Script API General

[distant tulip]

yeah it is, a bit outdated tho

1.11.0 was playerInteractWithBlock stable then?

deepseek is better at it sometime, even if it is not trained
but it is better to just l"earn" to read the docs

[azure lichen]

I used to use it Solve problems I don't know about and create scripts regularly. But it's different. 🤣
Thank you brother for the recommendation. 🥰

[distant tulip]

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

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { player, block } = event;
    
    player.sendMessage({
        translate: "Interacted with %1 block at %2",
        with: [
            block.typeId,
            `X:${block.location.x} Y:${block.location.y} Z:${block.location.z}`
        ]
    });
});

deepseek one have a privilege problem, but yeah

-# %1 %2 is that a thing?

[dense wraith]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[azure lichen]

how to your train deepseek?

[distant tulip]

no

i didn't, it is kinda up to date

[remote oyster]

You can't train it unless you are familiar with the documentation.

To teach you must learn to be a teacher.

[azure lichen]

This is my search history.

brother I don't just use AI, I search for what I need.

How to spawn an entity using dimension.spawnEntity behind a block and also triggering one of the entity's event

[wary edge]

get block location -> spawn entity -> trigger event on the entity.

I recommend reading the docs on spawnEntity since it returns an Entity instance in which you can use triggerEvent.

[ivory bough]

But I didn't understand the location one inside the the parentheses

[prisma shard]

oh i misunderstood srry

[hot sundial]

how to handle removing experience? No matter what i do it doesnt go down in levels it just emptys the bar

[prisma shard]

elaborate

[thorn flicker]

I think its pretty clear.

[prisma shard]

but i didnt understand

[hot sundial]

im doing player.addexperiance(-1) but in game my level never goes down it will go down to exactly level 3 with an empty xp bar but never go down to level 2

[thorn flicker]

you will need to make it do that yourself sadly.

[hot sundial]

thats annoying. do yk how the levels scale? is it like 8 * level = xp for next level or something like that?

[thorn flicker]

ive made a method in a class for this exact thing.

[hot sundial]

could you send it to me?

pretty please

[thorn flicker]

I rather teach you how to make it, rather than just giving it to you

[hot sundial]

i just want the algorithm for the scaling of the levels i can do the code

[thorn flicker]

you dont even need that, I didn't.

[hot sundial]

but if i want to go from level 3 (28xp) and then go to level 2 (16xp) i dont want to just jump to level 2 i want to go to 27xp, 26xp, 25xp all the way down and to do that i need to know what the max is for each level

[thorn flicker]

check when your xpEarnedAtCurrentLevel is at 0, add the xpNeededForNextLevel minus the amount being taken away and remove 1 level.
if your bar is not empty, just remove the xp normally.

[hot sundial]

omg i feel like an idiot

i didnt know player had .XpNeededForNextLevel

[thorn flicker]

its fine

[thorn flicker]

you will need to check if xpNeededForNextLevel - Amount is less or equal to 0 rather than just checking if the xpEarnedAtCurrentLevel is 0.

[hot sundial]

i got it working

thank you

[thorn flicker]

np.

[unique acorn]

is something wrong here?

why isn't autocompletion working properly

[warm mason]

getComponent returns EntityComponent and VScode doesn't know that you get EntityInventoryComponent, so it only shows methods that are available on all components

[unique acorn]

how come it works in my other addon tho?

[prisma shard]

bcoz you put container?

[warm mason]

Maybe VScode can analyze code. I don't know the details.

[wary edge]

Are you using the Beta APIs?

[unique acorn]

yes

[wary edge]

If you're using stable, you'll need to typecast. If you're using beta, you don't.

[unique acorn]

I installed 1.18.0-beta's autocompletions

[errant wadi]

typecast 🔥

[unique acorn]

okay then.

[errant wadi]

I guess he installed 1.0.0 type definition library

[distant gulch]

Where is the damn auto completions

Is that even the right way to get it

[wary edge]

Stable or Beta modules?

[distant gulch]

Stable

[wary edge]

You need to typecast.

getComponent('cooldown') as ItemCooldownComponent

As an example.

[distant gulch]

Th is an typecast

[distant gulch]

I tried that before but it says it only works in TypeScript

[wary edge]

Then use TS.

[distant gulch]

Idk how to

[fading sand]

world.afterEvents.dataDrivenEntityTrigger.subscribe(eventData => {
    let eventName = eventData.eventId;
    let EventEntity = eventData.entity;
    if (eventData.eventId.startsWith('level_')) {
        console.warn(eventName);
        let EntityItem = EventEntity.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Offhand');
        const durability = EntityItem.getComponent('durability');
        durability.damage = 1;
    }
})

[thorn flicker]

you can use instanceof in an if statement

[fading sand]

why wont this damage the item?

[wary edge]

You have to set the item back.

[distant gulch]

?

[fading sand]

ohh

[errant wadi]

i guess he selected old version

of the scripting engine

[thorn flicker]

    const inv = player.getComponent(EntityInventoryComponent.componentId)

    if (inv instanceof EntityInventoryComponent) {
        //...
    }

[errant wadi]

use enums instead of static fields of classes 😭

[fading sand]

can we get armor component of an item?

[errant wadi]

do getEquipmentSlot

or you have to call setItem function

[distant gulch]

O shi this actually works what da heil

[errant wadi]

that stupid bridge doesn't know the maps ig

this is how the type is defined

[fading sand]

thx

how to get the armor level of an armor?

[errant wadi]

as i know it's impossible now. you have to make map(enum or can be object) manually

[distant gulch]

Now how do I get an item in the mainhand

[distant gulch]

It's possible with commands

[errant wadi]

container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex)

[distant gulch]

Where the hell is the player variable coming from

[errant wadi]

then where the hell is the container variable coming from

[distant gulch]

Huh

Oh it's just the entity

[errant wadi]

here's the another.

entity.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Equippable).getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);

[distant gulch]

The another is more work

[errant wadi]

ye it's working for non-player entities

[errant wadi]

this only works for players

[distant gulch]

Is data store possible

[errant wadi]

for non-player entities you can just do container.setItem(0) iirc

[errant wadi]

possible

with dynamic properties

[distant gulch]

I'm talking about sending data to a website or an API either through an http request or sum

And reloading it back

[unique acorn]

only possible in BDS, you can use post and get request

[distant gulch]

What is BDS

[errant wadi]

could you please google it 😭

[unique acorn]

bedrock dedicated server

[distant gulch]

Oh that

[errant wadi]

before you ask, please google it first..

[fading sand]

how do i repair an item?

[errant wadi]

on mainhand?

