Script API General

[untold magnet]

system.run(() => {eBlock?.withState('exe:rotation', rotation)})?

[cold grove]

You can use particles and molangVariableMaps for the pieces, just an idea

[distant tulip]

💀

how many lines are those

[untold magnet]

it didn't work but i found another way and it works.

[dim tusk]

block.setPermutation(block.permutation.withState({ '<name>': <value> });```

this is how you use it

[untold magnet]

already did

[dim tusk]

I might actually.

Anyways here it is. Kinda confusing since there's no pieces yet but I added the logging in the top right... @chilly fractal

[sage sparrow]

hi there, so I have some nametag system that used to work just fine, but recently I noticed that after a player dies the nametag shows up like so:
any ideia what could cause that? that might be related to the new death screen?

[mystic bluff]

Looks fun to play

[mystic bluff]

why don't make it 8 by 8 with big pieces

[distant tulip]

what is the problem?
the position?

[sage sparrow]

yes

I think this is the position when it is set to a dead body

but it remains after respawn for some reason

[distant tulip]

did you edit the entity file?

the nametag is position is relative to the entity collision box

[cold grove]

aslo it will be cool that you can use the new inputs to move an cursor to select the spot

wanna see the progress, so interested 👀

[untold magnet]

without entities?

[dim tusk]

system yes, but the visuals I need entities since blocks have limits so I can't just use states

[untold magnet]

great work!

[grizzled storm]

Oum hi everyone if you don't mind, is it possible to make an Custom fishing rod using Script API?and have the function of a normal fishing rod?
I'm a bit curious since I'm trying to make a custom fishing rod for an addon I'm working

[grizzled storm]

Just @mention me if anyone have an idea if it's possible

[untold magnet]

almost nothing is impossible for me ( while making custom stuff working exactly like vanilla )
i believe it is possible

[dim tusk]

@valid ice yours is closed source?

[grizzled storm]

Thanks, Now this gives me hope to finally make an custom fishing rod that functions like a vanilla one

[untold magnet]

use a small system that will take 1 durability from the item if needed and change the texture of it ( by making it a custom modelled item ) and summon a new custom entity with a custom rope that is connected to the player somehow

i know, the custom rope that is connected to the player is a thing on bedrock, u can make it but idk how exactly

[grizzled storm]

// Handle item durability damage
function damageRod(player, item) {
const durability = item.getComponent("minecraft:durability");
if (durability) {
durability.damage(1); // Reduce durability by 1

    // If rod is broken, remove it from inventory
    if (durability.damage >= durability.maxDurability) {
        player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container.removeItem(item);
        player.sendMessage("Your fishing rod broke!");
    }
}

}

[valid ice]

Yes

[sick robin]

@dim tusk can you help again with my post?

@untold magnet any chance you can help with my script api post

[dim tusk]

Yes? About what?

[sick robin]

and idk how to fix it

@dim tusk here: 1323484880763490374 its that thread id I have one open

[dim tusk]

What thread, what you gave me is numbers

[deep arrow]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1323484880763490374

Its that

[sick robin]

@deep arrow yes thats it

@dim tusk idk does this work when I paste it:https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1323484880763490374

[deep arrow]

more people needa code in typescript imo

[dim tusk]

If they can't even do js why use ts?

[deep arrow]

fair ig i just prefer ts lol

[dull shell]

anyway to detect a players movement speed?

and tie it to a scoreboard

[tawny jungle]

how can I set an item slot to a quantity of one on an entity that isn't the player?

ive tried this but nothing seems to happen

const entity = block.dimension.spawnEntity("sci:mBContainer", block.location)
const entitySlot = entity.getComponent("inventory").container;
const book = entitySlot.addItem(playerMainHandSlot)
entitySlot.amount = 1```

[chilly fractal]

W

[chilly fractal]

Nah the logic you have is concerning.

You can set it to any number (from 0 to 35) i think. [Btw entities dont have main hand slots]

[shell sigil]

Guys do you know about Mojang update that items have colors now that indicates how it's rare so is there any in script that can detect how rare I'm holding

[chilly fractal]

Nope

Make a map of all the items yourself

And this won't know rarity of custom items too.

[shell sigil]

Ohhh ok

[dense sun]

are there any optimisation techniques i could use for those users who face high ping in servers?

using script api i could pre activate a function

For example melee attacks

Higher ping gives more damage

[tawny jungle]

what do you mean?

[slow walrus]

it looks like a new (I think?) bug. Had the same thing happen today

[chilly fractal]

entity.getComponent('inventory').container.setItem(0, new ItemStack('netherite_ingot'));

[quick shoal]

Wth is this

[distant tulip]

he is joking

[quick shoal]

LoL I think it's real

[empty grail]

is this even possible https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1323607944314748990?

entity property,

use q.property in animation to set the legs animaton/position(if it possible)

use scriptApi to set the property

idk if there any scoreboard query

[distant tulip]

scoreboard query only work if it is displayed

[shut citrus]

too complicated

bedrock system goal need to be simple and powerful

[empty grail]

then the mods youre recreating is too complicated too

[shut citrus]

it's easier than that thing

[empty grail]

how to use dimension.getBlocks ?

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

what is BlockVolumeBase

[empty grail]

u alrd did it?

well then congrats

[shut citrus]

nope

i cancelled the mods

[slow walrus]

entity properties is actually a very decent way of doing this

[hushed ravine]

How do I create a wall of blocks in all directions (starting from the center) without replacing any block?

[distant tulip]

"how do i place a bock without placing a block" is what i understood from your question

[hushed ravine]

Damn

[hushed ravine]

I'm trying to find ways to just place a border made of blocks without collision box. I would use this to show players what's the actual safe zone

[distant tulip]

use particles
blocks are not a good idea

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[hushed ravine]

I did it last time I did this, but the border wasn't very clear to players, making them confused

I used a bunch of border block particles iirc

[distant tulip]

or this if you want to use blocks, just make sure to use filter and remove the up and down planes

[thorn flicker]

how was it confusing though

[hushed ravine]

You couldn't see it all the time, only if you actually approached the border

[distant tulip]

same with blocks?

[hushed ravine]

I never tried blocks for a border, and it's the first time that I want to do it with blocks

[thorn flicker]

maybe you didn't do something correctly, because that's weird.

