Script API General

[ruby haven]

Wait will a player die if I add the component minecraft:instant_despawn

[dim tusk]

No

Btw can you specify wym by replaces button like put he button back?

[ruby haven]

Okay so the smile entity kills the player it doesn't actually die cause it has the minimum health component so it will be present in the death scene the problem is after the death scene I expect the player to actually die you know where the respawn UI appears but I can't override the minimum health component so there is no way for it to work

[patent tapir]

It works now

I just had to replace ‘north’ with like 5 or something

[ruby haven]

Any way to prevent the player from disappearing without the minimum health component when an entity kills it?

[dim tusk]

Lmao, see you did something wrong again

[patent tapir]

I STILL don’t understand why you used north

Because the numbers work and not the words.

Even in /setblock

[dim tusk]

it's just snippet okay?
-# and I forgot state name again

[patent tapir]

I still don’t know what you want from me

I thought I explained it very well

[dim tusk]

Yeah, but I was just making sure, if replace the button with another button or just place it back 🤷

[patent tapir]

Yeah… i place it back. obviously. once the player is tp’ed back to spawn.

I just destroy it so the player can’t push it again during the animation (the logic is all put into REACHING the button, not PUSHING it)

And for dramatic effect

Anyway im gonna get some dinner

[ruby haven]

Okay instead of using entitydie how about entity hurt detect if the health of the entity is 2 it will recreate the death scene but how do I make sure that even if the damage of the smile is 100 it will still leave 2 hearts for the player?

[remote oyster]

Script API isn't capable of doing that on its own at the moment. Assuming you are trying to prevent death.

[ruby haven]

Nooooooooo

[meager cargo]

Hello, I have question if there is possibility to trigger events on entity by using in entity behavior properties and control that by script?
Example: Entity has 0-1 properties if it has tag - "test0" it will change in script property to 0 and then event will be triggered and if it has "test1" tag it will trigger another event and it will be done in scripts too.

I don't want use only commands, because it must be set up for many entities on the map

[remote oyster]

That is possible.

[meager cargo]

Can you tell me/point me how I can achieve that? I've tried entity.setProperty("test:test, state);
And then in system.runInterval if entity has tag it will check player in radius like that in full script:

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

const CHECKPOINTS = [7, 10];
const SIGN_TYPE = "test:entity";

// Function to set the entity's parkour display state
function setDisplayState(entity, state) {
    entity.setProperty("parkour:display_state", state);
}

system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getPlayers();

    players.forEach((player) => {
        const scoreboard = player.getScoreboard();
        let checkpoint = scoreboard.getObjective("checkpoint")?.getScore(player) || 0;

        const queryOptions = { type: SIGN_TYPE, tags: ["tag1"] };
        const nSigns = player.dimension.getEntities(queryOptions);

        nSigns .forEach((sign) => {
            const distance = player.location.distanceTo(sign.location);

            switch (checkpoint) {
                case 0:
                    if (distance <= CHECKPOINTS[0]) {
                        setDisplayState(sign, 0); // novisible
                        player.runCommand("scoreboard players set @s checkpoint 1");
                    }
                    break;

                case 1:
                    setDisplayState(sign, 1); // appear
                    player.runCommand("scoreboard players set @s checkpoint 2");
                    break;

                case 2:
                    if (distance > CHECKPOINTS[0] && distance <= CHECKPOINTS[1]) {
                        setDisplayState(sign, 2); // visible
                        player.runCommand("scoreboard players set @s checkpoint 3");
                    }
                    break;

                case 3:
                    setDisplayState(sign, 3); // disappear
                    player.runCommand("scoreboard players set @s checkpoint 0");
                    break;

                default:
                    break;
            }
        });
    });
}, 20); // Run every tick (20 ms)

[crude ferry]

how can i make a entity MOVE, not teleport, in a given direction?

[bright dove]

how do you make a custom component that ticks randomly ?

[warm mason]

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

[warm mason]

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(event => {
  event.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("wiki:tick_component", {
    onRandomTick: (data => {
      let block = data.block
      //Code
    })
  })
})

[crude ferry]

You life saver human being.

Thanks.

[bright dove]

I want to make the random tick a certain range

[warm mason]

?

[bright dove]

like, from 5-6 ticks, execute the code

[warm mason]

Script:

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(event => {
  event.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("wiki:tick_component", {
    onTick: (data => {
      let block = data.block
      //Code
    })
  })
})```

