Script API General

[unique yoke]

ohhh thanks

[sterile epoch]

how do people get items in ender chest

[unique yoke]

???

[dim tusk]

If you mean check items on the players ender chest? Sadly you can't

I always notice a lot of people do this.

[sterile epoch]

ender chest viewer

[unique yoke]

oh

[unique yoke]

.

[remote oyster]

There is no official API support to do that right now.

[sterile epoch]

but ive seen people do it

[dim tusk]

Then send the addon, name who did it, videos, ss, cause we are saying it already... You can't

[unique yoke]

fr

[remote oyster]

They are not using official API support to accomplish their goals.

[unique yoke]

let me look at the addon

[sterile epoch]

admin utils on mcpedl

[dim tusk]

Nahhh

[sterile epoch]

they have an ender chest viewer

[remote oyster]

They are probably using commands.

[fiery solar]

I just posted a way to do this today #1306719668429389834 message

It's pretty hacky, uses a ton of commands, but it's the best we have unfortunately

[remote oyster]

One day they will introduce a component lol.

[sterile epoch]

Hasitem

[remote oyster]

That involves using commands.

[dim tusk]

I opened the file and it's not an end chest, it's only chest

[dim tusk]

^

[dim tusk]

-# or I suck at finding things lmfao

[sterile epoch]

i know I just guessed the method

I was right it was hasitem

[fiery solar]

I hope so. It would be great to be able to actually get items out of an ender chest. You can kinda do most things with commands, but of course you can't add or remove items that have attached data.

[sterile epoch]

what about replaceitem

oh yeah

attached data

nbt editor in commands like java would go hard

[valid ice]

Ender chest component hopefully soon

[inland merlin]

That cringe face hahaha

[scenic bolt]

is it possible to make it so that on weather change I set an event that changes all of a specific block to change.

For example i’m making clouds that turn into rain clouds when it starts raining

I already have the weather change event, but it does not allow for block

[fallow minnow]

only for server-net? or script api in general

[warm mason]

This has nothing to do with the server-net module

[warm mason]

If you make clouds in blocks, then lags are inevitable. It's better to do them on entities or particles

[valid ice]

It would be general, if it gets added.

[slow walrus]

particles would be best, no need to manage entities, just have a 1 tick particle that gets applied and then switch it out on events

and iirc they're faster to render

[scenic bolt]

It’s not being implemented as your thinking. I’m making cloud blocks you can stand on up in the sky

I’m trying to avoid using onTick

Instead I tried out the weatherChange event, but I don’t have a way using that to set all cloud blocks to rain blocks that I can find

[warm mason]

make the blocks invisible and spawn the necessary particles there

[scenic bolt]

Still does not solve the fact that I can’t get the block

Because I can detect the change in weather yes, but nothing beyond that in the event

[slow walrus]

ah like terraria?

hmm

that is an interesting problem

[scenic bolt]

Yeah, I want to do it my own way though.

I have this idea where there’s structures and stuff high in the clouds, but I want to make it so that the white clouds turn into rain clouds when it starts raining, this is where the issue is

[slow walrus]

you could use onRandomTick

it might look better as well

so they all slowly become rain clouds

[scenic bolt]

I’m doing that now but with onTick, and setting an interval so it happens slowly

The issue is when you multiply that by 100’s of blocks i’m afraid of the consequences

[slow walrus]

I wouldn't set an interval

get the current tick at the start and compare it

it should be a bit faster

[scenic bolt]

The issue is then some clouds would be white for a long while while it’s raining for a minute or so, setting an interval lets that not happen

[slow walrus]

wdym?

that doesn't really make sense

[scenic bolt]

it sets a max limit for how long it’s allowed to stay a white cloud while it’s raining

Otherwise with random tick there’s a chance it does not happen at all right?

[slow walrus]

can you send what you have so far?

make a post actually

[scenic bolt]

I can’t get to my laptop right now, but i’ll give you all the details I can in the post

But I was hoping to avoid ticking in general because of how bad it would get with lots of blocks

[slow walrus]

ah wait I got an idea

how are your blocks being placed?

you could try onPlace and then inside of that subsribing to the weatherChangeEvent

might work, not sure though

would be better than checking every tick

[scenic bolt]

normal block

[slow walrus]

worldgen?

[scenic bolt]

Thought of that, issue is in order for that weather change event to go off, it would need on place to go off first

[scenic bolt]

Well for now it’s placing

[slow walrus]

yeah

wdym

the player puts it down?

[scenic bolt]

Like i’m placing it around now for testing, and eventually i’ll make it a structure

here go to the post I made

[north depot]

afterEvents works with worldInitialize?

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

its the same as beforeEvents?

[slow walrus]

slightly different, only the beforeEvent has the custom component registry

[north depot]

so i cant use it with the custom component?

[slow walrus]

what?

[north depot]

without the custom_component_registry, what can i do with worldInitialize?

[warm mason]

Execute events when the world is launched

[neon thunder]

Heyas. I'm wondering if there is a way to tell if an entity is a player? I'm new to JavaScript so its likely a simple is class of type thing, right?

Is it js if (typeof(entity) == Player)?

or do I need the '===' test?

[quick shoal]

if (entity.typeId === 'minecraft:player')

[neon thunder]

ahh... Okay

[quick shoal]

I always use this way but absolutely this not only way

[neon thunder]

Thank you

[quick shoal]

Is it worked?

[neon thunder]

Oh I haven't got to the part where I need it yet, just planning what I'm going to do and making sure I can

[quick shoal]

Oh

I think it can work

[neon thunder]

I have to re-establish the state of things when the world is initialised, including testing what has happened to entities which may or may not be players

[quick shoal]

Sry I don't fully understand of it

[neon thunder]

I'm building a Ferris Wheel but I need to control how players dismount otherwise they will kill themselves. I need to check the riders of the seat entities to see if they are players or not, in order to know how to do it.

I'm not entirely sure what will happen if you log out while riding and log back in again

Yes, just as I suspected, you will try to log in again in the seat... I wonder what will happen if the seat has changed since then? I guess you'll fall...??

[quick shoal]

Can U send image

[neon thunder]

Oh of what do you mean?

[quick shoal]

The thing U are making

[neon thunder]

ok...

one sec

Here it is

I'm going to build a ferris wheel controller block which will manage 12 ferris seats (which can actually seat 2 entities) and I need to know at all times, what the entites are that are riding it and if they are players or not

Once I establish that its a player, I do not let them have no riding component else I force them back into the seat they were riding

[quick shoal]

Did U alr have the code now

[neon thunder]

I have the prevent dismount code... ```js
if (ferrisSeat == undefined) {
//if (ferrisPlayer) {
//ferrisSeat = ferrisPlayer.dimension.spawnEntity("mewp:ferrisseat", ferrisPlayer.location);
//}
} else {
if (ferrisPlayer) {
const riding = ferrisPlayer.getComponent("minecraft:riding");
if (!riding || !riding.entity) {
if (ferrisDegrees <= 250 || ferrisDegrees >= 290) {
const rideable = ferrisSeat.getComponent("minecraft:rideable");

                rideable?.addRider(ferrisPlayer);
            } else {
                ferrisPlayer = undefined;
            }
        }
    }

But I'm going to need to scan the seats and their riders every "tick" I suspect

[quick shoal]

So what do U want to add rn

I will help if I can

[neon thunder]

I need to scan the seat entities's rideable components for entities and determine if they are players. I think I'm good now that I know how to detect the type of the entity

[quick shoal]

👌

[neon thunder]

And I guess I just give a warning not to log out while riding 😉

[quick shoal]

Why U not force let player can't log out?

