Script API General

[turbid delta]

really cool, how come the form is able to show no buttons?

[distant tulip]

event.sourceEntity.runCommand

[ivory bough]

Oh

[warped kelp]

Would this run if an entity calls the event? ||dumb question I know 😭||

[distant tulip]

yes

you need to filter the entity type

[warped kelp]

Yes

[warped kelp]

Could I use the components of a mob's minecraft:health to detect if a mob's health is at a certain value using Entity.getProperty?

[distant tulip]

entity.getComponent("minecraft:health").currentValue

[warped kelp]

Thank you

[prime zenith]

@dim tusk i actually got it to work tho i may need to work with it so that the display looks nicer

[safe stream]

are complex topics like generic constraints needed for bedrock development ?

[proud saddle]

can we check if player on dimension switch screen

[distant tulip]

no, but you can still use them

[distant tulip]

no

[prime zenith]

can i get help so my systemrun wont try to spawn entities when unloaded as it throws an error when it does

full code #1346125732463771739

[prime zenith]

Got it to work

[prisma shard]

is it possible to get minecraft version using script api?
(i know it is not possible, but just for clarification)

[wary edge]

Only for editor module.

[prisma shard]

is it importable just like @ minecraft/server

[prime zenith]

Next on the list of vanilla features ill be gutting

Fishing

Am i making minecraft better or is this no longer minecraft at this point and should be advertised as a game if its own

[night acorn]

huh?

[jade grail]

Anyone got a quick function to get closest player in a certain range

[unique acorn]

world.getDimension("dimension_name").getPlayers({ location: Vector3, maxDistance: Number, closest: Number})

closest is the amount of players to get based on closest to furthest, and it returns an array of players

[jade grail]

dam ty

that gonna help alot

[subtle cove]

player.dimension.getPlayers({ location: player.location })[1]

[prime zenith]

@dim tusk i wanted to ty for the bank after fixing a few broken logics it works but do you know how i can make the button displays remove the namespace which is either minecraft or tg

[subtle cove]

typeId.split(':').pop()

[prime zenith]

What about removing under scores

[valid ice]

typeId.replace(/.*(?<=:)/, '').replace(/_/g, ' ').replace(/(^\w|\s\w)/g, (m) => m.toUpperCase());

[prisma shard]

a question
with script api
How do i get if player is looking at "down" or "up" ?
i know i have to use player.getRotation() but what do i have to do with it

@valid ice

[valid ice]

._.

y rotation is your yaw, x rotation is your pitch

[subtle cove]

console.warn(JSON.stringify(player.getRotation()))

[prisma shard]

oh do i use pitch

[valid ice]

looking straight down gives an x of 90, straight up is x of -90

[subtle cove]

Them move ur view

[prime zenith]

Next q this may be a json ui question but how do i add a picture in the form tied to the item some items have 1 im not sure how or why but others dont

[valid ice]

wdym

[prisma shard]

if (player.getRotation().x > 85) {
  // player is looking down
}

if (player.getRotation().x < -85) {
  // player is looking up
}

is it right then

[valid ice]

yeah

I think vanilla blocks use an angle of 60, but that would work too 👍

[prime zenith]

I have a bank script that lets you deposit or withdraw items and sets as a dynamic some items loke crafting table have a pic but i gtg work calls

[prime zenith]

How do i create particles in script

[humble lintel]

how to spawn particles?

world.getDimension('overworld').spawnParticle()?

[unique acorn]

are you asking a question or answering a question

[humble lintel]

asking an answering

[unique acorn]

makes sense

[prime zenith]

What i need is when a certain item is used it sends particles for x amount of blocks or until it hits an entity and if it hits an entity it runs a function

In the dirrection player is facing

[cold grove]

Particles will just be a visual thing, you dont need particles for that

[prime zenith]

I need the visual

Cause im effectively making spells

[cold grove]

particles doenst detect entities, thats my point

[prime zenith]

I know but i can run it side by side cant i

[cold grove]

Not enough data

Btw

An area?

