Script API General

[misty dagger]

I need WASD specifically because the different directions have non-movement related functions.

If necessary, the player could be nearby (but not exactly) where the mount is, and then the camera could maybe be projected there (this to prevent constantly teleporting the player/mount, which disrupts velocity and thus prevents WASD detection).

Are there ways to detect the velocity of a player or mount if the mount is teleported every tick?

[distant tulip]

keepVelocity?

[misty dagger]

I tried that, but it didn't seem to do anything.

Even on my previous project, keepVelocity never really worked.

[distant tulip]

i meant on mount
not the player

[misty dagger]

Yeah, the mount is being teleported with keepVelocity set to true.

[distant tulip]

or you can just get velocity before tp

[misty dagger]

Lemme see if that would work.

Nope. The velocity is still locked to 0, even if you get it before the teleport.

[distant tulip]

how are you teleporting the mount
what condition

[misty dagger]

The mount obeys a physics simulation, and must teleport every tick.

Though the entity that is doing the physics simulation and the entity that the player is actually riding do not necessarily have to be the same entity.

[distant tulip]

maybe do

if(vel.x != 0 || vel.y != 0 || vel.z != 0){
  //tp
}

if that won't cause problems for u

[misty dagger]

The entity will be moving constantly.

[distant tulip]

for a tick

[misty dagger]

Lemme try teleporting it every other tick.

[wheat condor]

I think ill just re texture useless blocks

[misty dagger]

Teleporting the mount every other tick permits gathering velocity data every other tick also.

[dim tusk]

Umm, yeah detecting velocity or player while reading is kinda weird than just not riding.

[misty dagger]

Seems so. Unfortunately it is necessary that the player is riding a mount here.

[dim tusk]

and you can't detect the velocity of the entity riding since it has the same results

[misty dagger]

The every other tick approach seems like it will work though, at least for my purposes.

I see many new players, nice

[neat hound]

Quick JS question...
If I have something like this js export const vanillaItems = Object.values(MinecraftItemTypes); export const vanillaBlocks = Object.values(MinecraftBlockTypes).filter(b => vanillaItems.includes(b)); export const woodTypes = vanillaBlocks .filter(block => block.endsWith('_planks')) .map(s => s.replace('_planks', '')); does it evaluate all of that each time I access woodTypes or is it set once? Trying to see if I should make a one and done class and import that so extra work is not done...

[woven loom]

Which part you are referring to?

[neat hound]

the last const.. woodtypes. Does it run the filters/maps and does that cascade back up the chain?

does it do it each time

[woven loom]

No, I don't think so, unless the script re-runs every time qhile being imported

[neat hound]

So imports, imports the final version

[woven loom]

test it with Date.now() 🙂

It will have different times if it re-runs every time; else will be static.

How to detect when a player steps on a specific block

[glacial widget]

can someone tell me what am doing wrong

system.runInterval(() => {
  const platform = PlatformType

    switch (platform) {
        case platform.Console:
            console.warn("Running on a Console.");
            break;
        case platform.Desktop:
            console.warn("Running on a PC.");
            break;
        case platform.Mobile:
            console.warn("Running on a Mobile.");
            break;
    }
}, 20);

[round bone]

you should loop through players

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

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        switch (player.clientSystemInfo.platformType) {
         case PlatformType.Console:
              break;
       };
    };
});

[remote oyster]

I would like to add that if PlatformType is defined somewhere else as player.clientSystemInfo.platformType then you shouldn't be checking each switch case for platform.Mobile, platform.Desktop, or platform.Console since player.clientSystemInfo.platformType will return the type itself and those properties don't even exist. Therefore checking for "Console", "Desktop", and "Mobile" would be the appropriate way. I can only speculate because your segment of code appears incomplete so I'm unsure what other bits you have @glacial widget.

[true isle]

is their any way to compile identifiers in a single file?

[obtuse cypress]

what exactly is read only mode and how its useful?

[valid ice]

It prevents the world from being changed at all while it’s active. Read-only mode is active when a before event is ran

[distant tulip]

compile identifiers? wdym?

[true isle]

nvm i got it

Guys how I can get the location of structure example a village that near in my location using script

[rotund sequoia]

Hello one question, you can deny damage via script?

[rotund sequoia]

Maybe you can use commands? /locate but via script and after that look for the callback, i don't know if it's possible but there's an idea

[valid ice]

Can’t really

Damage sensors still the best option

[rotund sequoia]

thnks

[knotty plaza]

function repairItem(player) {
  const equip = player.getComponent('equippable');
  const item = equip.getEquipment('Mainhand');

  const durability = item.getComponent('durability');
  if (durability) durability.damage = 0;

  equip.setEquipment('Mainhand', item);
}

[unique acorn]

what is messageRecieve after event supposed to be?

[unique acorn]

its item.typeId not item.id

[slim spear]

chat message i assume?

[unique acorn]

in the docs it says This event is an internal implementation detail, and is otherwise not currently functional.

[distant tulip]

that most be new
didn't see it last time i checked

[verbal slate]

Guys, do you know how to track damage received from a player?

[warm mason]

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(data => {
  let entity = data.hurtEntity
  let damage = data.damage
  if (data.damageSource.damagingEntity?.typeId == 'minecraft:player') {
    // code
  }
})

[verbal slate]

Thanks a lot

[wheat condor]

is it better to do a runinterval with 20 ticks that has all the work on it
or
is it better to have 1 runinterval with 10 ticks but with half the work alternated between cycles?

let cycle = false
system.runInterval(() => world.getPlayers().forEach(player => {
    const inv = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
    const size = Math.floor(inv.size / 2)
    for (let slot = cycle ? 0 : size; slot < cycle ? size : inv.size; slot++) {
        // other long code
    }
    cycle = !cycle
}), 10);

// or

system.runInterval(() => world.getPlayers().forEach(player => {
    const inv = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
    const size = Math.floor(inv.size / 2)
    for (let slot = 0; slot < inv.size; slot++) {
        // other long code
    }
    cycle = !cycle
}), 20);

whats more performance friendly

[warm mason]

let playerIndex = 0
system.runInterval(() => {
  let player = world.getAllPlayers()[playerIndex]
  if (player == undefined) {
    playerIndex = 0
  } else {
    //code
  }
})

[wheat condor]

thank you i didnt think about this method

[acoustic basin]

guys, im having this last piece of script i pretty much need to optimize, can i get some help pls? this is the one that causes slowdowns as i found out, i need to do something with it, but i cant find any alternatives and afraid i lack some knowledge to figure it all out by myself

these r the events that r running every tick, because i dont know about any other aletrnatives for these events to be more optimized or work in a different way except for running every tick

[warm mason]

I think if you tell me what you want, I can write another script for you

[acoustic basin]

i think everything that i want is written in that script, but alr there r a few events, rn, im getting an idea for geyser erupting event, to make it so the interval wasnt running all the time for entities, checking if the block under them is the erupting geyser, but call this interval once the entity steps on the erupting geyser, and when entity steps off the erupting geyser, clear the interval

but that's an idea only for geyser, then there r others

[warm mason]

I don't understand what's in your code. Tell me what you want to do

[acoustic basin]

all other events r:

• entity gets damaged when there's lit copper campfire under it
• entity gets damaged and set on fire for 8 seconds when it is in copper fire
• if a digging woodlouse detects bedrock under itself, it runs event on itself
• player gets stunt when it is in mobtrap, can move again when not in a mobtrap anymore (if mobtrap is broken), and gets damaged when in the mobtrap
• player gets health boost when wearing a full emerald armor set
• when player is wearing strider boots and steps on lava, player fill lava and flowing lava in 2x1x2 radius under itself with fragile magma block
• the fog script which adds the fog to the player when it is in the end and it is above certain block, and fog gets removed when player is not above certain blocks or isnt in the end anymore
• item lore getting added to the items in player's inventory

i'll deal with geyser script myself since ive got an idea that could really work

i dont really want someone to write the whole script for me, its my duty, and i just dont want to put it on someone else since its my problem, but on the other side i need help

[remote oyster]

Some of the stuff can be replaced with native methods, but given what you are aiming for, I would recommend using runJob() versus runInterval() and yielding after each player in the for loop.