[hushed ravine]

Let me see if I have my previous code (I probably do since it's in a private Git repository)

[thorn flicker]

I doubt I would be able to help

[hushed ravine]

[tasks/player.ts]

  if (border.condition) {
    showBorderParticles(p, 20);
    p.applyDamage(2);
    p.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(
      "§cYou're in the border. §eYou will die if you don't go back!",
    );
    return;
  }

  if (border.closeTo) {
    showBorderParticles(p, 8);
    p.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(
      "§6You're close to the border! Going further will end your game.",
    );
    return;
  }

[index.ts]

export function showBorderParticles(player: server.Player, frequency: number = 2) {
  for (let i = 0; i < frequency; i++) {
    let position = {
      x: Math.floor(Math.random() * 5) - 2,
      y: Math.floor(Math.random() * 5) - 2,
      z: Math.floor(Math.random() * 5) - 2,
    };
    server.world
      .getDimension(MinecraftDimensionTypes.Overworld)
      .runCommand(
        "execute as " +
        player.name +
        " at @s run particle minecraft:rising_border_dust_particle " +
        `~${position.x} ~${position.y} ~${position.z}`,
      );
  }
}

[thorn flicker]

well, you shouldn't use commands

[hushed ravine]

Yeah, I know

I used to, though

(which is bad)

[distant tulip]

i may look into this later, no promise tho

[hushed ravine]

Alright!!

Also, why the hell did I use an execute as command if I could've just ran the command as the player

neofox_googly_shocked

[thorn flicker]

I find it funny because you used setActionBar method

but you used a command for the other part

[hushed ravine]

I don't even know if the spawnParticles method was a thing back then

[thorn flicker]

lol

[hushed ravine]

We're talking about 2023

[thorn flicker]

well... was it actually? how long ago was this
when was spawnParticle added?

[distant tulip]

commands do spawn particles outside loaded area, right?

[thorn flicker]

you wouldnt get an error for that

[hushed ravine]

I have no clue, honestly. I remember using a command because I couldn't find another way to spawn particles

[distant tulip]

it was there from 1.1.0-beta

[hushed ravine]

neofox_googly_shocked

Terrible Script API coder back then

[thorn flicker]

nahhh

[hushed ravine]

I would ask a bunch of questions here in this thread

Now I either do the stuff myself

Or, if I ask any question, I may solve it myself somehow

[thorn flicker]

you just needed to look at documents more and you should've been fine

assuming it was well documented

[empty grail]

anyone know how to convert block into color?

[empty grail]

🥸

[thorn flicker]

uh

[distant tulip]

we all were terrible at it in some point

[hushed ravine]

That's true

[empty grail]

true

[distant tulip]

coddy did sent you a script, no?

[thorn flicker]

we can get map color?

cool

[hushed ravine]

That's amazing

[distant tulip]

yeah

[empty grail]

oh that's amazing

[thorn flicker]

that wont always be accurate when it comes to custom blocks though.

not all devs define map color component...

[distant tulip]

yeah

[empty grail]

yep

[hushed ravine]

Unrelated, but are minimaps even possible on Bedrock?

[thorn flicker]

ive seen like 2

both were EH

[empty grail]

somedude use render controller and anim

[empty grail]

to manually render it

[hushed ravine]

Dang

[empty grail]

maybe someone will make it

[hushed ravine]

Impressive stuff overall

[thorn flicker]

1 guy used json ui and loaded a structure into it

I think

[empty grail]

yeah using structure 3d renderer it's possible

[thorn flicker]

Im assuming they kept updating the structure every tick with scripts

[thorn flicker]

yeahh

idk how performant that is though

probably not good...

[empty grail]

using just resource pack is impresive tho

oh yeah and structure renderer doesnt have to reloaded everytime isnt it

[thorn flicker]

huh

[empty grail]

typo

[thorn flicker]

oh, reloaded

[hushed ravine]

How do I use block volumes?

[hushed ravine]

I'm trying to get this working

[thorn flicker]

import BlockVolume class.

[hushed ravine]

Yeah, okay. I just want to know how they work

[thorn flicker]

its already imported...

[empty grail]

idk when i use

new BlockVolume(from:player.location,to:player.location)

[thorn flicker]

here

[empty grail]

i think it's just parameter?

[thorn flicker]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.15.0-rc.1.21.50-preview.24/classes/BlockVolume.html

[hushed ravine]

Ohhhhh

Thank you!!

That makes sense

[empty grail]

suprise in me it doesnt work

[empty grail]

i just use ```js
getSurfaceBlock({from:Vector3,to:Vector3})

and it's work

[hushed ravine]

I prefer doing it the right way tbh

[hushed ravine]

This doesn't really work with big distances

[meager cargo]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(eventData => {
    const player = eventData.player;
    const entity = eventData.target;

    if (entity.typeId !== "test:test" || player.typeId !== "minecraft:player") return; {

        entity.runCommand("particle minecraft:huge_explosion_emitter ~ ~ ~");
        system.runTimeout(() => {
            entity.remove()
        }, 40);
    }    
});

How I can make in this script so player can Interact only one time with the entity? Because now I can Interact with it till it's removed, so if I spam button I can do it like 6 times, which is wrong.

[hushed ravine]

And now I know why: unloaded chunks

Whenever I use the getSurfaceBlocks method with large distances (50 for example), it will just spit out this error

I don't really know how to solve it

[dim tusk]

tickingarea

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({ player, target: entity }) => {
    if (entity.typeId !== "test:test" || entity.getDynamicProperty("hasInteracted")) return;

    entity.setDynamicProperty("hasInteracted", true);

    entity.runCommand("particle minecraft:huge_explosion_emitter ~ ~ ~");

    system.runTimeout(() => {
        entity.remove();
    }, 40);
});```

Use dynamic property

[distant tulip]

you just have to find the best way of getting the colors and displaying it

[dim tusk]

This is aliasing right?

[distant tulip]

no
it is just a loop that get colors and pass them to particle
no additional stuff

[dim tusk]

Oof, I thought that's a block from far away it's just 1 full block particle

[distant tulip]

it is 400 particle

20x20 map

[dim tusk]

Bruh

I want 3d particles

Rahhh

[meager cargo]

Thank you very much!

[hushed ravine]

Yeah, but how?

[remote oyster]

If you are looking to generate a border, which is what it appears to be in your image, then you could have it create the border as players come near it. This way the chunks are loaded prior to accessing the general location.

[hushed ravine]

I don't know about that approach

Player have to clearly see the border. It can't just pop in like nothing

[remote oyster]

I believe the effect won't be much different as your rendering distance when you move about, but it will likely depend on how close you want them to be before you generate it.

@hot gust, I believe you already do something like this so maybe you can clarify.

