Script API General

[untold magnet]

||trying make u understand how it works and why its not useful on multiplayer||

another explanation:
getPlayers: if one of us touches grass we will die, the script will detect if the player touches grass, all other players will die at the same time, having all players in the same array
but getAllPlayers will make each player have its own array.
( i hope u understand it )

[ivory bough]

Hey is there a way to detect if a player is 1 second away from completing sleep?

[thorn flicker]

stop explaining.

[untold magnet]

idk i haven't done something like it before

[thorn flicker]

I said ill mess with it on my own time.

thank you.

[ivory bough]

Oh

[ivory bough]

Also can you help here?

[undone cradle]

sorry for repeating question
but i couldn't find information about it
from which version minecart start supporting the script modules and scripting in general?

[random flint]

No, both getPlayers and getAllPlayers return the same thing. ( Array of Players )

The only difference is that, getPlayers() can use EntityQueryOptions

If you use .forEach(), it'll do the same thing for both.

What you probably have, causing "not multiplayer friendly" is a logic issue on your part.

[thorn flicker]

that's what im saying

[untold magnet]

that means the code was wrong and i was have to do forEach thing,
understood

[thorn flicker]

you didnt loop through the array?

[untold magnet]

probably

[untold magnet]

hmm

[thorn flicker]

...

[untold magnet]

why i cant detect the pale wolf variant?

[thorn flicker]

idk

[untold magnet]

if (variant?.value === 0) is the pale wolf variant

i tried console.warn it, it says undefined

detecting other variants is fine, but idk why its not the case for the normal pale one

[untold magnet]

i think it just doesn't have a variant type

cuz i did if (!variant) and it works for the pale wolf variant

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[untold magnet]

maybe cuz im on beta

[thorn flicker]

no

sometimes it spawns without the variant component.
just check if its undefined or 0

I spawned a wolf in the swamps and it was default skin, but it says it doesnt have the component.

[untold magnet]

i think cuz its coded to spawn with the variant 0 only inside of some specific biomes

i tried it inside of the desert, its undefined

[thorn flicker]

exactly

[untold magnet]

so yah i should do if (!variant || variant?.value === 0)

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[untold magnet]

that make sense, but mojang doesn't make any sense lol

[spring axle]

I think I make sense

[wary edge]

isValid turned into properties but the BlockIterator uses method in the same preview introduced.

[granite badger]

air being a block

[obsidian coyote]

They were trying to block air

[tidal wasp]

why doesnt the if statement ever return?

even if I go ahead and do console.error(e.block.getTags()) it returns nothing

[cinder shadow]

which statement?

[tidal wasp]

if(e.block.hasTag('beam'))

[cinder shadow]

You need to include the identifier with hasTag

[rose light]

I want to create a system using the JSON UI to display the player's money permanently on the screen.

I have already modified the player's title, but I need a way to attach the money display to the player's screen. My goal is that when I send a message with the title "money," the player will see both the label "money" and their current balance, positioned at a specific offset on the screen.

How can I achieve this?

[tidal wasp]

can you use permutation to place to set multiple permutations to be placed

[drowsy scaffold]

how do I get types for Custom Components? It's a pain to have to search every single component manually

[wary edge]

Just install the npm types?

[drowsy scaffold]

I have the most recent ones

wait I'm probably not using these right

[vestal thorn]

How do you make a mob spawn at a mineshaft, with spawn weight?

[marsh pebble]

I need a drop down menu template with players

[cold grove]

#1067869659757543555 not scripting related

[cold grove]

getPlayers() and Array#map them

const player =....;
cons modal = new ModalFormData();
//etc
const players = player.dimension.getPlayers();
const playerNames = players.map((p) => p.name);

modal.dropdown(...., playerNames);

[dim tusk]

cons

[cold grove]

I will not edit it

[marsh pebble]

fire bro

[vestal thorn]

It is because I want it done using script, it's not possible through normal spawn rules. I've tried

[cold grove]

Did you tried using features?

[tender pier]

Is there a way to rotate or change the position of particles without having to write a function for each direction?

[vestal thorn]

Can it make a mob spawn where a mineshaft is or a least at blocks or on blocks from there(BTW I have tried using "minecraft:spawns_on_block_filter": [], it doesn't work)

I've also made a post of what other ways a mob can spawn from script. That i don't know how to achieve
https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1338641882913312859

[cold grove]

You cant

Just modifying the mineshaft feature

[vestal thorn]

How? Btw are anything in my post possible?

Besides the mineshaft one

[cold grove]

You already have the json spawn rules

[cold grove]

No

[vestal thorn]

Can't you detect a block in the world and do a random chance, to spawn a entity on that location?

[cold grove]

You need to check million of blocks per tick

[vestal thorn]

Or around the player, like how spawn rules work

[cold grove]

Not worth it

Sorry mate

[dim tusk]

You can check but just checking 10 blocks at a time already does TPS drop, so it's worth it

[vestal thorn]

Alright, thats sucks

[vestal thorn]

How do I do that though?

I didn't see a feature file for mineshaft

[celest abyss]

closeAllForms is beta?

[drowsy scaffold]

sounds right, it's still recent so

[dim tusk]

I think it's not.

I maybe wrong

Since iirc I tried closeAllForms in 1.3.0

-# but I have shit memory sooo.

