Script API General

[chilly fractal]

Yes

Only unstackable items tho

Like totems and stuff

[jade grail]

I see thanks

[chilly fractal]

You're welcome

[terse pulsar]

How i use the script debugger bots?

[dim tusk]

I'm asking the after events you used not the before event.

But what he gave should work

[sharp elbow]

Anyone know what the script Watchdog settings are by default on Realms? The value of the timeout specifically

Or perhaps more generally: If anyone knows what the default timeout setting might be on BDS.

[sharp elbow]

Seems to be 10 seconds (10000 ms) as of 1.21.43

[fiery solar]

It is

#script-watchdog-hang-threshold=10000
# Sets the watchdog threshold for single tick hangs (default = 10000 ms).

[dim tusk]

Do I separately make a dynamic property for every location that I store in item or just one property

[fiery solar]

The best way depends on what the item does. It depends on the maximum number of locations you're going to have and how often you are going to update them.

I would say in most cases one property per location is better.

[dim tusk]

Hmm probably 12 locations max, and they don't update frequently cause to change the loc player needs to delete it first then put location they want

[fiery solar]

Oh. It doesn't really matter then, one property will work and is probably easier to code

[junior hill]

idk made it work by making it a function

and running said function

Hello!
Does the playerInteractWithEntity event require the minecraft:interact component in the entity's behavior?

[warm mason]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1309136217996005377

[meager cargo]

Thanks!

[warm mason]

if you use afterEvents then yes, but you can do it without components

[torn leaf]

can anyone help me? maybe this is oot, but i want to ask how to connect LoginSecurity / AuthMeReloaded plugin to MYSQL database. i have node for my server and i have website with DirectAdmin panel. I've tried connecting it properly, but the plugin is giving an error, and the log says "plugin cannot connect to database"

[slow walrus]

completely the wrong place to ask lmao

[misty pivot]

it says the knockback is not a function, which i don't understand why

target.applyKnockback(player.location.x, player.location.z, 8, 0.1)```

[quick shoal]

Send full code

[misty pivot]

aight, gimme a sec

const Runner = system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getPlayers();
    for (let player of players) {
        let target = player.dimension.getEntities({location: player.location, excludeNames: [ player.name ], maxDistance: 8, closest: 1});
        target.applyKnockback(player.location.x, player.location.z, 8, 0.1)
    }
})```

well technically this isn't the full code, but i shortened it down to be able to be sent here

[quick shoal]

Idk what's problem

[jolly citrus]

can't apply knockback to non-player

use applyImpulse i think or wtv its called

[ruby haven]

I made an entity that stomp attacks and I want to make the players get knocked away if they are within 10 radius from the entity should I use apply knockback or create explosion?

[random flint]

getEntities() returns Array despite closest: 1.

It also had a possibility of empty Array

you're basically calling Array.applyKnockback, which of course, doesn't work

[misty pivot]

i tried adding [1] and even with mobs nearby, it said it wasn't a function, which is odd

[random flint]

use 0 for the first element in the array

Array[0]

[misty pivot]

ahhh

let me try

yep, adding a [0] worked, thanks

[ruby haven]

Is there a function that lets me check the specific family of an entity

[random flint]

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

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe((event) => {
  if (event.damagingEntity.typeId == 'mz:smile') {
    const victim = event.hitEntity;
    const victimFamily = victim.getComponent('minecraft:type_family');
    if (victimFamily != 'demon') {
      victim.applyImpulse()
    }
  }
});

This is my code so far the goal is:
I made an entity that stomp attacks and I want to make the players get knocked away if they are within 10 radius from the entity.

I don't know if I did something wrong

[ruby haven]

I'll just set the impulse later but is the code correct?

[distant gulch]

seems like to be

[distant gulch]

Wait, take alook at your component https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entitytypefamilycomponent?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[distant gulch]

type_family class

[ruby haven]

Thanks but I just realized I don't need it cause I already set it up on the behavior.hdon file

[keen laurel]

Is it possible to import other files into the javascript that minecraft uses? I'm trying to import a json file that I custom made, but it's importing as ___.json.js, lol

[wary edge]

You cant import json.

[keen laurel]

aight ty

[spring axle]

hmm that would be nice wouldn't it

[wary edge]

sigh lemme guess? We have to choose between lore limit increase or this?

[spring axle]

no no no no. If we add importing JSON, we will decrease the lore limit to 7 characters

[wary edge]

LGTM. Ship it.

[valid ice]

[idle dagger]

how to get all entities in world like

overworld.getAllEntities()

?

[warm mason]

function getAllEntities(options) {
  let all = []
  for (let id of ["overworld","nether","the_end"]) {
    all = all.concat(world.getDimension(id).getEntities(options))
  }
  return all
}

[honest spear]

https://tenor.com/view/superman-hope-henry-cavill-gif-11353955

[tight sparrow]

Ia there a method for world.afterEvents.dataDrivenEntityTrigger.subscribe to make my mob apply impulse to target when my mob specific event is active

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.15.0/classes/DataDrivenEntityTriggerAfterEvent.html

Just applyImuplse or knocback to the entity.

[tight sparrow]

Yeah I mean on a target of my mob when event is active

I try to do this target=entity.target
But not working?

[wary edge]

Are you using beta apis?

Any content log?

[tight sparrow]

I'm am not

[wary edge]

There you go.

[tight sparrow]

What so that's the problem?

The target after event class is beta?

[jolly citrus]

best way to detect the player that threw a projectile (when it has spawned, not when it has hit something)?

[tight sparrow]

What beta version should I use then?

[wary edge]

Theres only 1.

[jolly citrus]

im worried getting the nearest player is not reliable enough cos sometimes it's not correct when i've tried

[tight sparrow]

Um what is it?

[tight sparrow]

And what Minecraft version it works

[keen laurel]

honestly just imported a json file anyways by just copying the whole thing and assigning it to a var lmao... a little cursed but it works so 🤷‍♂️

export const jsonObject = {
  "a": {
    "z": 1,
  },
  "b": {
    "z": 2,
  },
}

[tight sparrow]

Oh shesh I misunderstood you I thought u say if I use Minecraft/server beta

[jolly citrus]

world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.subscribe((data) => {
    let projectile = data.projectile;
    let isAbility = projectile.getDynamicProperty("isAbility")??false

why do i get Failed to call function 'getDynamicProperty'

[warm mason]

Full error message

[jolly citrus]

comes from line isAbility

this isnt the full file so

nothing else is relevant

[valid ice]

Is the projectile valid

[warm mason]

Entity is not valid

[jolly citrus]

how do i make it valid then ..

is there any other property i can check for it

[warm mason]

No way

[jolly citrus]

id perhaps?

ok yes id works

[warm mason]

You need to set the value of "destroyOnHit" (or whatever it is) in the projectile component to false

[jolly citrus]

its not custom projectile if you meant that

but its okay

i found a new fix

[warm mason]

So that the projectile is not destroyed upon collision and destroy it manually after executing the code

[jolly citrus]

why do i get this humongous stack of slowdowns when i /reload

[warm mason]

Lol 5 milliseconds. I wouldn't call it a "slowdown". This means you are running complex code at the beginning of loading scripts

[jolly citrus]

do slowdowns from the same script stop showing up after a certain point if it calls for a slowdown multiple times

because i do not run anything complex specifically at the beginning of loading scripts

more like i run complex systems all the time

my pack is filled with loops at intervals of 1-2 ticks

[fiery solar]

Well that's your problem. Warnings do eventually stop showing up for the same script if they get triggered too many times. This message is warning you that your loops are lagging the game.

[jolly citrus]

what do i do if i do need these loops tho ,,

[fiery solar]

You can change them so they run faster. What kinds of things do they do? Why do they need to run every 1-2 ticks?

[jolly citrus]



this one is probably the most resource intensive one

yes this one is every 20 ticks but it's complex

i need to check what claim a player is in

passive buffs for faction members (there's more to it than this but its all just repeated if statements

[dim tusk]

Wait, why do you use system.run inside of system.runInterval

[fiery solar]

Without being able to run the whole addon I can't tell you what is slowing you down the most, but you have a lot of loops inside loops and loops running in parallel. There are also more efficient ways to check land claims, especially if you have many of them.

[simple arch]

how can I have a simulated player equip a shield using getComponent("equippable"):setEquipment(offhand) i tried it but it didn't work.