[warm mason]

I can suggest this:

• Use custom components for campfire, run interval when an entity steps on a campfire and do whatever you want, delete interval if the entity is no longer above the campfire
• You can run interval for all entities, to search for bedrock. Or just use sensor in json entity.
• Use custom components for traps
• To detect armor on a player, use interval with a delay (or look at the code I wrote above to optimize the interval)

[acoustic basin]

for traps and copper fire, not really bcs it require the block to have a small collision, but this mobtrap is like a plant, it doesnt have any collision, so onStepOn wouldn't work, and, running the intervals once triggered and then deleting them, im starting to understand it and experimenting on it rn with geyser, and then will move it to other blocks like campfire if the plan works

[acoustic basin]

alr, so, everything is working, but i'm getting this error
17:35:35[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Native type conversion failed. Function argument [0] expected type: class Scripting::Closure<void __cdecl(void)> at <anonymous> (geyser.js:36)
and this is what i have

                        system.run(launchingInterval)
                    }```

that system.run() is the 36th line

i dont understand y im getting this error

[simple zodiac]

system.run wants a function as an input. Make sure that is the case

[acoustic basin]

i have a const for launchingInterval system.runInterval, and that's how im triggering it

[simple zodiac]

const launchingInterval = system.runInterval(() => ...)
does not return a function but rather a number. You can not pass that to system.run

[acoustic basin]

oh, so how do i make it like u said as a case?

[simple zodiac]

you don't need to do it at all

I don't even know what you are trying to do

but

runInterval already schedules the operations into ticks

[acoustic basin]

yes actually

[acoustic basin]

i just need to run this interval first, and then remove it

[distant tulip]

that's how im triggering
you don't need to trigger it, it run automatically
not like functions

[simple zodiac]

oh of you want to clear the interval you have to use system.clearRun(runId (in your case launchingInterval ) )

[distant tulip]

the question is why do you need an interval to run a code once

[acoustic basin]

no no no, look, i have a geyser, and when it erupts, an interval needs to be triggered, that will make entities above the geyser get launched every tick, and when the geyser stops erupting, to not cause lag from this interval that runs every tick, i want the interval to stop, and then get triggered again when geyser erupts again

can i send the whole code? it's just quite big..

[distant tulip]

you can send the file
but why?

[acoustic basin]

bcs i need some help with it and if i'll try to explaine what im trying to do i'll probably confuse u

so here, i have a onRandomTick event, and so on random tick geyser erupts, and while its erupting it needs to constantly lauch entities above it up a lil bit, and when it stops errupting, i want to clear the system.runInterval to it didnt lag out the game

[thorn flicker]

you should probably just make this an entity and use animations for the visual stuff..

[distant tulip]

why not use on step on event

[acoustic basin]

bcs if the entity is already standing on the block and the geyser erupts, the code won't work, entity will have to walk away and then step on the block

[thorn flicker]

it wont constantly affect the entity, its only when they first move on the block.

[acoustic basin]

basically, all i need to do, is trigger system.runInetrval and then clear it, so it wasnt ticking all the time and would work only on needed occasion, so it didnt lag the game

[distant tulip]

store the run id in a dp:

const launchingInterval = system.runInterval(() => {...}
world.setDynamicProperty(JSON.stringify(block.location), launchingInterval)

to clear it, use:

const launchingInterval = world.getDynamicProperty(JSON.stringify(block.location))
system.cleratRun(launchingInterval)

[acoustic basin]

i kinda get it

i haven't learnt about dynamic properties yet, but im understanding how this works

it works🥹

i checked if the interval is still running but testing for other block tag under entity, and it isnt running anymore, its getting cleared

[warm mason]

Why use DP?

It would be better to use WeakMap

[distant tulip]

the variable is in a different scope

you can use maps, but same deal

[warm mason]

Dynamic properties can clog files over time. This is not very critical, but why?

[distant tulip]

he is clearing it...
you can also clear it when the block is broken
maps are a good idea, but not persistence between world restarts

i mean, you can suggest a better option if you have any

[warm mason]

system.runInterval is cleared after a restart and DP may remain and WeakMap will be cleared, so there are no disadvantages in it

[distant tulip]

yeah, that is true

It said 99998 before tho

There are already 400,000 messages here..

what's the minimum size of a block collision block (in height) there has to be for onStepOn to work? i have a 16x2x16 block collision, but the onStepOn event isn't being triggered

[wary edge]

y needs to be 4.

[simple zodiac]

Oh

well

the way we did it in our JAM submission was that we made it a full block, but visually slightly larger for the pressure plate to make mines

one question can you cancel the event from taking out stuff like from chests or shulker boxes?

Is there a resource for connecting blocks?

[green bison]

is it possible to make blocks breakable in adventure?

[unique dragon]

no

the only way that I think you can do is, detect which block the player is watching, and if it's that block, change the gamemode to survival, unless to adventure again

[warm mason]

You can also put “allow” under this block or give the player a pickaxe that breaks this block

[green bison]

yeah was gonna do that originally, wanted a cleaner alternative but this works

is there a way to give a player op using scripts ?

If anyone knows pls ping me

[warm mason]

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

[runic crypt]

so it is possible right ?

[warm mason]

if I sent you a link to the documentation, then it's obvious that it's possible

[sage portal]

No. Operator status is apparently too powerful to risk giving it away with script

It makes some sense, in case some addon developers made some backdoor to operator status in order to grief servers.

[runic crypt]

hm alright

[runic crypt]

so this wont work ?

will it just return a true/false value that player is op or not ?

[sage portal]

Oh that's a beta feature

Well, pre-release

I didn't know they were working on that, I stick to stable

[sage portal]

In that case, it should work if you're using beta script, but do be mindful that there's always the risk of Mojang changing it or removing it.

[runic crypt]

alright 🫡

hey guys, so i figured out a way to remove another event from my constant running system.runInterval, for mobtrap, and got everything to work perfectly, thank u Minato, i figured out how to use dynamic proprties pretty much! they only problem i have is, and will also happen to campfire, is that onStepOn isnt triggered when i step on it, bcs the block is like, on ground, like, i step on a plant, i step up, and for some reason, when stepping up, the evet isn't triggering, so i have to step on this mobtrap from another mobtrap, or jump on it... any solutions?

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

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(initEvent => {
    initEvent.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('v360:mobtrap', {

[distant tulip]

how tall is the block collision box

[acoustic basin]

in height 4 pixels

[distant tulip]

onStepOn should work with that

btw, you are overriding other blocks Interval here
entity.setDynamicProperty('v360:mobtrap', checkingInterval)

[acoustic basin]

its trying to trigger, i c the screen moving for a split sec, but its not triggering

[acoustic basin]

y?

the block id isnt v360:mobtrap, its v360:crimson_mobtrap, i just also have warped mobtrap and using one custom component for both blocks since they're pretty much the same

[distant tulip]

that most be a bug
try using 5

[distant tulip]

all blocks use the same

[acoustic basin]

oh

i'll c how all of these will work together, since im not using all block intervals at the same time lol

[acoustic basin]

nope, also not triggering

[distant tulip]

6

[acoustic basin]

nope

i cant go any higher, it would look strange for this block

but just for test i'll try 8, like a full sized slab

[distant tulip]

try a full block
just for testing

[acoustic basin]

i'll have to jump on mobtrap and ofc it will work then

[acoustic basin]

and also no, not working

[distant tulip]

weird

[acoustic basin]

i really dont want to make a constant system.runInetrval not that will be checking for mobtrap under player all the time😭

[distant tulip]

type console.warn("triggered") in the start of onStepOn and see if that trigger or not

[acoustic basin]

one sec

its sending the message!!