[neon thunder]

Oh you can do that??

[quick shoal]

repeat addRide ?

I try it first

Whats the full code

[neon thunder]

for what sorry?

[quick shoal]

Your Ferris wheel code

[neon thunder]

Well its only testing what happens when I try to control a rideable entity at the moment

and moving it around

and preventing dismounts

You need the rideable entity

[quick shoal]

So U are not actually coded yet?

[quick shoal]

The seat have rideable components?

[neon thunder]

sure

You can ride the seat around and around

and dismount only when its at the bottom

here is the function I call every "tick": ```js
let ferrisPlayer = undefined;
let ferrisSeat = undefined;
let ferrisLoc = {};

let ferrisDegrees = 270;

function ferrisTick() {
if (ferrisSeat == undefined) {
} else {
if (ferrisPlayer) {
const riding = ferrisPlayer.getComponent("minecraft:riding");
if (!riding || !riding.entity) {
if (ferrisDegrees <= 250 || ferrisDegrees >= 290) {
const rideable = ferrisSeat.getComponent("minecraft:rideable");

                rideable?.addRider(ferrisPlayer);
            } else {
                ferrisPlayer = undefined;
            }
        }
    }

    const radius = 11;
    const rads = ferrisDegrees * (Math.PI / 180);
    const z = radius * Math.cos(rads);
    const y = radius * Math.sin(rads);

    const loc = { x: ferrisLoc.x, y: ferrisLoc.y + y, z: ferrisLoc.z + z };

    if (Math.trunc(loc.y) == Math.trunc(ferrisSeat.location.y) && Math.trunc(loc.z) == Math.trunc(ferrisSeat.location.z)) {
        //world.sendMessage(`loc x: ${loc.x}, y: ${loc.y}, z: ${loc.z}`);

        ferrisDegrees += 5;
        if (ferrisDegrees > 360) {
            ferrisDegrees -= 360;
        }
    } else {
        ferrisSeat.teleport(loc);
    }
}

}```

and the event to get it going... ```js
world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
const { beforeItemStack, player, target } = event;

world.sendMessage("interact after");

if (target.typeId == "mewp:ferrisseat") {
    ferrisPlayer = player;

    if (!ferrisSeat) {
        ferrisSeat = target;
        ferrisLoc = { x: target.location.x, y: target.location.y + 11, z: target.location.z };
        //ferrisSeat.teleport(ferrisLoc);
    }
}

});

I had to use teleport because trying to apply impulses wasn't working. Maybe its because Ididn't know what I was doing but oh well

Here is the json for the seat entity (in behaviour pack): { "format_version": "1.21.40", "minecraft:entity": { "description": { "identifier": "mewp:ferrisseat", "is_spawnable": true, "is_summonable": true, "is_experimental": true }, "component_groups": {}, "components": { "minecraft:type_family": { "family": [ "vehicle", "ferriswheel" ] }, "minecraft:conditional_bandwidth_optimization": {}, "minecraft:collision_box": { "width": 2, "height": 1 }, "minecraft:damage_sensor": { "triggers": { "deals_damage": "no" } }, "minecraft:persistent": {}, "minecraft:physics": { "has_collision": true, "has_gravity": false }, "minecraft:can_fly": {}, "minecraft:behavior.float": {}, "minecraft:rideable": { "seat_count": 2, "interact_text": "action.interact.ride.minecart", "pull_in_entities": true, "seats": [ { "position": [ -0.4, 0.1, 0.0 ] }, { "position": [ 0.4, 0.1, 0.0 ] } ] } }, "events": {} } }

The entity had to have can_fly, behavior.float and no gravity physics to work properly. The collision stuff isn't working I suspect because its rideable.

I'm surprised it doesn't try to turn but I haven't enabled any of that kind of thing in the behaviours, I suppose.

[quick shoal]

U alr made it force seat now?

What thing U lack yet

[neon thunder]

Yeah, if it has a player then it makes sure they keep riding

Its a bit strange when you do try to dismount, you do jump out briefly but get grabbed back in

Okay, so preventing them from logging out if you say I might be able to do that, that would be nice... And then also, every tick, I need to check the seat for changes in its rideable component's seated entities to see if they are players or not

Once I have multiple seats, I need to "attach" one to a player

I can't persist all that data so I need to be able to regenerate it on the fly

[quick shoal]

function checkSeatEntities() {
    if (ferrisSeat) {
        const rideable = ferrisSeat.getComponent("minecraft:rideable");
        if (rideable && rideable.seatedEntities.length > 0) {
            rideable.seatedEntities.forEach(entity => {
                if (entity.isPlayer()) {
                }
            });
        }
    }
}

I think can try this to check entity

[untold magnet]

is there any way to detect if the entity gets an explosion near it?

[distant gulch]

yes, wait ill send an example

[olive rapids]

Does anyone know how to make a script that makes an arrow disappear when it hits a block?

[distant gulch]

yes, wait a sec

[untold magnet]

ping me when finished

[distant gulch]

world.afterEvents.projectileHitBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    event.projectile.remove();
    const { x, y, z } = event.location;
    console.warn(`Removed arrow at ${x} ${y} ${z}`);
});

[olive rapids]

So when the arrow hits a block, it will be removed?

;O

[distant gulch]

yes

[olive rapids]

thank you so much ! ;D ❤️

[distant gulch]

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe((event) => {
    const { dimension, source } = event;

    const initialLocation = source.location || event.getImpactedBlocks()[0].location;

    const nearEntities = dimension.getEntities({
        location: initialLocation,
        maxDistance: 12, // can be changed
        closest: true // can be removed if you want to get all entities within the maxDistance
    });
});```
Should work

[simple zodiac]

a more typesafe way would be to do

if(entity instanceof Player){}

[distant gulch]

Clearer

if (entity instanceof Player) { ... }

[neon thunder]

ok

[distant gulch]

Btw entity.typeId === 'minecraft:player' would be alot more safe because when you stringify your player objekt and parse it again, it wont be an instance of the Player class anymore

[untold magnet]

great.

hm, const onFire = entity.getConponent('onfire') should detect when the entity is on fire

if (onFire) { ,,, }?

[distant gulch]

wait let me check

[untold magnet]

maybe if (onFire === true) { ,,, }

anyways I'll be back soon

[distant gulch]

// onFire will be undefined if entity is not burning
if (onFire) { ... }

export class EntityOnFireComponent extends EntityComponent {
    private constructor();
    /**
     * @remarks
     * The number of ticks remaining before the fire goes out.
     *
     */
    readonly onFireTicksRemaining: number;
    static readonly componentId = 'minecraft:onfire';
}

[distant gulch]

sure, ping me when anything is

[simple zodiac]

Don't just stringify a class instance lmao. You'd want proper serialisation/deserialasation. It would also loose its handle to native. Tldr: use instanceof and be typesafe

[distant gulch]

You're right

[covert goblet]

folks am i right in saying you cant have some configuration variables stored in a JSON file and load them in using the Script API??

[untold magnet]

it should detect when my entity get exploded or an explosion near it right?
wait will it just detect the explosion location or the closest explosion radius?

all explosions has radius, when the explosion happens nearby the entity will the radius be detected too or the explosion location only?
trying to explain

[wary edge]

Correct.

[distant gulch]

it will get the all the entites within the maxDistance or the closest if wanted

[quick shoal]

For custom knockback

[distant gulch]

edit the player or entity .json files

[distant gulch]

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

[untold magnet]

so, when the explosion happens, it will pick the closest entity within 12b radius right?

[quick shoal]

How

The API better or Json?

[distant gulch]

JSON

[wary edge]

@quick shoal please stop crossposting.