[fading sand]

offhand

but prob same

[dim tusk]

You're wrong about that part bud.

[dim tusk]

change the damage of the item.

[dim tusk]

const equippable = player.getComponent('equippable');
for (const item of ['Offhand','Mainhand']) {
   const durability = item.getComponent('durability');
   durability.damage = 0;
}```

[fading sand]

doesnt allow - values

wdym , if i set damage to -1 its error

[dim tusk]

obviously.

you can have damage of -1?

no right?

[fading sand]

ye

so

how is repair done

[dim tusk]

DAMAGE.

[fading sand]

tf

[dim tusk]

0 damage means fixed.

[fading sand]

so i cant say i increase by 1

[dim tusk]

For example I have the max durability of 100, and the damage is 1, means my item's durability is 99

if the damage is 0, means it's full durability

it's literally in the name DAMAGE

[fading sand]

hmm

thx

[errant wadi]

finally

[dim tusk]

you could've just answered him but you did not.

[errant wadi]

I was watching screenshare, and teaching him how to make rp and bp

[distant gulch]

Is it possible to detect a block in a certain radius

[dim tusk]

entity detect blocks around it?

[errant wadi]

yes.

[distant gulch]

Ye I tried using /execute if blocks but that only detects if all blocks in the radius are like that, and idk if there is a way with script API

[errant wadi]

you can

[dim tusk]

do ```js
for (const location of Dimension.getBlocks(new BlockVolume({ x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }))) {
const block = Dimension.getBlock(location);
// ...
}

make a list of location of the entity.

[errant wadi]

(this function should be getBlock bcz the parameter is not array)

[dim tusk]

but beware that it will cause a lot of tp docps

[dim tusk]

I'm not done.

[errant wadi]

lol

um actually

[distant gulch]

I want to make it so it checks in a radius if it contains a block not a single area or like that

[errant wadi]

getBlock will not cause critical performance issues

my worldedit placement's speed is 250k/sec

you can handle 10k blocks in a tick without lag.

[dim tusk]

-# runJob exists.

[errant wadi]

getBlock takes less resources than setBlockPermutation

so it can be more higher than 10k blocks in a tick

[errant wadi]

-# what a genius!

[distant gulch]

Ye but I'm not trying to detect a singular block but a block in a radius

[errant wadi]

he did this

[dim tusk]

do ```js
const volumeStart = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 };
const volumeEnd = { x: 10, y: 10, z: 10 };
const blocks = Dimension.getBlocks(new BlockVolume(volumeStart, volumeEnd), { excludeTypes: ['minecraft:air'] }, false);

for (const location of blocks.getBlockLocationIterator()) {
const block = Dimension.getBlock(location);
// ...
}

[errant wadi]

wth is that

[dim tusk]

better version of getBlock

[errant wadi]

better version ig

[dim tusk]

common sense exists genius?

since you're on PC why not help him instead 😜

[distant gulch]

Will that be able to detect if it contains a block not if the whole area is the same block

[errant wadi]

the filter argument is not optional

[errant wadi]

possible

[distant gulch]

Like detecting if a string contains a letter but it's a block being detected in a radius

[errant wadi]

I have to help the guy in the vc

[dim tusk]

You didn't import BlockVolume didn't you?

[dim tusk]

then I can say... Skill issue

[errant wadi]

just the filter argument is not optional

but you didn't give it

[dim tusk]

sample

[errant wadi]

that's why there's an error

[dim tusk]

?

?

[errant wadi]

I never used getBlocks before

so i don't know

[dim tusk]

Nevermind it's hard to win against someone.

sigh

[errant wadi]

😖

I only do just 3 loops

for (x..
for( y..
for(z..
dimension.getBlock({x, y, z})

[dim tusk]

nice nesting.

[distant gulch]

But would it appear around the block relative to it's position

I want the detection range relative to a blocks position

[dim tusk]

you should do it in runtInterval, get the location around the player and put it in the array and sue that for location check.

[dim tusk]

^

[distant gulch]

I'm not understanding

This is what I want to be done
(Detect if an iron door block is contained in the radius of 2 blocks from a block that is being clicked on)

[dim tusk]

oh it's a block detecting another blocks?

[distant gulch]

Yes

[dim tusk]

still the same, use runtInterval

[dim tusk]

wait. I'll try to give a sample.

[distant gulch]

But the block would be static right?

And how do you cancel an interval
I tried using

const interval = system.runInterval

system.clearRun(interval)

but it doesn't work

And is it possible to cancel a timeout?

[distant gulch]

This works with the normal JavaScript interval but not with mcs system

[dim tusk]

That's valid one how it won't work.

[distant gulch]

And what I want fully to happen is
Detect in a radius of 2 away from the original block being clicked on if the radius contains a iron door block go back to the original block and then run a command

[distant gulch]

?

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(({ block, player, dimension }) => {
    if (block.typeId === 'minecraft:grass_block') {
        const centerLoc = block.location;
        
        for (let dx = -2; dx <= 2; dx++) {
            for (let dy = -2; dy <= 2; dy++) {
                for (let dz = -2; dz <= 2; dz++) {
                    const nearbyBlock = dimension.getBlock({ x: centerLoc.x + dx, y: centerLoc.y + dy, z: centerLoc.z + dz });
                    
                    console.error(nearbyBlock.typeId);
                }
            }
        }
    }
});```

[errant wadi]

just do let x = centerLoc.x - 2

[dim tusk]

sigh I love nesting

[errant wadi]

x <= centerLoc.x + 2

use the exact position instead of the delta position

so you can just simply do getBlock({ x, y, z })

[dim tusk]

Hmm.

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(({ block, dimension }) => {
    if (block.typeId !== 'minecraft:grass_block') return;
    
    const { x: cx, y: cy, z: cz } = block.location;
    
    for (let x = cx - 2; x <= cx + 2; x++) for (let y = cy - 2; y <= cy + 2; y++) for (let z = cz - 2; z <= cz + 2; z++) {
       const nearByBlock = dimension.getBlock({ x, y, z });
       if (nearByBlock !== undefined) console.error(nearByBlock.typeId);
    }
});```

[errant wadi]

BEST READABILITY 👍

[dim tusk]

sarcastic?

[errant wadi]

for real.

[distant gulch]

What would be the necessary extensions for script API auto completions on visual Studio Code

[distant tulip]

no extensions
install node js and any package you want types auto completions for

[distant gulch]

How

[distant tulip]

which part

[deep arrow]

NodeJS download is easily accessible to find online

And you can then just run "npm i @minecraft/server" in your terminal to install the packages to your current directory

[north rapids]

Is it possible to detect which block was broken?

