Script API General

[thorn flicker]

read it.

[hybrid island]

const durabilityComp = item.getComponent("minecraft:durability");
durabilityComp.damage = 0; // Fully repair the item

this is what i am trying to do

oh so how to change it to write mode?

error

this is line 42
durabilityComp.damage = 0;

[hybrid island]

^^

[granite badger]

I'm so tempted to add an article about readonly and early execution mode on my docs

[hybrid island]

you should add

[granite badger]

is that my docs or someone elses

[hybrid island]

ur docs

im still cofused xd

[hybrid island]

how do i change the damge

[sterile epoch]

r u setting it back 2 the inventory after u do the damage

[hybrid island]

wdym

[sterile epoch]

i think like

[granite badger]

const item = container.getItem() // gets the item
const component = item.getComponent(...) // get component
container.setItem(slot, item) // set it back

You have to set the item back

[sterile epoch]

yeah

[hybrid island]

ohh

[sterile epoch]

cuz I think it just makes a copied edited version of the item and doesn't actually edit the original

[hybrid island]

wait

do i do slot or the item

bruh

im stupid

[sterile epoch]

that returns a copy of the itemStack

so then you edit that and set it back

[hybrid island]

    const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
    const itemx = inventory.getSlot(player.selectedSlotIndex);
    const item = itemx.getItem()
                durabilityComp.damage = 0; // Fully repair the item
                inventory.setItem(itemx, item)
``` this is what i did

not working

[sterile epoch]

where the getComponent

[granite badger]

inventory.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, item)

[hybrid island]

oh ok

thanks!!

[sterile epoch]

what happens if u do inventory.addItem() but the inventory is full?

[hybrid island]

it erros?

i think so

[sterile epoch]

can u try it for me and see I cba

I'm kidding btw

[hybrid island]

i would but im playing tho

[sterile epoch]

fair

[hybrid island]

ya if i was playing alone then i would creeate new world and test but

[sterile epoch]

is it a realm or smthn?

[hybrid island]

nah normal

world

im the owner

im dying with reading chat

[distant tulip]

it return itemStack

let say you have half a stack empty, and you tried to add a stack of the same item.
the function will add half a stack and return the rest

so you will ideally do
const item = container.addItem(...)
if(item) dimension.spawnItem(item, loc)

[bright dove]

Is there an event listener to listen to gamerule change ?

[distant tulip]

gameRuleChange

[thorn flicker]

yes

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.gameRuleChange.subscribe(({ ruleId, value }) => {
});```

[thorn flicker]

[distant tulip]

[thorn flicker]

[distant tulip]

i see someone changed his Docs preferences

[thorn flicker]

these are the docs ive been suggesting for awhile now.

[bright dove]

Example ?

[thorn flicker]

just create an if statement

[distant tulip]

I didn't notice

thought you are using jaylys

[bright dove]

Ah i see

[thorn flicker]

no

[untold magnet]

d u have the latest beta version? so i can test it out on multiplayer.

[distant tulip]

give me a sec to update

[chilly fractal]

E

[dim tusk]

const inventory = Block.getComponent('inventory').container;
const item = inventory.getItem(2)```

Doesn't work?

[chilly fractal]

I dont know how to possibly come up with a master plan to detect when someone falls

[chilly fractal]

Should work

Unless the block is unloaded

[distant tulip]

Minatocraft1
send an invite

[chilly fractal]

Do know that i launch a player in the air, i can detect if they start flying with a good'ol elytra or anything easy peasy but when they fall

[untold magnet]

wait, blocks has an inventory component?

[dim tusk]

ummm. Yeah? chest, barrel, shulker box?

[untold magnet]

ah, i thought for custom blocks

[chilly fractal]

I have absolutely no idea what to do because .isJumping flags even if they are holding jump in mid air

So then I'd kill the player if i assume they landed

And .getVelocity() is very helpful but i can't really decide how to use it

[dim tusk]

just make a map when it detects If the player has already jumped it will set that to true, if they land it will set that to false

[chilly fractal]

Yeah that's hard part

.isOnGround doesn't flag

If you hold the jump button

[untold magnet]

something went wrong, why is this so freaking HUGE

[dim tusk]

it works... Fine with me... I used that in my statistics addon

[chilly fractal]

Lower gui texture

[chilly fractal]

Yeah idk i guess my addon isn't very optimized or smth

Ima test out later again

I kinda revamped everything

And split the functionality upon 2 addons

[untold magnet]

it was -1
i turned it into the smallest one ( -2 ) and it went into the -1 size

[untold magnet]

i added u

[chilly fractal]

🤷‍♂️

Reopen mc?

[untold magnet]

wait a min, i should change one system

this onejs system.runInterval(() => { for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) { const itemStack = player.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Head'); if (itemStack?.typeId === 'exe_heads:fisherman_hat') fisherman_hat = true; else fisherman_hat = false; } })

it will set that 'fisherman_hat' into true, when one of the players equips it,
and this works only when one of those players is equipped it if (fisherman_hat === true) if (Math.random() <= 0.1) dimension.runCommandAsync(loot spawn ${x} ${y} ${z} loot "gameplay/fishing") so it will work for anyone who dont equip that fisherman hat

so, the system has to be changed.

specifically this:

world.beforeEvents.entityRemove.subscribe((event) => {
  const hook = event.removedEntity;
    if (hook.typeId === "minecraft:fishing_hook") {
        const loc = hook.location;
        const date = Date.now()
        const dimension = hook.dimension
        const { x, y, z } = hook.location
        const id = system.runInterval(() => {
          const id2 = system.runTimeout(()=>system.clearRun(id),20)

          const items = dimension.getEntities({type:"minecraft:item", location: loc, maxDistance: 2})
          for(const item of items){
            if(date - (itemSpawnDate.get(item)??0) < 100){
              if (fisherman_hat === true) if (Math.random() <= 0.1) dimension.runCommandAsync(`loot spawn ${x} ${y} ${z} loot "gameplay/fishing"`)
              system.clearRun(id)
              system.clearRun(id2)
              return
            }
          }
        });
    }
})```@distant tulip this system should detect the owner's equipment, drop the new loot tables when the owner is equipping a fisherman hat.

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
    const playerStates = JSON.parse(world.getDynamicProperty('playerStates') || '{}');
    
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        const movementPermission = player.inputPermissions.movementEnabled;

        if (!playerStates[player.id]) playerStates[player.id] = { isOnGround: true };

        if (movementPermission) {
            if (player.isJumping && playerStates[player.id].isOnGround) {
                console.error('Jumped');
                playerStates[player.id].isOnGround = false;
            }
            if (player.isOnGround && !playerStates[player.id].isOnGround) playerStates[player.id].isOnGround = true;
        }
    }
});```

I have this, I'm too lazy to fix some parts

[untold magnet]

i think i can make it work for the nearest player that is equipping the fisherman hat as a bonus for him, but it will make him get more loot if other players are fishing near him.

[fast lark]

Nah it returns undefinied

[distant tulip]

@untold magnet

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

[untold magnet]

holy

that looks sick

will it drop the extra loot 100%?

lets test it out and see.

[untold magnet]

this log is happening at this line const distance = Math.hypot(entity.location.x - x, entity.location.y - y, entity.location.z - z); only when i stand on the hook,

[distant tulip]

do
const distance = entity.isValid()?Math.hypot(entity.location.x - x, entity.location.y - y, entity.location.z - z):4;
lot of edge cases but i can't think of a better way

but maybe...

[distant tulip]

@untold magnet

[untold magnet]

same log

[wintry bane]

How do I use getViewDirection() and getHeadLocation() to convert tp @s ^2 ^5 ^-9 dynamically?

[distant tulip]

const distance = entity.isValid()?Math.hypot(entity.location.x - x, entity.location.y - y, entity.location.z - z):0;

[untold magnet]

alright fixed,

[distant tulip]

function relativeCoordinates(direction, location, offset){
  return {
    x: location.x + offset.x * direction.x,
    y: location.y + offset.y,
    z: location.z + offset.z * direction.z,
  }
}

usage:

  relativeCoordinates(direction, location, {x:2,y:5,z:-9})

