Script API General

[distant gulch]

Make a clickable item with a cool down that runs a command via script

[wary edge]

So whats your code?

[distant gulch]

I'll send an ss brb

[dim tusk]

the event you use doesn't matter, what you are doing inside of the event does

[round bone]

it's O(m*n)

it's not always O(n^2)

[chilly fractal]

for (let i = 0; i < inv.size; i++) {
  let item1 = inv.getItem(i), item2 = cachedInv[player.id][i];
}

That code snippet Be like:
"Am i a joke to you?"

[round bone]

just 1 loop xd

[chilly fractal]

Personally, i avoid commands and anything in the entity files as much as i possibly can, but effect @s clear i believe is much faster than looping in the whole effects & clearing them, other than that, i have not used one singular command in my whole blissSMP addon, while yes, scriptevent & playSound are commands, these were only for the hit cancelation & stuff

[chilly fractal]

Fr

[chilly fractal]

So ima tell you the native representation of your code

[round bone]

I'm looping, a bit cleaner in my opinion

using native existing methods instead runCommand

[chilly fractal]

Lemme get you all the native player methods rq...

[chilly fractal]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player.html

[round bone]

yeah I know about docs

[chilly fractal]

No no, I'm telling them, you're good.

[round bone]

atm the only things I have to do via commands is /kick

most of commands are already implemented or result can be achieved by another way

[chilly fractal]

Also just note, commands in script api can't have "/" if you still dont wanna use native methods for some reason.

[round bone]

yeah I know

[chilly fractal]

Dude, I'm sure you know. I'm telling the person.

[round bone]

oh yeah

my bad xD

[remote oyster]

Converting over to a Map versus an array would speed this up just a little since the lookup time is quicker and it would eliminate the nested loop in your include methods. But aside from that, this is probably about as good as you are gonna get my friend. Unless your use case changes. Then you might be able to adjust the pattern but that's neither here nor there at the moment.

That's never the answer to give.

"Forget optimizing your code. Just run it. It doesn't matter".

Lazy reply bro.

Even though the loops are written separately, the includes method checks every slot in the other inventory for each item. This makes it equivalent to a nested loop with O(n^2) complexity.

And yet you are wrong.

[bright dove]

Lol

[winter plaza]

still, it doesn't work

[chilly fractal]

What's the error?

[winter plaza]

wait 5 minute

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: cannot read property 'damage' of null    at projetil (wg/commands.js:51)
    at <anonymous> (main.js:60)

[chilly fractal]

And show me these lines

Show me line 51 only, actually.

Show me the line above it, and itself & the one below it.

[chilly fractal]

So it means

You are accessing damage of null

Teste is null unless the entity has that propery, according to your tenary operator

And logging the property damage of teste (which is null) will throw an error

Because that property does not exist.

[winter plaza]

but the entity has the property "wesl3y:jutsu" equal to "fire_ball"

[chilly fractal]

Try logging the teste variable. (Only, dont log damage or other things so it doesn't throw an error)

[winter plaza]

like this?

[chilly fractal]

..?

Use console.error(teste);

[chilly fractal]

Then its probably an issue with the Jutsus object.

It probably doesn't have the fire_ball property

[winter plaza]

I don't know what I did, but now it works, thanks.

[chilly fractal]

You're welcome.

[unique acorn]

since player.removeLevel() doesnt exist, any ideas?

[chilly fractal]

.addLevel(-7); //removes 7 levels

Same with scoreboard. Add negative score.

[unique acorn]

thanks

[chilly fractal]

You're welcome.

[verbal slate]

It writes this error and does not open UI what to do?

[chilly fractal]

Show me your manifest.json

[chilly fractal]

What version are you on?

[verbal slate]

1.21.51

[chilly fractal]

Huh

[warm mason]

This is okay

[chilly fractal]

Never seen that log in my whole life so ig you are right.

[warm mason]

You just enabled messages from the "information" level debugger

[chilly fractal]

Ah

[warm mason]

Show the code that should open the form

[verbal slate]

Right now

[warm mason]

Are you sure that the item id is correct?

[verbal slate]

Yes

[warm mason]

[verbal slate]

Aaa

Okay thanks for your help

[quick shoal]

how U change mt manager themes

Or is there anyway to customize code colour and autosuggest in Mt manager?

[quick shoal]

Alr thx

[verbal slate]

I don't know about that, sorry

[quick shoal]

Nvm

[verbal slate]

Glad to help

[quick shoal]

@verbal slate

[distant gulch]

I still haven't gotten an answer why isnt my item working 😭

[quick shoal]

I do not have a theme option

[verbal slate]

Do you have the original?

[quick shoal]

Send code to debug playground and debug it

[quick shoal]

Wdym

[distant gulch]

What debug playground

[quick shoal]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1082870580186988594

Here is how to use the bot

https://jaylydev.github.io/posts/jaylybot/

[distant gulch]

I can't the code is on my PC and I'm on my phone

[quick shoal]

Also I can just help U when I have time not atm

[quick shoal]

Uhm copy it with type first

[distant gulch]

It's a Chromebook

[verbal slate]

Download from here https://pan.mt2.cn/dl/MT2.17.1.apk This is the official website

[quick shoal]

Maybe I'm not updated my Mt manager yet

[verbal slate]

If you downloaded it not from the official site, then I advise you to delete it and download it from the official site

[quick shoal]

I downloaded it from Google play store

[verbal slate]

I downloaded it from the site, but it's not in my Google Play Store

[steady canopy]

** i know right ** but he was just overthinking that a lot. He was talking about notations and performance because he would have to run nested loops but that wasn't true, he would just have to run one loop and that's why i said that.

[steady canopy]

i didn't say anything where i can be wrong 🤷‍♂️

why u typing so much bro it's not that deep

[remote oyster]

You affirmed Nanopoison's response when he tried to correct Asteroid about the complexity in y'alls discussion.

I replied to them explaining that the complexity was in fact just that due to the usage of the includes method and then proceeded to correct you. Asteroid knew what they were talking about but you both tried to tell the person otherwise.

I spoke up because I saw the blind leading the blind and there is nothing productive in that.

[steady canopy]

wth bro do u even speak english?

[remote oyster]

Yea, do you read it or do you come in here flexing?

[steady canopy]

Bro i'm a software engineer with a degree how come i can be a "blind leading a blind". I'm not like 99% devs here that are just kids trying to learn javascript to create addons for their servers.

[steady canopy]

Your message was very bad structured.

That's why i said that

you look like a non-native speaker

[remote oyster]

Then you wouldn't have blindly called out Asteroid in the manner you did, then reaffirm Nanopoison's response because you would have known after looking at the code Asteroid shared that it was infact a complexity of O(n^2). More importantly, you would have understood why because of the includes method inside the for loop.

[steady canopy]

it's not a problem tho it was a good try

[remote oyster]

Don't act intellectual. Either you are or you aren't. If you make a mistake, then own it. Bro got their ego damaged and wants to fight about it.

[steady canopy]

imma be honest i didn't even read the code i just looked at the case

but

Asteroid isn't right

[remote oyster]

Then you had no business kicking off the conversation in the manner you did. That's just crazy.