Block id to be more specific

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({ player, brokenBlockPermutation }) => {
   console.error(brokenBlockPermutation.type.id);
});```

[north rapids]

Tysm

Is it possible by "on_break" custom component?

[dim tusk]

Sorry what?

[north rapids]

Sorry, I meant the custom component event "onMineBlock"

I'm a little rusty with JS

[dim tusk]

ahh for the custom items. Why? They already have a built-in properties

also they have different names it's minedBlockPermutation instead

[north rapids]

I didn't know that

Tysm

[scarlet sable]

is there a parameter that can allow for a custom death message?

I don't wonna make a custom script that deletes this one and replaces it yada yada yada

[silver agate]

is it possible to make a block change the state based on biome?

[wary edge]

No.

[wary edge]

Yesn't.

[silver agate]

oh, that's rlly sad

isnt there any metod?

like even to simulate it (idk)

[wary edge]

You can summon a dummy entity to query the biome. Then relay that info to scriptapi.

[silver agate]

maybe with player, execute function and script queries, bcs I'm making a custom grass that will replace the default grass, so this isnt a option bcs of lag

[scarlet sable]

sad

[unique acorn]

not 100% perfect but disable showDeathMessages gamerule, send your own message then enable it again

[glacial widget]

is there any way to block invis skins?

[random flint]

[ivory bough]

dimension.spawnEntity("space:anomaly", block.location);
How to spawn my entity behind the block?

[distant tulip]

define the "block" and "behind the block"

[ivory bough]

?

The block variable is defined somewhere in the code

[distant tulip]

How to spawn my entity behind the block?
is not clear
where is the block
what "behind the block" mean? relative to what?

[ivory bough]

Relative to block's local cordinates

^^^-1

And the block is from blockRayCastHit

[distant tulip]

^^^-1 is not block relative

[subtle cove]

blockface location relative to block.center?

[distant tulip]

blockface is a string, no?

you mean the hitLocation

[subtle cove]

perhaps...

[distant tulip]

it is relative to the block origin 0 0 0

[subtle cove]

well, im not the inquiree ;-;

[ivory bough]

Yes

[distant tulip]

hitLocation + block location + ray direction normalized

[subtle cove]

what if it's like a slab, should it relate to the viewvector of the player?

[distant tulip]

it is a log iirc

[ivory bough]

I am detecting logs and want to spawn an entity behind that log so that the player cannot see it

[subtle cove]

ok, relative to player view

[distant tulip]

try this?

[ivory bough]

Ok

[distant tulip]

not sure about the normalized part
sense the block can get to √(1²+1² + 1²) = √3 thick, depending on the vector

[ivory bough]

Wait but the hit and block location is same

[distant tulip]

they are not

[azure lichen]

Why can't user import addons, when he clicks to install the addon, the addon doesn't go into Minecraft Bedrock.

[ivory bough]

Wait but what if I just add +1 to the z of the block's location and spawn it in using summon ${blockLoc.z}

[distant tulip]

try something like this

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

const dimension = world.getDimension(...)

const blockHit = dimension.getBlockFromRay(...)

const location = addVectors([
    blockHit.faceLocation,
    blockHit.block.location,
    normalizeToSqrt3(rayDirection)
])

const entity = dimension.spawnEntity('id', location)

function normalizeToSqrt3(vector) {
    const length = Math.sqrt(vector.x ** 2 + vector.y ** 2 + vector.z ** 2);
    if (length === 0) return { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 };
    const scaleFactor = Math.sqrt(3) / length;
    return {
        x: vector.x * scaleFactor,
        y: vector.y * scaleFactor,
        z: vector.z * scaleFactor
    };
}

function addVectors(vectors) {
    return vectors.reduce((sum, v) => ({
        x: sum.x + v.x,
        y: sum.y + v.y,
        z: sum.z + v.z
    }), { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 });
}

rayDirection is the ray direction

[distant tulip]

what is maxRefinable

[hybrid island]

wait

[distant tulip]

ensure it is valid

[hybrid island]

sry my inetert bugged out

let maxRefinable = Math.min(itemCount, maxAffordable);
let maxRefinable = Math.min(itemCount, maxAffordable);

[distant tulip]

log that to console and see it value

[hybrid island]

error doesnt allow it

[wary edge]

Wdym?

[distant tulip]

move the line before the itemstak one

huh

Any suggestions improving this?

[errant wadi]

WDYM "IMPROVING"

performance?

readability?

or something else?

[ivory bough]

Performance and if there's a better way to do it

[errant wadi]

does it make lags?

[ivory bough]

No

I am asking if there's a better way of detecting logs

Or the raycast

[errant wadi]

do you know what direction is?

It's player's view direction

x, y, z values are must be from -1 to 1.

It seems wrong

I'm wondering how it works

🤔

[ivory bough]

How

[errant wadi]

            world.getDimension("overworld").runCommand(`summon space:anomaly ${blockLoc.x} ${blockLoc.y} ${blockLoc.z + 1} facing @a`);
            world.getDimension("overworld").runCommand("tag @a add tree");
            console.log(`found at ${blockLoc.x}, ${blockLoc.y}, ${blockLoc.z}`);

            break outerfor;

alr this is my best.

[wary edge]

Hides all HUD except

[jade grail]

view_entity.applyDamage(50, {
damagingEntity: {
"damagingEntity": player,
"cause": "entityAttack"
}
}) this has an error in it i believe its to do with the cause

but reading this i think i messed alot up

[night acorn]

dont use strings for cause

or damagingEntity

just do:

view_entity.applyDamage(50, {
        damagingEntity: {
            damagingEntity: player,
            cause: "entityAttack"
        }
    })

How do i detect when a player interacts with a custom block?
Afaik there is no "minecraft:interactable" component and when i use world.beforeEvents.itemUseOn [... code ...] this only works if i can actually use the item and doesn't depend on the block

[wary edge]

Use custom components for your custom block.

