Script API General

[umbral scarab]

Oh really? How come?

[ruby haven]

How about forcing a player to be in first person?

[distant tulip]

camera api

[ruby haven]

Oh there is what class can I find it

[distant tulip]

player.camera

[ruby haven]

I know there is a command for it but what is better script or command running in json?

[warm mason]

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

[remote oyster]

Ah, yes I wouldn't have known that lol. I haven't used it in a very long time.

[honest spear]

I am really sad about it bc its really annoying to install types every single time, or thigns like @types/node

[remote oyster]

I personally prefer local installs. Helps to ensure the types being used for that project aren't overlapping with other versions I may be using in other stuff. Keeps things maintained, and orderly.

[umbral scarab]

Was there a reason behind it's removal? Sounds like a really nice thing to have ngl

[honest spear]

Well i mean more like test scripts not actually valueable projects if you know what i mean

[remote oyster]

Oh, definitely.

[honest spear]

I never really understood what it was removed, its kinda shit its not even toggable

[umbral scarab]

Dang

[remote oyster]

Seems like an odd thing to remove but if I were a betting man, they probably removed it on the same premise as to why I prefer local installs.

[honest spear]

Well but you still could have option to enable it

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46762461/how-to-use-global-node-packages-with-vs-code/46943302#46943302

[remote oyster]

Makes me wonder if they plan to remove it in VSC in the near future.

👀

People here are gonna panic lol.

[honest spear]

its already gone like 2 years or something

it take me while to notice as well

[honest spear]

What do you think about that generated code thats is assigning prototypes for all returned Vector3 objects?

its a bit off topic but what do you think about it?

[slim forum]

How do I get a gamerule? For example, get the 'keepinventory' gamerule and make it return if it is true or false

[remote oyster]

VSC? I don't think so. It recognizes global installs.

[remote oyster]

Got a link or reference so I can freshen up on this?

At work, so I'm not entirely focused lol.

[distant tulip]

i can confirm that global installs work fine

[honest spear]

💀 💀 💀 💀

What???

damn

[distant tulip]

yeah
all my mc packages are global installs

[honest spear]

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/36615

I have to test this

[distant tulip]

you are on windows?

[honest spear]

yes

[ruby haven]

Is there a way to detect character player through scripting if it is slim or not?

[distant tulip]

character player?

[honest spear]

not possible

[ruby haven]

Yes like slim the model

[distant tulip]

this is with a global install

[honest spear]

i am confused asf

[distant tulip]

scripts are server side only
we can't detect any of the resource pack stuff

[distant tulip]

not the case in your end?

[ruby haven]

Ah okay

[honest spear]

Its related to skin, and skin is resolved on server side as well btu not sure if there is direct access or not, but its not possible for now anyway

[distant tulip]

oh
yeah forgot about the character creator stuff
i don't thing even the server net can get those

[ruby haven]

Yeah it would be great if that is possible

[honest spear]

ya it would be great

[remote oyster]

That would need to be investigated further. Seems it was removed back in 2017 but it's plausible it was reinstated years later.

[chilly fractal]

Yo y'all I'm wondering if I re-add the damage a player got in an entityHurt event would it cancel their damage (and/or) death? I can make my own player inv loader so I can set keepInv gamerule to true and it doesn't drop their items so if it wasn't meant for them to die their inv won't be lost and and if it was meant then just load the inventory, would this all work for a make-shift damage canceling?

[warm mason]

I don’t think that damage can be canceled (unless it’s damage_sensor). And if you also deal damage through applyDamage, it will either be applied or not, because after receiving damage there is a certain cooldown that does not allow you to deal damage in the next couple of ticks after receiving it

And I still don’t understand why you need to cancel the damage

[chilly fractal]

Uh no not applying

I re-add the lost health to the player

If they shouldn't be hurt in this context

[warm mason]

Well, he will die if the damage is lethal

[chilly fractal]

If that cancels the EntityDie Event then I wouldn't need to check if their health-

Welp

I do have a damage sensor (multiple) but they aren't that flexible

I can't test if the hurt & attacker both have tag that starts with something which is pissing me off

[warm mason]

Not. This event cannot be canceled. You can only immediately restore HP after losing them, but if the damage is lethal, then there is nothing you can do

[chilly fractal]

Nvm, welp thanks!

[solar dagger]

Best way to detect if an entity is in a cave? Of course without using the entity behavior file

[warm mason]

Well, you can check the surrounding blocks and height

[distant tulip]

man, if only we have air cave from java

[wary edge]

Ew.

They're not even used anymore.

[distant tulip]

i mean... it is good way to detect caves

[distant tulip]

fr? sense when?

[wary edge]

Or...is_undergroud.

[warm mason]

Basically you can just get the highest block and check if you are under it

[wary edge]

I never said to use JSON file.

Reread what I said, an is_underground component or filter via ScriptAPI would be far sustantially better than using cave air.

[warm mason]

I don’t understand what component we are talking about and what “cave air” is

[distant tulip]

is_underground is not a component and there is not filter for it in the api

[distant tulip]

it is from java

[wary edge]

Which is exactly why I said it be better if we had support for that then use cave air.

Because what is even cave air? If I just destroy the cave....then what?

[distant tulip]

i mean yeah i said "if" it is more of a work around if we did have it

[distant tulip]

good point

[solar dagger]

Ok but what would be the best way to check a large area?

Because these caves are huge af

[distant tulip]

rays or A* algo

[warm mason]

.

[distant tulip]

that not enough
a block above don't mean you are underground

[wary edge]

Technically...

[distant tulip]

[warm mason]

But if you are under some kind of block, then you are not on the surface, but therefore underground. You can make a couple of exceptions or checks.

[distant tulip]

maybe you are under a tree, or passing under a extended block from a building, or under a ship from the end
lot of cases

[warm mason]

Just do some extra checks

[solar dagger]

Maybe exclude leaves or something?

[solar dagger]

A ray? Do you mean the entity's ray reach? Isn't that limited?

[jolly citrus]

what has changed with 1.20.50

[distant tulip]

getBlockFromRay
use multiple in all directions

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/diff.html#%40minecraft%2Fserver/1.15.0/1.16.0

[jolly citrus]

wow amazing website

thx

[solar dagger]

Okay thanks, would a system.runInterval be best?

I'm not trying to cause lag when trying to check the surroundings

[granite badger]

I just found out my docs update caused old links to be broken completely, whoops

[neat hound]

I don't think it did this before, but why is it showing something as beta when it is not? I always go to beta to see what is beta, versus going to stable and seeing it not there. But if everything under beta says beta, then.... is this a bug? @granite badger

I am 90% positive that stuff that was stable did not have a beta tag when you viewed the server-beta pages

[granite badger]

Typedoc new update kinda changed how things are parsed. Seems like if the module is marked with beta tag, everything is marked as beta.
I’ll bring this up with the typedoc devs

[ruby haven]

I want to detect when a player is riding a specific entity using molang but that is not possible so I'm thinking of creating a property called sm:ride with a default value of false and then set that property to true in scripts then use the molang:
query.has_property Takes one argument: the name of the property on the entity. Returns 1.0 if a property with the given name exists, 0 otherwise.

Is this possible?

[dim tusk]

You can set property in scripts without using events

Just grab the entity you want to set the property with

entity.setProperty('<name>', <value>); // accepted values or values you indicated in entity file```

[ruby haven]

Wait I just realized that the only argument that the query.has_property takes is only the name it doesn't take any value

[dim tusk]

You used ```query.property('<name>') == <value>

// sample
query.property('tnt:exploded') == true

has_property is straightforward it returns true when the property exist on tha player otherwise place

[ruby haven]

Oh okay thanks, I just wanted to play an animation when the player rides the smile entity so yeah this is possible

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
   for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
      const riding = player.getComponent('riding');
      if (riding.entityRidingOn?.typeId === 'mz:smile') {
         player.setProperty('<name>', <value>);
      } else {
         player.setProperty('<name>', <value>);
      }
   }
});```

[dim tusk]

Wait... You will set the property player is riding or the player itself?