[dawn zealot]

can someone helpies!

how do i drop a players inventory when they leave the game

[drowsy scaffold]

beforeEvents.playerLeave -> Get player inventory and equippable -> iterate through each and get all -> filter and map them after

[dawn zealot]

past step 1 i dont have a clue

[drowsy scaffold]

filter and map afterwards so that you don't risk losing the player instance because if you take too long in the event the player becomes invalid

at least from what I was told

[drowsy scaffold]

getComponents for inventory and equippable?

[dawn zealot]

never used em

[drowsy scaffold]

oh my god

[dawn zealot]

ive never had a need lmao

[drowsy scaffold]

that is seriously impressive considering you own like a very sizable server

[dawn zealot]

this isnt even for me

[drowsy scaffold]

const inventory = player.getComponent(`inventory`).container
const equippable = player.getComponent(`eqippable`)
const eqippableItems = ["Head","Chest","Legs","Feet","Offhand"]

const items = Array.from({length:inventory.size},((_, i) => inventory.getItem(i)))
equippableItems.forEach((item)=> items.push(equippable.getEquipment(item)))

maybe

idk since mapping and foreach off the top of my head without autocomplete is rough but

[dawn zealot]

i understand it all but can u explain array.from?

[drowsy scaffold]

it creates an array based on a property, like what I do with the length

it defines an array of a fixed initial size

[dawn zealot]

so the size of the inventory then

[drowsy scaffold]

and then the second argument is a .map operator, where i take each slot's index and get the corresponding item to it from the player's inventory

[dawn zealot]

gotcha thanks:) understand it now

but 1 more quesiton

how exactly do i drop the item?

[drowsy scaffold]

for (const item of items) {
  player.dimension.spawnItem(item, player.location)
}

[dawn zealot]

U CAN DO THAT?

oh my lifes a lie

[drowsy scaffold]

you may want to save player location and dimension so you can access it after the player becomes invalid

[dawn zealot]

bet

finally a person who gives me an explanation on what things do and doesnt link me a microsfot link that doesnt have what i ask for 🙏

aka smokey cough cough

[drowsy scaffold]

different people learn in different ways, smokey might learn best from source documentation so he refers others to it

nothing wrong with that

[thorn flicker]

reading docs are so tough...

[drowsy scaffold]

Reading docs are tough until they click with you, once you get the moment where it clicks you're basically set

[dawn zealot]

bro seomtimes thyey be yappin tho

ill be reading abut pancakes next minute im talking about nuclear codes

[wary edge]

On my way to delete the Bedrock wiki.

[thorn flicker]

no

please

[dawn zealot]

thanks!

[tidal wasp]

Can someone explain why the if statement in the switch case statement is being ignored

[drowsy scaffold]

whoa now let's talk about this

[tidal wasp]

It will activate place weather im shifting or not

[dawn zealot]

uhh

[wary edge]

I mean...obviously people don't like reading so...

[dawn zealot]

yeah i dont CUZ THEY DONT MAKE SENSE HAFL THE TIME

[drowsy scaffold]

add a default case that logs that logs cardinal direction

[thorn flicker]

I dont know dude, they make sense to me

[drowsy scaffold]

A guide on how to read and interpret documentation would unironically be a good developer resource

[thorn flicker]

funny

[dawn zealot]

do i use runinterval for this orrr

[tidal wasp]

I literally put an if(e.player.isSneaking){ return; } that works in front of that mf and it still happened

[drowsy scaffold]

show me whatcha got

[thorn flicker]

you arent even showing the full code

[dawn zealot]

might help, but i gotta read that so no ty 🤣

[thorn flicker]

you spelled equippable wrong

[tidal wasp]

also the last 3 if else statements will always place the beam down sharing the cardinal permutation of the beam it was placed on

[dawn zealot]

blaming remanxnce for that

🙏

[thorn flicker]

read the code before using it

[dawn zealot]

i did

[thorn flicker]

lol

[drowsy scaffold]

😭 discord code without typescript completions is hard okay

[dawn zealot]

lmao no worries

[drowsy scaffold]

I gotta go sleep now though, it's like 11 for me

[dawn zealot]

also pretty sure i gotta do world.dimension.spawnItem right

[thorn flicker]

getDimension() and no

[dawn zealot]

getdimmension i mean

euyah

yeah

[thorn flicker]

use player's dimension property.

[dawn zealot]

i said it wrong

[drowsy scaffold]

world.getDimension but generally saving player.dimension is better

[dawn zealot]

so i gotta save player.dimension.location?

[valid ice]

Also don’t forget to delay the spawn item, as it’s still in a before event (and definitely counts as modifying the world- aka privilege error)

[dawn zealot]

so runinterval for that right

[drowsy scaffold]

system.run

[thorn flicker]

run

[valid ice]

Or system.run

[drowsy scaffold]

that's what I forgot

[dawn zealot]

o

[valid ice]

System timeout or system run

[drowsy scaffold]

i thought it was too easy

[valid ice]

Not interval, unless you want to spawn in the items every few ticks

[dawn zealot]

oh hell no

[thorn flicker]

that would be funny.

[drowsy scaffold]

basically just wrap the who for-of loop in a system.run()

[dawn zealot]

still got it

[thorn flicker]

you didnt do it correctly then.

show your full code.

