How to search entities instead of players? Like that?

const target = [...world.getEntites()].find(e => e.hasTag(`stand`))

[random flint]

dimension.getEntities

[dim tusk]

what gega means is

const target = [...world.getDimension('overworld').getEntites()].find(e => e.hasTag(`stand`))```
or
```js
for (const dimension of ['overworld', 'nether', 'the_end']) {
  const target = [...world.getDimension(dimension).getEntites()].find(e => e.hasTag(`stand`))
}```

[warm mason]

const target = world.getDimension('overworld').getEntities({tags: ["stand"]})[0]

[random flint]

world.getEntities = function (option=null) {
    return [
        ...world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities(option),
        ...world.getDimension("nether").getEntities(option),
        ...world.getDimension("the_end").getEntities(option)
    ]
}

[warm mason]

What do these dots mean?

[random flint]

Conveniently merge two array into one single array

if u didnt use the dot it'll become a nested array (array in array)

[dim tusk]

combining them into one array,
-# oof gega answered already

[warm mason]

[...[1,2,3], ...[4,5,6]] = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
``` ?

[random flint]

yes

[distant gulch]

does it uses the symbol.iterableIterator?

ohh thats okay

[random flint]

Deleted cus I'm not sure either :P

[distant gulch]

hmm dw

[random flint]

Does the name matter? Just know what it does should be enough

[distant gulch]

Just wanted to know - can be useful for own objects

[idle dagger]

How to make mobs to not attack players without changing difficulty?

[random flint]

Use entity.json and edit the target condition or player's family

[idle dagger]

well but how to get the new entity.json file? Cuz in vanilla behavior pack it’s 1.18.20 format version

[random flint]

google search

any github repository or smt

[idle dagger]

will it work if I replace “tags” with “name”?

[crude flame]

how do i spawn a mob, which is a baby?

or like spawn mobs with components

[thorn flicker]

trigger the event that adds their baby component group

to find that, look in their files.

[crude flame]

is it like possible to "clone" a mob, with all their components

[thorn flicker]

for sheep, there's an event called spawn_baby

[crude flame]

ok, thank you

[thorn flicker]

you can clone mobs with structures

there's no official method to clone mobs yet

[crude flame]

and to "copy" components to another mob?

[thorn flicker]

no

[crude flame]

ok

[crude flame]

i want to make a wand that turns every mob in a range into a baby, but the problem is, that the mobs have different baby events. Is there a solution to this

[grim raft]

yo

wanna know how to make code colored when I send it in discord

[distant tulip]

```language
//code
```
for example
```js
//code
```

  //code

[grim raft]

ty

[distant tulip]

make object that map every event name to it mob type
for example

  const eventName = {
    "mineccraft:bee":"mob:event",
    //...
  }

[dull shell]

whats the best way to start to learn this

microsoft docs?

Thank you!

[thorn spindle]

Hey anyone know how I can save the player inv even when player disconnect?
const inventory = player.getComponent('minecraft:inventory').container;
With this method once the player disconnects the variable gets erased

[idle dagger]

let cache = {}

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
            let items = []
            for (let i = 0; i < 36; i++) {
                const item = player.getComponent("inventory").container.getItem(i)
                if (item) { items.push(item) }
            }
            for (const equipment of ["Offhand", "Head", "Chest", "Legs", "Feet"]) {
                const item = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipment(equipment)
                if (item) { items.push(item) }
            }
            cache[player.name] = items
           if (!item) return cache[player.name] === undefined;
        }
});

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
    if (!initialSpawn) return;
    for (const item of cache[name]) {
            dimension.spawnItem(item, location)
        }
});

[idle dagger]

idk how to check if player got disconnected

[thorn spindle]

Yeah i have sumthing like this

But the problem is the saving in the world

[craggy stratus]

world.sendMessage(`§4${attacker.nameTag , "killed The Ender Dragon"}`);
whats the proper formatting for a sendMessage command like this?

[thorn spindle]

Okay thanks, do you have an example of how to save this const inventory in setdynamicproperty for example?

Alright sure, thanks!

[slow walrus]

itemstacks aren't entirely serializable so you'll lose nbt data if you do it this way

you could copy all the items to a storage entity and then save it in a structure though

[distant gulch]

🧐

[distant gulch]

is there anything that cannot be serialized?

[slow walrus]

wdym?

[distant gulch]

What data in an Itemstack cannot be serialized

[slow walrus]

a lot of it

technically none of the itemstack can be serialized in place

you gotta first get the typeid, enchants, lore, nametag etc

and then serialize those

and then make a new itemstack and set those

[remote oyster]

Rough draft @thorn spindle

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

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe((event) => {
    const player = event.player;

    let inventoryData = {};
    const inventoryContainer = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
    const inventorySize = inventoryContainer.size;

    for (let index = 0; index < inventorySize; index++) {
        const item = inventoryContainer.getItem(index);
        if (!item) continue;

        let itemData = {
            typeId: item.typeId,
            count: item.amount,
            lore: [],
            enchantments: []
        };

        // Get item lore (if any)
        const lore = item.getLore();
        if (lore.length > 0) {
            itemData.lore = lore;
        }

        // Get enchantments (if any)
        const enchantmentsComponent = item.getComponent('enchantments');
        if (enchantmentsComponent) {
            const enchantments = enchantmentsComponent.getEnchantments();
            if (enchantments.length > 0) {
                itemData.enchantments = enchantments.map((enchantment) => ({
                    id: enchantment.type.id,
                    level: enchantment.level
                }));
            }
        }

        // Get custom name tag (if any)
        const nameTag = item.nameTag;
        if (nameTag) {
            itemData.customName = nameTag;
        }

        // Store the item data in the inventoryData object
        inventoryData[`item_${index}`] = itemData;
    }

    // Serialize and save the inventory data
    let serializedInventory = JSON.stringify(inventoryData);
    world.setDynamicProperty(`savedInventory_${player.id}`, serializedInventory);

    console.log(`Saved inventory data for ${player.name} (ID: ${player.id}) to the world.`);
});

[glacial widget]

Does anyone know how to set armor from a chest into your equipment slot(armor slot)

[distant gulch]

witht the component eqquipable

[distant gulch]

player.getComponent('equippable').setEquipment('Chest', <yourItem>);

[quick shoal]

Who can help me fix this error

I so confuse of this

[distant tulip]

that is a typescript error
you can just ignore it if you are not working with ts

[quick shoal]

Wdym

Its not a Error?

[warm mason]

debugger is wrong

[quick shoal]

Oh

God I trapped by it for a long time

[buoyant canopy]

FINALLY!

[past blaze]

Wow, and I was just starting to use it in my addon too. What are the chances

[buoyant canopy]

we no longer need laggy 3D nested loops to search for blocks

[glacial widget]

thanks bro, it worked

[sage portal]

is there a stable way to remove tags from a player that is disconnecting from the world?

[winter plaza]

How do I execute a command when I break a stone block?

[warm mason]

let commandList = ["say test", "say test2"] 

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(data => {
  let player = data.player
  let block = data.block
  if (block.typeId == "minecraft:stone") system.run(() => {
    commandList.forEach(cmd => player.runCommand(cmd))
  })
})

[winter plaza]

Thanks

api 1.13.0

[warm mason]

hmmm...

Not sure if it will work there

[winter plaza]

ok

[scarlet lynx]

How do I store player data as world? So I can edit/retrive it offline?

In dynamic propertys opfc

ofc*

[granite badger]

try if this helps https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/features/dynamic-properties.html

[fading sand]

How do i run an command when an player named "ID" joins the server?
Also how do i check if an player kicks an other player?