[prime zenith]

1 sec ill send you pseudo code

[wary edge]

@prime zenith

What you would need is a particle that has molang variables to essentially rotate. Then, using math, get the angle from the block to the entity, pass that data to the particle and spawn it.

[prime zenith]

Which i have no idea how to do at all

[wary edge]

// Pseudocode
ItemUse->raycast
If(raycast){
// Do math to get rotation
Const m = new MolangVariableMap
m.setFloat()
...
Dimension.spawnParticle(particle, m)
}

[prime zenith]

So pseufo code

Player uses certain item with data magic
It checks a mage spell scoreboard
All of the above i csn do
Then it gets the way your facing runs a detect 1 block ahead applies particle then 2 then 3 until it reaches weapons range variable or detects an entity

Idk what raycast is btw

[humble lintel]

Raycast is when you draw a line from one position to another and it sends the data of whatever it hits back to you

[prime zenith]

Ok might be a bit of a learning curve to use tbh

Can anyone help me learn how to use raycast

[humble lintel]

i can

[junior hill]

    const { source: player, block } = event;
    const mainhand = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);

    if (player.isSneaking && mainhand?.typeId === "minecraft:wooden_sword") {
        system.run(() => rotateBlock(block));
    } else {
        console.log("Rip.");
    }
});```
Why can only one person use the item with the script at a time?

[prime zenith]

Can we voice chat later

[humble lintel]

sure i can try

[junior hill]

Wait oops

const maxSpin = 15;

function rotateBlock(block) {

    const currentState = block.permutation.getState("JCTbuild:spin");
    let spinValue = currentState || 1;


    let newSpin = (spinValue % maxSpin) + 1;


    const newPermutation = block.permutation.withState("JCTbuild:spin", newSpin);

    block.setPermutation(newPermutation);
}

world.beforeEvents.itemUseOn.subscribe((event) => {
    const { source: player, block } = event;
    const mainhand = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);

    if (player.isSneaking && mainhand?.typeId === "minecraft:wooden_sword") {
        system.run(() => rotateBlock(block));
    } else {
        console.log("Rip.");
    }
});

Why does the item is not able to use it at the same time as someone else, when using the script?

[humble lintel]

here

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

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(data => {
    const item = data.itemStack;
    const name = item.nameTag;

    if (name != 'wand' || item.typeId != 'minecraft:stick') return;
    const player = data.source;
    const location = player.getHeadLocation()
    const direction = player.getViewDirection()
    let raycast = player.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay(location, direction);

    if (raycast.length < 1) return;
    for (let hit of raycast) {
        const entity = hit.entity;
        if (entity == player) continue;
        system.run(() => {entity.applyDamage(5)});
    }
})

[prime zenith]

Now that works instantly i assume i do need to slow it down so i can make a partical line from player to entity

[humble lintel]

it does work instantly yes

[dim tusk]

I'm in preview...

i just remove the debug screen on top...

it can have no buttons without throwing errors now...

[humble lintel]

yuou coudl increment the steps

from the raycast?

[prime zenith]

Like add a timeout

[humble lintel]

every step make a particle

no

let me writei t rq

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ itemStack, source }) => {
    if (itemStack.nameTag !== 'wand' || itemStack.typeId !== 'minecraft:stick') return;
    
    const { dimension } = source;
    const head = source.getHeadLocation(), view = source.getViewDirection();

    for (const { entity } of dimension.getEntitiesFromRay({ x: head.x, y: head.y + 0.1, z: head.z }, view)) {
        if (entity !== source) system.run(() => entity.applyDamage(5));
    }
});

[humble lintel]

?

same thing

variables makes it more understandable

[junior hill]

If anyone can help me, https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1346205642859217011

[prime zenith]

Ill be moving it to its own function as world event will get all the data so it can make sure the mainhand has the tag then will dettect what spell it is player stats ect to calculate its damage from other files but once i learn how this works and learn particles im sure ill figure it out

[dim tusk]

i didn't say anything about your original code thoo

[prime zenith]

Tho any idea the best way to add particles so it looks like its a straight line

[dim tusk]

What are you doing again btw??

