]

And what happened to ChatSend

On bridge

[remote oyster]

chatSend is beta. You will need to use 1.15.0-beta if you wish to use it. It's not stable yet so it does not exist in 1.14.0.

[distant gulch]

But it worked on non beta before

In my SCP mod

[remote oyster]

Not possible. It's never existed for stable.

[distant gulch]

Then how'd it work

[remote oyster]

You must have used beta unknowingly.

[distant gulch]

I never used beta versions

[remote oyster]

Then it didn't work. So the only conclusion on how it could have worked is that you used beta.

[distant gulch]

But I js checked it says 1.11.0

[untold magnet]

just do 1.15.0-beta on bridge and it should work

[remote oyster]

Then it didn't work.

[distant gulch]

I used it for !gms !gms and !gmsp

[remote oyster]

chatSend is beta only.

[distant gulch]

Then also a sphere generator

[remote oyster]

It does not work on stable.

[untold magnet]

getComponent / inventory.getSlot thing isn't showing up on any other versions

u have to use 1.15.0-beta

[distant gulch]

Ok ok

I never used beta because the first time I did I lost my Minecraft mod on my Xbox world and there's no way to modify and the -beta was out of beta and the script didn't function

I mostly code on Xbox

So

[remote oyster]

1.11.0 Stable (BeforeEvents)

1.11.0 Stable (AfterEvents)

chatSend does not exist.

[distant gulch]

Ik

[remote oyster]

But you don't. Lol.

[distant gulch]

Don't have to keep correcting

[remote oyster]

I'm correcting so you have the correct information. It's how you grow and learn.

[distant gulch]

I'm js saying that's what I remember

[untold magnet]

is it requires chatSend thing?

[distant gulch]

I don't learn from others I learn from myself sorry not to be ignorant but I never liked learning for others

[remote oyster]

Then why are you here asking questions?

[distant gulch]

Naur I was js confused bc when I used it b4

[untold magnet]

im learning from others sometimes and from my mistakes all time

[distant gulch]

I'm not im helping him

Ive been teaching myself for over like 5 years

Only way I'm good at the things I do

And still I'm not that good

[untold magnet]

for me I started learning since they removed HCF, not that far

[distant gulch]

First ever mod I made was an scp096 mod from Funtime Lefty or as of now he calls himself Ayden P.

Me and him collabed

Then after the only person who has taught me abt mc addon's was Abdul rahixmm the creator of Ace Entities (practically one of the first ever 3D guns mod) he taught me how to make 3D guns and render them ingame when I was 10

Then I started working for BlockOps and basically became the owner and the boss

[untold magnet]

jeez

[distant gulch]

And I'm still kinda new to JavaScript

[untold magnet]

my first ever project was EpicPaladins bedrock port, i did removed it bec of the original creator decision

[distant gulch]

The first ever thing I made in JavaScript fully by myself after a month of learning took me 2 days to make was the thing I posted

A couple days ago

https://rey-debida.github.io/mcanim-to-cam/

[untold magnet]

my first ever project made in js is this https://mcpedl.com/enhanced-breathing/

don't look at the script

[distant gulch]

This converts Minecraft animations into /camera and Script API

[untold magnet]

it hurts bec i was new on js

[distant gulch]

Look I send video of the code for the website it's very simple stuff

[oblique heath]

is javascript your first coding
language?

[untold magnet]

yah,

[oblique heath]

i feel like javascript isn't the most friendly language for beginners

[untold magnet]

nah its too simple for me

i like it actually

[oblique heath]

the whole not having types explicitly defined or what ever can be an eyesore when working on large projects imo

[untold magnet]

unlike json-UI, its really hard and hurts

[oblique heath]

json ui is like a black box to me

but thats due to lack of documentation honestly

its all just json at the end of the day

[distant gulch]

I only do the simplest things on JavaScript

[untold magnet]

neat!

[deep quiver]

Very cool thats mostly html and css tho and also very big jumpscare at the end

[oblique heath]

is there a way to load a chunk without using commands?

[sharp elbow]

Could try an entity with the "minecraft:tick_world" component

[oblique heath]

is there no scripting alternative?

[copper lake]

They pretty much all involve using commands to do things like add a ticking area. Then again, I didn't really get that to work with script so I wound up just teleporting myself with script to get the chunk loaded so that I could do other things then move on to the next step. Of course that was me using a script to setup a world with no other players in it.

[neat hazel]

How to get the cooldown component of an item in 'itemUse'??
Only call the function if the cooldown is = 0

[bright torrent]

I’m new to bedrock add on development. Is it possible to set the texture of a black or entity dynamically at runtime. I mean actually generating a new texture, pixel by pixel, not referencing an image in the texture folder.

[valid ice]

It is not possible, no.

[bright torrent]

Is there a way to create a custom map item where you set the pixels?

[bright torrent]

Are you sure? Even with shaders? It was done often back in the Bukkit days.