[valid ice]

player spawn event for the first one

Second one- player leave, although you can’t find if they were kicked or just left on their own

[fading sand]

Ahh ok, thx
Hmm🤔 but there must be smth different in player stats or so when hes kicked

[valid ice]

There sure ain't

[terse pulsar]

Why the tag don't assing?

export function showForm(player) {
  let filiationForm = new MessageFormData();
  filiationForm.title("§l§0Choose Your Filiation");
  filiationForm.body("Wich side you gonna get in? there are two options, the marine(honor) and   the pirate(bounty), you can change it");
  filiationForm.button1("§l§9Marine");
  filiationForm.button2("§l§cPirate");

  filiationForm.show(player).then(r => {
    if (r.canceled) {
      system.runTimeout((() => showForm(player)), 10)
    } else {
      world.sendMessage("Welcome to §lBlock Fruits server§r, you selected " + (["§l§9Marine", "§l§cPirate"][r.selection]));
      if (r.selection === 0) {
        world.getEntity(playerId).addTag("marine")
      } else {
        world.getEntity(playerId).addTag("pirate")
      }
    }
  })
}

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(eventData => {
  if (eventData.initialSpawn) showForm(eventData.player)
})

The error:

[Scripting][error]-Unhandled promise rejection: InvalidArgumentError: Unexpected type passed to function argument [0]. Expected type: string

[valid ice]

What is playerId

And you can just do player.addTag(), you don't have to do world.getEntity()

[terse pulsar]

Hummm

Sorry the ping

[valid ice]

No worries

Same error

[Scripting][error]-Unhandled promise rejection: InvalidArgumentError: Unexpected type passed to function argument [0]. Expected type: string

Would recommend adding a .catch(error => console.warn(error, error.stack)) at the end of your form .show() so you can get the line the error is on

like: form.show(…).catch(…

[winged gull]

it is not completely random, it is only pseudo-random.

if you want proper color space conversion, I recommend https://www.npmjs.com/package/color-core

[glacial widget]

why does this not work?

world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe((e) => {
  console.log(`Entity spawned: ${e.entity.typeId}, NameTag: ${e.entity.nameTag}`);
  if (e.entity.typeId !== "minecraft:item") return;
  if (e.entity.nameTag === "§d§lStarter") e.entity.kill();
});

[winged gull]

if you don't want to use a js bundler like ESBuild then here is an already bundled one from one of my add-ons:

[glacial widget]

meant to kill entitys with "§d§lStarter" name

[winged gull]

I recommend using event as the variable name, as e is usually used for errors

[glacial widget]

i did still nothing happens

[winged gull]

is it giving you any errors

[glacial widget]

none

[winged gull]

are you getting the console log

[glacial widget]

i have it all turned on

[winged gull]

and do you have your content log level set to "info" in settings

[glacial widget]

no errors at all

[glacial widget]

yes

[winged gull]

so it did log it in the console?

[glacial widget]

still nothing

[shy leaf]

check if the entitySpawn event is firing at the first place

[winged gull]

oh wait

is it supposed to kill ITEMS with the name

[glacial widget]

ohh

[winged gull]

or

other entities

[glacial widget]

yes

[winged gull]

oh then are you sure the formatting codes are in the EXACT same order on both

[glacial widget]

yes

[winged gull]

wait so is the

console.log(`Entity spawned: ${e.entity.typeId}, NameTag: ${e.entity.nameTag}`);

function working at least

[glacial widget]

world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe((ev) =>{
  console.log(`Entity spawned ${ev.entity.typeId}, NameTag: ${ev.entity.nameTag}`);
})

this doesn't work like how

wait its warn lol

now i get a warning but i dont get the "NameTag"

[distant gulch]

entitySpawn already returns the entity

Your asking for a double undefined

ev.nameTag```

[glacial widget]

oh

this works but doesnt kill the entity

world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe((ev) =>{

  const entity = ev.entity
  console.warn(`Entity spawned ${ev.entity.typeId}, NameTag: ${ev.entity.nameTag}`);
  if (entity.typeId != "minecraft:item") return;
  if (entity.nameTag === "§d§lStarter") e.entity.kill();
})

[distant gulch]

e is not defined

[glacial widget]

still nothing

[distant gulch]

I already told you why your code does not work

[dull jungle]

Quick question, how am I getting large watchdog spikes? All I have in my scripts is a system interval that says test.

It happens whenever I join the game.

[distant gulch]

gametest moment

[dull jungle]

...

[distant gulch]

Gametest(Js engine) is dependent on your system if its on a local world. Your computer is probably allocating more resources in loading the world then actually running gametest, leading to a watchdog notification

[dull jungle]

Ah okay, thanks.

[shy leaf]

this depends on how you set the runInterval

[dim tusk]

Guys, is there a way to place a block from an item with it's DATA? We know you could turn blocks in the world into item stack...

[random flint]

Dispenser

[dim tusk]

Dispenser do place block?

[random flint]

Depend on what block

shulkerbox? yes

Alternatively, simulated players

[dim tusk]

Tbh idk how to use it... But can you make that the player who placed it not visible?

[random flint]

Either use the invisibility potion effect or use the scale component in player.json

[dim tusk]

Any dev resources have a sample related to simulated players?

[random flint]

I cant find it

It's deeply buried

[slow walrus]

structure

[dim tusk]

Yeah I did that... Still thanks, the simulated players is kinda complex just for that

Lol

[neon thunder]

I have this code: ```javascript:

let dynamicUI = new ActionFormData()
.title("Select Destination");

        for (let i = 0; i < anarray.length; i++) {
            dynamicUI.button(anarray[i].name);
        }``` but it doesn't work.  How do I do this, dynamically add buttons to a server-ui ActionFormData form?

Grr. Why won't it syntax highlight?

Ahh opps. my bad 🙂

[dim tusk]

What does it supposed to do?

And what's inside of anarray

[neon thunder]

interesting things

I have it working now, I wasn't checking something

[slow walrus]

I mean it should work

you can do that

[neon thunder]

How many buttons before it bombs out?

does it do pages, the ui?

[dim tusk]

Depends your device but mostly when it reaches 200+ I think it would lag when you try to scroll

[neon thunder]

ahh you can scroll. awesome

[dim tusk]

Nope it doesn't have built-in pages but there's an addon who did that afaik jayly have than in his GitHub page

[neon thunder]

Hmm. I;ve decided I don't want to customise the ui json files because it is a potential source of incompatibility with other addons

[dim tusk]

He didn't modify the json ui iirc he just added extra button for next and previous

[neon thunder]

Are the dynamic properties on world loaded when beforeinitialise event is called?

Okay, seems not to me

oh wait.. doh

[remote oyster]

For proper syntax highlighting on discord use this formatting with JavaScript.

```js
Block of code here
```

[dim tusk]

Guys is the equippable component works on entities now?

[remote oyster]

Not sure, I remember them disabling that a long while ago, with the intentions of bringing it back. Not sure if they have yet. A quick test would confirm it.

[warm mason]

No

[dim tusk]

That sucks

[neon thunder]

thx

[dim tusk]

How do I set item on the main hand if the entity not player... Shii I sound rookie here.

Need to get back on js now

[hybrid island]

how do i detect if a arrow hit a mob..

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe((data) => {
    let he = data.hitEntity
    let de = data.damagingEntity
    let det = de.typeId
    let dp = data.damageSource?.damagingProjectile;
    //let owner = dp.getComponent("minecraft:projectile")?.owner;
    if (!de) {
        world.sendMessage(`working`)
    }
})

[dim tusk]

Try de.getComponent('projectile') or de.typeId === 'minecraft:arrow'

[distant gulch]

No it isn't.

[fading sand]

💀

[granite badger]

Why do you wanna see who kicked someone? I thought only the host can do that

[dim tusk]

For those who are confused or who questioned mark jaylys message the context is this.

[granite badger]

Whoops

[dim tusk]

Anyways, I wanna share something

If you know a solution just tell me, so the entityHitBlock function returns the block and source who broke it. When you're in creative it still triggers it but when you want to put the block in a structure the structure is empty because you broke the block so fast it didn't have time to load lmao.,

[grim raft]

function health(Player) {
    const health = new ActionFormData();
    health.body({ "rawtext": [{ "text": "§l\n§r" }, { "text": "§lLevel:§r" }, { "score": { "name": "@s", "objective": "Speed" } }, { "text": "§l\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n§r" }] })```
Scoreboard not appearing in menu

[warm mason]

You don't even call the menu via .show()

[grim raft]

ik this is just a part of it

when opening the menu I want the score speed to show next to level:

[warm mason]

Make sure the name is correct and try * instead of @s

[grim raft]

ok

[warm mason]

if it is called speed, then the menu also needs speed, not Speed

[grim raft]

no its Speed mb

{ "rawtext": [{ "text": "§l\n§r" }, { "text": "§lLevel:§r" }, { "score": { "name": "*", "objective": "Speed" } }, { "text": "§l\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n§r" }] }```

like this?