[wintry bane]

thx

[woven loom]

what ?

[prisma shard]

wow minato be helping out everyone

[woven loom]

that's not how it qorks

you need to get all the local axis

[distant tulip]

yeah, i suggested a better way when i found out

[woven loom]

view direction is z axis if u flip x and y comp of z axis and make one of the comp negative it gives u x axis then z axis cross product x axis gives u y axis

after that u can do this for ^vx ^vy ^vz

location += xaxis * vx + yaxis * vy + zaxis * vz

i created a non cross product method some time ago

[distant tulip]

@wintry bane
-# and sorry for the misinformation

[scarlet sable]

is there a way to detect player input?

like right clicking

a stable way of course

[subtle cove]

itemUse with item

no event triggers for now when no item on hand

[scarlet sable]

damn

what about player interact with block?

can it be used with any block?

[subtle cove]

as long as the block is tangible, yes...

[scarlet sable]

tangible?

[subtle cove]

like excluding water/lava

[scarlet sable]

damn xD

the exact block I need

[scarlet sable]

is there an alt way for them?

[subtle cove]

u can use this one if u like, just to see what events triggers simultaneously

[scarlet sable]

this is like an even detector?

[subtle cove]

sorta, ye

[scarlet sable]

ye nothing get's detected

mhm

I wonder if some found a way around it

how do I know the block I'm looking at?

[valid ice]

getBlockFromViewDirection

[subtle cove]

system.runInterval(()=>{
    for (const p of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        console.warn(p.getBlockFromViewDirection()?.block?.typeId);
    }
})

[scarlet sable]

ty

bruh

[valid ice]

Doesn't detect water

[scarlet sable]

what does?

[valid ice]

Gotta use the parameters for the function

[scarlet sable]

wdym?

includeLiquidBlocks?: boolean

this one?

[valid ice]

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

Ye

That one

[scarlet sable]

ah I see

yay

[valid ice]

[scarlet sable]

why does mc do that?

[subtle cove]

from player's eyes to where ur lookin at, plus includeLiquid, then itll get the 1st block

[scarlet sable]

,

?*

for(const player of world.getAllPlayers()){
 world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
  const {player , block} = event;
  if(!player || !block) return;
  let blocktype = player.getBlockFromViewDirection({includeLiquidBlocks : true}).block.typeId;
if (blocktype === "minecraft:water"){
  player.sendMessage("water");
}

 })
}

[subtle cove]

u touched a block not a water

[scarlet sable]

wdym?

I wonna detect water

[subtle cove]

when...

[scarlet sable]

my problem is the spam that happens

[subtle cove]

oh

[scarlet sable]

I want 1 detction

not 10

[subtle cove]

if (!event.isFirstEvent || !player || !block) return;

[scarlet sable]

oh firstEvent

[subtle cove]

ye, they just added that few updates ago

[scarlet sable]

yep ty it's working

[scarlet sable]

W update

[weary umbra]

why do you forloop players when the event gives the player?

[scarlet sable]

it was supposed to be for another function

btw what's Ts?

[valid ice]

typescript

[scarlet sable]

and it's used for?

[distant tulip]

typing scripts

[valid ice]

Like javascript, but with stricter rules on what you can type- stops stupid mistakes and helps guide the creator better

[scarlet sable]

mhm

you recommend it?

[valid ice]

Very much so

It's pretty easy to set up and allows for a lot better experience writing code, imo

[deep arrow]

Yes.

[scarlet sable]

mhm

is it possible to mix it with js?

I have at least 100 lines so far and I'm not sure I have the time to rewrite them

[valid ice]

All JavaScript is valid typescript (you just get warnings for type mismatches)

[scarlet sable]

Mhm ok then

I'll try at least lol

[dawn zealot]

is there a block interact event?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[dawn zealot]

is there any examples? i dont have the npm installed

[wary edge]

Read the docs.

[dawn zealot]

jesus why do i even ask you

[wary edge]

🤷 It is useful to just...read the docs as well...you ask for examples and I'm giving you a source to read.

[scarlet sable]

look a bit up

I just was talking about it

[dawn zealot]

i found another way

[fallow rivet]

Hello smokey

[simple zodiac]

These days bundlers dont care if you mix js and ts

[scarlet sable]

real

wtf

the script randomly stopped working

no errors either

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
   const {player , block} = event;
   if(!event.isFirstEvent ||!player || !block) return;
   let blocktype = player.getBlockFromViewDirection({includeLiquidBlocks : true}).block.typeId;
   let thirst = JSON.parse(player.getDynamicProperty('thirst') || '{}')
 if (blocktype === "minecraft:water"){
   thirst.hydration = Math.min(100, thirst.hydration +40);
 }
 player.setDynamicProperty('thirst', JSON.stringify(thirst));
  })```

[dawn zealot]

so i have buttons here, but how can i make them only appear if a certain condition is met? using @valid ice's chestforms also

[distant tulip]

const form = ...
if(x) form.button(...)

[dim tusk]

umm, that wouldn't work without an item I guess? Use an item since the time the player can interact with water using a bucket, anything else? No i think

[scarlet sable]

No no it did work

[dawn zealot]

ty

[scarlet sable]

It worked like 6 times

But suddenly broke

[dim tusk]

try using itemUseOn

[scarlet sable]

I want it to work with anything tho

[dim tusk]

you got no choice as I said since players can only interact with water if they interact using bucket

tho I'm not 100% sure

[scarlet sable]

But how did it work?

It actually worked

I just don't know why it's broken

[scarlet sable]

Also that's just wrong

[dim tusk]

umm, are you looking at water with block behind?

[scarlet sable]

Ye of course

[dim tusk]

BRUH

try without block behind

[scarlet sable]

No it won't work lmao

That's the whole idea

[dim tusk]

Then you're supporting what I said

[dim tusk]

^

[scarlet sable]

I'm using a detection of interacting with the block behind the water and detecting that the water is infront of you

[dim tusk]

water I mean

[scarlet sable]

Ah I see

Ye you're right

[dim tusk]

Ahh

[scarlet sable]

Why is it broken now tho

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(ev => {
   const { block, player, itemStack } = ev;
   const raycast = player.getBlockFromViewDirection({ includeLiquidBlocks: true })?.block;
   console.error(raycast?.typeId);
});```

[scarlet sable]

Ain't that the same?

[dim tusk]

just try it

[scarlet sable]

Ok gemme a min

[dim tusk]

I missed an s in the includeLiquidBlock

[scarlet sable]

what's your point? lol

nvm my script is working lol

[fallow rivet]

Hmm

Why are you doing this?

[scarlet sable]

I think there's a problem with the dynamic property

[scarlet sable]

a project

[fallow rivet]

Something like what?

[scarlet sable]

it's kinda obvious lol

making a thirst system

I thought it would be could to have the ability to directly drink water

[fallow rivet]

Hmm

[scarlet sable]

hmm what?

sus

[fallow rivet]

It looks nice

[scarlet sable]

ty

[fallow rivet]

😉

I love looking at what people do with scripts.

[scarlet sable]

ahh I see

fair

[distant gulch]

Same, currently im trying to do a Tower Defense just via Script

[scarlet sable]

like a turrets??

[distant gulch]

Yes

Little "turrets" with mobs on it

Ice Bear is* like a freeze-tower

[scarlet sable]

that's interesting

[scarlet sable]

you have ss?

[distant gulch]

"ss" ?

[distant gulch]

^ ??

[subtle cove]

ScreenShot...

[distant gulch]

ohhh

[distant gulch]

Nope, im still working on the structure of the code to make it very perfomant

I need a good sytem for the Enemies path system...

Anyone good ideas?

[timber frigate]

Hello guys. When I add "minecraft/server-ui" module, it gives me that error: [Scripting][verbose]-Plugin [BEHAVIOR PACK NAME] - promoted [@minecraft/server] from [1.3.0] to [1.16.0] requested by [@minecraft/server-ui - 1.3.0].

[scarlet sable]

use the vanilla ui

[distant gulch]

I mean for the back end stuff

Like code, not visuals

[scarlet sable]

mhm

no idea what you mean

[distant gulch]

The Calculation of it

Image you have 1000 Enemies, somehow it needs to be perfomant

so i need a good system

Every enemy follows a path, so they need to walk to the current path-point, and this needs to be perfomant

[scarlet sable]

I can't

neither can my pc lmao

[distant gulch]

yep..

i need to model my own entity so it will be more perfomant

[drowsy scaffold]

t

YES i finally got space

[dawn zealot]

anyone know how i would apply knockback to entities?

[drowsy scaffold]

entity.applyKnockback(directionX, directionY, horizontalStrength, verticalStrength)

[dawn zealot]

i trie that but it didnt do nun