but i set the collision height back to 4

[distant tulip]

most be your conditions

[acoustic basin]

well these r my conditions and what's being triggered

            if (entity?.typeId === 'minecraft:player') {
                if (!entity.hasTag('v360:mobtrap')) {
                    console.warn('trigy')
                    entity.addTag('v360:mobtrap')
                    entity.setDynamicProperty('v360:mobtrap', checkingInterval)
                    if (entity.getGameMode() !== 'spectator') {
                        entity.inputPermissions.movementEnabled = false
                    }
                }
            }```

[distant tulip]

uh
why are you using
!entity?.dimension.getBlock({ x: entity.location.x, y: entity.location.y - 0.2, z: entity.location.z })?.typeId.includes('mobtrap')

[acoustic basin]

to check if there's no mobtrap under the player...

actually that could be the problem

[distant tulip]

the event only trigger for blocks that have that custom component

so no need for it

[distant tulip]

it is

[acoustic basin]

no, like, if the player breaks the mobtrap, player needs to check if he broke the mobtrap

onStepOff won't work here, player won't still be able to move

or for example if i even do onPlayerDestroy, what if water breaks the mobtrap since i have liquid detection in this block, and there's no such custom component as onLiquidTouch

[acoustic basin]

so i removed, and the event is triggered, i get stunned and the interval strats running, im getting damaged. but not if i break the mobtrap im still stnnued, the interval isnt stopping, and im getting damaged

so i just need to somehow check for the block under the player while player is in trap, of the block is not mobtrap, than give the player back movement input permission and remove the tag, if which player has, player gets damaged with the interval

[distant tulip]

the block is not always under the player

[acoustic basin]

and that's also the case

what if i do if (!block.isValid()) in the interval, for checking the block, than remove interval and do all other stuff?

[distant tulip]

no check if it is air
block is always valid unless unloaded

block.typeId == "minecraft:air"

[acoustic basin]

block.isAir also works

and it works

y didnt i think of that

now perfect

thank u again Minato, my savior!!

https://tenor.com/view/chao-happy-chao-sonic-happy-dance-dancing-gif-25729360

actually im gonna so !block.hasTag('v360:mobtrap') bcs i just tested breaking the block with water, and when the block is broken and im flowing in water, im still getting damaged, the interval isnt getting canceled until the block air

[distant tulip]

just check for the block id
nvm, if you have multiple blocks,the tag is a good way of doing it

[quick shoal]

Guys how I let a NPC entity walk forward 100 blocks with api

Can gametest do this? BC Json is also difficult to implement

[carmine yarrow]

You can gradually TP it, except if they added AI goals in a recent™️ update

[dim tusk]

why tp if applyImpulse exist?

Oof, I've been gone for 2 days?

[quick shoal]

Can U give me an example of impulse to forward ?

[dim tusk]

impulse where the entity is actually looking?

[quick shoal]

I think yes

Just impulse to forward

Maybe viewDirection

[dim tusk]

yeah
-# very helpful information

[quick shoal]

Bc someone is requested help to me

He is doing a NPC entity then he wants it to walk forward 100 blocks maybe via API or json

But Json is hard to do it

[vital halo]

silly question, how do you make an item spawn in the player's inventory when they first load an addon? tryna figure out the book thing that marketplace projects do

[quick shoal]

Use itemStack

Did U alr have code rn?

[vital halo]

i'm set up with scripting yeah

i can figure out getting the item in their inventory. i'm stuck on detecting first-time loading into the world

[quick shoal]

player.getComponent('inventory').container.setItem(4, new ItemStack('minecraft:compass', 1));

Like this

[vital halo]

i had forgotten to save a link to it sadly, but i know there's a way to save JS variables to players/worlds

[quick shoal]

Put it on top of the script or also can put in world initialize event

[vital halo]

this is super helpful though! thank you!

[quick shoal]

U are welcome😙
it's just a simple example

@vital halo if U want to set the item lock

let menu = new ItemStack('minecraft:compass', 1);
    menu.lockMode = 'slot';
    player.getComponent('inventory').container.setItem(4, menu);

[vital halo]

oh sick

i didn't even know there was an item lock

[quick shoal]

It appears in vanilla command

U can get it from /give or /replaceitem command

[dim tusk]

Try multiplying view direction by distance

[quick shoal]

How

[dim tusk]

view.x * <value>```

[distant tulip]

function applyImpulseInViewDirection(entity, multiplier) {
    const viewDirection = entity.getViewDirection();
    const scaledImpulse = {
        x: viewDirection.x * multiplier,
        y: viewDirection.y * multiplier,
        z: viewDirection.z * multiplier,
    };
    entity.applyImpulse(scaledImpulse);
}

[distant tulip]

that won't work if you did that
you need the player for that
use spawn or join event

[stark kestrel]

how would u get dynamic properties of armors in armor slots like head?

[wary edge]

Get Equippable component -> Read the item in the slot.

[stark kestrel]

thanks

[stark kestrel]

can i ask something else too?

[stark kestrel]

if i was making a custom enchant, lets name it xyz for now, it technically decreases damage from axes, lets take iron axe for now, should i use health component and add the hp back? or is there another way

[wary edge]

Yes that can work, however, it will "fail" if the Iron Axe damage kills the entity before you can add the health back.

[stark kestrel]

hmm, who cares, no one will find hehehehe

[valid ice]

Can also use damage sensors and rebuild the damage system from the ground up

[stark kestrel]

.., im lazy 😭

• i suck at scripting, still wanna do stuff

[vital halo]

Is there a way to detect if a given block (i.e. onRandomTick) is the topmost block?

I mean, I imagine there is one, I can already envision it, but it's not a very optimized solution

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.16.0/classes/Dimension.html#getTopmostBlock

[wary edge]

Is there a "cause" for EntityRemove?

[warm mason]

no

[sage sparrow]

hi there, is the getViewDirection the rotation of the body or the rotation of the head?

[wary edge]

Head.

[true isle]

are we able to get the time of day in stable?

[warm mason]

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

[true isle]

any kind of example to use this?

[warm mason]

world.getTimeOfDay()

[true isle]

how would i use this to get a time of day between sunset and sunrise to set a block or load structure?

[deep yew]

use /time query daytime to find the numbers between sunset and sunrise and use world.structureManager if it fits your needs.

if (world.getTimeOfDay() > 16000) { ... }

`

So I am trying to make a skyblock server, and want to use structures to save/load plots in preset locations. Is it efficient to use structures/structureManager, or would that take up too much storage or memory? I am not really sure how much storage they take up and if it would be an issue.

[warm mason]

Structures seem to take up the same amount of space as blocks in the world, so it's unlikely to take up a lot of memory

[deep yew]

Yeah it sounded dumb but was just trying to make sure.

Not really any other way if I wanted to, anyway

[true isle]

const night_time = world.getTimeOfDay() > 12000 && world.getTimeOfDay() < 24000;
i got this to work with on interact but not on randomtick idk why theyre basicly the same script

[wary edge]

What is your code?

[true isle]

#debug-playground message

shows no errors and the rest of the script works besides that section that uses nighttime for randomtick

lol

[inland merlin]

If your wanting to run a command, you can do it if the player is defined like

player.runCommand('')

Otherwise the world can run it,

world.getDimension('overworld').runCommand('')

[celest abyss]

ok i'll try it

Well it works but the /Tag @r add doesn't work

[inland merlin]

Don't add the / remove that

Just tag @r add tnt

[bright dove]

how do you get the coordinate of a player

get the number of coordinate of the player in a dimension ?

hello ?

[knotty plaza]

player.location

[bright dove]

example ?

[knotty plaza]

Wdym

Thats literally it

Just call the location property

[bright dove]

o

[bright dove]

export class MoonCoordinate {
    static #locationMap = new Map(player.location);

so its...this ?

[knotty plaza]

Wait, what are you trying to do?

[bright dove]

well i get the player location minus it by something something

i am trying to basically get the location of a player on a "planet" which are regions of the end

[knotty plaza]

So if your real coordinate is 1000 20 1000, then your "moon" coordinates are different, like 100 20 100?