[warm mason]

yes

[grim raft]

ok gonna try it

[grim raft]

still not showing

[warm mason]

I suggest then not to bother with rawtext and just write js "Level: " + (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Speed")?.getScore(player) || 0)

[grim raft]

ok ty

didnt think of that

it works now

but how do I add space?

is it the same as in rawtext?

[warm mason]

?

\n

[grim raft]

ok

I want it after the scoreboard

[warm mason]

"Level: " + (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Speed")?.getScore(player) || 0) + "\n\nText"```

[warm mason]

hmm

[grim raft]

this is why I wanted to use rawtext lol

[warm mason]

It works for me

Ahh

You put the wrong signs. You need \ and you put /

@grim raft

[grim raft]

oh

OH

MB

[round bone]

\n instead /n

[warm mason]

@round bone

[round bone]

didn't read

[quick shoal]

I think the name part can change to ${player.name}

[grim raft]

ty but dont need help anymore

and thats a very good info

[quick shoal]

Okey

[grave thistle]

I'm trying to rename a spawned item with myItemStack.nameTag = { translate: "translation.key" }. However, the item is just called object. Is it not possible to rename items using translation keys?

same when typing it as rawText

[grave thistle]

ah, what a shame. I'm making more bucketable mobs and have it so the mobs name is retained. I was hoping to have the words "Bucket of" be a translation key followed by the mobs name

[somber echo]

I have exactly the same problem, it happens with normal forms and with customs that have a collection

There are a lot of bugs with ghosts in Minecraft

Sometimes my entities stop being valid for no reason...

[distant tulip]

yeah i found out that it was json ui related

[cold grove]

Hey

Items (entity) velocity are bugged or something?

Like, an known issue?

[distant gulch]

Did PeterGriffin_num1fan just got banned?

[dim tusk]

Uhuh...

I called the mods

[distant gulch]

Due his latest messages?

[dim tusk]

Yeah but he also spams stupid bullshit and random shit on other channels without context or reasons

[distant gulch]

Hmm seems like he got what he harvest

[dim tusk]

He also wanted to touch a y'know?

[dim tusk]

Good for you.

Lol, my script is 40kb 👀

[distant gulch]

For gods sake

idk what to say now

[fading sand]

I wana add an funny feature

[neon thunder]

Heyas.. I'm looking at Container.addItem... What does it return exactly? Does it return the untransferred item or something else?

[subtle cove]

Yes

ItemStack | undefined

[neon thunder]

That doesn't tell me what the return values mean. I'm assuming undefined when the item was transferred just like transferItem

[subtle cove]

It returns the untransferred/excess/remains, otherwise undefined/none

[neon thunder]

yep

How can I destroy items having only the itemstack?

In the PlayerInteractWithEntity afterevent, I'm trying to manipulate the beforeItemStack and itemStack members of the event. It tells me that itemStack is read only. How can I trick it into transferring the items and reducing the counts etc?

[neon thunder]

Dang even in survival mode, its duplicating the items

[neon thunder]

Oh man, even trying to get the equipment slot doesn't give me what I need to do a transferitem

[distant gulch]

system.run

[neon thunder]

nonsense.. what do I actually do?

[distant gulch]

?

 private constructor();
    /**
     * @remarks
     * The ItemStack before the interaction succeeded, or undefined
     * if hand is empty.
     *
     */
    readonly beforeItemStack?: ItemStack;
    /**
     * @remarks
     * The ItemStack after the interaction succeeded, or undefined
     * if hand is empty.
     *
     */
    readonly itemStack?: ItemStack;
    /**
     * @remarks
     * Source Player for this event.
     *
     */
    readonly player: Player;
    /**
     * @remarks
     * The entity that will be interacted with.
     *
     */
    readonly target: Entity;```

The event returns readonly

[neon thunder]

And?

[distant gulch]

If you want to modify it you have to elevate its permissions

[neon thunder]

I need to delete the itemstack entirely

[distant gulch]

You can set it as a empty item stack by setting the amount to 0

[neon thunder]

Doesn't seem to work

And the documentation says it must be greater than 0

[distant gulch]