well nvm now it wants to work lmao

ty

[drowsy scaffold]

ope okay

yep

the way this game stores cooldowns for damage is SO weird

[dawn zealot]

?

[drowsy scaffold]

like when doing damage to something

[dawn zealot]

o

i have my own damage system

[drowsy scaffold]

same

[drowsy scaffold]

I was in the proccess of making one without using scoreboards or anything like that via API calls and turns out damage is stored per-value, meaning Math.random() damage on a entityHitEntity event gives no hit cooldown time lmao

it's so stupid

[dawn zealot]

my system is just hella scalable

good for my rpg style stuff

[drowsy scaffold]

someone wanted to be able to multiply/divide damage as needed but didn't wanna do scoreboard / rpg style and I was messing with that and discovered it

[dawn zealot]

yeah my code is a mess lmao

for example 😭

that passive mode shit idek how it works i just made it

[remote oyster]

You should try to stick with let and const when declaring variables and avoid using var. It's basically legacy code and mostly kept around for backward compatibility.

[dawn zealot]

i use var for after the if's

otherwise it errors

[remote oyster]

Because you have to declare the variable before the statement with let then use the variable to define it so it's accessible outside the if statement.

let example = false;
if (player.hasTag("idk") {
    example = true;
}
console.log(example);

[cold grove]

why

const hasThisTag = player.hasTag('thisTag')

[dawn zealot]

eh it dont matter it works the same idrc

[remote oyster]

Just trying to teach you some knowledge.

[dim tusk]

send bp manifest

[misty pivot]

what's a job?

i mean like in system

system.runJob

[drowsy scaffold]

it's a part of generator functions, used most commonly for filling large areas of blocks at once

[misty pivot]

ohh, i see

i've used runInterval for generating small terrain, it lags a lot

does job do a better... job?

[valid ice]

It splits up the work over multiple ticks, lightening the load on the server

[drowsy scaffold]

and supports yeild statements so you can choose to split it up as you please

ah i see thanks

[dim tusk]

nvm, it's not actually a problem since the console it says verbose

like success thingy

[timber frigate]

What does it means? "verbose"

[dim tusk]

successful to run or successful progress

[timber frigate]

Hmm, but do you know why is this advice for? What does it mean?

[dim tusk]

your script doesn't really have a problem, also I think that only shows up when you gui on load option on and selected the type of error to be Verbose

[timber frigate]

Thanks a lot

[distant gulch]

please use objects...

[dim tusk]

ngl. That's looks funny

[dim tusk]

fuck mentality be like:

[true isle]

is their any way to interact with a dispensor and get if the item being dispensed is bonemeal? im not finding anything yet

[dim tusk]

I don't think there is.

[knotty plaza]

You could listen to the entitySpawn event and check the item's velocity

If the block in that direction is a dispenser then thats it

[edgy elm]

hi here. Is it possible to detect the player spawnpoint? like the bed spawn

[dim tusk]

Yeah. Player.getSpawnPoint()

[edgy elm]

thank u so much!!

[glacial widget]

anyone know anti horion crash for bds servers?

[untold magnet]

world.afterEvents.itemReleaseUse.subscribe(({source: player, itemStack, useDuration}) => {
  const hat = player.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Head')?.typeId === 'exe_heads:fletcher_hat';
  if (!hat) return;
  if (hat && itemStack?.typeId === 'minecraft:bow' && useDuration <= 0.1) world.sendMessage('Works?');
})```isnt working?

[dim tusk]

try to console the duration

[untold magnet]

i will.

[untold magnet]

console.warn(useDuration)?

[stark kestrel]

which server hosting has BDS softwares?

any ideas?

[untold magnet]

71997 is 0.1s
so i should make it like so: if (useDuration <= 71997) {***}

[dim tusk]

i guess so?

[untold magnet]

yah it works now

I'll do 71995

[dim tusk]

kinda confusing since iirc the docs say that it's based on ticks but 71997 is an hour if my math is correct

[untold magnet]

look at the logs,

tick-72000 is the start, bows can shoot arrows from tick-71997, so i will use tick-71995

anyways

[dim tusk]

Ahhh. That's why, I'm confused asf like, what?

[untold magnet]

Math.floor(Math.min(4) && Math.max(7)) will pick a random number from 4 to 7 ?

player.addEffect('speed', TicksPerSecond * Math(thing), {amplifier: 1})

[dim tusk]

no.

[untold magnet]

( showcasing my Math skills )

[dim tusk]

you used && if I'm correct it will get the second, so the value returns is 7

[dim tusk]

Math.floor(Math.random() * (7 - 4 + 1)) + 4;```

[untold magnet]

it will works for addEffect right?

[dim tusk]

yeah? I mean why not?

[untold magnet]

it works but,

it should at least give u 3s of speed,

not 0.1s

player.addEffect('speed', TicksPerSecond * Math.floor(Math.random() * (7 - 4 + 1)) + 4, {amplifier: 1})

[dim tusk]

I assume the TicksPerSecond returns 20 already since it's a built in on the server module

[untold magnet]

Min time: 3
Max time: 7

its giving me from 0.1s up to 4s as the max value

[dim tusk]

player.addEffect('speed', 20 * (Math.floor(Math.random() * (7 - 4 + 1)) + 4), { amplifier: 1 });
Not a big difference (I think) since I just added () also make sure you are not looping it since it will obviously generate a new value each time

[untold magnet]

it works now,

[untold magnet]

this is how it works:

[chilly fractal]

A* maybe?

[chilly fractal]

Ain't an error.

[dim tusk]

that beat in the mid part is crazy.

TU TU TU TU TU

[chilly fractal]

Fr, I'm vibing to it

[distant tulip]

there is some components that might help
make the entity target an invisible one either by making it hostile towards it or taming it to it
you can also use go to block thing

[chilly fractal]

Yeah i guess

I'm just suggesting a good pathfinding algorithm

[dim tusk]

guys, I'm starting to be old

[distant gulch]

A?

[distant tulip]

A* algorithm

[distant gulch]

Oh my bad, does some exists like Minato said entity.goToBlock ?

Wait that wouldnt be a good solution because the enemies arent a constant speed (due some slowned by an Ice Tower)

[distant tulip]

nox have an example in his github for A* algo

[distant gulch]

Can you send me the Link? Im on phone rn

[distant tulip]

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

[distant gulch]

Thanks

[grim raft]

yo

[dawn zealot]

Hey if it works and theres no bugs then thats good enough for me

[grim raft]

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe((damagingEntity) => {
    const itemStack = damagingEntity.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment("Mainhand")
    const itemUsing = itemStack?.typeId == 'bleach:zanpakuto_2'
    const score = world.scoreboard.getObjective('z2_charge')

for some reason the 1st line says its not a function

the itemStack one

[dawn zealot]

isnt it mainhand or main_hand

I might be trippin tho

[dim tusk]

You're tripping

[dim tusk]

that part I don't agree

[dawn zealot]

well the world isnt laggy at all even with tons of NPC's and constant code running soo 🤷‍♂️

[dim tusk]

if you keep insisting that your code works fine do it on large projects cause you'll notice the difference, yes not right now but using objects let and const is way better that vars and using multiple if stamenents

[dawn zealot]

i mean i can screenshare if youd like to see it

[dim tusk]

No need.

And why?

[dawn zealot]

i mean wouldnt mind showing the server off + you obv know how to optimize code better so wouldnt mind some tips

[grim raft]

anyone pls

[dim tusk]

like... I already told you how to optimize it 😭 use objects, let and const and less variable calls or if stamenents

[dawn zealot]

send a pic of the content log

[dawn zealot]

bro i have thousands of if statements 😭

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({ damagingEntity, hitEntity }) => {

});```

that's how you destruct

[grim raft]

wait but I didnt use it

[dim tusk]

nvm I'm blind asf

[alpine ibex]

Crazy

[dim tusk]

Tho it's still not valid

[grim raft]

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: not a function at <anonymous> (main.js:73)

[fallow rivet]

[dawn zealot]

well then the entity isnt defined

[dim tusk]

damagingEntity.damagingEntity.getCompo...

[grim raft]

its reffering to this
const itemStack = damagingEntity.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment("Mainhand")

[grim raft]

hmm

HUH

it worked

[dawn zealot]

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((data) => {
    const hitEntity = data.hurtEntity
    const attacker = data.damageSource.damagingEntity
    const cause = data.damageSource.cause
    const { x, y, z } = hitEntity.location

})
``` i use this, use it if you want