[humble lintel]

just ocnfused why u rewrote lol

[humble lintel]

oen sec writing it rn

[dim tusk]

I hate too many variables when you can do it directly

[humble lintel]

better for peopel who are trying to learn

[prime zenith]

Im opposite i like variables

[humble lintel]

^

[dim tusk]

then go cause I don't like them especially make my code long

[sharp elbow]

Otherwise I agree with Coddy

[humble lintel]

jsut preference

[dim tusk]

I mean, since it's basic yes but for short things I usually do variables but I still do direct since it's somewhat annoying

[prime zenith]

That may be why it took so long to break down coddies codes

[dim tusk]

anyways, that's not the point rn...

[dim tusk]

mb, I usually do codes with some knowledge persons lol

[humble lintel]

import { Vector3Builder, Vector3Utils } from '@minecraft/math';
import { world, system } from '@minecraft/server';

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(data => {
    const item = data.itemStack;
    const name = item.nameTag;

    if (name != 'wand' || item.typeId != 'minecraft:stick') return;
    const player = data.source;
    const location = player.getHeadLocation()
    const direction = player.getViewDirection()
    const raycast = player.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay(location, direction);

    const range = 10;
    if (raycast.length < 1) return;
    for (let hit of raycast) {
        const entity = hit.entity;
        if (entity == player || hit.distance > 10) continue;

        const difference =  Vector3Utils.subtract(location, entity.location);
        for (let step = 1; step < 10; step ++) {
            const transform = Vector3Utils.subtract(location, Vector3Utils.scale(difference, step / 10));
            system.run(() => {player.dimension.spawnParticle('minecraft:heart_particle', transform);})
        }

        system.run(() => {entity.applyDamage(5)});
    }
})

here

[prime zenith]

Knowing isnt the factor its prefferences

[dim tusk]

teach him how to install the bundle...

[humble lintel]

oh yeh awhoops

uh its hard'

[dim tusk]

In that case just directly make math...

[humble lintel]

so uh might have to do math

yeah one sec

lol

[prime zenith]

I can store variables externally once and reuse

[humble lintel]

import { world, system, Vector3 } from '@minecraft/server';

function vectorSubtract(vector1 : Vector3, vector2 : Vector3) {
    return {x: vector1.x - vector2.x, y: vector1.y - vector2.y, z: vector1.z - vector2.z};
}

function vectorScale(vector : Vector3, scale : number) {
    return {x: vector.x * scale, y: vector.y * scale, z: vector.z * scale}
}

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(data => {
    const item = data.itemStack;
    const name = item.nameTag;

    if (name != 'wand' || item.typeId != 'minecraft:stick') return;
    const player = data.source;
    const location = player.getHeadLocation()
    const direction = player.getViewDirection()
    const raycast = player.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay(location, direction);

    const range = 10;
    if (raycast.length < 1) return;
    for (let hit of raycast) {
        const entity = hit.entity;
        if (entity == player || hit.distance > 10) continue;

        const difference =  vectorSubtract(location, entity.location);
        for (let step = 1; step < 10; step ++) {
            const transform = vectorSubtract(location, vectorScale(difference, step / 10));
            system.run(() => {player.dimension.spawnParticle('minecraft:heart_particle', transform);})
        }

        system.run(() => {entity.applyDamage(5)});
    }
})

i kinda have it written in ts so just ignore the : Vector if u dont use typings

[dim tusk]

my muscle memory is insane wadahell...

[prime zenith]

Wait so ignore vector?