setItem(slot, null)```

    /**
     * @remarks
     * Sets an item stack within a particular slot.
     *
     * This function can't be called in read-only mode.
     *
     * @param slot
     * Zero-based index of the slot to set an item at.
     * @param itemStack
     * Stack of items to place within the specified slot. Setting
     * `itemStack` to undefined will clear the slot.
     * @throws
     * Throws if the container is invalid or if the `slot` index is
     * out of bounds.
     */```

``` * `itemStack` to undefined will clear the slot.```

[neon thunder]

yeah but I couldn't find the slot. I eventually got it from the equippable component's getEquipmentSlot("Mainhand")

[dim tusk]

I mean he's not wrong, you can't modify anything in before events so you need to use system.run and it's not nonsense genius

[neon thunder]

no you wouldn't need system.run I don't think to get the equipment slot for the item and change that

The only reason I'm using system.run myself in this event handler is because I'm presenting forms

[dim tusk]

I said... He's not wrong that you can't modify anything in before events without system.run

That's all... Nothing else

[neon thunder]

ugh it has nothing to do with anything I'm actually trying to achieve

const destcontainer = djinn[formData.selection].getComponent("inventory")?.container;
const remainder = destcontainer.addItem(itemStack);

const equip = player.getComponent("equippable");
const equipslot = equip.getEquipmentSlot("Mainhand");

equipslot.setItem(remainder);``` would be able to be done without system.run I highly suspect

why doesn't it syntax highlight??

[distant gulch]

lol what

[dim tusk]

You're just getting not setting so you don't need system.run

[neon thunder]

setItem

[dim tusk]

Didn't notice the last one

[distant gulch]

const remainder = destcontainer.addItem(itemStack);
what is up with this?

addItem``` does not return anything

[unique dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/discord-triple-backticks-triple-backticks-backticks-code-block-discord-code-block-gif-27410596

[neon thunder]

I have been trying various transfer methods and that's some remanent code

[dim tusk]

Thank you.

[neon thunder]

No! addItem does return an ItemStack

[distant gulch]

Returns the itemStack of the itemStack you just set it to?

[neon thunder]

No, less any items that were transferred

[distant gulch]

What?

[neon thunder]

yeah, if they can't be added, they are returned

[dim tusk]

Huh? Equippable use setEquipment not add item tho

Bro why you always sound angry 😆

[distant gulch]

This code does none of that?

[neon thunder]

huh? Sure it does

[distant gulch]

const destcontainer = djinn[formData.selection].getComponent("inventory")?.container;
const remainder = destcontainer.addItem(itemStack);

const equip = player.getComponent("equippable");
const equipslot = equip.getEquipmentSlot("Mainhand");

equipslot.setItem(remainder);```

This?

[neon thunder]

yeah?

[distant gulch]

use camel casing, its very hard to read

const destContainer = djinn[formData.selection].getComponent("inventory")?.container;
const remainder = destContainer.addItem(itemStack);

const equip = player.getComponent("equippable");
const equipSlot = equip.getEquipmentSlot("Mainhand");

equipSlot.setItem(remainder);```

Who is player defined as?

Who is equip defined as?

[neon thunder]

From the event

[distant gulch]

What event?

[neon thunder]

PlayerInteractWithEntity before

[distant gulch]

Show me how your setting that up

[dim tusk]

const inventory = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
inventory.addItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick', 1));

const equip = player.getComponent('equippable');
equip.setEquipment('Mainhand', new ItemStack('minecraft:stick', 1));```

[distant gulch]

addItem is slot then itemStack

[neon thunder]

I can't send the whole event handler

[distant gulch]

event.cancel = true;

Why are we canceling it?

[neon thunder]

so I can present forms instead of showing the entity inventory

[dim tusk]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_15_0.Container.html#addItem

[dim tusk]

Add item don't have a slot tho.

[distant gulch]

dont know why anyone would use addItem when you can just scan the inventory for a empty slot and then use setSlot

[neon thunder]

No, it finds one and returns the remainder if it can't find a slot

Because I'm "giving" an item to an entity who is then transferring it to another entity

[distant gulch]

What?

thats not what your code does

[neon thunder]

Sorry if I sound less than cordial, I'm very busy trying to write code and just prefer getting to the point

Sure it is

It does what I want now

[distant gulch]

I dont even think you understand this... You should be using js player.getComponent('minecraft:inventory').container See if they have a open slot, and if not just cancel anything more from happening

[neon thunder]

I'm not giving the item to the player - its going to an entity

the items is coming from the player via the interact entity to yet a third party

[distant gulch]

"items is coming from the player"

Item or items?

[neon thunder]

stack

I was trying singular items instead of whole stacks but got over it as it wasn't working

[distant gulch]

if the entity has something in their mainhand, then you want the item to be given back?

[dim tusk]

This part confuses me a lot.

const equip = player.getComponent("equippable");
const equipslot = equip.getEquipmentSlot("Mainhand");
equipslot.setItem(remainder);```

[neon thunder]

No, I want it to go to a third party

[distant gulch]

WHAT?

What does third party mean

https://tenor.com/view/rookie-numbers-the-wolf-of-wall-street-matthew-mc-conaughey-gesture-gif-15457932

[neon thunder]

Niether of yourself nor the person you're talking to

[distant gulch]

😭

[neon thunder]

But an entity you select

Its a mailer system... sigh

[distant gulch]

Try drawing out what your trying to do, I dont understand what your saying

[dim tusk]

I'm gonna rethink my life choices first

Then read your script

[neon thunder]

Each player gets a djinn assigned to them and then you can post items to other players via them

[distant gulch]

                        let djinn = player.dimension.getEntities({ type: "mewp:maildjinn" });

                        for (let i = 0; i < djinn.length; i++) {
                            const ownerId = djinn[i].getDynamicProperty("mewp:ownerId");

                            if (ownerId == player.id) {
                                djinn.splice(i, 1);
                                break;
                            }
                        }

                        for (let i = 0; i < djinn.length; i++) {
                            let ownerName = djinn[i].getDynamicProperty("mewp:ownerName");

                            if (ownerName == undefined) {
                                ownerName = "<error>";
                            }

                            playersUI.button(ownerName);
                        }``` so from here?

Ok, so they click on a other player?

And then they get this menu

and in this menu they click on a animal to send somthing to?

[neon thunder]

They interact with their djinn and can send the item they are holding to another player's djinn

Or, interact with no item and see the items you've been sent

[distant gulch]

So what part of the code is not working?

[neon thunder]

It is working now....

[distant gulch]

ok

[neon thunder]

I'm quite happy... Hopefully I can also make memo items

[distant gulch]

Let’s hope

[neon thunder]

I think its quite clever.. I see it all the time, people wanting a mail system in their worlds... Now I have one

Although, you can't send items inter-dimensionally since it can't find the destination djinn if they aren't in the same dimension as you

I could maybe fix it...

[sage portal]

Is there an actual approach to detecting what a player changes their mainhand item to, or do we just have to use system.intervals for that?

[dim tusk]

You need to use runtInterval

[sage portal]

What a shame 😔

[distant gulch]

can i find entity using location?

[neon thunder]

depends how you want to find it - Dimension.getEntitiesAtBlockLocation?

Umm.. With System.runInterval, is there an issue passing data to the callback? How do I tell it about things? I can just take data from consts declared outside the call???

do the jobs persist between server restarts?

[neon thunder]

Is there semaphores or blocking in javascript?

Do I need to use them?

It feels really strange running this job without them

[slow walrus]

huh?

js is single threaded if I'm understanding your question correctly

so no semaphores

really have no idea wtf those even are so I hope wikipedia's definition is right

[slow walrus]

what are you doing in the runJob?

[slow walrus]

yeah you can just access variables in the scope above the callback

[slow walrus]

no, the entire javascript engine restarts so if you want to save any variables etc you gotta serialize them to a dynamic property or some other storage medium

[neon thunder]

got it

[neon thunder]

How can I replace a block with nothing? I am trying Block.setType("minecraft:air") but this doesn't seem to be working? It might be another issue though...

[dim tusk]

that should work tho.

idk whats your problem

[distant tulip]

send your code or any error you are facing

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    const block = player.getBlockFromViewDirection({maxDistance: 6})?.block
    block.setType('minecraft:air')
  }
});```

yeah i just use this to test if it worked lmfao

[neon thunder]

oh dear

[neon thunder]

The block location was being changed by a reference

[dim tusk]

Then send your code... Ane make sure to get the block first before setting

[neon thunder]

Oh, I've moved on from that simple test.. But I'll show you the code now just 'cause you asked... ```js
function tickerTick() {
for (let i = 0; i < mewp_tickerdata.length; i++) {
const dimension = world.getDimension(mewp_tickerdata[i].dimension);
const block = dimension.getBlock(mewp_tickerdata[i].location);

    world.sendMessage(`Testing ticker ${i}`);
    if (block != undefined) {
        const power = block.getRedstonePower();

        if (power != undefined && power > 0) {
            for (let j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
                const y = mewp_tickerdata[i].location.y + (5 - j);

                for (let k = 0; k < 11; k++) {
                    const loc = { x: mewp_tickerdata[i].location.x + k, y: y, z: mewp_tickerdata[i].location.z };
                    const plot = dimension.getBlock(loc);

                    if ((k + mewp_tickerpos) >= 20 || mewp_tickerstrs[j].charAt(k + mewp_tickerpos) == ' ') {
                        plot.setType("minecraft:black_concrete");
                    }
                    else {
                        plot.setType("minecraft:sea_lantern");
                    }
                }
            }

            mewp_tickerpos += 1;

            if (mewp_tickerpos >= 20) {
                mewp_tickerpos = 0;