[ruby haven]

The property of the player cause it is the one playing the animation

[dim tusk]

^ hmm, so this one will work then... @ruby haven

[ruby haven]

Yeah is it safe to use multiple system.run interval in an addon?

[drifting cobalt]

is getComponent('food') fixed?

[dim tusk]

Why do you need to separate it if you could just one?

[dim tusk]

Yes...

[drifting cobalt]

tq

[dim tusk]

Wait sorry wdym by fixed?

Sorry I read it wrong I thought you'd said exist 😭

[dim tusk]

As I said why make separate intervals when you can just use one unless each one has specific delays

[ruby haven]

No just asking cause I'm trying to make the addon not laggy even in low end devices cause most bedrock players play on phone

[ruby haven]

Each one has specific delays so yeah

[drifting cobalt]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1293928875642064916

[dim tusk]

It kinda depends what you do in each of them

[dim tusk]

Sorry I don't know... 😞 Just try it out.

[dim tusk]

If your settings property constantly or dynamic property... Probably yes

[dim tusk]

I tested it and yes it doesn't work... Idk if it really doesn't work on vanilla and only custom...

[celest abyss]

Hey

[terse pulsar]

How I can make the button form has conditions to appear?

[terse pulsar]

Like

if (condition) {
form.button()
}

[uncut summit]

need some help

[wary edge]

Man...open a post.

[uncut summit]

ok

[celest abyss]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(ev => {
  if (ev.block.typeId.includes('minecraft:door')) return; player.runCommandAsync('execute as @s at @s run damage @s 2000');
}

I have a problem, now practically the interact button does the /damage, literally putting blocks does the damage, putting mob generators also does the /damage

[wary edge]

I have...many questions like why youre using execute and runcommandasync. Secondly, whats the issue? When do you want it to damage?

[celest abyss]

I want damage to be applied to the player when interacting with doors and buttons

[wary edge]

Then why did you make it return early?

[celest abyss]

I didn't put the complete code but it actually returns you to a function

[wary edge]

What?

[sterile epoch]

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

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe((e) => {
    e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("jm:shoot_cooldown", {
        onUse({ source: player, itemStack: item }) {
            player.startItemCooldown("shoot", 20)
        }
    })
})

function summonBullet(player) {
    const head = player.getHeadLocation();
    const view = player.getViewDirection();

    const bullet = player.dimension.spawnEntity("jm:thrown_bullet", { x: head.x + view.x * 1, y: head.y + view.y, z: head.z + view.z * 1 });
    const proj = bullet.getComponent("projectile");
    proj.owner = player;
    proj.shoot(player.getViewDirection())
}

function shoot(player, item) {
    console.warn(`${item.getDynamicProperty("ammo")}`)
}
world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe((e) => {
    const { source: player, itemStack: item } = e;
    if (item.typeId == "jm:m1911_colt") {
        system.run(() => {
            shoot(player, item);
        })
    }
})

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        if (!player.isValid()) break;

        const heldItem = player.getComponent("inventory")?.container?.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);

        if (heldItem && heldItem.typeId == "jm:m1911_colt" && !heldItem.getDynamicProperty("ammo")) {
            heldItem.setDynamicProperty("ammo", 20);
        }

        if (heldItem && heldItem.typeId == "jm:m1911_colt") {
            player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`${heldItem.getDynamicProperty("ammo")}`);
        }
    }
})

does anyone know why the console.warn returns undefined despite the fact it says 20 on the actionbar?

[wary edge]

Im confused. You want it to be
!block.typeId = door then return.

[celest abyss]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(ev => {
  if (ev.block.typeId.includes('minecraft:door')) return;
  test(ev.player);
});
function test(player) {
  player.runCommandAsync('execute as @s at @s run damage @s 2000');
}

[wary edge]

Yeah...like I said.

[valid ice]

The semicolon after the return cuts off the code, so it thinks the runCommand is the next line, effectively

[wary edge]

Hm?

[terse pulsar]

the include is necessary?

[valid ice]

In the first code, not the one most recently sent

[celest abyss]

I need it for all doors

[wary edge]

Yes...do what I said.

[terse pulsar]

Aw I see

[wary edge]

Make it an inverse.

And also it shoulf just be includes door not namespace.

[valid ice]

Aren't the other doors like minecraft:spruce_door and whatnot

Can check for _door

[celest abyss]

But for it to work on all doors, would I have to copy and paste the code?

[wary edge]

Which would account for trapdoors right!

[terse pulsar]

Anyone know how to make the form response more exactly?

[wary edge]

....?

[valid ice]

yur

[valid ice]

wdym

[terse pulsar]

I was doing a form with conditions on the buttons

But

The normal selection just work with on the buttons that was on the form when is open

If I make a button 3 appear alone with a condition, he will execute the case 0

[valid ice]

Ah, I see

You'd have to conditionally check button visibility in the selections as well

[terse pulsar]

I don't have any ideia how to do that

[valid ice]

well, you could do
const actualSelection = response.selection - !(button_1_condition) - !(button_2_condition) or something janky ahh

But honestly, two buttons with variable visibility is pretty wacky, as it will get messy fast

[terse pulsar]

Ok

I dint understand but is it

[distant gulch]

In a vector3, what is the equivalent of ^^^1 in commands? How can I get the coordinate one block in front of their face

[wary edge]

GettBlockFromViewDirection?

[distant gulch]

Does that Block include air?

headlocation+viewdirection

I thought its just the first solid block in ur ray

[distant gulch]

No, that's very innacurate in how I'm doing this. It returned with the going to the aide

[valid ice]

Spherical coordinates

[distant gulch]

side*

[valid ice]

this

[distant gulch]

And it was unfortunately too innacurate for what I'm doing

[valid ice]

getHeadLocation() returns a vec3 where the head is
getViewDirection returns a unit vec3 based on where they're looking

[distant gulch]

Does getBlockFromViewDirection return air?

[distant gulch]

Iknow what they do

[valid ice]

If no block is found, I think it returns undefined

aka it finds air

[distant gulch]

Can I get the location of the undefined?

[valid ice]

Nop

The viewBlock itself is undefined

[distant gulch]

Well how else (besides view + location) can I get the block in front of me?

Because headLoc and viewDir combined runs off to the side depending on vieeDir value

[valid ice]

Apparently head location is inaccurate to camera; have you seen this here?

[distant gulch]

What do you mean?

This is my code

{ x: bullet.location.x + bullet.getViewDirection().x, y: bullet.location.y + bullet.getViewDirection().y, z: bullet.location.z + bullet.getViewDirection().z }

[ruby haven]

In this why is my property throwing errors?

[ruby haven]

Can someone tell me what's wrong here

[distant gulch]

What's my issue?

I'm trying to create a projectile

but no matter what I change the power to

it also goes the same speed as a snowball

[ruby haven]

Just change the behavior of arrow bro

[distant gulch]

wdym

I want to create a new projectile

ohh, u mean copy an arrow?

[ruby haven]

Yeah just modify the arrow

[distant gulch]

and change it up a lol

ahh

I'll get back to u on that lol

[ruby haven]

In this one why is my property throwing errors?

[dim tusk]

How do you throw the projectile?

[dim tusk]

It throws an error in game?