[unique acorn]

you need to keep checking every tick for item in player's chest, then you can use if statements to check if it matchs the lore, properties and player has lvl 1, if it does have the lore and player is lvl 1, it will remove that item then add it back to player's inventory

ping me if you want a code example

[unique acorn]

im still confused on what runJob is for, can anyone explain

[chilly fractal]

Generator function

Runs generator functions

Which pause execution till the next tick if you do yield;

[distant tulip]

let say you have a function that does to much stuff and the game lag if you run all that at once

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

anyName()

function anyName() {
    let task = 0;
    while (task < 100000) {
        task++;
        //...
        world.sendMessage(`task reached: ${task}`);
    }
    world.sendMessage("job complete");
}

what we can do is convert it to a generator function

function* anyName(){}

and use yield to devide the function into sections. the game will execute the code untill it hit a yield, pause and continue when there is a place in the tick to run.
so something like this:

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

system.runJob(anyName());

function* anyName() {
    let task = 0;
    while (task < 100000) {
        task++;
        //...
        world.sendMessage(`task reached: ${task}`);
        yield; // pause execution and continue on the next time the game is free
    }
    world.sendMessage("job complete");
}

why do we need it?
the best thing about runJob is that it can run multiple times in a tick. and that make it way faster then any alternative

[unique acorn]

Thank you

Is there a way to use use permutationToPlace to set multiple permutations to be placed

[distant tulip]

const permutation = BlockPermutation

    .withState("state1_name", value1)
    .withState("state2_name", value2)
    .withState("state3_name", value3)
    .withState("state4_name", value4);

[tidal wasp]

isnt that for setPermutation?

[distant tulip]

hmm?

[tidal wasp]

doesnt .resolve() only work for setPermutation?

[distant tulip]

resolve and withState both return a permutation
and permutationToPlace take permutation

[warm mason]

Is it possible to detect if the player riding an entity is trying to move?

[umbral dune]

When you click on a daybed a message appears above your hotbar, however, this message appears to be different from the others. Is it possible to show the player a message with a similar ui?

[dim tusk]

const inputInfo = player.inputInfo;
const movement = inputInfo.getMovementVector();
const riding = player.getComponent('riding')?.entityRidingOn;

if (riding && (movement.x !== 0 && movement.y !== 0)) {
  // ...
}```

[knotty plaza]

Not using beta

[dim tusk]

Use getVelocity then

[knotty plaza]

Yeah... The problem is that I'm making a flying vehicle and I'm trying to detect if the player is moving or not so I can stop the vehicle

When the vehicle is moving, the player's velocity is the same as the vehicle

[dim tusk]

then you don't have a choice, that's the most accurate thing you could do in stable.

[knotty plaza]

This is what I'm doing rn```js
const { x, y, z } = pilot.getViewDirection();
const v = vehicle.getVelocity();

const abs = Vector.abs(v);
const h = abs.x + abs.z;

vehicle.applyKnockback(x, z, h ? h * (abs.x > 0.1 && abs.z > 0.1 ? 0.8 : 1.1) : 0, y < 0.25 && y > -0.4 ? 0.022 : (y / 3) + 0.05);

It works but only in a straight line

If I move in a diagonal direction, the vehicle never stops

[celest abyss]

system.runInterval(() => {
  let players = world.getAllPlayers()
  for (let player of players) {
    const item = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container.getItem(9);
    if (!item?.typeId === "minecraft:diamond") {
      player.runCommandAsync('camera @s fade time 0 2 0 color 0 0 0');

    }
  }
}, 20)

Why this doesn't work?

If I don't put ! , this works but if I put ! it doesn't work anymore

[knotty plaza]

item?.typeId !== 'minecraft:diamond'

[dim tusk]

in that case, just use applyImpulse

[knotty plaza]

applyImpulse doesn't modify the velocity?

[dim tusk]

iirc it adds that value to your current velocity

[knotty plaza]

Then its the same that I'm doing now

[dim tusk]

I dunno what's your plan tbh, maybe you could use Entity.clearVelocity() first.

[knotty plaza]

I'm trying to make the entity move when the player is holding the movement buttons

As I said before, this only works for straight lines but for some reason it never stops moving in diagonal directions

[unique acorn]

Does anyone have an example how to apply knockback sideways? Like push the player to the right

I'm really bad at math

      const location = entity.location;
      const vector = { x: location.x, y: location.y, z: location.z + 2 };
      const block = entity.dimension.getBlock(vector);
      const player = entity.dimension.getEntities({ type: 'player', closest: 1, location: entity.location })[0];
      if (block) {
        block.setType("standing_sign");
        const signComponent = block.getComponent("minecraft:sign");
        signComponent?.setText(`${messages[random]}, ${player.name}`, SignSide.Front);

How do I make a skyblock island generator?
Does anyone have an idea?

[prisma shard]

like oneblock, it generates a random block after breaking?

or a whole skyblock island terrain you want to generate? (you can do this using worldedit)

[fallow rivet]

No

A random island for each person

[prisma shard]

like a whole skyblock island terrain you want to generate?

just do it with worldedit! if you want to do it

you can copy the skyblock island using a worldedit addon and paste it many time as you want

[prisma shard]

oh a island for each person?
then you can use playerSpawn event for each player and whenever they join, you can generate each island for them and teleport them to the each island
you can edit the overworld file to make everything void, so it looks like actual "sky"block

[chilly fractal]

Thought so too

Well, is there anyway to make tamed zombies and skeletons?

Like they can't and won't target you

Even if you attack them

[chilly fractal]

Cuz that's way too many entity files

Python

[wheat condor]

that's easy

[chilly fractal]

I don't understand

What do you exactly mean?

[wheat condor]

just edit this and place it in bp/entities/zombie.json

[chilly fractal]

Aight but, i gotta do it for Skeletons, endermen, wardens, and a whole lot more

[wheat condor]

well you have to

[chilly fractal]

Yea

That's why i said I'm gonna need to make a python script

[wheat condor]

but after you do 1 time you just have to copy paste

[chilly fractal]

But i have to find the vanilla file, find where to place it, then place it, then save it.

That isn't an easy task when dealing with many files

So i said, i would make a python script. I forgot to add "to automate this process" (my bad), but you get the point, right?

Just use javascript's Date.now() method

Always runs

[fallow rivet]

After setting the game clock with the world time, I can synchronize the world and game clock with this code.

[valid ice]

Always updates

Accurate down to the millisecond

[dim tusk]

don't put the world dynamic property inside of for each of players and Date.now() exists accurately

the formatting hurts me

[valid ice]

Plus game code can be slowed down by internal processing- which, may not seem like much, but over the course of days, weeks, months it would build up substantially

[fallow rivet]

system.runInterval(()=>{
let date = new Date();
let hour = date.getUTCHours();

Does the navigator work in scripts?

[digital trout]

Does "getProperty()" work with molang variables like "is_casting" or "variable.attack_time"?

[wary edge]

Those are not properties.

[digital trout]

Is there a way to query those in script API?

[valid ice]

Nope

Client side only

[digital trout]

hmm

Is there another way to check if the behavior 'minecraft:behavior.summon_entity' is active?