[valid ice]

Plugins? Sure. Addons? Nope

Best you might be able to do is a bunch of particles mimicking a texture

[meager zenith]

how can i an entity's location from player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection

[rigid surge]

player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection().forEach(entity => {const location = entity.location})

[meager zenith]

tysm

[rigid surge]

Sorry for bad spacing i wrote that out on my phone

[meager zenith]

np, thank you

[meager zenith]

does it return an array?

i only need the first entity

[rigid surge]

No i did individual location

U could do an array tho

[meager zenith]

^

[rigid surge]

then just break the script after the first entity

[meager zenith]

alr thanks

[rigid surge]

const entities = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection();
const firstEntity = entities.length > 0 ? entities[0] : null;

if (firstEntity) {
const location = firstEntity.location;
// Do something with the location
}
@meager zenith

[meager zenith]

thanks

[rigid surge]

Np

[deep plank]

You can also just do player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection()[0];

const entity = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection()[0];

if(entity) {
    const loc = entity.location;
    // do something
}

[halcyon phoenix]

What would be better on this situation? I'm using BlockCustomComponent and im creating growing plants should I do

onTick: (event) => {
            const { block, dimension } = event;
            const blockState = block.permutation.getState('si:growth');
            const tickRage = 3200 * (1 +  Math.random())
            
            let timer = 0
            timer = timer + 1

            if (timer = tickRage && !block.permutation.withState("si:growth", 4)) {
                block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState("si:growth", blockState + 1))
            }
            else null;

        },

or should I

onPlace: (event) => {
            const { block, dimension, previousBlock } = event;
            let blockLoc = block.center()

            let blockState = block.permutation.getState('si:growth');
            if ( blockState == 0 ) {
                const timeoutId = system.runTimeout(() => {
                    
                    block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState('si:growth', blockState + 1))
                    dimension.spawnParticle("minecraft:crop_growth_emitter", blockLoc)
                },4200 * (1 +  Math.random()))
                vineTimeouts[getBlockLocationAsKeyString(block)] = timeoutId;
            }
        },
 onPlayerDestroy: (event) => {
            const { block } = event;

            const blockLocationKey = getBlockLocationAsKeyString(block);
            if (blockLocationKey in vineTimeouts){
                system.clearRun(vineTimeouts[blockLocationKey]);
                delete vineTimeouts[blockLocationKey];
            }
        }

which one is better?

also weird interaction with onPlace. When block state is changed onPlace is also triggered.

should I stick with the first one?

[untold magnet]

const hmmm = me.afterEvents.wondering

how can i make slots accept only a specific item?

like slot 0 can have only sticks, when the slot gets a different item it will be cancelled

[runic crypt]

is this how i import multiple scripts ??

import './gwim/gwim-form';
import './gwim/gwim-rank';

[empty quail]

Yup

Afaik

[untold magnet]

#1289226687204163799

[untold magnet]

anyone?

[glacial widget]

btw can you use /ability ?

[untold magnet]

gosh the forge system is so complicated

[lyric kestrel]

lol

[untold magnet]

hmmm

itemStack?.nameTag = 'Hi' will change the item name right?

[unreal cove]

name tag, yes

[untold magnet]

my item doesn't have display name inside the json file,
and no name inside RP text file

its not renaming the item for some reason, i think i had to make it has a display name first right?

[unreal cove]

name tag will still work

make sure ur re-setting ur itemstack in slot after naming it

[untold magnet]

oh wait a moment,

[untold magnet]

it has logs, and not working at all

i fixed it by adding an invisible display name for it

[near siren]

Is there any way to change a mob’s target via scripting?

[distant tulip]

custom mob?

not directly but if the mob prioritize who hit hem
you can by applying damage

[static nebula]

Can someone help me? Is there any way I can make an entity release particles? Like if I shoot a bow and the arrow comes out with particles?

[distant tulip]

animation & animation control
script api is the last option when it come to client side stuff

[static nebula]

Oh, ok thanks

[shrewd wedge]

How am give enchanted item

[bright torrent]

Does the script API support Particles at all? Couldn’t see anything? Surely it would make sense to spawn a JSON-defined emitter given something happened

[simple zodiac]

dimension/entity .spawnParticle

[slim spear]

wish this error didn't exist

it was working fine earlier 😭

[shrewd wedge]

How to give enchanted armour

[unique dragon]

first set the enchantment to the itemstack

then set the item on the slot

@shrewd wedge

[shrewd wedge]

Ok

if (msg == "-item test") {
const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
let itemHeld = inventory.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
player.sendMessage(`${JSON.stringify(itemHeld)}`);

const equippable = player.getComponent("equippable");
const test1 = equippable.getEquipment("feet");
if (test1 !== undefined) {
player.sendMessage(`${test1.typeId}`);
}
}
})

Do you know why this not working?

[slim spear]

anyone know why this happens? It's getting AbilitiesRangerDruid from another file

[unique dragon]

what is not working exactly

that looks fine

[shrewd wedge]

I put boot on and is not saying I have boot in chat

What am I doing wrongly?

[unique dragon]

ah

Feet the first chat

char*

it's capital letter

[shrewd wedge]

Ohh

[unique dragon]

you can also use enum

[shrewd wedge]

What that?

[unique dragon]

import EquipmentSlot to @minecraft/server

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/enums/_minecraft_server_1_14_0.EquipmentSlot.html#Feet

this will show u

[shrewd wedge]

Okay

[unique dragon]

it's optional

you can just do "Feet" or EquipmentSlot.Feet

same thing

[shrewd wedge]

Oh

Okay, thank you

[bright torrent]

Thanks

[bright torrent]

Is there a way to set the data for a map item?