            }
        }
    }
}

}```

The next steps are to try to implement a directional input control and then.. then... snake challenge duo!

[dim tusk]

What part you need to set it into air?

[neon thunder]

I stopped doing it. I was using redstone lanterns and redstone blocks to make the glowing "pixels" but there was lag in them turning on and off which caused display glitches I couldnt' live with so I changed it to sea lanterns and black concrete

I was only doing it the way I did initially because that's how I was having to do it with pistons and command blocks but now I have script.. wee hee

I have a small (1.6MB) video showing the result if anyone wants to see and I'm allowed to post it

[subtle cove]

Kindly create a ppst for it for further discussion

[neon thunder]

Oh whoops. I thought I had done, sorry

Ig this is the post...

[neon thunder]

Guys, I am trying to lock a player in place while reading the input via getVelocity... In order to do that, I'm teleporting them in place all the time (runInterval) because using the inputPermissions prevents any reading of the user input. However, I need to provide the TeleportOptions because I want the view to be freely movable and I cannot calculate a facingLocation. How do I calculate something that teleport will be happy with to keep them in place and looking at relatively what they were. Here is the code I have now: ```js
const viewdir = mewp_inputplayer.getViewDirection();
const headloc = mewp_inputplayer.getHeadLocation();
const facedir = { x: headloc.x + viewdir.x, y: headloc.y + viewdir.y, z: headloc.z + viewdir.z }

        mewp_inputplayer.teleport(mewp_inputlocation, { facingLocation: facedir, rotation: mewp_inputplayer.getRotation() });

[junior hill]

does anyone know how to list the specfic scoreboard of the player in MessageFormData buttons?

[knotty plaza]

Maybe set the movement value to 0.001?

Never tried that so idk if it would work

[little orchid]

You could use the new input APIs.

[wheat condor]

values() {
        if (!this.#validNamespace) return this.#MESSAGE.ERROR_INVALID_NAME(this.#settings.namespace);
        const allIds = world.getDynamicPropertyIds()
        const values = []
        const get = (key) => this.get(key)
        const filtered = allIds.filter(id => id.startsWith(this.#settings.namespace + ":"))
        system.runJob((function* ids() {
            for (let i = 0; i < filtered.length; i++) {
                values.push(get(filtered[i]));
                yield
            }
        })())
        return values;
    }

does runjob work without async (ignore the other code)

if its into a function in a class

[junior hill]

const topEntityLocation = {
            x: block.location.x + 0.5,
            y: block.location.y + 1,
            z: block.location.z + 0.5
        };
        const rotation1 = { x: 45, y: 0 };
        const topEntity = world.getDimension("overworld").spawnEntity("swmc:door_entity", topEntityLocation);
        topEntity.setRotation(rotation1);

why does setRotation wont work with alr inputed rotations?

it works with cardinal_directions of blocks

but not with const

[cold grove]

Thats not the problem i think

try Y

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

[junior hill]

rip me, i just read that x rotation doesnt rotate

it tilts the head

[cold grove]

Yeah

[junior hill]

is there another way?

or just setRotation

[cold grove]

Y

[junior hill]

y doesnt work for me

y just rotates its around, i need a sideways

[dim tusk]

There's only two rot... Up, down and left, right

[dim tusk]

That's kinda easy.

[junior hill]

i figured it out

[junior hill]

and all of those on the y?

[dim tusk]

X and y

[crude bridge]

Is it possible to create a new command? Like /(command)

[dim tusk]

No.

[junior hill]

When i try 45 degrees for my x distance it doesnt do anything?

Anyway to fix?

Or to do ?

[dense sun]

hey, how can i set armor durability ?

const equipInv = hitEntity.getComponent("equippable").getEquipment("Chest").damage
            console.error("test :", `${equipInv}`)

[dim tusk]

const rot = player.getRotation();
console.error(`x: ${rot.x}, y: ${rot.y}`)```

Check it using this

[dim tusk]

You need to get the durability component first

const equipInv = hitEntity.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Chest');
const durab = equipvInv.getComponent('durability').damage;```

[steep hamlet]

how do i check if an entity is alive?

neither isValid() or entity !== undefined worked for me :/

[distant gulch]

How do i get players around a particular entity?

[thorn flicker]

get the entity's health component and the currentValue property and check if its greater than 0

[thorn flicker]

world.getPlayers({maxDistance: 5, location: entity.location})

how would i set a light block with the light level of 2? preferably using setBlockType?

[thorn flicker]

it was flattened and doesnt use states anymore, so just do setType('minecraft:light_block_2')

ah i see, thanks

I was asking for ik there is a easy way to do this with commands but i wanna move away from them lol

[shy leaf]

oh yeah definitely not with commands

export function summonPower(player, powerId, eventId, name, offset, test) {

  common(location);
  function common(location) {

    if (power && eventId != null) {
      power.triggerEvent(eventId);
    }
  }
}

const power is as if it didn't exist

[knotty plaza]

Bc setRotation returns nothing, try doing power.setRotation() after creating the variable

[winter plaza]

I did this, but it summons and has a 1 second delay to set the rotation, I want the rotation to be activated as soon as it is summoned

[warm mason]

beta-API !!!

dimension.spawnEntity("zombie", location, {
  initialRotation: rotation // Int
})

[winter plaza]

no

beta no!!

[warm mason]

?

hmmm

Well then you can spawn the entity with the command

There are no other options

[winter plaza]

as?

[warm mason]

I don’t remember exactly how this is spelled in the command, but it seems something like this.

dimension.runCommandAsync("summon pig [loc: x] [loc: y] [loc: z] [rot: x] [rot: y]")

[winter plaza]

the question is that I want to make a mob be summoned in front of the player but the rotation doesn't matter, another thing is that it has to be only in the y rotation, since if I look up, will not spawn above, only in front

I don't think it's possible with a command

[warm mason]

Didn't understand. Explain again

[thorn flicker]

he just wants the mob to spawn infront of him.

but ignore vertical

[winter plaza]

summon an entity in front of me, regardless of the x rotation, but ignoring the y coordinate

dimension.runCommandAsync("summon pig [loc: x] 0 [loc: z] [rot: x] [rot: y]")

[warm mason]

I still don't understand what it should look like. The mob should spawn in front of him but at his height?

[thorn flicker]

I understand.

[winter plaza]

but like this, it wouldn't spawn in front of me, if I put 4 in z

[winter plaza]

yes

at my height, not at the height of my vision

[warm mason]

Now I understand.

[thorn flicker]

so you need to get the player's view direction and do some math.

also dont use commands, use the native method

dimension.spawnEntity('minecraft:pig', vector3)

[winter plaza]

ok

[warm mason]

let view = player.getViewDirection()
let entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity("pig", {
  x: player.location.x + view.x*5, // 5 - distance
  y: player.location.y,
  z: player.location.z + view.z*5
})

[warm mason]

It would be possible to use a function to get the distance so that even if the player looks almost perfectly upward, the pig spawns at a distance of 5 blocks

[winter plaza]

ok, But the issue is that it is born in the same direction that I am looking, what do I do?

[thorn flicker]

isnt that what you wanted

[warm mason]

So that's what you need, no? Where should it appear?

[winter plaza]

dimension.runCommandAsync(`summon pig ${player.location.x + view.x*5} 0 ${player.location.z + view.z*5} [rot: x] [rot: y]`);

[warm mason]

...

[thorn flicker]

..

why are you using the command still

[warm mason]

:)

[warm mason]

.

[thorn flicker]

also you are not inserting the values in the strings

[winter plaza]

Why in the command to set the rotation

[warm mason]

Why do you set the height to 0?

[thorn flicker]

to use template literals correctly you need to use backticks to form your string, not double quotes or single quotes

[warm mason]

use this

[thorn flicker]

✌️

[winter plaza]

and the rotation?

:/

[warm mason]

rotation of the entity or where will it appear?

Once again, describe in detail and in simple text what you need.

[winter plaza]

When it is spawned, it has to be facing the same direction as the player who summoned it is facing.

let view = player.getViewDirection()
let entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity("pig", {
  x: player.location.x + view.x*5, // 5 - distance
  y: player.location.y,
  z: player.location.z + view.z*5
});
entity.setRotation({x: 0, y: player.getRotation().y});

If I do it like this, it has a 1 second delay to be rotated

I don't want delay

[warm mason]

dimension.runCommandAsync(`summon armor_stand ${player.location.x + view.x*5} ${player.location.y} ${player.location.z + view.z*5} ${player.getRotation().x} ${player.getRotation().y}`);

[winter plaza]

VoidVcell said not to use command lol

[warm mason]

Because we didn't understand you

[winter plaza]

Ah ok

So I use the command anyway?

[thorn flicker]

in preview

there's a way to set the initial rotation when spawning a mob with the native method

[warm mason]

.

[thorn flicker]

mb

didnt see that

lol

[winter plaza]

lol

[warm mason]

Lots of "lol"

[winter plaza]

You English speakers are funny

[thorn flicker]

lol

[warm mason]

Did you mean to say: "You, half speaking through a translator"?))

[winter plaza]

thank you guys

no

I'm Brazilian, and I know a little English.

[thorn flicker]

we sure are

[warm mason]

If you don't speak through a translator, then you know English clearly better than me

[winter plaza]

I know little, sometimes I use a translator

There are words I don't know

and sentences that I don't know how to put together

[thorn flicker]

English is also a confusing language

[warm mason]

However, it is quite easy to learn

[winter plaza]

yes yes

[neat hazel]

How do I detect fatal damage to my entity?
I want to execute a command if my entity receives fatal damage

[warm mason]

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(data => {
  let entity = data.deadEntity
  entity.runCommandAsync("say I died")
})

[neat hazel]

Thnk

[clear pendant]

did microsoft say something about custom keybinds?

or if there will even be the ability to add them?

[thorn flicker]

there's input apis in preview but its only for sneaking and jumping rn

[clear pendant]

oh, f

[distant tulip]

no?
there is almost all the inputs

[thorn flicker]

show me where you are finding this information

because this is all we have rn

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.17.0-beta.1.21.50-preview.28/enums/InputButton.html

[clear pendant]