[hot gust]

yes

i have a custom particle

then im trying to find the code

its a fair amount of code but creates a border lines within the world

// Visual Border system configuration
let worldSpawn = { x: 0, y: 64, z: 0 }; // Center of the world border
const particleEffectName = "paradox:worldborderviz";
const maxDistance = 44; // Max distance from player to spawn particles to ensure chunks are loaded
const maxParticles = 500; // Maximum number of particles to spawn
const particleLifetime = 3.5; // Lifetime of particles in seconds
const ticksPerSecond = 20; // Minecraft runs at 20 ticks per second
const spawnInterval = particleLifetime * ticksPerSecond; // Interval to spawn particles in ticks

let tickCounter = 2; // Initialize the counter

// Function to calculate positions for a line along the x or z axis at the world border
function calculateBorderLinePositions(borderNumber, axis, start, length, y) {
    let positions = [];
    if (axis === 'x') {
        for (let i = -length; i <= length; i++) {
            positions.push({ x: borderNumber, y: y, z: start + i });
        }
    } else if (axis === 'z') {
        for (let i = -length; i <= length; i++) {
            positions.push({ x: start + i, y: y, z: borderNumber });
        }
    }
    return positions;
}```

function filterPositions(playerPos, positions, maxDistance) {
    return positions.filter(position => {
        let distance = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(position.x - playerPos.x, 2) + Math.pow(position.z - playerPos.z, 2));
        return distance <= maxDistance;
    });
}```

    let spawned = 0;
    for (let position of positions) {
        if (spawned >= maxParticles) break;
        // Convert coordinates to integers
        let intX = Math.floor(position.x);
        let intY = Math.floor(position.y);
        let intZ = Math.floor(position.z);
        // Spawn the particle at integer coordinates
        world.getDimension(dimension).spawnParticle(effectName, { x: intX, y: intY, z: intZ });
        spawned++;
    }
}

    tickCounter++; // Increment the tick counter
    let worldBorderNumber = border
    if (tickCounter == 3) {
        const playerPosition = player.location;
        
        
        
        const worldBorderNumbers = [border, -border]; // Array to store both positive and negative border numbers

        // Check if player is near the x or z border number
        let particlePositions = [];
        for (let worldBorderNumber of worldBorderNumbers) {
            if (Math.abs(playerPosition.x - worldBorderNumber) < maxDistance) {
                particlePositions = particlePositions.concat(calculateBorderLinePositions(worldBorderNumber, 'x', playerPosition.z, 50, playerPosition.y));
            }
            if (Math.abs(playerPosition.z - worldBorderNumber) < maxDistance) {
                particlePositions = particlePositions.concat(calculateBorderLinePositions(worldBorderNumber, 'z', playerPosition.x, 50, playerPosition.y));
            }
        }

        // Filter the positions to those within a reasonable range of the player
        let filteredPositions = filterPositions(playerPosition, particlePositions, maxDistance);
        let currentDim = dimension;

        // Spawn a limited number of particles at the filtered positions
        spawnParticlesAtPositions(particleEffectName, filteredPositions, maxParticles,currentDim);

        tickCounter = 0; // Reset the counter after spawning particles
    }
}

then on a tick script i used the older paradox world border to do all this

if(player.dimension.id === "minecraft:overworld"){
    let dim = "minecraft:overworld"
updateParticlePositions(player,worldBorderOverworldNumber,dim);
}
if(player.dimension.id === "minecraft:nether"){
updateParticlePositions(player,worldBorderNetherNumber,player.dimension.id);
}
if(player.dimension.id === "minecraft:the_end"){
updateParticlePositions(player,worldBorderEndNumber),player.dimension.id;
}```

sorry for the spam lol

[past blaze]

I find it really, really, really stupid that the typeof null equals object. object!

why JS 🤦‍♂️

[buoyant canopy]

everything in an object

[quick shoal]

Happy new year!

[sharp elbow]

It's not that bad. You can add && param != null

[distant tulip]

the funny thing is a fix was proposed and got rejected
https://web.archive.org/web/20160331031419/http://wiki.ecmascript.org:80/doku.php?id=harmony:typeof_null

[hardy tusk]

Happy new year

[sharp elbow]

One explanation I saw on StackOverflow suggested that null is equivalent to a null pointer. Following the expectation that pointers in a program's memory are almost always used to point to objects, then it makes sense that typeof null == 'object'

(In that a variable can either be assigned to a pointer of a given object type, or to null, the latter of which is intended to mean uninitialized or unspecified memory)

I suppose it would be more sensical if JavaScript had a more stringent type system. Then typeof in its current form would be completely irrelevant, and thus this problem would not exist, since there would be no need for an object-like type comparison—only a "is this an X (class)" comparison

[hardy tusk]

I mean you always just use Object instanceof Class

[warm drum]

is there a way to spawn entity with custom variant

[wary edge]

Use entity events to trigger the compinent groups.

[warm drum]

Unfortunately, not all entity has event to trigger the variant switch

[thorn flicker]

you have to edit their files then.

wouldnt be worth it imo

[sage portal]

Huh.
For some reason I thought script API could edit variants by now

I wouldn't know because I've just been using entity properties.

[acoustic basin]

hey guys! i need quite some help with optimizing my add-on

i won't be saying a lot at first, i'll go step by step, i first tried to do something myself, but i need some help now

firstly, and i think mostly, i had quite some system.runIntervals all around the add-on, and all the intervals that matched the same time (in ticks), i merged them in one bug script, hoping that it would stop the "hang" crash, but, ik, its not just runIntervals, it's much more, and im working on it

im changing a lot of scripts, removing a lot of unnecesary stuff (to be more specific, changing the stuff that i made when i didnt know scripting so well, changing all this stuff to the better, imporoved systems)

so, firstly, im looking for some help to stabilize these system.runInterval even more

maybe there's some kind of, a lil bit more optimized, alternative to it?

im still learning scripts, thought, im much better at them now, but i still need help, especially with optimization, anybody willing to help me out?

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-chao-chao-sonic-adventure2battle-sonic-adventure-battle2-sonic-gif-20879342

[thorn flicker]

lol

[chilly fractal]

Sure

Firstly

Any looping through arrays turn it into:

let array = /*value, comment out this line if you already have the array, but for example if you are looping through players then put `world.getPlayers()` here*/;
for (let i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
  let element = array[i];
}```

[acoustic basin]

thank u! u can dm me if more conveniente

[chilly fractal]

Secondly, put the functionality in a function and call it there

Kk

[acoustic basin]

alr wait, im confused, how does this work? like, how is it a looping array and how would it work, for example specifically on every 3 ticks, or evey 500 ticks

[chilly fractal]

It works like normal, just faster

Anyway, secondly, turn any functionality you have in loops into a function outside that loop and call it from there, for example:

system.runInterval(() => {
  // some functionality
});

Should be:

function loop() {
  // functionality
}

system.runInterval(loop);

Also avoid objects as much as humanely possible unless you have the indexes, for example if you have an object with each player's health for example (for example, don't actually do this lmao) and you have their id as the key, then sure you can use objects in this case, this is to avoid the Object.keys() & Object.values() & Object.entries() calls

[distant tulip]

-# "won't be saying a lot at first"

[acoustic basin]

i meant like help with intervals, and then send another script i need help with, and another one, and another one

like, firstly with intervals

[chilly fractal]

Also for long running stuff that doesn't exactly need to be computed exactly every <ticks>, you can use system.runJob(function* (){ // code }());

[acoustic basin]

im starting to understand

its late for me, my brain isnt quite braining, but its starting to brain

im trying to understand and i do

[dim tusk]

If you want to edit the variant I think the entity should have a variant component first... I'm not sure since I don't use that component and also docs said it's not read only 🤷

[chilly fractal]

Also if you use a variable or a function or whatever more than once, and remember this, make sure to cache it the first time and use the cached value from there. But this is completely useless if you are accessing something like system.currentTick and you want the current tick (someone asked about this a long time ago, they asked what is more performant, storing the current tick in a variable and then updating it everything or just using it instantly, and ofc the answer is to just get the property using system.currentTick, but the only use case for caching the current tick is to know when a certain event finished for timed operations).