[unique dragon]

the only "data" that you can to an itemStack it's lockmode, durability, enchantments and dynamic properties

well, amount and nameTag tho

[distant tulip]

idk if this is off topic or not but most of you here are using github so i think it is the best place to ask
is there a better way to handle pushing addons to a repo the copying both folders to the same folder?
i can use mklink command but there has to be a better alt

[shy leaf]

how do you handle your repo?

i mean as in method, the way you do it

[distant tulip]

i just copy both the rp and bp to where the local repo is and push the changes

i can automate that with mklink but is there a better way?

[shy leaf]

hmmm im not sure if theres a better way, mostly cuz i havent touched github that far

i just let my IDE to make changes in the fork(branch) and pull request into main repo(branch)

[distant tulip]

i was uploading files manually before but i hit the limit of 100 file so i had to clone the repo and use git

[strong oar]

Does anyone have template for connectable chairs/sofas

[subtle cove]

https://tenor.com/view/we-dont-do-that-here-black-panther-tchalla-bruce-gif-16558003

[subtle cove]

#1067876857103536159 should have that already,
but if ur talking abt permutation change whenever a block moved/placed, then script might help...

[strong oar]

Ohh sorry

[strong oar]

Can is ask where is it, I've been trying to find it for hour and I can't find it hehehe

Just like this one

#1283826268839874580 message

[untold magnet]

umm, how can i make something run for only one time inside runInterval?

if (something === true) { run something for only one time, no more }

system.runTimeout(() => { ,,, }, TicksPerSecond * 100000000) will run the thing after a decade

system.runJob(somhow) i fr don't have any idea

 Inside a runInterval!
 ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
if (something === ture) {
  const run = system.run(() =>  { myCommand });
  system.clearRun(run)
}```?

[slow walrus]

system.runTimeout(() => {
  console.log('Hello World!'
}, 10) // 10 ticks

oh

nvm

let run_flag = true;
system.runInterval(() => {
  if (run_flag) {
    // do whatever
    run_flag = false
  }
})

@untold magnet

[untold magnet]

the same runInterval will turn that into true

lemme think about something else

nvm..

it has to be something like let amount = 1; right?

if i put system.runTimeout inside a system.run, is it will run that instantly first, then it will have the runTimeout delay?

i dont think so

[slow walrus]

no it won't

[untold magnet]

system.run(() => { ,,, }, 1)?

[slow walrus]

it's outside of the interval

[untold magnet]

it will not happen only once,

[untold magnet]

this sounds stupid

hmmm

[slow walrus]

that's the point isn't it?

misread

it will happen only once

if your variable is outside of the interval

you're only setting it to false inside the interval

[distant tulip]

what ", 1" for

[untold magnet]

let amount = 1;
↓ inside a runInternal
for (let i = 0; i < amount; i++) {
system.run(() => { ,,, }, i)
}```this sounds stupid too

[untold magnet]

trying to run something only once inside a runInterval

[slow walrus]

bro what

just do what I said

[distant tulip]

uhmm
why do you need system.run for that

[untold magnet]

no?

[slow walrus]

why

[distant tulip]

why

[slow walrus]

do you need it

[untold magnet]

i just want to run something inside the runInterval only once,

[slow walrus]

yeah so do what I said

[untold magnet]

ugh

[untold magnet]

as what i know, that run_flag will be always false bec of the interval, isn't it?

[distant tulip]

do it need to be inside the runInterval ?

[slow walrus]

let run_flag = true; // OUTSIDE of interval, will only be true ONCE
system.runInterval(() => {
  if (run_flag) {
    // everything in here only runs ONCE
    run_flag = false // set the flag to false, so it doesn't ever run again
  }
})

[untold magnet]

yes

[slow walrus]

no, it'll be true if you set it to true, then it'll run everything once, and then it'll be false

[untold magnet]

lemme try and see

hopefully it will work as how i want

[distant tulip]

btw system.run is mostly only used for exiting read only mod in before events

[untold magnet]

i dont need it ig

[distant tulip]

for your case
no

runInterval do the same thing anyway

[untold magnet]

i knew it

that for testing only tho

it should send that message whenever i place the block just like the first time, not only ONCE

[untold magnet]

its just a test to see, placing the block will spawn an entity
that entity is detected using a runInterval, the sendMessage is inside that runInterval

[distant tulip]

place block event be like:
"why i am here"

[untold magnet]

whenever this if (something === true) it will run something only once,

[untold magnet]

im not doing that buddy

this is the code:

if (something === true) {
   // runSomething only once
   system.runTimeout(() => { the same commamd i want to run only once but after 80s }, TicksPerSecond * 80)
}```

lemme make it clear to understand

[distant tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/why-gif-23768806

[slow walrus]

uhh then just reset the flag when you place the block???