[quick shoal]

Okay

[quick shoal]

Sry

[distant gulch]

yourFile > entities > player.json

{
  "format_version": "1.18.20",
  "minecraft:entity": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "minecraft:player",
      "is_spawnable": false,
      "is_summonable": false,
      "is_experimental": false
    },

    "component_groups": {
      "minecraft:knockback_resistance": {
        "value": 0.6
      }
    }
  }
}

[quick shoal]

Thanksss I will try it

[distant gulch]

yes, you also can rmove the property closest to get all entites within the distance

[distant gulch]

(i dont know if this even works but sure)

[untold magnet]

i will remove it.

[distant gulch]

sure

[quick shoal]

Wait did I need full player.json or just the thing I need to changed?

[distant gulch]

you dont need the full one

missing parts are implemented "inside of" minecraft

[untold magnet]

this fog has an entity inside of it, when the explosion happens it will not do anything to the entity, so i want to make it when the explosion happens it will make the entity explode too, ty for helping

[quick shoal]

Oh

[untold magnet]

this fog has 25% to spawn from mining sulfur ore in the nether

[quick shoal]

Then the closest property is what

[untold magnet]

whenever the entity sets on fire it will cost the fog to explode

[quick shoal]

That's cool

[distant gulch]

Nice, no problem

[quick shoal]

Can I find it in player.json?

[distant gulch]

the message was for t17x

[distant gulch]

if you mean this message

[quick shoal]

Oh

I misunderstanding

[distant gulch]

dont worry

[quick shoal]

Does 0.6 is the best value?

[distant gulch]

0.6 was just an example

[quick shoal]

Why the people they who made the custom kB doesn't use player.json?

[distant gulch]

hmm, maybe because if you would do it via script you have more control over it

[quick shoal]

No

[distant gulch]

yes

[quick shoal]

If via the script that is so weird

And also

[distant gulch]

also a point

[quick shoal]

I found

If using script

When the player pvping they will have a long range reach

💀

[distant gulch]

well

[quick shoal]

I never thought it would be so easy

[distant gulch]

I thin if you do it via scrit you have mroe control over what happens BUT it won't work that fluently

[quick shoal]

Yea

I'm just need a ** low knockback **

Imma test it now:)

[distant gulch]

then put the value on 0.6-0.9

you need to restart the world if you edit entity json files

/reload wont work

[quick shoal]

Bro I put 0.4

[distant gulch]

okay

use /reload all

then the json file will be updated too

[quick shoal]

No I using phone so I always reimport addons and delete world then recreate it

[distant gulch]

uhhh.. okay?

(just rejoin the world..)

well - idk how it works on MCPE

so i better shut up

[quick shoal]

It say

Knockback components value doesn't parsed

[distant gulch]

uhh

[quick shoal]

What is that means

[distant gulch]

wait

[quick shoal]

What

[untold magnet]

@distant gulch

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
  const iLoc = source.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0].location;
  for (const entity of dimension.getEntities({ location: iLoc, maxDistance: 7 })) {
    if (entity.typeId === 'entity') entity?.triggerEvent('exe:explode') ←←←
  }
})```has a log

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native function [Entity::triggerEvent] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (index.js:465)

[quick shoal]

system.run(()

[distant gulch]

that was the reason why people are using scripts...i i guess player knocback can't be overwritten

[untold magnet]

ahhh, my bad

forgot it was beforeEvent

[quick shoal]

...

[distant gulch]

cute arrows

[quick shoal]

Fine
The issue you're encountering is because the "minecraft:player" entity cannot directly apply the minecraft:knockback_resistance component in this way. The minecraft:player entity is a special built-in entity type in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, and it doesn't follow the same behavior as custom entities in many cases.

[distant gulch]

hah

[quick shoal]

No:(

[distant gulch]

!hah

[covert goblet]

folks, has anybody come across a skyblock quests system, I'm looking for a point in the right direction of how to record and reward players in my realm for simple skyblock-like quests (mine 64 cobble, collect 32 leaf blocks etc) all i can find at the moment are fancy UI's that you tick off manually

[wary edge]

You can use scorebaords to keep track of events.

[untold magnet]

it does explode but, with a log

for, some reason

[covert goblet]

Very true @wary edge its the counting/rewarding part i was looking for. I'm ok with creating my own, but its always good to smooth a wheel than re-invent it

[untold magnet]

if (entity.typeId === 'entity' && entity?.isValid()) system.run(() => {entity?.triggerEvent('exe:explode')}); ←

is it bec of entity→?←.triggerEvent?

[distant gulch]

wait

@untold magnet do

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
    const iLoc = source.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0].location,
        entitiesInArea = dimension.getEntities({ location: iLoc, maxDistance: 7, type: 'entity' });

    system.run(() => {
        for (const entity of entitiesInArea) {
            if (!entity.isValid()) continue;
    
            entity.triggerEvent('exe:explode');
        };
    });
});

will be more perfomant

[untold magnet]

dont use type: 'entity' bec i will be using that method for other different entities

[distant gulch]

okay then:

[distant gulch]

entity.typeId will return (example) minecraft:skeleton

and not entity

[untold magnet]

hmm,

[distant gulch]

you want the family of it? like "mob" or "monster" ?

@untold magnet ??

[untold magnet]

na

[distant gulch]

what then?

[untold magnet]

it just detecting if the fog entity gets an explosion nearby it

lemme test if this would work

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
  const iLoc = source.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0].location;
  system.run(() => {for (const entity of dimension.getEntities({ location: iLoc, maxDistance: 7, type: 'entity'})) if (!entity?.isValid()) continue; entity?.triggerEvent('event')})
})```

[distant gulch]

should but "type" wont ig

@untold magnet this should do it

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
    const initLocation = source.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0].location;

    system.run(() => {
        const entitiesInArea = dimension.getEntities(
            { location: initLocation, maxDistance: 7 }
        );

        for (const entity of entitiesInArea) {
            if (!entity.isValid()) continue;
    
            entity.triggerEvent('exe:explode');
        };
    });
});

[warm mason]

Don't forget that source can be undefined and the block array can be empty

[distant gulch]

well if source is undefined it should take the first block but when its empty we got a problem

[warm mason]

I don't see "?" in source.location

[distant gulch]

ohh my bad i forgot it

@untold magnet use this - Thanks for the remark @warm mason

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

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
    const initLocation = source?.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0].location;

    if (!initLocation) return;

    system.run(() => {
        const entitiesInArea = dimension.getEntities(
            { location: initLocation, maxDistance: 7 }
        );

        for (const entity of entitiesInArea) {
            if (!entity.isValid()) continue;
    
            entity.triggerEvent('exe:explode');
        };
    });
});

[warm mason]

Well, it will also give an error if the array of blocks is empty

[distant gulch]

ughhh i saw it

waiiiiit

[untold magnet]

why if (!entity?.isValid()) continue;?

[warm mason]

By the way, why use beforeEvents?