how do you use oreUI?

[thorn flicker]

this is not what I was talking about, or what he wanted

[thorn flicker]

you cannot, its not released.

[clear pendant]

i see some ppl using it tho

[thorn flicker]

ask them then

[clear pendant]

yeah, i wanted to register custom inputs

[thorn flicker]

you cannot set custom keybinds yet

[clear pendant]

yeah, that's what i tought

[distant tulip]

like what?

[clear pendant]

keybinds?

[thorn flicker]

im assuming he means like, press K and it does something

[clear pendant]

and buttons for mobile

yep

[thorn flicker]

you cannot

[distant tulip]

only WASD jump and sneak

[thorn flicker]

lol

thats cool

[clear pendant]

i wanted to use custom inputs to control my plane lol

i'll need to be creative then

can you prevent the player from leaving the seat when he presses shift?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

Yeah

[clear pendant]

how?

[thorn flicker]

.

[distant tulip]

give me a sec

player.inputPermissions.setPermissionCategory(8,false)
@clear pendant

[clear pendant]

thx

[dim tusk]

Fuck, I want it now

I want to do cctv camera for so long that you can control now you can do it... Is sick asf

I know it's preview but bruh

[distant tulip]

yeah
lets hope it get released soon

[dull shell]

how would I go about having my block run a function when interacted? unless you still can via json?

[rapid sail]

a script to get matching blocks in a certain area?

[dull shell]

hm?

I just want a command to run when I interact with my block

but the on_interact doesnt work anymore

[rapid sail]

are you using CC?

custom compoments?

[thorn flicker]

check out this.
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-events.html

[dull shell]

thank you

[rapid sail]

did i set this up void?

[thorn flicker]

why is there a random true in there

what is area_0?

and the 3 if statements above, you could simplify that.

[rapid sail]

those are for different outcomes

area 1 is simplified as i used to do if (block.dimension.getBlock({ x: 0, y: -60, z: 0 }).typeId === "glowstone" && block.dimension.getBlock({ x: 0, y: -60, z: 0 }).typeId === "glowstone"

thats just an example

the true is there because i thought it wouldnt cause it to run even thought the blocks arent there

[simple arch]

will anybody help me with this issue with my code. please I can't find the solution to it.

[dim tusk]

Dude can you give the scripts you used? I wanna try in mine...

[distant tulip]

system.runInterval(() => {
world.getPlayers().forEach((player) => {
const vel = player.inputInfo.getMovementVector()
const armorStand = player.dimension.getEntities({type:"minecraft:armor_stand"})[0]
armorStand.applyImpulse({x:vel.x/4,y:0,z:vel.y/4})
})
})

[woven loom]

What is MV Vec

[scarlet hemlock]

Guys, is there a way to change a written book title?

[dim tusk]

Why you dividing the value by 4?

[distant tulip]

impulse of 1 is too fast

[distant tulip]

you are referring to getMovementVector?

[distant tulip]

no

[scarlet hemlock]

Ok. What about using some NBT editor?

[woven loom]

yes

[distant tulip]

normalized xy vector for the player input for example
forward: {x:1,y:0}
backward {x:-1,y:0}
right {x:0,y:1}
left {x:0,y:-1}
and so on
it is in preview

[distant tulip]

probably?

[shy leaf]

found a uuidv4 generator for javascript in internet after finding out uuidgenerator.net is horribly slow

[scarlet hemlock]

I have a book inside a saved structure. Do you know where can I find those files?

[woven loom]

hmm, better than checking the velocity

[distant tulip]

yeah
the best thing is you can read that while player input permission is disabled

[woven loom]

crypto.randomUUID() best

[distant tulip]

no idea sorry
didn't play with nbt for a long time

[shy leaf]

meeeh i cant do npm cuz i use standalone code editor

[scarlet hemlock]

don't worry

[woven loom]

What, wow that's cool

[dim tusk]

Can't you make a function?

[shy leaf]

yeah but

i just went out for existing one cuz im lazy

[dim tusk]

Ohh it returns 1 and 0

[dim tusk]

Bro it's so freaking easy 😭😭

[shy leaf]

im lazy thats all

[granite badger]

is this documented on mslearn

[distant tulip]

0 to 1
i said normalized
moving forward and left for example

[distant tulip]

no idea
i just tested that out

[dim tusk]

Ohh that's what you mean... Kk I got it

[granite badger]

mind if i add this info to docs

[dim tusk]

Easy to understand...

[woven loom]

let fu = () => '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'.replaceAll( '0', v => Math.floor(Math.random()*16).toString(16) );

[distant tulip]

sure

[shy leaf]

that

is that uuidv4?

[woven loom]

nah pseudo

[dim tusk]

Yooo.... Can't wait to see Minato's name into the docs

[shy leaf]

o

[distant tulip]

uuid do have a pattern if i am not wrong?

[shy leaf]

just a pseudo

[woven loom]

game doesnt check that so its fine

[distant tulip]

yeah

[shy leaf]

it doesnt?

[woven loom]

nah

[shy leaf]

[dim tusk]

Lemme check my scripts files if I have my old uuid generator

[distant tulip]

that for the best tbh
i used to use the same uuid and change it just a bit

[dim tusk]

Found it.

function uuidv4() {
    return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
        const r = (Math.random() * 16) | 0;
        const v = c === 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3) | 0x8;
        return v.toString(16);
    });
}

[woven loom]

Logically it doesn't make any sense to validate if the pack uses the actual uuid4 or not, from the game's pov

[dim tusk]

I have done it since 1.20

[woven loom]

All they need is an id system

[shy leaf]

hey

we are using the same one

[distant tulip]

why the pattern is needed anyway
it just limit the possibility

[dim tusk]

I mean the structures are the same probably?

It's old soo idk

[woven loom]

bruh quickedit has crypto

just use that

[shy leaf]

uh

its quickedit

wait

it does?

[woven loom]

ye

[shy leaf]

it never said abt it anywehre in the app wtf

[woven loom]

They use ext lib for js runtime, and if you see their doc, it has ut

[dim tusk]

For God sake guys, I don't do commissions.. my DMS are full of that

Ohh my god

Guys how do I disable my DMS or some shii

[woven loom]

lucky you

[dim tusk]

How is that lucky 😭😭

[distant tulip]

mine is full for help questions or free work lol

[shy leaf]

wait where is the doc

[dim tusk]

Free work nah? Paid work nah? But I will help you but not 100% of it

Learn to do it 😄

[woven loom]

you can search 'Eruda' on google

[shy leaf]

oh that one

ty

[woven loom]

@shy leaf

[shy leaf]

ooohhhhhh

stupid me i was trying to run it on editor side

[distant tulip]

i ignore most of of them
i can help in a server where i can be corrected if i am wrong about something, DM just limit the help you are getting to one guy

[dim tusk]

You fr²

[woven loom]

Which version includes this?

i have 50.26

[dim tusk]

Its 1.20.50 which is 1.17 in scripts

If im correct lmao

[distant tulip]

50.25+ i thing

it is

[woven loom]

Thanks

[distant tulip]

ur wlc

[woven loom]

That behaviour is intended? where it works even in the disabled state

[distant tulip]

yeah it was not that way before

[chilly fractal]

Yo is there a way to get item rarity in scripts?

Like an ender dragon egg would be epic rarity as you can see it having the colorcode "§d", and something that's common would be of no rarity so white, yellow for uncommon, and blue for rare, and magenta for epic. You can see this in-game by grabbing a trident from the creative menu it's rare, then you add a Enchantment to it, it becomes epic.

I don't think there is anyway, so basically I'll have to map everything. But I just wanna know if there is a component or something

[warm mason]

no

[chilly fractal]

Good to know.

Sad but it's at least good to make you focus on what you are doing.

[dim tusk]

Guys how do I get the center of two points?

[warm mason]

function getCenter(loc1, loc2) {
  return {
    x: (loc1.x + loc2.x)/2,
    y: (loc1.y + loc2.y)/2,
    z: (loc1.z + loc2.z)/2
  }
}

[dim tusk]

I did that but it doesn't work properly

[warm mason]

So you messed something up somewhere

[dim tusk]

Nahh I don't think soo.. look

The armor stand should be in the middle but nah

[warm mason]

code

[warm mason]

in any case, the entered values ​​are 100% incorrect

And here you don’t even need the center function.

[dim tusk]

first time it didn't work cause usually it does idk why

[distant tulip]

why not use get entity options?

[dim tusk]

It's just a test that's not a permanent thing lmao

[distant tulip]

dose the entity get teleported?

[warm mason]

You chose the wrong points

[dim tusk]

huh?

[dim tusk]

yeah

[warm mason]

Well, according to the code everything is correct

[distant tulip]

can you log the tow pos and the tp location?

[dim tusk]

thn what? why the hell you said you chose the wrong points?

[warm mason]

Because you chose points 1 and 2 as the same, or changed them somewhere

If you stood exactly in the middle of two blocks, then everything would be correct

[dim tusk]

bruh i ai'nt getting what you are saying no matter what how many times you change the loc of those two points it should properly say the center of it

[dim tusk]

huh?

[warm mason]

Well, you chose the points wrong. That's it. When you clicked on "set pos" you selected them so that the center is not in the center of the blocks, but in the center of 1 of the blocks

[distant tulip]

uhm?
-# console.log(JSON.stringify(pos1[player.id]),JSON.stringify(pos2[player.id]),)

[dim tusk]

thank you. can't you just say it in the first place.

[warm mason]

I tried to tell you this 3 times

[dim tusk]

you're confusing ash :(

[dim tusk]

i already show the lcoation in the actionbar

[distant tulip]

hmm
get the armor stand position and check if it is the same

[dim tusk]

yeah, i tried to tp myself too and it's on there.

as what serty said, it's getting the center of 1 block only

[distant tulip]

it should be right

[dim tusk]

i fixed it.

my smoll brain

[distant tulip]

lol

[dim tusk]

the 0.5 did matter lmfao

[distant tulip]

i have no idea what are you talking about lol

[dim tusk]

const xCenter = (pos1[player.id].x + pos2[player.id].x) / 2 + 0.5;
const yCenter = (pos1[player.id].y + pos2[player.id].y) / 2 + 0.5;
const zCenter = (pos1[player.id].z + pos2[player.id].z) / 2 + 0.5;```

here. it gets the center of the two location

[warm mason]

No, it's an offset center

[distant tulip]

yeah

[dim tusk]

mb, i am shit in explaining things, that's why my english is my lowest grade lmao

[dim tusk]

hmm, i get it

[distant tulip]

get the tow blocks center first then get the center
just add 0.5 to both before the / 2

[dim tusk]

yeah i have smol brain that i forgot that 0.5 can be a center

same in doing execute as @p at @s align xyz run tp @s ~0.5 ~0.5 ~0.5

[remote oyster]

It's v4.

[dim tusk]

yo that's sick.

stealing it

[remote oyster]

Have at it.

[neat hound]

Is there a way for a system.runInterval (() =>{})to reference it's own job ref (in order to cancel/stop itself?)

[subtle cove]

without

const runId = system.runInterval(()=>{})
```?