[dawn zealot]

no shit sherlock im tryna figure it out

[drowsy scaffold]

before you get any items create a constant for the player's dimension

[dawn zealot]

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

    if (getScore(player, `${config.combatScoreboardObjective}`) >= 1) {

        //Gets the items from the players inventory
        const inventory = player.getComponent(`inventory`).container
        const equippable = player.getComponent(`equippable`)
        const equippableItems = ["Head", "Chest", "Legs", "Feet", "Offhand"]

        //Adds the items to an array
        const items = Array.from({ length: inventory.size }, ((_, i) => inventory.getItem(i)))
        equippableItems.forEach((item) => items.push(equippable.getEquipment(item)))

        //Spawns the items on the location where the player left
        system.run(() => {
            for (const item of items) {
                player.dimension.spawnItem(item, location)
            }
        })
        //Tells the world that this player has left while in combat
        world.sendMessage(`§f${player.name} §dhas left while §cin combat! §7[§b${(getScore(player, `${config.combatScoreboardObjective}`) / 20).toFixed(2)}§3s§7]`)
        player.runCommand(`say test`)
    }
})

[valid ice]

Anything that modifies the world has to be set out of the before events read-only mode

[thorn flicker]

player.runCommand is not wrapped.

[drowsy scaffold]

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

    if (getScore(player, `${config.combatScoreboardObjective}`) >= 1) {

        //Gets the items from the players inventory
        const inventory = player.getComponent(`inventory`).container
        const equippable = player.getComponent(`equippable`)
        const equippableItems = ["Head", "Chest", "Legs", "Feet", "Offhand"]

        //Adds the items to an array
        const items = Array.from({ length: inventory.size }, ((_, i) => inventory.getItem(i)))
        equippableItems.forEach((item) => items.push(equippable.getEquipment(item)))

        //Spawns the items on the location where the player left
        system.run(() => {
            for (const item of items) {
                dimension.spawnItem(item, location)
            }
        })
        //Tells the world that this player has left while in combat
        world.sendMessage(`§f${player.name} §dhas left while §cin combat! §7[§b${(getScore(player, `${config.combatScoreboardObjective}`) / 20).toFixed(2)}§3s§7]`)
    }
})

[dawn zealot]

i just deleted that too i saw that

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(({ player }) => {
    const inventory = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
    const equippable = player.getComponent('equippable');
    const equippableItems = ["Head", "Chest", "Legs", "Feet", "Offhand"];

    const items = [
        ...Array.from({ length: inventory.size }, (_, i) => inventory.getItem(i)),
        ...equippableItems.map(item => equippable.getEquipment(item))
    ];

    system.run(() => {
        items.forEach(item => {
            if (item) player.dimension.spawnItem(item, player.location);
        });
    });
});```

Somewhat like this?

[dawn zealot]

ohhh i get it

[dim tusk]

-# oof I'm late to conversation lmfao

[drowsy scaffold]

yeah basically, though I would do a .filter on the items before it

[thorn flicker]

-# good, you can replace me, I dont want to be here

[random flint]

That only dropped the item, not clear their inventory ;D

[dawn zealot]

it works but got this error

[dim tusk]

FUC- you man.

[dawn zealot]

good point

[thorn flicker]

-# nope, you do this to me, now its your turn, enjoy.

[dawn zealot]

even more to do

kms

[dim tusk]

You can do it using playerSpawn.

[random flint]

Ye ik

[dawn zealot]

pretty sure i already got that system setup

[random flint]

store player.id somewhere ig

[dawn zealot]

so im thinking this error only happens the the item dropping is nothing right?

[drowsy scaffold]

ah because undefined isn't an instance of itemStack

[dawn zealot]

I WAS RIGHT

[drowsy scaffold]

this is what I was talking about when I mentioned filtering it after

[dawn zealot]

LOOK AT ME GO

[dawn zealot]

im still lost

[valid ice]

.filter

[dawn zealot]

yeah but idek what that does

[drowsy scaffold]

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

    if (getScore(player, `${config.combatScoreboardObjective}`) >= 1) {

        //Gets the items from the players inventory
        const inventory = player.getComponent(`inventory`).container
        const equippable = player.getComponent(`equippable`)
        const equippableItems = ["Head", "Chest", "Legs", "Feet", "Offhand"]

        //Adds the items to an array
        const items = Array.from({ length: inventory.size }, ((_, i) => inventory.getItem(i)))
        equippableItems.forEach((item) => items.push(equippable.getEquipment(item)))

        //Spawns the items on the location where the player left
        system.run(() => {
            for (const item of items.filter((itemStack)=>{itemStack !== undefined})) {
                dimension.spawnItem(item, location)
            }
        })
        //Tells the world that this player has left while in combat
        world.sendMessage(`§f${player.name} §dhas left while §cin combat! §7[§b${(getScore(player, `${config.combatScoreboardObjective}`) / 20).toFixed(2)}§3s§7]`)
    }
})

[random flint]

copy array but without the falsy value or specific condition

[drowsy scaffold]

it removes entries from an array that don't match a given condition, like num > 10 would remove anything less then 10 from an array

[dawn zealot]

i see

idk why but i seem to only understand stuff fromr eading code

i hate it

[valid ice]

const words = ['spray', 'elite', 'exuberant', 'destruction', 'present'];

const result = words.filter((word) => word.length > 6);

console.log(result);
// Expected output: Array ["exuberant", "destruction", "present"]

[dawn zealot]

gotcha

[valid ice]

A bit of googling goes a long way 🙂

[drowsy scaffold]

smells like GPT to me (it's okay GPT is good at explaining native method functionality)

[valid ice]

Heck, even AI could help with that, it’s a given js method

[valid ice]

Nah

[drowsy scaffold]

damn, checkmate me I guess😭

alright I'm out though

goodnight people!