[bright dove]

Yup

get the real coordinate, minus by 50k or smth

[knotty plaza]

function getMoonCoordinate(player) {
  const offset = { x: -50000, y: 0, z: -50000 };
  const { x, y, z } = player.location;

  return { x: x + offset.x, y: y + offset.y, z: z + offset.z }
}

[tidal wasp]

damn i almost got a script working the 1st try

[balmy mason]

This is greatly simplified by using a vector math library, like the one I posted in #1325881561656197229. An example of that would be:

function getMoonLocation(player) {
     return Vec3.add(player.location, Vec3.from(-50000, 0, -50000));
}

[green bison]

system.runInterval((data => {
    const player = data.source;
    const inv = player.getComponent('minecraft:inventory').container;

    world.getAllPlayers().forEach(player => {
        for (let i = 0; i < inv.size; i++) {
            const item = inv.getItem(i);
            if (item.typeId === 'minecraft:dirt') {
                player.sendMessage("Dirt detected");
            }
        }
    });
})); ```

is this how you loop all players and detect an item in inv?

[stark kestrel]

Is it possible to set boundaries that people can't go beyond using script API?

Without performance drops

[knotty plaza]

runInterval doesn't have any callback parameters, so data.source is invalid

Move the const inv = ... to inside the forEach method and delete const player = data.source

[green bison]

Thanks man, is there a better practice to run a loop through someone's inv or is this fine?

[knotty plaza]

I'm not sure if this would be better, but you could just listen to the scriptevent command and run a mcfunction every tick

execute as @a[hasitem={}] at @s run scriptevent prefix:something

Just put your item info in the selector

[green bison]

Yeah true, I might give it a try thank you

[bright dove]

thanks you ! do i need to give credits ?

[bright dove]

can you give me this vector library ?

[thorn flicker]

just click the link.

[bright dove]

mhm

[meager cargo]

Can anyone check if this is correct syntax?

    if (entity.typeId !== "testing:npc" || player.scoreboardIdentity?.getObjective("npc") === '0' || player.typeId !== "minecraft:player") return; {
        player.runCommand("tp @s -9 -31 360")
    }

[warm mason]

no

[warm mason]

if (entity?.typeId != "testing:npc" || !world.scoreboard.getObjective('npc')?.getScore(player) || player.typeId != 'minecraft:player') return
player.teleport({ x: -9, y: -31, z: 360 })

[lone thistle]

Are we able to obtain tipped arrows via scripting yet?

[thorn flicker]

no

[meager cargo]

If there is .getScore(player) it will check player score for now - can I somehow check if it's equal to 0?

[thorn flicker]

just do != because of the return

[warm mason]

"!" before checking, this is a logical negation, in JS the values ​​0, undefined, null, when converted to a logical value, turn into false, that is, if the score is 0 or does not exist, the function will end

[warm mason]

If the player doesn't have a score then this won't work

[thorn flicker]

so give them the score if the score doesnt exist and then check for it.

[lone thistle]

Use a function to make your life easier (assuming you're gonna be fetching more scores in the future)

/**
 * Gets the score of an entity for a specific objective
 * @param {Entity|string} entity - The entity or player name to get the score for
 * @param {string} objective - The name of the scoreboard objective
 * @returns {number} The score value, or 0 if not found
 */
export function getScore(entity, objective) {
    const obj = world.scoreboard.getObjective(objective);
    try {
        return obj.hasParticipant(entity) ? obj.getScore(entity) : 0;
    } catch (e) {
        system.run(() => {
            obj.setScore(entity, 0);
        })
    }
}

You can use it like this

const score = getScore(player, "npc")

if (score == 0) {
// your function
}

[warm mason]

you can just put "!"

[thorn flicker]

okay.

[meager cargo]

Thanks!

[balmy mason]

All the information you should need about using is included in the post I linked. Is there anything specific I didn't mention there?

[meager cargo]

I have question, is there any possibility to increase radius of tickingarea by scripts? Or is there a script which can be constantly running detecting player location and adding and removing new tickingarea? So all commands will run without issues?

[thorn flicker]

you cannot increase it with scripts and there's no native methods to set ticking areas in the script api.

[meager cargo]

Ehh, that's a pity, thank you!

[thorn flicker]

you can run the ticking area command

[dim tusk]

then do a lot of math since we can only have 10 ticking areas saved iirc... So that it doesn't waste another ticking area if it's close to the other ticking area that is saved already .

[meager cargo]

I've done it like this:

const LOOP_INTERVAL = 20;

system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getAllPlayers();
    for (const player of players) {
        player.runCommandAsync("tickingarea add circle ~ ~ ~ 4 loopedArea true");
    }
    system.runTimeout(() => {
        for (const player of players) {
            player.runCommandAsync("tickingarea remove loopedArea");
        }
    }, 10);
}, LOOP_INTERVAL);

[dim tusk]

why make a variable to store how many intervals? Can't you just directly do it.

[thorn flicker]

preference?

[dim tusk]

If you say so... Tho it's kinda annoying for me lol

[quick shoal]

Does it cause lag

[meager cargo]

I don't check with all my scripts, but I think it doesn't

Cuz it's not every tick

[acoustic basin]

hey guys! im back =P
after a lot of work, this is everything left in my "beloved" system.runInterval, but i think i can clear this up even more for even more performance improvements... does anybody has any idea for these 4 events left? they r when player walks into copper fire, player wears emerald armor he gets health boost, my fog in the end biomes (depending on block under the player) script, and entity getting damage if has the enderjelly tag and has more than 1 health

[round bone]

it's really unoptimised tbh

you have n*m iterations

try just iterating through every dimension

[acoustic basin]

n*m?

[round bone]

2 nested for loops

[sharp elbow]

For every N players, it iterates over M entities

[dim tusk]

let block = player.dimension.getBlock(player.location)?.below();
block = block.below()```

This part confuses me because it kinda doesn't make any sense

[sharp elbow]

So if you have one player and 150 entities, the loop is executed 150 times. Each added player is another 150 loop executions; it grows quickly

[round bone]

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

/**
 * @type {readonly Dimension[]}
 */
const DIMENSIONS = [
    world.getDimension("overworld"),
    world.getDimension("nether"),
    world.getDimension("the_end")
];

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const dimension of DIMENSIONS) {
        const entities = dimension.getEntities();
        for (const entity of entities) {

        };
    };
}, 2);

[acoustic basin]

its for testing if the player steped on the end soil or lloumelium and got the fog, but if he flies up without this thing, player would lose the fog bcs the block under the player is not air, i got help on this actually

[round bone]

it's already a bit better approach

[acoustic basin]

i c...

[dim tusk]

That's not what I mean... So block is a let right? if you're assigning the block, where did you get the block to assign?

You're just reassigning to itself.

let block = block.below()```

[sharp elbow]

You don't need to redeclare the variable. It is declared just above.

let block = player.dimension.getBlock(player.location)?.below();
while (block?.isAir) {
  block = block?.below();
}

[dim tusk]

also the block already has ?.below() why assign another .below()??

[sharp elbow]

The idea is the location of block will move downward until it hits a non-air block.

[dim tusk]

Hmmm...

[acoustic basin]

😵‍💫

alr, i got everything

i understood

gonna put it to practice now

[fallow rivet]

Hello

Is it possible to save data for an item?

İtem.setDynamicProperty("id", 1);

Like this

[distant tulip]

unstackable items only

[woven loom]

fast maze gen, very happy with this one 😄 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/380798602265493505/1326610546077728808/20250108_231616_es_edited.mp4?ex=67800dd9&is=677ebc59&hm=8d83c677f5fe0bcb5a686eca000e5e5e6ad5050c5313242791c2d2611f1c1837&

[sharp elbow]

Where is the exit?

[round bone]

if item's max amount is 1, you can save it

[woven loom]

any node can be start and end

[valid ice]

👀 is that for mc?

[round bone]

const itemStack = // some ItemStack class instance
if (itemStack.maxAmount === 1) itemStack.setDynamicProperty("key", /* some value */);

[fallow rivet]

Sword,armor etc.?

[honest spear]

Nice, great job!

[distant tulip]

@fallow rivet

[fallow rivet]

Ok

Thanks

[warm mason]

Which is faster, for of or for let i = 0; i < ...?