[dawn zealot]

yippie

[grim raft]

OH

SO THAT WHY IT BROKE

[dawn zealot]

?

[grim raft]

forgot to readd data

[dawn zealot]

uh

[grim raft]

it was working before but modified it

[dim tusk]

because you defined the damagingEntity as a event name

You got confused

[grim raft]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-fennec-fox-brain-less-gif-1694837592568235329

[dim tusk]

that's why use short names like ev or e

[dawn zealot]

oh how i love errors

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(ev => {
   const { damagingEntity, hitEntity } = ev;
});

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({ damagingEntity, hitEntity }) => {
});```

[grim raft]

was doing that before but changed it

[drowsy scaffold]

from what library can I import Vector3 from? I need the class itself to build prototypes on

[grim raft]

forgot why

[open urchin]

it's not a class, it's a typescript interface

[dim tusk]

I dunno which one you mean since I made two scrips there lmfao

[grim raft]

1st one

[open urchin]

if you're using ts you can do this for types

class Vector implements Vector3 {}

[grim raft]

then changed it to 2nd

[dim tusk]

DAYUM

[drowsy scaffold]

ah okay, that's why I can't find it

[dim tusk]

send your script in my dms

[dawn zealot]

😭

[dim tusk]

-# or here just choose lmfao

[dawn zealot]

join vc so i can show

[dim tusk]

-# I don't vc... I'm scared 😟

[dawn zealot]

brehhhh

[grim raft]

wait how u can make too many ifs more compact

[dim tusk]

I'll joined VC but I won't talk lol

[dawn zealot]

(its mainly cuz i wanna show off my realm cuz ye)

alr

[dim tusk]

use switch or make a map

Tho it always depends what you are doing

[grim raft]

will chack them ty

[drowsy scaffold]

for an inventory shorthand like entity.inventory, should it return the container property or just the actual inventory component itself?

[wary edge]

Inventory.

[drowsy scaffold]

I was thinking the same thing since the user may want other properties but I know that it's also most commonly used for getting items so that's why I wasn't sure

[distant tulip]

anyone have a function to turn vector3 to rotation

[wary edge]

Madlad has a math library in #1067535712372654091

[distant tulip]

thanks

[true isle]

Well that's lame. Was working on block that works like nylium and that's the only thing g I can't do lol

[untold magnet]

hmm,

[wheat condor]

Minato should be scripting leader

[distant tulip]

nah, i have a habit of trying to help even if i don't know shit

[wheat condor]

Trying is always better than not even try

(Sorry for my bad English)

[untold magnet]

sup budd, ( i need a little bit of help )

dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack(wools.forEach(itemStack), 1), loc); this should spawn one item from the IDs in the index right?

[wheat condor]

Nope

[untold magnet]

const wools = ['id', 'id2'];
***
dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack(wools.forEach(itemStack), 1), loc);```for a better view

[wheat condor]

Dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack(wools[parseInt(Math.random * wools.lenght)]))

[wary edge]

parse int seems really unnecessary when you can just do math.round or floor.

[untold magnet]

Math.random() * wools.lenght ?

[wheat condor]

Just a method it’s the same

[wary edge]

Preferences.

[wheat condor]

Random picks an item from the array

Math random returns a random number between 0-1

[untold magnet]

ik

[wheat condor]

Yeah I just forgot ()

[warm drum]

hi

is there a way to smoothly move the player from point A to point B

i tried teleport by a small distance but it locks the camera, also the whole journey is nothing but smooth

[sharp elbow]

If the player themselves must move, I would try having them ride an entity, then teleport/push that entity.

Otherwise I would look into using the /camera command or its API equivalent.

[warm drum]

Camera doesnt work right?

Since its override the player camera

[sharp elbow]

Well yea, that's the idea. That solution would be ideal if you don't care about the player's camera (that is, you need the player's view to move smoothly, for e.g. a cutscene)

You were not very specific what this was for, so I'm only offering general solutions.

[distant tulip]

applyknockback also work. in the video i am moving the player by a small knockback in an interval until he reach the hook

[untold magnet]

dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack(wools[parseInt(Math.random() * wools.lenght)], 1), loc);

[wheat condor]

This means that wools isn’t an id of an item

That’s up to you to edit wools

[untold magnet]

const wools = ['minecraft:black_wool', 'minecraft:blue_wool', 'minecraft:brown_wool', 'minecraft:cyan_wool', 'minecraft:gray_wool', 'minecraft:green_wool', 'minecraft:light_blue_wool', 'minecraft:light_gray_wool', 'minecraft:lime_wool', 'minecraft:magenta_wool', 'minecraft:orange_wool', 'minecraft:pink_wool', 'minecraft:purple_wool', 'minecraft:red_wool', 'minecraft:white_wool', 'minecraft:yellow_wool'];

[wary edge]

Length, not lenght

[untold magnet]

( i didn't write it, @-carchi77 he did)

[wary edge]

And I'm telling you your mistake.

[untold magnet]

@wary edge i just copied it from his message :v

[wary edge]

And I'm telling you what to fix.