[wary edge]

Is there a...onxpgranted perhaps? Theoretically...if I wanted to double the xp someone gets from doing an action(editing vanilla files is not possible due to smelting and other sources). I can't also just double the xp amount after each xp spawned.

[jolly citrus]

copy pasted from another place i’ll remove that ty

[jolly citrus]

you don’t use colons in js to call methods

try something like Entity.getComponent("equippable").setEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Offhand, new ItemStack("minecraft:shield", 1))

not sure if it’s actually like that im not on pc atm

[distant tulip]

runInterval and wait for xp increase

[wary edge]

Yeah that was my original thinking.

[distant tulip]

an event for it would be nice

[jolly citrus]

Do you mean xp from experience orbs explicitly or in general whether it be from orbs or commands

[jolly citrus]

how would you prevent it from detecting the added xp to achieve the result of doubling as an increase tho

[distant tulip]

updating the old xp variable you saved

[jolly citrus]

okay but if ur gonna check for xp increases in intervals like every 1 or 2 ticks

that’s not going to prevent it from detecting the manual addition as increase

[distant tulip]

manual addition?

[jolly citrus]

he said he wants to double all the xp a player gets, no

[distant tulip]

no that should prevent it

[gusty bramble]

Just a quick one. How would I go about something like this

./HC items 100 (would multiply the 100 by 8 giving an output of “800 gt”)
And
./HC gt 80 (would divide the 80 by 8 giving an output of “10 items”)

[jolly citrus]

if a player gains a xp, add +a more xp

[jolly citrus]

what should i don’t understand what you meant by updating the old variable

by detecting the xp change you mean detecting if the amount of experience a player has has been changed since last iteration?

[jolly citrus]

exactly, so if u add any amount to xp it will trigger the interval to update oldxp again

oldxp -1
xp 0
add 2 to xp -> oldxp becomes 2
because xp changed, add the amount changed, xp becomes 4 -> okdxp becomes 4
because xp changed AGAIN (by 2), add the amount changed, xp becomes 6 -> oldxp becomes 6
and so on….

i think it wiuld get stuck in a loop like this

[distant tulip]

no?

[jolly citrus]

he said he wanted to double all the amounts of xp given

[distant tulip]

that what i did

[jolly citrus]

so it would detect +10, then give another 10, and giving this 10 would also detect the amount to be changed again and get stuck in loop

[jolly citrus]

no you added it once but you don’t include logic to add the change in amount

[distant tulip]

i did...

[jolly citrus]

where

oh

[distant tulip]

there is no loop

the value update
so the condition don't get triggered again

[jolly citrus]

oh wait right

i thought about implementing it a bit differently but now i inderstand why with ur logic it would work

[distant tulip]

yeah

[jolly citrus]

i was going to update oldxp before adding the doubled amount

[distant tulip]

you need to keep track of the amount added,, so yeah

[keen laurel]

is there any way to run a custom command using a command block... i thought chatSend would work for some reason lol

[wary edge]

Scriptevent?

[keen laurel]

ty, got it working

[simple arch]

oh wait i didn't use colons though mb

lua getting through my head

[simple arch]

but hold up. What I found weird is that the simulatedplayer not showing the equipment which it is odd

oonly armor not shields, fireworks, etc...

[ruby haven]

What does apply impulse do?

[ruby haven]

Does it do knockback

[quick shoal]

Yes

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe((event) => {
  if (event.damagingEntity.typeId == 'mz:stomp1') {
    const victim = event.hitEntity;
    const attacker = event.damagingEntity;

    if (victim && attacker) {

      const attackerPos = attacker.location;
      const victimPos = victim.location;

      const direction = {
        x: victimPos.x - attackerPos.x,
        y: 0,
        z: victimPos.z - attackerPos.z,
      };


      const magnitude = Math.sqrt(direction.x ** 2 + direction.z ** 2);
      const normalizedDirection = {
        x: direction.x / magnitude,
        y: 2,
        z: direction.z / magnitude,
      };

      const strength = 5;
      const knockback = {
        x: normalizedDirection.x * strength,
        y: normalizedDirection.y * strength,
        z: normalizedDirection.z * strength,
      };

      victim.applyImpulse(knockback);
    }
  }
});

Why is my knockback not working cause I made my boss summon another entity to do the attacking which is called mz:stomp1 and after 0.1 seconds that entity disappear is that the reason why my knockback system is not working?the entity disappears before the script runs

[quick shoal]

Wait I check it

[dim tusk]

Is this valid in runJob? I genuinely don't know how to use this thing.

system.runJob(function* test() {
   yield
});```

[quick shoal]

Wow I never see the things like this

[slow walrus]

add a () after the function definition

so it's like

system.runJob(function*(){}())

you gotta call it to get the generator which the runJob uses

[dim tusk]

Thank you

[ruby haven]

Does anyone have a better idea than this

[ruby haven]

What is better to use apply knockback or apply impulse?

[warm mason]

Depends on the tasks

[ruby haven]

Well my goal is this

A boss that stomps and knockbacks players away from it

[warm mason]

applyKnockback at least because applyImpulse does not work on players

[ruby haven]

I see thanks I'll try and change this code that I made

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

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe((event) => {
  if (event.damagingEntity.typeId == 'mz:stomp1') {
    const victim = event.hitEntity;
    if (victim) {
      victim.applyKnockback(0, 0, 0, 10, 0);
    }
  }
});

I tried simplyfiying the code to just make the players upwards but it doesn't work can you see why?

[warm mason]

Because you need to carefully read the documentation

[proud saddle]

you have more parameters for the method than it should have

[warm mason]

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

[ruby haven]

Oh I see I thought there is a y value hahaha thanks

[proud saddle]

just delete one zero

[warm mason]

directionX, directionZ, horizontalStrength, verticalStrength

[proud saddle]

yeah

[ruby haven]

Ill try it now

[proud saddle]

verticalStrength has an exponential graph

[proud saddle]

not linear
you should take this into account

[ruby haven]

So I should add at least a little bit value to the directions or the horizontal strength?

[proud saddle]

i think maybe

[ruby haven]

Thanks

[proud saddle]

applyKnockback is cursed
but suitable for single hits

[ruby haven]

It still doesn't work I tried it 😭

[warm mason]

code

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe((event) => {
  if (event.damagingEntity.typeId == 'mz:stomp1') {
    const victim = event.hitEntity;
    if (victim) {
      victim.applyKnockback(1, 1, 10, 5);
    }
  }
});

[ruby haven]

My entity is using area attack does that count as entity hit?

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[warm mason]

However no

[ruby haven]

Then why doesn't this work? 😭😭

[warm mason]

I tested this not long ago, and it doesn’t work very well here either.

[thorn flicker]

use entityHurt instead then.

[ruby haven]

Can I be able to detect the attacker?

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[ruby haven]

Okay I'll try

[warm mason]

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

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(({ damageSource, hurtEntity }) => {
  if (damageSource.damagingEntity.typeId == 'mz:stomp1') {
    const victim = hurtEntity;
    if (victim) {
      victim.applyKnockback(1, 1, 10, 5);
    }
  }
});

It is working sometimes and sometimes not but for other entities there are times it gets delayed also for player

[jade grail]

in a entityhurt event how do i get how much damage is getting dealt

[ruby haven]

There is a damage argument you can use

[jade grail]

how?

[warm mason]

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

[jade grail]

thanks

[ruby haven]

Can you check the reason here serty

[jade grail]

i needed it so i could make a damage indicator

[ruby haven]

Bro you're making slime addon

[jade grail]

ye

[ruby haven]

In this script it is throwing this error :

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: cannot read property 'typeId' of undefined at <anonymous> (win/smile.js:5)

[warm mason]

Read the error

[ruby haven]

I think the reason is it is checking entities that got hurt that was not cause by the damaging.entity?

[warm mason]

Right!

[pallid portal]

(begrudgingly new at scripting)

How does one set up an addon to begin using scripts?
(please do correct me if I am wrong)

• add a script module in the manifest (of the behaviour pack only)
• also add a decency for @minecraft server (for some reason...)
• create a folder for scripts
• make a main.js file (to 'subscribe' whatever scripts that needs to be subscribed in the game for your addon to work)

then make whatever script files you need... right?

( and unless need be, you do not have to enable Beta API to do scripting in general?)
(and those who may be more of a hobbyist or a dabbler, could they skip the npm setup?)