[dim tusk]

My eyes kinda twitched lmao

[chilly fractal]

Lol

[slim forum]

Exist a way to save data on an item without cancel my use animation? (Sorry for my bad english, Im not english native speaker)

[chilly fractal]

Is it stackable?

[dim tusk]

ngl, that sounds incredibly stupid

[slim forum]

No

[chilly fractal]

So then what is the problem?

[slim forum]

Im using dynamic properties

[dim tusk]

and you're correct when just checking the time cache but the actual time of the world? Why the fuck put it on the variable

[slim forum]

But, to save, we need to reset item

So...

[dim tusk]

Setting the item stops use maybe that's why?

[chilly fractal]

Someone asked something this dumb a long time ago

[slim forum]

When reset, the using animation glitchs

[chilly fractal]

Set it later?

Lock the item and make it not lost on death and hide that by turning off the showTags gamerule

[acoustic basin]

okey, thank u so much pal! i'll get into undertsanding and practicing with this tuff tomorrow

[dim tusk]

It depends, Does it need to be setted constantly?

Hey neight!

[acoustic basin]

i'll also show the script i have

[chilly fractal]

You can't set it instantly right? So just use the other approach. Unless you got a better choice.

I should go now. I still am working on the website :(

[dim tusk]

Uhuh

[chilly fractal]

I am tryna finish the big update before new years eve

[dim tusk]

me who is literally not done with my chess

[chilly fractal]

Lol

[dim tusk]

I literally attach an external keyboard and mouse on my phone

Since it's hard to constantly duplicate an object

[chilly fractal]

The thing is i promised something i couldn't do to my server members :(

[chilly fractal]

let oldObj = Object.entries(oldObj), newObj = Object.fromEntries(oldObj);

[steady canopy]

Don't try to help a beginner being a beginner too... You will just confuse him.

[chilly fractal]

Alright buddy

[steady canopy]

If you were to give good programming advices at least make sure they are. Those are just your ways to do such stuff, not the correct way.

[chilly fractal]

Whatever you say.

[dim tusk]

modelling not script lmao

[chilly fractal]

Ohhh

[dim tusk]

in that case, give the guy the correct advice?

[steady canopy]

I don't have time for that.

I usually help with code snippets here

but explaining someone how to code

[chilly fractal]

Then zip it until you have time to provide help.

[steady canopy]

No

Don't get mad bud

It is what it is

[chilly fractal]

Then you are just attacking, not providing real help.

[steady canopy]

you're a blind trying to lead a blind

[dim tusk]

okay then don't complain that they did something wrong...

NO FUCKIN FIGHTING.... GOSH

[steady canopy]

i'm not complaining

[chilly fractal]

Am i? Or are you? Who is the one attacking here?

[steady canopy]

I'm TELLING that you shouldn't try to help a beginner being a beginner too

leave that for the biggers.

[dim tusk]

your message is literally a complaint 😭

[steady canopy]

No

[chilly fractal]

No "biggers" is helping in this case.

So until they actually start helping

They are undefined and are not in this equation

[steady canopy]

Yeah you can do whatever u want buddy it's a public chat so it's stupid saying i'm complaining bc i'm not a staff here to do something about you giving shit advices.

I was justt giving my opinion

from an objetive pov

that's it

[dim tusk]

^

[steady canopy]

it is what it is

[chilly fractal]

It indeed is what it is.

[steady canopy]

hm

Good advices would be for example... Use guard clauses instead of nested if statements

Something like that

but

Making a separated function to put it inside the runInterval

[chilly fractal]

Some people just pop outta nowhere and start claiming stuff is horrible and bad without providing "the real advise".

[steady canopy]

??

[steady canopy]

^

[dim tusk]

see? You're complaining, you're not just telling the right thing

[steady canopy]

You wanted a real advice there it is

[chilly fractal]

Sure but it has complaining too

[steady canopy]

bruh

Bro doesn't even know what's a complaint

[chilly fractal]

And it usually does nothing in performance, if you want performance you'd use a ternary operator.

Its just for better readability.

[steady canopy]

You can't use ternary operators in all cases 💀

[dim tusk]

if you're not satisfied with someone's advice why not give better advice to the other guy instead of saying "I don't have time" but also have time to tell the guy who doesn't need advice and advice 🤷

[steady canopy]

If you weren't a beginner you wouldn't have said that.

[chilly fractal]

I can, infact.

[steady canopy]

Ternary operators aren't for all cases

[chilly fractal]

I can make them for all cases.

[steady canopy]

imagine doing 6 conditions in a single line just because "you wanna use ternary operator in all cases"

that's crazy

[chilly fractal]

Yeah i do that

Its okay tbh

[steady canopy]

and loses all the sense of that "better readability" you talking about

[steady canopy]

Beginner being a beginner...

anyways

im outta this convo

no point on talking to a beginner

[chilly fractal]

I am telling you you are providing better readability not performance and he was asking about performance

Also you can put the tenary operator on multiple lines btw

[steady canopy]

Using ternary operrators isn't more performant than guard clauses 💀

you're just trying to prove a point that doesn't exist

[chilly fractal]

💀

[dim tusk]

Umm, yeah bro really have time arguing with you instead of giving the guy who actually needed help and advice 😑....

[steady canopy]

You can, yeah, it's still unreadable when there's a lot of conditions to check for.

[steady canopy]

I just gave 1 👍🏼

[chilly fractal]

Put it on a new indentation level, ez problem saved.

[dim tusk]

"I don't have time for that"

[steady canopy]

i just gave 1 👍🏼

[dim tusk]

"I don't have time for that"

[steady canopy]

wtv u say

[steady canopy]

i just gave 1 👍🏼

[chilly fractal]

Not to one who needs advices from an arrogant person.

[steady canopy]

advices*

[neat hazel]

Which one is right?
player.getGamemode("creative")
or
player.getGamemode == "creative"

[chilly fractal]

Yes, whatever i say is better then whatever you say.

[steady canopy]

1st

wait

no

[dim tusk]

It's getGameMode and use 2nd

[steady canopy]

none of them

[chilly fractal]

Both wrong

[chilly fractal]

.getGamemode() === "creative"

[neat hazel]

Oh, thnks

[wheat condor]

Why are you always in fights 😭😭

[steady canopy]

bro thinks he's part of the justice league

[chilly fractal]

Nah i aint always in fights, i always leave fights but some people just love arrogance

[neat hazel]

Okay

[dim tusk]

yeah, they have a love and hate relationship.