[ruby haven]

No oh so it's normal for it to look like that

[distant gulch]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe((e) => {
    if (e.itemStack.typeId == "minecraft:stick") {
        system.run(() => {
            summonBullet(e.source);
        })
    }
})

function summonBullet(player) {
    const head = player.getHeadLocation();
    const view = player.getViewDirection();
    const bullet = player.dimension.spawnEntity("jm:thrown_bullet", { x: head.x, y: head.y - 0.5, z: head.z })
    const proj = bullet.getComponent("projectile");
    proj.owner = player;
    proj.shoot(view);
}

[distant gulch]

not sure

[distant gulch]

I think so. My json file yells at me all the time for stuff that works

[ruby haven]

Hahah I'm so confused why bridge is saying it's wrong I read the documentTion and I'm doing it right

[distant gulch]

Yeah bridge is weird, but I still love using it lol

[ruby haven]

Yeah super useful

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ itemStack, source }) => {
   if (itemStack.typeId === 'minecraft:stick') {
      system.run(() => {
         const head = source.getHeadLocation();
         const view = source.getViewDirection();
         const bullet = source.dimension.spawnEntity('jm:thrown_projectile', { x: head.x, y: head.y - 0.5, z: head.z });
          const proj = bullet.getComponent('projectile');
          proj.owner = player;
          proj.shoot({ x: head.x + view.x * 2, y: head.y + view.y + 0.1 * 2, z: head.z + view z * 2 });
      });
   }
});```

[dim tusk]

I feel like its work just the auto completion isn't updated

[dim tusk]

If iirc the speed of the bullet will be based on the * 2 or whatever you put there.

[distant gulch]

That just shoots my arrow to the side

unfortunately

my original shot shot straight in a line

this shoots no further and just shoots to the side

[dim tusk]

That shouldn't happen.

Does your projectile have the runtime identifier of snowball?

[distant gulch]

the shoot method goes based on a direction/angle

not a location or a power

[distant gulch]

and yes

[slim spear]

I would detect if there's a block above the entity, and then also detect if they are below a certain y level threshold

getTopMostBlock

[dim tusk]

Weird because it works for me!

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ itemStack, source }) => {
   if (itemStack.typeId === 'minecraft:blaze_rod') {
      system.run(() => {
         const head = source.getHeadLocation();
         const view = source.getViewDirection();
         const bullet = source.dimension.spawnEntity('minecraft:snowball', head);
          const proj = bullet.getComponent('projectile');
          proj.owner = source;
          proj.shoot({ x: view.x * 5, y: view.y * 5, z: view.z * 5 });
      });
   }
});```

[distant gulch]

A "minecraft:snowball" is not the same as my bullet, and you changed the values of original code

Unfortunately, mine just went off to the right

[dim tusk]

The problem is your entity file then

[distant gulch]

I based it off snowball, then off arrow

[dim tusk]

I changed the spawn locations with your original location and it still works

And my point still stands that you can change the power of the projectile in the shoot() property not just direction/angle...

[verbal yew]

do yal know if the name tags was changed and how you edit them

[dim tusk]

Entity.nameTag = ''

[distant gulch]

As well as the values

[verbal yew]

player.nameTag

[dim tusk]

Nahh my point still stands you change power using shoot()

[distant gulch]

thank you for posting the new values

[dim tusk]

Sarcastic? Idk I'm kinda stupid with this.

[verbal yew]

that change player to entity

[dim tusk]

We're just talking about entity file of the bullet and scripts no player

[verbal yew]

oh ok will it work on a player

[dim tusk]

Wym by player?

[verbal yew]

it is for chat ranks and to change the over head nametag of the player

[dim tusk]

Ohh... this is a different topic

[dim tusk]

just do player.nameTag but the name doesn't change in the chat you need to have different approach

[verbal yew]

oh my bad

[verbal yew]

i have both but my name=Tag stoepd working

player.nameTag = ${displayName} §f| ${nameColor}${player.name};

[dim tusk]

Show the code then ...

[verbal yew]

there is the code

it worked bfor the update

[solar dagger]

What would be the appropriate distance? Also wouldn't I have to detect the light level too? But the player could be nearby lava or a torch 😅

[slim spear]

oh no i just mean detect if there's a block above them in general

[distant gulch]

Do dynamicProperties not save for items?

In one the areas of my script, I set a dynamic property on a custom item, and it displays it fine in an actionbar,

but in another area, when I call for that same proprty, it's undefined

[dim tusk]

They save... When putting a dp on an item you need to put the item back to slot it doesn't work on stackables tho

[distant gulch]

Ik, it's not stackable

can I show u my script rq

one sec

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        if (!player.isValid()) break;
        const heldItem = player.getComponent("inventory")?.container?.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
        if (heldItem && heldItem.typeId == "jm:m1911" && !heldItem.getDynamicProperty("ammo")) {
            heldItem.setDynamicProperty("ammo", 20);
        }
        if (heldItem && heldItem.typeId == "jm:m1911") {
            player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`${heldItem.getDynamicProperty("ammo")}`)
        }
    }
})

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe((e) => {
    const heldItem = e.source.getComponent("inventory")?.container?.getItem(e.source.selectedSlotIndex);
    if (e.itemStack.typeId == "jm:m1911") {
        system.run(() => {
            summonBullet(e.source);
            e.source.sendMessage(`${heldItem.getDynamicProperty("ammo")}`);
        })
    }
})

In the first part, the dynamicProperty works fine in the actionbar

but in my world.beforeEvents, it's showing as undefined

same for console.log

[dim tusk]

You're not setting the item back to the slot.

[distant gulch]

wdym

Can you explain??

oops

doubel questionmark

[dim tusk]

Every time you modify an item you need to put it back in the slot.

[distant gulch]

double*

I can't type today

can you give me a small example code?

I'm tired lol, I can't think properly

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
   for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
      const equip = player.getComponent('equippable');
      const mainhand = equip.getEquipment('Mainhand');
      if (mainhand?.typeId === 'jm:m1911') {
         mainhand.setDynamicProperty('ammo', 20);
         mainhand.setEquipment('Mainhand', mainhand);
      }
   }
});```

[distant gulch]

ah

I see

I'm dumb lol, that's what you want

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
   for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
      const inventory = player.getComponent('inventory');
      const mainhand = inventory.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
      if (mainhand?.typeId === 'jm:m1911') {
         mainhand.setDynamicProperty('ammo', 20);
         mainhand.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, mainhand);
      }
   }
});```

[distant gulch]

I'm gonna test it out rq

[dim tusk]

This applies to everything setting name, lore, durability or whatever as long as you modify the item, you need to put back item to slot

[ruby haven]

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


system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    const riding = player.getComponent('minecraft:riding');
    if (riding.entityRidingOn?.typeId === 'mz:smile') {
      player.setProperty('smile:ride', true);
    } else {
      player.setProperty('smile:ride', false);
    }
  }
});

In this code is there an entityRidingOn method?
Cause it says it is undefined

[dim tusk]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.EntityRidingComponent.html#entityridingon

[solar dagger]

Dumb question but are you riding the entity?

[distant gulch]

alr, thanks

[dim tusk]

Don't worry it doesn't spam setting the item to slot, it knows when you modify an item it only sets the item to slot

[ruby haven]

Ah since it runs every interval so it is making the error

[solar dagger]

Yeah...just use the player to interact with entity world event

And trigger the condition that way

[dim tusk]

Just do riding?.entityRidingOn?.typeId === '' if it keeps persisting

[ruby haven]

This is a lot more better for documentation than the other link I use

[dim tusk]

I think it spams because you're not riding anything and it tries to grab the entity player is riding even tho he's not

[dim tusk]

That's why I added the ?

[ruby haven]

Yeah

[solar dagger]

But could that also be a house?

[slim spear]

Yeah

you could also check if the entity is standing on stone/deepslate

There won't be a perfect way for this

[solar dagger]

Yeah I kinda figured. I was maybe thinking of just restricting it under the standard water level and go from there

[slim spear]

yeah

[distant gulch]

Ah, thanks so much! It worked!