[distant gulch]

it was like an instinct to use it

but maybe afterEvent would be better

due i dont need to run system.run

[warm mason]

Because mega bugs are mojang when the entity is in front of your face but it is not valid #1067535608660107284 message

[distant gulch]

right right, wait

world.afterEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
    const initLocation = source?.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0]?.location;

    if (!initLocation) return;

    const entitiesInArea = dimension.getEntities(
        { location: initLocation, maxDistance: 7 }
    );

    for (const entity of entitiesInArea) {
        entity.triggerEvent('exe:explode');
    };
});

Thats should fixxxx it

looks so much cleaner now

[warm mason]

By the way, the first block will most likely be somewhere on the outskirts of the explosion, so it would be better to determine the average of their locations

[distant gulch]

yes that was also my first tought but well, i was too lazy for this

[untold magnet]

i just want the explosion to detect my entity without logs

[distant gulch]

call them errors, not logs

[untold magnet]

errors logs both hurts

edit this

world.afterEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
  const iLoc = source.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0].location
  if (!iLoc) return;
  const entities = dimension.getEntities({ location: iLoc, maxDistance: 7 });
  for (const entity of entities) if (entity.typeId === 'entity' && entity.isValid()) entity.triggerEvent('event')
})```if needed

[distant gulch]

@warm mason since you are here

i gotta go

:))

[warm mason]

I changed my mind about writing this

[untold magnet]

just... make it detects my entity

bec i have no idea how

[distant gulch]

function getAverageBlockLocation (blocks) {
    if (blocks.length === 0) { return null; };

    const blocksLength = blocks.length;
    let xSum = 0, ySum = 0, zSum = 0;
    
    for (const block of blocks) {
        const { x, y, z } = block.location
        xSum += x; ySum += y; zSum += z;
    };  
    
    return {
        x: xSum / blocksLength,
        y: ySum / blocksLength,
        z: zSum / blocksLength
    };
};

[untold magnet]

const iLoc = source.location || getImpactedBlocks()[0].location

[Scripting][error]-Error: Failed to get property 'location' at <anonymous> (index.js:463)

[distant gulch]

source?.location

[untold magnet]

same log

[distant gulch]

world.afterEvents.explosion.subscribe(({ dimension, source, getImpactedBlocks }) => {
    const initLocation = source?.location || getAverageBlockLocation(getImpactedBlocks());

    if (!initLocation) return;

    const entitiesInArea = dimension.getEntities(
        { location: initLocation, maxDistance: 7 }
    );

    for (const entity of entitiesInArea) {
        entity.triggerEvent('exe:explode');
    };
});

function getAverageBlockLocation (blocks) {
    if (blocks.length === 0) { return null; };

    const blocksLength = blocks.length;
    let xSum = 0, ySum = 0, zSum = 0;
    
    for (const block of blocks) {
        const { x, y, z } = block.location
        xSum += x; ySum += y; zSum += z;
    };  
    
    return {
        x: xSum / blocksLength,
        y: ySum / blocksLength,
        z: zSum / blocksLength
    };
};

[untold magnet]

is all of that really necessary

[distant gulch]

well, yes

you can round the coords

[untold magnet]

how

[distant gulch]

Reasons

1 to be exact

[untold magnet]

logs? 'errors'

[distant gulch]

no

different ones

btw use this as return ```js
return {
x: Math.round(xSum / blocksLength),
y: Maph.round(ySum / blocksLength),
z: Math.round(zSum / blocksLength)
};

will be better

[untold magnet]

it now has math

[untold magnet]

Maph

[distant gulch]

Yes

Maph

(typo)

@untold magnet

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

world.afterEvents.explosion.subscribe((event) => {
    const initLocation = event.source?.location
        || getAverageBlockLocation(event.getImpactedBlocks());

    if (!initLocation) return;

    const entitiesInArea = event.dimension.getEntities(
        { location: initLocation, maxDistance: 7 }
    );

    for (const entity of entitiesInArea) {
        entity.triggerEvent('exe:explode');
    };
});

function getAverageBlockLocation (blocks) {
    if (blocks.length === 0) { return null; };

    const blocksLength = blocks.length;
    let xSum = 0, ySum = 0, zSum = 0;
    
    for (const block of blocks) {
        const { x, y, z } = block.location
        xSum += x; ySum += y; zSum += z;
    };  
    
    return {
        x: Math.round(xSum / blocksLength),
        y: Math.round(ySum / blocksLength),
        z: Math.round(zSum / blocksLength)
    };
};

This should be the final

[untold magnet]

i dont think its locked for a specific entity isn't it?

[distant gulch]

what

well you would need to add a if statement

[untold magnet]

the event 'exe:explode' isn't for every entity

lemme try it and see

[distant gulch]

either use entity.typeId or his "family"

[untold magnet]

first of all, no edits or changes

I'll test it out without doing anything

if it works fine I'll edit it a bit

[distant gulch]

alr

[untold magnet]

same log

const initLocation = event.source?.location here

[distant gulch]

how

[wary edge]

Ok this needs to be moved to a post now.

[distant gulch]

Okay sorry

[distant gulch]

lets dm

[untold magnet]

@distant gulch, should we try to unsubscribe it?

also what the actual hell will the unsubscribe will do to the event?

[distant gulch]

take "unsubscribe" by word

[untold magnet]

uh,

        const entities = entity?.dimension.getEntities({location: entity?.location, maxDistance: 1});
        for (const eEntity of entities) {eEntity?.addEffect('poison', 1, {amplifier: 1, showParticles: false}); eEntity?.addEffect('blindness', 3, {showParticles: false})};```is not working

it should

detect entities around my specific entity in 1 block radius

and give them 2 effects

^ no logs

[distant gulch]

try

debugging

best way

[quick shoal]

Bot down

[distant gulch]

what?

[quick shoal]

Bot is down

[distant gulch]

i meant with console.warn

[quick shoal]

Oh

[distant gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/nikolas-sad-chat-bubble-discord-reaction-rain-gif-13671655099393727488

Console.warn is the best way in my op.

[untold magnet]

console.warn(entities)?

[distant gulch]

try everything

.. typeof entity

.. entity

typeof entities.length

typeof entities

Maybe entities arent found or entity is undefined

[untold magnet]

is it bec of entity?.isValid()?

[distant gulch]

nah

only needable when you got a entity and you want to use it a tick later

[untold magnet]

console.warn(typeof entities.length) ill try this

[distant gulch]

sure

it can throw errors because entities can be undefined

[untold magnet]

nothing is happening

lemme test something else

[distant gulch]

nothing? weird

if you do typeof it will always return anything

[untold magnet]

ah

the entire interval is broken

somehow

[distant gulch]

lol

[untold magnet]

fixed

[distant gulch]

good

[untold magnet]

anyways

it will give u fetal poison, which means if u stay there for a while u will die

[distant gulch]

nice

Nice

good then we got it

at the end we needed to use beforeEvent

If anything is, just dm me ahgain

[untold magnet]

sure, ( i will when i find more unnecessary issues, like the 'location' log, xd )

[distant gulch]

yes...

maybe i know why this error appeared

source: (the exploding entity) we used afterEvent. so it isnt existant at this moment

gtg

[quick shoal]

Guys how to use

damaingEntity

option in applyDamage

[quick shoal]

Nvm, I think I know..

Is apply damage like this?

p2.applyDamage(0, {
            cause: EntityDamageCause.entityAttack,
            damagingEntity: p1
        });

Do not use the compiler in this channel

[quick shoal]

Okay

[distant tulip]

"compiler"

[north depot]

there is any bug related to 'minecraft:block_face' state and getState, getAllStates?