[steady canopy]

I couldn't care less about kids yapping at me

but alr whatever u say

[remote oyster]

I care when chumps like you who come in here yapping like they know a thing or two, but really don't.

[steady canopy]

You don't have a software engineering degree

so

ig some1 should shut up

[remote oyster]

You have no idea what I do 😆

[steady canopy]

I guess it's obvious

You shouldn't be more than 19yo

you talk like a kiddo

[remote oyster]

Dream your dreams 👍

[steady canopy]

ok

[turbid delta]

I'm probably gonna just do a object of type id and amount and add and subtract from each other to see if there's more or less

Way simplier

[chilly fractal]

Someone's mad & got ego.

[chilly fractal]

Add and subtract? Bruh why not just compare amount instantly?

Less work on the device that runs the code

[turbid delta]

So I can find out how much changed so I can log it....

You are very picky about solutions 😭

[chilly fractal]

You want performant stuff bruh

I'm telling you the most performant methods fr

[keen laurel]

???

let equivalent = true
for (let i = 0; i < inventory.length; i++)
    if (inventory[i] != previousInventory[i])
        equivalent == false

that is just not O(n^2)?

what I'm saying is the solution he SHOULD have had is not O(n^2) sorry

[dim tusk]

Two adults fighting over English and a js? You just got corrected and you got mad? Damn

[remote oyster]

Ah, then must be a misunderstanding on my part. I was referencing the loop that used the includes method. 👍

[keen laurel]

To be fair I didn't explain it the best haha. I was just trying to explain to him that he didn't need two loops if he wanted to validate if they were equivalent inventories

[remote oyster]

No worries. I appreciate you clearing that up for me.

[steady canopy]

i guess you talking bout you

[steady canopy]

Haha

"Missunderstanding"

[remote oyster]

Did I stutter?

I already looked you up with your ID. I'm not impressed kid.

[steady canopy]

i already looked you up with your ID? 😭

wtf is bro talking about

[remote oyster]

I suppose you aren't as bright as you claim.

[steady canopy]

Think whatever u wanna think

i didnt study years to get a software engineering degree for a kid to tell me im not what i claim to be

[remote oyster]

I believe this should be continued in #off-topic . Otherwise I'm moving on.

[steady canopy]

i dont care about this conversation so im just leaving

[keen laurel]

It was easily misunderstandable, we got it cleared up. Not that big of a deal bro, you were trying to defend what I said but you just got an ego trip for some reason lol.

What visual impact said was inherently correct because my wording was bad and made it sound like I was just correcting him on his big o notation

[steady canopy]

k

You must be dumb to missunderstand that but alr

wtv u say

[turbid delta]

Guys guys guys

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/832893472356302868/1268347403455561850/togif.gif

[remote oyster]

I'm gonna need you to chill out. Your ego and attitude needs some adjustments.

[steady canopy]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

who the hell does this guy think he is

oh no im so afraid of a random!

let's chill out

[warm mason]

🍿 👀

[remote oyster]

Exercise that statement please. Less talk, more action.

[steady canopy]

Hell nah

i was already out of this conversation tho

why u bringing it back

[turbid delta]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1300600573434789960/1305142650482983004/attachment.gif

[steady canopy]

someone staying mad

[remote oyster]

The only one upset is the one raging with the comments. I'm at work, and chill right now. Where is your mindset?

I do wish Discord offered a better method for blocking people versus "hiding" their comments.

[round bone]

no brackets is a war crime tbh xd

I mean, they're not required in this case but I feel so weird when I don't see them

[keen laurel]

wrote it on my phone lmao I had to do spaces and everything

[round bone]

coding on phone is such a pain

[keen laurel]

yea I don't understand how people unironically do it

[steady canopy]

stay mad

[keen laurel]

I did it bcz I was too lazy to do it on a computer

[turbid delta]

I love using no brackets when not needed

Using brackets on one liners is my pet peeve personaly

[round bone]

I mean, yeah, but it feels pretty weird if you have this nested like that

[remote oyster]

You're like a leech. 😂

[keen laurel]

same, but tbh I probably needed more than just equivalent for it to work lmao

[round bone]

xD

[round bone]

it's so longer to type on phone

also harder to use types inside enviroment

[dim tusk]

Eww.

[steady canopy]

k

[round bone]

• running it all is much slower

[keen laurel]

nah no brackets is great dont hate

as long as u don't move it all on one line lmao

[remote oyster]

I've been using brackets for so many years that I actually find it unnatural when doing it with JS. I have exercised with it some, to try and loosen up. Still looks weird to me.

Personal preference on how people cope lol.

[distant tulip]

if(x) {return}
this feel like a crime

[keen laurel]

all I'm saying is if I had to start every function with

if (!a) {
    return;
}
if (!b) {
    return;
}

I would probably be less happy of an individual

obviously a simple case here where I could've done an && but still

[dim tusk]

You can... Just one line it.

that looks cursed as hell

[keen laurel]

that's what I'm saying

if (!a) return;

is just so much superior in my eyes lmao

[thorn flicker]

would be probably easier to read

[distant tulip]

when you have a lot of those in your code it start to get annoying scrolling up and down

i am confused where this discussion started lol

[thorn flicker]

.

[dim tusk]

i kinda hate a code where if the things inside the bracket are alone or no other things... They'd still put it in a bracket like this.

Tho it still depends on situation

[thorn flicker]

I code like that though

[distant tulip]

yeah
it looks weird in that case

[keen laurel]

it's only ok for objects imo

[dim tusk]

-# you should instead put it as else if

[keen laurel]

wtf

idk why that's even more cursed to me 😭

[thorn flicker]

what is

else if?

[keen laurel]

yeah for returns

[thorn flicker]

how is that cursed

[dim tusk]

no not I'm talking about the return only... When you're separating the two just use else if

[keen laurel]

not in general, but the

if (!a) {
  return;
} else if (!b) {
  return;
}

that feels even worse some how

[thorn flicker]

if (!a) {
  return;
} 
else if (!b) {
  return;
}

[keen laurel]

omg

[thorn flicker]

thats how I write it

lmao

[keen laurel]

nah this not sitting right with my ocd or whatever i have

[warm mason]