[untold magnet]

[slow walrus]

show your whole code, not weird abstract snippets of it

that doesn't tell us anything

[distant tulip]

dealing with block place without block place event is something new

[subtle cove]

uhh, iirc wave made a blockupdate event

[untold magnet]

        const coal = entity.getDynamicProperty('coal')
        if ( item9?.typeId === 'minecraft:coal') entity.setDynamicProperty('coal', true)
        if (coal === true) {
          //run only once
          system.runTimeout(() => { if (slots9Dyc === true && slot11Dyc === true) { item9.amount -= 1 } else entity.setDynamicProperty('coal', false) }, TicksPerSecond * 80);
        }```item9 = inv.getItem(9)

@slow walrus @distant tulip

[untold magnet]

the runInterval is for the entity inventory

[distant tulip]

so? you can runInterval in the event after block place

[untold magnet]

if slot 9 has coal on it, it will run something once, and it will degrees the amount after 80s

to be honest, i want to degrees the coal amount immediately, but only once bec after 80s it will remove one coal from that slot

[slow walrus]

6 lines is really not enough to understand what you're doing

[slow walrus]

decrease*

[untold magnet]

the runInterval is for the entity inventory, like having items in specific slots will run somethings,
like having coal in slot 9 will run something instantly but only once, the same thing will ran after 80s from the first one

[subtle cove]

use containerslot if ur using runtimeout/interval

[untold magnet]

is this will explain it?

        const inv = entity.getComponent('inventory').container;
        const coal = entity.getDynamicProperty('coal')
        if (item9.typeId === 'minecraft:coal') entity.setDynamicProperty('coal', true)
        if (coal === true) {
          //run only once
          system.runTimeout(() => { item9.amount -= 1 }, TicksPerSecond * 80);
        }```

forgot to put this const item9 = inv.getItem(9);

[untold magnet]

how about now?

[slow walrus]

that's still only 6 lines 😭

send

all of it

[subtle cove]

const inv = event.source.getComponent("inventory").container
const item9 = inv.getSlot(9);
const coal = entity.getDynamicProperty('coal');
if (item9.hasItem() && item9.typeId === 'minecraft:coal') {
    entity.setDynamicProperty('coal', true);
}
if (coal === true) {
    //run only once
    system.runTimeout(() => {
        if (!item9.hasItem() || item9.typeId !== "minecraft:coal") return;
        if (slots9Dyc === true && slot11Dyc === true) {
            if (item9.amount === 1) item9.setItem();
            else item9.amount -= 1;
        } else entity.setDynamicProperty('coal', false);
    }, TicksPerSecond * 80);
}

[untold magnet]

u put all of that inside the runTimeout, it will not decrease the item from that slot instantly once, isn't it?

that runTimeout will run one time every 80s
it will run 80s after coal === true

[subtle cove]

uhm, do want it in runInterval?

[untold magnet]

yes, looks buddy

[subtle cove]

hmmm, but what event is it in?

before such interval gets triggered again

[untold magnet]

when coal === true, it will decrease one item only one time, bec system.runTimeout will decrease the item after 80s infinitely,

hmmmm

lemme do something

[subtle cove]

make a post if u may

[untold magnet]

nvm, it has the same issue

[untold magnet]

why is it soo complicated

[subtle cove]

custom furnace?

[untold magnet]

kinda

its a forge block, it needs coal as a fuel

i thought about something really stupid

[subtle cove]

the slot needs continuos checking, not just every 80s

[untold magnet]

when the player interacts with the block while holding flint and steel, it will light the block and make it start burning the coals,

[untold magnet]

wait a moment

[subtle cove]

and that spark lasts for how long...

man, id create a post for this just sayin

[untold magnet]

if (something === true) { system.runTimeout * after 80s)
something = false will happen after 10s, is it will run that timout even if that something isn't true?

[untold magnet]

#1289561553934221382

[untold magnet]

i mean, if i turn off that something, the runTimeout will not happen right?

[subtle cove]

it still tries to timeout unless it's clearRunned

[untold magnet]

if i set that something to false before the runTimeout, it should not run the command inside it bec the section that it's in is turned off right?

lemme make the code and send it inside that post, hopefully someone will help

[subtle cove]

run, runTimeout, runInterval are like rogue code that's sent to run at scheduled tick

so u might have to save the runId to clearRun if ever the 'something' turns false

or just clearRun when u set(something, false)

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible to use Dynamicproperty for an item?

[last latch]

What is the difference between
world.getEntity(identifier)
and
world.getDimension(MinecraftDimensionTypes.overworld).getEntities().find((x) => x.id === identifier)

cuz getEntity works on a beforeEvent but getEntities.find() doesnt

[tiny tartan]

you did x.id it should be typeId, iirc id is different thing than typeId

[fallen cape]

Yes, id is a runtime id (a number)

Oh wait

It should be the same...

If you're not using a typeid instead of the numeric id

[last latch]

i did x.id, shoudnt be typeid

i dont want a cow

i want a specific cow

[subtle cove]

hmm, interesting

uhh, both works for me tho

[supple yoke]

worker is kind of fun

actually optimizing is fun in general

[last latch]

world.beforeEvents.entityRemove.subscribe(({ removedEntity }) => {
    console.warn(world.getEntity(removedEntity.id) + " entity found using getEntity()");

    console.warn(world.getDimension(MinecraftDimensionTypes.overworld).getEntities().find((x) => x.id === removedEntity.id) + " entity found in array");
});

when a entity dies this happens

[last latch]

aha

[bright torrent]

Would it be possible to make a custom version of the lead? Like with a different texture, but the same behavior?

[untold magnet]

anyone alive?