[warm mason]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/starting-scripts.html

[pallid portal]

that sadly does not answer the question.

That only spoonfeeds how to make a script file that spams "Hello World"

And not how said script file can be applied to anything in a addon.
Namely, subscribe a different script file for a block event (ex. a player interacts with "Block X" while holding an axe, and it is replaced with "Block Y". aka a stripped log event)

[warm mason]

It talks about the base. How to connect the script. This site also has a little more about scripts. To connect 1 more file you need to learn import in js. The documentation itself, which describes all the methods and capabilities here

[pallid portal]

The link provided sadly does not explian how to import js files. Not even contain a link to it.

It just lists a whole bunch of information. None of which is helpful to explaining how to solve the question.

[warm mason]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import

[pallid portal]

a russain doc... why?

Imma rather leave this channel.
Seems like it does not help at all with a person looking to learn.
And not be sent on goose chases while at it.

[warm mason]

Auto translation. I have already changed the link

[warm mason]

Well, or I can help you with writing a script, just explain what you need

[distant gulch]

I would go to mcpedl, go to scripts section and download anything that catches your attention

Then open those files and try changing things around

That helps with codon

[pallid portal]

codon?

I'll have a look, thank you.

[distant tulip]

that is the slowest way of learning

[untold magnet]

uh, just to make sure
const slot = inv?.getSlot('Mainhand'); is how i can get itemStack slot, right?

[distant tulip]

isn't getSlot argument an index

[untold magnet]

i want to replace the itemStack, not detects it

[untold magnet]

just like slot?.setItem(new ItemStack(,,,))

[distant tulip]

no that return the slot
use getItem

also it uses an index (number)

[untold magnet]

i cant replace the item using getItem

i had to use getSlot

[distant tulip]

why not

[untold magnet]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({target: entity, itemStack, player}) => {
  const inv = player?.getComponent('minecraft:inventory')?.container;
  const slot = inv?.getSlot('Mainhand');
  if (entity?.typeId === 'my:entity') if (itemStack?.typeId === 'minecraft:raw_iron') slot?.setItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:raw_copper', 1));
})```just replacing the item after interacting with the entity, after interacting with it, it will replace the item that u are holding with another item.

[warm mason]

const slot = inv?.getSlot(player.selectedSlotIndex);

[distant tulip]

i mean why do you even need to get the slot
just set it directly

[warm mason]

?

[untold magnet]

how?,,

[warm mason]

setItem() getItem()

[untold magnet]

ah, i thought theres a better way

[untold magnet]

inv?.setItem(player?.selectedSlotIndex, new ItemStack('minecraft:raw_copper', 1));.

[autumn seal]

I didn't mean to send that

[sterile epoch]

how do I make something in a script run through a command?

i want it to when a person is standing in a certain area it runs a script. but in a command block so it doesn't cause lag with system run interval

[gusty bramble]

Has anyone got any ideas?

I’m not the best at this lol

[chilly fractal]

Elaborate, explain what you mean

What am I supposed to think of when you say "./HC gt 8"

[warm mason]

You should read his mind, that's obvious

[chilly fractal]

Yeah my bad

[sterile epoch]

how do I use script events?

[chilly fractal]

/scriptevent namespace:id message

[warm mason]

A new version 1.18.0-beta has been released for documentation. There's nothing new there...

[chilly fractal]

Nvm

[warm mason]

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

[warm mason]

Nothing new in changelog 1.18.0-beta

[sterile epoch]

oh, it wasn't working because I misspelt it

[chilly fractal]

Yeah yeah I now understand

[gusty bramble]

Ok well

My idea is to make a command to calculate the amount of time X amount of items will add up in a hopper counter. Or if you specify the amount of game ticks it will tell you how many items you need to got that time

So the math for that is this

Items > game ticks

[items] x8 = [game ticks]

game ticks > items

[game ticks] ÷8 = [items]

[warm mason]

Well, let's start with the fact that custom commands are impossible

[gusty bramble]

No it’s not? My addon literally uses ./ for everything

[chilly fractal]

//Command
player.sendMessage(`Game ticks: ${itemsCount*8}`);

// Another Command
player.sendMessage(`Items: ${gameTicks/8}`);```

[gusty bramble]

Thx

[chilly fractal]

You're welcome

[warm mason]

You can't trust anyone, not even documentation

[wooden zealot]

Is it possible to spawn a mob tamed to the player

[unique dragon]

yes

[warm mason]

function spawnTamedEntity(entityId, location, player) {
  let entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity(entityId, location)
  entity.getComponent("tameable")?.tame(player)
  return entity
}  

[warm mason]

You're a little late ;)

[unique dragon]

[wooden zealot]

import { world, system } from '@minecraft/server';
import { tameableMobs } from 'api/utils/lists'; // Corrected import path

function spawnMob(player, entityName, isMountable) {
  const location = player.location;
  const dimension = player.dimension; // Get the player's dimension
  const entity = dimension.spawnEntity(entityName, location); // Spawn the specific mob

  // Tame the entity to the player
  const tameableComponent = entity.getComponent("tameable");
  if (tameableComponent) {
    tameableComponent.tame(player);
  }

  const type = isMountable ? "Mount" : "Pet";
  player.runCommandAsync(`tellraw @a {"rawtext":[{"text":"Your ${entityName.replace("lycanite:", "")} has been bound, you will now find it in your ${type} Manager."}]}`);
  
  return entity; // Return the entity
}

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(event => {
  const player = event.source;
  const item = event.itemStack;
  const itemId = item.typeId;

  const mobs = tameableMobs[itemId];
  if (!mobs) return;

  const mob = mobs[Math.floor(Math.random() * mobs.length)];
  spawnMob(player, mob.name, mob.is_mountable);

  // Remove the soulstone from the player's inventory
  player.runCommandAsync(`clear @s ${itemId} 1`);
});
 

i tried it but the mob dosent spawned tamed

[warm mason]

How did you test its tameness?

Well, then most likely it cannot be tamed, because getComponent() gives undefined, because the mob does not have a component

[wooden zealot]

i hit an entity and it didnt start attacking it

however when i hit it it dosent attack me

2 secs

[warm mason]

Your entity code

[wooden zealot]

wait nvm its attacking me

i tried using entity events aswell but it didnt work

wait now its tamed

gimme a sec

what does the error mean

[chilly fractal]

THERE IS AN IMPOSTER BETWEEN US!

[jolly citrus]

why do i have to run /reload every time i start up my world

if i don't the bp doesn't take efffect

[meager pulsar]

can functions run with runJob returns values somehow?

[fiery solar]

This usually happens because your initialization logic is expecting the world to be more loaded than it is.

What do the content logs say?

[distant gulch]

Anyone down to work with me on learning to use Script API to the fullest extent?

[fiery solar]

You can wrap them in a promise to make them a regular async function. What kind of value do you want to return?

[alpine nebula]

How can I disable block from dropping loot if it was blown up by explosion?

Like TNT do

[distant gulch]

What's the difference between system.run, system.timeout, system.waitTicks, etc?

[distant tulip]

remove the block from the effected blocks array and set it to air

[jolly citrus]

how do i set a player's view direction

[distant tulip]

tp

[fiery solar]

system.runTimeout calls your callback function after a specific number of ticks. system.run does it as soon as possible (usually the same tick or the next tick). system.waitTicks is used in async functions to wait a certain number of ticks.

[jolly citrus]

i'll try to check that the next time i rejoin

[jolly citrus]

without overriding velocity

[alpine nebula]

Is it possible to make it using world.afterEvents.blockExplode?

[distant tulip]

beforeevent

[distant tulip]

not possible

[distant gulch]

Can I ask what the difference between async and regular commands are?
And do I just do runInterval at 0 to make something constant?

[meager pulsar]

I want to search the nearest block of a certain in an area, of all the blocks of that id

[jolly citrus]

ok how to set view direction tho

do i need to use commands

[meager pulsar]

Their location

Like detect id there are logs in a cube around a certain location

Return true or false depending on that

[jolly citrus]

asynchronous functions will not block the rest of the thread from running, hence the name asynchronous, it will not be in sync with the rest of your code

[distant gulch]

Alr, when does that come in useful?