Block: 
```json
"minecraft:custom_components": [
  "wiki:tick_component"
],
"minecraft:tick": {
  "interval_range": [5, 6],
  "looping": true
}

[crude ferry]

Wait, so how can I set the time taken to move the given value?

[distant tulip]

it is applying velocity
not "move to" function

[crude ferry]

Oh :O

right...

now i get it.

[distant tulip]

https://github.com/nox7/mc-bedrock-villager-system/blob/main/scripts/Walker/EntityWalker.ts

[warm mason]

function move(entity, vector, time = 1) {
  let id = system.runInterval(() => {
    if (!entity.isValid() || time < 0) return system.clearRun(id)
    entity.applyImpulse(vector)
    time--
  })
}

[marsh berry]

Hi. I cant seem to get past and issue in having with privlages in a code i have:
import { HttpRequest,HttpRequestMethod, HttpHeader, http} from '@minecraft/server-net';
import { world } from '@minecraft/server';console.log("før senddata");

export function sendDataToWebsite(data) {
const url ="https//eozghbch9kyk3aa.m.pipedream.net";
const req = new HttpRequest(url);
req.body = JSON.stringify(data);
req.method = HttpRequestMethod.Post;
req.headers = [
new HttpHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
];
http.request(req);
}

Is there something i am missing? I have server-net in my manifest and permission file in the config folder. On my server i also went inn and changed permissions on all folders and files for my addon to read/write. I am using crafty as a server client that runs in a Docker on my server that is using unraid (so Linux).

[distant tulip]

this is from nox7 with a proper A* algo and everything

[crude ferry]

Aw man that's genius lol. Would have taken me a while to figure out.

I thought it is a move to function.

[distant tulip]

it will look better if you set the rotation too

i need answer

[slow walrus]

worst thing you can do with scripting is use AI. dont do it.

[meager cargo]

Yeah, I get that 🥺 , but I'm not programmer, I'm self-learner, so still using some chatgpt to some base of code is still better than doing all by myself for now. After month of trying I can do simple mechanics like changing blocks, dtecting entities, etc. But for complex scripts or something new is hard for me

[warm mason]

The fact that you are a self-learner, on the contrary, should give you a bonus in development

And even if you don’t understand something, it’s better to come here than to an AI that writes absolutely meaningless code

|| By the way, how does a self-learner ask for help if he is a self-learner. It turns out that he is no longer a self-learner ||

[meager cargo]

So I don't know what am I 😵‍💫

[warm mason]

So what do you need

[meager cargo]

I managed since my first message above about detecting property of entity to make script which is running events on entity by detecting player in radius.
I wanted do it by properties from 0 to 4 in entity behavior. Script should detect if player is near then change property from 0 to 1, if it's near and stay in radius then change from 1 to 2, if player leave radius it will change to 3 property and then after it will go back to 0.

I made that on in scripts and triggering event with animations

But it's on events not on properties

[warm mason]

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (let id of ["overworld","nether","the_end"]) {
    for (let entity of world.getDimension(id).getEntities({type: "test:entity"})) {
      let property = entity.getProperty("parkour:display_state") || 0
      if (entity.dimension.getPlayers({location: entity.location, maxDistance: 5})) {
        if (property < 2) entity.setProperty("parkour:display_state", property+1)
      } else if (property == 3) {
        entity.setProperty("parkour:display_state", 0)
      } else if (property > 0) {
        entity.setProperty("parkour:display_state", 3)
      }
    }
  }
}, 80)

[meager cargo]

Thank you very much for help!

[empty yoke]

Do dynamic properties have a creation limit?

[warm mason]

no

[empty yoke]

Thank you, I'm trying to learn, I have another question. Would it be better to save the properties on the player, or to create a system that saves every player in the game, setting properties for each one? Additionally, if I save the players in a map, will the player be removed when they leave, or will they remain in the map? Only if owner leave the world will all the variables reset, correct?

[warm mason]

If a player leaves, his variable will not be available. You can check if it is available via the player.isValid() method. When a variable is not available (the entity is not in the world) then you cannot use its methods and properties

[empty yoke]

I am trying to create a tool to simplify some functionalities during script creation. I'm not sure if it's correct to save this data on the player, or if I should save everything internally in the code.

[warm mason]

There is no need to save to the world as it does not change during the game so just save in variables

[warm mason]

You can't trust everything that's written in the documentation.

[wary edge]

That doesn't answer my question.

[warm mason]

Then I didn’t understand what you needed

[remote oyster]

It may be obsolete since they have a dedicated event, but I feel like that event is a waste of resources and would be better suited the other way. Personal opinion and thoughts.

[wary edge]

Could you provide further clarification? Are you referring to EntityLoad being a waste of resources and should be merged into EntitySpawn?

[remote oyster]

Correct

[wary edge]

Inclined to agree when EntityInitializationCause contains a loaded member.

[remote oyster]

I suppose raising a ticket may bring resolve.

[wary edge]

I already brought it up in the OSS and bumped my message there already. Just gotta wait to see if Navi notices.

[dense kayak]

Hey, with @server-net I am getting

TypeError: Native property setter [HttpRequest::method] cannot be assigned null or undefined

the doc's example says this req.method = HttpRequestMethod.Post

but mine says Post doesn't exsist its POST request.method = HttpRequestMethod.POST

I've debugged this on it's own and the enum returns undefined.

Imports:import { HttpRequest, HttpHeader, HttpRequestMethod, http } from '@minecraft/server-net';

#1067535608660107284 message I can see someone had the same and setting it to 1.0.0-beta fixed it for them but I am already using it

[distant tulip]

try using the string directly "Post"

[dense kayak]

ah new errors, that's progression 😆 thanks

ayee, db insert working, that was the fix thank you

[distant tulip]

ur wlc

[granite badger]

You might have been using an older version of the types, but nice to see it works

[stark kestrel]

isnt it possible to mute errors?

[wary edge]

What do you mean?

[stark kestrel]

like i made a systemfor block breaking keeps throwing a error that dynamic property not found bla bla error in hand, cuz its meant to only be in a pickaxe

if i break with hand ^ i get error, if with pickaxe i dont

[wary edge]

Then you need to set up a guard clause.

if(empty hand) return;

[stark kestrel]

thanks!

appreciate that

[wheat condor]

if (!itemStack.typeId.includes('pickaxe')) return;

[stark kestrel]

thanks!!

[marsh berry]

Does anyone know what can cause this error?

[warm mason]

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

[marsh berry]

The text over the error is the test to see if its a valid string

Omg. And i was just reading about that today. Gises. A new error. But at least im one stepp forward. Thanks for the hint!

[meager cargo]

Can someone help me with script for detecting if player is on ground?
I have this:

function isPlayerOnGround(player) {
    const pos = player.location;
    const yPosInt = Math.floor(pos.y);

    if (pos.y - yPosInt > 0.1) {
        return false;
    }

    const blockBelow = player.dimension.getBlock({ x: pos.x, y: yPosInt - 1.5, z: pos.z });
    return blockBelow && blockBelow.typeId !== "minecraft:air";
}

[jolly citrus]

do I need to take any extra measures to be able to use typescript for my script files? will it work without anything extra

[wheat condor]

player.isOnGround -_-

[wheat condor]

[meager cargo]

wow, xd then, thanks a lot!

[thorn flicker]

lol

[meager cargo]

Yeah yeah, I will remember that after my stupid question 😛

[thorn flicker]

stupidity vs ignorance

[meager cargo]

Question from another topic, do you guys use any of obfuscating tools? Or do you have any idea of creating good one for js and json files? Is this common to use them?

[thorn flicker]

you might need to pay for a good one

[meager cargo]

I have one for js, it's not bad and not best. But for json files I've tried looking for, many times but without succeed.

[deep yew]

yeah JSON just uses unicode and stuff and is easily decoded with just console.log

[wheat condor]

obfuscating is trash and since javascript is a garbage language it does not compile

[deep yew]

whatever that's supposed to mean

[jolly citrus]

is there any other way to hide the "Has Customised Properties" text on items with dynamic properties other than lang files?

[open urchin]

/gamerule showtags false i think

[jolly citrus]

yep that works, thx

does it do anything else than specifically hide this text?

[open urchin]

it hides the itemlock triangle and text

[jolly citrus]

oohh

[thorn flicker]

doesnt it hide lore aswell?

[jolly citrus]

that's amazing how have I never heard about this before

[jolly citrus]

no

definitely does not

[thorn flicker]

good

[steady canopy]

what db are u using

[distant tulip]

using get block from a ray that aimed at the edge of a block make the ray go through it, is there any work around for this problem?

[dim tusk]

If ever someone needs it but I'm now sure if it's really a "solution" but just use getBlockFromRay() instead of getBlockFromViewDirection()

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        const head = player.getHeadLocation();
        const block = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay({ x: head.x, y: head.y + 0.1, z: head.z }, player.getViewDirection(), { maxDistance: 10, includePassableBlocks: true });
        console.error(block?.block.typeId, JSON.stringify(block?.block.location))
    }
});```

For those who would ask why add 0.1, the y-axis in head location doesn't align in the players view that's why I added it

-# and I feel like I'm kinda late to this problem LMAO

[patent tapir]

Why is it that when the conditions are filled for me to get weakness, it toggles very quickly between “0” and “event timer index invalid” in the effect duration in-game?

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

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("killStales").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) > 0) world.scoreboard.getObjective("killStales").addScore(player.scoreboardIdentity, -1)
  }
}, 200)