[dim tusk]

Ahh, laggy asf.

[dawn zealot]

oh yeah forgot ai exists

[dim tusk]

My goofy ahh will suggest to use dynamic property

[thorn flicker]

great, hes going to use ai now

[dawn zealot]

the filter kinda broke it

it no drop items :(

[random flint]

being able to write dynamicProperty inside beforeEvent is so convenient

[long cargo]

onStepOn: (({ block, entity, dimension }) => {
    const { x, y, z } = block.location;

    block.above().setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(block.typeId, { "chiko:trap_top": true }));
    block.above().setType("chiko:trap");
})

How do I set the state to true?

[valid ice]

Probably still necessary, to log the player leaving before they leave

[random flint]

Yes, spreading unreliable information is my speciality

[dawn zealot]

        system.run(() => {
            for (const item of items.filter((itemStack) => { itemStack !== undefined })) {
                dimension.spawnItem(item, location)
            }
        })
``` this isnt spawning the items when adding the filter and i dont have a scooby doo why

no logs either

wada faq

[dim tusk]

why....this works 😭

[thorn flicker]

that should work, but I would do this instead:

const above = block.above()
above.setPermutation(above.permutation.withState("chiko:trap_top", true))

[dawn zealot]

i already have clear on join system

[dim tusk]

That's not my "problem" I just didn't expect it will work.

[dawn zealot]

oh wait

did ai make it

[dim tusk]

-# I mean the script I just recently sent

[dawn zealot]

lmfao

[dim tusk]

Depends 🤷

[dawn zealot]

take that as a yes

[random flint]

Since when world dynamicProperty can use Array?

[thorn flicker]

Coddy used ai?

woww

[dim tusk]

Yessir.

[dawn zealot]

someone help i beg i just wanna sleep tonight

[dim tusk]

But not chatgpt, I used deepseek

yeah well, nothing you can do about it.

[thorn flicker]

people dont like learning, they just want to quickest way to do stuff, its not about the experience.

[warm mason]

Create a time machine

[random flint]

There's a fun way, there's a quick way. My opinion on learning and AI probably.

[dawn zealot]

i will learn it if it wasnt 4 20 am and i want to sleep

[random flint]

I just learn about labeled break from AI lol. So it do have some merits

[thorn flicker]

I rather fail at something than use ai

[dawn zealot]

i used ai then read the code 💪

ive never even used ai until 10 minutes ago

but will be using it more now

[dim tusk]

ngl, one of my friends thought I'm using ai since when I give a snippet it looks like ai lmfao

I dunno if I should be happy or not.

[dawn zealot]

alright mr smarty pants

Hello Guys

how do i lock an item in slot using scripts

    const steps = Math.max(30, Math.ceil(70 - gravity.value * 3)); //smooth ascent

    // knockback steps
    (function applyKnockbackStep(step) {
        if (step < steps) {
            const progress = step / (steps - 1); // Normalize the step
            const power = initialJumpPower * Math.pow(1 - progress, 5); // Quintic power for verrryyyyyyy gradual reduction

            entity.applyKnockback(vector.x, vector.z, vector.hzPower, power);

            // Schedule the next step

any help with this?

[ivory bough]

How to make my entity ignore enemy's armor resistance when attacking?

[untold magnet]

make ur entity does a 1 heart of damage, and via scripts ( entityHitEntity component ) u can apply damage to the hit entity, afaik applying damage will ignore armor ( correct me if im wrong )

[ivory bough]

But it will make my entity hit two times in a row which will probably be not the best experience for the player

[misty dagger]

I attempted to use async functions for the heaviest parts of my code, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Did they render them basically useless?

I was detecting it by getting the system time before and after and getting the difference. Only an async function call is in between, so it should have been 0 or 1, but it was some larger number instead.

[untold magnet]

try making it deals no damage, like by giving it weakness 255 effect, just try to make the entity hit the player without damaging it

so u will apply the damage instantly via scripts

[ivory bough]

it's not possible to deal no damage

[untold magnet]

idk.

[dim tusk]

Yep.

[untold magnet]

well, not for me

i can make the entity follow the player but doesn't deal any damage, just like how the creeper works

[dim tusk]

so umm, cna you make the player don't deal damage to a mob without effects purely scripts without modifying player.json?

[untold magnet]

and make it damage the player via scripts ( getting the targeted player around the entity )

[dim tusk]

that's the point right now, pure scripts no editing the entity.json

[untold magnet]

he wants to make his entity damage the player, but without the armor resistance

the damage will ignore the player armor

[untold magnet]

he has a custom mob, he can make it follow the target just like the creeper and deal no damage, and via scripts u can detect the targeted entity around his custom mob and apply damage to it once every second, and u can apply the attack animation to the entity if needed

[dim tusk]

I ain't stupid.

no need to explain it to me.

-# actually I am but not that stupid.

[untold magnet]

the explaining will help him out making it works.

[bright dove]

so satisfying

[chilly fractal]

Yo, does anyone know how'd one apply knockback/impluse on the entity he hits?

Specifically like, a knockback neo

I know, entityHitEntity and etc, i am asking about the math involved

[knotty plaza]

Like, just getting the knockback direction?

[prisma shard]

hi redtnt

[serene lava]