[slim spear]

under y 60 & if there is a block above them

is what i would do

[solar dagger]

Alr thanks for the input 🙏

[slim spear]

np

[dim tusk]

Are you talking about the dynamic property?

Lmao I forgot things easily lmao...

Welcome I guess?

[ruby haven]

{
"controller.render.wide.possesed": "q.property('smile:ride') == true && variable.short_arm_offset_right == 0.0"
}

[ruby haven]

This one loads a different geo if the model is wide and I also made one for slim

Why does it say q.property('smile:ride') doesn't have an actor?

[dim tusk]

The variable short arm offset works but the player needs to be in first person to load that

[distant gulch]

yes lol

[dim tusk]

Just ignore it... 🙃

[ruby haven]

Oh I hope my community doesn't complain about it

[ruby haven]

So after it loads the model will stay that way even if the player switches to third person right?

[dim tusk]

So if you put that variable when the player is in third person it won't trigger that when go to first person it trigger that then it would become permanent otherwise no

[ruby haven]

No cause I the moment they ride the smile entity I run a function that forces them to be in first person and after the render controllers load they can switch again to third person and the model will still stay that way right?

[dim tusk]

Yeah it would become "permanent"

[ruby haven]

Okay finally I was able to finish the death scene

[dim tusk]

Wait I think you misunderstood... So that variable detects if the player has Alex slim or Steve body...

Or you understand it

[ruby haven]

Yes

[ruby haven]

The only thing I don't like is the error showing it ruins the beauty of the death scene

[dim tusk]

Use json ui to hide that 🤷 idk or ask in #1067869318383157430 it's not my specialty sorry

[ruby haven]

Nah I'm not asking for help it's fine

[alpine void]

How can I make it so that when an entity hits you, the durability of your tools and armor will be lowered to a specific level that I want?

[ruby haven]

I think it already exist in json

[alpine void]

with what?

I can't find anything

[ruby haven]

Its already built in do you want to control how much durability the item loses?

[alpine void]

yes

[ruby haven]

Wait it is possible you have to make the format version of the item 1.21.10+

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/tool-durability

Where can I find the camera preset for first person can I modify it so that I can look tall?

[warm mason]

you can use the entityHitEntity event and the equippable component (it only works for the player). Here's an example:

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(data => {
  let player = data.hitEntity
  if (player.typeId != "minecraft:player") return // Excluding events in which hitEntity is not a player

  let equip = player.getComponent("minecraft:player")
  for (let slot of ["Head","Chest","Legs","Feet"]) {
    let item = equip.getEquipment(slot)
    if (item == undefined) continue

    let dur = item.getComponent("durability")
    if (dur) {
      let damage = dur.damage + dur.maxDurability*0.01 // Remove 1% durability
      if (damage >= dur.maxDurability) {
        item = undefined
      } else {
        dur.damage = damage
      }
    }

    equip.setEquipment(slot, item)
  }
})

[glacial widget]

is it possible to check players offhand?

[humble lintel]

could i ask if its possible to check for player interactions with blocks that aren't normally interactable

like grass or stone

[dim tusk]

Use before events

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(({ block, player }) => { 
   if (block.typeId === 'minecraft:grass_block') {
   }
});```

[ruby haven]

who is knowledgeable here in creating camera presets?

[dim tusk]

const equipment = player.getComponent('equippable');
const offhand = equipment.getEquipment('Offhand');

console.error(offhand?.typeId);```

[shut citrus]

poor creaking

[ruby haven]

Hahaha nice medosa

[humble lintel]

oh okay maybe it didnt work because i used after events

thank you

[ruby haven]

In the player.location.x where does it base it's direction, is it the x and y axis of the world or the player itself?

[dry meadow]

how do i change movement speed of player via scripting? cant find a method in EntityMovementComponent

[ruby haven]

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


async function forceRide(ride, rider, maxAttempt = 200) {
  let attempts = maxAttempt;
  while (attempts--) {
    const rideable = ride.getComponent("minecraft:rideable");
    if (rideable && rideable.addRider(rider)) {
      return true;
    }
    await system.waitTicks(1);
  }
  return false;
}


world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ damageSource: { damagingEntity }, deadEntity }) => {
  if (!damagingEntity || damagingEntity.typeId !== 'minecraft:player') return;

  if (deadEntity.typeId === 'minecraft:villager_v2') {
    world.scoreboard.getObjective('Kills').addScore(damagingEntity, 1);

  } else if (deadEntity.typeId === 'mz:smile' && damagingEntity.hasTag('survivor')) {
    deadEntity.triggerEvent('bridge:dead');

  } else {
    deadEntity.triggerEvent('bridge:fake_death');
    damagingEntity.triggerEvent('bridge:no_movement');
    damagingEntity.runCommand(`camera @s set minecraft:first_person facing ${deadEntity.location.x} ${deadEntity.location.y} ${deadEntity.location.z}`)

    system.runTimeout(async () => {

      await forceRide(deadEntity, damagingEntity);
    }, 20);

    damagingEntity.runCommand(`camera @s set minecraft:free ease 4 linear pos ${damagingEntity.location.x + 10} ${damagingEntity.location.y + 3} ${damagingEntity.location.z} rot 40 90`);
  }
});

[ruby haven]

In the last command I wanted to activate a camera command where it creates a side view scene of the damaging.entity but I can't find the right values

Example in rectangle I want an angle where I am facing the right longer part of that rectangle

[humble lintel]

does anyone know why it says spawn item does not have required privbiliges

[wary edge]

Are you using it in a beforeEvent?

[buoyant canopy]

how to get difficulty?

[warm mason]

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

[buoyant canopy]

is it even possible?

[warm mason]

As I remember it is impossible

[buoyant canopy]

Lol WHAT

[warm mason]

I was surprised too when I couldn't find it.

[buoyant canopy]

that's crazy

[warm mason]

The funny thing is that there is even enumeration for difficulty, but there is no difficulty

[buoyant canopy]

why does the Difficulty enum exist then?

[warm mason]

idk

[slow walrus]

completely unused

[ruby haven]

Does someone know how to achieve this?

[granite badger]

try search it up maybe

[coral ermine]

Is there a obfuscator that doesn’t have its deobfuscate?

[wary edge]

No.

Obfuscation bad.

[coral ermine]

ts good

[winged gull]

just use the playAnimation function, you should try to avoid using player.json whenever possible, only use it when ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY

[ruby haven]

Oh so I can playAnimation in the behavior side and will play in the resource side?

[winged gull]

Yes

[ruby haven]

Can you tell if there is a better way than doing this

Check the last command

[glacial widget]

tried but when i have something in my offhand, still says i have nothing?

[wise raft]

Is there a way to check if Block 1 is connected with Block 2?

[alpine void]

Thx

[warm mason]

I wonder how this will work

[valid ice]

Didn't those already exist

[warm mason]

There was a setDynamicProperty method, and here is setDynamicProperties

[valid ice]

Ohhhhhh I see

Didn't catch the plural, thought it was just bad script changelog formatting 😛

[warm mason]

I thought so too at first

[warm mason]

Looks useless, at least for me

[valid ice]

It's a nice QOL, but I don't see myself using it that much lol

[honest spear]

Yes

[honest spear]

Navi already released them?

cool

he is fast

[valid ice]

Yar

[fathom pecan]

@granite badger I'm walking around and there's a little problem here

tnt or diamond sword how its lol silk one or the other

:)

[cinder shadow]

those are the same thing

[simple arch]

In my post someone said "We could change that to SU" what is SU?

[remote oyster]

Very nice.

[remote oyster]

On Linux it's known as a switch user. On Android it's known as superuser. Although superuser is sufficient for Linux as well. It's the equivalence of having or gaining administrative access to the system. Acquiring elevated privileges to do things you normally could not do without proper permissions.

