Hey. Is there a way to script so you shoot up fireworks everywhere on a server? Say to not have as much lag that it shoots up based on where a player is?

chilly fractal

If you mean like summon fireworks

marsh berry
#

At new Years i want to shoot up loads of fireworks in my server. But summon the fireworks only gets you the rocket with the white particals. Not the explotion?

Oh.. well then uhh gimme a second

Do you know what he needs to fix?

for the poison I want him to attribute it to the affected player

the damage in void is if the score 53 is hit

for the nauseous I want him to attribute it to the affected player

for resistance it is the player who hits the other player who receives the effect

#

oh it's not, just weird indentation

coral ermine
#

can we set true/false condition to dynamic property? Like

.setDynamicProperty("test", true)

round bone
#

you can set strings, numbers, booleans (true/false) or even coordinates (Vector3 interface)

chilly fractal
#

Or undefined

#

Or null

#

Or just setting it like this:
.setDynamicProperty("bruh:bruh")

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but can anyone let me know the best way to set up a scripting environment?

wary edge
ocean escarp
#

Not typescript

wary edge
ocean escarp
#

And if I wanted to code fully in js?

#

My friend was streaming their work and had access to a bunch of autocomplete stuff

#

I think I might be missing some libraries

somber cedar
#

@ocean escarp

ocean escarp
#

Iā€™ve never used npm stuff

wheat condor

So run ```bash
pkg install nodejs

or whatever the equivalent of pkg is for your system.
ocean escarp
chilly fractal
#

No

#

Its to make your life easier

#

If you wanna make your life easier than yes

dim tusk
#

I want to make my life suffer

#

Can I not install it?

ocean escarp
#

All I want is autocompletion. Any random math and stuff Iā€™ll do manually

Time for file bloat YAY!

dim tusk

There goes having a clean workspace

Idk it just seems clunky

dim tusk
#

I mean I prefer bridge v1

chilly fractal
#

I hate it honestly, i never used it execpt for generating manifest files, now i use my own manifest generator.

ocean escarp
#

Iā€™ve never had to use the command prompt with coding before

wheat condor
#

command prompt?

dim tusk
#

I did use it before, but now I generate my own manifest in my own made manifest generator ( yes it supports scripts )

ocean escarp
#

isnt that where I use the npm installs?

#

Which I cannot find

wheat condor

#

Iā€™m never doing web dev

never

chilly fractal

Rahh, I need to do more maths to check if the shulkerbox is openable

chilly fractal
ocean escarp
#

Iā€™m 99% sure I have node.js

wheat condor
dim tusk
#

I mean I don't really need math in my cass but it's annoying

wheat condor
ocean escarp
#

usually I just write stuff in lua and ask people to translateā€¦

#

lua > js

#

Any day

wheat condor
#

is even lua

dim tusk
wheat condor
#

never used them but for assetto corsa scripts

ocean escarp
#

json sucks except for data storage

wheat condor

#

NodeJS > all

wheat condor

java is better

chilly fractal

#

npm version? Lol idk dont actually do that

ocean escarp
#

-# god Iā€™m useless

dim tusk
ocean escarp
#

I hate being taught. I should just know the info automatically

dim tusk
#

And if it sucked then say that to Mojang... Because they still use it to this day

chilly fractal
wheat condor
ocean escarp
#

10.2.4?

#

is that valid?

chilly fractal
#

Idk just do

pkg update nodejs

(Idk if its also a valid command lmao, btw it should update your nodejs version, not check it), for checking do:

npm -v
wheat condor
ocean escarp
#

Idk if that means itā€™s installed or if Iā€™ve called something else random entirely

wheat condor
#

what

ocean escarp
#

Donā€™t worry

#

Iā€™m useless

dim tusk
#

No you're NOT!

#

You just got feeded by new information

#

That you're Bain can't comprehend properly because if the speed of it

ocean escarp
#

My goal is to install as little NPMs as possible

ocean escarp
#

because json sucks ** COUGH COUGH**

#

I hate I can write out a perfect psuedo script for what I wanna do

#

but when it comes to actually making it I crumble

warm mason

huh

warm mason

#

Shucks

ocean escarp

Iā€™m also going to need a UI developer but Iā€™ll have to learn that myself too

distant tulip

it return a block... idk what are you trying to do

The health, armor and hunger bar are all going to be replaced

alr

warm mason
ocean escarp
#

I donā€™t think there is a way you can really. Iā€™m bad at retaining info and refuse to use regolith

distant tulip
#

not all of us use regolith

dim tusk
#

Why is the regolith in this conversation now...

distant tulip
#

idk he seem to link it to his problem
i am saying we don't use it so he can ask whatever

ocean escarp
#

Because my friend tried to teach me scripts and it was 1 of the first things that came up

distant tulip
#

it is an optional tool

#

in fact i never used it

wary edge
#

I love regolith!!!

warm mason

What the hell is regolith??