[round bone]

if you don't need an index, use for of loops

• they're faster

[sharp elbow]

The distinction is negligible. Using one or another is really a premature optimization.

[woven loom]

yes

[sharp elbow]

That should come down to either preference or what information you need. As m0lc says, use C-style for loops when you need an index; you can also use Array.prototype.forEach for this too

[woven loom]

my fav for i

[tidal wasp]

so I put block.location within getTags?

[inland merlin]

He shared this

One sec

[crude bridge]

I dont see the command debug

[granite badger]

https://jaylydev.github.io/posts/jaylybot/#script-api-debugger this is how you use it

[gaunt salmon]

Debugging Script

[crude bridge]

thx

[inland merlin]

block needs to be defined with block coordinates then it can getTags() from that block location / block

[tidal wasp]

Oh ok

[inland merlin]

So Jayly shows you can add location

In his example

X y z

[tidal wasp]

Wait then how the hell does my other script work without defining block location

[inland merlin]

Probably defined earlier

[tidal wasp]

It's not

[inland merlin]

Hmm

[tidal wasp]

Actually

It's also the same class of events

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock

[inland merlin]

Yeah it's defined in the block class (targeted by the event)

It just depends how you define it

[crude bridge]

bro its stuck

someone can debug this

[gaunt salmon]

No Errors

No errors in [code](#1067535608660107284 message)

[crude bridge]

but it dosent work...

[distant tulip]

it dose work

[inland merlin]

Do you need to define dimension there?

Doesn't throw error?

[distant tulip]

no, it is optional

[inland merlin]

Awhh ok

Does it need an interval defined or will it be constant without a delay?

Like system.run

Im just thinking of issues I haven't really run into or tried

[distant tulip]

optional too
default to 1

[granite badger]

Show content log please

[inland merlin]

Lmao

[inland merlin]

Good to know these defaults

I have always added something

[inland merlin]

Is the script imported

The file

Otherwise nothing* will happen

[crude bridge]

not for me?

[crude bridge]

wait

[crude bridge]

nah im stupid

it work

[inland merlin]

Lmao

Ggs

I only laugh because this happens to every one of us

[crude bridge]

lol

[warm drum]

guy

what the aim assist abt?

[distant tulip]

it is for aim assist...

[unique dragon]

🧠

[distant tulip]

it is hard to aim in custom camera view, they added that as a way of helping to aim in those

[warm drum]

skill issue

[dim tusk]

C'mon

Don't be too rude

[distant tulip]

someone feel attacked

[dim tusk]

Me 😀

[distant tulip]

nah, i didn't say that...

[buoyant canopy]

can we somehow configure a structure block with scripts?

[wary edge]

Elaborate.

[buoyant canopy]

like the structure name... save mode, type, orientation, includeEntitues... etc

mostly interested about the structure name.

seems impossible now i think about it.

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.16.0/classes/StructureManager.html

[buoyant canopy]

no i mean the physical blocks

i needed that to place prepared structure blocks for exporting structures.

[distant tulip]

in applyDamage how to make the damagingEntity a player....?

the thrown error i am getting is
[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Native variant type conversion failed. Interface property ['damagingProjectile'] expected type: Entity (failed parsing interface to Interface property ['cause'], failed parsing interface to Function argument [1]) at <anonymous> (main.js:52)

"damagingProjectile"?
so it is expecting a projectile entity?

[warm mason]

Add cause, otherwise the code thinks you want to use damagingProjectile

[distant tulip]

thanks

[meager cargo]

Hey hey, is there a chance to use script API to make that player can see entity's nametag from like 10 blocks away? Like checking radius and if player is near he can see it. I know in entity.behavior.json there is component of that, but I want not see this always

[dim tusk]

that's not a script API related.

[meager cargo]

How I can use rawtext on the leaderboard here?

system.runInterval(() => {
    const entities = [...world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities()];
    const test1 = world.scoreboard.getObjective("test1 ");
    const test2 = world.scoreboard.getObjective("test2 ");

    for (const entity of entities) {
        if (entity.hasTag("test_scores")) {
            const players = world.getAllPlayers();

            let leaderboard = [];
            for (const player of players) {
                const c_score5 = test1 .getScore(player) ?? 0;
                const r_score5 = test2 .getScore(player) ?? 0;

                leaderboard.push(`${player.name}: Cyber Cores: ${c_score5}, Robotic Parts: ${r_score5}`);
            }

            entity.nameTag = leaderboard.join("\n");
        }
    }
}, 1);

[meager cargo]

Okay, I will reach json ui or just do it somehow different

[dim tusk]

you can make the name tag disappear or not visible in a distance but other players will be affected by the view too

[meager cargo]

Ooo, that's a great idea! I will do that, cuz I don't need more players in that case

Can you help me with leaderboard, please?

[dim tusk]

oh we need to add and remove component to your mob btw to your entity

[round bone]

I think you can't use rawtext for nametags

[strong oar]

Guys may I ask if you can help of a script that when you place a block which is my block then automatically when it is placed, on the top of it there will be another block that was placed for example a stone?

[deep yew]

If I have mob spawners on a skyblock island that are able to be clicked, opening a GUI for upgrades, removing it, etc., how should I save the data in the mob spawners of their "level" and stuff? Block Tags?

[dim tusk]

block.above().setType('stone');

[dim tusk]

block tags are static and cannot be changed you could try to use dynamic property and store it on the world

[deep yew]

Then how would I point each mob spawner to its own dynamic property?

On the other hand, do the block tags stay when loaded with a structure?

[dim tusk]

make the id the location of the block.

[deep yew]

I am using a plots system so there's only 10 skyblock islands maximum at one time, then they're unloaded manually or when you leave

[dim tusk]

world.setDynamicProperty(`zap:${block.location.x},${block.location.y},${block.location.z}`, <values>);

[deep yew]

I get the idea, but the location will change based on what plot the player is in

unless I do relative coordinates to the plot

[dim tusk]

you can do what you want.

[deep yew]

This is true

[deep yew]

But...

[dim tusk]

Wdym by that.

Yes, they will stay in the block no matter what but you can't add or remove a tag to the blocks

Just like items

also if you don't want to use dynamic property, you could try to use states on blocks but there's still a limit to how many you can add.

[bright dove]

I need help

i want to make a method that gets the player position at 75000 75000 and minus it to zero

static getPosition(player) {
        return Vec3.add(player.location, Vec3.from(+750000, 0, +750000));
     }
}

is this correct ?

[dim tusk]

can you rephrase it again?

[bright dove]

so basically

the center of the "dimension" i am making is at 75000 75000

[dim tusk]

then.

[bright dove]

the, i am trying to make a static method that allows you to get the current location of the player relative to the dimension 0 0

ie at 75000 75000

[dim tusk]

Ahh... I get it. When the player is in your dimension the location is 75000 ~ 75000 and you want to make that it acts as 0 0 0 of the player?

[bright dove]

i want it to get the location of the "dimension" coordinate

[distant tulip]

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

const blocksToReplace = ["minecraft:air"];

world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe((event) => {
  const block = event.block;
  const maxHeight = block.dimension.heightRange.max;

  if (block.typeId === "minecraft:my_block") {
    const aboveBlock = block.above();

    if (block.location.y >= maxHeight-1 || !blocksToReplace.includes(aboveBlock?.typeId)) {
      event.cancel = true;
      return;
    }

    aboveBlock.setType("minecraft:stone");
  }
});

[dim tusk]

Your calculation is correct then.

[bright dove]

so basically if the real location is 75000 75000 it returns 0 0

[dim tusk]

const { x: locX, z: locZ } = player.location;
const dimension = { x: 75000, z: 75000 };

console.log(locX - dimension.x, locZ - dimension.z);```

if the player's location is at the dimension's origin it will turn 0 0

I just ignore Y since you didn't include it on your original sceipt

[bright dove]

const the_end = world.getDimension('the_end');
/**

        return Vec3.add(player.location, Vec3.from(-750000, 0, -750000));
     }
}````

this works though ?