[thorn flicker]

yes

[untold magnet]

does this:
const coal = entity.getDynamicProperty('coal', 0)
coal++
will increase that number?

like from 0 to 1 to 2?

[untold magnet]

get not set*

[thorn flicker]

no

[untold magnet]

make sense actually

[thorn flicker]

so you need to set the dynamic property, and get the current value of it, and do + 1

[untold magnet]

I'll say, my brain is on fire

[untold magnet]

i thought theres a better way

[thorn flicker]

what way would be "better"

[untold magnet]

run something once inside of a runInterval

[untold magnet]

idk

          system.runTimeout(() => {
            if (coalPrc === 0) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 1);
            if (coalPrc === 1) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 2);
            if (coalPrc === 2) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 3);
            if (coalPrc === 3) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 4);
            if (coalPrc === 4) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 5);
            if (coalPrc === 5) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 6);
            if (coalPrc === 6) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 7);
            if (coalPrc === 7) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', 8);
          }, TicksPerSecond * 10);```this will change the number once every 10s

in total 70s

[thorn flicker]

that's bad

lol

[untold magnet]

im wondering if i can make it better

[thorn flicker]

I just told you how.

[untold magnet]

just show me how

[thorn flicker]

...

[untold magnet]

should i say it? ||how||

[thorn flicker]

this is so simple, I dont think I need to show you how lol

I told you how already

[untold magnet]

my brain in a holiday rn

just write it

[thorn flicker]

give your best attempt.

then come back.

[untold magnet]

just...
write it bec my brain isn't working

[thorn flicker]

no.

you already have the variable of getting the dynamic property, use that variable when setting the dynamic property and just do + 1

you are getting the current value and adding onto it.

[untold magnet]

setDynamicProperty('coal' +1)
dont mind me im stupid without my brain

[thorn flicker]

you didnt use the variable.

just add the variable before the math, and you will be all set.

[untold magnet]

if (coalPrc === 0) entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc') + 1?

[thorn flicker]

the setDynamicProperty methods requires 2 parameters.

[untold magnet]

const t17x = stupid({ as: hell })

[thorn flicker]

also you still didnt use the variable.

[untold magnet]

^

buddy i just have no idea how to write it

[thorn flicker]

thats a problem.

atleast you tried.

[untold magnet]

at least i will learn from those mistakes

hopefully

[thorn flicker]

entity.setDynamicProperty('coal', coalPrc + 1)

also in your logic this will only go up if it's 0

which makes this pointless

if this wasnt intentional, remove the if statement, or better yet, check if its defined in the if statement instead.

[thorn flicker]

👋

[terse tide]

Its possible tô make a wait function

Like a set Timeout?

[distant tulip]

system.runTimeout

[terse tide]

But can I make it so that when I have a tag it waits a certain amount of time?

[distant tulip]

if(player.hasTag('hmm')) system.runTimeout

[terse tide]

Thanks

[distant tulip]

are you asking for a delay or wait? like async

[terse tide]

Ye

Comand wait 300 ticks comand

Broh? Its possible or not

[distant tulip]

idk wdym but you can use await and runtimeout

[oblique eagle]

anyone know how to get this to face where the player is facing when spawned? player.runCommandAsync(`summon myth:uppercut_spell_effect ~ ~ ~ ${PlayerViewDirection.z} 0`)

[unique dragon]

use player rotation

and invert the values

[halcyon phoenix]

Hey I need your opinions people:
I got 3 different plants
Should I make 1 global timer and give each plant a probability to grow
OR
Should I make independent timers for each plant

which one would be better and would not have issues in the future?

[subtle cove]

Oh that event, well yeh, the array.find sure is slower than getEntity so that's prob the difference

[subtle cove]

Also, getEntities is like @e and those with hp < 0 aren't included, i think

does anyone know why my manifest is tweaking this is my first time updating it 😭

[shut citrus]

Why the update is nothing specical

[untold copper]

idk im slow

[supple yoke]

reading wikis for algorithms give me a brain hammorrhage

i fucking hate how "scientific" they sound bro.

[shy leaf]

USE
SWITCH

or just, you know, entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', coalPrc)

[velvet swallow]

How can I obtain player kills and deaths?

[supple yoke]

probably jus count them and save it using dynamic props

[untold magnet]

ugh

let coal = entity.getDynamicProperty('coal')
coal = true ← should set the value of coal into true, right?

[unreal cove]

no

[untold magnet]

already

[unreal cove]

entity.setDynamicProperty('coal', true)

[untold magnet]

i was writing that

let coal = entity.getDynamicProperty('coal')
coal = 0 ← should set the value of coal into 0?

[unreal cove]

no

you have to use setDynamicProperty

[untold magnet]

so this is useless: coalPrc = 0;

bec coalPrc is getDynamic not set

[unreal cove]

yup

that will simply just change the value of that variable to 0

[untold magnet]

should i use it or not?

i mean should i use it to change the value of that property or not?

[untold magnet]

^

[subtle cove]

if (coalPrc < 8) {
  entity.setDynamicProperty("coalPrc", coalPrc + 1)
}```

[last latch]

okay, thanks

[ruby haven]

Is it possible to create a custom dimension through scripting API

[wary edge]

No

[ruby haven]

But is it possible in addons

[wary edge]

No

[round bone]

I wrote a simple API in TypeScript/JavaScript, where should I post it?
https://github.com/m0lc14kk/WebhookAPI

Just want to showcase this by a bit.