[steady canopy]

L

[dim tusk]

But only 20% love

[chilly fractal]

Yeah, i am the flash.

[chilly fractal]

To you.

[wheat condor]

Brothers be arguing on who give a the best code advice

[steady canopy]

womp womp

[chilly fractal]

Sure

[steady canopy]

i wasn't arguing who gives the best one because idc about that

i was arguing about why u SHOULDN'T give bad advices to beginners

[chilly fractal]

Nuh uh, its personal

[chilly fractal]

And i was arguing about your high ego and low iq

[dim tusk]

Normal thing.

[steady canopy]

Low iq 😭🙏

bro doesn't even know what to say anymore

we have Albert Einstein around

[wheat condor]

Bro i think ??? isn’t a beginner he used to help me like 1 year ago

[chilly fractal]

Yes, thanks for accepting that 🙏

[steady canopy]

You don't stop being a beginner in 1 year

[chilly fractal]

Im not him, dw. Hes one of us but not me and for sure not u

[wheat condor]

Am i a beginner?

[chilly fractal]

Low iq see.

[steady canopy]

No idea

[steady canopy]

wtv u say lil bro

[chilly fractal]

Yes whatever i say, its better then whatever the crap comes out of your mouth or your stupid little discord account.

[steady canopy]

Bro got so mad that he's even insulting 🙏

[dim tusk]

Hey, why is it me who doesn't have an enemy... Can I have one?

[steady canopy]

Low iq

definitely

[chilly fractal]

Yes for sure, you have it.

Thanks for admitting finally.

[steady canopy]

Bro's iq is so low that he didn't even realize i was talking 'bout him 💀

[chilly fractal]

No.

[steady canopy]

that's mad crazy

[chilly fractal]

Crazy, bro insults himself and thinks others are talking about themselves!

[wheat condor]

We got Anonymus 2015 ahh hacker vs script veteran 🍿

[steady canopy]

I'm insulting no 1

im just talking about ur low iq

stay mad

[chilly fractal]

You are insulting no.1? Yourself you mean? Cuz indexes start with 1 in lua.

[chilly fractal]

No, thanks 🙏 👍

[wheat condor]

Bro cringe levels are going crazy please stop this 🛑

[steady canopy]

Ok now im actually outta this convo ion wanna get banned, think wtv u wanna think bro, at the end of the day, it's whatever, im a software engineer and you're a kid growing up trying to learn a programming language just to create addons for minecraft 🙏 (i also create Addons but that's not the only thing i do)

[dim tusk]

Damn 😔

[chilly fractal]

Little bud, i am a fullstack web developer and i am a software engineer.

[dim tusk]

yeah just wanna add we didn't ask if you're a full time programmer man...
-# but that's cool I guess?

[wheat condor]

Bro wrote a whole essay

[dim tusk]

Bro got hurt so bad he spammed an emoji?

[chilly fractal]

Frfr

[dim tusk]

Either way ginkn with your lives

[steady canopy]

public convo i say wtv i want 👍🏼

cya

[dim tusk]

there's better things to do than this stupid little shit

[steady canopy]

it wasnt for u srry

[chilly fractal]

See ya. Have a great day 😀

[steady canopy]

was for that guy who thinks he full stack

[steady canopy]

u too

[dim tusk]

Ay ay.. stop it

[chilly fractal]

It was for you*

[wheat condor]

The day is ending 😭🙏

[chilly fractal]

(It long ended in my timezone for this context so yeah)

[dim tusk]

I'm literally calling a mod.
-# nah I'm not I'm a scaredy cat lol

[wheat condor]

Mods should add a channel to argue

[dim tusk]

Kind of useless y'know off-topic channel? Yeah, this argument should be off-topic but they didn't do it

[wheat condor]

Off-topic? Nah

Useless channel

[remote oyster]

A quick search of your name shows you aren't much better. Calm down bro. You got a reputation for stirring up trouble here. Might be time someone puts you in timeout.

[dim tusk]

ehh... Kinda forget bro made two enemies

[remote oyster]

Very few things will bother me. People like him are one of them. I'm not in favor of sitting idle when it comes around either.

I'll call it like I see it.

[thorn flicker]

Honestly, you need to stop putting so much energy into arguing with people online.

its not worth it.

[remote oyster]

I won't argue. I'll just correct. Turning a blind eye isn't healthy either. Unless a mod handles the behavior then someone needs to point it out to them.

[thorn flicker]

You know what you are doing, and they do too.

[wheat condor]

Bro actin like the main character 😭🙏

[dim tusk]

say that to the other guy I guess?

[remote oyster]

Of course, I already stated my intentions. I'm not hiding from it 😎

[thorn flicker]

Eon is the one causing the heat.

don't let people get you mad like that.

especially online.

[remote oyster]

Agreed.

[dim tusk]

Rage baiting at it's finest

[thorn flicker]

if you agree why are you feeding

[wheat condor]

Ye and also is for stupid reasons

[remote oyster]

I already said my intentions?

Or is there a misunderstanding on the difference between arguments and corrections?

[thorn flicker]

corrections can be a form of argumentation.

this right here is turning into argument lol

arguing about what an argument is

funny

[thorn flicker]

🤷‍♂️

[remote oyster]

Arguments is another form of fighting. One which I have no intention of doing. However, I will stand firm on my actions. Emotions do not factor in with my decision to hold someone accountable. I could care less about ones emotions on the matter. If you are wrong then you are wrong.

[chilly fractal]

You're welcome.

Math nerds are so cool dude

Idk i feel like they have hacks lol, i also feel that when i get my calculations right

[dim tusk]

Yes, Albert Einstein

[chilly fractal]

He was a great hacker

[dim tusk]

This guy is a certified, nerd and a chill guy

[chilly fractal]

And a certified hacker too, cmon give the guy credits.

He hacked the education system and was taught in home, unlike others.

He used to fail so many times

[slim forum]

Can I get the slot from itemStack?

Without using getComponent('inventory')

[deep arrow]

Probably not

[slim forum]

Thanks

[cold grove]

If its being used, its on main hand.. so Player#selectedSlotIndex

[wheat condor]

Is faster to do equippable component main hand

[cold grove]

She asked for slot

[chilly fractal]

They are asking for the index

[cold grove]

Not me

[chilly fractal]

Not the item.

[wheat condor]

Oh

[slim forum]

I used this with a let for save last slot, and work

My item not duplicated again

put what wrong

[dim tusk]

ModalFormData not Model

oh

my bad

tysm for your help i greatly appreciate it

[errant plover]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(data => {
let player = data.source
let title = "title of your gui"
if (data.itemStack.typeId == "minecraft:compass") system.run(() => main(player))
just wondering what this does

[cold grove]

Dont enough code, but just ASSUMING shows a form when used the item

[dim tusk]

when using the compass it will call a function in the next tick

[errant plover]

ok

what do i need to write for me to right click a sword so it give me an effect?