[dim tusk]

I'm not sure about the y axis in your current script, when the player spawns is the origin at 0?

If yes then good to go I guess? Try it out.

[bright dove]

well, the y axis is the same everywhere

[dim tusk]

Ohh, ok.

[bright dove]

Yeah, the y axis in 75000 75000 is the same as 0 0

[bright dove]

well, the y axis is +0

[empty tapir]

can someone help me why does this doesnt return the translated text and it returns [object object] i am using it on ActionForm

const itemsList = craftingGuideData.items
        ? Object.entries(craftingGuideData.items)
            .map(([key, value]) => {
                const text = { rawtext: [{ translate: `item.${value}` }] };
                return `${getColorForLetter(key)}${key}§r = ${text}`;
            })
            .join("\n")
        : "";

[dim tusk]

probably the value is an object. Try stringifying the value

[empty tapir]

still the same

i also tried stringify the text and this comes out

[wary edge]

You're using rawtext wrong then.

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.16.0/interfaces/RawMessage.html#translate

[empty tapir]

how is it wrong?

[wary edge]

You're not translating it at all.

[empty tapir]

i know thats why i am asking why does this line doesnt translate it

                const text = { rawtext: [{ translate: `item.${value}` }] };

[wary edge]

Because it's an interface. Did you read the docs I sent?

[open urchin]

you're turning the object into a string ````${getColorForLetter(key)}${key}§r = ${text}`;```

[bright dove]

@balmy mason what does vec3.from do

[naive tinsel]

is it possible to force close chat

[dim tusk]

Nope without damage.

if you're opening a form you could use forceShow to show the form constantly till there's no obstructions for the form to be opened

[naive tinsel]

ok

[balmy mason]

Forms a Vector3 from different inputs. It supports 3-element arrays, 3 parameters, and 1 parameter to assign all three components.

[bright dove]

@balmy mason can you check if this is correct to what i am doing

[bright dove]

Thanks ! 😭

[balmy mason]

As long as you're importing the library your usage of Vec3.add looks correct.

The function additionally supports arbitrary amounts of vectors to be added together, as long as they all follow the same Vector3 interface.

You can actually further improve the legibility of your code to calculate the range as well.

[naive tinsel]

function forceCloseChat(p: Player) {
  p.applyDamage(0.001, { cause: EntityDamageCause.void });
}```this just damages the player and doesnt close chat?

[dim tusk]

applying damage to the player to close a ui doesn't work 100%

[naive tinsel]

thats so bad

bruh

[dim tusk]

so if the player got already damaged before showing the any forms of ui, damaging player again won't trigger closing the form

either you need to kill the player or change gamemode from current gamemode to creative then back to the old gamemode.

[naive tinsel]

ok

[bright dove]

is my usage of Vec3.from correct too ?

[balmy mason]

Yes, but couldn't you test that just through seeing the type definitions for the function in VS code? If you copied both files they should be there. Otherwise I can send the comments right here if needed, theye are available on the github repo as well

[bright dove]

Yeah, i don't see any comments the current vec3 lib i am using have add but doesnt have from.

[balmy mason]

I thought you were using my library, sorry

I can't speak to the functionality of other libraries

[bright dove]

Yeah, i am using yours

just not understanding how your Vec3.from means

I am trying to make static method Moon.getPosition() returns the player location on the moon relative to the origin(the 'dimension' 0 0)

[balmy mason]

You should be able to see all of the relevant documentation by hovering over the function name:

If you can't see this then either you don't have the .d.ts file imported into your scripts folder with the .js file, or if you're using a bundler you haven't installed the npm module for the library

[deep yew]

How can I make custom states or properties of a block that save?

[wary edge]

Could you clarify a bit more? This seems like a #1067876857103536159 question.

[deep yew]

Basically how can I save data to a specific block that I can use in scripts? I want to have "upgradeable" mob spawners and such, with levels and custom data, but need a way to save that data to the block. I can use dynamic properties for that data, but I need a way to know which block needs that data if it's moved, removed, etc.

Not sure how to explain it differently, I'm sorry

[wary edge]

You'll need to store the block location as a key or something then store the data to the key.

[deep yew]

So that saves the data itself, and I will use block location to retrieve the data for the block, but I want to know if it's possible to make the script know that if you move that block, where to send the data to after it's placed again

If nothing similar to that is possible or viable, I can always just make it a "move block mode" that doesn't give you the block, but asks you where you want it and it just moves the block using scripts

with only 1 block at a time

[dim tusk]

ohh, when you place the block there's a saved data when you break it and place it again. You want to load the saved data?

since dynamic property doesn't work on stackables items you could try to store it on a lore of the item with the ID and you can grab the lore of the item to load the dynamic property

[dawn zealot]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(data => {
    const player = data.player;
    const {location} = player

    if (getScore(player, "combatTicks") > 0 && !player.hasTag("safe")) {
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).spawnEntity(`summon power:player_soul ${locationx} ${location.y} ${lcoation.z}`)
}
//ignore this below, for another system
    system.run(() => {
        let dogID = getScore(player, "dogID")
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).runCommand(`kill @e[type=wolf,scores={dogID=${dogID}}]`)
    })
})
``` im trying to summon an entity on the players location when they leave but it keeps saying smt abt permissions or wtv

also not actual code ^

[dim tusk]

wrap that part with system.run

[dawn zealot]

heh?

[dim tusk]

it's before events you can't modify anything in the world before it happens that's why we use system run to run things in the next tick

e.g. add tags, spawn entity, kill entity, add item in inventory and many more

[dawn zealot]

but if i run it in the next tick, it wont be able to get the players scores or tags

right?

[dim tusk]

It gets an old score so you don't need to worry about the script getting the new score

It just execute things in the next tick.

[dawn zealot]

i get this

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(data => {
    const player = data.player;
    const {location} = player

    system.run(() => {
    if (getScore(player, "combatTicks") > 0 && !player.hasTag("safe")) {
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).spawnEntity(`summon power:player_soul ${location.x} ${location.y} ${location.z}`)
}


        let dogID = getScore(player, "dogID")
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).runCommand(`kill @e[type=wolf,scores={dogID=${dogID}}]`)
    })
})
``` with this

[wary edge]

Wrap the spawnENtity and the runCommand in system.run, not the if condition.

[dim tusk]

You can't do anything iirc beforeEvents of playerLeave except setting or getting dynamic property

[dawn zealot]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(data => {
    const player = data.player;
    const {location} = player

    if (getScore(player, "combatTicks") > 0 && !player.hasTag("safe")) {
        system.run(() => {
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).spawnEntity(`summon power:player_soul ${location.x} ${location.y} ${location.z}`)
        })
}