[simple arch]

"xyz"
.split("")
.reduce((ac, cu) => {
  ac[cu] = playerPos[cu] - blockPos[cu]
  return ac
}, {})
``` how would it work on this?

[remote oyster]

I'm not sure I see the context related to that and the reference to SU.

[simple arch]

Look in my post

If you saw someone respond with we can chat to SU which means idk either

[dreamy elbow]

.isInWater.valueOf() doesn't detect things like rain, splash potions, ect. Is there another easy way to do it or should I just hardcode it

[warm mason]

Essentially, these are just particles, and they cannot be detected
Rain can be detected via getWeather() but you need to take into account the biome and where the block is located

[dreamy elbow]

Yeah I know how to do it I was just wondering if there was an easy one.

[autumn seal]

does anyone have vanilla shield code? I want to see how they handle deflecting projectile that hit the front of the player

does minecraft just compare the yaw/pitch of arrow and player?

[spare fox]

was this figured out?

[wary edge]

What about it?

[spare fox]

do we have to use as to get around this issue?

[wary edge]

If using typescript yes.

[spare fox]

how did they not change this

[wary edge]

Intentional change by the devs.

[spare fox]

I guess I will just write over it in the types. Very weird change

or is there some way to add your typing to it?

[wary edge]

Wdym?

This is what I did.

[spare fox]

yuk I hate doing that

[oak lynx]

@valid ice sorry for the ping
But is the amount of 1.16.100+ items in chest gui based on the actual amount of items or item_texture.json

[valid ice]

Actual BP file count

[spare fox]

so there not changing this?

[wary edge]

As far as I know.

[slow walrus]

they should be

navi said that workaround is for now

just got no clue when it'll be changed

[wary edge]

For now can be until 2030.

[slow walrus]

yep

[bright dove]

does anyone here knows all the things that can update a block ?

[olive rapids]

Can someone help me make an exact replica of an addon?

[autumn seal]

Logs update leaf blocks

[slow walrus]

looks like they actually changed it back in 1.17.0-beta wrong way around lmao

oh

wait

nvm other way around

[olive rapids]

Can someone help me recreate a script for an addon I have? I need a similar one

[bright dove]

i am trying to create a onBlockUpdate event listener by janking and detecting all the changes that could happen to a block

[slow walrus]

these are the changes from 1.16-beta to 1.17-beta if anyone is curious https://stirante.com/script/diff.html#%40minecraft%2Fserver/1.16.0-beta.1.21.44-stable/1.17.0-beta.1.21.50-stable

[bright dove]

Please if anyone is active, you'll see how interesting this api is

[slow walrus]

it changes a lot depending on what block it is

[fiery solar]

You should make a post about this. It does seem like an interesting challenge.

[autumn seal]

Before observers people used bud switches that checked alot of things that could update blocks including random things like silverfish entering the block or enderman shenanigans, there are lists of all these updates but they are probably old and not all of them update blocks on bedrock edition

[bright dove]

Yes, this is EXACTLY why i am doing it

If we have a onBlockUpdate custom event listener function we could do ALOOTT of things

but it does involve detecting everysingle changes to block separately

so very labourous

but NOT impossible

[bright dove]

yeah but i need it as a function

[fiery solar]

Redeclaring the getState interface with an intersection of the BlockStateSuperset and your own state interface is a pretty good middle ground between type safety and ease of use:

interface MyStates {
  "namespace:my_state": number;
}

type StateKeys = keyof (BlockStateSuperset & MyStates);

declare module "@minecraft/server" {
  interface BlockPermutation {
    getState<T extends StateKeys>(key: T): string | number | boolean | undefined;
  }
}

Just needs to be updated manually if the return values of getState change, but to be fair they probably won't

[coral ermine]

Does chatSend work only for 1.16.0-beta or it works for 1.8.0-beta too?

[dim tusk]

What?

chatsend works on the last latest beta right now it's 1.17.0-beta

[shut citrus]

what's new in script 2.0.0 ?

[dim tusk]

You can't use it rn as what smokey said

[shut citrus]

why

[dim tusk]

I don't know

Wait lemme try searching Smokey's Message regarding to this

[coral ermine]

Does it work on 1.8.0-beta?

[dim tusk]

Wym 1.8.0-beta?

What mc version are you?

[coral ermine]

@minecraft/server version in manifest

[coral ermine]

1.20.50

[dim tusk]

Where did you get the 1.8.0-beta?

[coral ermine]

that’s the 1.20.50 ?

[dim tusk]

In 1.21.50 it only has 1.17.0-beta and 1.16.0 below for server and 1.4.0-beta and 1.3.0 for server ui

I don't where did you get the 1.8.0-beta.

[coral ermine]

Wdym

1.8.0-beta is for 1.20.50

[dim tusk]

Fuck

Sorry

My bad it's my fault you're 1.20 not 1.21

[dim tusk]

Yes chatsend work on that version

[bright dove]

@dim tusk do you take interest in this ?

i am still relatively new to Scripting, well, haven't made any scripts of my own yet

[dim tusk]

No I'm not sorry... It's not interesting for me since it's kinda basic that everyone can do... And it's kinda resource intensive

[slow walrus]

you are very ambitious I will say

definitely gonna run into performance issues

[dim tusk]

Yes

[slow walrus]

It's better to wait till we get a native event for that, but even that might not be super performant

[bright dove]

basic yeah, but nobody have done it yet.

[slow walrus]

there's a heap of block updates every tick

[bright dove]

is there a way to optimize the performance ?

[slow walrus]

and trying to iterate or test through each would be very slow

[dim tusk]

Someone did it already, but didn't just share it

[dim tusk]

None...

[slow walrus]

well you don't have a script yet so no

[bright dove]

then it is as good as not existing at all.

[slow walrus]

it just depends how you impl it

but either way you'll have big overhead

so your min performance loss is probably still quite big, not worth it imo

[dim tusk]

But you can't use it still... We already told you, resource intensive

[bright dove]

oh...

hmmm

i see

i am trying to get a way to check for block updates

[slow walrus]

why do you want it anyway?

[bright dove]

it's for a custom fluids api my friend is making

there are two versions of the fluids, one ticking, one static

[dim tusk]

In the wiki there's a template for custom water but not very accurate, we can't replicate the flowing effect to players, and can't break crops we can't do anything to 1:1 or make it really close to the vanilla water

[bright dove]

First the component check if there's no block update to switch to the ticking version, Then have a component which will detect no changes in the envy to switch it back

[bright dove]

that template is old

it had been there for over a year now

[dim tusk]

So?

[slow walrus]

honestly that's completely pointless. You're gonna be ticking more anyway to check the enviroment than if the fluid was just always ticking

[proud saddle]

#1314157932757127198 message
so is it possible to do?

[round bone]

there's no option to set infinite duration of effect via Effect.addEffect?

checked docs and the only way I see right now is to call a command

[shy leaf]

its prob not there yet

[scarlet sable]

/reload doesn't reload ui and textures?

[shy leaf]

it only reloads behavior side stuff

functions and scripts

you need to do /reload all if you want to reload resource pack and the whole behavior pack

[scarlet sable]

oh sad

[scarlet sable]

nice

[slow walrus]

just use the command, I'm doing that rn

same for clearing all effects

there's no script method for that, just gotta use a command

[proud saddle]

[round bone]

you can technically for loop for every effect

[slow walrus]

yeah not fun though

[round bone]

just bit more code to write

for (const effect of player.getEffects()) {
    player.removeEffect(effect);
};

[jolly citrus]

is it possible to get the amount a player has of a certain item in their inventory in total without using a loop

[distant gulch]

i dont think so

[thorn flicker]

no

[clear pendant]

what got added from 1.13 to 1.16 in the server module?

[spare fox]

perfect thanks!

[pale terrace]