i asked to Chatgtp how to add fuel to a steam locomotive, it showed me this script but is not working, ¿someone knows if this has a mistake?

[valid ice]

itemUseOnEntity ain't an event

[serene lava]

what should i write instead of it?

[valid ice]

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

[knotty plaza]

The AI is the mistake

Actually it is pretty good for an AI

The code is almost correct in everything

[serene lava]

what is the mistake?

[knotty plaza]

What Herobrine said

Use the playerInteractWithEntity event if you are using beta-api

If not, just add the minecraft:interact component to your entity and make it run the scriptevent command

[grave thistle]

How do I get the percentage symbol to show on my modal ui? Ingame the symbol doesn't appear

[valid ice]

Double percentage symbol

[cinder shadow]

wait till you have to do a triple percentage symbol

Then you realize that making the % show up on the items display name by doing that will also make it not show up in script forms

So then you use 4 % symbols

[rose light]

Why doesn't the particle appear when I use the item? I'm having extreme difficulty making it appear

[wary edge]

This seems more of a #1067869590400544869 or #1067869136606220288 , not Scripting.

[rose light]

ok

[chilly fractal]

Sorry for not replying earlier, i meant like what should i pass to the .applyImpluse/.applyKnockback to add like some extra force to the knockback

Have you ever heard of a knockback neo?

Ye i meant like that

[knotty plaza]

Never heard of it

[chilly fractal]

Like an item that has knockback 10

On java bedwars servers

[knotty plaza]

Oh I see

[chilly fractal]

I kinda wanna do exactly what it does but just as like, like the knockback, i dont want the item checking or anything, just the math to apply correct impluse and knockback depending on both the attacker and target

[knotty plaza]

For players its applyKnockback, and you have to pass the x and z direction, then the horizontal force and the vertical force

[chilly fractal]

I have used it before

But what about .applyImpluse

I need to do the same for entities

[knotty plaza]

Not supported for players

[chilly fractal]

I know

[chilly fractal]

I said

[knotty plaza]

Entities also support applyKnockback

[chilly fractal]

Yes, but wouldn't it better to use .applyImpluse

[knotty plaza]

I don't see why

[chilly fractal]

Yeah good point

[cold grove]

no, why?

[grave thistle]

thnx

[untold magnet]

why when i try to detect the new pig/cow/chicken variants ( console.warn(variant) ) it returns undefined?

[knotty plaza]

How are you defining variant?

[untold magnet]

const variant = eEntity?.getComponent('minecraft:variant');
it works for other entities, like villager or the new wolf variants but it doesn't work on pig/cow/chicken mobs

[knotty plaza]

There doesn't seem to be custom components for each variant in the vanilla behavior pack

Is that already out?

[untold magnet]

idk, send me if u have it
i need the new BP of those mobs along with the new texture paths and models

[knotty plaza]

I just downloaded the 1.21.60 behavior pack and there is nothing about that

the repo won't include it, sense it is behind experimental

all experimental have there own pack

send me the link of that BP along with the RP
i need them.

@untold magnet the experimental stuff is not there
here is the files

[untold magnet]

alright.

[distant tulip]

and no .value

[untold magnet]

ik, so thats what mojang will use for the new mob variants, like all of them should use the same method right?

[distant tulip]

🤷‍♂️

[untold magnet]

( i mean the new pigs / cows / chickens / upcoming sheeps / upcoming goats )

[distant tulip]

mojang is known for there consistency

[untold magnet]

yes it works for all of them, the new variants is using that new method

• tell me if it is possible to detect if the goat have horns or not,

if it is hardcoded or too complicated, screw it

[celest abyss]

What is the module for 1.21.60?

[granite badger]

not released yet

the question is, how am i going to detect those

[grim raft]

use animations

in behaviour pack

[grim raft]

how long will it take to release?

[distant tulip]

animation control
aka edit the entity file
and that is not allowed in mp

[untold magnet]

screw it, twice

well

how about the new texture path of the new variants?

[distant tulip]

can playanimation play bp animations?

[untold magnet]

is it like so:
entity/pig > temperate pig
entity/pig_cold > cold pig
entity/pig_warm > warm pig

UH quick question

is this not how u get the entities current dimension ?

[wary edge]

It is.

[jade grail]

im assuming its cuz player isnt identified

[sharp elbow]

If you are getting an error, probably

[jade grail]

ok thats it then thanks

yall know how i can the get location of a dead entity which has js died?

this is in an after death

event

it works with the player but if any other entity dies it is fully removed so idk from all dimensions

[dim tusk]

beforeEvents.entityRemove probably

[jade grail]

oo thanks il see if it works

is that new cuz i dont remember it

[dim tusk]

nope. It's not new, you probably never heard this that's why

[sweet seal]

How to update pack on a realm without removing/resetting dynamic properties?

[jade grail]

it doesnt seem to work

[jade grail]

Dynamic properties should be saved to the world not the addon

[sweet seal]

but somebody said if i reset the packs uuid to update it itll reset

[distant tulip]

change the pack version

[sweet seal]

so i can change the uuid?

[distant tulip]

that is true

[sweet seal]

im confused

[distant tulip]

no, the version

[jade grail]

im confused to now

[thorn flicker]

why are you changing the uuid

[sweet seal]

i want to update the pack

[jade grail]

so can multiple addons use the same dynamic properties? and it wont overlay