[valid ice]

Might be able to rig something up with BP animations/animation controllers, but I dunno if it works for all variables (it does work for attack time, at the minimum)

[valid ice]

If you set an entity property at the same time the component is added (using component groups) you can test that via scripts

[digital trout]

not that it has the component, but that it is actively casting

same as the 'query.is_casting' molang expression

could use the casting component to set a property with a timer and then have it expire at the same time the animation ends

[valid ice]

Ah I see

That’s a tricky one for sure

just looping through every item id lol

Use a entity container to store the latest item that every player discarts(?

You can set dynamic properties on items, use it to set the owner of the item

When a player discarts an item find if theres an item that the player own in the container yet, if it is just replace the slot, that way it will be 1 slot for every player

And if too many players discarts items and exceeds the container size delete the oldest item

||(It will be more realistic if you cant take trash from other players 👀)||

Yo does know how I'd detect swapping, say helmets?

See, i add a set of 10 hearts when a player has a crown on their head (elected leader)... i want to remove these extra hearts when he isn't wearing that item anymore

[dim tusk]

nah.

best you could do is check if he's wearing it or na.

[chilly fractal]

Well, I'd say using itemUse

I used the afterEvent for enchanting and i was testing enchanting armor

And it swapped

[dim tusk]

then how you'll check they wear it thru inventory?

[chilly fractal]

Assuming delaying the check till the next tick and checking if they have the crown in their hand if they have it in their head slot before the system.run?

Could work

I'll test and see

[distant tulip]

you could make your own event using interval

[chilly fractal]

Nah, itemUse is enough

I believe.

[distant tulip]

the player can just open inv and change it

[chilly fractal]

True..

Hmmm... alright i guess that's my only option. To use interval.

[dim tusk]

yeah, that's why I said this.

[jade grail]

Is there any better way to get a few blocks forward from view direction im tryna make an apply knockback in the direction your facing but its prety buggy

some times sending me in the oposite direction

usually when im looking abit lower it sends me back and when look higher sends forward

and the knockback when tryna go diagonal is a bit off

[cold grove]

x, y, and z axis?

[jade grail]

Yeh

[cold grove]

i'm asking

[jade grail]

wdym?

[cold grove]

get ViewDirection is a Vector3 so you are missing one axis

thats why is buggy

[jade grail]

Y axis i always want to go up

not down

[cold grove]

applyKnockback({ x: view_location.x, z: view_location.z } , 2)

[cold grove]

y is up and down

[jade grail]

ye?

but i dont want to change the y so i dont use it

i got it fixed at 2

[cold grove]

?????

[jade grail]

? you know how the lifeboat feather works

it flings u forward and up

thats what im tryna get

Hello Guys

Quick question

Is it possible to remove the Animation when Closing and Opening a Action or Modal form UI?
I want to make a thing where the "UI" updates itself, but the animation is really annpying

[dim tusk]

#1067869374410657962

try checking Herobrine's Chest UI

[distant gulch]

... is this the only solution

[dim tusk]

he did that.

[dim tusk]

Yeh

[distant gulch]

ugh

anyways, thanks

[dim tusk]

there's no way to actually removed that since it's server side.

unless Mojang added client, probably

[meager pulsar]

someone know?

the right sintaxis

i also tried with "withState" but neither work

[dim tusk]

go open a world try checking the states it accepts in setblock or fill command

/setblock water[] or /setblock flowing_water[]

[meager pulsar]

The state is "liquid_depth" I just don't know what's the sintaxis to check for that specific state

[dim tusk]

Block.permutation.getState('liquid_depth')?

[meager pulsar]

[stark kestrel]

guys

my scripts use like 27 entity hurt for weapon ces, what should i do? make every ce a function and run it in one single entity hurt with if or anything else to do?

i didnt think of optimization earlier 😭

[lofty cape]

Make them a function and run them in one onEntityHurt event. And use switch-case instead of if-else

[stark kestrel]

switch case would run only 1? wouldnt it

so instead if cases for all of em?

what about, making if statements for all, if the dynamic property (enchantment lvl) greater or equal than 1, it runs?

[lofty cape]

In that case if-else is the solution, try it ig

[stark kestrel]

wouldnt if-else still run only 1?

[lofty cape]

??

[stark kestrel]

if-else runs only 1 condition, which is correct and true, doesn't it?

i think i only need to use if, nothing else.

[lofty cape]

I don't get it

If else can run multiple checks via || (or) and && (and) operator

[stark kestrel]

ah nvm

[stark kestrel]

let a = 10, b = 20;