system.run(() => {
        let dogID = getScore(player, "dogID")
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).runCommand(`kill @e[type=wolf,scores={dogID=${dogID}}]`)
    })
})
``` so this?

[dim tusk]

the error shows that the player isn't accessible since it already left.

[dim tusk]

^

[dawn zealot]

it worked before tho

[dawn zealot]

just realized i had a command in spawn entity lmao 2sec

[deep yew]

But does a placed block have lore

[dim tusk]

then i dunno. The error literally shows that the player isn't accessible since it already left.

[deep yew]

or even the block.getItemStack

[dawn zealot]

the if runs fine

its the spawn entity

[dim tusk]

then ok

[dim tusk]

I'm not sure either if it didn't work just be creative how to implement it...

if you want we can just sue one dynamic property to store those datas.

we can store a location of the block there with its data but still needed the lore

[dawn zealot]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(data => {
    const player = data.player;
    const loc = player.location;
    world.setDynamicProperty(`leaveLoc`, loc)

    if (getScore(player, "combatTicks") > 0 && !player.hasTag("safe")) {
        system.run(() => {
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).spawnEntity(`power:player_soul`, world.getDynamicProperty(`leaveLoc`))
        })
}

system.run(() => {
        let dogID = getScore(player, "dogID")
        world.getDimension(`overworld`).runCommand(`kill @e[type=wolf,scores={dogID=${dogID}}]`)
    })
})

works now

[deep yew]

placed blocks, when doing getItemStack(), do not save lore.

using beforeBlockPlace

[subtle cove]

Should it?

[deep yew]

our conversation is me asking how to save custom data to specific blocks in order to move/remove them and place them elsewhere with that information going to the new location of the same block

like "upgrading" mob spawners but being able to move one or multiple and get the information of specific blocks from dynamic properties

I can get and write info of the block using relative coords etc and dynamic properties, but I want to be able to move the block and still get the same data

[valid ice]

Use block properties

[deep yew]

well, specifically what and how?

[valid ice]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-permutations.html

[deep yew]

so make a new permutation in the block.json?

[valid ice]

In the block BP file

[deep yew]

Are block BP files in the vanilla packs?

[valid ice]

I can show you an example spawner file- I have three properties. ones, tens and hundreds for the spawner stack value

[valid ice]

They are not

[deep yew]

Sounds good with me

Like spawner stacking as in 1 block that you click on and it adds spawners, multiplying rates?

[valid ice]

Yeah

[deep yew]

Was trying to see if the data saving stuff was possible in vanilla but a custom block with all these custom permutations sounds better

[wary edge]

Block dynamic properties cannot come any sooner.

[valid ice]

It’s a lot easier lol

[steady canopy]

How would that work after u break the block if item dynamic properties can't be set on stackable items and most blocks are stackable...

Will we get also block dynamic properties only for non stackable blocks...

that would be dumb

[deep yew]

Might be unstackable with the same type without the same dynamic properties

[valid ice]

Like blocks that are placed in the world, I think Sean means

[deep yew]

Yeah it sounds counterintuitive but also logical, somehow

[deep yew]

How would you modify/get "states" versus "permutations"?

or is it the same?

[dim tusk]

they are the same.

[deep yew]

Oka good, because the docs said"permutations" instead of "states" like his file

[dawn zealot]

            if (hitEntity.typeId == "power:player_soul") {
                if (attacker.typeId == "minecraft:player") {
                    attacker.runCommand(`scoreboard players add @s healthMax ${getScore(hitEntity, "healthMax")}`)
                    let hitEntityName = hitEntity.getTags().filter(t => t.startsWith("name:")).map(e => e.slice(5))
                    console.warn(hitEntity.getTags().filter(t => t.startsWith("name:")).map(e => e.slice(5)))
                    attacker.sendMessage(`§aYou have received §2${getScore(hitEntity, "healthMax")} §aMax Health, which was §710%% of §8${hitEntityName}'s §aMax Health because they left §cin combat!`)
                }
            }
``` it says failed to getTags for some reason and im not sure why..

[dim tusk]

import { BlockPermutation } from '@minecraft/server';

const perm = Block.permutation.getState('<name>');

Block.setPermutation(Block.permutation.withState('<name>', <value>));

Block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve('<block id>', { <state name>: <value>, <state name>: <value> });

[dim tusk]

Is the entity able to have a tag?

[dawn zealot]

yeah

that getTags

works for updating the entities name somewhere in my code

but doesnt work here

[dim tusk]

^ here @deep yew

[valid ice]

Yeah mojang changed the wording a lil bit ago, it's the same thing

[deep yew]

Thank you so much. But what's the difference between the first setPermutation vs the second?

[deep yew]

As expected

[steady canopy]

is 800-1600 ticks actually a normal spawn rate ?

In the vanilla spawners

[valid ice]

Just a value I've set for my custom spawners

[steady canopy]

i see

[dawn zealot]

nvm fixed

[dim tusk]

the first one you're just setting that state without touching other states, it means when i changed a specific state it retains other states while the second one will set what you just defined so it resets the whole block permutation saved

[deep yew]

Ohhh okay yes I am slow

[dim tusk]

Nah you're not, I just have a shit English and explanation lmfao

[deep yew]

just getting the key and setting the value vs making a new block and giving it a key

No you're good, I should've thought about it more

[wary edge]

Huh?

We're talking about block dynamic properties. Which stores data on the block.

Items are something different. Its no longer a block when destroyed.

Or perhaps it makes the block unstackable like how items with different lore cannot be stacked.

[wary edge]

Yes thats exactly what I mean. People think the blocks in the inventiry are blocks when in reality theyre all items. Blocks are the physical cubes in the world.

[valid ice]

I could imagine the pain you could cause the world by assigning every block placed a million properties

[wary edge]

Its no different than creating a custom item with 64 tags, each with 65536 characters.

[valid ice]

fair

[dim tusk]

I mean you could just use one dynamic property and create another one if it reaches the limit 32k character limit

[valid ice]

ig items can be especially bad; I remember my world lagging when I moved a cheest filled with shulker boxes around my inventory

[deep yew]

Oh actually I misread the docs. "states" is in the "description" and is just a key with string[] | bool[] | number[] values. Permutations use conditions and components with molang

[steady canopy]

And that's exactly what i said...

A block is a cube in the world

And you want to save dynamic properties on that cube

but if you break it

How does it save those properties

[wary edge]

If you kill an entity does it save the properties?

[steady canopy]

No but we're talking about blocks. For example you can get a chest with it's items as an item and when you place again the chest, it will have those items inside even tho IT WAS A ITEM

so it wouldnt make sense to create block dynamic properties

if you cant keep them after breaking the block

that would be the same as just

using the block location as key

for a world dynamic property

youre saving it on a location not on a block.... Blocks should be more than just a position in the world when we are talking about saving properties on it

[wary edge]

For example you can get a chest with it's items as an item
That is a block entity. Not dynamic property.

You are talking about a completely different thing.

[steady canopy]

What about spawners keeping their entity when you use ctrl scroll ?

[dim tusk]

yeah but there's still the same

[wary edge]

Again, you are talking about block entities.

[steady canopy]

What the hell is a block entity 😭

Then you are saying dynamic properties should only be saved in a particular location

in that case dont ask for block dynamic properties

simply use world dynamic properties with block location as key

[wary edge]

That is a horrible implementation.

Please, don't use ItemStack dynamic properties or Entity Dynamic Properties. Just use their ID and ContainerSlot as the key.

[steady canopy]

i guess what you're asking for would be just a simplified way of doign that.

[dim tusk]

block entities are sands, anvils, gravels etc.

[wary edge]

Please learn the basics of technical Minecraft.

[steady canopy]

that doesnt make sense at all

[wary edge]

They are not block entities.

[dim tusk]

really?

[steady canopy]

those are falling blocks lol

[dim tusk]

then wadahel you mean by that.

oh yeah make sense lmfao

[steady canopy]

Still if they are block entities

they are blocks that keep their stuff when you take them as an item

[wary edge]

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Block_entity

[steady canopy]

and when u place them again

you have that stuff in the block again

so

[wary edge]

Block Dynamic properties are NOT block entities.

[deep yew]

paintings, item frames, etc.

[steady canopy]

thats my point

[steady canopy]

Bro i know they are not

but what about that

[wary edge]

That's not the point of dynamic properties.

You are talking about something entirely different that I neveer brought up.

[steady canopy]

Dynamic properties is persistent data

why wouldn't it be

[wary edge]

You are talking about something entirely different. Not going to continue this conversation anymore.

[steady canopy]

k

[deep yew]

Thank y'all for the help, it goes a long way

[dim tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/friends-we-made-along-the-way-gif-26479085

The real help was the friends we made along the way.

[bright dove]

how do you make it so that once you destroy something every similar blocks above it also get destroyed ?

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(ev => {
   const { block, player, itemStack } = ev;
   if (block.typeId === block.above()?.typeId) {
      system.run(() => block.dimension.runCommand(`setblock ${block.above().x} ${block.above().y} ${block.above().z} air destroy`) );
   }
});```

it's kinda like this.

[subtle cove]

Vines destroy kind

[cold grove]

Wdym by destroy kids

Oh- my bad

[weary umbra]

how can I import Vector3?

it was from something like math but I don't remember anymore

[wary edge]

Vector3 the class or the interface?