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("killStales").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) > 5) player.addEffect("weakness", 3, { showParticles: false, amplifier: (world.scoreboard.getObjective("killStales").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) - 6) })
  }
})

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe((eventData) => {
  if (eventData.deadEntity instanceof Player && eventData.damageSource.damagingEntity instanceof Player) { world.scoreboard.getObjective("killStales").addScore(eventData.damageSource.damagingEntity.scoreboardIdentity, 1) }
})```

[solar dagger]

how can i set the camera to face the player from above?

[unique acorn]

can dynamicProperties store an array list?

[solar dagger]

With JSON.stringify

[unique acorn]

thanks

[distant tulip]

use player location in the camera facingLocation

[patent tapir]

Seriously why doesn’t player.addEffect() work

I have to use player.runCommand() instead

And that’s really slow apparently

[valid ice]

Problem is that it works but has the weird index thingy, yeah?

Make it run once a second instead of every tick

Can also check the status of the applied effect, and only add it when the duration is getting low (or does not match the scoreboard value) instead of applying it every single tick

[patent tapir]

I saw you coddy

[patent tapir]

Ok but even if I increase the duration it still says invalid index and 0 seconds

Is changing how often it happens really going to change anything?

[valid ice]

it’s worth a shot- see if increasing it to once per second does anything ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[past blaze]

Note that duration is in ticks and not seconds

[patent tapir]

Right now there’s also another file that has a similar idea

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    const hasteLevel = world.scoreboard.getObjective("hasteLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) != undefined ? world.scoreboard.getObjective("hasteLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) : 0
    const strengthLevel = world.scoreboard.getObjective("strengthLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) != undefined ? world.scoreboard.getObjective("strengthLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) : 0
    const speedLevel = world.scoreboard.getObjective("speedLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) != undefined ? world.scoreboard.getObjective("speedLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) : 0
    const saturationLevel = world.scoreboard.getObjective("speedLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) != undefined ? world.scoreboard.getObjective("saturationLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) : 0
    const fireResLevel = world.scoreboard.getObjective("speedLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) != undefined ? world.scoreboard.getObjective("fireResLevel").getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) : 0
    if (hasteLevel > 0 && player.getEffects().includes("haste") == false) {
      player.runCommand(`effect @s haste infinite ${hasteLevel - 1} true`)
    }
    if (strengthLevel > 0 && player.getEffects().includes("strength") == false) {
      player.runCommand(`effect @s strength infinite ${strengthLevel - 1} true`)
    }
    if (speedLevel > 0 && player.getEffects().includes("speed") == false) {
      player.runCommand(`effect @s speed infinite ${speedLevel - 1} true`)
    }
    if (saturationLevel > 0 && player.getEffects().includes("saturation") == false) {
      player.runCommand(`effect @s saturation infinite ${saturationLevel - 1} true`)
    }
    if (fireResLevel > 0 && player.getEffects().includes("fire_resistance") == false) {
      player.runCommand(`effect @s fire_resistance infinite ${fireResLevel - 1} true`)
    }
  }
})```

[patent tapir]

I know that very well, thank you very much

[past blaze]

Just making sure 👍

[patent tapir]

This file is much more important than the pvpStaling file, I already turned that one off because it was apparently causing a lot of the lag (found out from the profiling script)

But the ascendantEffects file is also causing a lot of lag

And I’m not entirely sure how to use all the api player.addEffects function correctly

[dim tusk]

y'know you can just !player.getEffect('haste') right?

[patent tapir]

It run strictly on the SCOREBOARD EFFECT LEVEL you have, because you BUY those effects

[dim tusk]

I'm talking about the player.getEffects().includes()

[patent tapir]

Did you look at the code…?

Of course I did that.

Oh.

[dim tusk]

umm you're the one who didn't understand my point

[patent tapir]

Now I realize what you want me to do.

[dim tusk]

What I'm saying is instead of player.getEffects().includes('haste') === false you can just !player.getEffect('haste')

[patent tapir]

Yeah yeh

[dim tusk]

😭🤦

[patent tapir]

My issue is the player.runCommand

Not the if/else

If I do player.addEffect() well, it doesn’t like the duration for some reason

[dim tusk]

If you want to set infinite effect using scripts nope you can't

[patent tapir]

I know that

But I set the duration to like 1 or something and it also doesn’t like it

It gives the effect and immediately cancels it and in the effect time it goes from 0 > “event timer index invalid” in less than 1/5 of a second

[wary edge]

It's in ticks, not seconds.

[patent tapir]

OHHHHHHHH

Gah

I’m dumb

[wary edge]

Simple mistake I've made numerous times.

[dim tusk]

But you literally said you know that

[patent tapir]

I didn’t realize .addEffect() used ticks

[patent tapir]

I thought they were talking about system.runInterval().

[distant tulip]

quick question, what dose duration return if we used getEffect in infinite effect?

[dim tusk]

Just divide the value to 20

[patent tapir]

Idk how to do that. I’ll just set [the duration] to 20.

[dim tusk]

player.addEffect('speed', (value * 20), { showParticles: false, amplifier: 1 })

[patent tapir]

I read TO 20, not BY 20 dude

I thought they were two different syntaxes by the way you said it

[dim tusk]

And it's not my fault you read it that way

[patent tapir]

Well sure I guess you could make an argument that I didn’t know that dividing TO something wasn’t a syntax.

[dim tusk]

the value you want to set in duration is seconds right? Just divide the value by 20 since 20 ticks is 1 second in real life

[patent tapir]

That would be times though.

Not divide.

[dim tusk]

Ohh shii

Yeah your right lmao

[dim tusk]

Mehh you can just change it

[patent tapir]

I’ll just do 20 for one second, thank you

I’ve worked with command blocks for a lot longer before starting to do addons

I know how to work with ticks

[dim tusk]

Obvious.

[patent tapir]

Aw, what made that so easy to tell? 🗿

[patent tapir]

Uh-huh

[distant tulip]

bump... 👀

[patent tapir]

And the message that you chose to screenshot is just so funny to me

[dim tusk]

not valid value I guess? Afaik the values accepted are from 0 to 2 million?

Or 200k I forgor

[patent tapir]

How do you even get the data of a certain effect/???????///??///???/

[dense kayak]

Using Supabase just for a proof of concept. I've never touched server-net so wanted to plat around with it

[dim tusk]

Duration and amplifier?

[patent tapir]

Yea

[dim tusk]

const effect = player.getEffect('haste');
effect.duration;
effect.amplifier;```

[patent tapir]

Huh

[dim tusk]

Wym "huh"? It's obvious already

const effect = player.getEffect('haste');

console.error(effect.amplifier, effect.duration); // returns the amplifier and duration of effect, returns 'undefined' if effect doesn't exist on entity```

[viscid horizon]

is there any methods for reloading the world using scripts

[patent tapir]

I guess I just turned a bind eye to the .getEffect() function, I only ever used the .getEffects() function

[dim tusk]

purely just script API? No afaik

iirc someone said you can do it with vscode

[dim tusk]

getEffects() returns an array

Use find()

Or whatever

[patent tapir]

Would source.removeEffect() remove ALL effects if not specified?

[dim tusk]

No I think?

Just use getEffects(), get all effects and you said y'know how to use it so it would be easy for you

[patent tapir]

Ok then would this work? js for (const effect of source.getEffects) { source.removeEffect(effect) }

[dim tusk]

Hmm...

[wary edge]

Yep.

[patent tapir]

I could also do source.runCommand(“effect @s clear”)

[patent tapir]

But if Smoky says that’ll work i guess that’ll work

[dim tusk]

Damn, I felt kinda nvm...

[patent tapir]

Apparently not
[Scripting][error]-TypeError: value is not iterable at <anonymous> (betterButtonTp.js:323)

[wary edge]

*.getEffects()

Not .getEffects

[patent tapir]

Oh I’m dumb

[wary edge]

Minor oversight.

[remote oyster]

I've made that mistake before.

[tight plume]

how do i define that a variable is instance of for example Player class so i could get the autocompletions? Without using TS?

[sharp elbow]

You could either use JSDoc or use type guards.

[unique dragon]

why without TS

💀

TS is life

[tight plume]

because having to compile everytime is ass

[wary edge]

Such a minor inconvenience.

[valid ice]

tsc --watch go brrr

[unique dragon]

yea

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/typescript.html#app

good config

[patent tapir]

WHY DIDN’T I SEE THAT 🤦

Now I don’t have to use runCommand for inventory stuff

[jolly citrus]

am i the only one whose game starts doing a long flashback of everything that happened whilst i was gone if i go afk for a long time in my worlds with scripts at like 3-5fps

[patent tapir]

Am I doing this right? I’m giving anybody who kills the ender dragon ONE dragon egg js killer.getComponent("inventory").container.addItem({ amount: 1, typeId: "minecraft:dragon_egg" })

Or do I have to do something like js killer.getComponent("inventory").container.addItem(new ItemStack = { typeId: "minecraft:dragon_egg", amount: 1 })

[warm mason]

.addItem(new ItemStack("dragon_egg", 1))

[patent tapir]

that would work?

thanks then

[jolly citrus]

how do i send a message to all players in an array

[tight plume]

?

[jolly citrus]

how do I send a message to all players in an array

is my question

what are you questioning

[tight plume]

what do you mean in an array

players that are in an array?

[jolly citrus]

filtered result of world.getPlayers()

[jolly citrus]

yes

Player[]

without loop

it will be too inefficient that way

[tight plume]

uh, so do you want to send message to only one player?

[jolly citrus]

no

an array..

do you know what an array is..

["apple","banana","mango"]

[tight plume]

yes but in order to run methods on multiple players, you need loops

[jolly citrus]

each player in the array should be sent a specific message

[jolly citrus]

is there really no other way than that

for sending messages

[tight plume]

there is but its more inefficient than using a loop