is there a way to pass scripting info to client? I want to do something with attachable but I dont know what to do because there is no molang or scripting to do this

[chilly fractal]

Idk set a property and detect it in molang, idk much about molang so if it works it works

[nocturne berry]

How to detect the lack of an entity from a specific family?

[chilly fractal]

?

If the entity is not in a family?

Be more specific and I'll help

[proud saddle]

[nocturne berry]

Something like the command execute unless entity @e[family=zombie,r=1]

[random flint]

use Entity.getComponent("minecraft:type_family")

run for non-undead
if (!comp.getTypeFamilies().includes("undead")) {};
shorter alternative:
if (!comp.hasTypeFamily("undead") {};

[jolly citrus]

beta or non beta

[clear pendant]

non

[jolly citrus]

both non beta?

[clear pendant]

ye

[jolly citrus]

https://stirante.com/script/diff.html#%40minecraft%2Fserver/1.13.0/1.16.0

[clear pendant]

thx

[jolly citrus]

creds to smokeystack for linking me that website

idk how public it is

[nocturne berry]

Thanks

[pale terrace]

but if its the player?

[drowsy scaffold]

how would I reduce an array to stack the quantity of typeIds of items? Say, as an example, that I have four pieces of dirt in one slot, two pieces of stone in another slot, and another three pieces of dirt in a different slot. How would I convert that down to seven pieces of dirt and two pieces of stone? I currently have:

    const inv = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container
    const playerInv = Array.from({length:inv.size},((_, slot)=> inv.getItem(slot)))
        .filter((slot)=> slot != null)

[chilly fractal]

Yes it works for player I believe, lemme check rq

[pale terrace]

Yes, but the problem is that I don't want to edit the player because of the problems it generates.

Therefore, I cannot add properties to it

[chilly fractal]

Well you do need to edit the player.json

If you do want to use query.property('<yourProperty'>) you're gonna need to define that Property & it's type in the entity file, which is the player file.

[pale terrace]

I'm looking for another way to not edit the player

[cold grove]

Look for Array#reduce

[drowsy scaffold]

I thought that but wasn't sure, thank you

[chilly fractal]

Sadly there may not be any other way as minecraft's client system isn't that dynamic. So tags and other things can't actually be used.

[sharp elbow]

This may be a stretch, but playAnimation could send a variable to the client that, in theory, the attachable can read. But that depends on variables being saved properly and being rendered public.

[clear pendant]

could i compress a 884 uint8 array into 6 or 12 base36 string?

or well a string with just letters and numbers

[thorn ocean]

Alright, does anyone know how to get both parents when they both breed? Cuz usually you can get the child or the parent in the events of the entity file, but never both the parents.

[warm mason]

There is no component responsible for this in the scripts yet

[distant tulip]

save the last entities the player interacted with

i did write a script for it a long time ago here

[warm mason]

This isn't accurate

[distant tulip]

yeah
it is the best you can do

[dim tusk]

I have the copy here lmao

You gave me that on statistics thing I made 7-8 months ago

[distant tulip]

yeah

[warm mason]

You can also take into account the entitySpawn event to increase accuracy. To take the closest possible parents from a born entity

[distant tulip]

that what i did i think

[dim tusk]

I'm not sure if this is it because I modified it before lmao

[distant tulip]

it is
you removed the comments lol

[dim tusk]

Yes, my file is getting bigger when I include them ☠️

[dim tusk]

huh? I don't see any comments at all

[distant tulip]

I don't see any code*

[dim tusk]

If only we can get item we can breed to mobs

[thorn ocean]

Thanks!

[warm mason]

I know how to increase accuracy to 100%!!

[distant tulip]

how?

[dim tusk]

?

[warm mason]

Just remove the component from the entity json code and create your own using scripts.

:)

[dim tusk]

😭😭 too many entities man

[distant tulip]

lol
for every entity?

[dim tusk]

And won't work to custom ones 😭

Let's see my current stats script

[warm mason]

Not at all. You can even add this behavior in other parts of your code

[warm mason]

With such ambitions, I will soon replace all components of mobs/items and blocks with scripts

[jade grail]

How does setting lore work? i tried and didnt let me

[dim tusk]

Ohh noo. Get this man away from Mojang team!!

[dim tusk]

Are you setting the item back to slot?

[distant tulip]

maybe xp take the same rotation as one of the parents...?
like how items take the rotation of who drooped them

[jade grail]

wdym?

get item set lore? then that it

[warm mason]

function giveItemWithLore(player, itemTypeId, lore, amount = 1) {
  let item = new ItemStack(itemTypeId, amount)
  item.setLore(lore)
  player.getComponent("inventory").container.addItem(item)
}

giveItemWithLore('there must be a player here', "wooden_sword", ["Lore line 1", "lore line 2"])

[dim tusk]

When you modify an item you always put the item back to the slot

It's not just renaming it then done

[jade grail]

oh k

[dim tusk]

As what serty shown

And btw it's an array

[warm mason]

I just really lack control over the behavior of entities.

[warm mason]

And one line can only take up 50 characters, and a total of a maximum of 20 lines

[dim tusk]

I am so happy that Mojang put player break and interact to stable

Few script versions ago

[dim tusk]

And that sucks....Mojang fix this
-# which they won't

            if (!itemStack || itemStack.typeId !== beforeItemStack.typeId || !itemStack.hasComponent('durability')) {
                console.error(`The item broke!`);
            } else if (durabAfter?.damage > durabBefore?.damage) {
                console.error('The item used!');
            }
        }
    }
});```

And added the before and after itemStack

[warm mason]

I'm waiting for them to remove read-only from entity.target

[dim tusk]

I could check the breaking of the item easily.... Not very accurate tho

[warm mason]

Or when they allow us to build a path through entityNavigationComponent

[warm mason]

Otherwise I will create my entityNavigationComponent

[dim tusk]

Like villager?

I kinda forgot that component ezisted

[sage portal]

I'm waiting for it to be stable :c

[warm mason]

It exists, but all its usefulness is the information that it exists

[sage portal]

quick question: is there a stable way to detect a world's difficulty via scripts?

[warm mason]

There’s not even an experimental one

[dim tusk]

getGamemode() is still beta?

Wait, stupid it's gamemode not difficult 🤦

[warm mason]

no

[sage portal]

huh. you'd figure something as simple as that would be a thing

welp.
gotta find another way to convince players not to choose hard difficulty

[dim tusk]

I asked this question many times lol... Is the damage shield get is based on the damage the attacker dealed?

[sage portal]

I believe so

[dim tusk]

You can't convince me....

[warm mason]

✅

[sage portal]

I can oneshot the shield with a high enough strength effect

[sage portal]

you poor thing

[dim tusk]

Yes!! I could detect the damage player blocked, only problem is we can't detect the actual damage when it's broken especially if the damage exceeded the shield's durability

[sage portal]

just put ">9000" and call it a day 🧹

setitem how do i add nbt tags like keep ondeath lock in slot

i cant get the lock in slot to work or i dont knw how to

[dim tusk]

ItemStack.lockMode = 'slot';

Oh...

wanna see what i tried

it told me it was a function in the editor

[dim tusk]

Ohh didn't notice the mistake lmao

[wintry bane]

What would you rather use?

if(player.getGameMode() != "creative" || player.getGameMode() != "spectator")

vs

if(!["creative", "spectator"].includes(player.getGameMode()))

[valid ice]

Second one because first is logically flawed

[round bone]

2nd

[wary edge]

&&

[valid ice]

real

The first option will always return true, because if the player is in creative, first part will return false, but second part will return true because creative is not spectator. And if the player is in spectator, same but vice versa.

[wintry bane]