[weary umbra]

class
I tried using this but didn't work

{
  "module_name": "@minecraft/math",
  "version": "2.0.1"
}

[wary edge]

It's not a module. You'll need to separetly install it then bundle it with your code.

[weary umbra]

bruh why

[open urchin]

it doesn't interact with minecraft at all, so there's no need for it to be part of the game

[woven loom]

I also didn't like that.

[warm mason]

I just want to share some "fun" information. Some people know that I am developing JSUI and so, it takes about 2-3 ms to calculate all the parameters for text per 1000 characters. So, here's some interesting information: rendering text takes 90 ms, 3 of which are parameter calculations, the rest is calling the spawnParticle function. And I'm actually shocked at how unoptimized this function is.

[balmy mason]

Were you able to get the type definitions imported?

[fallow rivet]

When the player holds the diamond sword, an entity will spawn and when the player does not have the sword in his hand, this entity will die. How can I do this?

[warm mason]

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (let player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    if (player.dimension.getEntities({tags: ['swhds:' + player.id]})) continue
    if (player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Mainhand')?.typeId != 'minecraft:diamond_sword') continue
    let entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity('armor_stand', player.location)
    entity.addTag("swhds:" + player.id)
    entity.addTag("swhds_sys")
    entity.setDynamicProperty('playerId', player.id)
  }
})

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (let id of ['overworld','nether','the_end']) {
    for (let entity of world.getDimension(id).getEntities({tags: ['swhds_sys']})) {
      if (world.getEntity(entity.getDynamicProperty('playerId'))?.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Mainhand')?.typeId != 'minecraft:diamond_sword') {
        entity.remove()
      }
    }
  }
})

[steady canopy]

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()){
        const equip = player.getComponent('equippable')
        const hand = equip.getEquipmentSlot(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand)

        if (!hand.hasItem() || hand.typeId !== 'minecraft:diamond_sword') {
            if (player.hasTag('hasEntity')){
                const entities = player.dimension.getEntities({ tags: [`owner:${player.id}`]})
                entities.forEach(e => e.remove())
                player.removeTag('hasEntity')
                continue;
            } else continue;
        }

        if (player.hasTag('hasEntity')) continue;

        player.addTag('hasEntity')

        /**
         * Replace yourEntityId for your actual entity ID.
         */
        const entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity(`yourEntityId`, player.location)
        entity.addTag(`owner:${player.id}`)
    }
})

[steady canopy]

Lmao i was doing the same

[warm mason]

😂

[fallow rivet]

Thanks

[fallow rivet]

Js or ts?

[warm mason]

js

[steady canopy]

both

This will work in ts or js

[empty light]

is there something like entity.extinguish or some way to make an entity no longer be on fire

[distant tulip]

extinguishfire( true )

[dim tusk]

The default value option in the slider doesn't accept float? Just wanna confirm since in the docs it says number not float

[empty light]

Thank you!!

[woven loom]

uis dont support float ig that is why but u can work around it

[dim tusk]

Yeah lol, I'm dealing with an RGBA type thing so I just made it accept value from 0 to 255 and change the value displayed in form by dividing the value to 255 to fake it as 0 to 1 float value

[inland merlin]

Your working with the particle? Is the coloring working well?

[dim tusk]

Yah, and yes it works perfectly

[inland merlin]

Did you keep the same base color grey or change it?

[dim tusk]

Change it to pure white.

[inland merlin]

That's awesome it's working! Pure white makes sense

[dim tusk]

If you want your particle to have highlights thingy, you should make it have a highlight but also white

Ever seen leather armor .tga texture image?

[inland merlin]

No actually

[dim tusk]

This is sheep tga file since they changed color, they made it like this.

[inland merlin]

Oh ok

[dim tusk]

ignore the thing in the background I use that to real-time color preview lol

Unimportant but this is my little RGBA lmfao

[sleek nexus]

There's no way to open an NPC dialogue with body text set by a script, right?

[inland merlin]

Oooo nice

[dim tusk]

No...

[vague helm]

anyone seen this error?

https://pastecode.io/s/wf49qxgc

[dim tusk]

I have a stupid idea but not a feasible sat So in json UI you could cut off strings to be displayed, you could probably make that it gets the title from string 0 to string 10 and get the body from string 11 to string whatever. Since the title of npc screen is based on the name of the npc itself you can probably do that.

[dim tusk]

you should use queue_command

and what's the line 149?

[vague helm]

i will grab it for you

system.beforeEvents.watchdogTerminate.subscribe(data => {
data.cancel = true;
});

[vague helm]

[dim tusk]

yes

this was a pack from 9 ish months ago im trying to update it

I'm talking about the minecart server script version not UI

[vague helm]

got it

[dim tusk]

Are you in the latest stable or preview?

[vague helm]

stable I would prefer this to be usable for a while

ah thanks for the help

script semi works

now i got to figure out what i was thinking awhile ago

[cold grove]

now try HUE 👀

[dim tusk]

y'know what rhymes with HUE? F- you

Nah jk

[cold grove]

chill

[vague helm]

Hey new problem with this

[Scripting][warning]-Failed to import command: vault, SyntaxError: Could not find export 'Vector' in module '@minecraft/server'
this is from my db

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

[dim tusk]

Vector doesn't exist in there anymore.

either you create custom class or download a bundle

[vague helm]

Xd

got it thanks

[dim tusk]

there's a lot online just check them out

[full brook]

how to optimize system.runInterval?

[deep yew]

make it run every 1 or 5 or 10 ticks?

[full brook]

is there any other way than that?

[dim tusk]

What are you doing inside of the ruInterval?

[full brook]

    if (player.hasTag(`clan:`) || player.hasTag(`clan:`)) return;
    const equipment = player.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");
    const chest = equipment.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Chest);

    if (chest?.typeId === "minecraft:elytra") {
        equipment.setEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Chest, null);
        player.dimension.spawnItem(chest, player.location);
    }
}```

let playerIndex = 0;
system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getAllPlayers();
    const player = players[playerIndex];

    if (!player) {
        playerIndex = 0;
    } else {
        elytra(player);
        playerIndex = (playerIndex + 1) % players.length;
    }
});

[full brook]

is it better than just

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        elytra(player);
    }
}, 20);

[dim tusk]

Why do this?

[full brook]

idk

[dim tusk]

you can just do this.

[full brook]

okay

[jolly veldt]

Does onPlace work on natural generation too or just player placing?

[wary edge]

Should work for natural generation.

[warm mason]

It works with the setblock/fill command or when some mob places it (enderman for example). But this is unlikely to work with generation, since chunks are generated at a larger radius than the loading area, so this will be an attempt to get a block in the unloaded chunk

[dim tusk]

i was gonna say that too since Poggy (i forgot who), made a post that onPlace in custom components doesn't trigger with natural generation.

[warm mason]

|| It was King and he was talking about onTick ||

[dim tusk]

oof, mybad lol

[wary edge]

since chunks are generated at a larger radius than the loading area
Visually yes.

[warm mason]

This needs to be checked

[wary edge]

Last I checked onPlace works.

[strong oar]

guys do you know where to find the complete minecraft id list on the latest version of minecraft bedrock

[distant tulip]

ids of...?

[fallow rivet]

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        if (player.hasTag("test")) {
            player.removeTag("test");

            const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
            const selectedSlotIndex = player.selectedSlotIndex;
            const selectedItem = inventory.getItem(selectedSlotIndex);

            if (selectedItem) {
                player.setDynamicProperty("item", selectedItem);

                const barrierItem = new ItemStack("minecraft:barrier", 1);
                inventory.setItem(selectedSlotIndex, barrierItem);
            }
        }

        if (player.hasTag("give")) {
            player.removeTag("give");

            const savedItem = player.getDynamicProperty("item");
            if (savedItem) {
                const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
                inventory.addItem(savedItem);
            }
        }
    }
});

Not work why?

[wary edge]

What exactly does not work? You're doing a lot of things.

[warm mason]

You cannot save items to dynamic properties. Use this -> https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1252014916496527380

bruh you literally sent it

[fallow rivet]

This doesn't work