[quick shoal]

How to use applyDamage correctly

[dim tusk]

Oof

[dim tusk]

entity.applyDamage(1, { damagingEntity: entity, damagingProjectile: projectile })```
Or
```js
entity.applyDamage(1, { cause: 'entityAttack', damagingEntity: entity })```

[quick shoal]

Thankssss

[north depot]

How can i place only one of the list?

listBlock[Math.floor(Math.random() * listBlock.length)]

[wary edge]

Does that not work?

[north depot]

nop, Did you wanna check the list?

const listBlock = [
block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(${block.typeId}, configStates)),
block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(${block.typeId}, configStates)),
block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(${block.typeId}, configStates)),
block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(${block.typeId}, configStates))
]

it places all list... :c

[wary edge]

I...do not see any difference between the elements?

[north depot]

wdym?

[wary edge]

What are you trying to achieve, exactly?

[north depot]

a expand block event.... 👉 👈
after interact with a item it will placed only one the variables at a time...

[wary edge]

Right...but...all those elements are exactly the same no?

[north depot]

in my file, no.... 👀

do you want to see that part?

with using the runCommand and on the list the {}, i didnt had that issue...

[wary edge]

So the issue is just the blocks then? Perhaps not referencing the proper blocks?

[north depot]

no, the issue is because its placing all the blocks of list...

[wary edge]

What is blockNorth?

[north depot]

i just want one for each interact...

[north depot]

block.north(1)

[wary edge]

What happems if yoi do listBlocks[0]?

[north depot]

where in the const ?
or the part with math?

[wary edge]

Right below the const.

[steady canopy]

Does someone know why when i try to set dynamic properties in my item it says "Cannot set dynamic properties on stackable items" but this item isn't stackable, it's max _stack_size is 1 and it was working good before.

This is my item json

{
    "format_version": "1.20.0",
    "minecraft:item": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "item",
            "category": "Items"
        },
        "components": {
            "minecraft:max_stack_size": 1,
            "minecraft:icon" : {
                "texture": "item"
            }        
        }
    }
}

[wary edge]

Are you sure its setting it to the right item?

[north depot]

there? with 0, 1, any number, its the same, it placed all at the same time

[wary edge]

Could you make a post and upload the full thing.

[north depot]

there is a post... xD

[steady canopy]

yeah im 100% sure

[distant gulch]

cant player.runCommandAsync(`setmaxplayers 5); ?

[warm mason]

no closing quotes

[distant tulip]

setmaxplayers need high permission level i think

[quick shoal]

Guys

Who can fix this pls

[quick shoal]

This is a outdated template and im trying update it

[ruby haven]

Is there any way I can disable the ability of the player to look around cause I tried it on the behavior side by adding a movement:basic property with a value of zero but it doesn't work so I wonder if I can achieve that in scripts

[subtle cove]

simply remove the worldInitialize event

[quick shoal]

How

[subtle cove]

;-;

getDynamicProperty(identifier: string): boolean | number | string | Vector3 | undefined
```this should make sense

that's why there's no need to register em,
altho u should create a function if u need defaults

[chilly fractal]

You can set vec3s??

Oh yea vec3s not date object

Sorry my mind is just a bit uhh, foggy rn

[quick shoal]

Wdym

[steady zinc]

Is there a way to detect what potion effect a splash potion did when hitting an entity?

[quick shoal]

@subtle cove can U help me a bit

Just that error

Idk how

[distant gulch]

get the direction im looking at with getViewdirection(); and draw a straight line in the direction you are looking at? (Straight line is shown with particles)

[quick shoal]

@subtle cove how to work without worldInitialize

[idle dagger]

How do I make it with 3-4 arguments?

world.structureManager.place("charge", overworld, x, -60, z);

[quick shoal]

What are U want

world.structureManager.place('test', dimension, { x:0, y:0, z:0 }, { integrity: 1, animationMode: "Layers", animationSeconds: 1 });

@idle dagger

[idle dagger]

I need place it at defined x, y and z

[quick shoal]

Oh

Wait

[quick shoal]

Try it again

I changed

@idle dagger

Btw U need to const dimension

const dimension = world.getDimension('overworld');

@idle dagger is it worked?

@idle dagger

@idle dagger tell me if it working

[idle dagger]

k wait

[quick shoal]

Ok

[sharp elbow]

You don't need to be so aggressive in getting an answer. Go take a walk

[quick shoal]

Sure

[quick shoal]

Can U fix me a little issue

[quick shoal]

This

[quick shoal]

This is error

Just idk how to use property registry

[sharp elbow]

The documentation is completely worthless this time around

[idle dagger]

ty it’s working

[sharp elbow]

I'm not familiar enough with world initialization to know right this second, sorry

[quick shoal]

Oh

Nvm

What are U changed @subtle cove

[quick shoal]

What U changed

[subtle cove]

the commented got removed

[quick shoal]

Wdym

Can it work normally

[subtle cove]

yes

[quick shoal]

Thank U so much

[subtle cove]

the way the entity gets defined there seems okay

[quick shoal]

I will test it

U help me a big

@subtle cove

The vector is has problem too

It said vector is not export member at minecraft/server

Wait

The code is not have vector

But the contents log said

Oh

Is the other file

[subtle cove]

wrong file ;-;

[quick shoal]

How

Change it to vector3?

)

{x,y,z} is enuf

[quick shoal]

Uh just that simple

I alr know this method but I'm not ensure before

[subtle cove]

Vector3 is basically {x,y,z}
Vector2 {x,y}
-# iirc

[quick shoal]

Oh

What situation will need import Vector3 @subtle cove ?

[subtle cove]

the old Vector class had methods like add, subtract, distance of two vectors

[quick shoal]

So the export member is now removed by mojang?

[subtle cove]

Vec3

[subtle cove]

yeah

[quick shoal]

@subtle cove ar U remove the export in the file just now?

It cause erro

Wait it original not exist

[ruby haven]

Is it possible to run a command before a player spawns in the world

[quick shoal]

Yes

@subtle cove can U help me change again the file

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.entityLoad.subscribe((data) => {
const player = data.source;
})

I just want the player to be the executor in running a command how do I do it

[quick shoal]

Because the file I give at begin is changed by ai

[ruby haven]

So after an entity.loads the player will run the command

[quick shoal]

@subtle cove same problem, but this is DynamicPropertiesDefinition

Just use the method U used just now

Sry for the rehelp

[ruby haven]

Can someone plss help me on this

[quick shoal]

I recommend playerSpawn

Wait

[ruby haven]

I just want to achieve this

Cause after the player spawns I will run a command where the player can't move so he will be forced to watch a cutscene

[quick shoal]

PlayerSpawn also can do this

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
    if (initialSpawn) {
    
    }
});

@ruby haven

[ruby haven]

What does initial spawn checks?

[quick shoal]

It will just run function when player join

If not joined spawn event it will return

[ruby haven]

Thank you so much I tried it in the behavior Json of the player but it doesn't work so I had to rely on scripts thank bro

[quick shoal]

Json is hard to do this type thing I guess

[ruby haven]

Yeah cause it loads after the player spawns while scripts load before the player spawns

[quick shoal]

@subtle cove

[quick shoal]

Or U just tell me how solve thiis

This not fix yet

It's so hard to fix

[granite badger]

well you don't need DynamicPropertiesDefinition, it's outdated.
Vector is also an outdated class, so remove it

[quick shoal]

But idk how remove

I afraid of I will removed the important part

[subtle cove]

whats the itemDefinitionEvent for?

Oh

ItemUse I think

I really can't fix that

Wait

Lemme see

Bruh

That things

Is use for

See the vaild Icon(item at chest gui

[subtle cove]

i cant find any item event to use for that

[quick shoal]

Idk

U just

Change to itemUse

[subtle cove]

this an item.typeId?

[quick shoal]

Yea

[subtle cove]

k

[quick shoal]

I found in items folder

I have try to fix it by myself

But it always goes error

Especially the export issues

I have no idea what caused it.