[dull shell]

can I make custom enchants? like with a book and stuff

[dim tusk]

nope.

guys why it throws an error can't getProperty on entity.

I'm using projectileHitEntity I have this
const type = projectile?.getProperty('coddy:type') ?? 'poke_ball'

[dull shell]

okay thank you! also is there anyway to make it where a block was broken another is placed?

import { world, ItemStack } from "@minecraft/server"

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(event => {
    if (event.block.typeId == "minecraft:wheat") {
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("execute @s ~~~ execute @e[c=1,type=item,name=\"Wheat\"] ~~~ detect ~~~ air 0 setblock ~~~ wheat"); 
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("execute @s ~~~ execute @e[c=1,type=item,name=\"Wheat\"] ~~~ give @p wheat 1"); 
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("execute @s ~~~ execute @e[c=1,type=item,name=\"Wheat\"] ~~~ kill @s"); 
        }
    }
)``` 
I have this but it spawns wheat 1 block in the air and doesnt always replant

[true isle]

Check the location of the block broken and spawn it at that location

[dull shell]

thank you

import { world, ItemStack } from "@minecraft/server"

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(event => {
    if (event.block.typeId == "minecraft:wheat") {
            let block = event.block;
            let player = event.player;
            let location = block.location;
        
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("execute @s ~~~ execute @e[c=1,type=item,name=\"Wheat\"] ~~~ setblock ${location.x} ${location.y} ${location.z} wheat"); 
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("execute @s ~~~ execute @e[c=1,type=item,name=\"Wheat\"] ~~~ give @p wheat 1"); 
            event.player?.runCommandAsync("execute @s ~~~ execute @e[c=1,type=item,name=\"Wheat\"] ~~~ kill @s"); 
        }
    }
)```

reason for this?

[distant tulip]

change "..." to `...`
and not '...'

[dull shell]

where with my commands?

my commands work with the "." its just the ${location.x}

etc

[distant tulip]

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

[sweet seal]

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ itemStack, source }) => {
  if (itemStack.typeId !== "minecraft:chest_minecart" || source.typeId !== "minecraft:player") return;

  const itemComp = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:display_name");
  if (!itemComp) return;

  const itemName = itemComp.data;

  switch (itemName) {
    case "test":
      source.sendMessage("test");
      break;
  }
});

whats wrong

[dim tusk]

1. Don't use AI if ever
2. it's itemStack.nameTag it returns undefined if the item is not read at all.

[dim tusk]

guys.

world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.subscribe(ev => {
   const { source, projectile } = ev
   cosnt hitEntity = ev.getEntityHit()?.entity;
   cosnt type = projectile?.getProperty('coddy:type') ?? 'poke_ball';
});```

it throws an error that I can't get the property

[wary edge]

Because the projectilr is already gone.

[dim tusk]

oh yeah, I'm fuckin stupid. I'll just make that it doesn't destroy on hit

thanks smokey

[umbral dune]

Is it possible to add dynamic properties to blocks like chests, barrels and doors?

[drowsy scaffold]

you could store a dynamic property on that location specifically, but not on blocks as far as I was aware of

[umbral dune]

close enough, thanks

How would I do this?

[dim tusk]

the name is the location as what he/she said
world.setDynamicProperty(Object.values(block.location).join(','), <value>)

the object value will return x,y,z I'm just too lazy to manually show the seperation one

[dim tusk]

That works it's up to you

[umbral dune]

thank you, I was waiting for some method, but thank you!

[umbral dune]

how to show text above the hotbar, just like when you hold an item?

[umbral dune]

How do I check if the chest placed by the player has connected to another chest?

[wheat condor]

It was a sample to give you the idea, i just misstyped

[scarlet sable]

Is it necessary to have all the functions in the entry file?

[thorn flicker]

no.

why would it be

[scarlet sable]

Idk I just thought it was lol

So any .js file works fine?

[thorn flicker]

you can have functions in any file, just import it to the entry or a file thats imported to it already.

[scarlet sable]

Ahh

What scripts tho

Like world.afterEvents

[thorn flicker]

what?

[scarlet sable]

Like do they work in any file

Sorry if my communication skills are bad lol

[thorn flicker]

you just need to import it to the entry so it can work.

[scarlet sable]

Yep that's what I meant to ask

It has to be imported

[sterile epoch]

where is the world initialise before event on the Microsoft docs

I can't find it

bruh I'm mad confused

[somber cedar]

Use this from now on https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.WorldBeforeEvents.html#worldinitialize

[sterile epoch]

ok thanks but why was it removed from the Microsoft docs?

is it getting removed or sum

[fallow rivet]

Which event do you use?

[umbral dune]

before events, playerInteractWithBlock

[fallow rivet]

Hmm

I guess you can't find a solution to this.

[distant gulch]

Minecraft needs Perfomance upates.. even Java run better on 120 FPS with 80+ Mods

[distant tulip]

client side desync
you can't fix it

[distant gulch]

Isnt it because Minecraft Scripts are capped (or running on..) 20 TPS but the Game can do more

[umbral dune]

Doesn't mcbe have something like this natively?

[distant tulip]

could be, but i had a similar problem where the door stay open in client and the server say it is closed

[distant gulch]

hmm okay

[distant tulip]

@inland merlin had the same thing, i thing he solved it with a tp away from the door

[umbral dune]

-# Will we have client-side scripting someday? 😢

i want to make an ip ban but idk how

and even with the docs idk how can i do that

[distant gulch]

I dont think that's possible

[fast lark]

yes it is

ive seen server that do that

and a random here told me is possible

[remote oyster]

It's not possible to use only the API's. You need other resources beyond just the API.

[umbral dune]

exposing players IP is not a very good idea

[honest spear]

damn who created such a good editor!

[distant gulch]

...

[honest spear]

ohh its using VSCode under the hood

[fast lark]

i dont trust chat gpt

[distant gulch]

then dont

[fast lark]

lol

[honest spear]

AI is dump asf, but it helps writing meanless documentations so its kind useful for that

or for searchnig and explaining things

[distant gulch]

he wrote me a working code

[fast lark]

recently cht gpt only gave me working code idk how and why

but i appreciate it

[distant gulch]

He can search in the internet now

so he can take a look over the docs

and writing you working code

[fast lark]

oh nice

[distant gulch]

but i just use him for math

[fast lark]

wait i want to test deep seek

[remote oyster]

ChatGPT is a tool. Not a magic wand. How you communicate with it will determine the results it returns to you. It's also designed to learn about you as you communicate with it. So the more you use it the more it becomes familiarized with what your intentions are.

[distant tulip]

lol, it is just monaco editor

[slow walrus]

(which is the VSCode editor)

[distant tulip]

i know

idk why auto complete don't work with some stuff tho
like getComponent functions

[granite badger]

The mapping is not in stable

[distant tulip]

oh
thanks it is showing now

[untold magnet]

it is possible to detect when the player killed a mob, but i have no idea how,
i think by using the entityDie component, right?

[solar dagger]

Woah what are you using for that page format? Is that VSC?

[proud saddle]

limit of records dynamic properties per minute concerns only one entity or all

[distant tulip]

yeah, just pushed the page to github btw
you can try it out
https://minato-mba.github.io/web-apps/web-editor.html

[proud saddle]

[solar dagger]

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({damageSource,deadEntity:victim})=> {
    const source = damageSource.damagingEntity;
    if (!source) return;
    if (source.typeId == 'minecraft:player' && source.hasTag('goldRush')) {
      const victimLocation = victim.location;
      const goldItem = new ItemStack('minecraft:gold_ingot', 1);
      source.dimension.spawnItem(goldItem,victimLocation);
    }
});

[untold magnet]

right now, i am trying to detect the deadEntity family type

i think via getComponent('type_family')

[solar dagger]

uh im not sure if that's a thing

hold up

[wary edge]

Well, it's dead so it's removed.