if (!a || !b) return;
```![bao_foxxo_smug](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/933257119443071027.webp?size=128 "bao_foxxo_smug")

[thorn flicker]

thats only valid if they want the same thing to happen for a and b.

[keen laurel]

yeah the example was simplified, but some cases u can't do that

[dim tusk]

I kinda like this but (1) it consumes space (2) the readability is 📉

[thorn flicker]

better readability for me.

so idc

[keen laurel]

I mean in certain return statements if I need more than just return I will obviously use brackets slol

like if I need to send a warning or smth

[distant tulip]

a || (b || (() => {})());

[keen laurel]

server.system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {
    if (event.sourceEntity.typeId !== "minecraft:player") return;
    if (event.id !== "test:test") return;

    // conditions met
});

but for events like this, imo this is just too nice to pass up (random example lol)

[thorn flicker]

if (whatever) {
return {    } 
}

lol

[thorn flicker]

what the hell

[wary edge]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-kill-fuego-matar-incendiar-gif-5307315

[autumn seal]

10/10 readability

[dim tusk]

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {
    if (event.sourceEntity.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
        if (event.id === "test:test") {
             // code
        }
    }
});

I prefer doing this.

[distant tulip]

lol
it is valid

[thorn flicker]

same

[keen laurel]

you guys like nested code like that

sad :(

[thorn flicker]

preference

[keen laurel]

server.system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {
    (!a) ? () => { return; } : (!b) ? () => { return; } : () => {
        // run function
    }
});

[thorn flicker]

lmfao

[distant tulip]

damn

[keen laurel]

imagine LMAO

[dim tusk]

I do nested code since I'm doing other things other than that, I do return if I'm doing one thing or simple things

[dim tusk]

That looks shit asf

[thorn flicker]

its amazing wdym

[autumn seal]

Who needs encryption when your code looks like that

[dim tusk]

I will put you on fire instead.

[keen laurel]

true, i should from now on only write conditionals like this

[thorn flicker]

lol, new challenge

only write in ternary

[dim tusk]

you see that programming language that you write with whitespace only?

[thorn flicker]

no

[autumn seal]

Personally I name all my variables after mozart compositions

[tidal wasp]

Can setType be used to place/replace blocks

[unique dragon]

anyone know if it's possible to add infinite time to effects with addEffect method?

[autumn seal]

Do you mean with sound/particle?

[thorn flicker]

yes?

[wary edge]

No.

[keen laurel]

wait new encryption idea just dropped wtf... using mozart compositions as your encryption key

[unique dragon]

something to add to the wishlist so

lol

[thorn flicker]

thats the point of the method.

[dim tusk]

or, you can just use /effect

[autumn seal]

Still more readable than using chat gpt

[unique dragon]

ye, but i hate use commands

[keen laurel]

that is fair

[dim tusk]

A simple single line... That's it

[unique dragon]

ik

[thorn flicker]

same.

[keen laurel]

yeah but no intellisense :(

[thorn flicker]

if (a) { if (b) { } }

just a simple line

[keen laurel]

still forgot a } lol

[unique dragon]

I just realized that is not possible to hide particles if you use infinite time

[thorn flicker]

this is how much it hurts my eyes

cant even type it correctly

[thorn flicker]

huh

are you sure

that sounds dumb

[dim tusk]

Huh? You must be tripping

it works perfectly fine with me.

[unique dragon]

oh yeah omg, i forgot the amplifier

lmao

[thorn flicker]

hahaha

[keen laurel]

if (1) if (2) if (3) if (4) if (5) if (6) if (7) if (8) if (9) return 5; else return 2; else return 7; else return 1; else return 8; else return 4; else return 9; else return 6; else return 3;

least confusing statement

[thorn flicker]

no

NO

[dim tusk]

Just use for loop

Why bother

[unique dragon]

lol

[keen laurel]

the returns are not one-to-one

so you have to!

[unique dragon]

☠️

[dim tusk]

🤷

[keen laurel]

obviously if 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 but not 9 you return 2, not 8

[thorn flicker]

forEach or for loop

[dim tusk]

const conditions = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
const returns = [3, 6, 9, 4, 8, 1, 7, 2, 5];

return conditions.findIndex(c => !c) === -1 ? returns[conditions.length - 1] : returns[conditions.findIndex(c => !c)];

[keen laurel]

yeah but that's not one line

[thorn flicker]

const conditions = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
const returns = [3, 6, 9, 4, 8, 1, 7, 2, 5];

for (let i = 0; i < conditions.length; i++) { if (!conditions[i]) { return returns[i]; }} return returns[conditions.length - 1];

[dim tusk]

^ I'm talking about this.

[thorn flicker]

close enough

[dim tusk]

I'm not talking about one lining it

[dim tusk]

return conditions.findIndex(c => !c) === -1 ? returns[conditions.length - 1] : returns[conditions.findIndex(c => !c)];

My learnings about for loop, indexes, for of pays off... rahhh

[remote oyster]

Interesting read lol

[thorn flicker]

perfect

[keen laurel]

normal programming behaviour rn.

[remote oyster]

Everyone is enjoying their culture I see lol.

Still getting used to not using brackets. I might be old fashioned when it comes to that. 😅

[dim tusk]

Wait... even simpler?

return [3, 6, 9, 4, 8, 1, 7, 2, 5][[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9].findIndex(c => !c) || 9 - 1];

-# If I'm gonna be honest with you, I literally need to search for stack overflow lmao

[round bone]

and this all is equal to a || b

[round bone]

I would consider using sets atp

a bit faster

hold up wait

[dim tusk]

From this if statement to mine

[keen laurel]

mine runs faster

[dim tusk]

Nah

[round bone]

did you just used a list instead num - 1

[sharp elbow]

It's not particularly configurable, but I would expect this to run faster

[round bone]

you got me such a nice headache xD

[keen laurel]

not configurable at all in fact

[dim tusk]

Yessir

[distant tulip]

(() => {})() is a IIFE (immediately invoked function expression) that does nothing

[round bone]

ik

it returns void

falsy value

[distant tulip]

yeah

[keen laurel]

it would also always do the same thing

[dim tusk]

I waste my time searching stack overflow when I have a deadline for my thesis

[round bone]

do you all have some sort of competition to confuse some people like me while making fun of javascript?

[keen laurel]

I was just making cursed code idk

[distant tulip]

same

[sharp elbow]

Are the numbers here literal? Or just placeholders for other conditions

[wheat condor]

syntax error expreting ; at line 29412789

[keen laurel]

atp it was just literal lmao

[round bone]

literal

[dim tusk]

just literal lmao that's why I used findIndex instead because we don't have a condition just nunber

[sharp elbow]

... So this is equivalent:

function findValue(i) {
  return 5;
}

[round bone]

the art of javascript is to type in terminal npm install -g typescript and npx tsc init

[distant tulip]

findIndex 🤢

[keen laurel]

the true answer

we got there eventually

[dim tusk]

Nvm the thesis deadline is tomorrow, so I'll do it tomorrow

Due tomorrow, do tomorrow

[distant tulip]

deadline is in 2h so i will do it the next hour

[sharp elbow]

At least do some of it now, like 1/3 of it, you will thank yourself later

[dim tusk]

I will literally do it today, I can't Speedrun it tomorrow oof

[round bone]

weren't you an admin here some time ago?

oh yeah you have role xD

[thorn flicker]

they owned this server once

[round bone]

yeah I remember

I just wasn't sure it was him

[iron coral]

Does anyone know if there is a molang function to prevent the animated object from touching the floor?

[thorn flicker]

not script api related

[warm mason]

#1067869022273667152

[iron coral]

i know

[thorn flicker]

why are you asking here then

[warm mason]

And why are you writing this here?

[iron coral]

But there is no one active on the molang channel

😦

[warm mason]

...........

[thorn flicker]

ive heard this type of reasoning before

in this channel

lol

be patient.

[warm mason]

#1067869022273667152

[iron coral]

But I have nothing to do if the molang channel is dead

[thorn flicker]

why are you sending the entities channel tho

[warm mason]

Then figure it out for yourself, we have scripts here