[jolly citrus]

in scenarios where you want to wait before executing something without also waiting for the other things to execute

and there's some things that will take a lot of time to process and sometimes you wanna handle those asynchronously

to prevent other things from slowing down

in other programs api requests are commonly asynchronous, because otherwise the rest of ur code would be blocked from running further until a response is given

[meager pulsar]

How many jobs can I have running at a time?

[unique acorn]

difference between runCommand and runCommandAsync?

[jolly citrus]

hit.setRotation({x: -180, y: hit.getRotation().y})

why does this not do anything

[fiery solar]

Some commands take more time to run than others. runCommand will block the script engine until the command returns. runCommandAsync returns a promise that resolves when the command is done so you can keep running other code.

[jolly citrus]

when i apply the rotation through .teleport it works perfectly fine

but not this way

[distant gulch]

Thanks @jolly citrus

[unique acorn]

thanks

[jolly citrus]

ur welcome

[distant gulch]

One last question for everyone for at least 3 minutes

What's the diff between applyImpulse and applyKnockback

I've never used applyImpulse

and am not even sure how to

Because I use applyKnockback to create dashing

[jolly citrus]

applyImpulse is only applicable to entities that are not players, applyKnockback is the opposite

[distant gulch]

Ah

[jolly citrus]

idk about the values though

[distant gulch]

Alright

[jolly citrus]

it works a bit differently

[distant gulch]

Works for me

Thanks

Can I use runInterval(() => {
blah blah blah
}, 0);

For a constant run?

[fiery solar]

Yeah, that would run it every tick. Just make sure you actually need to run your code every tick and can't get away with a longer interval. This is one of the most common performance issues.

[distant gulch]

alright

thanks

[slim hamlet]

anyone has an idea why the getEntitiesFromRay doesnt work properly in this case?

export default function ({block}) {
    const state = block.permutation.getState('minecraft:cardinal_direction')
    let direction = {}
    switch (state) {
        case "north":
            direction = { x: 0, y: 0, z: -1 };
            break;        
        case "south":
            direction = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 };
            break;        
        case "west":
            direction = { x: -1, y: 0, z: 0 };
            break;
        case "east":
            direction = { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 };
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
    const entities = block.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay(block.location, direction,{maxDistance:10})
    console.warn(entities.length);
    for (const entity of entities) console.warn(entity.distance);
}```

[dim tusk]

It's broken for players

[neat hazel]

Is it possible to detect if the player is walking forward or backward?

[remote oyster]

Check their movement and the direction they are facing.

[neat hazel]

How can I do this? I'm a beginner in the subject

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        let { forward, right, backward, left } = direction(player);
        let text = ''
        if (forward > 0) {
           text = 'forward';
        } else if (left > 0) {
           text = 'left';
        } else if (right > 0) {
           text = 'right';
        } else if (backward > 0) {
           text = 'backward';
        } else return;
        player.sendMessage(text);
    }
})

function direction(player) {
    let velocity = player.getVelocity();
    let viewDirection = player.getViewDirection();

    let viewDirMagnitude = Math.sqrt(viewDirection.x ** 2 + viewDirection.z ** 2);
    let normalizedViewDir = { x: viewDirection.x / viewDirMagnitude, z: viewDirection.z / viewDirMagnitude };

    let forwardVelocity = (velocity.x * normalizedViewDir.x + velocity.z * normalizedViewDir.z);
    let rightVelocity = (velocity.z * normalizedViewDir.x - velocity.x * normalizedViewDir.z);

    let backwardVelocity = -forwardVelocity; 
    let leftVelocity = -rightVelocity; 
    
    forwardVelocity = Math.round(forwardVelocity * 100) / 100;
    rightVelocity = Math.round(rightVelocity * 100) / 100;
    backwardVelocity = Math.round(backwardVelocity * 100) / 100;
    leftVelocity = Math.round(leftVelocity * 100) / 100;
    return {
        forward: forwardVelocity,
        right: rightVelocity,
        backward: backwardVelocity,
        left: leftVelocity
    };
}```

This works very fine to me.

[neat hazel]

Thnk u

[dim tusk]

Btw soon this would be useless cause there's a more accurate way but it's currently in preview

It can detect wasd up and down button even if we disabled it's movement

[neat hazel]

Oh, that's great. I'm waiting.

[distant gulch]

Can you make double jumps with script api?

Well, specifically air-jumps (as many as I want to add)

Less about that now

[tawny jungle]

is there any way i can append the contents of an array to the bottom of another array?

[distant gulch]

More about how to detect when an elytra is being used

[slow walrus]

front or back, not bottom

you mean back right?

[distant gulch]

In javascript, if I remember correctly, there's something called push for an array

[tawny jungle]

yes

[distant gulch]

Where it pushes certain contents to the front of an arrow

array*

[slow walrus]

const array1 = [1,2,3]
const array2 = [4,5,6]

array1.push(...array2) // [1,2,3,4,5,6]

[tawny jungle]

thats what is so weird

this is what i used:

var vanillaEquippableIds = [
...
]
export const mBEquippableIds = [
    vanillaEquippableIds.push(mBTypeIds)
]```

[slow walrus]

tf

why do you have a random spread in an empty array?

[tawny jungle]

wdym

[slow walrus]

and you need to spread the mbTypeIds (assuming it's also an array)

oh wait what

wtf

what are you even doing there lmao

[tawny jungle]

the "..." was just so that i didn't have to copy all the contents of the array

[slow walrus]

ah right

well

first, you're not even correctly pusing mBTypeIds onto vanillaEquibbableIds. right now you're pushin the entire array onto it, instead of it's items

second, that will put it int vanillaEquippableIds, not your new array

[tawny jungle]

i see

[slow walrus]

use this

import { mBTypeIds } from "./mBTypeIds.js";
var vanillaEquippableIds = [
// ...
]
export const mBEquippableIds = [
    ...vanillaEquippableIds,
    ...mBTypeIds
]

that will spread both arrays into the new one

[tawny jungle]

ah, i didn't realized i needed to spread it

thanks

that worked great

[distant gulch]

Guys, why is the server-net module* only for BDS?

[quick shoal]

Did U find the reason for my code?

[distant gulch]

Ohh, i completely forgot you

wait

[warm mason]

If you don't have internet, you won't be able to use it.

[quick shoal]

Mvm

[warm mason]

And maybe some data can be read by the person who created the addon, and this already looks like a virus

[distant gulch]

hmmm okay

[misty pivot]

how would i applyImpulse an entity towards the player?

[warm mason]

let strength = 2
player.applyKnockback(direction.x, direction.z, strength, direction.y*strength)

[misty pivot]

how about applyImpulse? that's applyKnockack, which doesn't work for items as i tried

[warm mason]

code

Do you need an item lying on the ground to be attracted to the player?

[misty pivot]

entity.applyImpulse(-player.getViewDirection())```

[misty pivot]

yep

[warm mason]

😌

Well. You need to make a determination of direction and distance

[misty pivot]

do you perhaps know the formula?

[warm mason]

Apparently I should still give people this function.....

[misty pivot]

the applyknockback earlier?

[warm mason]

function getDirection(vector1, vector2) {
  let distance = Math.sqrt((vector1.x-vector2.x)**2 + (vector1.y-vector2.y)**2 + (vector1.z-vector2.z)**2) || 0.001
  let direction = {
    x: (vector2.x-vector1.x)/distance,
    y: (vector2.y-vector1.y)/distance,
    z: (vector2.z-vector1.z)/distance
  }
  return direction
}

[misty pivot]

ah i see

thanks

[quick shoal]

What means of sqrt?

[dim tusk]

square root of a number.

[quick shoal]

Oh

[dense sun]

are there any functions i can use to find out the performance ?

[warm mason]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1281437513675964446

[dense sun]

let lastDate = Date.now()
let TPS = 20;
system.runInterval(() => {
    itemMechanics()
    const currDate = Date.now();
    TPS = tickspeed * 50 / (currDate - lastDate) * 20
    lastDate = currDate
    console.error(TPS)
}, tickspeed
)

i used this it prints 0

[slow walrus]

currDate - lastDate is in milliseconds so you need to / 1000 to convert to seconds

[distant tulip]

0/1000 is still 0
also no one test performance in seconds
unless you are a python user

[slow walrus]

they're calculating ticks per second

[slow walrus]

what is your tickspeed variable set to?