[dim tusk]

Custom item or vanilla?

[errant plover]

diamond sword

[dim tusk]

If custom use custom components if vanilla use before events of itemUse

[errant plover]

player.runCommandAsync why is the async there?

nvm

[granite cape]

https://pastebin.com/B10PbQ3t
clearlag use system.currentTick

[errant plover]

in world.sendMessage("") how do i make it send "given "PLAYERSNAME" strength 5 for 5 seconds?

[quick shoal]

world.sendMessage(`given ${player.name} strength 5 for 5 seconds`);

Or

world.sendMessage('given' + player.name + 'strength 5 for 5 seconds');

[dim tusk]

both works

Just add a space if you use +

They will look like this. If you don't add spaces after each string

giveCoddystrength 5 for 5 second```

[quick shoal]

Oh I forget

world.sendMessage('given ' + player.name + 'strength 5 for 5 seconds');

[errant plover]

i had already tried world.sendMessage(given ${player.name} strength 5 for 5 seconds); and it didnt work which is when i asked the question but i realised i used " instead of `

so i fixed it and alll better

[dim tusk]

that's why the ${block.location.x} earlier didn't work.

[quick shoal]

Yea because ${} need ``

[noble bolt]

i dont understand shit

what kind of naming scheme is that

[knotty plaza]

2/10 I can't even tell what it is supposed to do

[supple yoke]

oops i wrote this without an lsp, seems like i missed a ,

[knotty plaza]

Looks like what the compiler would make

[round bone]

I would deobfuscate this at first

[supple yoke]

also fyi, this is a snake clone

[celest abyss]

Is there anything to detect if a player has a certain scoreboard number?

[somber echo]

world.scoreboard.getObjective('objective')?.getScore(player);

[slim spear]

I cannot read that

and why is it using runCommand

also it's running it off of the first player in the world?

[supple yoke]

i challenged myself to make a snake clone with the fewest characters possible

and runcommand is shorter than setblockpermutation

actually

maybe not, I'll test it later

[gusty bramble]

Is it possible to stop containers from dropping their items when broken? (/gamerule dotilrdrops does not do this in case anyone suggests it)

[knotty plaza]

If you are using beta api you could cancel the block breaking event and remove the block from the script

[acoustic basin]

okey, so, im here and starting to work. i'll start working with the information u shared with me and will try to put it to work. also, as i wanted to show my intervals script, and here it is (i know its a COMPLETE mess😭😭😭😭)

(and sorry for ping)

[acoustic basin]

firstly, i'll turn functionality to functions and do this

[hushed ravine]

What's the impact in performance?

[acoustic basin]

guys i have a script, where im trying to make so my entity transformed into another one, for example, here

const entityList = [
    'minecraft:pig',
    'minecraft:hoglin',
    'minecraft:cow',
    'minecraft:frog',
    'minecraft:villager_v2',
    'minecraft:piglin',
    'minecraft:slime',
    'minecraft:allay'
]

const mutatedEntityList = [
    'minecraft:hoglin',
    'minecraft:zoglin',
    'minecraft:ravager',
    'v360:warped_frog',
    'minecraft:vindicator',
    'minecraft:zombie_pigman',
    'minecraft:magma_cube',
    'minecraft:vex'
]


function mutateEntity() {
    for (let i = 0; i < entityList.length; i++) {
    }
}

for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).getEntities().forEach((entity) => {
            if (entityList.includes(entity.typeId) && entity.hasTag('v360:warping_stage1')) {
            }
        })
    }```

 i have 2 lists of entities, and list of transformed entities. i want to make it so for example, first entity from `entityList` spawns the first entity from `mutatedEntityList`, or, for example, piglin, it's the sixth entity in the `entityList`, so it has to spawn sixth entity from `mutatedEntityList`, which is zombie pigman. currently im stuck with this, and i need help figuring out the rest

[dim tusk]

There's a faster way tho.

const transform = {
   'minecraft:creeper': 'minecraft:sheep',
}```

[acoustic basin]

but what's after that?

[dim tusk]

wait, imma make a simple script.

[dim tusk]

const transform = {
   'minecraft:creeper': 'minecraft:sheep',
   'minecraft:skeleton': 'minecraft:tnt'
};

for (const entity of world.getDimension().getEntities()) {

Sorry it took awhile, I'm eating my dinner rn

[acoustic basin]

no problem

sorry, replace includes with hasOwnProperty, I forgot includes only works on arrays

[dim tusk]

imagine he doesn't want to spawn the entity and you made a whole ask script for that.

[hot gust]

Havent had any issues on bds 10-11 players

[distant tulip]

i mean...

[hushed ravine]

What about client performance?

[acoustic basin]

it works!!

my entity transforms

thank u sooooo much!!

[dim tusk]

See he has a different function 😭 that's why I didn't bother making a whole script.

[hot gust]

Player base is mostly made of ps4 and mobiles with a few pc players and no one has complained

[hushed ravine]

I suppose those mobile devices weren't all high-end, right?

[hot gust]

No

[hushed ravine]

Alright

I'll test this then

Thank you!!

[distant tulip]

this was bothering me
so i remade the whole thing

[hushed ravine]

@hot gust what about the particles?

[dim tusk]

I just realized that you can just player.dimension.getEntities()

[acoustic basin]

i still appreciate it! i'll take this as an example for something else, for the future

i can learn from this

[distant tulip]

duh
lol

[hot gust]

What do you mean they spawn then die and repeat providing the player is within the set range of the world border

[hushed ravine]

Sorry. I meant that I don't have the particle file, and I'm not really experienced with particles myself (haven't created any particle)

[hot gust]

Oh i see yeah youd need a resource pack you could replace the custom one with one of the vanilla particles

[hushed ravine]

What particles do you recommend me to use?

[hot gust]

Im away at the moment but can dm you the pack later

[hot gust]

Any one of them would do just to test it

[hushed ravine]

Alright!!

Thanks

[warm drum]

anyone know why the .getComponent("minecraft:is_charged") doesnt work on creeper?

[amber granite]

[fervent topaz]

@granite badger how to keep the script blocks to persist through reloads of the world

[distant tulip]

pinging someone limits the amount of people who can help you from everyone online here to just one person

[fervent topaz]

yes he made the script blocks

so he would know

[dim tusk]

Expect he'll respond 7 hours later

[fervent topaz]

and thats fine

[granite badger]

Do you mean the data within the block? They are stored in dynamic properties

[fervent topaz]

i mean how can i make the blocks code persist through reloads

[granite badger]

You can't at the moment. I can think about adding a script initialize feature which runs the code at startup through the behavior pack if that's what you want

[fervent topaz]

ok thanks for the help jayly

[inland merlin]

does teleporting an entity 9999999 999999 99999999 to get rid of it forever cause a memory leak or add memory to the world?

should i be teleporting them to a location and adding a tag to despawn them based on a despawn component group in the json of the entity?

it hasn't seemed to cause issues before just trying to clean up some code and make it more efficent

im updating my leefy spawners addon

[jolly veldt]

Could you elaborate on what you're trying to do?