so just use loops

[jolly citrus]

ok

[jolly citrus]

can i check if a spawned mob was spawned from a spawner?

[distant gulch]

How do I track the speed in which a player is moving?

I want to runan applyKnockback horizontal strength based on their speed

[jolly citrus]

Player.prototype.getVelocity()

[distant gulch]

Whats the diff between prototype and just getVelocity?

[jolly citrus]

nothing

prototype is used to display the methods available for a class

idk what the actual technical definition of it is but like

outside of an actual Player object you cant do Player.getVelocity() it has to be Player.prototype.getVelocity()

In programming, inheritance refers to passing down characteristics from a parent to a child so that a new piece of code can reuse and build upon the features of an existing one. JavaScript implements inheritance by using objects. Each object has an internal link to another object called its prototype. That prototype object has a prototype of its own, and so on until an object is reached with null as its prototype. By definition, null has no prototype and acts as the final link in this prototype chain. It is possible to mutate any member of the prototype chain or even swap out the prototype at runtime, so concepts like static dispatching do not exist in JavaScript.

something lik ethis

[distant gulch]

Ah

[jolly citrus]

just dont care about it it means the same thing as calling method getVelocity() on an actual target that you have

[distant gulch]

I wasn't sure that getVelocity got speed too, I assumed it was direction of movement

thanks!

alr

[jolly citrus]

well no you have to calculate it based on each direction of movement

idk how but theres def a formula just look it up

it returns Vector3 meaning it gives you the speed they are moving at in each direction

if you move 45 degrees away from south you will move like at speed |x| = 0.5 and |z| = 0.5 i think

[distant gulch]

Ah

I see

that's strange

[distant gulch]

I'll go look for a formula lol

[jolly citrus]

not strange it's helpful in many scenarios

better than just 'straightforwardly' returning theactual speed bc that speed can't be really reversed back to a 3-dimensional format

maybe with viewdirection you could but idk im not good at math

[distant gulch]

alright, thanks so much!

[warm mason]

No

[burnt remnant]

lets say this code is being executed from a block using custom components and on player interact and i wanted to detect every block, then if any of those match X block, i can change them to something else for each block in a 10x10x10 radius, would i have to make a line of code detecting every block all 1000, or can it be done easier like in one swoop.

so pretty much can i interact with my custom block and it changes all cobblestone around it in a 10x10x10 radius to netherrack in less than 1000 lines of code

wait im so dumb i can use a replace command no one look at me

[dim tusk]

Quick question can you add enchaments in items in the constructor? Like the new ItemStack()

[chilly fractal]

Yes

[chilly fractal]

Yes

You are gonna require lots of logic tho.

I can send you my code (if you want)

You are gonna need to have some kind of filtering and checking position and spawn cause, but using a spawn egg near a spawner will also work like the mob spawner spawning mobs, (the cause you should be detecting is "Spawned" and you should probably make a weakMap and in the beforeEvent of itemUseOn if it's within the Radius of a spawner then y'know? Some logic to stop the entitySpawn event from falsely detecting..)

[chilly fractal]

You got to do a playerInteractWithBlock afterEvent and do a system.runJob() generator function to set as many blocks as you need without causing lag

[dim tusk]

Nice thanks for confirmation... And you look scary with that pfp

[chilly fractal]

Haha, thanks, I have been designing it for like 2 months, trying to perfect it to the maximum...

[dim tusk]

Damn it looks nice frfr... Next time if I have time I'll design mine but I don't have something in my mind rn lmao...
-# just an excuse cause I don't know how to design at ALL lol

[chilly fractal]

Lol

[slow walrus]

speed is just the vector's length

or magnitude

which would be sqrt(x*x + y*y + z*z)

[distant gulch]

This does what I need pretty well

system.runInterval(() => {
for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
const currentLoc = player.location;
system.runTimeout(() => {
const newLoc = player.location;
const deltaX = newLoc.x - currentLoc.x;
const deltaY = newLoc.y - currentLoc.y;
const deltaZ = newLoc.z - currentLoc.z;
var speed = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(deltaX, 2) + Math.pow(deltaY, 2) + Math.pow(deltaZ, 2));
player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(Speed - X: ${Math.floor((newLoc.x - currentLoc.x) * 100)}, Z: ${Math.floor((newLoc.z - currentLoc.z) * 100)}\n${Math.floor(speed * 100)})
}, 2)
}
})

[slow walrus]

mmm that delta stuff is redundant lol

just use getVelocity

[distant gulch]

Its not abt delta

well yes

it is

but I got speed from finding where u were a couple ticks ago

what would be the equation to do the exact same thing with velocity?

but all in the same tick

instead of running multiple ticks

does pythagorean work with that too?

[slow walrus]

you velocity is delta-pos over delta-time

[distant gulch]

Rlly all I want is to be able to track the players speed

[slow walrus]

yes lol

velocity is just a vector

[distant gulch]

So it would just be

[slow walrus]

and your "speed" is just the magnitude of your velocity

speed is velocity without a direction

so you just replace deltaX etc with velocity.x etc

[distant gulch]

I see

[slow walrus]

in you speed calc

also use let instead of var

[distant gulch]

And I wouldnt even need a timeout that way

dope

[slow walrus]

yep

[distant gulch]

I switched to const

[slow walrus]

even better

[distant gulch]

but ye I didnt like var

Alr, well thanks so much!

its minecraft js

[slow walrus]

var hoists the variable into the global scope so it's generally not great to use

[distant gulch]

not regylar js

yeah

alr

well ima go work on this

thanks

[slow walrus]

np 👍

[autumn seal]

[warm mason]

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

[autumn seal]

👍

[autumn seal]

finally got my tool based silk touch figured out

avoiding using /setblock command but now theres a slight delay between breaking and particles/sound

[jolly citrus]

yeah this was my 2nd resort for it

i was wondering if there was a native way for it but i guess not

[sage sparrow]

hi there, do someone know if it is possible to use spawnParticles in a way the particle understand it is attached to the player?
for instance, I have a custom particle that have this:json "minecraft:emitter_local_space": { "position": true, "rotation": true, "velocity": false },So when this particle is executed from a animation it takes in consideration the head and looking direction of the mob.
but when executed from API, there is no way to tell the particle what entity/player this particle belongs to?

[jolly citrus]

can I set the lore of an itemstack without tick privileges somehow

[chilly fractal]

Nope

You can however save the data to a map and the next tick set the item's lore and delete the item. (Using some kind of indexing like the slot it's in, the container it's in, the Player's Inventory container it's in, date it has been saved, idk anything to index it.).

[jolly citrus]

no i don't need to add it to a container i just needed to make a function that creates item stacks with lore

its ok tho ill just make sure i only call it w privileges

[chilly fractal]

I said "index" it with any of these suggestions, if you need to set it's lore even if you don't have the required privileges currently.

[chilly fractal]

(Basically make a key to store the new lore value & add that lore later)

[jolly citrus]

yea but the point was i dont want to move to a new tick yet i still needed the lore properties to display for that item in my event so i cant really do that

thx for the suggestion tho

[chilly fractal]

You could just store it in a variable and do whatever you wanna do and then set lore on the next tick from that variable but idk if that works

[jolly citrus]

i know that but I don't want to store it in a separate variable

[chilly fractal]

Why exactly?

[jolly citrus]

looks ugly

[chilly fractal]

💀

[jolly citrus]

it's not that big of a deal anymore, later in my function I will have to add this stack to a player's container anyway so i'll just move some parts around

[chilly fractal]

Bruh

[chilly fractal]

I got a suggestion for you

Group the variables in one line

[jolly citrus]

no i don't need it anymore, the privilege stuff isn't a concern anymore

[chilly fractal]

For example:

const baller1 = "baller1";
const baller2 = "baller2";

Is now:

const baller1 = "baller1", baller2 = "baller2";

[jolly citrus]

ik

[chilly fractal]

Well then..... WHY not use it?

[jolly citrus]

because I don't need to

i've said that twice now sry

it's not of any concern to have tick privileges anymore, I moved some stuff around and everything is perfectly fine now

[chilly fractal]

Alright then ig...

[jolly citrus]

is it possible to open the crafting menu for a player

[warm mason]

no

[jolly citrus]

can it be done with server-net

[warm mason]

no

[jolly citrus]

what's the difference between world.getPlayers() & world.getAllPlayers()

[distant tulip]

none

[jolly citrus]

why do we have two then

except that getAllPlayers doesnt have entityqueryoptions

or playerquery idk what its called

[distant tulip]

no idea

[distant tulip]

the other don't?

[jolly citrus]

it does

wdym

getAllPlayers does not

[distant tulip]

i thought you said "except that getAllPlayers have entityqueryoptions"

[jolly citrus]

oh

[dim tusk]

Their functions no differ from each other... Both of them return an array of players

Unless I'm wrong

[distant tulip]

i use getEntities some times, sense entityqueryoptions in getPlayers don't support some stuff

[open urchin]

They might have added getAllPlayers first and then added getPlayers since it wouldn't make sense to have a filter on a function that should return all players

[dim tusk]

is there a way to accurately get the loot dropped by the block?

What I'm thinking of is before events of playerBreakBlock -> entitySpawn

The only unreliable part is when the item is tp with command blocks or another shit that changes location, it might not work

[jolly citrus]

what I've done is checked for entities around the center location of the block at a 1.5 block radius, for me it works well, but there's obviously edge cases in which it will fail to provide accurate results

like if somebody dropped an item close to it

[jolly citrus]

on afterEvent i think items don't spawn until a tick after the block has been broken

[dim tusk]