if (a > 5) {
    console.log("A is greater than 5");
}

if (b > 15) {
    console.log("B is greater than 15");
}
```like this yeah?

[lofty cape]

Yep

[stark kestrel]

yeah i was confused when u said else 😭

cuz i cant use else in this

[lofty cape]

👍

[sage portal]

is the new scriptevent method in stable now? If so, how does it work? I'm planning on using it more often after I update to the next hotfix.

[sharp elbow]

I would make an array of objects for each subscribable event. There would be a "condition" property and a "execute" property. Then you can iterate all effects in a loop; you won't have to change any files in hurtEffect.js, just import the array and push to it.

// hurtEffects.js
import {world, EntityHurtAfterEvent} from "@minecraft/server";
/**
 * @typedef {Object} HurtEffect
 * @property {(e: EntityHurtAfterEvent) => boolean} HurtEffect.condition
 * @property {(e: EntityHurtAfterEvent) => void} HurtEffect.execute
 */

/** @type HurtEffect[] */
const HurtEffects = [];
export default HurtEffects;

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(onEntityHurt);
/** @param {EntityHurtAfterEvent} e */
function onEntityHurt(e) {
  return HurtEffects.find(Effect => Effect.condition(e))?.execute(e);
}

// poisonBlade.js
import HurtEffects from 'hurtEffects';

HurtEffects.push({
  condition(e) {
    return e.damageSource.damagingEntity.name == "MadBoy";
  },
  execute(e) {
    e.hurtEntity.addEffect("poison", 100);
  }
});

            for (let y = 0; y <= 1; y++) {
                const direction = { x, y, z: 3 };
                const blockRaycast = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay(playerPos, direction, { maxDistance: 20 });
                let block = blockRaycast?.block;

                if (block && block.typeId.includes("_log")) {
                    const blockLoc = block.location;
                    world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync(`summon space:anomaly ${blockLoc.x} ${blockLoc.y} ${blockLoc.z + 1} facing @a log`);
                    world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync("tag @a add tree");
                    system.clearRun(checkLogs);
                    return;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}, 10);

});
Is this the correct way of looping my system.runInterval until my condition is met?

world.afterEvents.playerJoin.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const now = new Date();
    const localHour = now.getHours();

    let greetingMessage = "h";

    if (localHour >= 5 && localHour < 12) {
        greetingMessage = "The sun rises, but the shadows grow longer...";
    } else if (localHour >= 12 && localHour < 17) {
        greetingMessage = "The midday sun is harsh, but something stirs in the distance...";
    } else if (localHour >= 17 && localHour < 20) {
        greetingMessage = "The evening grows dark, and something watches you...";
    } else {
        greetingMessage = "The night is silent, yet you feel you are not alone...";
    }
     world.sendMessage(greetingMessage)
});

Also why does this only work the first two times the player joins it just doesn't work after that

[cold grove]

maybe be just coincidence? try using playerSpawn event instead of playerJoin, and check if initialSpawn = true

playerJoin triggers even if the player is in the loading screen

If you want an add-on made for you for free, you're most likely out of luck. The best thing you can do is watch tutorials and read guides so you can learn how to develop it yourself.

[winter plaza]

How do you do a side knockback? Using the entity.applyKnockback()

[unique dragon]

applyKnockback(
    directionX: number,
    directionZ: number,
    horizontalStrength: number,
    verticalStrength: number,
)

[dim tusk]

Play around with it.js const view = player.getViewDirection(); player.applyKnockback(-view.x, view.z, 1, view.y);

[sharp elbow]

If you have two directions that you want knockback to be "sideways" to, you can compute the cross product to find the vector that is orthogonal to both inputs.

Say an action should push the player left from where they are looking. I would convert their rotation to spherical coordinates, then take the cross product of that and the Down vector ⟨0, -1, 0⟩

[dim tusk]

damn you math...
-# I know it's simple math but I hate it.

[sharp elbow]

Spherical coordinate function:
#1301499373061931119 message

export function Vector3_cross(v1, v2) {
  return {
    x: v1.y * v2.z - v1.z * v2.y,
    y: v1.z * v2.x - v1.x * v2.z,
    z: v1.x * v2.y - v1.y * v2.x
  }
}

const Forward = toSphericalFromRotation(1, player.getRotation().y, 0);
const Down = {x: 0, y: -1, z: 0};
const Left = Vector3_cross(Forward, Down);
// Left should now be left from facing dir

Although I realize the original spherical coordinate function I wrote isn't very smart with its inputs. Really should be able to pass a Vector2 in there

function DEG_TO_RAD(deg) {
  return (deg / 180) * Math.PI;
}

function toSphericalFromRotation(
    dist: number,
    rot: Vector2
) {
    const y_rot = -DEG_TO_RAD(rot.y), x_rot = DEG_TO_RAD(90 + rot.x);
    return {
        x: dist * Math.sin(y_rot) * Math.sin(x_rot),
        z: dist * Math.cos(y_rot) * Math.sin(x_rot),
        y: dist * Math.cos(x_rot)
    }
}

const Forward = toSphericalFromRotation(1, {y: player.getRotation().y, x: 0});
const Down = {x: 0, y: -1, z: 0};
const Left = Vector3_cross(Forward, Down);
// Left should now be left from facing dir

ItemStack doesn't exist in there

use equippable or inventory

const equippable = damagingEntity.getComponent('equippable');

                let block = blockRaycast?.block;

                if (block && block.typeId.includes("_log")) {
                    const blockLoc = block.location;
                    world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync(`summon space:anomaly ${blockLoc.x} ${blockLoc.y} ${blockLoc.z + 1} facing @a log`);
                    world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync("tag @a add tree");
                    system.clearRun(checkLogs);

For more information

[dim tusk]

runtInterval is a loop imagine a repeating command block

Tho I'm not quite sure what's your question...

[hazy cosmos]

in the documentation, they use a recursive function for the main execution of the script

i'm curious if the runInterval would be better optimized

I've seen ppl make functions in variable

how you do it

What is async actually

and whats the differnce with functions
.

like I saw ppl use await async blah blah:

const getBlockFromSurface = //..
await async getBlockFromSurface( );

Meanwhile you can do it with functions:

function getBlockFromSight() {

}

getBlockFromSight()

What does async,? and what is difference comparing to functions

[distant tulip]

you mean arrow functions or function expression
ah none of that

[distant tulip]

that not assigning the function to a variable
we are waiting for the function to return a value

can be useful in situation where the function take time to finish

[prisma shard]

What does async,? and what is difference comparing to functions

[distant tulip]

look into asynchronous functions and promise

                { x: 1, y: 1, z: 0 },
                { x: -1, y: 1, z: 0 },
                { x: 0, y: 1, z: 1 },
                { x: 0, y: 1, z: -1 },
                { x: 1, y: 0, z: 1 },
                { x: -1, y: 0, z: 1 },
            ];

            for (const direction of directions) {
                const blockRaycast = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay(playerPos, direction, { maxDistance: 20 });
                const block = blockRaycast?.block;

                if (block?.typeId.includes("_log")) {
                    const blockLoc = block.location;
                    player.dimension.runCommandAsync(
                        `execute as @a at @s run summon space:anomaly ~${blockLoc.x} ~${blockLoc.y} ~${blockLoc.z + 1} ~ ~`
                    );