So far, teleporting an entity below bedrock seems more optimal

[valid ice]

.remove() best

[inland merlin]

wait we have .remove()?

lol

[valid ice]

Yar

[inland merlin]

no shot....

[valid ice]

Like .kill() but without death effect or loot

[inland merlin]

dang i've been outta the loop

[valid ice]

Entity just simply ceases to exist

[inland merlin]

[inland merlin]

lol my kid

oops

hope yall had fun

[jolly veldt]

It was a very meaningful conversation

[inland merlin]

sounds good haha

i had to clean up some melted carmel on a couch since someone sat on a milkyway and melted the entire kind size bar

then my kid 18 month old, decided to go full leefy and put headphones on as well and type like an artist

[jolly veldt]

How did that person not feel them sitting on it😭

[inland merlin]

my wife felt horrible lol, she had to put her pants/trousers in the laundry

lmao

[jolly veldt]

Ok this is getting off topic, i shall not elaborate further

[inland merlin]

sounds good. anyways, i've been updating my code for an addon i have.. its getting sorta laggy overtime, and i've figured out a bunch of places that have helped alot.

reducing any memory leaks as well

[inland merlin]

do you know if they fixed the summon entity facing direction issue?

they currenlty spawn in only at one direction after killing my entities

ill have to test i suppose

this is what im am reffering to... when killing they always spawn in facing one direction, and there was a issue in the past...

[jolly veldt]

This is something you'd see on a DanTDM vid back in 2016

(ignore the Netherite)

[inland merlin]

oh haha

[valid ice]

I think the best you’ll get is setRotation

[inland merlin]

awh okay

i am planning on adding more entities

but wanna make sure functionality in servers is not gonna cause lagg

which it doesn't

for the most part...

[keen laurel]

I'm trying to repeat the logic on spawners where if you right click a spawn egg onto it, it changes it to that type of spawner. I already have it so it reads which mob it is from the itemUseOn event... but how can I store the data on the block?

[inland merlin]

wait a sec...

for rotation

initial might be able to get inherited

seems newer or im just way outdated myself

[keen laurel]

you could just use /summon right

[inland merlin]

i just use database, and store based on location etc.... and use entities inside the block for extra spawning stuff..

maybe you can use itemDynamicProperties?

[keen laurel]

can't do that, i'm putting it inside a structure block to be saved

[inland merlin]

possibly, but i need it to be api otherwise it laggs using commands

due to cap

[inland merlin]

awh ok

thats not a bad idea

[keen laurel]

I was trying just event.block.setPermutation(server.BlockPermutation.resolve("block:block_name", {mob: mobType})) (with the correct name ofc) but I guess I don't understand how I'm suppsoed to allow this permutation to work?

[inland merlin]

hmmm interesting

i haven't really worked with permutations recently

[keen laurel]

maybe this is more of a blocks question then scripting

[inland merlin]

well, your talking about hard coded permutations right

[valid ice]

Permutations are definitely worth looking into

I use them for my spawners, no entities involved (besides the ones spawned, ofc)

[inland merlin]

Def nice to use permutations, I need to look into that more.

Less blocks to create smaller addon

I would assume

Easier to expand on

[valid ice]

I still have 1 block per spawner

Each is a separate block

But they all run off the same custom component & permutation names so it’s easy to expand upon

[keen laurel]

i realized I needed to add the states lmao

code was fine

max of 16 states (for one state) :/ unfortunate

[dim tusk]

16 values for 1 state and 32 states for a block

your block can't have more than 65k permutation and the world shouldn't have that many permutation too

[paper atlas]

Is it possible to make an entity atack in area applying knockback and damage that could be possible to block with the shields??

I need it for a boss but idk if thats even possible with scripts

help plz

for this kind of attacks

i was thinking in using tags

[errant plover]

what is .subscribe used for?

[quick shoal]

Callback Arg

for exp

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ source: player, itemStack }) => {}) 

[errant plover]

if you subscribe to an event it does it?

[quick shoal]

Uhm

event is don't exist, U can put any custom name after subscribe

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((abc) => {}) 

[errant plover]

where do you put which item for itemUse

[quick shoal]

If U use an original arg like this U must add {}

[quick shoal]

Like this

const { itemStack, player } = abc;

Or

const itemStack = abc.itemStack

Also U can directly use

if (abc.itemStack.typeId)

[errant plover]

whats the abc

[quick shoal]

Not specific U can custom it

[errant plover]

but like what do you put there

[quick shoal]

Wdym

[errant plover]

instead of abc

do you put an item name?

[quick shoal]

U can use any word

[errant plover]

an event?

[quick shoal]

All event callbacks can use any word

[valid ice]

Tells the code to start listening for when that event activates

The code listens for nothing when you first start, and you can tell it to listen or unlisten to events based on what you want it to do

[quick shoal]

The professionals explanation

[valid ice]

Fake it till ya make it

[errant plover]

ok

[errant plover]

so would this work

import { world, system } from "@minecraft/server"
console.warn(`index.js has loaded\nYour code has worked!!`)
world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(data => {
    let player = data.source
    if (data.itemStack.typeId == "minecraft:diamond_sword") system.run(() => main(player))
    
      function main() {
        player.runCommandAsync("/effect @s strength 10 255")
        world.sendMessage(`Gave ${player.nameTag} Strength 255 for 10 seconds`)
        player.sendMessage(`§l§7Im so cool`)
      }
    })

[quick shoal]

Yea

[errant plover]

i copied most of this btw

[valid ice]

idk, try it and see

[quick shoal]

U can just do like this

[gaunt salmon]

[errant plover]

what does that do

[errant plover]

do you know how to test out how much damage your doing

[dim tusk]

Uhh... Nvm

[errant plover]

?

[valid ice]

player not being initalized is because you don't have it as a parameter in the function you declared (main)

[errant plover]

in main()
i need to write let player = data.source

?

[valid ice]

Yes

And you do not need to do main(player) you can just do main()

[errant plover]

what does its not initalized mean?

[valid ice]

The variable is not defined

[errant plover]

oh

everything still works

[errant plover]

just wondering if you know how to summon a mob but it stays still?

[valid ice]

slowness 255

[errant plover]

oh good idea

[valid ice]

Or disable it's AI by editing the BP file

[errant plover]

would it work on the ender dragon

[valid ice]

nop

Only if it's touching the ground

[dim tusk]

slowness won't work on the ender dragon, edit it's vanilla file...

or you can tp it constantly 🤷

[errant plover]

good idea

[quick shoal]

I type error at the beginning , I forget and I directly use const { player.. instead of source

[dim tusk]

or you could just Entity.clearVelocity()

[errant plover]

Just type it at the top of my script?