My friend needs to change his ||s to &&s now haha, he still wouldn't consider the 2nd option tho

[round bone]

2nd option might be easier to fast-edit

[wintry bane]

Yeah

[round bone]

you're using array (or a Set for a bit more safety) to search for gamemode

the same complexity as if statements, but a bit cleaner

[wintry bane]

My friend sent code but sent dinner instead. He could end world hunger with alat spaghetti.

How limited is the marketplace when it comes to scripting? Stable only?

[round bone]

yeah

Writing a code for marketplace maps is a pain.

Tbh, I'm interested in what's the limit of the marketplace

[distant tulip]

[rapid sail]

so what does the getblocks do?

[fiery solar]

It lets you get all the blocks matching some filters. Much faster than looping through the whole area.

[rapid sail]

so wait if all blocks are the same in the area it will pass?

[rapid sail]

could you make an example using the if block.dimension.getBlocks()) i been struggling using it to find all the blocks that are the same state using the Minecraft: tick

[dim tusk]

Btw you need to use BlockVolume

[terse tide]

How do I use set lore

[shy leaf]

it accepts an array

[dim tusk]

#1067535608660107284 message

[dim tusk]

@rapid sail ^

[terse tide]

Im the set item I need to make like this?

Bla... Bla... Bla..
setItem(0, a defined item?)

[dim tusk]

It's an array as what seawhite said when you modify an item on inventory YOU ALWAYS PUT THE ITEM BACK TO SLOT

[shy leaf]

item.setLore(["yeet", "foobar"]);```
gotta check if its for ItemStack brb

[wary edge]

Remind me, does playerinput get trigerred for jump if jump perms are disabled?

[dim tusk]

Yes

Same as the sneak

[terse tide]

I know, I got confused with setItem

[shy leaf]

oh

[dim tusk]

const equip = player.getComponent('equippable');
const mainhand = equip.getEquipment('Mainhand');

mainhand.setLore(['test', 'test']);

// set the item back to slot
equip.setEquipment('Mainhand', mainhand);```

[terse tide]

Ty

[shy leaf]

you dont need to put item back in if youre using ContainerSlot iirc

just saying

[dim tusk]

const inventory = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
const slot = inventory.getItem(0);

slot.setLore(['test', 'test']);

// set the item back to slot
inventory.setItem(0, slot);```

[dim tusk]

yeah

[buoyant canopy]

Why the hell can't I interact with a custom block while holding a bucket???

[dim tusk]

It doesn't swing your arms like it supposed to do

[buoyant canopy]

it doesn't interact at all

[dim tusk]

Is your custom block using custom components?

[buoyant canopy]

yes, onPlayerInteract ignores interactions done with a bucket for some reason

[shy leaf]

i think this is also an issue with some of the copper blocks in vanilla

not sure if its fixed by now though

[dim tusk]

Hmm, weird... It's been awhile since I touched custom components... So I can't really say anything tho

[dim tusk]

What's the issue?

[shy leaf]

cant use items while aiming at some of the copper blocks

[buoyant canopy]

i switched to world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock and it detects it fine now... so weird

[dim tusk]

🐛🐛

[dim tusk]

Yes Soo weird

[buoyant canopy]

what's even weirder is that i have another block with custom components that interacts with bucket fine

[dim tusk]

Did you place and break the block?

After reloading

[buoyant canopy]

what do you mean?

[dim tusk]

I mean... After reloading you break and place block again since blocks that are placed and you edit the custom components it doesn't affect the placed block

[buoyant canopy]

yes, i have tried to break and replace the blocks

[rapid sail]

yes?

[dim tusk]

Click the link I put

[rapid sail]

ah i see how would i use if meaning if the block is there? and not use for?

[slim forum]

Minecraft updated and...

What is going?

Thanks

[rapid sail]

coddy?

[dim tusk]

I'm confused with your question

[rapid sail]

im trying to make a ticking block that detects if the blocks in the area are the same as the others then the block will change status

can that be done with getblocks?

[dim tusk]

You want all blocks inside of the two locations to be the same?

Returns true or false

[rapid sail]

so i add return at the end of the thing?

[dim tusk]

I'm asking you

[rapid sail]

well its not just two but yes

hang on me let explain in dms is that fine?

[dim tusk]

Hmm

[untold thunder]

How do I get an entity's scoreboard?

damagingEntity.runCommand(`camera @s set minecraft:free ease 4 linear pos ${damagingEntity.location.x + 10} ${damagingEntity.location.y + 3} ${damagingEntity.location.z} rot 40 ${rotation}`);

Why does my command not work

[idle dagger]

How to place structure with degrees? I got this

await world.structureManager.place("diagonal", player.dimension, { x: targetX, y: targetY, z: targetZ });

[sharp elbow]

@ruby haven getRotation returns an object with two properties: x and y. It does not make sense to add 90 to an object:

const rotation = {x: 0, y: 0} + 90;

I'm assuming you want the y-value; so change that line to const rotation = rot.y + 90;

[ruby haven]

Oh okay I actually want the x value cause I want the camera to be always side view no matter what is the rotation of the player in the world

[ruby haven]

Thanks by the way

How do i detect if a player blocked a projectile?

[neat hazel]

"execute as @s at @s positioned ~~~ rotated ~ -20 run camera @s set minecraft:free ease 1 out_cubic pos ^^1^4 facing @s"

How to turn this into a script, with the camera without runCommandAsync?

The logic behind this is that the camera goes in front of the player looking at him.

[ruby haven]

Where does the pos ^^^ base it's position is it the rotation of the feet of the head?

[neat hazel]

^^^ is where the player is looking, so I think it would be the position of the eyes/head

[ruby haven]

I think it's just better to use ^^^ than to get the location of the entity

[dim tusk]

What does execute as @s at @s positioned ~~~ rotated ~ -20 do?

Sorry been outdated to command for so long

[granite badger]

Try looking examples @ https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Camera.html

[ruby haven]

The ~~~ means it doesn't align to where the player is looking while ^^^ is aligned

[dim tusk]

Huhh? I'm confused with your explanation

I'm pointing out this specific part.. what does positioned do and rotated do

[ruby haven]

Oh that's just a parameter of camera command

[slow walrus]

changes the relative position to do the camera command from

so the ^^1^4 facing direction isn't actually the player's exact view direction, but rotated -20 in whichever axis that is

[neat hazel]

My code works like this

[ruby haven]

Wait so it's better to use execute than just straight out camera command

[ruby haven]

Cause in my code I used the player as runner of the command so I thought that it is also the executor

[neat hazel]

I didn't understand

[dim tusk]

Ohh so it's just following the y rotation but not where the player is looking?

[dim tusk]

That's why he said setCamera version

Did you backread 😭

[neat hazel]

yeah

[ruby haven]

What I mean is if it is better to use /execute as @s at @s rather than /camera @s

[dim tusk]

Is he not doing it already?

And he use /camera to change view

I probably can do it.. but I'm kinda lazy to do it loo

[ruby haven]

dang I didn't read the command clearly but I think using positioned and rotated may solve my problem

Heyyy! can somebody help me, I have a question about knockback, I am making an addon and want if you get the tag knockback, that you get pushed into the air for 10 block, then the tag removes, can somebody help me? Thanks! 😄

wow that was fast!

I will test it!

is that good?
import * as mc from "@minecraft/server";

system.runInterval(() => {
for (let player of world.getPlayers({ tags: ["knockback"] })) {
player.applyKnockback(0, 0, 4, 5)

because it didn't work :C

[warm mason]

no?

you didn't see anything

it was weird langue

so nope

[ember swallow]

:C

[warm mason]

import * as name means you are importing everything from that module and you need to write it with the prefix you specified. For example mc.system

[ember swallow]

but now it works on me

no

only players

how to fic?

some thing there are disabeled, like gray

In the setRotation property if I disabled bothe the camera and movement of a player using input permission will it still work?