[thorn flicker]

there's a molang channel

[warm mason]

Animations are only available in entities

[thorn flicker]

yes, but his question is molang related.

[dim tusk]

I kinda forget that molang channel existed

[thorn flicker]

me too.

[iron coral]

It's a molang problem 😦

[warm mason]

+++

[thorn flicker]

I was talking to serty

anyway

[dim tusk]

Ask in #1067869318383157430 (but you said it's dead) or in #1067869590400544869 instead

[warm mason]

#add-ons

[thorn flicker]

@dim tusk @warm mason

a little problem.

[warm mason]

I'm just saying what the options are

[dull shell]

is there anyway to compress these ?

like this

the money

[dim tusk]

That's not how you add the version for the server and server ui.

for server it's kinda like 1.13.0 to 1.17.0-beta
for server ui it's 1.3.0 or 1.4.0-beta

[dim tusk]

Wdym by compress it?

[dull shell]

like how its displayed on my sidebar

for example

Frost Bite
$1.3K
INSTEAD OF
Frost Bite
$1300

[dim tusk]

is the 1300 a scoreboard value or something

[dull shell]

yes

[dim tusk]

You can divide the amount by 1000

function formatCurrency(amount) {
   return `${(amount / 1000).toFixed(1)}K`;
}```

[dull shell]

im using that score tho to find if the player has the correct amount

[keen laurel]

Then you can't shorten it? You'll be losing data (specifically the last 2 digits) if you compress it

You need to use some other method of storing their currency

to achieve that effect

[dull shell]

okay thank you for that!

when a player hits a entity how can I run a command on the entity hit if that players has a score

[dim tusk]

I don't think so unless what he did is just to display it as that the value of it is still the same, the display just is formatted

[keen laurel]

it's formatted but if he's reading the scoreboard to get their currency, it will be read as 1.3K instead of 13XX, meaning the last 2 digits are lost

[ocean escarp]

Maybe I'm tripping here but could you not just have both an actual value and a display value? 1 formatted and the other isn't

[dim tusk]

it's just display....

did you read my message?

the display doesn't interfere with the original value he still can get the original value

[keen laurel]

oh wait theres two values to a scoreboard?

my bad lol i guess i missed something

[dim tusk]

no... For example I have a value 1500 and we format it with the function I gave, that doesn't interfere with the original value so it means the value is still the same

[dim tusk]

const obj = world.scoreboard.getObjective('test');
const score = obj.getScore(player); //Assume the score is 1300;

console.error((score / 100).toFixed(1)); //1.3
console.error(score); 1300```

[keen laurel]

Oh wait I missed the original context, I thought he was asking about making the scoreboard value 1.3k instead of 1300

Not showing it on UI

[steady canopy]

export const metricNumbers = (value: number): number | string => {
    const types = ["", "k", "M", "B", "T", "P", "E", "Z", "Y"], selectType = Math.log10(value) / 3 | 0;
    if(selectType == 0) return value;
    let scaled = value / Math.pow(10, selectType * 3);
    return scaled.toFixed(1) + types[selectType];
}

[keen laurel]

uhhh

Petadollars lmao

[dim tusk]

That's why I'm confused as hell why'd you say the last 2 values are lost.... 🤦

[keen laurel]

Yeah I read context above it but the real important one was behind a massive wall of code and didn't realize it lmfao

[steady canopy]

those are quadrillions

[keen laurel]

yeah but u have it listed as P in types

[steady canopy]

Yeah peta can be also used

[dull shell]

so just throw this in and my scores that are displayed will be compressed?

[keen laurel]

interesting I have never seen nor heard of P instead of Q

[steady canopy]

Yeah

just do metricNumbers(number)

metricNumbers(2000000) -> 2.0M

[dim tusk]

How do you display it on the screen?

[dull shell]

 .button("§sSharpness\n§c$" + world.scoreboard.getObjective('SharpnessPrice').getScore(player), "textures/shopUI/sharpness")```

[dull shell]

okay 1sec

im still geting some errors

[dim tusk]

function metricNumbers(value) {
    const types = ["", "k", "M", "B", "T", "P", "E", "Z", "Y"];
    const exponent = Math.floor(Math.log10(value));
    const selectType = Math.min(Math.floor(exponent / 3), types.length - 1);
    
    return value < 1000 ? value.toString() : `${(value / Math.pow(10, selectType * 3)).toFixed(1)}${types[selectType]}`;
}```

That is typescript here's the javascript

[dull shell]

okay so i added it into my code with 0 errors

but its not displaying the scores compressed

do I have to change something in there to myt scoreboard?

[dim tusk]

 .button("§sSharpness\n§c$" + metricNumbers(world.scoreboard.getObjective('SharpnessPrice').getScore(player)), "textures/shopUI/sharpness")```

Like this.

[dull shell]

okay thank you! its working now but some of my other js isnt working

my sidebar stopped popping up

[dim tusk]

No errors?

[dull shell]

nope

[chilly fractal]

[celest abyss]

How do I make a command run until the player no longer has a tag?

That means that if a player gets a tag, a command is being executed repeatedly until he no longer has it.

[keen laurel]

Here are two simple ways that I would do it (I would probably would use the first)

1. Use a map and store players who have the tag (you can store it when u add the tag), run command on all players in the map every tick, and check them if the tag has been removed (or remove them from the map when u delete the tag).

2. Every tick check every player for if they have the tag or not, then run the command on them

[keen laurel]

^

[celest abyss]

I wanted to do it with scripts

[keen laurel]

Yes you would do that with a script

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
   for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
      if (player.hasTag('test')) {
         player.runCommand();
      }
   }
});```

Is this what you mean or nah?

[sharp elbow]

If this is the case, just use tick.json and a Minecraft function.
BP/functions/loop.mcfunction

execute if entity @a[tag=test] run <command>

BP/functions/tick.json

{
  "values": [
    "loop"
  ]
}

[slim spear]

execute as @a[tag=test] at @s run say hi

[celest abyss]

the command is only executed once.

[sharp elbow]

Not sure I understand. Do you need the command to execute once, if the player has the tag?

So it will not repeatedly execute if a player has that tag?

[true isle]

has anyone tried to recreate a chorus flower ?

or the plant itself

[true isle]

it can be set to just execute it once per check or executed in a loop if it has the tag .

loop meaning untill the tag is gone

or something else overrides that

[slim spear]

tag @a[tag=!test] remove command
execute as @a[tag=test,tag=!command] at @s run say hi
tag @a[tag=test] add command

[celest abyss]

I got it

Now I need to detect if the item is still there and if it is no longer there, the tag should be added again.

[nimble schooner]

How do some people display blocks or items above the crate after it has been opened?

[autumn seal]

I would guess using entities or using a fox with a item in its mouth to get something akin to block displays that java has

[dim tusk]

or just create a custom entity?

[autumn seal]

That's what I was referring to when saying using entities but I quickly looked through the discord and saw someone mention using a method with a fox

But yes I would just use a custom entity over anything like that you are right

[dim tusk]

I mean it also depends

If this is pure commands either use fox or armor stand

But if it's an addon just create custom entities..m why bother

[dim tusk]

I checked the videos on the post and it's kinda scuffed imo

[autumn seal]

I definitely can't disagree

[uncut mason]

There is, in fact, a way to programmatically set an item frame's contents, or fake it at least, but it's super jank.

You can pre-generate an mcstructure file for every item in the game (1 file for each permutation of item, item rotation, frame facing direction), and pair it with StructureManager to place.

The disk usage and subsequent add-on load time... oof! Like I said, super jank.

Needless to say, this really shouldn't be done, but if you're going to do it anyway, keep it server side.

Ask me how I know!

[dim tusk]

I feel like it's kinda resource intensive

[uncut mason]

It's also evil.

How to make a double hit anti ?

[quick shoal]

Set a timeout when the player hits ,then detect if the player hits again within the timeout