But the issue maybe is did by me

@subtle cove did U could fix the code?

can i remove variables from a const after i already set up?
like this:

const listVariables = [Varible1,Varible2,Varible3,Varible4]
if (//a simple check filter//) {
listVariables - Variable2
}

[north depot]

question...
i need to use index, indexOf(#V), and splice?

nevermind i figure it out...

i need all 3

Xd

correction....
only the last one its necessary

[jolly citrus]

is it possible to make custom slash commands yet

[warm mason]

no

[jolly citrus]

sad

[chilly fractal]

When the beforeEvent version of chatSend comes, you then can ask that question, it may happen, it may not.

It's not stable yet which means mojang has got plans to change it in the feature.

[jolly citrus]

i doubt it would work that way

for registering a command

[warm mason]

I think that slash commands will be made more like custom components

[jolly citrus]

^

there would be no way to display it in the list of command suggestions if they were to be checked through a chat event

[chilly fractal]

I didn't say anything about commands, all I said is the event is in beta which means they have plans to change it in the feature.

[jolly citrus]

yes indeed

but u were replying to my inquiry about custom slash commands so i mean i figured

[chilly fractal]

Yes I was replying telling you that the current state of the event is unfinished.

[warm mason]

Then what does the event have to do with it?

[jolly citrus]

anyone have a good way of detecting inventory slot interaction like clicking on a slot with an item

i need to be able to read the item stack of the slot its moved to as well

[chilly fractal]

Idk I heard some stuff from like 2 years ago yapping about the event getting an upgrade with custom commands too, i don't remember the member who said this but yea

[jolly citrus]

i thought about comparing the player's inventory to an old inventory from 1-2 ticks ago but it seems like it would be very bad performance wise

[chilly fractal]

You mean detecting when a player moves an item?

[jolly citrus]

yes

idk if you've seen what i mean but for example on a lot of java servers you can apply things like enchanted books to items by clicking with them on the item you want to enchant

[chilly fractal]

Ye

[jolly citrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOXydGsozm0&t=463s example

watch it from the timestamp i set

[random flint]

Possible, but it's sloppy

[jolly citrus]

how

i need any reliable way that wont be too bad performance wise

[chilly fractal]

I don't think there is a performance wise way

Nah

[random flint]

Check each item change in inventory :D

[jolly citrus]

but how

is the only way the way i suggested?

save old inventory from last tick and compare?

[chilly fractal]

It's laggy.

Ye

[random flint]

Optimize it

[jolly citrus]

bc i feel like with 10-11 players it will become very bad performance wise

[chilly fractal]

Bettttr

[random flint]

Then just check when necessary

[jolly citrus]

and when should it be necessary

how do i detect it being necessary if they can click on the item with an enchanted book at pretty much any time

[chilly fractal]

You just gave me motivation XX With Duration Of 293828282s

[warm mason]

If the player's speed = 0, he does not move, which means the inventory can be opened

[jolly citrus]

smart

[random flint]

There's a Cursor slot component, though, it's irrelevant for mobiles

[jolly citrus]

crash server method = spam swap items in your inventory with 10 alt accounts

[chilly fractal]

Yessir my time

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/1.21.43/classes/_minecraft_server_1_15_0.PlayerCursorInventoryComponent.html

[warm mason]

And for half an hour I puzzled over why this thing doesn’t work?!

[random flint]

preview maybe

[chilly fractal]

It says on doc :)

[warm mason]

I only noticed later

[chilly fractal]

"Not used on touch controls"

[chilly fractal]

That's why you double check :)

Ima try to make some script, yall improve it

[warm mason]

But this does not prevent mojangs from using this function on all devices

[chilly fractal]

Idk how to make inv saving & checking performant

I'll try my best tho

[warm mason]

In our case, we need to check the swap of equipment and books

[random flint]

Here's a better idea: Instead of doing the "drag and drop" mechanic, why not just "use and select"?

[jolly citrus]

sorry what

give an example of "use and select"

[random flint]

Right-click the enchant book (on the Hotbar)
Scroll to other slots
Then right-click your equipment (on the Hotbar)

or

Enchant book on the offhand.
Equipment on the mainhand.
Right-click to apply "enchantment"

[jolly citrus]

you cant put books on offhand

[random flint]

Custom items are?

You can make a custom Item look like a book without a resource pack

[jolly citrus]

scaling issues

no

and positioning

[warm mason]

I wanted to write this code, but I got lazy

[jolly citrus]

if the user has a custom pack enabled

and uses like 32x or 64x for book

it will look gigantic

and the orientation when held is also off

[random flint]

wdym scaling issue, I've doing it and got no issue

[chilly fractal]

import { world, system } from "@minecraft/server";
let iS = {}; // Inventorys
function compareItems(i1, i2) { // Item 1, Item 2
  let aC = ['lore', 'canPlaceOn', 'canDestroy']; // Array Components
  for (let k in aC) {
    if (i1[k].length !== i2[k].length) return false;
    if (i1[k].filter((v, _) => i1[k][_] == i2[k][_]).length !== i1[k].length) return false;
  }
  
  let cC = ['typeId', 'amount', 'lockMode', 'keepOnDeath']; // Constant Components (Like Not Array, I Should Change the Name...)
  for (let c of cC) {
    if (i1[c] !== i2[c]) return false;
  }
  return true;
}

function sI(p) { // Save Inv, Smaller Names For Tiny Micro Optimizations
  let iC = p.getComponent('inventory').container;
  for (let i = 0; i < iC.size; i++) {
    let I = iC.getItem(i);
    if (!iC) continue;
    iS[p.id][i] = I;
  }
}

function cI(p) { // Compare Inv, Smaller Names For Tiny Micro Optimizations
  let iC = p.getComponent('inventory').container;
  for (let i = 0; i < iC.size; i++) {
    let I = iC.getItem(i);
    if (compareItems(I, iS[p.id][i])) continue;
    // Code For Being Different ItemStack
  }
}

system.runInterval(() => {
  // idk
}, 3);

Some Basic Code, Y'all Can Go On Right?

[jolly citrus]

what are these variable names

thank you tho

[chilly fractal]

Yeah you can see on the comments, "Smaller Names For Tiny Micro Optimizations"

[warm mason]

Such clear code

[chilly fractal]

Ain't clear

[jolly citrus]

i doubt it does

apart from file size

[chilly fractal]

It does optimize but "Tiny Micro Optimizations" Very very little, basically unnoticeable..................

Probably

[warm mason]

For small optimizations it is better to use loops in the format (let i =0; i < 123...)

They are faster, I checked

[chilly fractal]

Yeah, just compareItems I didn't do that, cuz it was just a yeeted function I just had lying around in my blissSMP addon

I never actually used it so ye

I cared less about it (at that time)

[remote oyster]

Very short variable names like that only make it difficult to read and understand what is going on and what they represent. Especially when you return back to the code at a later date. There really isn't any noticeable benefits for doing that with the JavaScript engine these days. Their lengths have no significant impact on performance. Bottlenecks are typically related to algorithms, data structures, or I/O operations, not variable name length.

[chilly fractal]

Cool to know.

Welp at least my addon is unreadable, so I just obfuscate it and even if one does deobfuscate it they'll have absolutely no idea what the code means :)

Cool perk from doing dumb shii ig

[remote oyster]

Lol

[chilly fractal]

Oh Gemini can reverse engineer my voodoo rituals that I did to my code..

Nah ima just troll my friends with this

[remote oyster]

Gega has been typing for a long while now 👀

[chilly fractal]

Yea

Is bro making a stanza or a poem or a book or what?

[remote oyster]

Lol

[chilly fractal]

Nahhhhhh

[remote oyster]

@random flint you did not just type all that time and stop lol

[chilly fractal]

Bruh you tempted me this long? Nvm.