Noooooooo

[distant tulip]

tp is the only option

[ruby haven]

Yeah

[dim tusk]

^ if possible
-# bump

[ruby haven]

I think there is a ravager_blocked thing component in json

[random flint]

projectileHitEntity?

[dim tusk]

I'm not sure but i think it won't trigger since the projectile is not even hitting the player at all right?

[random flint]

is it shield?

[dim tusk]

Uhh... What? I'm talking about script only

[dim tusk]

Yahh

[random flint]

Either you check with projectileHitEntity, or entityRemove (beforeEvent)

[dim tusk]

hmm, looks like I'll be ditching this for now... My idea was to detect the amount of damage shield blocked since the durability damage shield takes is based on the damage the attacker dealt

My first idea was to use runtInterval to detect it but not reliable because the player can just change the durability of the shield using commands or scripts.... Lmao

[random flint]

Spawn an invisible entity at the projectile location upon entitySpawn, solely to sponge up the damage. Has no defense, which gives an accurate measurement of the damage.

Spawn the projectile again, if it despawns from hitting the invisible entity, and it is spawnable. Copy-paste the projectile component of the old one to the new one.

[dim tusk]

For projectiles or for Melee attacks too?

[random flint]

I think that approach would be more effective for projectiles

[dim tusk]

K, I'll be saving this but I'll be ditching this part of my idea and move on to the next one

[ruby haven]

const dx = deadEntity.location.x - damagingEntity.location.x;
const dz = deadEntity.location.z - damagingEntity.location.z;
const yaw = Math.atan2(dz, dx) * (180 / Math.PI);

Should I change the 180 to 360?

[ruby haven]

This is supposed to teleport the player facing a certain entity but they are not parallel I'm not getting the desired rotation

I don't know if Minecraft uses -180 to 180 or 0 to 360

[random flint]

player.teleport(location,{
facingLocation: entity.location
})

🤓👆

[ruby haven]

I wish this works if not then it has to be the issue where I disabled both the players movement and camera

[random flint]

Well, I got this shitty snippet of mine.
-# (Return Vector2, Rotation for the camera origin to face the target location)

function cameraRotation(cameraPosition, targetPosition) {
  const directionVector = {
    x: targetPosition.x - cameraPosition.x,
    y: targetPosition.y - cameraPosition.y,
    z: targetPosition.z - cameraPosition.z
  };

  const yawAngle = -Math.atan2(directionVector.x, directionVector.z) * (180 / Math.PI);

  const xzDistance = Math.hypot(directionVector.x, directionVector.z);
  const pitchAngle = -Math.atan2(directionVector.y, xzDistance) * (180 / Math.PI);

  return { pitch: pitchAngle, yaw: yawAngle };
}

[distant tulip]

maybe get the arrow and detect when it velocity change by a big amount
this apply to some other cases too, so maybe add more filters

[dim tusk]

Maybe i could detect the block of the melee attack if the entity who attacked got pushed 🤷

Just a hunch, cause it doesn't apply to all like if the entity has knockback resistance like ravagers

[celest abyss]

It is possible to detect when a player dies

?

[distant tulip]

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe((event)=>{
    const {damageSource, deadEntity} = event
    if(deadEntity.typeId === "minecraft:player"){}
    
})

[ruby haven]

Is there a way to make an entity stop moving or looking

[warm mason]

entity.clearVelocity()

[ruby haven]

This will be faster than activating functions in json right?

[warm mason]

It will be the same

[ruby haven]

I'm surprised it is a lot faster

[dim tusk]

idk if this is an intentional thing but the isFalling function on players, when I tp them from above it doesn't trigger unless I move an inch

Can anyone confirm if this is intentional because I don't like it lmao

If anyone is gonna ask, I'm on 1.21.60.21

[narrow patio]

how do you get getComponet typings

[dim tusk]

Entity, item or blocks?

[narrow patio]

entity

    system.runTimeout(() => {
      damagingEntity.teleport({ x: newX, y: newY, z: newZ }, {
        facingLocation: deadEntity.location
      });
    }, 20);
    system.runTimeout(() => {
      damagingEntity.runCommand(`execute as @s at @s positioned ~~~ rotated ${rotation}~-20 run camera @s set minecraft:free ease 1 out_cubic pos ^4^6^6 facing @s`);
    }, 10)

What do I do here so that I will always get the same rotation of the camera everytime, I wanted create a constant side view scene, I tried taking the rotation of the entity then adding 90 to it but it doesn't work sometimes sideview sometimes front view sometimes back view

Go to debug playground and try to debug your code

idk

[warm mason]

This means you need to send a code

[simple arch]

what code?

[warm mason]

Somewhere in the code you are trying to get a component from undefined, which means some variable in which there should be an entity can be equal to undefined

quick question.... if a class has a static beta function in it, but you are not using it in your stable add-on... is it gonna freak out to be there?

[dim tusk]

Yes, using beta on stable version of script will freak out while using stable in beta won't

[neat hound]

Not using it. It is just in my blockClass

[dim tusk]

Yes very much possible

Yo can anyone suggest a good & useful and vanilla-ish command I should make? For example I have the !home command, !tps and many more, but I just ran into a dead end... and yeah I want to make alot of commands but there aren't any command ideas that don't turn the server into a factions server. Any good suggestions? (If you can come up with a staff command I'll make it too :])

[distant tulip]

!spawn
!rules

[chilly fractal]

Already done

[distant tulip]

!set-rules

[chilly fractal]

Bet

Done

[distant tulip]

!log (chat)

!mute (chat)

[chilly fractal]

Already done with 3 variations (chatlog & commandlog & actionlog)

And mute already done

[distant tulip]

!muteall

[chilly fractal]

Good idea ima rename to lock chat tho

[distant tulip]

!announce (save a message and show it to every player once)
!join-message (save a message and show it to players when they join)

[chilly fractal]

Already done :)

Can you suggest some player wise commands tho?

[distant tulip]

!deathlog ? show past death infos

[chilly fractal]

Within actionlogs (becuz there is a max of 10 lifes system)

BTW can you get suggest some player commands? Cuz there is barely any commands there

[distant tulip]

can't think of any

!schedule <world/selector> <message>
set a timer to send a message
!reminder <time> <message> <message/actionbar/title>

!randomblock <true/false> <[slots]>
on payer place a block randomly swap blocks from selected slots to main hand (for building)

[warm mason]

!invsee - to view another player’s inventory (available only for admins)

[scarlet sable]

Is there an "is typing" function?

[warm mason]

no

[jolly citrus]

what do i do guys

how to track down the problem

i even turned all my intervals and i still get this

[chilly fractal]

Already done :)

[chilly fractal]

If it is on using /reload or when loading world/server/Realm for first time then it's okay, but if it's after that then there is something a bit optimized in your code

[jolly citrus]

no it happens every tick

like the numbers are racking up every single second

but it's weird,

even NA players on my world dont complain about lag??

people are asking me how it runs so smoothly

with so many scripts

[chilly fractal]

So you have long running operations I believe.

[jolly citrus]

yes

[chilly fractal]

It's the cause of the problem, and you create an interval on each snowball spawn, which is in fact not performant at all. Now from the "cd" and "rid" I believe you are trying to despawn the snowball if it lives for 160 ticks, now a better way to do this is doing a system.runTimeout(() => { // code }, 160);

[jolly citrus]

no

it's not ticks

its for a cooldown

16 seconds

[chilly fractal]

Alright then what is it?

[jolly citrus]

1 = 1 tenth of a second here

its for the player

cooldown when using a special item

[chilly fractal]

Alright there is a better way to do this just set a cooldown key and after 16*20 (converts 16s to ticks) just deletes that map

Example would be