[dense sun]

0 i made it 1 so it got fixed

[slow walrus]

:l

[last latch]

is it somehow possible to detect if the player after joining is valid to hear sounds?

i want to play a sound after joining but i need to use a timeout

because sounds are played after rendering the world. The player is valid after joining

[untold magnet]

uh

if (eEntity?.typeId?.startsWith('exe:')) return; shouldn't work on entities that starts with 'exe:' right?

it works on them, somehow

[last latch]

correct

[dim tusk]

Yeah, nothing too crazy tho

[last latch]

is the typeId defined?

or the eEntity itself

[dim tusk]

No I guess? Since we can't even detect sound in the first place

[last latch]

i thought of a variable or a method to detect that

[dim tusk]

And what is it?

[untold magnet]

system.runInterval(() => {
  count++;
  let slots = 0;
  const dimension = ['overworld', 'nether', 'the_end'].map(dim => {
    for (const entity of world.getDimension(dim).getEntities()) {
      if (entity?.typeId === 'my:entity' && entity?.isValid()) {
        const dim = entity?.dimension;
        const loc = entity?.location;
        const entities = dim?.getEntities({location: loc, maxDistance: 18});
        entities?.forEach((eEntity => {
          if (eEntity?.typeId.startsWith('exe:')) return;
        }));
      };
    };
  });
});```this is all

[last latch]

i only thought that a variable or method existed.

i tried catching and tryTeleport

but both execute without errors

so i guess it isnt possible

[dim tusk]

Did you try to run a code to entities that starts with exe?

if (eEntity.typeId.startsWith('exe:')) {
   console.error('bruh');
}```

[untold magnet]

literally bruh

[untold magnet]

uh, can i use this entity?.dimension.getEntities({location: loc, maxDistance: 1, type: '' ← ←}); to make it not working for a specific entities?

cuz that return thing isn't working, somehow

[warm mason]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(data => {
  if (!data.initialSpawn) return
  data.player.playSound("soundName")
})

[untold magnet]

hmm,

[untold magnet]

@warm mason return is not returning in my script

[warm mason]

Do console.warn(eEntity.typeId)

[last latch]

what?

why did you send me a script for checking if the player joined

[warm mason]

Well, you need to play the sound when you join

[last latch]

i asked for a method or variable to check if the player is able to hear sounds

[last latch]

yuh, but with a delay

[warm mason]

This one doesn't exist

[warm mason]

For what

[last latch]

players dont hear anything when they join

after some time they start to hear

or render the game

[warm mason]

playerSpawn - event when a player spawns. He can do anything

Well, you can set the delay for a second just in case

[last latch]

yeah i can, but i want it to be delay to the time the player can hear

sometime the device can lag and take more than a second

[last latch]

Well it doesnt work like that.

AfterEvents.PlayerSpawned(({ player, playerJoined }) => {
    if (!playerJoined) return;

    player.hud.setTitle(
        titleGreeting,
        {
            subtitle: subtitleGreeting,
            fadeInDuration: 10,
            fadeOutDuration: 10,
            stayDuration: 20 * 10
        }
    );

    player.playSound("random.levelup");
});

this is what i use

[warm mason]

OK I'll check it out

[last latch]

the sound is not being heard

[untold magnet]

if (eEntity?.typeId?.startsWith('exe:')) console.warn('isWorking'); is working

[warm mason]

What is "playerJoined"?

[last latch]

a property

[untold magnet]

but return is not

[subtle cove]

it's initialSpawn

[last latch]

yea

i use RockWrap

[warm mason]

He uses his mega library

[subtle cove]

Ok

[last latch]

true

[subtle cove]

Might have to extend the durations

[last latch]

do you mean the title?

or the delay between playing the sound and jjoining

[subtle cove]

Have u tried extending it?

[last latch]

what do you mean by extending it?

[subtle cove]

Like 30 40

[last latch]

the delay? as in system.runTimeout?

[subtle cove]

Fade delay

[last latch]

the title is not the problem

the playSound is the problem

[subtle cove]

Ok, u can try runTimeout on playSound

[last latch]

i did

and it works

but it is risky

depends on how much time it takes the device to render the game

i guess will need to stick with timeouts

[untold magnet]

system.runInterval(() => {
  count++;

[last latch]

how do you know it isnt returning?

[untold magnet]

lemme edit it really quick

[untold magnet]

the entity that is starts with exe: is getting the effects too

[dim tusk]

Just put them inside of {}, there fixes your problem

The warning shows up right?

[untold magnet]

yes

[last latch]

erm

you first check if the entity is my:entity

[untold magnet]

like if (!eEntity.typeId.startsWith('exe:')) { effects }?

[last latch]

is that correct?

[untold magnet]

it is

[distant gulch]

What's wrong here?

const playerGrab = world.getPlayers()
playerGrab.forEach((e) => {
    if (e.isGliding) {
        if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("doubleJump").getScore(e) <= 8) {
            e.applyKnockback(e.getViewDirection().x, e.getViewDirection().z, 0.3, 3.5);
            world.scoreboard.getObjective("doubleJump").addScore(e.source, 1);
            e.runCommand("clear @s elytra");
            system.runTimeout(() => {
                e.runCommand("replaceitem entity @s slot.armor.chest elytra");
            }, 2)
        }
    }
})

[dim tusk]

There's two things

It checks the entities, if the entity exists another array of entities but certain distance but it checks if entities have id starts with exe:

So I don't think he did something wrong here. He also said that the warning shows up it just doesn't return

[subtle cove]

addScore(e, 1)

[untold magnet]

warn is warning when it found an entity that starts with exe:
but it's not returning, and keep giving them the effects

[distant gulch]

Oh, yeah, forgot this isn't an itemUse

Thanks!

Is that the only thing wrong?

[dim tusk]

I already told you just put them inside of {}

[untold magnet]

I'll try it

[dim tusk]

if (!eEntity.typeId.startsWith('exe')) {
}```

[untold magnet]

stills giving them the effects

startsWith is broken

I'll use other method

later

[subtle cove]

Remove the code if it's still doing it

Ight be a different file

[dim tusk]

I don't think it's really broken, if yes try eEntity.typeId.includes('exe:')

[untold magnet]

not working either

I'll try the other method later.

it will work, 100%

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
  count++;
  const dimension = ['overworld', 'nether', 'the_end'].map(dim => {
    for (const entity of world.getDimension(dim).getEntities()) {
      if (entity?.typeId === 'my:entity' && entity?.isValid()) {
        const dim = entity?.dimension;
        const loc = entity?.location;
        const entities = dim?.getEntities({ location: loc, maxDistance: 18 });
        entities?.forEach(eEntity => {
          if (eEntity?.typeId.startsWith('exe:')) {
            console.warn('a');
            return;
          }
          eEntity?.addEffect('nausea', TicksPerSecond * 10, { amplifier: 0, showParticles: false });
        });
      }
    }
  });
});

I just realized, the return is almost equivalent to continue in your case

entities?.filter(eEntity => !eEntity?.typeId.startsWith('exe:'))
  .forEach(eEntity => {
    eEntity?.addEffect('nausea', TicksPerSecond * 10, { amplifier: 0, showParticles: false });
  });

[last latch]

almost?

isnt that the same?

[dim tusk]

The continue if for a loop

[last latch]

yeah

i would say in that case it is 1:1 like ccontinue

[dim tusk]

And certainly they're not the same

[last latch]

true

[dim tusk]

Continue skips the rest of the code in the current iteration of a loop and moves to the next iteration while return exits it early and immediately

[last latch]

yeah

i said that return in that case is like continue

i never said that return is continue

[dim tusk]

.

[last latch]

i meant

that not almost

but 1:1

like it working 1:1 in his case

my bad

sorry

[dim tusk]

I gave an explanation to that, before you said it's almost a 1:1

[last latch]

yea

my bad

i will try explaining/asking more clearly next time

[dim tusk]

Nah it's good, everything's good

[untold magnet]

i will remake it once again, its really bugged,

[distant gulch]

I'm having trouble here

I want something to be active for every player

but this isn't doing that

const playerGrab = world.getPlayers()
playerGrab.forEach((e) => {

The inputs I have in the forEach function aren't being run constantly

or maybe just aren't beiing run on the players in the world

[fiery solar]

This code should run one time for each player. Do you have it in a loop?