Like give player a state

And set a timeout that remove state

If a player is hit with state then represents that player already hitted

Make some functions when detected second hit and also remove the state

[cinder shadow]

has anyone managed to get interacts to work on flowing water?

[keen laurel]

I haven't tried but I might have an idea. Might be possible to use itemUse, get the player's view direction, then getBlock from ray and include passables? If that's what you meant anyways

Not sure if I misunderstood though

[cinder shadow]

guess the answers no, that doesn't work lol

[dim tusk]

Why itemUse when itemUseOn exist

[keen laurel]

Because he said it didn't work lol

[dim tusk]

where? I don't see it. All I see is this.

[keen laurel]

Or I guess he implied it didn't work

[dim tusk]

Nvm

[cinder shadow]

itemUseOn will only let you get "minecraft:water"

[dim tusk]

flowing water? Nope not possible

[cinder shadow]

blockFromRay for whatever reason does not get flowing water

[dim tusk]

Yeah, I was about to say that...

[keen laurel]

really was hoping block from ray would work lmao

[dim tusk]

there's liquid option right?

Yeah there is... includeLiquidBlocks

[wary edge]

Does liquid clipped not work?

[keen laurel]

yeah I just said passable I forgot which one it was lmao

[dim tusk]

Cat 😺

-# random

[keen laurel]

My guess if includeLiquid doesn't work is that it might just be a collision box that doesn't work with rays

[cinder shadow]

I remember testing that one, the issue is that there's no way to communicate that to the script

even if it were to detect flowing water

[loud brook]

Hi guys, How do I declare the block type in the function getBlocks?
(I believe I did it wrong in the following code since it returns unidentified.)
I checked the website to look for an example but couldn't find

const volume = new BlockVolume({x: block.location.x + 2, y: block.location.y + 1, z: block.location.z + 2},{x: block.location.x - 2, y: block.location.y - 1, z: block.location.z - 2});
            const btarget = block.dimension.getBlocks(volume, { BlockPermutation: { type: "brs:batimcycle_generatorswitch" } })

[rough vine]

Try this

const volume = new BlockVolume(
    { x: block.location.x + 2, y: block.location.y + 1, z: block.location.z + 2 },
    { x: block.location.x - 2, y: block.location.y - 1, z: block.location.z - 2 }
);

const blockPermutation = new BlockPermutation("brs:batimcycle_generatorswitch");

const btarget = block.dimension.getBlocks(volume, blockPermutation);

[loud brook]

how to make this with scripting?

[warm mason]

Same thing as asking “how to create the same addon as X mod”. This is a fairly large project, so there is no answer to your question. And it’s unlikely that anyone will write the code for you, if only because it will take weeks, or even months.

[onyx lantern]

guys, how much lag does ticking cause? is it very bad?

how about systemRunInterval is it any better?

[remote oyster]

That is primarily dependent on the code being executed within the loop.

[onyx lantern]

I've a title bar that calcs the TPS to see if it's causing lag but it doesn't really matter what I do it always stays at a value between 19-21, is it really that hard to cause server lag on bedrock? because I see people talking about lag caused by ticking but when I try to replicate placing or generating a lot of blocks that tick, the TPS value doesn't go UP

[onyx lantern]

could you elaborate, please?

[remote oyster]

Code executes synchronously if not specifically setup to be asynchronous. So line by line your code inside the loop executes. The lag you are asking about between each loop will be dependent on the lines of code being executed and the time it takes to execute them.

[onyx lantern]

another thing: Is there anyway I could make so breaking the top part of a custom double plant instantly or at least almost instantly breaks the bottom part of the double plant? because currently everything I tried resulted in a little delay but I'm also not sure if that's it and there's nothing I could do about this

[untold magnet]

i think, there's no way to make custom heads placeable like vanilla heads without using scripts to rotate the custom head right?

[knotty plaza]

import { turnModIntoAddOn } from "@minecraft/server";

const addon = turnModIntoAddOn('https://youtu.be/PSnPOYeTW-0?si=5DMZRfBmO1DhjAoo');
addon.start();

[onyx lantern]

what are the advantages for MC too make code asynchronous?

[onyx lantern]

There's a template for custom heads on dev resources

[untold magnet]

send the link

[open urchin]

an entity with an animation that aligns it would be the only alternative

[onyx lantern]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1076158116099526667

[untold magnet]

hell nah, no entities, only blocks

[warm mason]

Why do you avoid scripts?

[remote oyster]

A lot of advantages. By offloading tasks to asynchronous operations, the main game loop running on the primary single core can run more efficiently. This is particularly useful for tasks that involve I/O operations, network requests, or other time-consuming processes. Asynchronous code allows the server to continue processing other tasks while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete. This prevents the server from being blocked by long-running tasks if implemented and managed correctly.

[untold magnet]

i will not avoid scripting

[untold magnet]

its not that useful ig

[onyx lantern]

thats very very interesting!!but in this case why would I ever want to make something synchronous?

[onyx lantern]

well, in this case I honestly would go for scripting

[warm mason]

Asynchrony is not always necessary

[onyx lantern]

detect the player facing direction with 8 cardinal directions

[onyx lantern]

why?

if its better

[warm mason]

Asynchrony is needed for complex tasks, and it essentially just divides them into small synchronous tasks

[wheat condor]

#1322880895656525856 can someone help me?

[untold magnet]

i will use some scripts and a custom item ( wrench ) to fully customise the head block rotation

[onyx lantern]

is it possible to make ticking or systemRunInterval asynchronous?

[remote oyster]

By default JavaScript is synchronous.

[remote oyster]

Yes

[onyx lantern]

how?

[warm mason]

system.runInterval((async function() {
// code
await system.waitTicks(1)
// code
}), 3)

[remote oyster]

Another example:

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

async function performAsyncTask() {
    // Simulate a delay to represent an asynchronous task (e.g., fetching data)
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
    console.log("Asynchronous task completed");
}

function scheduledTask() {
    console.log("Scheduled task started");

    // Call the asynchronous function
    performAsyncTask().then(() => {
        console.log("Scheduled task completed");
    });
}

// Schedule the task to run every 100 ticks (5 seconds)
system.runInterval(scheduledTask, 100);

[warm mason]

Don’t forget that asynchrony is only needed in resource-intensive code. For example, if you just need to scan the inventory of one player, then asynchrony is not very necessary

[onyx lantern]

how about a function that gets executed every tick?

to detect if a player is in contact with a block to then cause damage (a cactus, for example)

[warm mason]

Make it execute every 2 ticks

[onyx lantern]

async or sync?

[warm mason]

And it would be nice if you showed the code, it will be easier to understand how to optimize it

[onyx lantern]

it currently looks bad because I was messing a lot with it to test a few things but wait a second, I'll grab it

[shut citrus]

the most powerful script method

[onyx lantern]

I removed the part that checks if the block has a specific tag while I was testing but I'll add that back once I get the thing that detects which axis is the block in front of the player to work properly

[warm mason]

The code doesn't look complicated, but it can be made asynchronous by putting this instead of runInterval:

const playerPerTick = 1
async function asyncInterval() {
  for (let i = 0; i < world.getAllPLayers().length; i++) {
    climb(world.getAllPlayers()[i])
    if (i % playerPerTick == 0) await system.waitTicks(1)
  }
  asyncInterval()
}

The more playerPerTick the more operations will be performed synchronously, you need to configure this so that the time for a synchronous operation is approximately 30 MS

[onyx lantern]

how can I calculate the time for a sync operation?