[remote oyster]

I'm invested haha

[chilly fractal]

Same fr

[random flint]

In my theory, Custom enchantments "drag and drop" mainly check for three states on each slot:

• Is an Empty Slot
• Is an Enchant Book
• Else (Equipment, Unenchantable)

So basically you only want to check for slots that have the enchanted book first. Then, if the slot becomes empty, it assumes the player has picked it up.

Check each tick again, if the player decides to drop the book, or place it on another container.

If the player decides to just not enchant anything, their emptySlotsCount would increase since they're putting back the enchanted book on an empty slot.

Otherwise, we kept checking the filled slots if they suddenly changed into a book.

This process probably took a soft copy of what each filled slot has to compare it.

If it's found, then stop the check, and began "enchanting" or smt, idk...

[remote oyster]

I was expecting it to be way longer than that 😂😂😂😂

[random flint]

No ones want to read long text unfortunately

[chilly fractal]

Bruh all that long just for this little text?

Yea, people are impatient these days lol

[inland merlin]

thank you

i forgot if there was something

[jolly citrus]

is there an event for when a player fires a projectile

[warm mason]

No, and it cannot be. Because "the player launches a projectile" is quite abstract

But you can use entitySpawn and check what you need

[jolly citrus]

is there a way to reliably achieve this

[jolly citrus]

i've tried checking for the nearest player w that but it doesnt work too well

sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt

[dim tusk]

projectileHitEntity and get the owner?

[remote oyster]

☝️

[jolly citrus]

this would return the player when they get hit?

[dim tusk]

Huuuh?

[jolly citrus]

but the thing is i also need to know what itemstack they sent the projectile out of

[jolly citrus]

the player

you said get the owner

on projectileHitEntity

[jolly citrus]

when another ntity gets hit by the projectile that causes this event to fire, it has a property that tells you who threw the particle? is that what u mean

[remote oyster]

The event will return the entity who fired the projectile and there is a method you can call in the event which will return the entity that was hit.

[dim tusk]

The hell you mean particle?

[jolly citrus]

projectile

stop acting dumb you knew exactly what i meant bro

🤦

[remote oyster]

thank you, will check it out soon

[dim tusk]

Not my fault 🤣... The docs exist too

[jolly citrus]

okay but why point it out when you knew that i meant projectile and not particle

there's no need to question it if you actually did not get confused by it

mistakes happen, i thought about particles so my brain decided to type out particle instead of projectile

[warm mason]

Do you need shot detection or hit detection?

[dim tusk]

Not worth it to fight, small things just forget it

[jolly citrus]

sorta both

i need to get the info of the item stack the projectile was thrown out of

but i only need that info when an entity is hit by that very projectile

[warm mason]

Here the playerShot function is triggered when the player shoots

[jolly citrus]

thanks

seems like it would work im just concerned about them swapping slots after shooting

[warm mason]

Save it to a variable and then use it in the projectileHitEntity event

[jolly citrus]

will do thx

it only can be done with const? And almost anything can be const, right?

You can also use return 'text', I'm not very good at explaining

any way thank you was hoping it maybe be like a 'callback checkpoint' or something like that

A constant just means you can't reassign the value later on in the script

Why use const if you can just use function?

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
if (initialSpawn) {
player.runCommand("function movenot");
player.runCommand("scoreboard objectives add Trauma dummy");
player.runCommand("scoreboard players add @s Trauma 10");
player.runCommand("scoreboard objectives add Days dummy");
player.runCommand("scoreboard players add @s Days 30");
}
});

As you can see in the script there Is a Days dummy and I want to make a system where the moment the value of the scoreboard dummy named Days becomes 0 I want to run a command the player is the one executing it

[quick shoal]

Do U need help

[ruby haven]

Yeah again haha

Scripting is hard

[quick shoal]

I'm not fully understand

Sry

What do U trying to do

[ruby haven]

Do you know scoreboards?

[quick shoal]

Ye

Oh

Wait

I think I understand

[ruby haven]

You see I added a Days dummy to the player and a gave it a value of 30 to represent the time before the player dies so everytime a day passes the 30 is being subtracted by 1 which I already made the problem is I don't know how to detect when the the Days dummy value becomes 0 so I can run a command

[quick shoal]

Oh

U can just use scoreboard class

sadly I never learned at that

But I will try

[warm mason]

if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").getScore(player) <= 0) {
  // code
}

[quick shoal]

Oh

U knew it?

[warm mason]

No, I’m just writing what I came up with.

[quick shoal]

Oh U want getScore of dummy not a player?

Okey

[warm mason]

|| It's a joke ||

[quick shoal]

I will try it

[ruby haven]

Thanks I'll try this

[quick shoal]

Wait

Bro

I misunderstood

I thought serty is U @ruby haven

[ruby haven]

Oh no hahaha

[warm mason]

[quick shoal]

My eyes 😵‍💫

[quick shoal]

I help u

Lemme try first

[warm mason]

I already told him how to do it

[ruby haven]

Okay thanks bro if you need help other than scripting you can ask help for me

[quick shoal]

addScore() like this?

I think I must goto check docs

[warm mason]

For what

[quick shoal]

Dummy or player

[warm mason]

He needs to check whether the value has reached 0

[quick shoal]

Nvm

I'm just learn that

I think if we need deduct score can do like this

addScore(dummy, -1)?

@ruby haven wait a moment if U can't do it yourself I will help u

[ruby haven]

Yeah I can't

[quick shoal]

Please wait for a bit moment. I am eating. Sorry.

[ruby haven]

Wait I already finished the part where everytime a day passes the score is being deducted the only problem is

To detect when the score becomes 0

[warm mason]

.

[quick shoal]

But U using run command

[ruby haven]

Wait serty how do I add it in this code import { world, system } from "@minecraft/server";

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
if (initialSpawn) {
player.runCommand("function movenot");
player.runCommand("scoreboard objectives add Trauma dummy");
player.runCommand("scoreboard players add @s Trauma 10");
player.runCommand("scoreboard objectives add Days dummy");
player.runCommand("scoreboard players add @s Days 30");
}
});

[quick shoal]

I will help U later

[warm mason]

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (let player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").getScore(player) <= 0) {
      player.sendMessage("Time over")
    }
  }
})

[quick shoal]

Yea

[ruby haven]

Okay I'll try this

[quick shoal]

So I'm just need change run command to scoreboard class for U @ruby haven

[warm mason]

For what

If that's how it works for him. Why change?

[quick shoal]

He using runCommandAsync

After I ate I will start coding it

[warm mason]

AND? Using commands is not good when you are using API methods and suddenly you need a command. There is basically nothing like that here, because it only uses the commands

[quick shoal]

Yea so I will change it

[ruby haven]

I tried it, it works but the command is lopping how do I make it so that it will only run one time

[quick shoal]

Don't use command

Okey I can help U now

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
if (initialSpawn) {
player.runCommand("function movenot");
player.runCommand("scoreboard objectives add Trauma dummy");
player.runCommand("scoreboard players add @s Trauma 10");
player.runCommand("scoreboard objectives add Days dummy");
player.runCommand("scoreboard players add @s Days 30");
};
system.runInterval(() => {
for (let player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").getScore(player) <= 0) {
player.sendMessage("Time over")
}
}
})
});
This is the current progress only problem is it loops

[quick shoal]

Wdym of loop

I coding for U

Dont worry

[warm mason]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(data => {
  let score = world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days") || world.scoreboard.addObjective("Days")
  let player = data.player
  if (score.getScore(player) == undefined) {
    score.setScore(player, 30)
  }
})

[ruby haven]

No that part doesn't loop the Time is over loops

[warm mason]

Well, just do what you need and return the value to 30 days or reset it

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (let player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").getScore(player) <= 0) {
      player.sendMessage("Time over")
      world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").removeParticipant(player)
    }
  }
})

[ruby haven]

You see the idea is when the Days become 0 I will load a structure in the player and it will become a boss fight so really want the command to run one time only

[warm mason]

[full brook]

I mean like this

[warm mason]

I wrote everything to him a long time ago... Correct runInterval to a new one

[warm mason]

@quick shoal

[warm mason]

Well, not on mobile devices

[full brook]

sad

[warm mason]

If you are on a computer then you can

[quick shoal]

Ok

[ruby haven]

That can be achieved in the player.json file behavior side

[warm mason]

?!