                    world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync("tag @a add tree");
                    system.clearRun(checkLogs);
                    return;
               }
          }
      }
});

How to loop this with system.runInterval until found a log and stop that once found

[prisma shard]

ohhh nahhh
that's written like:

const getBlockFromSurface = (block) => {
  //..
}
async getBlockFromSurface();

[distant tulip]

nope, that is not valid

[prisma shard]

heh

idk man

[simple zodiac]

making a function async will not just magically make it more efficient

in fact often it decreases the performance due to the overhead from the promise

[distant tulip]

almost all that is wrong if i am being honest

[wary edge]

This is like...the most...wrong comparison I've seen.

[prisma shard]

everyone just casually roasted @wheat condor 77Carchi💀

[distant tulip]

corrected*
big different

-# waiting for dingsel to send his correction so i don't have to

[simple zodiac]

its quite hard to explain it in easy ways tbh but I will try my best

[distant tulip]

hence why i just told hem to look it up

[simple zodiac]

It does however make you able to write code that is distributed over a longer time and wait for that to finish. You are still making the same amount of calls, you just have the option to distribute them as said without blocking other execution. For example you could place a block in one tick and another block in a different tick. You can wait for the last operation to complete by resolving the promise and using await.

You are not gaining performance because of async/await but you rather "gain" performance because you are doing less in a single tick

[distant tulip]

yeah, the only way to gain performance using async is to divide the task into a small tasks and run each one after the other by waiting for each one to finish, kinda like runJob

also that is really not the point of async, same thing can be done with runtimeout in a regular function (the only different is that it is impossible to return a value that way)

in general async isn’t about speed it’s about responsiveness
If you're working with something that doesn’t need to finish immediately (like fetching external data or placing multiple blocks over time, waiting for the player response (that is why show function in forms is async))

[wheat condor]

i tried to explain it the best as i can

[chilly moth]

how do I open a entity click form when player is sneaking

like clicking a entity while sneaking to open a form?

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(ev => {
  const { target, player, itemStack } = ev;
  if (player.isSneaking && target.typeId === 'minecraft:creeper') {
    ev.cancel = true;
    // ...
  }
});```

[chilly moth]

ok thx

system.runInterval(() =>{
    for(let player of world.getPlayers()){
        if(player.hasTag("interact" && !Player.isSneaking )){
            interact(player)
            player.removeTag("interact")
        }
  }
  function interact (player) {
    const gui = new ActionFormData();

    gui.button('Jump Up!', 'textures/gui/menu/jump_up_icon')

    gui.button('Exit!', 'textures/gui/menu/exit_icon')
    gui.show(player).then(result => {
     
        if (result.selection === 1) {
            jump_up(player)
        }
        if (result.selection === 4) {
            exit(player)
        }
    }
)
}

function jump_up(player) {
    player.runCommandAsync("event entity @e [family=monkey,c=1,r=5] grlab:to_jump_up");
}

function exit(player) {
    player.runCommandAsync;
  }
})

is dips below 20TPS normal

[umbral dune]

How do I cast a ray to check if a block was hit with the desired origin and direction?

[prime zenith]

Why is MinecraftEffectTypes not working

[dim tusk]

is it a player?

player or not you could use getBlockFromRay()

[wary edge]

Are you bundling the vanilla data module?

[umbral dune]

is not from an entity

[dim tusk]

getBlockFromRay(location, direction, options?)

btw it's under dimension.

[prime zenith]

Foxed it

[prime zenith]

I found a fix

I needed to use Effects with a get method

Wait nvm

Its not setting the effect

[dim tusk]

Entity.addEffect('speed', duration * 20, { amplifier: 0, showParticles: false })

[prime zenith]

im trying to make a function i can run wherever that sets code for effects ill add aditional logic below in each case

Ohh wait its adding it for short sperts only

There we go

Ok what is the method to remove all effects from a player

What is the proper way to clear all effects on minecraft scripts

[dim tusk]

the only existing one is .removeEffect('<effect>')

[prime zenith]

Ohh so id need to remove specific effect that might not be a bad thing tbh

So player.removeEffect(effect) assuming effect is a variable

Cause ima create a function that takes in effect

[dim tusk]

to remove all effects just do getEffects() the get all current effects then get the ID then boom

[prime zenith]

That confuces me but i dont need to clear all effect i judt thought it was the only way

[dim tusk]

for (const effect of Player.getEffects()) Player.removeEffect(effect.typeId)```

[prime zenith]

Give me a reason just 1 reason why anyone would ever do an unsubscribe world event

[dim tusk]

if you're calling an event inside if an event

[deep quiver]

Perfomance reasons, for example you only need that event in an specific time frame like an boss fight or minigame

[prime zenith]

Ohhh so unsubscribe will still show the event just not all the time

[deep quiver]

unsubscribe unsubscribes from the event or stops the event listener

[prime zenith]

Is there an event for player moves player hits key or player is in a radius of certain coords

Ohhh i see

[valid ice]

There is an input event, but it's only for crouch/sneak and jump

[prime zenith]

Thats useful still what about if a plater is in radius of certain coords

[valid ice]

No direct event for that- you can use an interval and test their coords for that.

[prime zenith]

Ok so how do i do that then set there value to x y or z

[deep quiver]

I personally would just use the inbuild api as its better for performance in this case

interval:
dimension.getEntities({ type: "minecraft:player", location: {x,y,z}, maxDistance/Radius: 30})

Tbh I forgot the actual names for these fields, but there kinda like this

Im not on pc rn

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        const inputInfo = player.inputInfo;
        const movement = inputInfo.getMovementVector();
        const jump = inputInfo.getButtonState('Jump');
        const sneak = inputInfo.getButtonState('Sneak');

        const normalizedX = Math.abs(movement.x) > 0.2 ? Math.sign(movement.y) : 0;
        const normalizedY = Math.abs(movement.y) > 0.2 ? Math.sign(movement.y) : 0;

        if (normalizedY > 0) console.error('forward');
        else if (normalizedY < 0) console.error('backward');

        if (normalizedX > 0) console.error('left');
        else if (normalizedX < 0) console.error('right');

        if (jump === 'Pressed') console.error('jump');

        if (sneak === 'Pressed') console.error('sneak');
    }
});```

[valid ice]

Have to factor in view direction if you wanna get accurate direction buttons :(

[prime zenith]

Tbh all i need is an input to cancel crafting i tried with forms but the code wont run while forms are open so all i needcis to make it so thevplayer can cancel the crafting

[prime zenith]

@dim tusk so how would i use that all i really need is a way a player can do an imput so i can use that imput to cancel another script i have

[dim tusk]

What type of input.

As of now there's now way to detect buttons pressed btw.

[prime zenith]

It doesnt matter sneak works jump works

Any 1 imput i just need a way to cancel scripts by player input

[hazy cosmos]

what's your goto solution for connecting a database to a server via the ts api

[prime zenith]

@dim tusk

[dim tusk]

I'm asking, what type of input.

[prime zenith]

Whats possible

[dim tusk]

like be specific.