[humble lintel]

ignor teh : vector in the functions

if yo udont write in typscreiopt

my keyboard has low actuation so i mistype a lot

mb

[dim tusk]

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ itemStack, source }) => {
    if (itemStack.nameTag !== 'wand' || itemStack.typeId !== 'minecraft:stick') return;

    const { dimension } = source;
    const head = source.getHeadLocation(), view = source.getViewDirection();

    for (const { entity, distance } of dimension.getEntitiesFromRay({ x: head.x, y: hesd.y + 0.1, z: head.z }, view)) {
        if (entity.id === source.id || distance > 10) continue;

        const diff = { 
            x: head.x - entity.location.x, 
            y: head.y - entity.location.y, 
            z: head.z - entity.location.z 
        };

        for (let step = 1; step < 10; step++) {
            const scale = step / 10;
            system.run(() => dimension.spawnParticle('minecraft:heart_particle', { 
                    x: head.x - diff.x * scale, 
                    y: head.y - diff.y * scale, 
                    z: head.z - diff.z * scale 
                }));
        }

        system.run(() => entity.applyDamage(5));
    }
});

[humble lintel]

this is if u dotn wantvariables or extra functions ^

[dim tusk]

my phone is lagging wtf

[humble lintel]

lol

[dim tusk]

the length difference is insane...

[humble lintel]

lol'

it is good practice tho to use varibles, mroe readable for others if that's what ur going for

[prime zenith]

To be honest i could get all the player info set to a var in a reusable function

[dim tusk]

and... Longer

[prime zenith]

There for its the best of both worlds

Reusable and readable

[dim tusk]

btw, unrelated but what did you do to the banking system I gave?

[dim tusk]

your opinion then, you'll get maybe in future what I meant...

soo, the getEntitiesFromRay isn't entirely accurate btw...

[prime zenith]

I split it up for 1 set it based if bankmode is 1 it runs deposit if 2 it runs withdraw then turns bankmode to 0 when selection is made it reopens form

It runs withdraw 1 at a time so stacks wont break

[dim tusk]

unlike getBlockFromRay()

[turbid delta]

That's a thing

Ima have fun with that

[prime zenith]

Im not at a computer so im hoping when i get home me and bar can voice chat

[dim tusk]

umm, why get equippable if they are built in ItemStack already?

world.beforeEvents.itemUseOn.subscribe(({ source: player, itemStack, block }) => {
  if (player.isSneaking && itemStack.typeId === 'minecraft:wooden_sword') {
    system.run(() => rotateBlock(block));
  } else console.error('Rip');
});```

[untold magnet]

hmm, is it possible to detect the player while mining a block, not by detecting the block using getBlockFromViewDistance thing.

[dim tusk]

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({ brokenBlockPermutation, player, itemStackAfterBreak, itemStackBeforeBreak }) => {
  if (brokenBlockPermutation.type.id === 'minecraft:tnt') {
    // ...
  }
});```

[untold magnet]

i can use entityHitBlock component, but u can hit around the block and then mine it normally

[untold magnet]

thats unwhat i meant

( breaking the block, like how u try to mine bedrock when u was a kid )

[dim tusk]

I assume you know it's permutation so you use type.id

[untold magnet]

like detecting if the player input mode is the attack / break after the player hit the block

[untold magnet]

lemme show u an example,

a bad example,

[untold magnet]

trying to make it so when u are mining the block, u will keep getting damaged,,

^ just an example ^

[dim tusk]

rl craft?

[untold magnet]

na, its just an example, i have another idea somewhere in my brain

[dim tusk]

I don't think there's a way...

[untold magnet]

like its not possible to detect the input key ( attack / breaking ) ?

[dim tusk]

nah. molang onky

variable.attack_time

[untold magnet]

like i have to edit the player json or something idk

[dim tusk]

yeah I guess so. That's the best thing you can do...