[thorn flicker]

just change pack version like minato said, not the uuid.

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.entityRemove.subscribe(({ removedEntity}) => {
   console.error(removedEntity.dimension.id);
});```

[distant tulip]

no

[sweet seal]

do i need to make it development

[distant tulip]

no, but recommended for development

[jade grail]

i keep getting error message

[distant tulip]

removedEntity

[dim tusk]

shii

[thorn flicker]

removedEntity

not entity

[dim tusk]

I always forget that lol

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[dim tusk]

it's removedEntity not entity mb

[jade grail]

ty yall tht part is working now

but i got a another problem

heres the line in that

[sweet seal]

i edited the version by 1 and changed the name but when i turn it pack into a normal pack i only see the older version of it

[distant tulip]

use the development folder and make sure the pack is not cached in the world

[distant tulip]

code

[sweet seal]

what do you mean cached in the world also its a realm

[dim tusk]

just do removedEntity.dimension.spawnItem()

[jade grail]

item is defined upper up

[dim tusk]

so if you apply a behavior pack in the world, it create a copy of that behavior pack in the world's folder

[jade grail]

if this dont work i got a backup idea

[dim tusk]

Thank god I didn't release my addon yet since I remembered they changed the 'fluidContainer' component to 'fluid_container'

[glacial widget]

Is BDS 1.21.60 out yet?

particles can already be seen from far away

[rose light]

and through block? is it possible?

[thorn flicker]

not with scripts.

thats more of a client side thing

im not sure if you can

[rose light]

it can be anything as long as it works

entity.applyImpulse({ x: velocity.x, y: 0, z: velocity.z });```

[dim tusk]

So yeah the button will be still clickable even if it doesn't exist in the form anymore since you hardcoded define their position

[dense wraith]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[dim tusk]

like I made 3 buttons in the ui, and I added 2 buttons in script side, thee last button isn't functional at all

tho it still exists

Also let's move to #1067869374410657962

[wary edge]

Elaborate? You could try using anything that supports raw message to translate pack.name.

[dim tusk]

tho, the best thing you could do is make a binding visibility that hides it automatically once the button text is blank

[umbral dune]

yes! that's what i'm trying to do

but in this case, the pack.name I need can be any, I have no way of predicting

[wary edge]

I don't believe it's possible then. Best you can do is just get their namespace. What are you trying to create?

[umbral dune]

is a block inspector

[wary edge]

Best you can do is just display the namespace.

[umbral dune]

Can I at least get the display name of the block?

vanilla blocks

[wary edge]

Oh, is it like WAILA?

Poggy made one if so. You can reference that.

[drowsy scaffold]

you can format the typeId of the block to make it look like the vanilla display name

[wary edge]

What
Am
I
Looking
At

WAILA

[umbral dune]

I wouldn't say that, it's an item

[drowsy scaffold]

huh, interesting

[umbral dune]

you click and it shows entity/block information

[drowsy scaffold]

...so basically WAILA

in item format

[umbral dune]

best description

[drowsy scaffold]

since it's intended for vanilla items, you can do the following to get a DisplayName-ish text

const displayName = block.typeId.split(":")?.pop()?.split('_').map(word => word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + word.slice(1).toLowerCase()).join(' ');

[dense wraith]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[umbral dune]

translations exist.

and using an item's id as display name is not even reliable,

[drowsy scaffold]

oh I didn't even think of translations for it with lang files

that's so much smarter

[umbral dune]

fixing some things.

const displayName = block.typeId.split(":")[1].split("_").replace(/(\b[a-z](?!\s))/g, x => x.toUpperCase());

why the ??

[drowsy scaffold]

it's a part of prototypes that I was making and I considered the possibility that someone might be stupid and try to pass an invalid namespace or manually do it

[umbral dune]

I don't even know if this is possible

anyway, thanks for the help

[drowsy scaffold]

For floating point arithmetic math, try this floating point approximate-equals function:

function f_approxEquals(a, b) {
    if(a == b) return true;
    let diff = Math.abs(a - b);
    let norm = Math.min(Math.abs(a) + Math.abs(b), Number.MAX_VALUE);
    return diff < Math.max(norm * Number.EPSILON);
}

const threeTenths = 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1;
console.log(threeTenths == 0.3);               // false
console.log(f_approxEquals(threeTenths, 0.3)); // true

[dense wraith]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[sharp elbow]

@dense wraith I'm assuming this shows you only the cosmetics you have acquired, instead of all cosmetics. I would personally construct an array of selectable cosmetics that have indices consistent with the form, then index into that with the form response's selection property.

const Selectable = headcosmetics.filter((option) => player.hasTag(option.name));

for(const option of Selectable) {
  costab1.button(option.name, option.texture);
}

costab1.show().then(function onCosmeticSelection(response) {
  if (response.selection == undefined) throw "nothing selected case";
  const selection = Selectable[response.selection];
  selection.whateverElse();
});

Granted, if you have a lot of cosmetics then copying a filtered headcosmetics into an array could be memory-intensive and expensive