I know that but I already said the problem if we use it.

[dim tusk]

^

[jolly citrus]

if you listen to beforeEvent of the entitySpawn then I don't think the item could've been teleported yet

only on afterEvent

but i'm not sure

[dim tusk]

That's still the same case since we need to use the system run to call the entityspawn, so it does it on the next tick... In short it can't detect the original location or the dropped item

[jolly citrus]

you can, the location can be read for before you use system.run() i think

there is no beforeEvent of entityspawn

nvm

[dim tusk]

but you need to call the entityspawn with system run

[jolly citrus]

show an example idk what ur implying

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({ block, player }) => {
   system.run(() => {
      const spawn = world.afterEvents.entitySpawb.subscribe(({ entity }) => {
         if (entity.hasComponent('item')) {}
      });
   });
});```

[jolly citrus]

i never knew you could do this waow

[dim tusk]

Just ignore it okay?

It's just a snippet no big deal

[warm mason]

And by the way, a bad way, because the function inside entitySpawn will be duplicated every time a player breaks a block

[jolly citrus]

@dim tusk another way is, if you have the time for it, re-write the item dropping functionality of mc and disable vanilla tile drops

[dim tusk]

I know that... C'mon

[jolly citrus]

not the best practice probably though

[dim tusk]

you can just use loot spawn ~~~ mine ~~~ mainhand 🤷

[distant tulip]

that is a weird way of using events

[jolly citrus]

oh wtf

i never knew that was a thing

[wary edge]

Its new.

[dim tusk]

Want More weirder?

[jolly citrus]

but no it doesn't account for items in containers, for example

idk if disabling tile drops disables container stuff though

[dim tusk]

So simple to counter

But anyways back to the problem... Yes it will work but if the item is tp'd, not anymore

[distant tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-4095597578532971838

i definitely have some weird lines in my scripts too

the amount of time gone in re-coding some of my scripts ↗↗

i guess that what happen when you start learning a new api and using it in the same time

[dim tusk]

My weakness on scripts is the auto formatting of the software

They make my script long 😭

[distant tulip]

make your own
lol

[warm mason]

?

[dim tusk]

What I said is straightforward 😑

[warm mason]

What is "auto formatting of the software"?

[distant tulip]

just make it not auto format?

[dim tusk]

Hmmm...

[warm mason]

I don't understand what you're talking about :( what does auto-formatting do?

[dim tusk]

Thanks I'm boomer on vscode

[dim tusk]

Turn this```js
import { ActionFormData, ModalFormData } from '@minecraft/server-ui';

into```js
import {
   ActionFormData,
   ModalFormData
} from '@minecraft/server-ui';```

[distant tulip]

basically some code editors have a way to format code (organize it) so the code look the same, can be useful when working on a team
imagine work with coddy and he sent you his script

wait... you switched from notpad++? @dim tusk

[dim tusk]

probably 🤔🤷

[distant tulip]

lol, good for u

[dim tusk]

y'know what's funny? When handling json my hand will automatically select notepad++ but if scripts it's vscode now

[distant tulip]

me using windows notepad

[marsh berry]

Same 🤣🤣

[marsh berry]

I did too for a while when coding LISP for AutoCAD

[dim tusk]

Aww hell nah... Get out of here

[wary edge]

They make it readable is all.

[chilly fractal]

Formatters? More like deformatters for me.

Formatted code looks weird to me and deformatted single lined code is very easy for me to understand tbh..

[wary edge]

Preferences.

[dim tusk]

Formatter? I one line my code

[jolly citrus]

I have begun this new semi bad habit of separating different 'groups' of variables from each other with empty lines

actually before I judge whether it is bad or not I need somebody else's opinion

i do it a lot

and it maybe doubles my line count or so

example

[valid ice]

It's fine, honestly

Makes it more readable

[open urchin]

the capitalisation is what's confusing me

[jolly citrus]

capitalized Level and Name because

class Enchantment {
    constructor(Name, Level) {
      this.Name = Name;
      this.Level = Level;
    }
}

[weary umbra]

did you guys know that you can save ItemStack with dynamicproperty?

[jolly citrus]

Omg!!!!

amazing

[weary umbra]

thats how I made my trading system. I saved the itemstack from the items that have been selected

[dim tusk]

I think mostly everyone knows it

[weary umbra]

it was not a feature back then

thats why I was impressed

[spark topaz]

Does anyone have a guideline or known working example of using a ticking area for world.getDimension().getBlock(), I have it "working" but it is a little unreliable. Just want to see if anyone has a better implementation

[dim tusk]

It's been out since 1.20.50 iirc

But I get what you mean

[weary umbra]

noway thats so old I tried before 1.21 but didn't work

[dim tusk]

What version is available 6 months ago

[spark topaz]

That's how my permanence addon works as well

[dim tusk]

It's been out since 1.20.60

Later than that setting dp only works on entities and player

[spark topaz]

Also world if I understand what you're talking about

[dim tusk]

Ohh yeah I forgor

[distant tulip]

no you can't

[weary umbra]

but it did

[distant tulip]

how?

[dim tusk]

Don't worry he's just trolling...

[weary umbra]

thats not an ItemStack I mean everything every data of an item

[warm mason]

But what you'll get back is nothing at all.

[dim tusk]

That part is not possible...

[dim tusk]

I just realized it lmao

[distant tulip]

did you test that out? try getting the dp back

[distant tulip]

bruh

[dim tusk]

Ok sorry I just realized what you meant lmao

[weary umbra]

I made a trading system with that thats how I save the itmes

[warm mason]

Anything is better than your method, which doesn’t work. And ItemDataBase can save all the information

[distant tulip]

coddy turned into a bad trained ai model fr

[distant tulip]

it is not functional

[dim tusk]

In dp you can't save it's data's other than the name, amount, tags, name, lore and components

If you use an object yes it can be possible but using dp? No sorry

[patent tapir]

Speaking of ai is it possible to make an entity that can set its own components using ai

[dim tusk]

I cannot provide instructions guidance about illegal and harmful content. Can I assist you with another topic instead?

[patent tapir]

Just out of morbid curiosity

[distant tulip]

no

[patent tapir]

Well ok then

Nice and simple answer

I like that

[distant tulip]

lol, we can't dynamically change the entity components

[patent tapir]

Component groups exist though…

[distant tulip]

"dynamically"

[warm mason]

But the Mojang believe that they are not needed in scripts

[patent tapir]

So you could probably, theoretically, set each component to a single component group and hook it up to an AI API

[fiery solar]

The only thing you can do is send entity events. Your entity JSON needs to define the component groups already.

[patent tapir]

But that would be REALLY hard to do

[warm mason]

And it's unlikely to be optimized

[distant tulip]

maybe if you turned every component to its own component group

[patent tapir]

That’s literally what I just said

[dim tusk]

You have two options when saving items with their data... Either use an entity container or use an object but the drawback is when you reload the world the data saved in the object is also lost

-# and Yes I'm annoying asf

[jolly citrus]

i legit saw his trading system and it does work

with the way he has it set up rn

i’m unsure how i never knew you could use itemstack but it does seem to work for him

[distant tulip]

components do have parameters, some of them are not in the api yet
that really look impossible, unless you are limiting them

[patent tapir]

Anyway nice new pfp coddy

[weary umbra]

bruh Ik

[dim tusk]

That shouldn't happen

[jolly citrus]

oh wait nvm i realized he stringifies it

[dim tusk]

See? Ohh my god 😭

[patent tapir]

If you wanted to write hundreds of thousands of lines of code for every possible component parameter combination

:/

Also the addon would be MASSIVE at that point

[distant tulip]

try and see, i guess

[dim tusk]

Right? But it doesn't really describe me... If I have time I will do my own profile

[jolly citrus]

i thought stringifying an itemstack returns nonsense.. because it’s not in the traditional format of an ovject

[patent tapir]

^ and then hook up entity events to every single component group and make an AI script

Or a simple environment detector

[patent tapir]

Nah bro. I already can’t code js for sht I also don’t have the patience to do that

[chilly fractal]

Yes.

[dim tusk]

It doesn't return nonsense but the thing is when stringifying the ItemStack, it only returns things that are accessible in short excluding the container items, or items that have data like potion items, while names, lore, durability, enchantments, amount etc. accessible

[distant tulip]

well
in theory, it is possible

[patent tapir]

Well then, off-topic to what I was just talking about, is there a way to easily return a very large array in string form?

You will definitely think I’m stupid, but hear me out, when you print an array it returns the objects as “item1”,“item2”,“item3”, I would at least like to space the results apart and remove the string quotes (there might not actually be string quotes and I’m misremembering but you get the idea)

[dim tusk]

Yah..

[gusty bramble]

Is there a way to fill a container with an item if you specified the coords of that container? I was thinking about running the in game replaceitem command 27 times but that seemed stupid

[dim tusk]

get block -> get inventory component -> add item

[jolly citrus]

yeah I tried it before in like 1.19 tho and i swear it just returned an empty array for me

[distant tulip]

array.join(" ")

[patent tapir]

Wow it’s really that simple?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[patent tapir]

I’m insane then

Thanks

[dim tusk]

just use runtInterval 🤷

[distant tulip]

it is alr, we learn over time

[dim tusk]

Ohh, my god my head hurts rn... I'm like ai but 50% worse

[dim tusk]

I want to give an example but I'm lazy asf rn :)

Also it's normal... Can you give me the snippet of the code? I wanna read it

Pls don't do that 😭... You're calling it multiple times when you can put it in the variable

[gusty bramble]

That’s not possible for what I’m doing

[distant tulip]

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

function fillContainer (location, itemType, dimension){
    const block = dimension.getBlock(location);
    if (!block) return
    const container = block.getComponent("minecraft:inventory");
    const inventory = container.container;