[untold magnet]

what I'm trying to do:
detecting if the player killed a monster type of entities, so i have to use beforrEvent right?

[solar dagger]

victim.getComponent('minecraft:type_family')?.hasTypeFamily('monster');

[untold magnet]

ya i see

[solar dagger]

i didnt know that was a thing xD

[untold magnet]

but i have to use beforrEvent so i can detect it before it dies

[distant tulip]

maybe use entity remove event
it have a before event

[solar dagger]

Why do you need to detect it before death?

[untold magnet]

the family type, detecting if i am killing a monster or not.

[solar dagger]

Wouldn't you use the entityHit?

[woven loom]

oh how that works

[untold magnet]

too much unnecessary work ig

lemme see if it works first.

[thorn flicker]

try the matches method instead

[distant tulip]

fetched the types files and included them from the site cache using monaco addExtraLib function

[thorn flicker]

entity.matches({families: ['family']})

[proud saddle]

?

[untold magnet]

:D

[solar dagger]

was that the death event?

[untold magnet]

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ deadEntity: eEntity, damageSource }) => {
  const source = damageSource.damagingEntity;
  if (source?.typeId !== 'minecraft:player') return;
  const hat = source.getComponent('equippable')?.getEquipment('Head')?.typeId === 'exe_heads:witch_hat';
  if (!hat) return;
  const monster = eEntity.getComponent('type_family')?.hasTypeFamily('monster');
  if (monster) world.sendMessage('Work?');
});;```

[solar dagger]

[amber granite]

Question

Is there anyone here that knows little bit about roblox programming?

[umbral dune]

offtopic

[amber granite]

Nah i just wanted to know if it uses JavaScript

Or not :-:

That s all :-:

[wary edge]

That's still off topic lol.

[random flint]

There's Google.

[umbral dune]

Do you know the playerPlaceBlock event? How do I check if I placed a chest, and if that chest connected to another, forming a double chest?

[amber granite]

Hmm :
Idea 1 : i think there type id for connected chests

Idea 2 : using runTimeout

[umbral dune]

I don't think so

[wary edge]

You'll need to check the neighbouring block.

[amber granite]

What if the neighbour block was connected already?

[umbral dune]

but then I would have to check if the neighboring chest is not already connected

[amber granite]

Hmm , make worldDynmaic proprety then

Save chests location

[drowsy scaffold]

would the connecting chest increase the inventory slot size? depending on how that works and when the event fires you could use that

[amber granite]

Make a logic to detect if two chests places to each others

[distant tulip]

what does container.size return for double chest?

[amber granite]

In the same pov

[umbral dune]

is that I need the location of the second chest

[drowsy scaffold]

you wouldn't need the location of the second chest, if that's what your asking

if you're saying you need it to be returned though that's a different thing

[distant tulip]

a chest next to a chest don't mean they are connected

[amber granite]

Yeah make :-: dynamic proprety , and put inside it object like that :

let object =
{ location : block.location , direction : "east  or , west , north ,or  south" } ;

Then make ur logic compare between faces and location of two chests

And that s it...

If there was no easy way to do it...

[drowsy scaffold]

could false-fire if there's three consecutive chests in a a row all oriented the same way

[amber granite]

And add logic to remove the detected ones

[distant tulip]

that is not enough
you can't check for connected chest, i looked into this for a while

[amber granite]

Did u try :-: the logic first ,_,

U didn't:-: so u won't know .___.

[distant tulip]

i even fired a ray in the middle of the two sides hoping to get a result but it passed through them

[distant tulip]

"the logic"?

[amber granite]

._. code i mean

[umbral dune]

-# why?

[amber granite]

Yep , but code will recognise , pair chests

Like :-:

[distant tulip]

how

[amber granite]

Add a counter there ,_,

[drowsy scaffold]

I just presented a case where it could false-fire? literally the image above

[drowsy scaffold]

what's the plan if someone places a chest in the middle of the two like I did?

[umbral dune]

I can't understand kiro

[open urchin]

there is no way to check that a chest is connected since that is stored in the block entity which we don't have access to

[amber granite]

._. , i think i must write the code , to make my idea more clear

[drowsy scaffold]

uh sure you do you pal

[distant tulip]

yeah

[amber granite]

Yeah ik :-:

[umbral dune]

oh, I had forgotten about that

[amber granite]

.__. maybe i m bad in explaing things

But i m sure i can write correct code the detect this

[drowsy scaffold]

container.size does work

well no it doesn't because you still could have cases where it false fires

how are we all getting stumped by connected chests lmao

[sharp elbow]

I imagine a double chest would still have a container size of 27 slots for both chests. Each chest holds its own inventory, it only merges the two in the UI

[amber granite]

Hmm :-: let's use our brains

What is the special thing about connected chests

That make it easy for us to detect it

[umbral dune]

makes sense since the content is separated when you break one of the sides

[drowsy scaffold]

https://medal.tv/games/minecraft/clips/jCdDLJ34GwHBZD7gx?invite=cr-MSx3M1IsMzA1OTY0OTc3LA

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(({player, block})=>{
    if (block.typeId !== "minecraft:chest") return
    const inventory = block.getComponent(`inventory`).container
    console.log(inventory.size)
})

[amber granite]

So i can send the code here ._. but i can't try it

Who will try it ?

[sharp elbow]

Would you look at that, I was wrong

[umbral dune]

just send it

[distant tulip]

the blocks share the same tile entity

[amber granite]

Ok

[drowsy scaffold]

I'm pretty sure there's no way to 100% accurately detect it through API

like getting the secondary chests' location

[distant tulip]

what are the cases?

[drowsy scaffold]

if a player places the chests like I do in the video and the right side is checked first instead of the left it would "technically" be a double chest since they both have container sizes of 54 but aren't connected

actually maybe not if you stored them as a connected chest in a dynamic property

[distant tulip]

you mean marking that location as single chest?

[drowsy scaffold]

kinda, gimme a minute to make code for this because now I'm invested lmao

[umbral dune]

imagine creating a property for every placed chest...

[distant tulip]

kiro made a chunk loader that store location of every block that need to be loaded

[amber granite]

:-:

No

[amber granite]

☠️ he didn't work tho

[umbral dune]

dear God lmao

[amber granite]

Anyways. I found a way

Hmm @umbral dune how do u want the detection to be ?

[sterile epoch]

how do i make a chat relay system

r there any tutorials

[umbral dune]

just stop, kiro

[amber granite]

._. - no , i ll send the code then stop

I already finish it

[umbral dune]

you have already helped a lot

[umbral dune]

discord to mc chat?

[sterile epoch]

yes

I've seen people do it but idk how to start it

[umbral dune]

I like the idea, I'll research it

[drowsy scaffold]

it's with discord.js and minecraft protocol bots, they're pretty fun to make for the first time

[sterile epoch]

can you elaborate

Minecraft protocol bots?

[umbral dune]

so i don't need to host a url to receive discord messages and send them to the mc dedicated server?

[sharp elbow]

I suppose you could use PlayerPlaceBlockAfterEvent and PlayerInteractWithBlockBeforeEvent to determine if a freshly placed chest connects with an existing chest.