also thank you very much!

[warm mason]

record the time before executing the climb function (let time = new Date().getTime()) and after executing this function. The difference will be = time after execution - time before execution. Then 30/time difference and round that number down, putting the final value in playerPerTick.

[onyx lantern]

thank you very much for all the wonderful help and teaching me!

btw, do you know if there's a better way I could make the player stay still in the air? I'm currently using knockback but idk if there's a better way

[inland merlin]

[wheat condor]

yes

[warm mason]

inv.setItem(slot, null)

[wheat condor]

nvm

[neat hazel]

And to add tag to the item is: inv.getItem(slot).addTag('your tag') ??

[distant tulip]

item tags are not dynamic

[wheat condor]

inv.setItem(slot,item)

serty what?!\

[warm mason]

.

[distant tulip]

item tags != entity tags

[wheat condor]

i mean if you add a tag you have to replace it no? like lore

[warm mason]

Tags for items and blocks can only be set in json

[distant tulip]

those are item tags
script api can't edit them

[wheat condor]

🧠 ❌

[distant tulip]

use lore or dynamic property

[neat hazel]

But there is no way to check the TAG via API?

[wheat condor]

bruh is it hard to check auto completions?

[warm mason]

if (item.hasTag('tag'))

[distant tulip]

hasTag
but as i said the tag here is not what you are thinking

yes

Let me know if it fixed it

I found string of this durability part dur#${Math.min(Math.max(data?.durability, 0) || 0, 99).toString().padStart(2, '0')}
So I removed that from main script and it worked

But thanks for trying tho

[meager cargo]

How change this

   title(text) {
       this.#titleText += text;
       return this;
   }```

To the exported title text from rawtext? Like in ActionForm (this still is question for ChestFormUI code)

This is a good idea

Thanks

[shut citrus]

Why

just laugh at it

[dim tusk]

What is he laughing about?

Ohh the spider leg

[dusky pulsar]

the message below it

[dim tusk]

Why? Are you saying it's not possible?

[dusky pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/essp-enderblitz-galahad-slumber-party-why-isnt-it-possible-gif-25649259

[dim tusk]

bold for you to assume it's not possible without even trying

[dusky pulsar]

then make it...

😃

[dim tusk]

Why are you ordering me?

[keen laurel]

my understanding is that you can use multiple entities acting as bones for IK to make it work, but I could be wrong

Not the most trivial task that's for sure

[shut citrus]

so bad

mojang don't even add any big feature for rp

[dim tusk]

You are correct but more entities = more tps drop

[keen laurel]

yep, but it's a solution

[dusky pulsar]

Oh fiddlesticks, what now

[past blaze]

Wouldn't it be theoretically possible to code the IK via molang? Then you could just pass the position of the legs through actor properties in a single entity

[keen laurel]

maybe yeah, haven't tried it

[warm drum]

Erm

[valid ice]

My God, it’s Mr. Script API himself

[warm drum]

anyone can help me with block stuff

the block help section is so dead

[valid ice]

[warm drum]

plz

[valid ice]

I don’t do block stuff

Sowwy 🥺

[wary edge]

@warm drum Use the proper channels please.

[dim tusk]

Herobrine saying "sowwy" is new to me lmao

[valid ice]

😏

[dim tusk]

Nya~

[tight plume]

alright bro put down the phone

[dim tusk]

No.

[cold shoal]

There's no limit on the number of dynamic properties right? (Just the value stored ? ? ?)

[round bone]

yeah

[cold shoal]

thanks!

[rapid wren]

wtf does this mean

[dull shell]

system.runInterval(()=>{
    let property = "jay:health_upgrade";
    let player = "player"
    for (let entity of world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities()) {
      if (entity.typeId === "jay:health_upgrade") {
          let dynamicProperty = entity.getDynamicProperty(property);
          if (dynamicProperty === undefined) {
              entity.setDynamicProperty(property, world.scoreboard.getObjective('HealthCost').getScore(player))
          } else 
          if (dynamicProperty > 0) {
              entity.setDynamicProperty(property, dynamicProperty - 1);
          }
  
          entity.nameTag = `§a$${entity.getDynamicProperty(property)}`
      }
    }
  }, 20)

[slow walrus]

it means exactly what it says. server-ui 1.4.0-beta is requesting server 1.17.0-beta, but you have 1.16.0 in your manifest, so it's promoting the version up to 1.17.0-beta

so if you wanna get rid of it, then change your @minecraft/server version in your manifest to 1.17.0-beta

[rapid wren]

"dependencies": [
{
"version": [
1,
0,
0
],
"uuid": "13293fe7-f502-41bc-b9c9-1144f06a2153"
},
{
"module_name": "@minecraft/server-ui",
"version": "1.4.0-beta"
},
{
"module_name": "@minecraft/server",
"version": "1.17.0-beta"
}
]
}

i already have 1.17 in it

[slow walrus]

well it looks like you have multiple of the same addon enabled somehow,

make sure the other ones are removed or fixed

[chilly fractal]

I have been coding for around 10 hours straight now trying to get my stupid indexedDB to work so i can store images and jwt and other stuff in it and its hard to do this & encrypt & decrypt it at the same time... and i just randomly remembered an error in my custom commands script and i decided to see if it was an actual error and it was an error i had no idea about and i fixed... without even seeing the script i knew there was an error on a certain line and certain column 💀

[chilly fractal]

(Basically i was coding the server website and just got an insight in the middle of the session about an error in the server's scripting api addon..., my brain has telepathy or smth), is this normal?

[subtle cove]

Its normal

Above normal, I'd say

[chilly fractal]

The thing is i literally didn't remember the line's code nah, i remembered line column and row...

I didn't even know what the error was

[subtle cove]

The insight progress triggered sth related to that code. Which how I usually map my memories

[chilly fractal]

Wha?

[subtle cove]

Like remembering a word from a conversation yrs ago

[chilly fractal]

So is that some kind of syndrome or great memory or what exactly?... (I'm asking you (a software engineer) a doctor's question... lol)

[subtle cove]

Uhm, I see it as "cool weird network"

[distant tulip]

"Remember M9" suiting name

[chilly fractal]

Fr

Welp ig its cool lol

Btw does anyone have a working example of retrieving a value from an indexedDB?

[distant tulip]

indexedDB?

[dim tusk]

Is this NoSQL?

[chilly fractal]

Nah

Its kinda like sql

Its relatation

But its like

One sec

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API

[subtle cove]

just make a class for db management...

[chilly fractal]

Yeah thats the thing

It doesn't work lmao

Basically it does work but uhh it show null when i retrieve

[chilly fractal]

Nvm got it to work lol.. all that was happening was i didn't clear cache lmfao

I can't believe i forgor about it

if (!entity.isValid()) return;

[chilly fractal]

You're welcome.

[mystic bluff]

Does anyone know how to make it so if i have the tag Owner for example it puts this above my head

[Owner]

[dim tusk]

player.nameTag = ''

tho changing the name tag of the player doesn't affect the chat so you'll use another even listener for that

[loud brook]

From what I understand you want a way of detecting if the player had the tag and also the ability to display it in him.

[loud brook]

If(player.hasTag(“example”) === true) {}

[warm mason]

Useless

[dim tusk]

True, just do (player.hasTag()) or (!player.hasTag())

[loud brook]

Yeah, but I just wrote it anyway

[mystic bluff]

how do you display it above the head?

[dim tusk]

^ this.

[untold magnet]

i already did, but it's so so glitched for some reason

[wheat condor]

is it possible to cahnge the biome of a specified area like in java?

[warm mason]

no

[wheat condor]

something that can cahnge the grass/foliage tone?

like i want to create seasons for my addon

[dim tusk]

Guys... I'm kinda confused with this one.

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ blockComponentRegistry }) => {
    blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('chess:board', {
        onPlace({ block, previousBlock, dimension }) {
            if (previousBlock.type.id !== 'chess:board') world.setDynamicProperty(`chessBoard:${dimension.id}:${block.location.x},${block.location.y},${block.location.z}`, initialChessPieces); <-- line 117
        }
    });
});```