[subtle cove]

#1046947779118895114 ...

[round bone]

thanks

[subtle cove]

Wc

[untold magnet]

i thought theres a better way to do that

um, guys

entity.isValid() = inside loaded chunks?
!entity.isValid() = inside unloaded chunks?

i want to force the script to work on the entity when it is inside loaded chunks

[static nebula]

Can someone help me? How do I make it so that when I click on a block holding an item in my hand it sends a message in the chat?

[untold magnet]

playerInteractWithBlock

[static nebula]

I've already tried but it doesn't work

[untold magnet]

lemme make it for u,

wait a moment

[static nebula]

Ok, thanks

[untold magnet]

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

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(({ itemStack, block, player }) => {
  if (block?.typeId === 'minecraft:dirt' && itemStack?.typeId === 'minecraft:stick') world.sendMessage(`${player} is interacting with dirt using ${itemStack.typeId}`)
})```

idk maybe the sendMessage have issues

if it has issues just change it

[shy leaf]

youd want to use player.name instead of player

[untold magnet]

oh wait

[untold magnet]

yah i forgot

[static nebula]

Thanks, Let me try

[fallen cape]

in the last module versions (1.15.0-beta iirc) they changed it so you should use beforeEvents if it's not a interaction registered by the game/custom component

[static nebula]

It didn't work, it doesn't show any error but the sendMessage doesn't appear either.

[shy leaf]

@static nebula

[static nebula]

But I'm using 1.14.0 beta

[shy leaf]

what version is your minecraft

[static nebula]

I haven't updated it yet

1.21.22

[shy leaf]

i guess you can still try beforeevent

just in case

[static nebula]

Let me try

Yes, now it works, thank you very much.

[untold magnet]

i think

playerInteractWithBlock works only on items that can interact with blocks

like shovel can interact with dirt or axe can with wood

[fallen cape]

so it was updated in 1.14.0-beta ? gtk

[untold magnet]

u have to use itemUseOn component

[north rapids]

How do I get an anchored position for the player? Something similar to the command 'execute as @s anchored eyes positioned ^^^0.8 '

[subtle cove]

maybe player.getHeadLocation()

[north rapids]

The anchor part I believe is that, but what about the offset?

Maybe if I get the block in the direction of the player's view and use the vector it will work

[untold magnet]

well, buddy
i still have no idea how isValid work

isValid should make it works inside the loaded chunks only right?

!isValid will make it work inside unloaded chunks only, right?

entity.isValid() → works only inside loaded chunks
!entity.isValid() → works only inside unloaded chunks
without isValid → works inside loaded and unloaded chunks

[north rapids]

I think I'll just use a runCommand

[subtle cove]

e.isValid()// true loaded
e.isValid()// false unloa(ded)

[north rapids]

I don't want to spend hours making a vec-2 to vec-3 converter

I was thinking about using getRotation()

[deep plank]

Removing z properties won't take you an hour, lol.

[north rapids]

Considering I'm completely dumb, yes

[subtle cove]

also ur prob gona use that converter furthermore

[halcyon phoenix]

is there anyway to create entity displays?

same as the one in java

[supple yoke]

if I were to choose to keep either promises or for while loops

it's async all the way

ppl need to learn their async await man

[subtle cove]

Promise.all

[supple yoke]

my beloved

more useful than race imo

or any of the Promise statics for that matter

[subtle cove]

i used it to collect member's approval to create a group

[supple yoke]

nice

promises is nice

second best JavaScript feature ngl

(the fist would be arrow functions)

[subtle cove]

then aboozed it like diz```js
await new Promise(r=>{ return })

[supple yoke]

what

[subtle cove]

neva to return

awaiting for nothing

[supple yoke]

sure ig

[subtle cove]

basically, there's resolve, reject, and abort

[supple yoke]

uh huh and?

[subtle cove]

dunno

[supple yoke]

then what were you going on about

fair

been using typed array recently

they're pretty fun

bitwise stuff makes me feel smart af lol

[subtle cove]

hopefully someday I'll have time to experiment lots with such data type

[oblique eagle]

its giving an error let rotation = player.getRotation() player.runCommandAsync(`summon myth:uppercut_spell_effect ~ ~ ~ ${rotation} 0`)

[steep hamlet]

is it possible to change knockback resistance?

[sage portal]

Dude, just...

Just use ^^^1

If you're going to use commands instead of the native method, you don't even have to worry about figuring out rotations.

[thorn flicker]

You should use native methods instead of commands tho

[distant tulip]

Dude, just...

Just use spawnEntity(id,{rotation:vector3})

[sage portal]

Preferably, but I'd imagine he's new to this

[thorn flicker]

there's an interface for spawn entity?

[distant tulip]

yeah?

[thorn flicker]

I did not realize.

[distant tulip]

under dimension class

[thorn flicker]

interface

im not talking about the method to spawn an entity

[distant tulip]

hmm?