[drowsy scaffold]

you could do this, yeah

[olive rapids]

Does anyone know how to import this?

const r = 1; //radius to check for blocks, adjust it until it make sense
const targetBlock = "minecraft:gold_block"; //block to detect
const soundEffect = "random.orb"; //sound to play
const objective = "pacman" // Tu scoreboard


system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        const { x, y, z } = player.location;
        for (let dx = -r; dx <= r; dx++) {
            for (let dy = -r; dy <= r; dy++) {
                for (let dz = -r; dz <= r; dz++) {
                    const block = player.dimension.getBlock({ x: x + dx, y: y + dy, z: z + dz });

                    if (block && block.typeId == targetBlock) {
                        player.playSound(soundEffect)
                        world.scoreboard.getObjective(objective).addScore(player, 1)
                        player.runCommand(`setblock ${block.x} ${block.y} ${block.z} air destroy`)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}, 0);```

[drowsy scaffold]

but you could also do it the other way I was talking about

[umbral dune]

I can't understand difficult words, or I just don't know what protocol bots are

[drowsy scaffold]

it's a node.js project that someone made to allow actual bots that can read/write game packets to be loaded into realms/dedicated servers

[umbral dune]

may i see the github?

[drowsy scaffold]

https://github.com/PrismarineJS/node-minecraft-protocol?tab=readme-ov-file

anyway back to the chests

I found a solution

https://medal.tv/games/minecraft/clips/jCdXH3lazgluetcBf?invite=cr-MSxTWDEsMzA1OTY0OTc3LA

const connectedChests = new Map()
//using maps so I don't have to clear a bunch of dynamic properties after this

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(({player, block})=>{
    if (block.typeId !== "minecraft:chest") return
    const inventorySize = block.getComponent(`inventory`).container.size
    const surroundingBlocks = [block.east(),block.west(),block.north(),block.south()]
    for (const otherBlock of surroundingBlocks){
        if (otherBlock?.typeId !== "minecraft:chest" || connectedChests.get(otherBlock) !== undefined) continue
        const blockSize = block.getComponent(`inventory`).container.size
        if (blockSize == 27 || blockSize !== inventorySize) continue
        connectedChests.set(otherBlock, block)
        connectedChests.set(block, otherBlock)
        break
    }
    const connectedChest = connectedChests.get(block)
    if (connectedChest !== undefined){
        console.log(`chest at ${JSON.stringify(block.location)} is connected to chest at ${JSON.stringify(connectedChest.location)}`)
    }
})

you could probably optimize that further but that seemed to work every time I used it

[sharp elbow]

Where is connectedChests defined?

[drowsy scaffold]

ah it's a map outside of it, hang on

there it is

[distant tulip]

there isn't really any edge case

[drowsy scaffold]

huh, we basically got the same code with different steps, yours is more thorough for visuals though by far

[sharp elbow]

I'm working on a solution that requires no storage

[amber granite]

:-:

[drowsy scaffold]

ping me in it when you have it, I'm invested in this now

[amber granite]

I was working on it too

[sharp elbow]

It's gonna be chunky though

[amber granite]

._.

:-bruh i m dumb:

._. there is better logic for all of this

Ok ,
Let s detect the two block beside it from west and south and east and north

[distant tulip]

you need to add "minecraft:cardinal_direction" check btw

[drowsy scaffold]

that's a component? mannnn I wish I knew that

[umbral dune]

I can't just use npm modules in my addon, right?

[distant tulip]

direction state

[amber granite]

What s that ?

[umbral dune]

is a block state

[amber granite]

._. and ?

[umbral dune]

I think you can check the value using <block>.permutation.getState("minecraft:cardinal_direction")

[amber granite]

:-: i mean i don't know what it used for

[distant tulip]

to check chest direction and avoiding another edge case

@drowsy scaffold
my approach

function getDoubleChest(block) {
    if (block.typeId !== "minecraft:chest") return undefined;
    
    const inventory = block.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container;
    if (!inventory || inventory.size !== 54) return undefined;

    const direction = block.permutation.getState("minecraft:cardinal_direction");
    if (!direction) return undefined;

    const checkDirs = direction === "north" || direction === "south" 
        ? ["east", "west"] 
        : ["north", "south"];

    for (const dir of checkDirs) {
        const neighbor = block[dir]();
        if (neighbor?.typeId === "minecraft:chest") {
            const neighborDir = neighbor.permutation.getState("minecraft:cardinal_direction");
            const neighborInventory = neighbor.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container;
            if (neighborDir === direction && neighborInventory?.size === 54) {
                return [block, neighbor];
            }
        }
    }

    return undefined;
}

[sharp elbow]

How does it perform in this situation, with placing the chest in the middle of these two?

Depends on orientation too, be sure to try all four cardinal directions

Unless, is that covered by north and east appearing first in checkDirs?

That is pretty straightforward. I was trying to perform the checks in BeforeEvent, before the placed chest could merge

[amber granite]

Here my approach< i m working on its code >

If finsih it

[distant tulip]

actually...
that is the only edge case in my function
if one of the tow chest is double chest, it will fail

[amber granite]

Hmmm a question

[distant tulip]

ask

[slow walrus]

ez fix, just walk along the chests until you find a non double chest

or a diff block

[distant tulip]

yeah, working on it
just have to visualize it for my brain lol

[amber granite]

Ok i found a way

It s pretty simple

And no one can guess it

._. let s count the number or east and west chests

[distant tulip]

what if it just keep going

[amber granite]

And if the number of continuative chests is odd or even

In both directions:-:

And we will know if it s connected or not

If number of west is even and number of east is even = there is chest

If one of them if false there is not

What do u think ? @distant tulip

[sharp elbow]

How do we set a Block to an ID again? I forget

[distant tulip]

chests can be in line without connecting

[amber granite]

._.

[distant tulip]

setType

[amber granite]

,_, the same direction

[distant tulip]

yeah?

[amber granite]

They face the same direction and must be chest type and continuative

If u mean commands :-: we cannot detect that , but better than nothing right ?

[dawn zealot]

Cursed asf

[distant tulip]

kinda

[amber granite]

What is in the picture?

[dawn zealot]

6 chests

[sharp elbow]

I thought this was not possible in Bedrock without cheats?

[distant tulip]

pistons

[sharp elbow]

Ah, I see

[dawn zealot]

Swear you were a mod

[amber granite]

Yeah that s innormal

[wary edge]

I thought shifting place disabled connectedness on BE as well?

[sharp elbow]

I was, at one time

[dawn zealot]

I see

[amber granite]

But i think my idea will work to detecting players

[amber granite]

Wait u can disable connecting by shifting!!!!!?!!!

[open urchin]

only on java

[sharp elbow]

Quick, help me think of edge cases

[amber granite]

Oh god :-:

[wary edge]

Should update my parity site then.

[distant tulip]

place it in the gap

[sharp elbow]

Instructions relatively unclear, I hope I followed them

[distant tulip]

lol, just the tow gaps

try it in the other axes

[sharp elbow]

Seems to be good

Here's my file

@drowsy scaffold

Some of the JSDoc is a bit behind what I implemented ("left and right" became "first and second")

I got a bit lazy at the end and hardcoded the placeAbove conditions

@umbral dune got a potential solution for you

[amber granite]

:-:

What if we combine two of the scripts

Together?