    for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
        const item = new ItemStack(MinecraftItemTypes[itemType]);
        inventory.setItem(i, item);
    }
};

//for testing

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event)=>{
    if(event.id !== "test:fill") return
    fillContainer ({x:0,y:-60,z:0}, "minecraft:stick", event.sourceEntity.dimension)
})

[jolly citrus]

No as i said i did it many versions ago

In late 2022

never after that have I attempted to stringify an itemstack

[dim tusk]

You're not that dumb...

[distant tulip]

don't worry about it

[dim tusk]

How can I call you this..... I forgot it nvm then

[jolly citrus]

it’s just bad practice to call for the exact same thing multiple times

Doesn’t make a difference, the variable will be a reference to the container

[dim tusk]

Stringifying an ItemStack and attor in object and see the values using console.error will return empty array but if you use it on addItem or spawnItem things that accept ItemStack it spawns the item with 1:1 copy of the item

[jolly citrus]

It wastes performance to get it multiple times

yes but you can save the container in a variable

[dim tusk]

He's right, when calling multiple function just store it on variable it helps readability and performance

[jolly citrus]

const container = world.getDimension("overworld").getBlock({ x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }).getComponent("inventory").container;
for (const slots of container.size) {
    container.addItem(new ItemStack())
}```

this is what I meant

there’s probably a syntax error i made it inside of dc

but u get the idea

[distant tulip]

@patent tapir
you aren't even using slots variable there btw

[jolly citrus]

slots is a number

[dim tusk]

const block = world.getDimension().getBlock();
const inventory = block?.getComponent('inventory')?.container;

for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
   const item = inventory.getItem(i);
}```

[distant tulip]

-# ok

[jolly citrus]

yes

[dim tusk]

DONT BE FUCKIN MADDD AND DONT YELL

[distant tulip]

getItem?

[jolly citrus]

What does this mean

[dim tusk]

Forget that i just it 😑

[jolly citrus]

That’s my question

You’re probably getting the error because ur attempting to re-define the value of slots

[dim tusk]

Probably the block is air or the block isn't a container

[jolly citrus]

Oh

right

[dim tusk]

That's why I added the ?

[jolly citrus]

yes because you can’t loop by a number

[dim tusk]

Because it's wrong?

it's a number not an array...

[jolly citrus]

use for (let i = 0; i < x; i++) to loop x amount of times

[dim tusk]

for of gets list of objects inside of array and for loop generate number from value a to value b depends adding or subtracting or whatever

Just calm down... Three of us are just helping you as much as we can... No one is bullying you, we're just correcting you.. simple mistakes okay?

[distant tulip]

uhh

his messages gone

[dim tusk]

Yeah he deleted it

Nvm, he left I think?

Oh wow

You deleted it or the mods did?

[distant tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/alexward777-alexander-ward-alex-ward-eclipse-eclipse-rpg-gif-18850325

we are pointing out your mistakes so you learn from them, otherwise what is the point

[dim tusk]

I don't want to say it....but you're kinda overreacting sometimes

[distant tulip]

alr, have a great day

[jolly citrus]

You can also stop responding if you feel that you got the response that you needed

[dim tusk]

My day isn't great... I only slept 3 hours today and my cat died

[patent tapir]

i’m sorry that your cat died.

[dim tusk]

I mean it's not really rude but you're just trying to imply that you're done or everything is set or fixed already

[distant tulip]

sorry to hear about your cat, i hope you feel better soon
and get some sleep dude

[dim tusk]

Yeah.. I can't now, because I'm already in front of my computer

I will probably feel asleep while I'm working with my things lol

[distant tulip]

lol

i mean you didn't really do anything bad

[dim tusk]

Nah you good...

Everything's good, I mean it's not good my cat died but it's good that I'm still alive...

Yeah, as long as you didn't do anything controversial that might trigger people or communities? You're fine

[distant tulip]

🤨

[steady canopy]

when i place a custom block that has an item version the onBeforePlayerPlace custom comp event doesnt fire and the beforeEvents.playerPlayerBlock either???

is this normal

how can be fixed?

[wary edge]

Yeah.

Since its the item placing the block.

[steady canopy]

damn

but itemUseOn doesnt work either

which is weird

i need to modify the permutation to place depending on certain conditions

what event should i use in that case?

[wary edge]

It should.

After event or before?

[steady canopy]

before

[wary edge]

Try after.

If that doesnt work, then you judt cant use item blocks.

[steady canopy]

actually it works but theres still a problem and it's this event does give me the block where this custom block should be placed

so

it's worse than doing beforeOnPlayerPlace

damn

[steady canopy]

this is the only problem i see

[distant tulip]

code?

[wary edge]

You have to offset jt. I presume youre immediately replacing the block impacted.

[steady canopy]

use.cancel = true
        system.runInterval(() => block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve('c:beacon', { 'c:level': level })))

[steady canopy]

Yeah im doing that

im very bad with Vector related stuff tbh

how do i calculate where to offset this block?

[distant tulip]

what event you are using for the placing

[steady canopy]

itemUseon

before

[distant tulip]

let {face,block} = event
switch(face){
    case"Down" : block = block.below(); break;
    case"Up"   : block = block.above(); break;
    case"East" : block = block.west(); break;
    case"North": block = block.south(); break;
    case"South": block = block.north(); break;
    case"West" : block = block.east(); break;
}

[steady canopy]

thanks:))!

is face .blockFace right?

[distant tulip]

yeah
don't forget to check for air block

[steady canopy]

wdym?

[distant tulip]

you don't want it to replace blocks it is not supposed to replace

let say player interacted with this face

the block returned is the fence above

[steady canopy]

ohh yeah

i think im doing something wrong

[distant tulip]

hmm?

[steady canopy]

wait

[steady canopy]

https://streamable.com/otrq00

it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't

[distant tulip]

huh

maybe i sent the wrong order

can you try all the block sides?
also log the blockface to console @steady canopy

switch(face){
    case"Down" : block = block.below(); break;
    case"Up"   : block = block.above(); break;
    case"East" : block = block.east(); break;
    case"North": block = block.north(); break;
    case"South": block = block.south(); break;
    case"West" : block = block.west(); break;
}

this should work

idk why i was using them reversed

[steady canopy]

oh that was it! thank you again 🙂

[dim tusk]

Wadahell is tyring??

[sharp elbow]

Sounds like a cool Castlevania weapon name

[dim tusk]

shing shing clang clang

It's still funny to me that they misspelled a simple word

[bright dove]

how do you get a player armor using scripts

[chilly fractal]

player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Head');

player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Chest');

player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Legs');

player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Feet'); (nothing diddy related)

player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Offhand');

player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Mainhand');

[ruby haven]

Is there a way to prevent a player from joining a world?

[subtle cove]

BDS way is to edit allowlist.json
but without net module, no other way than kick

[bright dove]

how do you check typeid

[ruby haven]

I want to add to tag to the player that way I can check if it has the tag then I will prevent it from joining

[ruby haven]

What is the allowlist json?

[subtle cove]

A Bedrock Server file...

[wary edge]

It returns an item so just get the typeid normally.

[ruby haven]

Where can I access it is it a script file?

[subtle cove]

Nope

Using server-net mudule is complikated

[bright dove]

how ?

like this ?

function applyOnNetherite(player, vector) {
  const head = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Head')?.typeId;
  const chest = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Chest')?.typeId;
  const legs = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Legs')?.typeId;
  const feet = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Feet')?.typeId;

  const isNetheriteHead = head === 'minecraft:netherite_helmet';
  const isNetheriteChest = chest === 'minecraft:netherite_chestplate';
  const isNetheriteLegs = legs === 'minecraft:netherite_leggings';
  const isNetheriteFeet = feet === 'minecraft:netherite_boots';

  const allNetherite = isNetheriteHead && isNetheriteChest && isNetheriteLegs && isNetheriteFeet;```

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[bright dove]

so this is valid yeah ?

[bright dove]

you there to help me ?

[subtle cove]

cough cough

function hasNetheriteArmor(player) {
    const eq = player.getComponent("equippable");
    return !["Head", "Chest", "Legs", "Feet"].find(slot => !eq.getEquipment(slot)?.typeId.includes("netherite")) 
} ```

[bright dove]

Is this valid

Oh

[dim tusk]

i was gonna do it... lmao

[bright dove]

Thanks

[bright dove]

yeah but

[dim tusk]

anyways, quick question is there's a way to get the id of the owner of the projectile?

[bright dove]

function applyOnNetherite(player, vector) {
  const head = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Head')?.typeId;
  const chest = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Chest')?.typeId;
  const legs = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Legs')?.typeId;
  const feet = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Feet')?.typeId;

  const isNetheriteHead = head === 'minecraft:netherite_helmet';
  const isNetheriteChest = chest === 'minecraft:netherite_chestplate';
  const isNetheriteLegs = legs === 'minecraft:netherite_leggings';
  const isNetheriteFeet = feet === 'minecraft:netherite_boots';

  const allNetherite = isNetheriteHead && isNetheriteChest && isNetheriteLegs && isNetheriteFeet;

  // Calculate knockback power
  let knockbackPower = 1; 
  if (allNetherite) {
      knockbackPower *= 1.4; 
  } else {
      knockbackPower *= 1.1; 
  }

  // Apply knockback with adjusted power
  const adjustedVector = {
      x: vector.x * knockbackPower,
      y: vector.y * knockbackPower,
      z: vector.z * knockbackPower
  };

  applyImpulseAsKnockback(player, adjustedVector);
}

export class Velocity```

[subtle cove]