[dim tusk]

using items, using items on blocks, interaction with blocks, movement and camera.

[prime zenith]

Sneak ets do sneak

[dim tusk]

Player.inputPermissions.setPermissionCategory(5, false);
You can refer to the values of movements here, just change the 5 with values needed

[grave nebula]

im using server-net for the http, im also running a express server for a local db so i can export data, it wont send data but no errors

[prime zenith]

Why is that not in numeric order you know what never mind

Ltho that looks like its taking sneak away

Basicually what i need is to be able to run a function that returns sneak if sneaking so it can set canceled to true and stop the for loop

Well its not a for loop actually

Its a timed loop

[grave nebula]

player.isSneaking

[prime zenith]

Thats a valid input? Ok

[grave nebula]

its true or false

[valid ice]

world.afterEvents.playerButtonInput

[prime zenith]

Thats fine all i need is true or false

[sudden epoch]

Oka

[prisma shard]

anyone has a day counter script

like it shows how many days you've played

[dim tusk]

why?

There's a built-in thing already

If you mean just getting the current day do use world.getDay()

[wheat condor]

It is tick based not time based

[dim tusk]

nah, getDay returns the current day.

[prisma shard]

i thought of something like world.getAbsoluteTime() and then each night passes and i add one number to the variable ..
like:

if(world.getAbsoluteTime() == "") {
  counter++
}```

[wheat condor]

Again it’s tick based, if you do /time set 0 the days will return to 0

[dim tusk]

ahh

[lofty cape]

I really want to know that, is there a significant performance difference between those two methods?
Lets take 5 sleeping players as example, would it lag like crazy on the 1st method?

[prisma shard]

??

just putting the night time value

and then should it work

[wheat condor]

Since sleeping takes more than 1 tick you can optimize it by setting the runinterval al 20 ticks and check the sleeping by player.isSleeping == true, then you can optimize even more dividono the players in each tick

Btw the second is the best option

[dim tusk]

It's a number not string.

[lofty cape]

Sorry for the confusion but it's not vanilla sleep, sleep.onSleep() runs some necessary code per tick

[wheat condor]

The day starts at tick 6000

[wheat condor]

Well if you don’t want lag you should avoid:
Commands
Tags
Scoreboard

If you give me the full code i can optimize it as best as I can

[prisma shard]

ohhh wait @wheat condor @dim tusk
every minecraft day is 24 000 ticks long
so get currentTick and divide it via 24 000
then maybe that will get number of days
will that work? am i right?

[wheat condor]

That’s just world.getday()

[prisma shard]

..

what should i do

[dim tusk]

currentTick doesn't reset?

[wheat condor]

You need something that counts play time as minutes or as ticks?

[prisma shard]

how do i use world.getDay() to make the day counter.. that's the question

[dim tusk]

Ah nvm.

[prisma shard]

just days

like a night passes == new day

we've to detect when the night passes, so then we can add new day

[lofty cape]

The code's running smoothly so far, I was just asking that if script event is called on multiple entities at the same tick, would it lag too much?

[dim tusk]

Well, it depends on what you are doing in the same tick

[prisma shard]

?

[lofty cape]

I see

Thanks for the info, both of you!

[dim tusk]

let tick = world.getDynamicProperty('tick') ?? 0;
let dayCount = world.getDynamicProperty('dayCount') ?? 0;

system.runInterval(() => {
    tick += 1;

    if (tick >= 24000) {
        tick = 0; 
        dayCount += 1; 
        world.setDynamicProperty('dayCount', dayCount);
    }

    world.setDynamicProperty('tick', tick);
});

[prisma shard]

maybe i remeber someone made day counter bfore

[prisma shard]

and how do i show the day

wheres the variable

[dim tusk]

This shit is random only

[dim tusk]

umm, dayCount??

[prisma shard]

so,
console.warn(${dayCount}) ??

[wheat condor]

Bro how can the tick be 24000

[honest spear]

really good explenation

[wheat condor]

It’s just ChatGPT

[honest spear]

understanding how JS handles execution is the key to success

[prisma shard]

oh hey! can you help me about how can i make a Day Counter?

[dim tusk]

????

[honest spear]

Get current tick and divide it by 24000

ohh

for each player?

then count ticks the are in world

[prisma shard]

is this script fine ?

let tick = world.getDynamicProperty('tick') ?? 0;
let dayCount = world.getDynamicProperty('dayCount') ?? 0;

system.runInterval(() => {
    tick += 1;

    if (tick >= 24000) {
        tick = 0; 
        dayCount += 1; 
        world.setDynamicProperty('dayCount', dayCount);
    }

    world.setDynamicProperty('tick', tick);
});

is this script fine for what i want

?

[honest spear]

could work but definitely not good

its waste of performance

[prisma shard]

can you improve it

[wheat condor]

If it’s for the world is just useless math, you just need world.getday()

[dim tusk]

yeah definitely not lmfao

[honest spear]

i just stop reading it once i saw runInterwal thats why i said so haha

[dim tusk]

We set dynamic property per tick which is bad.

-# not really but not worth it

[honest spear]

yea, i said that, its definitely not good

anyway

lets fix it

[wheat condor]

Bro just use world.getDay()

[prisma shard]

bro is just shouting world.getDay()😭 but its not used in this script

[honest spear]

bad as well

[wheat condor]

Why is it?

[honest spear]

hear me out

[honest spear]

not per player

[dim tusk]

ahh, the guy who said not to use it, suggests using it.

[wheat condor]

So you need it per player?

[honest spear]

well here is pseudo

[wheat condor]

If it’s for world it’s fine, else not

[dim tusk]

sigh why would in the first place I suggested the getDay()

[prisma shard]

Bro, can yoou please tell me improving the script?? one guy is saying to use world.getDay() or is the script i showed you is it fine??

[honest spear]

on-player-join:
  player.joinTime = getTime

on-please-leave:
  player.totalPlayTime += getTime - player.joinTime

thats the pseudo

use it and code it

each time they play add it to the total time once the left

or server shutdowns

[wheat condor]

If you need it per player, just add a dynamic property to catch the Eorld.getAbsoljteTime() when the player joins and when the player leaves, then sum it everytime to keep only 1 value and add everytime

[wheat condor]

Yeah we were thinking the same thing

[distant tulip]

//save when player join so we can use it later
world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event) => {
    const {player,initialSpawn} = event
    if(!initialSpawn) return
    player.setDynamicProperty("joinTime",Date.now())
});

//save time played in this session + the previous ones
world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe((event) => {
    const {player} = event
    const time = getPlayedTime(player)
    player.setDynamicProperty("playedTime", time)
});

//get the current time played
world.afterEvents.chatSend.subscribe((event) => {
    const {sender,message} = event
    if(message != "!playedTime") return

    const time = getPlayedTime(sender)
    sender.sendMessage(`You played for ${time} seconds`)
});


function getPlayedTime(player) {
    const playedTime = player.getDynamicProperty("playedTime")??0
    const joinTime = player.getDynamicProperty("joinTime")??0
    //Date.now() - joinTime >>> current session time
    //Date.now() - joinTime + playedTime >>> current session time + previous ones >>> total time
    return Date.now() - joinTime + playedTime
}

[honest spear]

so you actually using real time not MC ticks?

I think he wish to count in MC days

[distant tulip]

oh, i guess he could change it

[honest spear]

so you guess, huh, I guess 90% of the script api members don't know diff between word "Script API" and "JavaScript", but you already helped more than enought

😭