#

I'm on mobile so i have absolutely no idea wtf is most of the pc tools yall are using.

Too much to explain plainly...

I made this stupid script to check how many characters my phone can handle in the server form

And it can handle below 80k characters, but higher than that closes my world

Like to the point that you're touching the 50ms line each tick

chilly fractal
#

I do it like ~200 calls per 30 seconds

chilly fractal
slow walrus
#

it's faster cause all the iteration is done natively instead of in the JS runtime

#

anyway even if it is a micro-optimisation, it's nicer to look at, and why not take the optimisation if you can

your choice ig but that aint a great mindset

It was a week ago so yeah i might attempt to do that again...

What is the essence of your code, why are you teleporting a player

honest magnet
#

a fence vault thing

warm mason
#

Why was a teleport needed there at all?

honest magnet
#

wait a min

warm mason
#

?????

chilly fractal
#

So they need teleport to tp the player above the fence

honest magnet
#

tp player in to the fence and push player out by knockback

chilly fractal
#

But they still want the player to be able to run

honest magnet
#

yes

distant tulip
#

just edit the movement speed when not sprinting after that action

honest magnet

ok i will do that

I have a problem: script engine runs my code slow and the game interrupts.
I'm making custom explosions with 'ray' mechanic. If I switch dim.createExplosion(coords, pwr, { allowUnderwater: true }); to // rayBlock.setType('minecraft:bedrock');, it works quite fast.
Anything I can do to increase the speed of explosion spread (without decreasing their amount)?
Here is a piece of my code:

# 
const processedBlocks = [];
        const onRadiusBlocks = getOnRadiusBlocks(explosionLocation, explosionMaxRadius);
        for (const blockLocation of onRadiusBlocks) { // for each on radius block
            const block = dim.getBlock(blockLocation);
            if (!block.isValid()) { continue; }
            const rayArray = createRay(explosionLocation, blockLocation);

            for (const coords of rayArray) { // for each block in ray

                let index = processedBlocks.indexOf(coords);
                if (index > -1) {
                    continue; // do not create secondary explosion there again
                }
                processedBlocks.push(coords);

                const rayBlock = dim.getBlock(coords);
                if (!rayBlock.isValid()) { continue; }


                // skip if doesn't fit in range
                const dist = calculateIntDistance(rayBlock.center(), explosionLocation);
                if ((explosionMaxRadius * secondaryExplosionsStartCoefficient > dist) || (dist > explosionMaxRadius * secondaryExplosionsStopCoefficient)) {
                    continue;
                }

                if (passBlocks.indexOf(rayBlock.typeId) < 0) { // break 'ray' if there's an obstacle
                    break;
                }

                // create secondary explosion
                const pwr = calculateExplosionRadiusByDistance(dist, secondaryExplosionsMaxPower, explosionMaxRadius, 0);
                // rayBlock.setType('minecraft:bedrock');
                dim.createExplosion(coords, pwr, { allowUnderwater: true });
            }
        }

How would I go about creating a world border using blocks? I've got a border block with no collision already. Now I just need to figure out how to actually create the border itself without replacing blocks

chilly fractal
#

Best approach in my book:

system.runInterval(() => {
  system.runJob(function* () {
    let plrs = world.getPlayers();
    for (let i = 0; i < plrs.length; i++) {
      let player = plrs[i];
      isInBorder(player) ? saveLoc(player) : player.teleport(savedLocs.get(player.id) ?? {x: Math.min(player.location.x, world.getBorder(player).x-20), y: Math.min(player.location.y, world.getBorder(player).y-20), z: Math.min(player.location.z, world.getBorder(player).z-20)});
    }
  }());
}, 20);
#

There is more, wait

# 
function saveLoc(player) {
  savedLocs.set(player.id, player.location);
}

function isInBorder(player) {
  return Object.keys(world.getBorder(player)).every(k => Math.abs(player.location[k]) < world.getBorder(player)[k]);
}
#

Done? Nah.