thats, long

[bright dove]

Yeah, for a reason

notice the "export class Velocity"

I am doing something something

[dim tusk]

...

[subtle cove]

entity.getComponent("projectile")?.owner?.id

Need more docs review huh

[bright dove]

so will you help me with it ?

[dim tusk]

that's what i did but it returns undefined for some reason

fuckin hell

im stupid

it works i just turned off my console log

OHHH MY GODDDD

[bright dove]

the gist is

there is no applyImpulse for player

[dim tusk]

applyKnockback

[bright dove]

i know, but unreliable

and netherite

[subtle cove]

function hasNetheriteArmor(player) {
    const eq = player.getComponent("equippable");
    return !["Head", "Chest", "Legs", "Feet"].find(slot => !eq.getEquipment(slot)?.typeId.includes("netherite")) 
}

function applyOnNetherite(player, vector) {
    const kbPow = hasNetheriteArmor(player) ? 1.4 : 1.1;
    setVelocity(player, vector, kbPow) 
}

function setVelocity(entity, vector, str = { x: 1, y: 1, z: 1 }) {
  const x = vector.x *= str.x ?? str;
  const y = vector.y *= str.y ?? str;
  const z = vector.z *= str.z ?? str;
  const horizontal = Math.sqrt(x * x + z * z) * 2.0;
  const vertical = y < 0.0 ? 0.5 * y : y;
  entity.applyKnockback(x, z, horizontal, vertical);
}

[dim tusk]

no choice then....

[subtle cove]

@bright dove there

-# coughs on fone code

[abstract cave]

How do i add an enchantment to an item using scripts

[bright dove]

already have it

 export function applyImpulseAsKnockback(entity, vector) {
  const { x, y, z } = vector;
  const horizontalStrength = Math.sqrt(x * x + z * z);
  const verticalStrength = y; // Vertical strength directly corresponds to the y-component

  // Normalize horizontal direction if there is any horizontal movement
  const directionX = horizontalStrength !== 0 ? x / horizontalStrength : 0;
  const directionZ = horizontalStrength !== 0 ? z / horizontalStrength : 0;

  entity.applyKnockback(
      directionX,
      directionZ,
      horizontalStrength,
      verticalStrength
  );
}```

[bright dove]

i was using this to convert applyKnockback to applyImpulse

[jolly citrus]

why do the enchantments not get sorted by color?

    /**

}

fixed it it was all because of a capitalization error

wow

[tiny tartan]

it is ok to reveal/show entity id in public? like there is an item when used it will teleport entity to player, so to remember which entity it is i am using entity id in lore

[valid ice]

Totally fine, players cannot get any valuable information from it.

You could hide it on lore using something like:
'§' + id.split('').join('§') and then parse it by removing all section symbols later on

[tiny tartan]

Thnx

[dim tusk]

Does item frames and painting triggers the playerPlaceBlock?

[chilly fractal]

https://tenor.com/view/try-it-and-see-give-it-a-try-try-try-and-see-try-it-yourself-gif-24095805

[alpine nebula]

I'm making some custom explosions. I need to summon an entity that later explodes with some power calculated in script. What is the easiest way to do it?

[dim tusk]

Lazy :)

Tbh, why would I ask here even if I could just do it? 🤷

[chilly fractal]

I mean I don't think they don't trigger as they are treated as entities

[dim tusk]

But anyways I don't need it anymore.

[chilly fractal]

But the item frame is treated as a block in bedrock I believe

[dim tusk]

Idk but I feel like I'm late to this but getting the ItemStack of before and after in itemUse don't make sense to me

I was trying to check if the item decreased it's amount

[chilly fractal]

Bruh lol

[dim tusk]

But when I do a log their amount is the fuckin same

[chilly fractal]

Yeah cuz it's still beforeEvent

It ain't happened yet

[chilly fractal]

Events

Entity events

Do some molang magic with whatever property the entity has and set that property in script api & trigger event

[dim tusk]

That shouldn't be... Yes it didn't happen but after it already happens, and the item is used... I'm using ender pearl for example so the amount of before should be higher than the after but it's not ..

I had no choice but to use equippable components and get the amount there :(

[chilly fractal]

Basically set up an event & property and set them from script api

[chilly fractal]

Well you never know where the error is, it may be in the api you're using, for example I was wondering why my server side code isn't working and I kept isolating parts of my code and until I realized the emailing api I'm using just does the error...

[slow walrus]

send the code

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
   console.error('Before:', itemStack.amount);
});

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
   console.error('After:', itemStack.amount);
});```

That's it

[chilly fractal]

Try this:

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
   console.error('Before:', itemStack.amount);
  system.run(() => console.error('After:', itemStack?.amount ?? 0));
});

[slow walrus]

that might actually be a bug. @spring axle you think so?

oh wait

actually

maybe not

[slow walrus]

try using a different use event like ReleaseUse

since its and enderpearl

though

hmm

that still doesn't make sense

[dim tusk]

Didn't work... Their output I still the same

[dim tusk]

Wait I'm trying that
-# didn't work obviously since ender pearl isn't a drawable projectile unlike bows or crossbows

[dim tusk]

Is it because of the version I'm using? I'm in 1.21.60.21

[distant tulip]

the item decreasing is probably delayed
use timeout to test how much it is delayed

[dim tusk]

Probably but still doesn't make sense since the getEquipment() can access it on the same tick but the built-in ItemStack function of it can't?

[dim tusk]

I'm trying this again but using timeout

[distant tulip]

well, the callback is getting the ItemStack before the decrease or something

[subtle cove]

aint no ContainerSlot, so thats why

thats just what ItemStack is

[dim tusk]

What.

[subtle cove]

-# next update there's gon be usedItem

[distant tulip]

hopefully

[dim tusk]

I'll be using an equippable component in the meantime

sigh

[sage hamlet]

Does the crafter not have an inventory component?

if so what does it have since I cannot find anything about that I want to fill a crafter using script

[warm mason]

I think that it is not yet possible to control crafters via the API

[sage hamlet]

alright thats unfortunate ty

[distant tulip]

it should work
it is a container and replaceitem dose work with it

[warm mason]

Hmm, I haven't played Minecraft for too long to know how the new things work.

[distant tulip]

let me test it with the api

inventory component don't work but replaceitem command dose @warm mason @sage hamlet

keep in mind it dose work even if the slot is disabled

[warm mason]

This is on par with "the equippable component exists for all entities"

[distant tulip]

crafter is a block

[meager cargo]

Hello, is it possible to make "moving" structure by scripts? Which will run on x line to left or right and also remove blocks behind?

[warm mason]

If you don’t particularly care about the information in the blocks (like inventory of chests or items in a frame), then this is quite easy

[wheat condor]

New input info is goated

[warm mason]

Can you make it move diagonally?

[meager cargo]

Can you help me with that then? I've tried with setting class "Mover" with all informations like start point, end point, name of structure, direction etc. And then run function with the const and then with structure load in the coords

[wheat condor]

no i made it to work only in n w s o becouse it wasnt easy to move it when you werent 90 degrees centered

[wheat condor]

yes

[warm mason]

Why? Simply get the vector of the direction in which the player is moving and move along z and x depending on the vector

[wheat condor]

mine follows your camera as you can see right and left are taken by the player's view

like if you press D to move left it moves on your left not in a costant axis of the world

[warm mason]

Yes, I took that into account.

I think I'll do it when I have nothing else to do

[steady canopy]

is there any way to get entities that are out of simulation distance?

for example i wanna check how many entities are in a chunk starting from y -59 to 320

but when i get like 40-50 blocks far it stops getting these entities

or maybe that isnt it. it could be because the entities are despawning after im far enough

does this have any way to fix?

[wheat condor]

When it’s out of ticking distance the entity isn’t even loaded, you can’t detect it,

You can do a ticking area (not recommended)

Or just when you re about to stop ticking the chunk you count the entities and save it as the chunk index

[jolly citrus]

I'm trying to make a custom event system, but the cancelling part doesn't work properly:

import { world, Player } from '@minecraft/server';
import { Frozen } from './addons';

export class CustomHitEvent {
    /**
     * 
     * @param {Player} hitPlayer 
     * @param {Player} damagingPlayer 
     * @param {Number} damage 
     * @param {ItemStack} itemStack
     */
    constructor(hitPlayer, damagingPlayer, damage, itemStack) {
        this.hitPlayer = hitPlayer;
        this.damagingPlayer = damagingPlayer;
        this.damage = damage;
        this.itemStack = itemStack;
    }
}
export class CustomHitEventSignal {
    constructor() {
        this.listeners = [];
    }

    /**
     * 
     * @param {Function} listener - The callback function to subscribe to the event
     */
    subscribe(listener) {
        this.listeners.push(listener);
    }

    /**
     * Emit the event to all subscribers
     * @param {CustomHitEvent} event - The event to emit
     * @returns {boolean} - Returns true if the event was not canceled
     */
    emit(event) {
        for (const listener of this.listeners) {
            listener(event);
            Frozen.Info("event.cancel:", event.cancel)
            if (event.cancel === true) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

export class CustomEvents {
    static CustomHitEvent = new CustomHitEventSignal();

    /**
     * Emit the custom hit event
     * @param {CustomHitEventSignal} signal - The signal to emit the event
     * @param {CustomHitEvent} event - The event to emit
     */
    static emit(signal, event) {
        return signal.emit(event);
    }
}

I can cancel the event like shown below, but not inside of a callback like I want to. how can i achieve that?

CustomEvents.CustomHitEvent.subscribe((event) => {

    event.cancel = true; // This works
    
    Object.entries(Enchantments).forEach(([key, value]) => {
        if (value.onEvent?.name === event.constructor.name) {
            if (!(event.itemStack && ItemUtils.getItemType(event.itemStack).length > 0)) return;

            const Enchant = EnchantmentUtils.getEnchantments(event.itemStack).find(enchantment => enchantment.name === key);