How?

[quick shoal]

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
    if (initialSpawn) {
        player.runCommand("function movenot");
        world.scoreboard.addObjective('Trauma', null);
        world.scoreboard.addObjective('Days', null);
        world.scoreboard.addScore(player, 'Trauma', 10);
        world.scoreboard.addScore(player, 'Days', 30);
    }
});

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (let player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").getScore(player) <= 0) {
      player.sendMessage("Time over")
      world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").removeParticipant(player)
    }
  }
})

@ruby haven

[quick shoal]

Use ,this full

[ruby haven]

Example environment sensor component there is a filter their where you can check if the player is holding a specific item

[warm mason]

wrong

[quick shoal]

What's wrong

[full brook]

actually, you can detect the items in the slot using script

[warm mason]

Can I have a link to the documentation?

[quick shoal]

what's wrong

[warm mason]

The fact is that you took methods out of nowhere

[quick shoal]

Bro docs

I follow documents

[ruby haven]

https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Entities#minecraft:environment_sensor

[warm mason]

world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").addScore(player, 30)

[ruby haven]

Check the filters side

[quick shoal]

never mind, maybe I really need to learn scoreboard class as seriously

[warm mason]

There is no such thing

[quick shoal]

Ok

[granite badger]

Which docs are you using

[quick shoal]

This

Microsoft

I forget to getObjective

[granite badger]

Try this https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server_1_15_0.Scoreboard.html

[quick shoal]

Okey

[warm mason]

You can't change the value right away, you need to get the scoreboardObjective class first

[warm mason]

What is the point of other documentation?

[quick shoal]

Thanks for teaching scoreboard class

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({ player, initialSpawn }) => {
    if (initialSpawn) {
        player.runCommand("function movenot");
        world.scoreboard.addObjective('Trauma', null);
        world.scoreboard.addObjective('Days', null);
        world.scoreboard.getObjective('Trauma').addScore(player, 10);
        world.scoreboard.getObjective('Days').addScore(player, 30);
    }
});

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (let player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").getScore(player) <= 0) {
            player.sendMessage("Time over")
            world.scoreboard.getObjective("Days").removeParticipant(player)
        }
    }
})

@ruby haven fixed

[warm mason]

What filter?

[granite badger]

We have our own code examples on some APIs that microsoft docs may not have yet

[quick shoal]

But your document will look less informative?

[quick shoal]

@ruby haven try it

[warm mason]

|| Wait, he chooses from the pile of codes that you gave him ||

[granite badger]

You might want to click on the file names on the examples

[quick shoal]

Bruh

[ruby haven]

Already works now

[quick shoal]

This is latest

[quick shoal]

Which U using

[quick shoal]

Oh..thx

[ruby haven]

Go to Filters cause the information is categorized like
Ai goal components
Components
Filters
etc.

[warm mason]

what is the name of the filter?

[ruby haven]

Give me a scenario that I can apply it

[warm mason]

?

[ruby haven]

has_equipment part

[warm mason]

Not,
that's not it.

[ruby haven]

It checks if there is a specific I item either in your inventory, armor slot or hand equiped

[warm mason]

Only now I need to check whether the item is selected in the inventory

[warm mason]

.

[ruby haven]

When you select item to inventory doesn't that go to your hands?

[warm mason]

No

[ruby haven]

Oh well I guess it can only be achieved through scripts then

[warm mason]

That's the thing: it's possible, but only on a computer

[ruby haven]

Thanks for the help

[ruby haven]

Thanks also

[distant gulch]

Well, depends

I got problems with Naming classes/variables e.t.c and structuriing problems, i dunno how i can fix it

[quick shoal]

Real hard and pain is phone coder..

[distant gulch]

hah, yes

[warm mason]

I'm not sure it's hard

[neon thunder]

Guys, I've got a problem where I'm starting a job in world after initialise and I'm getting an error in that job telling me that I'm trying to access a block that's in a chunk that's not initialised and ticking. How do I check for that and how should I start a job after the world is properly loaded?

[remote oyster]

You can't access blocks that are not loaded. You need a ticking area to keep it loaded or a fake player to stay loaded.

Otherwise, don't attempt to access the block(s) unless you can do so through another player, or entity.

[neon thunder]

I'm doing this on world initialise

[remote oyster]

My point still stands.

[neon thunder]

Yeah, so how do I determine whether the area is a "ticking" one then?

[remote oyster]

Don't have to. It would naturally be loaded and so the object of the block would return with all of its properties and methods.

[subtle cove]

U can use entitySpawn like pings

[neon thunder]

And it seems there are no entities loaded at the time, either

[remote oyster]

If the block returns empty (undefined) then you keep checking until it returns. Have to handle it with conditions.

[neon thunder]

Its not a block that its complaining about, its the location for a spawn

[remote oyster]

Entities, such as mobs, won't be loaded. They go into a frozen state when players are not in the area, and I believe they are despawned after the fact when a time has gone by, but either way, you can't touch them.

[neon thunder]

So, how to I start a job that will actually be started after the world is properly initialised?

[gentle mist]

Yo does any server plugins exist for mcpe

[remote oyster]

The world can be loaded all day but you still will not be able to access the block or location in question unless you have a player or fake player loaded in. Or you have created a ticking area to keep the chunk loaded.

[neon thunder]

I am trying to re-establish internal state about entities and there aren't any loaded after world initialise

Even though they are persistent

[remote oyster]

Who or what is persistent?

[subtle cove]

I'd use entitySpawn event

[remote oyster]

That would be the best option.

[neon thunder]

I guess I will have to have some flag to determine whether a player is logged in

[random flint]

entity.isValid()

[remote oyster]

Use the entitySpawn playerSpawn event for that and check the property initialSpawn to see if it's their first time spawning in the server

[neon thunder]

They aren't loaded for me to do this

I'll just set a flag whenver the spawn event is fired and wait on that as a latch. That way, there is some player spawned before I try to access the entities

[random flint]

That method works regardless if the entity instance is loaded or not.

Block instance too, also works.

It's just a test if the thing is still accessible by the script

[quick shoal]

playerSpawn

[neon thunder]

Well that didn't seem to work, either

[remote oyster]

Correct, got my tongue twisted up lol.

[neon thunder]

Even releasing a latch by use of playerSpawn after event didn't work, btw

But I have got a work-around yeah...

I don't know if it will stand up in the real world

[jolly citrus]

is there a way to make name tags display in a different color for different clients

i want people in the same faction to see the names of their team members in green n enemies in yellow

[jolly citrus]

not just in script api if theres any other way lmk

[warm mason]

no

[distant gulch]

-# visually I'd say

[jolly citrus]

sad

[gentle mist]

Can i get a side with the actual item ids

please

[cold grove]

Hm?

Try
ItemTypes.getAll()

[jolly citrus]

any way to make a player fully invisible w/o using size component ? i mean hiding the armor fire n everything

[gentle mist]

Bro i want the ids

[warm mason]

He told you how to get it

[gentle mist]

I just want a site where i can see them