[neat hound]

yes.

[warm mason]

Well, you can make your own runInterval

[neat hound]

I will be starting a job for each player upon spawn, but don't want to make a job keeper... I need it to stop running when the player leaves.

if player is not valid, cancel

[warm mason]

For example this:

runInterval(func, delay) {
  let interval = new class {
    constructor() {
      this.loop = 0
    }
    stop() {
      system.clearRun(this.id)
    }
  }
  interval.id = system.runInterval(() => {
    func(interval)
    interval.loop++
  }, delay)
}

[neat hound]

I feel like I stepped into advanced JS.. I am not sure how to turn ```JS
/**
*

• @param {Player} player
  */
  export function playerCounterJob (player) {
  system.runInterval(() => {
  //add stopping mechanism here
  DynamicPropertyLib.add(player, dynamicVars.aliveTicks, TicksPerSecond);
  }, TicksPerSecond);
  }``` into that. What am I passing to runInterval?

[warm mason]

Didn't understand the question

[neat hound]

I do not know how to use these parts..

[wary edge]

Curious, why dont you want to use const blah to store the jobID?

[subtle cove]

uhh, shouldn't that be

DynamicPropertyLib.add(
  player,
  dynamicVars.aliveTicks,
  TicksPerSecond,
  system.runInterval(()=>{
    player.isValid()
  })
)

[warm mason]

If you use my code. Then you need to write something like this:

runInterval((interval => {
  if (bla bla bla) interval.stop()
}),1)

[wary edge]

I personally would store the jobID in a dynamic property and before player leave grab the property and stop the job.

[neat hound]

Each player would have a job running.. so all staggered based on when they spawned in, instead of one job running all players every 1s. But it needs to cancel itself if they are not valid anymore

[warm mason]

And there is also a loop property. So you can write something like this so that it runs 10 times:

runInterval((interval => {
  if (interval.loop >= 10) interval.stop()
}), 1)

[neat hound]

If a player Alt-F4 quits.. job never cancels

[misty pivot]

which is better to store a temporary data in a player? player.test = true or dynamicProperties?

[subtle cove]

thats while world is running "temporary"

[misty pivot]

what? 😭

[subtle cove]

that also works

search for cacheing methods

[neat hound]

That is not a parameter in that class method... JS /** * * @param {Entity} entity * @param {string} propertyName * @param {number} [qty=0] */ static add (entity, propertyName, qty = 0) { if (entity.isValid()) { const currentQty = DynamicPropertyLib.getNumber(entity, propertyName); entity.setDynamicProperty(propertyName, currentQty + qty); } }

[misty pivot]

i see, alrighty

[neat hound]

Imma see if this works....JS export function playerCounterJob (player) { const thisJob = system.runInterval(() => { if (player.isValid()) DynamicPropertyLib.add(player, dynamicVars.aliveTicks, TicksPerSecond); else { //cancel this job system.clearRun(thisJob); } }, TicksPerSecond); }

[warm mason]

How to understand this?

[remote oyster]

Just pinging you with a made up logic to demonstrate runInterval() assignments. In case it helps.

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

let playerIntervals = {};

// Function to create and assign an interval to a player
function createIntervalForPlayer(playerId) {
    // Only create a new interval if it doesn't already exist for this player
    if (playerIntervals[playerId]) return;

    let runId = system.runInterval(() => {
        let player = world.getEntity(playerId);
        if (player) {
            // Perform player-specific actions, e.g., logging every second
            console.log(`Interval running for player with ID: ${playerId}`);
        } else {
            // If the player is no longer in the world, clear the interval
            system.clearRun(runId);
            delete playerIntervals[playerId];
        }
    }, 20); // 20 ticks = 1 second

    // Store the player's interval run ID
    playerIntervals[playerId] = runId;
    console.log(`Interval assigned to player ${playerId}`);
}

// Player join event handling
world.afterEvents.playerJoin.subscribe((eventData) => {
    let playerId = eventData.playerId;  // Retrieve player ID from the event data
    
    // Assign an interval to the player only if it's not already assigned
    createIntervalForPlayer(playerId);
});

// Player leave event handling (before the player leaves)
world.afterEvents.playerLeave.subscribe((eventData) => {
    let playerId = eventData.playerId;  // Retrieve player ID from the event data

    // If the player has an interval running, we stop it and remove it from the list
    if (playerIntervals[playerId]) {
        system.clearRun(playerIntervals[playerId]);
        delete playerIntervals[playerId];
        console.log(`Interval stopped for player ${playerId}`);
    }
});

[neat hound]

That is helpful, thank you. I figured I may have to have something on the outside tracking the jobs. Also, may need a 1-5 min cleanup. Not sure if events for leaving run if a hard-exit is done on the game.

LOL, gonna be a bitch to test... single player on PC....

[remote oyster]

Haha

[neat hound]

Maybe the console log can still show

[remote oyster]

You could create a simulated player.

[sharp elbow]

If a hard exit occurs, you probably won't need to care about it since the game's state may not have saved

[neat hound]

that is when on single player, but this will be for a realm.... and if a player hard exits, game is still running until last player leaves

[sharp elbow]

True. Might get finicky if the player fails to send a Disconnect packet then

[neat hound]

is the player sending the packet, or is the world handling it?

[remote oyster]

I'm pretty confident when a player leaves the event is triggered. At least, I see the results on BDS when looking at the console lol.

Hard exit that is.

[sharp elbow]

Technically the client does. When the user disconnects from a server normally the client is supposed to tell the server its intentions. If the game crashes and that packet isn't sent, then the only way the server knows if the client is gone is by waiting for its requests to time out

[remote oyster]

Whether data is saved, corrupted, or lost is another topic 🧐

[sharp elbow]

That's my assumption anyway. Bedrock could be operating on a different communication model though

[neat hound]

Seems like the player leave after event, is just playerId and name also... I am thinking this is on world level, and not player

where as before event is player object

[remote oyster]

Correct, because they still exist.

[neat hound]

like with join

[subtle cove]

hence entity.isValid() eh...