[alpine nebula]

What am I doing wrong? I want to read some permutations from block before it explodes but I'm getting this error:

[warm mason]

block.permutation.getState('cardinal_direction');

[subtle cove]

is it in system.runInterval()?

[alpine nebula]

It still gives me undefined

[wary edge]

Whats line 110?

[alpine nebula]

This one:
entity.setProperty(entityRotationPermutation, cardinalToRotationTable[blockCardinalDirection]);

It causes errors because blockCardinalDirection is undefined

[wary edge]

Not all blocks have a cardinal direction.

[alpine nebula]

The block I'm checking for should

[wary edge]

Other blocks might be impacted.

[alpine nebula]

Doesn't const impactedBombBlocks = explodeEvent.getImpactedBlocks().filter(b => b.typeId === blockID) filter it?
(const blockID = 'nubs:atomic_bomb_block';)

[wary edge]

One sure fire way is log the type id in each loop 🙂 .

[subtle cove]

what's its all states look like in script?

[alpine nebula]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wary edge]

Theres your issue.

[subtle cove]

uhm, that block instance turns air inside the system.run
thats why its typeId is air and has no cardinal_direction

[subtle cove]

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe(explodeEvent => {
    // Trigger an explosion if the bomb block has been blown up
    const impactedBombBlocks = explodeEvent.getImpactedBlocks().reduce((array, block) => {

            console.log(`test: ${JSON.stringify(permutation.getAllStates())}`);

            // create rotation table for entities
            const cardinalToRotation = cardinalToRotationTable[permutation.getState('minecraft:cardinal_direction')];