```[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Native variant type conversion failed. Interface property ['z'] expected type: number (failed parsing interface to Function argument [1])    at onPlace (main.js:117)```

[chilly fractal]

Try doing console.error(block.location); & console.error(block.location.x); & console.error(typeof block.location.z);

[dim tusk]

that's the fun part no error... It shows normal

[chilly fractal]

It isn't supposed to test it, its supposed to debug the value.

[dim tusk]

what? As I said when logging it doesn't throw an error but when I put it as the name of dynamic property

[chilly fractal]

Me personally i do:

let blockKey = `${block.dimension.id}|${Object.values(block.location).reverse().join(' ')}`;

[dim tusk]

Lemme try this... And if it doesn't work then... I'm losing my mind here.

Nope didn't freaking work

NVM

I'm just stupid

[dim tusk]

This stupid error is because of this.

const initialChessPieces = {
    a1: 'rook', b1: 'knight', c1: 'bishop', d1: 'queen', e1: 'king', f1: 'bishop', g1: 'knight', h1: 'rook',
    a2: 'pawn', b2: 'pawn', c2: 'pawn', d2: 'pawn', e2: 'pawn', f2: 'pawn', g2: 'pawn', h2: 'pawn',
    a8: 'rook', b8: 'knight', c8: 'bishop', d8: 'queen', e8: 'king', f8: 'bishop', g8: 'knight', h8: 'rook',
    a7: 'pawn', b7: 'pawn', c7: 'pawn', d7: 'pawn', e7: 'pawn', f7: 'pawn', g7: 'pawn', h7: 'pawn'
};```

The games think I am giving a Vector3, which I'm not. So I need to stringify it

[cold grove]

you can only store strings, numbers or Vector3 in dynamic properties**

[dim tusk]

And objects

const object = { name: 'Coddy', age: Infinity };
world.setDynamicProperty('test', JSON.stringify(object));|```

[cold grove]

thats an string

[dim tusk]

what?

[cold grove]

JSON.stringify

[valid ice]

Bro is infinity years old 💀

[dim tusk]

Ok, I don't get your point.

Anyways.. I'm just stupid it's 12:51 in the morning

[lone ruin]

you can't store objects in dynamic properties afaik. so i recommend parsing them first into strings and back

[keen laurel]

That's what json.stringify does

[dim tusk]

Hello there it's been awhile since I saw you.. and I know how to use them...

[dim tusk]

Thank you Mr. Obvious.

[dim tusk]

^

[keen laurel]

Yes I know I was telling the guy who told u to parse it into a string not you

Because you already did that

[lone ruin]

was replying to this. just to clarify

[dim tusk]

i mean I phrased it wrong... so it's my fault I guess lol

[lone ruin]

but im more concerned with how you passed chessBoard:${dimension.id}:${block.location.x},${block.location.y},${block.location.z} as the dynamicProperty name. that should be static, no?

[dim tusk]

Huh?

[lone ruin]

i feel like the dimension, and block location should be mapped in a global scope first

ie., it should be stored in as a value, not in the name

[dim tusk]

that's not what I want.

so I put a dimension with the location since... When I go to the nether and I change in that location in the other dimension it's also affected

[chilly fractal]

If i were you I'd make a class for managing these locations.
÷《 Disappears Into The Darkness》÷

[dim tusk]

I'm not gonna bother making it I'm just gonna use it once.

like what?

[chilly fractal]

world.getDynamicPropertyIds:
Am i a joke to you?

[dim tusk]

Also I used dp for debugging because I didn't add states on my block yet

[chilly fractal]

And idk honestly how you are using it

[dim tusk]

what?

[chilly fractal]

Ehem

For getting all dps

[keen laurel]

seeing dp and it not being dynamic programming feels wrong

[chilly fractal]

Like i said

[chilly fractal]

It looks normal to me

[dim tusk]

not my problem :)

[chilly fractal]

Y'all just don't like ugly code and perfect outcome.

[lone ruin]

im implying that you should make a block database and store all instances of chessboard pieces inside there, instead of making multiple dynamic properties

[chilly fractal]

Nah.

He's doing it correctly how we are supposed to.

[dim tusk]

^

[keen laurel]

realistically you should only have one dynamic property for one chess board, as long as you can fit it within the character constraint

[lone ruin]

is what im saying

[keen laurel]

but I think that's what he is doing?

it looks like he is storing the origin as chessboard:dimension:coordinate

[lone ruin]

by passing chessBoard:${dimension.id}:${block.location.x},${block.location.y},${block.location.z} as an arg, you're making multiple instances of dynamic properties though, are you not?

[chilly fractal]

Yes he is

[lone ruin]

yeah but thats the name

[chilly fractal]

Y'all just leave bro alone fr. He ain't like those people using commands when native methods exist

And i think this personally is better in every aspect.

With all due respect plz let this go fr

[lone ruin]

i dont think it is though. overtime, its gonna fill up the allocated dynamic property size. on the other hand, if you have a controlled database, not only you can monitor it, but also theoretically fit more block data

[chilly fractal]

Not really

It depends on the bytes

So it doesn't matter from here and there

[keen laurel]

The size for dynamic properties is on the dynamic property itself, not the amount of them

[chilly fractal]

Also stringifying makes them have more useless characters so its worse

[lone ruin]

you can significantly reduce it though. dude its literally java script, just import an npm that compresses strings or something. or better yet compress it yourself

[dim tusk]

bruh

[dim tusk]

^

[chilly fractal]

Or you could just do world.getDynamicPropertyIds for having so called "control" that you "never had".

Instead of parsing and compressing and stringifiying.