Might be able to optimize that with a lookup on all tags at once, by inserting player.getTags() into a Set and running has() on that Set

[prisma shard]

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME

WHY MOJANG IS NOT ADDING EntityHurtBeforeEvent in SCRIPT API

mojang even going to release script api 2.0.0..... but still not adding EntityHurtBeforeEvent 😭

[sharp elbow]

Another idea is to map button indices to headcosmetics indices:

const PlayerTags = new Set(player.getTags());
const ButtonCosmeticMap = new Map();

let buttonIndex = 0;
for (let cosmeticIndex = 0; cosmeticIndex < headcosmetics.length; ++cosmeticIndex) {
  if (PlayerTags.has(option.name)) {
    costab1.button(option.name, option.texture);
    ButtonCosmeticMap.set(buttonIndex++, cosmeticIndex);
  }
}

costab1.show().then(function onCosmeticSelection(response) {
  if (response.selection == undefined) throw "nothing selected case";
  const selection = headcosmetics[ButtonCosmeticMap.get(response.selection)];
  selection.whateverElse();
});

In either case, it's worth trying to do the lookup on some form of headcosmetics rather than try to carry the object over, because this allows your code to be more modular.

Huh, I actually like the button mapping idea, I'd personally roll with that

[dim tusk]

-# me who just reads this because I'm fascinated with the idea lol

You're not just asking for a feature, you are actively telling someone how they have to do their job, by requiring them to shift around their workplan and roadmap and work on this feature just for you.

And no one wants to be told how they should do their job

what's the difference between player.setDynamicProperty() and player.setProperty()

it seems like they do share the same purposes

but different function name

idk which is the optimal one though

[noble bolt]

native type conversion failed

[dim tusk]

setProperty is for entity properties while dynamicProperty is used in script only.

imagine it as a storage and it won't disappear unless you delete them.

[trail marten]

variant

[trail marten]

will it disappear if a player dies? (for setProperty())

[dim tusk]

Not sure.

[trail marten]

alright thanks

[distant tulip]

no

[random flint]

.setProperty(): Set Entity property. Entity property is usually used in JSON logic with certain Molang query functions. Value change is delayed by a tick. Cannot be used in beforeEvent. The property is readable by all scripts from another pack.

.setDynamicProperty() Unique storage bound to the entity and the addon's script. (Other scripts from another pack can't read them... iirc). Immediately changes. Can be used in beforeEvent. Only readable through script.

Hey! Anyone know how i whould use my plot system to make an invite for my plot system

  const form = new ActionFormData().title("Title");
  form.body("Select a Player");
  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    form.button(player.name);
  };
  form.show(target).then(responses => {
    const selectedPlayer = world.getAllPlayers()[responses.selection];
    selectedPlayer.addTag("tag");
  });

My plot system uses scores "locationID=1" Than your plot is 1 And 
"locationID1=1" than that's your friend slot.

[covert goblet]

Is it possible to offload a scripting process to the client, for example instead of the server checking for every block that's broken by every player every tick, can the players client not detect it and send the information to the server, doesn't have to be realtime. I'm just trying to think of efficient ways to get the data I want

[chilly fractal]

Nope

[hardy tusk]

Scripting if chatSend before was finally stable

[glacial widget]

facts

[sharp elbow]

Review what the method getEntitiesFromViewDirection returns: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entity#getentitiesfromviewdirection
(EntityRaycastHit array, which could also be an empty array)

If the entity was found, it returns an object with an entity property

In the function hasBlock, your distance variable is redundant, since the anomaly parameter also already has a distance property you can use (albeit, from the entity's bounds, not its location). If you wanted to calculate the distance by hand, you need anomaly.entity.location

anyways,

i dont think it is possible to add a body below the buttons, right?

[valid ice]

Try it and see I guess

[remote oyster]

The majority you can rate-limit and that will solve the problem.

[oak lynx]

okay but what packets usually cause issues

[remote oyster]

That can vary depending on how desperate they are. The two common ones are most certainly CommandRequest and LegacyTelemetryEvent packets. There are others too. If you know of a server or personally experience it on your own server, you can just monitor and log the traffic to see what packets are causing problems or raising flags prior to a crash.

[untold magnet]

when i try to add another .body , it will select the new body and remove the previous one

like
.body('1')
.button('hi')
.body('2')
it will just show '2' above the button

[valid ice]

Welp

[dim tusk]

you can only have one body in the form and the body will be always on top of the form.

if you want to have two body effects, use one body effect and in json ui divide them and place where the second body will be.

I mean that among all the players who have a Tag, a randomness system is created and a button is created

put all available players in an array. Then math.random()

4 hours on AI is wild comms

Is the data at least saved in dynamic properties?

sup guys, why is this thing:

        let rCode = new ModalFormData();
    rCode.title(`title`);
    rCode.textField(`Hi - under processing`, `testing`);
    rCode.show(player).then(({formValues}) => {
      if (formValues[0] === 'codetest') { *** }```have a log showing up when i close the form-ui without writing anything?