[thorn flicker]

no interface

[distant tulip]

wdym

[thorn flicker]

why are you sending me this

[oblique eagle]

I’m not trying to make it spawn in front of the player, I’m trying to make it spawn facing where the player is facing

[distant tulip]

use native methods
it is much easier

[keen gull]

How can i create loop? Loop wich will run command in every 2 second

[thorn flicker]

system.runInterval

[thorn flicker]

you can do dimension.spawnEntity('minecraft:entity', vector3).setRotation(player.getRotation())

however, it takes time for the entity to update its rotation after being spawned sometimes.

[oblique eagle]

is it player.dimension?

it says dimension undefined

[distant tulip]

nvm i was wrong here
writing from memory lol
what @thorn flicker sent i correct

[thorn flicker]

well you need to get the dimension class from somewhere.

get the player's dimension.

[oblique eagle]

let dimension = player.dimension would this work?

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[keen gull]

Okey but it does not work

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

system.runInterval(() => {
system.runCommandAsync("effect @a regeneration 2 3");
}, 1);

I should replace system.runCommandAsync with something(bc it gives error)but i did not know with what.

[oblique eagle]

says vector3 is undefined

[thorn flicker]

because its undefined, obviously, its just a placeholder.

use the variable you made thats stores the player's dimension.

[oblique eagle]

it works

thx

wait

it kinda works

rotation is messed up a bit

[thorn flicker]

?

inverting them would mean it faces you

[oblique eagle]

my brain is tired idk

it faces where the player is facing only in some directions

[thorn flicker]

it takes a bit for the rotation to update, like I said

maybe that's what you are experiencing

[oblique eagle]

oh

[thorn flicker]

(its lame)

[oblique eagle]

its really lame

im spam clicking the same direction and it is not changing direction lol

[thorn flicker]

idk if they are going to "fix" this or not

is it even broken? I dont know, but its lame either way

lol

[thorn flicker]

well thats odd

it should be

by taking time, I meant like a couple seconds

[oblique eagle]

oh

my entity exists for only like half a second

i can see it turn tho

i see it spawn then rotate but face the wrong direction

[supple yoke]

fyi you can do that with CMD by doing

execute at player run summon something xyz ~~

[distant tulip]

i am using same thing and it is working fine
keep in mind the body rotation need time
you can fix that with animations

[steep hamlet]

how to check if an entity is alive?

[round bone]

how can I communicate with my websocket server on world?

[supple yoke]

entity.isValid

[supple yoke]

like with script API?

[round bone]

or commands

[runic crypt]

how can i make a refrigerator that actually stores items ?

like a chest thing ?

[distant tulip]

custom entity

[round bone]

I used /connect and I don't really know what should I do next

[supple yoke]

https://www.s-anand.net/blog/programming-minecraft-with-websockets/

check this out

[runic crypt]

also @distant tulip can you join my world i wanna test something ??

[runic crypt]

yea i know that but how ?

[distant tulip]

sure

[supple yoke]

really nice resource

[runic crypt]

ok ill send invite

[round bone]

I'll check this out

got it, is there any list with listeners?

[supple yoke]

elaborate please

[round bone]

I would like to add support for Realms for my API that I wrote today

so I have to use websockets to send somehow request to Discord

[supple yoke]

uh huh

[round bone]

so um, can I somehow listen to scriptevent command or smth>

[rugged tinsel]

you can send a tellraw to the player that has the websocket connected

the tellraw can be read from your websocket

[supple yoke]

https://gist.github.com/jocopa3/5f718f4198f1ea91a37e3a9da468675c

[round bone]

technically I can send messages via tellraw that i'll hide using JSON-UI then

[supple yoke]

here are all events (that I know of) that can be subscribed to

which includes chat messages if that's what you're looking for

[rugged tinsel]

that would probably be the only way, yeah

afaik, there's no other way to send strings to websockets

[round bone]

I think this will be pretty easy way

[rugged tinsel]

PlayerMessage is the event you'll want to listen for

[round bone]

import { Server } from "ws";
import { v4 } from "uuid";

const wss = new Server({ port: 8080 });

wss.on('connection', (ws) => {
    ws.send("WebSocket server has been started!");

    ws.on('message', (message) => {
        console.log(`${message}`);
        ws.send(`You sent: ${message}`);
    });

    ws.on('close', () => {
        console.log("Client has been disconnected.");
    });

    ws.send(
        JSON.stringify({
            "header": {
                "version": 1,                    
                "requestId": v4(),         
                "messageType": "commandRequest",
                "messagePurpose": "subscribe"
            },

            "body": {
                "eventName": "PlayerMessage"
            },
        })
    );
});

console.log('WebSocket server is running on ws://localhost:8080');

I got some code already xD

[supple yoke]

nice 👍

[round bone]

I thought it was a bit harder

[runic crypt]

@distant tulip
what happened ??

[distant tulip]

i said i gtg
kinda busy
just ask here it is not a hard thing to do

[runic crypt]

oki

can anyone tell me how to make something in which if i right click an npc (custom npc) a chest ui opens up in which i can actually put items and take them out later

??

[carmine yarrow]

What world event recently got an option to only fire once on use ?

[wary edge]

[woven loom]

i made a simple wrapper that you might find that this useful
https://github.com/WavePlayz/bedrock-websocket-server-wrapper/

    let response = await client.runCommand( "say " + name + " joined" )
    
    if ( await client.test( "x=0,y=0,z=0,r=5" ) ) {
        client.sub( "PlayerMessage", event => {
            console.log( event )
        
            client.unsub("PlayerMessage")
        } )
    } else {
        
    }
} )

server.onDisconnect( client => {

server.start(8089)

I already wrote what I need, but I appreciate that

🫡

I already bought sample discord.js (Node.js) cheap host and everything is working fine

Just need some time to publish it

[sage portal]

does the entityHurt afterEvent detect when the damage is fatal?