            // remove block
            block.setType("air");
            query.location = { x, y, z };
            // kill dropped loot
            const drop = dim.getEntities(query)[0];

```idk if the `drop.kill()` would work properly tho

[sharp elbow]

If not, I expect that drop.remove would

[alpine nebula]

Thank you, that perfectly works!

[jolly citrus]

that was indeed it; i'm trying to load the container of a block that has not yet been loaded at the top of a script, how do i fix it tho

[distant gulch]

Ah, no I dont. Would the easiest way to loop just be something like this?

server.runInterval(() => {
  code here
}, 0);

[distant gulch]

No, if I put it in one, will it be fixed?

And can I put 0 as the interval, or does it need to be 1

[warm mason]

✅

[distant gulch]

Alright bet, thanks!

[fiery solar]

0 and 1 are the same. They both run every tick. The only difference is that 0 starts running on the current tick and 1 starts on the next tick

[distant gulch]

Ah, I see

Thanks

I'm making a combat system

I've made two moves for a sword, double jumps, dashes, teleports

Very fun

[untold magnet]

uh, is the world.getDimension({ matchAll('all 3 dimensions') }) a thing?

i mean is it a better way to get all 3 dimensions at once?

cuz i wanna get all 3 dimensions without putting it inside of a loop

[jolly citrus]

is playerInteractWithBlock the only event called when a player right clicks a chest

or bed etc

[distant gulch]

This isn't working:

system.runInterval(() => {
    playerGrab.forEach((e) => {
        if (e.isGliding) {
            if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("doubleJump").getScore(e) <= 7) {
                e.applyKnockback(e.getViewDirection().x, e.getViewDirection().z, 0.3, 3.5);
                world.scoreboard.getObjective("doubleJump").addScore(e, 1);
                e.runCommand("clear @s elytra");
                system.runTimeout(() => {
                    e.runCommand("replaceitem entity @s slot.armor.chest elytra");
                }, 2)
            }
        }
    })
}, 0)

Is this something wrong with this code?

I'm gliding, and nothing is happening

[warm mason]

system.runInterval(() => {
    world.getAllPlayers().forEach((e) => {
        if (e.isGliding) {
            if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("doubleJump").getScore(e) <= 7) {
                e.applyKnockback(e.getViewDirection().x, e.getViewDirection().z, 0.3, 3.5);

            }
        }
    })
})```

[distant gulch]

What did you change?

[distant gulch]

What was changed?

Oh you changedfor getAllPlayers

[distant gulch]

I had it as getPlayers

Oh yes, I never added that to showcase

You also removed the 0 in the system.runInterval

does that also make it every tick>

?*

[warm mason]

yes

[distant gulch]

Alright

Thanks, I'll test it

[untold magnet]

is there any better way to const dimension = ['overworld', 'nether', 'the_end'].map(dim => {
for (const entity of world.getDimension(dim).getEntities()) { get all 3 dimensions without putting it inside of a loop like that?

[warm mason]

no

[jolly citrus]

does container.addItem() return undefined if the item wasn't able to be added for reasons such as the container being full?

[warm mason]

Most likely yes

[jolly citrus]

does it return the itemstack or undefined if it was full

i feel like it would return it back if it couldn't be added

i'm going to try that first

weird that the documentation doesn't include which one is returned when

[warm mason]

I think it will increase the itemStack that ended up (for example 3 stones + 3 stones = 6 stones)

[fiery solar]

The scoreboard value could be wrong. In fact, it's not a great idea to use a scoreboard for this at all. What exactly are you trying to do? Let a player boost without using a firework a certain number of times while gliding?

[distant gulch]

No, I'm trying to create a double-jump

When you press space in air, it glides

I want it to boost you up with knockback

remove your elytra

and give it back

I have the scoreboard so they can only airjump 8 times

[fiery solar]

Does applyKnockback not work when gliding? Either way I think the issue here is that you're only doing the knock back if the player is sneaking, jumping and on the ground. Don't you want !e.isOnGround?

[distant gulch]

No, that part is the dash

world.getAllPlayers().forEach((e) => {
        world.sendMessage("loop works");
        if (e.isGliding) {
            if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("doubleJump").getScore(e) <= 7) {
                e.applyKnockback(e.getViewDirection().x, e.getViewDirection().z, 0.3, 3.5);
                world.scoreboard.getObjective("doubleJump").addScore(e, 1);
                e.runCommand("clear @s elytra");
                system.runTimeout(() => {
                    e.runCommand("replaceitem entity @s slot.armor.chest elytra");
                }, 2)
            }
        }
    })

This is the double jump

Can someone help me with this error: "[SCP-Project Orgon BP - 1.0.0] - [main.js] ran with error: [SyntaxError: Invalid Redefinition of lexical identifier at clicks/lever.js:37]

No

[autumn seal]

I see

youre redefining a constant though?

[distant gulch]

I thought case was their own pieces of code so I didnt know if they could be accessed outside of each case

[autumn seal]

is it possible switch cases arent block independent unless you wrap them with {}

have you tried

        //logic
    }
    case 'south': {
       //logic
    }
}```

[distant gulch]

no

[warm mason]

Why use switch/case if there is if/else

[distant gulch]

Easier for me

[warm mason]

Moreover, your code is quite monotonous, it is easier for you to substitute variables than to write a separate piece for each case

[distant gulch]

Oh it is because i redeclared it

[distant tulip]

in js inside a switch statement all case blocks share the same scope unless explicitly wrapped in their own block (using {})
so that is invalid redefinition of the variable
keep in mind a scope can access the parent scope variables but not the other way around

[autumn seal]

wrap them individually

both cases

[distant gulch]

Ive only just started script API a week ago so I'm very new

[wary edge]

I believe most langaues yes.

[distant tulip]

yeah
i can't speak in general

[warm mason]

just use if/else and be happy

[autumn seal]

I thought that was the case but I don't really use switch cases often

[distant gulch]

Nah I'd case

[distant tulip]

you did the same thing
i said they share the same scope

[warm mason]

Use if/else - no no no
suffer with switch/case - yes, that’s our opinion.

[distant gulch]

Idk what coding scope is

[autumn seal]

can you send the code

of your example

[distant gulch]

Switch is easier for me cus it's less time consuming

[distant tulip]

he didn't even get into the weird part of switch statement

[warm mason]

let a = 1
let a = 1
// Dublicate variables

{
  let a = 1
}
{ 
  let a = 1
}
// Not dublicate

[autumn seal]

dublicate

I like how that sounds

[distant gulch]

Ahh

I understand it now

[warm mason]

Yes, especially that break at the end

and one field for all cases

Very convenient

[distant gulch]

Here script

my brain just auto type
const h = help=="hi"?"2":help=="hello"?"":undefined

[meager pulsar]

idk what system,run is for

it is kinda "useless" outside before events

So uh fixed the bug that broke it by wrapping it in {} and it does calculate correctly I'm just having trouble making it a toggle

The Lever

The Third Block

[untold magnet]

hmmm

[distant gulch]

Oh wait nvm my dumby self just set both of them to the same state 😭

But also swapped the way the toggle worked hence why it didn't place redstone on the first press

[keen laurel]

How do you get the name of a chest when it has already been placed?

[warm mason]

No way

[keen laurel]

unlucky lol

[autumn seal]

?

[pallid portal]

If a script has a custom component for a block using the interaction function.

Is there a way that allows the player to place a block while looking at this block instead of attempting the interaction which would fail anyways?

[warm mason]

use playerInteractWithBlock

And read this -> https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1309136217996005377

[pallid portal]

so replace "onPlayerInteract" with "playerInteractWithBlock"?

[pallid portal]

sadly, doing so broke the code.
The interaction fails and the block still attempts interactions instead of placing a block.

[warm mason]

show code

[wary edge]

No unfortunately.

[warm mason]

no..

you need to use world.baforeEvents.playerIntercactWithBlock

[pallid portal]

this is the version with the "playerInteractWithBlock" in place of "onPlayerInteract"

[pallid portal]

This is why I asked to confirm.

I would not know otherwise what it means to "use playerInteractWithBlock"

[warm mason]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(data => {
  // Code
}) 

If the interaction is successful, then enter data.cancel = true

[pallid portal]

that breaks the script.

[warm mason]

And remember about the privilege system in beforeEvents

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/script-server.html#beforeevents-privilege-system

[warm mason]

How did you use it

[pallid portal]

"[Scripting][error]- TypeError: cannot read property 'registerCustomComponent' of undefined ..."

By replacing "worldInitialize" with "playerInteractWithBlock" as you demonstrated.

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(eventData => { ...
world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(data => {...

[warm mason]

because that's how you need to use it.

[pallid portal]

And the eventData vs data difference also causes errors.

[warm mason]

This is not a custom component

[pallid portal]

The thing is I intended to use it as a custom component for the block.

So I can assign this script to selected blocks. Not all blocks....

[warm mason]

This is the event that is called when the player clicks on a block

[warm mason]

You can't use this as a custom component.

by giving I will give you an example

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(data => {
  let block = data.block
  let player = data.player
  let item = data.itemStack
  if (!data.isFirstEvent) return
  if (block.typeId != "wiki:my_block") return
  if (item?.typeId != block.typeId) return

  //If the code has reached this point, then the interaction is successful
  //Cancel the block installation event (if there is one)
  data.cancel = true

  //system.run is needed to maintain privileges
  system.run(() => {
    block.setType("stone")
  })
}) 

@pallid portal

[pallid portal]

testing this code

and it is broken...

[warm mason]

Well, of course, you didn’t even change the block ID

[pallid portal]

welp...

if I set that to the block in question. It just turns the block into stone when the player tries placing the same block on it...
And it does not work with the axe.

Not only that, it still has the same issues as the previous version. Player is prevented from placing a block on them because the script attempts the interaction and failing.

I do recall a bug with the scripts where the interaction prevented players from placing blocks on them.
so it might be that?

[warm mason]

Well.. I should give up helping newbies with scripts. I'm not that patient for this

Sorry, I can't help you..

[pallid portal]

And I am sorry for being clueless.
I do appreciate the help all the same.

[wary edge]

Like I said lol.

We just need an interactable component and the issue could be solved. cough https://discord.com/channels/1138536747932864532/1263209224805159043

[pallid portal]

(mini rant at Mojang)
That is ironic how when this addon used HolidayCreatorFeatures. Players were able to place blocks and still do the interaction.
So much for the scripts being better when this feature depricated.

[wary edge]

It is technically better in terms of more capabilities. It's just missing a conditional is all.

[pallid portal]

More options but at the cost of removing features many addons relied on....

[wary edge]

Like, I wager 99% of HCF events are made better. The only one that really "suffered" was interaction.

[wary edge]

Lesson learned, don't rely on experimental.

[dim tusk]

That's okay dudee... Rest for now

Also the HCF removal thing is a long time ago and you still can't get over it?

[pallid portal]

Nope.

More like. When one wants to make something that is arbituarily similar to vanilla minecraft.
Mojang be like: "nope"

Because sure, people can make a pig dance, a block change colour when you step on it, or make a cake explode by feeding it to a rabbit.
But heaven forbid they want to use a feature that is not available in normal minecraft, nor in the stable features...

If everyone could simply make their own games by learning how to code. 99% of the Minecraft playerbase would have left a long time ago.

[unique dragon]

😹

[warm mason]

If you don't know how to do something in Minecraft, it doesn't mean it's impossible to do, it means you're not smart enough to figure out how to do it.

[pallid portal]

Not really.

It was a thing for years. And the change brought more annoying issues than improvements.

[dim tusk]

Here comes the yapping ughh

[wary edge]

I very much disagree, as someone who has been making addons since 2020 this is such a new era.

[dim tusk]

If you don't want to learn then don't, if you hate things because of the issues leave, if you hate it don't complain you hate it... You'll never learn if you don't want to learn, learn to adapt in the environment