[distant tulip]

seem solid

[drowsy scaffold]

this is solid, you used no additional storage and still accurately counted it out. Nice

[sharp elbow]

Now the question is if someone can write it to be shorter 😎

[distant tulip]

what happen if only one side of the chest is loaded 😅

[sharp elbow]

Not sure. I did not account for LocationInUnloadedChunkErrors

[amber granite]

That s great

[distant tulip]

that
throw Error("Sanity condition");
lol

[sharp elbow]

Theoretically that error should never be thrown, but you never know

[amber granite]

Explain me how ur logic works :-:

[distant tulip]

unless you look into the 4th dimension

[distant tulip]

yeah that player rotation is confusing me

[amber granite]

._. it looks like he uses probabilties

Inside his code

Somehow

[sharp elbow]

It maps the player's y-rotation to the corresponding facing_direction of the chest.
2 means the chest faces north; thus the player must be facing somewhere south (-45..45)
3 means the chest faces south; thus the player must be facing somewhere north (-180..-135, or 135..180)
4 means the chest faces west; thus the player must be facing somewhere east (-135..-45)
5 means the chest faces east; thus the player must be facing somewhere west (45..135)

[amber granite]

._.

[distant tulip]

i mean yeah, but how that help, and why not just get chest dir

[sharp elbow]

The chest does not exist at this time. All of this logic is performed before the chest is placed

rotationToFacing determines what the to-be-placed chest's rotation will be

[amber granite]

.____. my brain hurts

[distant tulip]

use permutationBeingPlaced?

[sharp elbow]

Ah, that's a thing? My typings did not suggest that

[distant tulip]

yeah, also permutation == permutation2, work so no need for get state

nvm, you are using get state for other things

[amber granite]

Hmmm

[distant tulip]

it is beta 🤦‍♂️

damn, even in the latest preview

[sharp elbow]

Before the chest is placed:

1. Find the Block where the chest will be (119).
   const ToBeChest = arg.block[DirMap[arg.blockFace]]();

• This uses a mapping of BlockFace types to a method that grabs the adjacent face, then performs that method on the block.
• The result is essentially the space where the chest will be after this function ends.

2. Find the facing_direction state of the chest that will be placed (120).
   const FacingDir = rotationToFacing(arg.player.getRotation().y);

• This uses a function that returns either 2, 3, 4, or 5 depending on the rotations specified earlier. This matches the values that a chest's facing_direction state can take on.

3. Find the blocks to the left and to the right of the chest (121).
   const {First, Second} = getFirstAndSecond(ToBeChest, FacingDir);

• Based on the facing_direction state of the chest, grab the Blocks to the "left" and "right" of the chest. North is prioritized over South, and East is prioritized over West.

4. Determine if the blocks to the left and right are chests that have not yet been connected (123, 124).
   const FirstValid = isConnectableChest(First, FacingDir);
const SecondValid = isConnectableChest(Second, FacingDir);

• A block is considered to be a connectable chest if: The block is a chest; it faces the same direction as the first chest; and it has an inventory, and its inventory has 27 slots.

5. Determine which of the blocks to the side the original chest will connect to.

if(FirstValid && !SecondValid) {
    placeAbove(ToBeChest), placeAbove(First);
}
if(SecondValid && !FirstValid) {
    placeAbove(ToBeChest), placeAbove(Second);
}
if(FirstValid && SecondValid) {
    placeAbove(ToBeChest), placeAbove(First);
}

• If both the left and right blocks are valid, then we pick the first, which will be the North or East block.

[amber granite]

Elisah , just put a bomb here and left :-:

Wait a min

Double chest

Inventory = ?

I mena double chest slots

[distant tulip]

54

[sharp elbow]

Both chests in a Double Chest arrangement have an inventory size of 54

[amber granite]

I mena in script

I mean in script api

[sharp elbow]

Same there. If you grabbed the "inventory" component of one block in a Double Chest arrangement, it would report 54 slots

[amber granite]

U can detect that with script api ?

Nice

What about one chest ?

[sharp elbow]

A single chest on its own would be 27 slots

[amber granite]

Sure ?

Ok i think i find the solution._.

._.

I ll make a code smaller than yr .___.

Hihihi

[sharp elbow]

What makes this challenging is Bedrock does not expose its connection type as a block state. If we could read this, it would be much simpler

[amber granite]

I see

[sharp elbow]

And I just realized my typing in JSDoc on CardinalLeft was obtuse

could have just done this haha

[amber granite]

Question

[sharp elbow]

Shoot

[amber granite]

When u wrote it

U need to detect or knoe the specific place of connection ?

[sharp elbow]

It is predictive. Based on what we know of chest connection rules, I wrote functions to predict what would happen

[amber granite]

._.

Wasn't the goal , to only detect?

[sharp elbow]

It may have been. In a sense, this does detect it, but through prediction

[amber granite]

,_,

._. wow

[sharp elbow]

I might not be understanding your question fully either

[amber granite]

:-: i mean what they ll use ur code for

To make another event of detecting if chest connected

Or ._.

Another thing

[sharp elbow]

Oh, that I have no idea. I tried to write it generically enough so anyone could adapt it

[amber granite]

Oh

[sharp elbow]

For example, this could be used to prevent players from making double-chests

[amber granite]

That s nice

[sharp elbow]

I think it's kinda pointless actually, lol

[amber granite]

._.

Nah that s good

[sharp elbow]

Hahaha, I found an edge case where it fails @distant tulip

[amber granite]

._.

Ok i think i finished my code

[distant tulip]

damn, lol

[amber granite]

@distant tulip can u try it ?

[distant tulip]

the extend i took to fix mine is just stupid

[distant tulip]

sure

[amber granite]

Ok one min

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

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(({ block }) => { 
    let current_b = block;
    if (block.type !== "minecraft:chest") return;

    let EastConnected = (
        current_b.east().permutation.getState("facing_direction") == current_b.permutation.getState("facing_direction") &&
        current_b.east().getComponent("inventory").container.size == 27 &&
        current_b.east().type == "minecraft:chest"
    ) ? true : false;

    let WestConnected = (
        current_b.west().permutation.getState("facing_direction") == current_b.permutation.getState("facing_direction") &&
        current_b.west().getComponent("inventory").container.size == 27 &&
        current_b.west().type == "minecraft:chest"
    ) ? true : false;

    if (EastConnected || WestConnected) { 
        world.sendMessage("there is a connected chest"); 
    }
});

._. what do u think :-:

[distant tulip]

size() to size

nothing?

[amber granite]

._.

Put !==

Instead of ==

And remove ! From !block

._.

[sharp elbow]

If the container size comparison is !== 27 (i.e. == 54) then I suppose it would return true.

[distant tulip]

changed that and nothing

[drowsy scaffold]

😭the double chest problem optimization is incredible

[amber granite]

._.

Idk :-: if the problem is detecting if chest is connected anymore or not

:-: i can't even debug my code .___.

[sharp elbow]

If the facing direction of both the block and its adjacent block matches, the adjacent block has 54 slots, and the adjacent block is a chest, that is technically the criteria for a chest connecting.

[distant tulip]

here i saved the first slot form the origin block
set that slot to an item with random id
checked for that item in other chests
set the original item back 😅

[amber granite]

._.

[sharp elbow]

What it lacks is detecting if the placed chest has connected to the adjacent chest. That is, the single chest being placed here will also result in a true value

[amber granite]

._. u told me single chest slots are 27

And if we get Inventory components of that double chest we will get 54

Yep ?

Logically, if everything is same direction and the east or west blocks are chests

And slots ._. are 27 , it forces it to be connected

[sharp elbow]

Yes. By the time a function in PlayerPlaceBlockAfterEvent is called, the placed chest will have already merged with another block; so if the placed chest is connected, it will report 54

[amber granite]

Only if.... ,_, there are commands that makes no chest sticks to another

[amber granite]

Oh ☠️

That needs before event then

Lol ._.

[sharp elbow]

I thought so too

[amber granite]

Yay :-: i breaked the rule i made the best chest detector ;-; yay

[sharp elbow]

You gave it a fair shot. Now try with BeforeEvent!

[amber granite]

._. i truly don't have debug tools

I can't test it