[dim tusk]

For God sake guys, stop because I don't plan on using dp in final

I will rely on states of the block

WTF

[keen laurel]

@dim tusk do u have a dynamic property for each chessboard block, or just one for the origin? (just curious)

[lone ruin]

anyways back to the original dilemma, i would like to ask if changing the chessBoard:${dimension.id}:${block.location.x},${block.location.y},${block.location.z} to something simple and static like chessBoard:data would yield different results.

[chilly fractal]

:sigh:

[chilly fractal]

^

[dim tusk]

You want me to store all locations in one dp?

[keen laurel]

yeah that's rlly bad

[lone ruin]

there is a combined limit of 32kb

[lone ruin]

for now

[dim tusk]

which you won't hit at all

[lone ruin]

nah just test it and revert it back

[keen laurel]

nope, unlimited amount, each dynamic property is 32kb

[dim tusk]

no difference at all.. why?

[grim raft]

yo

[chilly fractal]

32kb limit, 32k chars per dp, stringifying adds unnecessary chars like extra " and what not.

[dim tusk]

Not infinite at all but you won't hit the limit unless you spam it shit

[grim raft]

it doesnt work for some reason

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

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        player.onScreenDisplay.setTitle(`[health_bar_0]`)
    }
})```

[grim raft]

thats the whole file

[chilly fractal]

Whaa

[dim tusk]

manifest problem?

[chilly fractal]

What tf do you plan on doin with it?
Also what is the error?

[grim raft]

this is just a test to see if it actually work

[chilly fractal]

Do you have it imported? (If you use a multiple folder system like me)

[grim raft]

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

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        player.onScreenDisplay.setTitle(`[health_bar_${Math.round(player.getComponent("health").currentValue / player.getComponent("health").effectiveMax * 24)}]`)
    }
})```

[chilly fractal]

Is your manifest.json valid?

[grim raft]

yea

[grim raft]

no

[keen laurel]

does it have a module with the latest server version though?

[chilly fractal]

Wydm by no?

[chilly fractal]

Not needed, health comp alr out.

[grim raft]

yup

[lone ruin]

stringifying does increase the size, but you can still compress it. and decompress when accessing data, vice versa..

[grim raft]

is this error related to it?

[chilly fractal]

I know. But you are increasing the chars, therefor closer to hit the chars limit.

[chilly fractal]

Yeah basically manifest.json

Why'd you tell me the manifest.json was valid then?

[grim raft]

cuz I thought it was

[keen laurel]

the real point here is you're more likely to reach the 32k character limit if you have many chessboards, than the actual limit of dynamic properties if you have each chessboard location saved.

[chilly fractal]

Hmmm

Looks valid

Then its something else in you scripts

[chilly fractal]

Not the manifest.json and nor this snippet.

[keen laurel]

Is it possible that it's happening before the player fully loads in the world and the game doesn't know how to run it lol

[chilly fractal]

Well system.runInterval doesn't break

It would keep throwing errors instead of stopping the whole script.

[grim raft]

there are no errors

[chilly fractal]

Because it doesn't have any and the script doesn't even work

[grim raft]

bruh

[chilly fractal]

Its something in your other script files.

Provide the whole content log

[lone ruin]

my point is storing multiple chessboards in a single instance (e.g., map), and then saving that map into dp. but not necessarily just one dp, it's to be splitted in 32kb characters, across multiple dps. this is what im implying as a centralized database.

[dim tusk]

it's hard to reach that at all if I'm gonna be honest

[grim raft]

there arent

any

just 1 file

[keen laurel]

well if it is a server with 1000 chessboard, 32 characters per chessboard already would reach the limit

[chilly fractal]

There is no possible way for me to know, without full context and all of the log.

[distant tulip]

send the bp

[keen laurel]

later after talking u said u just wanted 1 so it's fine

[dim tusk]

Good bye world it would lag because I have a lot of states in a block

if you plan that

[distant tulip]

no?

[lone ruin]

what block states would you use aside from the obvious cardinal/facing direction

[keen laurel]

sorry ur right 33 my bad

[lone ruin]

i guess the chess pieces would need to be rendered

which is another problem

[dim tusk]

who said only cardinal directions?

[keen laurel]

Is it possible to make a chessboard in one block? lmao

like using molang

[distant tulip]

you are forgetting that the key can also be any char long
"x" to "x"*32k + every other combination

[dim tusk]

yes, if you need to render pieces you definitely need 2 block at least, because I calculated it yesterday lmfao

[grim raft]

if it still doesnt work then the problem is in my json ui

[grim raft]

use only the bp

[lone ruin]

what if instead of using block states, you fake the render of chess pieces using entities :o

[dim tusk]

that's my plan because using block states ain't worth + lag

1,219,760,487,635,835,700,138,573,862,562,971,820,755,615,294,131,238,401

This is the total permutation of a block if every position has 5 state values, empty, pawn, etc.

[lone ruin]

nah thats no good lol

[chilly fractal]

Crazy

[dim tusk]

try logging like do console.error()

[grim raft]

forgot that exist

[distant tulip]

good luck with that
(the game break)

[dim tusk]

2 blocks having maximum states

Nuh uh

[cold grove]

we can say that we are storing objects but the api just accepts "plain text", we parse the object to "plain text" to save it

[dim tusk]

Yeah yeah

I phrased it wrong that's why. LMFAO

[distant tulip]

@grim raft work fine... i guess?

no error

[grim raft]

try to run the bp alone

it shouldnt look like that

OH NVM I FIXED IT

forgot smth in my hud_screen

mb guys

the script works

[dim tusk]

BRUH

LoL

[distant tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/pemi-is-fine-gif-434567585080765969

[dim tusk]

Just a little map in the position pieces can move to...

[dim fractal]

Does anyone know how to make a capture the flag system?

[chilly fractal]

That's some stuff you never see everyday

[dim tusk]

My tini tiny finger hurts now

[chilly fractal]

syetem.runInterval & damage sensors incase you wanna disable team damage and add a tag to players using some randomization algorithm and add the map or whatever.

[chilly fractal]

Lol

[dim tusk]

i actually implemented the pawn now wohoo after 1 hou

[chilly fractal]

Crazy lol but i bet there is like a thousand checks and not to mention the amount of permutations right?

I am thinking about my website and trying to think about script api but i can't so yeah im sorry for taking long to type lmao

[valid ice]

Chess is so hard

[chilly fractal]

But you are displaying stuff using multiple print statements and using multiple nested if statements i believe.

Me personally i could make chess without manually doing anything at all on html & js and a tiny bit of css.

And idk I'll find some chess playing algorithm and implement it to play against me lol

But doing this on mc and not using forms nah. Using block permutations.

Kinda mad fr

Imagine

The only possible way i see coddy finishing this project is to auto generate the permutations.

[untold magnet]

hmm

i have this thing eBlock?.withState('exe:rotation', rotation) on playerPlaceBlock ( beforrEvents )
and it has a log, it says the air block doesn't have the 'exe:rotation' state,

i think that happened cuz the system ran that before i even placed the block

[chilly fractal]

Then simply cache the block and do system.run(() => { /* your code */});

By cache i mean storing a variable with whatever name pleases you the most and assigning it's value to the raw block object.