[pallid portal]

I'll see myself out....

[distant tulip]

@pallid portal
what seem to be the problem?
what are you trying to do

[wary edge]

Fortunately, with this new era, beta features are shipped in small quantities making it much easier to ship to stable 🙂 .

[distant tulip]

-# deferred and editor mode

[wary edge]

Completely different things and you know it. Those two explicitly are preview only so we dont have a hcf repeat.

[distant tulip]

yeah i guess so

[pallid portal]

long story short.

I am trying to revive an addon that relied on block events (interact, destroy, and placing)
Since the old events were deprecated. I have begrudgingly turned to scripting.

The interaction aspect of the customcomponents in this case proved problematic because blocks using onPlayerInteract also prevents the player from placing blocks on them.
Because the game attempts interacting with the block, fails, and also fails to place the block.

[distant tulip]

can you send your block json file

[pallid portal]

By all means. I dont mind.

The "wood_log" is the block using the custom component.
And the "stripped_interact" is the script.

The component is meant to let the player interact with the block while holding axe to turn it into a different block.
Essentially replicating the vanilla mechanic of stripping log blocks.

But the issue here is the interaction component prevents players from placing blocks on them.

[sterile epoch]

what can i do to reduce lag in my scripts?

[wary edge]

Use the script profiler to see which parts are taking the most time.

[sterile epoch]

okay

[distant tulip]

are you using beta api

[sterile epoch]

so I just do /script profiler start in chat?

[wary edge]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scriptdevelopertools?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable#using-the-minecraft-scripting-profiler

[pallid portal]

I tried avoiding experimental features. But if need be, I can enable it.

[distant tulip]

try this out

[pallid portal]

the script is sadly not linked to the block.

So the script is seemingly running but is not responding to the block it is supposed to respond to.

The block in question now lets the player place blocks on it. But it is because it does not have the interaction function that does the log stripping.

[distant tulip]

now?

if that didn't work try this

[distant gulch]

Man you should've seen coding in 2018

[dense inlet]

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop a Bedrock server using script or run the / commands that would normally be available in the game itself?

[jolly citrus]

is there an event for detecting when a entity’s/player’s inventory is updated/a new item is received

[distant tulip]

no

[jolly citrus]

any good way to implement that then

[dim tusk]

runtInterval is your only choice

[jolly citrus]

I tried saving player inventories in a map and updating every 2 ticks checking for any changes but it’s quite slow

even with 1 player in the world it gets slowdowns constantly

5-7ms

[pallid portal]

sadly, all of these options have not worked.
They do give a hint at something that should work though.

Because the goal is for these blocks to have this interaction but also allow players to place blocks on them.
I'll tinker with things some more.

[ruby haven]

Can someone help on how to achieve an entity that takes the texture of the ground and makes it as it's own I saw this entity named Ignis that summons blocks that takes the texture of the ground sadly the addon developer used an obfuscater tool to make the code unreadable so I don't know how he did it

[wary edge]

Not possible with scriptapi to my knowledge.

[dim tusk]

I think that's not a script API thing more like a resource packs

But I'm not sure of it

[distant tulip]

the way others do it is using items equipped in hand of a custom entity

[distant tulip]

idk then
that should have worked

[frozen vine]

Is it possible to check the weather via script? For example, when it's raining and I use an item, it sends a hi in the chat.

or is it not possible?

[wary edge]

What you can do is use https://stirante.com/script/server/1.15.0/classes/WeatherChangeAfterEvent.html and set a dynamic property to the world to store the current weather.

[celest abyss]

Guys, does anyone know if it's possible to do a structure load, and after a few seconds it disappears and the world returns to its original state?

[frozen vine]

This is stable?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[distant gulch]

Is this something I can do?

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((e) => {
    if (e.itemStack.typeId == "minecraft:anvil") {
        e.source.applyKnockback(e.source.getViewDirection().x, e.source.getViewDirection().z, 0, -Infinity);
    }
})

[jolly citrus]

is it possible to get the itemstack that is placed on an item frame

[wary edge]

No.

[olive briar]

how can i make one entity look at another with script?

just look

[pallid portal]

wouldn't you be able to do that in the entity's own json file?

As a behaviour.

[olive briar]

I can't do it

I'm unable

I don't know if it's in the behavior file or in the animation

in this case, I want the entity to rotate the entire body towards another entity

[pallid portal]

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

just to confirm.
A behaviour like this is not it?

[olive briar]

yes

[ruby haven]

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

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(({ hurtEntity, damageSource }) => {

  const attacker = damageSource.damagingEntity;
  if (attacker?.typeId == 'mz:stomp1') {
    hurtEntity.applyKnockback(0, 0, 10, 1);
  }
  else if (attacker?.typeId == 'mz:stomp2') {
    hurtEntity.applyKnockback(0, 0, 1, 10);
  }

});

How can I make the knock effect like an explosion where the entity is knocked away from the source

[thorn flicker]

requires math.

[ruby haven]

Can you like give me a pointer and I do the coding

[thorn flicker]

nope

||im bad at math||

[ruby haven]

Oh okay

[distant gulch]

How do I create a Vector 3

Do I just make an array then have the three values listed?

like const myArray[x, y, z]

Would that automatically be a Vector 3?

[thorn flicker]

its an object with 3 properties

x, y z

not an array

[distant gulch]

How do i create one?

I*

[thorn flicker]

create an object.

[distant gulch]

Wdym?

Explain further

[thorn flicker]

you dont know what an object is?

[distant gulch]

I want to utilize player.teleport()

And I need a vector 3. I can't just put in x, y, z

What do I need to make that vector 3 with my own x,y,z coords

[wary edge]

{x: blah, y: blah, z: blah}

[thorn flicker]

{x: 0, y: 0, z: 0}

[distant gulch]

.source.teleport({x: xLocation, y: yLocation, z: zLocation});

that works?

[thorn flicker]

assuming xLocation and the rest are defined, yes.

[distant gulch]

yes, they are

thanks guys!

Can I send video here related to scripting?

[shut citrus]

[ruby haven]

I think they do not allow promoting here

[ruby haven]

Anyone know how to achieve this?

[wary edge]

Seems more of a #1067869022273667152 question.

[dim tusk]

It's just an entity that holds an item specifically a block then position the item so it looks like full blcok

I actually have pre-made models and animations, I can send you if you want

[rigid meadow]

do anyone know how to make a script where someone places a block, it disappears without using custom blocks?

[ruby haven]

Yes plss

[ruby haven]

There is a tutorial on YouTube which cancels the block upon placing it

[ruby haven]

I can't understand the logic on how it works though if it is an invisible entity that holds the item block which positions it or scales it to look like a full block, how does it take the item from the ground?

[dim tusk]

Using scripts I guess?

When you summon the entity, it takes the block id below it then put into it's hand using replaceitem command, then despawn after a few seconds
-# based on what I seen in the video

It's not really complicated to understand

[ruby haven]

Now I get it so the full block appearance mainly relies on the animation thanks

[ruby haven]

I'll try and create this script

[dim tusk]

You don't need to change anything in model and animations it's already fixed to looks like full block

Just apply the model and the animations to the entity

[rigid meadow]

could you tel me the youtube channel if it’s possible?

[dim tusk]

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

world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe(({ entity }) => {
   if (entity.typeId === '<mob typeid>') {
      const block = entity.dimension.getBlock(entity.location);
      entity.runCommandAsync(`replaceitem entity @s slot.weapon.mainhand 0 ${block.below().typeId}`);
      system.runTimeout(() => {
         entity.remove();
      }, 2 * 20); // 20 ticks = 1 second
   }
});```

[ruby haven]

I'm sorry I can't find it but do you know the basics of scripting API?

[rigid meadow]

ah yes

it would be great to tell me the process of doing it

[dim tusk]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/starting-scripts.html

[rigid meadow]

oh no i mean the process of doin this

[dim tusk]

Wym by disappear?

[rigid meadow]

like breaks the block

[dim tusk]

It would not place at all?

So example I have grass block, I right click instead of placing it on ground it won't at all?

[rigid meadow]

um i mean i want so that whenever someone places a block, after 5ish sec, it would break automatically

but without using custom blocks

[dim tusk]

If yes maybe this could help.

[ruby haven]

I found it search for minedev studious check the vid about script API basics he used that as an example when you placed a block it instantly disappears

[rigid meadow]

tysm!

[celest abyss]

@dim tusk , Is it possible to make a form that when pressing a certain button it registers a custom component for the player?

[dim tusk]

Wym custom components

[celest abyss]

I'm not English, could you tell me aje es wym?

[dim tusk]

it means What you mean..

[celest abyss]

for example changing the hitbox with a custom component from player.json

[dim tusk]

No, you can't change hitbox with scripts only

[autumn seal]

I did a explosion-like knock back effect before

Might have the files around if you haven't done it yet

[dim tusk]

I discovered something with the playerButtonInput in the 1.21.60+

When the player has the option to hold down to sneak or click once to sneak thingy when you activate click once to activate the class things it's not pressed anymore.

world.afterEvents.playerButtonInput.subscribe(({ button, newButtonState, player }) => {
    console.error(button, newButtonState, player.name);
});```

but tbh it kinda makes sense cause the player is not holding it anymore the game does not you soo...

Let it slide I guess?

[subtle cove]

When does it say "Released"?

[dim tusk]

So when the player has the click once to sneak options for Android devices, it sends the pressed then released message after that

Instead of pressed till player untoggle the sneak button

But I said, it kinda makes sense cause the game is the one who keeps pressing it, not you lol

[slow walrus]

well yeah that makes sense

though

in this case it's the buttonState, not the input state

so it should be pressed

and not release until toggled again

[dim tusk]

So we could say a 🪲?

[slow walrus]

yeah probably

[dim tusk]

Hmm, let's just wait for other geniuses opinion

[sage portal]

Do you mind telling me why you're trying to make Minecraft calculate Infinity?

[distant gulch]

well Bridge. told me it was an option, and I'd rather make that the answer than 99999. I assumed it would work the same as putting "infinite" in a /effect lol

[sage portal]

There's a slight difference between using infinite in duration and infinite in the calculation of a vector.

'sides, I'm not even sure why you need 99999 for knockback anyways, that's just overkill.

Make sure the file is updated

For example, write console.warn("the file has been updated")

[warm mason]

What do you mean?

And don't forget that replacements is a list and not an object

So it would be better to do this:

const replacements = {
  "minecraft:wooden_sword": ["Line 1", "Line 2", "Line 3"],
  "minecraft:apple": ["Just one line"]
}

mc.system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of mc.world.getPlayers()) {
    const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory")?.container;
    for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
      const item = inventory.getItem(i);
      if (item === undefined) continue;
      if (replacements[item.typeId] != undefined) { // LINE 21
        item.setLore(replacements[item.typeId]); 
        inventory.setItem(i, item);
      }
    }
  }
});

i want to load some blocks in the world and save them in a variable as my scripts starts up. how do i prevent this from throwing errors when i first join the world (meaning the area is yet to be loaded)

[cold grove]

Wait for playerSpawn or just catch the erros

[warm mason]

If the area is not loaded then getBlock will simply return undefined, so you just have to wait for it to return Block

[distant tulip]

it dose throw errors as far as i remembered

[warm mason]

If he is beyond the boundaries of the world (for example at 500 altitude) then yes

[warm mason]

Then why doesn't it work for me?...

[distant tulip]

let me try to make sure

[warm mason]

This is probably about the fact that if you receive a block object and try to use it after unloading it, you get an error