# 
let savedLocs = new Map();
World.prototype.getBorder = function(player) {
  return generalDB.get('worldBorder') !== undefined ? generalDB.get('worldBorder')[player.dimension.id] : addon.worldBorder[player.dimension.id];
}
#

Now edit the world prototype function however you want, but make sure it returns a vector3 with the border values

#

Like it returns a good'ol:

{x: 0, y: 1, z: 2}

Use a tool to "diff" the two. Figure out the difference between them. Decide which one you want to keep and which behavior pack it came from. Then strategically move the differentiated code from the other file over to it.

Once completed, and done successfully, you will delete the other file. It's no longer needed and the behavior pack it came from will no longer require it.

Your newly merged file can go back into the behavior pack where that file originated from.

From this point the behavior pack now lacking the file will be dependent on the behavior pack with the file containing the merged code.

Install both in your world and profit.

|| Takes practice. You will probably mess it up a couple of times. Even Veterans who are familiar with doing this can slip up and make mistakes so don't assume you are incapable. Practice it. ||

Ohh yeah, getBlockFromRay() and getBlockFromViewDirection() kind have difference

#

in the getBlockFromViewDirection has limits when you look at the certain angle of the block it passes through the block you're looking at compared to the getBlockFromRay but y'know what's funny they almost have the same functionality we just specified the direction like wtf

#

I have not used them yet tbh

I keep seeing people say "add slash commands." However, slashes are just another form of a prefix before the actual command. We're able to create commands using various prefixes, so I don't quite understand what some of you mean when I come in here and read "add slash commands." Lol.

basically, i have the same custom component for several logs, and i need to get just that first part of the id, so like, split v360 and log, and only have araucaria, so i could later use it in my script as for example v360:decay_${logType}_leaves, and that {logType} is the, welp, log type

relying on chatSend also introduces performance problems

# slow walrus proper parameter definitions, closing chat, etc.

Already possible to include proper parameter definitions so long as you wrote your code with these things in mind, minus the ability to close chat, but I'm pretty confident they could extend to include that capability. The question is when and will they.

I think what you and others may be really implying here is not so much the ability to introduce "slash commands" since I believe that is not the proper term being sought out in this context, but instead "Command Auto Completion". That terminology makes a lot more sense here.

tight plume
# remote oyster **???** Please show code to demonstrate.

For example, showing a form, it requires a player to close the chat in-order to open the form meaning we have to loop everytime. Another way is to just create a expiration time or some sort but i don't really think it's that better of an option in terms of UX, we should have a way to send command and then quickly close the chat.

Also on auto-completions as said earlier. If i were to say it, i wouldn't consider sendChat as a viable option in terms of custom commands, it's just some clever way people made to create "custom commands". There should be another event that focuses on slash commands only.

remote oyster
#

That doesn't answer the question regarding poor performance. You mentioned looping to close chat but your statement is more generic than that so it's particularly not on subject with my statement, but the impact on performance while listening to close chat is minimal at best, unless the logic being implemented is trash (which I have seen some rather rough logic being used for it).

You still haven't provided any code to demonstrate general use case of chatSend being a problem with performance.

If you don't display the form for 300 players at the same time, there won't be any performance problems. (There will be problems only because of 300 players)

Logic? If-statement and a loop in a function, how further would you able to simplify that?

If sending out information is what we are doing here then what is your first premise even about? You engaged at something controversial and we tried proving you wrong by giving out simple concepts but you just said they might implement those capabilities later on. You quite literally prove the first's guy by showing what are the holes with sendChat.

Anyways read up to the top of the message, it still falls. We've said the problem on relying on it, you've quite literally proven my point on how ridiculous it is and not comparable to a fully supported slash command implementation

People aren't asking support to use the string /. They are asking for support for the sake of auto completion. Because when you use the native method built in the application for slash commands you get auto completion in return which makes for a convenient and logical experience to be had. Anyone saying they want support to use the string / in and of itself is either lying or arrogant and not being honest with themselves.

remote oyster

When you go back and read the conversations previously had in here about wanting support for slash commands, majority of the time it is not based on support for a specific string but primarily for support having auto completion because of the benefits and convenience it offers.

And I don't disagree with this statement either. I'm personally ok not having auto completion. My only point when bringing it up was the terminology being used by the majority when they wanted to express such support. Slash commands and auto completions are really different concepts when you look at it more in depth and that is all I was trying to point out before I got flanked lol.