[dim tusk]

It's not as simple as that

Read some documentation to know more

Do not jump directly to this

[errant plover]

is there a way i can add the entities name to this

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(data => {
  console.warn('You dealt: ' +  data.damage + `to a`)
})

[dim tusk]

entity who attacked or the entity who got damage?

[errant plover]

got damaged

[dim tusk]

data.hurtEntity.nameTag

[errant plover]

ty

[errant plover]

it didnt work

[dim tusk]

the hell you mean didn't work? You probably did it wrong

[errant plover]

prob

[dim tusk]

Lemme see it

[errant plover]

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(data => {
  console.warn('You dealt: ' +  data.damage + ` to a` + data.hurtEntity.nameTag)
})

[dim tusk]

that's correct.. wym by didn't work?

[errant plover]

it says you dealt 3878387 to a

[dim tusk]

the entity don't have a name then

[errant plover]

[Scripting][warning]-You dealt: 1.6743704204155438e+30 to a

[Scripting][warning]-You dealt: 1.6743704204155438e+30 to a

[dim tusk]

wym by name the actual naem of entity or the id?

[errant plover]

chicken and warden

[dim tusk]

i mean by id is minecraft:warden

[errant plover]

eithers fine

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(data => {
  console.warn('You dealt: ' +  data.damage + ` to a` + data.hurtEntity.typeId)
})```

[errant plover]

it worked thanks for your help

[lament tree]

Anyone knows how much does System run affects to performance?
And if theres a way to optimize it

[dim tusk]

run or runInterval doesn't affect the performance, what you are doing or how you using it does

[lament tree]

Alr
Thanks!

[cinder shadow]

Can we still not detect whether an itemStack has custom components?

[wary edge]

Correct.

[cinder shadow]

😔 guess I'll just give them all item tags

damn I'm really just reliving all of the problems I already had whenever I try to mess with something after taking a break

world.sendMessage(`hasTag:${eventData.itemStack.hasTag("grimy")}`)
world.sendMessage(`getTags:${JSON.stringify(eventData.itemStack.getTags())}`)```

funny times

and as I remember, you have to specify an identifier in the itemStack's tag for it to be recognizable with HasTag

such a weird quirk

[dim tusk]

I was about to say that lol...

been a while since I saw you here man...

[cinder shadow]

blame good games

[dim tusk]

so you're saying MINECRAFT IS BAD?

guess I need to get fancy

[cinder shadow]

damn, I can't even read the items name

[deep arrow]

Oh thats fine i plan on chunking the data but thats means i can raise my chunk sizes

[bright dove]

How do you apply knockback just enough so that you get a 'pull upward' effect ?

[stark kestrel]

is this error related to script api or json ui

[bright dove]

Json UI

[stark kestrel]

oof

ty

[shell sigil]

Anyone Master in javaScript, css and json.UI here I have a question if you gonna translate the
{
"binding_type": "view",
"source_property_name": "((#title_text - 'Custom Form') = #title_text)",
"target_property_name": "#visible"

    }

In the JavaScript code Do you think it's like if else statement

[dim tusk]

that's a c++ type thing I think?

[slow walrus]

it would sort of be like this (if it was a class or something)

this.visible = !this.title_text.includes('Custom Form')

actually

[shell sigil]

Rate my code guys I make it more readble and understandable

My addon name is better level mechanic

I think I'm the only one here using only mobile Android phone for coding and making add-on

[dim tusk]

Nu uh... Me too

[shell sigil]

How's my code

[stark kestrel]

I did too, few months ago

[dim tusk]

I mean does it work?

[shell sigil]

Yes.

[dim tusk]

Then it's okay... If it works then it works

And format it pls... My demon side is waking up

Your code can be simplified

[shell sigil]

How

I mean yea

I making it more least code

[dim tusk]

Remove redundancy...

some variables yeah...

[shell sigil]

I see this in hive server where a chest Open without clicking it instead just holding a item how is that happen anyone have the file code

[shut citrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmKgrZWuE6Q

minecraft mobs in future

[remote oyster]

One thing to keep in mind, though not necessarily a requirement, is the potential impact of destructuring event objects. If you intend to modify the properties or structure of the original object directly, destructuring can be problematic. This is because the newly created variables are separate from the original object and cannot be used to make changes to it.

[wheat condor]

how do i check if a player has some ui opened?

like crafting table or chest?

[dim tusk]

No accurate way I guess? You can detect after events of interaction but the chess you need to check more since the chest can be interacted without actually being opened... For example there's a block blocking the top of the chest.

[wheat condor]

inventory?

[dim tusk]

I don't think so....

[crude bridge]

hi

ive made this script that flag u when u have speed but when i go -x, -z the script ignore me how can i fix?

Minecraft.system.runInterval(() => {
    [...world.getPlayers()].forEach(player => {
        const playerVelocity = player.getVelocity();
        console.warn(playerVelocity.x)

        if(playerVelocity.x < -0.390 || playerVelocity.z < -0.390 && !player.isJumping) {
            world.sendMessage('§4velocity flag' + playerVelocity.x)
        }
    })
}, );

[warm mason]

if(Math.abs(playerVelocity.x) != 0 || Math.abs(playerVelocity.z) != 0 && !player.isJumping) {
  world.sendMessage('§4velocity flag' + playerVelocity.x)
}

[crude bridge]

thx

[crude bridge]

wait how this work and mine not?

[warm mason]

You are comparing the velocity vector, not the velocity. The vector can be negative, so you need to use Math.abs() to find out the speed

[crude bridge]

oh okay

What are u doin? If you are doing const lore = item.getLore() then i am here to break to you, it return an ARRAY of STRINGS not a STRING.
The correct way to do this (if you want the first element in that lore [first line]) then do: const lore = item?.getLore()[0];, btw the added ? Is to make sure item is not undefined when accessing so it doesn't throw an error :)

JSON.stringify()?

it's an array not a normal string

Also hey coddy

I finally finished the indexedDB and the image encoding and decoding and the navbar and everything!

[dim tusk]

that's nice.

[chilly fractal]

By encoding i meant turning it into a base64 version after the user cozyly decides what part of their image they want an avatar then i fetch the image, centerize it, keep only what they see and nothing less and nothing more, compress it into jpeg with lost .1 of it's original quality becuz base64 versions of images are roughly 30% larger then the original image (not 30, more like 33.73083, ofc depends) and then sends the encoded version to backend!

Basically the backend part is the most easiest part of the website, front end is so fking complex and just making everything user friendly and secure and great and legal is so hard!

[dim tusk]

How about the quality of the image?

[chilly fractal]

Huh?

Idk.

[quick vapor]

i aint been coding for like the past like year, where can i find newest manifest and everything i need to hop back on, tryna start from scratch

[chilly fractal]

It's handled by the browser. You can't expect me to actually fking edit the quality manually frfr