[unique dragon]

no

you can do this getting the health of the entity that was hurt

then you can calculate if it's fatal using this:

const hurtEntityHealth = hurtEntity.getComponent('health').currentValue;
const isFatal = (hurtEntityHealth - damage) <= 0 ? true : false;

tbh idk if that works

or just get the life, should work

[oblique heath]

const isFatal = hurtEntityHealth <= damage;

[shy leaf]

cant you just do js const isFatal = (hurtEntityHealth <= 0);

since its entityHurt event, the currentValue for health would be after the damage anyway

[unique dragon]

didn't know that xd

[unique dragon]

ah yes

cause there's no before event yet

bruh i already want to use that event

annoying to cancel the fatal damage using json

[terse tide]

Its possible to make a text display in block using json and script api?

[terse tide]

Anyone

[unique dragon]

not really, the only block that can do that is the command block, you can use a invisible entity and then rename it

and u spawn it above the block

[terse tide]

That would be cool, but what I really need is to make a display on the block texture

[oblique heath]

basically like a sign right?

[terse tide]

Ye

[oblique heath]

not possible

[drowsy scaffold]

is there any way to prevent a player from using / commands with scripts or regular bds?

[bright torrent]

If you don’t mind monospace text, and ascii only, you could create a texture ahead of time with each character on it ahead of time. Then, you could spawn a single particle for each letter and have it use the appropriate part of the texture. Best I can come up with. The add ons are too limited in my opinion.

[terse tide]

Thanks

[bright torrent]

No problem. I wanted to do something similar. I though about modifying map items’ data directly but I believe that’s not possible

[little sphinx]

How can I get the player's main hand slot in a script?

[shy leaf]

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

returns undefined if the player is not holding anything

[little sphinx]

Ok thanks

[little sphinx]

const selectedSlot = player.getComponent('equippable') const item = EquipmentSlot?.getEquipment('Mainhand'); console.warn(selectedSlot, item.typeId)

like this?

[shy leaf]

oh wait, you want the selected slot? or just the item on mainhand

[little sphinx]

The item in main hand

[shy leaf]

then you dont need anything abt slot, only that

[little sphinx]

But then how do I get the main hand item?

[shy leaf]

that gives you the main hand item

When will 1.15.0 @minecraft-server will be released? 1.21.40?

[remote oyster]

Do you mean 1.16.0? 1.15.0 is released with 1.21.30.

Oh, my apologies, you mean for Stable, not Beta.

[buoyant canopy]

other than loops is there a change dimension detector in the script api?

[remote oyster]

There is an event listener for when a player changes dimension.

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.15.0-beta.1.21.30-stable/classes/PlayerDimensionChangeAfterEvent.html

[buoyant canopy]

that's beta

[remote oyster]

You didn't specify 😜

[buoyant canopy]

you're right, i forgot

[remote oyster]

In stable, you only have the option of looping through players.

[buoyant canopy]

i guess that's my only option then

^ that if it's initialized but not defined.

[warm drum]

LOL

Yeah

1.15.0 stable

1.21.40 maybe?

[remote oyster]

Is it just me, or does your username resemble a partition on Android?

#random lol

[round bone]

just you probably

or I don't know something xD

[untold magnet]

I'm using that method ('coalPrc' coalPrc + 1) and it works fine, but not for the second one for some reason

i mean

entity.setDynamicProperty('coalPrc', coalPrc + 1); this works just fine

[round bone]

coalPrc might be undefined, this might be the issue

or any other type

[remote oyster]

Don't worry about it lol.

Partitions on Android are represented by device node names like mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, etc., which correspond to the physical block devices and their partitions. Your name, for a brief moment, resembled that, but I couldn't recall the actual spelling of such node names until I went back to verify haha.

[remote oyster]

let procsC = entity.getDynamicProperty('procsC');

entity.setDynamicProperty('procsC', procsC + 1);

const test = entity.getDynamicProperty('procsC');

console.log(test);

This will not work, because I am declaring procsC but not defining it. It's not defined because the dynamic property it's trying to retrieve in that variable doesn't exist. Meaning that I have not created it nor defined it before attempting to get its value. When a dynamic property doesn't exist it returns undefined, thus the variable procsC will be undefined. So in the next line of code you attempt to set a value for a dynamic property called procsC by adding a variable and a number. Since procsC is undefined due to the failed attempt in the first line of code, you get an error. You can't add 1 to a variable that is not defined by a number.

Now, let's forget the example above. Let's assume you do in fact declare and define procsC in your code which you have not shown us. Then you must be sure it's a number and nothing else. You cannot mathematically add 1 to a string, vector, or any other type that is not a number without prior intervention.

[quasi meteor]

can I save .txt or any file via script api?

[round bone]

no, beacuse you don't have permission to modify/read files via API

the closest thing you can do is render a textField form with default value that you would like to save

and manually save it

or use WebSockets/HTTP requests to export some data and handle them by their servers

[round bone]