#

I don't like the term custom "slash" commands since there is only one type of command that exists. The / is used to specify that something is a command where it might not be (ACs where it could be an event name, chat where it could be a message). Commands themselves do not include a slash. If it doesn't start with a slash, it's not being treated as a command, so there is no reason for it to have autocompletions.

I don't know really why they're skipping this feature that much tbh

I'm trying to make my own inventoryChange event with server-net but I don't have a way to find out which item stack changed

If only item stacks had a unique id crying

warm mason

Use this, store the previous rows of items in a variable and compare with the current row in a loop. For example ```js
if (stringifyItem(oldItem) != stringifyItem(item)) {
// The item has changed
}

turbid delta
#

in a loop šŸ’€

warm mason
turbid delta

Unfortunately not

warm mason

Well, that's all. You can check the inventory of one player every tick and there will be no lags

turbid delta
#

Do dynamic properties work on stackable items now?

warm mason
#

Why do you need dynamic properties? You will still need to check this in a loop

turbid delta
#

Could probably make items have their own unique ids but that would be a lot of memory for dynamic properties

distant tulip
#

dynamic properties are not stored in memory

#

unless the value is cached

turbid delta
#

storage i mean

#

or whatever they work with the behavior pack manifest uuid

warm mason
#

in unicode, 1 character is encoded in 2 bytes, let's say you use 32 characters. You will need quite a lot of such items so that the weight of dynamic properties exceeds the weight of at least one chunk

distant tulip

just cache the previous inv items and compare them

warm mason

but it is better than any alternative

Set each char with a Ā§ before it to hide it

They asked if they could have unique ids for the items. And i suggested the exact request they wanted. But, optimally, id use serty's approach if i am checking for invs and stuff, but in my case, i am literally making my own block pick up from java. So yes i need the items not to stack.

There's no 100% accurate way to detect drop and pick up even if you find a way there's definitely a limit or bug

if that's what you are guys talking about ( I'm out of topic )

You probably can with some obscure packet logging

dim tusk

or using other entity inventory as cache

Not that

thats big O^n operation

#

very slow

# chilly fractal So, WHAT IS STOPPING YOU? (Sorry for caps, but really, what is the problem?)

Lets say I do that. First of all im going have to iterate through the current inventory and the inventory cache, and compare if each items are the same. Thats a nested for loop and thus a big O^n operation. Slow as fuck. But lets ignore that. If I compare the item stacks with all the data, its going to return true most the time anyways because my items don't have much defining features from one another, the only thign that is different would be their typeIds and amounts. every other property is always going to be the same. So its going to be super slow and going to return true for items in the cache it shouldnt be.

dim tusk
turbid delta
#

Or I guess I could map out the item datas into an array and see if its included in there so its not O^n, but still my second problem is still an issue.

chilly fractal
#

If you got a better approach, please go ahead, tell me. I am willing to listen.

turbid delta
#

Its not really important for me I'm just trying to log what items someone is adding or removing into their inventory for the sake of it

chilly fractal
#

Then limit the checks.

warm mason
#

-# I would write the code for you, but I'm lazy, I went to eatšŸ˜‹

chilly fractal
#

If there are no enchants on an item, check if the cached has enchants, if yes, return early. (They are different)

dim tusk
chilly fractal
dim tusk
#

I mean, unknown is correct tho... If checking is slow asf for you then limit check only checks typeid amount and name tag...

Is it possible to run two things at once for example:
A block with two properties:

  • hitbox1
  • hitbox2
    And both are in different positions is it possible to use something that makes them both enabled at once?
    For example I was thinking switching between both on the same tick but idk if it will work prolly not idk

The concept is to switch between both fast enough to create an interactive illusion that it's one hitbox

I've used It for years in most game engines like Roblox and unity

chilly fractal

Just so we are on the same page, by hitbox, what exactly do you mean?
An area a player can hit?
An outline?
What exactly do you mean?

distant gulch
#

Collision

chilly fractal
#

Ah so you can do this.

#

So you are gonna need two of the same block with different collision values and then do this:

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

function switchCollision(loc) {
  let oldBlock = world.getDimension.getBlock(loc);
  oldBlock.setType("namespace:cool_block2");
  oldBlock.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve("namespace:cool_block2"));
}
switchCollision({x: 0, y: 0, z: 0});
#

So you can edit the function and all, its just an example

#

I'm just really tired so thats why i was typing slow, sorry.