[neat hound]

yes, but that is on the player object... but if the leave after event, does not have the object ( because player is gone-gone), then maybe it is the world object handling that event

[sharp elbow]

I see all events as being handled by the "world," or the scripting engine. It then polls whatever data is relevant to act upon in that event

[warm mason]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(data => {
  if (!data.initialSpawn) return
  let player = data.player
  let interval = system.runInterval(() => {
    if (!player.isValid()) return system.clearRun(interval)
  })
})

[sharp elbow]

I figured one could directly use the handler in the clearRun method, yeah. Might behave weirdly if the interval is 0, but I assume the engine would at least finish the assignment before executing the next loop

[warm mason]

And also beforeEvents.playerJoin, and its afterEvents version returns only the player’s name

[neat hound]

and id

[warm mason]

Still his code is not correct

And long

[remote oyster]

Explain

[warm mason]

@remote oyster

not that

[gentle mist]

Hii can someone help me? Want create a duel system 😭

[neat hound]

All I see is he used the player object in the before join... so changed to eventData.playerId.. gonna test it out as is with that one change.

[remote oyster]

playerSpawn is a preference not a requirement in this instance.

[warm mason]

world.beforeEvents.playerJoin does not exist

[warm mason]

Is it more convenient to get the player's name and search for it?

[distant tulip]

we don't help with general questions like that.
start making it and post any question that you have

[remote oyster]

Ah crap lol, my bad. I mixed myself up with the other event.

[gentle mist]

Okay thx i alr did it

[distant tulip]

so? what is the problem

[gentle mist]

Nothing huh

I just asked

[distant tulip]

bruh

[neat hound]

the after event will work.. to me, it is like the before event for player-spawn( which does not exist either) - but only for initial spawn

I will alter accordingly to test

[subtle cove]

that actually reminds of this thing i used to play with

[warm mason]

What is this

[subtle cove]

some kind of player initializer, dunno can't remember

[remote oyster]

I edited it to use afterEvents for player join and player leave. Either way, it's just an example on the logic. How it's coded doesn't really matter to me. It's understanding how it works which is the point in this discussion 😁

[subtle cove]

was tryna make a custom getPlayers

[warm mason]

Large code that does not clear what

[subtle cove]

all objects are linked

well most of em

[warm mason]

Won't work

the playerJoin event fires

before the player spawns.

So getEntity(playerId) will return undefined and the interval will end immediately

[remote oyster]

How so? It returns the object.

[warm mason]

Use playerSpawn

[unique acorn]

since block.setDynamicProperty isnt a thing, anyone know another way?

[remote oyster]

Making it bold doesn't explain it. If the event returns the object then the object is retrievable, so how would world.getEntity() return undefined?
@serty.name

[warm mason]

playerJoin runs BEFORE the player spawns.

[subtle cove]

use the block's location as property key

as well as dimension.id

[remote oyster]

Making it bold doesn't explain it. If the event returns the object then the object is retrievable, so how would world.getEntity() return undefined?

[warm mason]

Because playerJoin and playerSpawn are different things. playerJoin - the player is connected to the server playerSpawn - the player has spawned. Until the player spawns, he is not on the list, so you are trying to get the player, too early

[sharp elbow]

Here's an example. EDIT: more generalized.

function objectToString(obj) {
  return `${obj.dimension}_${obj.location.x}_${obj.location.y}_${obj.location.z}`;
}

[remote oyster]

If the player hasn't spawned then explain the object?

[unique acorn]

alr thanks

[remote oyster]

Spawn or not, the object is there.

[wary edge]

Fun fact, you don't have to call .location since block has a xyz property as well.

[sharp elbow]

I know.

[remote oyster]

.... Entity would be the object. The event returns the object.

Am I on repeat?

[warm mason]

Do you see what I highlighted? You understand how documentation works. it returns entity or undefined

[subtle cove]

meanwhile me abt to test

[warm mason]

undefined it returns when the entity is in the world.

[wary edge]

What is the argument right now?

[remote oyster]

If the object didn't exist, as you claim, then how would the object be retrievable in the playerJoin event "because they haven't spawned yet"?

[warm mason]

Let me explain in detail

[wary edge]

As far as I know, playerJoin retrieves the player object.

[remote oyster]

Exactly

[warm mason]

Where?

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

[subtle cove]

it does retrieve the player in playerJoin

[warm mason]

There is not

[subtle cove]

using the id

[warm mason]

because it shouldn't be

because that's what playerSpawn is for

[subtle cove]

maybe mojang made changes on it

it wasnt possible to get the player in that event before

[wary edge]

All I know is that if you do world.getPlayers in playerJoin, the player that joined will be included.

[warm mason]

No. As I said, playerJoin and playerSpawn are different events. join - the player has joined the SERVER. spawn - the player has appeared in the world. There is a difference. So you can't immediately get the player object in playerJoin because it doesn't exist yet.

[remote oyster]

I'm gonna write code to test and verify.

[wary edge]

And yet, world.getPlayers gets me?

[subtle cove]

alr did ;-;

[warm mason]

No

[remote oyster]

Results?

[turbid gulch]

how to detect if player interacted with block on specific coordinates?

[subtle cove]

i used world.getEntity(playerId) and its possible

[warm mason]

I say it again. join - before the player appeared in the world. that is, the player is not yet on the list of players. it's not valid

[remote oyster]

Case closed.

Moving on.

[wary edge]

This was a code I used for a project

world.afterEvents.playerJoin.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const player: Player = world.getEntity(eventData.playerId) as Player;
    player.setDynamicProperty('namespace:property', false);
    console.log('player initialized');
});

And it works.

[warm mason]

are you testing it in a single world?

[wary edge]

You can use either custom components(for custom blocks) or the playerInteract world event.

[neat hound]

okay.. so what is available in the event for player join is only strings whereas the world.getEntity has access to all players, even pre-spawn... is that what we are saying?

[warm mason]

I used this on a server. When you enter the world yourself, playerSpawn and playerJoin are triggered immediately. Because you are the host and you don't need to connect to the server

[warm mason]

we are arguing about the functionality of playerJoin, but why do it at all if playerSpawn immediately returns an object

[warm mason]

@wary edge

[remote oyster]

Basically

[warm mason]

@subtle cove

[remote oyster]

The player exists when they join. I suppose the logical way to view it as one instance the object is valid and the other instance the object is not valid, but the object still exists either way.

[subtle cove]

ye

[remote oyster]

And it seems it's valid either way based on that image lol

[neat hound]

I think Serty is saying this his experience of this on a server (not realm) is different.

[warm mason]

I remember that it doesn't work like that on servers

[subtle cove]

same, but it was long ago

[remote oyster]

The functionality may vary between local, realm, and server. I honestly could believe that behavior to be factual. Would not surprise me at all honestly lol.

[neat hound]

is there anything special you have to do to run scripts on a server.. I have one I can test with, just not tried any scripting add-ons

[subtle cove]

just a pack that uses scripts...

[warm mason]

i would use playerSpawn because there is no need to get the player via getEntity and based on my experience it is better

[subtle cove]

that i agree

[wary edge]

Unfortunately, you would need to track an additional data because if a player dies? Unless I misread the use case.

[warm mason]

Why?

[subtle cove]

hence entity.isValid() ;-;

[warm mason]

as long as the player is valid then the interval is there

[remote oyster]

I love how you press on this lol

[distant tulip]

player is still valid tho

[wary edge]

My interpretation is that they want to do an action if a player joins a world. Wouldn't playerSpawn trigger this event numerous times?

[warm mason]

data.initialSpawn exists

[distant tulip]

dose that leave any use case for player join?

i guess it dose trigger before that, so idk

[wary edge]

If in a single player world you wouldn't need to check for initial spawn. And makes the code readable imo.

[warm mason]

I don't think that 1 line will interfere much. Moreover, it is completely understandable

[distant tulip]

the player don't exist yet when that trigger from what i remember

[wary edge]

Agree to disagree.

[warm mason]

In short... use whatever you want. I'm leaving

[distant tulip]

lol

[neat hound]

guess I need to player to exist as I am altering his dynamic vars

[steady canopy]

yo what happened to WorldBeforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock??

why it now only has an after version

in the last beta

1.16.0-beta

[warm mason]

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

[steady canopy]

I was literally using this event in 1.14.0-beta

[wary edge]

Did you update your types? What version are you using?

[steady canopy]

1.16.0-beta