log:

[simple zodiac]

Yeh cuz formValues is undefined when you just close the form meaning you can't read [0] from it

[untold magnet]

so how can i fix it?

[dim tusk]

either do if (canceled) return or if (formValues && formValues[0] === '')

[untold magnet]

or just if (!formValues) return; right?

[dim tusk]

Either of them works. Just choose

[errant wadi]

I recommend do it with canceled

[dawn zealot]

no saved in the lore

it cycles through each line of the lroe until it matches with lets say level, then uses regex to return the level, xp and xpmax

used AI cuz i had no clue how to do it, now i can do it without ai :)

[valid ice]

Dynamic properties are a lot easier to store data in and have a much higher limit than lore does

[dawn zealot]

ik but inconvienient for updating a pack to add on a realm

i dont feel like going through the 10 step process

[errant wadi]

dynamic properties cannot be set on stackable items

😭

[valid ice]

[dawn zealot]

plus reading off the lore is better anyway

the lore limit doesnt affect me too

[errant wadi]

i disagree

[valid ice]

20 lines, 50 characters

[dawn zealot]

didnt ask for ur opinion but ok

[valid ice]

It will happen to you

[dawn zealot]

i dont need 20 lines tho

[valid ice]

Dynamic properties are also very fast compared to lore

[dawn zealot]

i have 10 enchants

[valid ice]

parsing a single string (saved as json) vs parsing with regex

trust me, I have done both systems. Lore works, sure, but it's so much easier with DPs

[dawn zealot]

doesnt matter still does it quick enough

[dawn zealot]

yeah but im not doing that dumb 10 step process everytime i wanna update the pack on the realm

[errant wadi]

making a parser for each line will be more terrible..

[dawn zealot]

this how mine works

[errant wadi]

just use dynamic properties 😭

[dawn zealot]

not good for realms as i said before, so no

[sharp elbow]

Consider it something to potentially change in the future. Just be careful of racking up technical debt

[wary edge]

If people wanna suffer let them suffer.

[valid ice]

const level = item.getDynamicProperty('level') ?? 0

Very easy to use, the design is very human

[errant wadi]

very human

lol

[dawn zealot]

but when i wanna change the pack on the realm i have to go thru the process of defusing a bomb bru

[errant wadi]

It's saved on the item

[dawn zealot]

so if i change the uuids?

it will still be on the item

[valid ice]

Have you tried just updating the pack's version?
Idk if you necessarily need to go through all those steps, if just the version is updated.

[dawn zealot]

i tried that it didnt say there was a new pack when i went in my realm to add it

[errant wadi]

wdym? each item stack has its own pointer

[dawn zealot]

like if i change the uuids in the pack, will the item still have the dynamicproperties?

or will it reset

like player and world

[oblique heath]

it will keep them

[errant wadi]

try it yourself 💯

[dawn zealot]

...

[sharp elbow]

I suppose you could download the world off the Realm, apply your pack changes (including the version in world_*_packs), then reupload it, but that becomes infeasible after the world reaches a certain size

[dawn zealot]

sooooo why did i not know this 😭

bro u shouldve seen the amount of debuggin i had that ai do 😭

[oblique heath]

why are you making ais do stuff

tsk tsk

[dawn zealot]

chat length

[sharp elbow]

That level of proompting is crazy

[errant wadi]

I like this whole try-catch lol

[dawn zealot]

cuz ive never used lore before an everytime i ask here i get redirected to documentation that takes 10 yers to read

[dawn zealot]

lmao

the ai was struggling with getting the mainhand item

it kept getting hotbar slot

[oblique heath]

well duh

[dawn zealot]

or would make it mainhand instead of Mainhand

[oblique heath]

why would it know anything about that

[dawn zealot]

it did

it knew about it on my enchants one

[oblique heath]

righttt

[dawn zealot]

but for the pickaxeXP it didnt

[sharp elbow]

What's the point of documentation if nobody is willing to read it

[dawn zealot]

its worded how by friend koyh would read it, basically abunch of yap until it finally gets to the point

[wary edge]

On my way to delete the wiki.

[dawn zealot]

W

[errant wadi]

lmao

[sharp elbow]

It could be this way. I have actually not read whatever it is you're referencing haha

Whenever I write documentation I "yap," but that's to explain what it is doing

[dawn zealot]

oh it is, some things are easy like lets say the unicode but other things... god help me

[dawn zealot]

by yap i mean useless information

like sometimes it will be on the right track then start talking about something thats completely different

anyway i dont wanna get offtopic

[sharp elbow]

Is it some "recipe website where I tell my funny anecdote" level of yap

[dawn zealot]

but if i use item.getDynamicProperties how would i display it on the lore, wouldnt i need to use lore anyway for that?

[sharp elbow]

Yeah sorry, lol

[dawn zealot]

not ur fault dw im the one yappin

[sharp elbow]

Yep. But at least the source of truth is in the property, not the lore. The former is easier to parse and is more reliable(?) to store

[valid ice]

Display it with lore— but you don’t have to parse the data from the lore at all, so how it’s formatted isn’t critical.

[distant tulip]

it won't be a wiki if all it provided it straight up templates

[dawn zealot]

i see

so basically just run a function that updates the lore whenever i call it then

[valid ice]

Lore has always been meant for displaying stuff; it was never meant to store data

[oblique heath]

yeah what crazy person uses lore for that

purpose

[dawn zealot]

ikr....