            if (Enchant) {
                value.Callback(event, Enchant);
            }
        }
    })
});

        /**
        * @param {CustomHitEvent} event
        * @param {Enchantment} enchantmentInfo
        */
        Callback: (event, enchantmentInfo) => {
            const { damagingPlayer, hitPlayer, damage, itemStack } = event;

            event.cancel = true; // Does not work

            if (itemStack) {
                const P = (0.06 / 3)*enchantmentInfo.level
                const duration = 60
                if (Math.random() < P) {
                    hitPlayer.addEffect("minecraft:slowness",duration,{ amplifier: 0, showParticles: true})
                }
            }
        }

[wary edge]

You gotta open a post for this dude.

[naive tinsel]

what is the difference between world.getAllPlayers and world.getPlayers?

[open urchin]

getPlayers supports an entity filter as an argument

[warm mason]

no difference || If used without parameters ||

[naive tinsel]

ok thx

[meager cargo]

Can someone help me with moving structure? In post are all details

[distant tulip]

not all of them
not location and distance iirc

[wary edge]

I'm so confused...does playerInteractWithEntity not trigger with an empty hand?

[rugged tinsel]

did you try the before event?

might be something weird with before/after

[wary edge]

Will try that.

[rugged tinsel]

it might be a case of the after event only firing if there's a valid interaction, like breeding or something

[wary edge]

An FYI, it will work with empty hand if the entity has:

                "minecraft:interact": {
                    "interactions": [
                        {
                            "on_interact": {}
                        }
                    ]
                },

[rugged tinsel]

so then yeah, it needs a valid interaction

[wary edge]

Testing beforeEvent now 👍

Can confirm Majestik, beforeEvent will fire regardless.

[rugged tinsel]

nice

when in doubt, beforeEvent

Why isn’t this working? It’s expecting a number but I don’t know how to turn command[2] into a number if it can be one.

if (command[0] === "pay") {
    const sendTo = world.getAllPlayers().find(nm => nm.name.toString().toLowerCase() === command[1].toString().toLowerCase())
    if (sendTo) {
        if (command[2](typeof Number)) {
            system.run(() => {
                world.scoreboard.getObjective("coins").addScore(sender.scoreboardIdentity, command[2])                                        
world.scoreboard.getObjective("coins").addScore(sendTo.scoreboardIdentity, command[2])
                                        sender.sendMessage(`§iSent ${command[2]} coins to ${sendTo.name}.`)
            })
        } else {
            system.run(() => {
                                        sender.sendMessage(`§cInvalid integer.`)
            })
        }
    } else {
        system.run(() => {
                                sender.sendMessage(`§cNo player found by the name of '${command[1]}'.`)
        })
    }
}```

const command = data.message.trim().substring(1).toLowerCase().split(" ")```

Idk why my code spaghettified itself when i sent it but ok

[distant tulip]

if(command[2](typeof Number))
this is wrong
it should be typeof command[2] === "number"

also command[2] is never a number, it is always a string
use isNaN to check

[patent tapir]

Thanks but if it’s always a string how do I do the scoreboard thing??

[distant tulip]

Number('1')

[patent tapir]

I also forgot I left the typeOf Number thing in there

[patent tapir]

Uh

OH

So I just do Number(command[2])

[distant tulip]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number

[distant tulip]

yeah

[patent tapir]

Ok :/

so js if (Number(command[2]) > 0) {}

But if it’s not a number it’ll throw an error

Oh

Wait

[jolly citrus]

check if it returns a valid number 1st I think

before comparing it with 0

[distant tulip]

also command[2] is never a number, it is always a string
use isNaN to check

[patent tapir]

I can just do ?.valueOf() > 0

Right?

if (Number(command[2])?.valueOf() > 0) {}```

[distant tulip]

**isNaN **

[patent tapir]

I have to use another if statement :(

Fine

I’ll do it

[jolly citrus]

You can do it in the same one i think

As long as you check if it’s not a number 1st

[patent tapir]

No, I’ve tried with other similar situations, it’ll throw an error

[jolly citrus]

If the 1st condition doesn’t pass it shouldn’t attempt the 2nd I think …

[patent tapir]

if(Number(command[0]).isNaN()) {
    if(Number(command[0]) > 0) {}
}```

Riiight?

I guess that gives me more opportunity to tell players what they did wrong with the command

[jolly citrus]

I just tried this with (if false && world.sendMessage("Hello")) & the message never gets sent though so I kind of presume it skips the rest of the conditions once it runs into a falsy one ?

[distant tulip]

use && dude

[jolly citrus]

But yeah for this case it might be better to have two for more proper error handling

[patent tapir]

It throws an error if i do that!!

[jolly citrus]

It does not as long as you cjeck if it’s NaN first

[distant tulip]

not always the case
if statement ignore the rest of condition if the first failed in &&

[patent tapir]

I’ve done it before with scoreboards

It doesn’t work

[jolly citrus]

or shouldn’t

[jolly citrus]

Try it first

[distant tulip]

how did you write it

[patent tapir]

Fine

[jolly citrus]

only the first??

i thought if any condition fails then the rest will not be checked for

[patent tapir]

Oh come on, idk! I deleted the code already because it doesn’t work! Do you expect me to just stash away any bad code I’ve written?? (I can’t remember things well at all.)

[jolly citrus]

mahbe I misunderstood what you meant

[distant tulip]

yeah
if(x && y)
no point in checking y if x is false

[thorn flicker]

rewrite it real quick?

[jolly citrus]

but i meant like

[patent tapir]

Fine, let me see if I can recreate from basically gone memory give me a minute

[distant tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/vimo-vimo-solo-vilmos-solo-vilmos-moai-vilmos-solo-moai-gif-16443911366989888993

[jolly citrus]

if (true && false && Entity.prototype.applyDamage(10)) for example, applyDamage will never run right

[thorn flicker]

doesnt need to be from memory, just try to implement && again.

[distant tulip]

yeah

[patent tapir]

if (world.scoreboard.getObjective(“strength”).getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) != undefined && world.scoreboard.getObjective(“strength”).getScore(player.scoreboardIdentity) > 0) {}

Certainly didn’t work the first time.

So I deleted it and never used it again.

[thorn flicker]

you said there was an error.

[patent tapir]

Yes, can’t read value of undefined.

Or something along those lines.

[thorn flicker]

that has nothing to do with &&

[jolly citrus]

then .getScore(”strength”) is undefined

i think

[patent tapir]

Nope.

[jolly citrus]

i don’t work with scoreboard

[patent tapir]

The score exists.

The player just doesn’t have a score for it.

Whoops, I meant to write .getObjective not .getScore

[distant tulip]

@jolly citrus

[patent tapir]

Fixed

[jolly citrus]

yes

nice to know this

i always assumed it worked this way but wasn’t sure

[thorn flicker]

okay.

[patent tapir]

Well it certainly doesn’t work that way for scoreboards, so i just assumed it didnt work that way for every other thing you can logic

Because WHY would logic work differently for different terms.

[distant tulip]

also the case for || if the first one is true

[jolly citrus]

is it possible to remove an effect specifically with infinite duration from a player? I want to create some custom enchantments that grant the player permanent effects, but do not want these to override their possible past potion effects

e.g. player first drinks speed 1 for 3 min, then equips boots with speed 2 enchantment and removes them, usign removeEffect("speed") they’d no longer have their 3 minutes of speed 1 yes?

[distant tulip]

store past effects and re-add them later

[autumn seal]

You could probably store their current effects before giving them the infinite one then apply it again after the infinite one is removed

[jolly citrus]

so much work 😔

[distant tulip]

nah

[jolly citrus]

I thoughr about that as I was writing the question but i was skeptical about how reliable it could be

But players can have multiple effects with different amplifiers at once yes?

[autumn seal]

Multiple of the same one?

[jolly citrus]

ya with different amplifiers

if you have speed 2 and get a burst of speed 3 your speed 2 will come back after speed 3 ends I’m pretty sure

[thorn flicker]

the amplifiers override eachother, no?

[distant tulip]

just store all infos amplifiers and duration

[autumn seal]

I was under the impression you could not have the same effect with different amplifiers

[thorn flicker]

you cant

[jolly citrus]

I thought of the opposite but am now doubting my memory

[distant tulip]

wait dose it override or is there some kinda of priority

[thorn flicker]

man idk

[jolly citrus]

Based on what i remember when i’ve last played, it always prioritizes based on the amplifier

[autumn seal]

If it does override you have to decide if you want to implement logic to tick down the stored effect while the infinite one is applied or if you want it to keep the same duration the player had prior to getting the infinite duration version

[thorn flicker]

maybe the minecraft wiki answers this question.

[jolly citrus]

i think the duration of all the effects also progress as you have a higher amplifier

if i have speed for 5 min then speed 3 for 1 min i would end up with speed for 4 min after speed 3 ends

i think

[distant tulip]

When applying an effect already active on the player, higher levels overwrite lower levels, and higher durations overwrite lower durations of the same level.

[jolly citrus]

yes

oh

wait

but will the lower effects come back after one with a higher amplifier ends or not thouguh

[autumn seal]

It appears not

[jolly citrus]

oh ..

[sharp elbow]

/effect @p speed 30 1 true
/effect @p speed 20 2 true
Player receives speed III for 20 seconds, after 20 seconds they have no speed

[patent tapir]

Why???

[thorn flicker]

wall of script

nice

jumpscare

[jolly citrus]

what is line 166

[patent tapir]

Oh wait I’m dumb

[jolly citrus]

vommand[2] isn’t a number

when ur setting the score

[patent tapir]

Yeah ignore that sorry

I forgot about the actual adding of the score

[jolly citrus]

all good

[distant tulip]

you do delete your messages a lot tho
that make the conversations pointless for future readers

[dense skiff]

Is there a script method to check how many tickingareas are active in a world?

Don't want to use loader entities cause I only want one chunk loaded

[thorn flicker]

no

there isn't even a method to create a ticking area yet with the api.