[untold magnet]

variable.attack_time >= 20 ( on ticks ? )

[dim tusk]

no, that molang is based into the current swing rotation of players arms

it's from 0.0 to 1.0, it's a float

[untold magnet]

ah,

[dim tusk]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/documentation/queries.html#variable-attack-time

[untold magnet]

so in general its not possible to detect if the player is Minging the block or Not

[dim tusk]

yeah, but not currently mining

after mining only...

[untold magnet]

and its not possible to use molang on scripts ig, right?

[junior hill]

Is that why?

The script wont work with 2 players at the same time?

[dim tusk]

you wanted it to not work or want it to work?

[junior hill]

I want it too

[dim tusk]

I think it might work, I dunno any reason it won't? Just try it yet tho...

[untold magnet]

hmm, i can make it keep damaging u after hitting the block instead

[junior hill]

Lol I made the script for a client and he bugging me abt this happening so ig so

I never had this problem with my other scripts

I dont understand this bug at all

[dim tusk]

tbh, your old one should also work, I dunno why it doesn't work? The only problem in your previous one is you're using equippable if there's built-in one...

[untold magnet]

hmmmmm, my brain is kinda working,
but frist, is it possible to remove tags via molang?

like query.getTags() in the player.json

hmm,

[dim tusk]

Use server anim controller then run a commands...

and no you can't check tags using molang since they didn't add it...

Tags on items and blocks yes but not entities...

[untold magnet]

lemme show u my idea TO detect mining the block

when the player hit a block, he will get a tag, and via molang, i can detect the arm swing if it is swinging or not,
if it is the tag will not removed, else the tag will be removed,
and via scripts, i can make a system that can detect blocks from the view distance by 3×3×3 area, and if the player is facing into that box and he have the tag, he will keep taking damage overtime

@dim tusk ^
what d u think?

( i just need to make the molang that will detect if the player is swinging his hand / has a specific tag )

[dim tusk]

As I said there's no molang to check tags in entities.

[prime zenith]

Im not looking forward to needing to texture hundreds if not thousands of items

Can i make a item render so it looks like your holding it with 2 hands

[untold magnet]

like the charged crossbow? or like holding a gun?

yes u can do that, but u need a custom geo items in order to make that happen

[untold magnet]

but it is possible to detect if the player is swinging his hand or not

[dim tusk]

yes.

[prime zenith]

My mind was going 2 handed sword

I have a wep cooldown system i just hate how it will still create a damage indicater even if on cooldown i wish i could remove damage indicaters entirely

[fallen hearth]

${player.name} undefined?

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ damageSource: player, deadEntity: entity }) => {
  world.sendMessage(
      `${entity.typeId} died from ${player.name}!`
  );
});

[distant tulip]

damageSource.damagingEntity

[prime zenith]

How do i give a vanilla mob a custum loot table that overwrites its vanilla

[fallen hearth]

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ damageSource.damagingEntity: player, deadEntity: entity }) => {}

[dim tusk]

{ damageSource: { damagingEntity } }```

[fallen hearth]

nice

thankys

[prime zenith]

@fallen hearth if you want the code to only run if its a player use an if for if damaging soyrce is not a player then return

[fallen hearth]

okay

[prime zenith]

How much would it cost to just pay someone to make me a dragon entity

[fallen hearth]

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ damageSource: { damagingEntity: player }, deadEntity: entity }) => {
  if(player.typeId != "minecraft:player") return
  world.sendMessage(
      `${entity.typeId} died from ${player.name}!`
  );
});

[prime zenith]

Im horrible at blockbench

[fallen hearth]

when I use /kill it causes an error in the log

[untold magnet]

well, i am trying to rework the RL craft tree chopping system from java to bedrock, but using my own unique way ( just testing )

[prime zenith]

You want to set just damaging entity and check if damaging entity is player

[dim tusk]

I damn knew it lnfao

[untold magnet]

( bec i am thinking about making an addon after my big boy 'exe' )

[dim tusk]

/kill isn't a damager.

that's why it throws a error

it can't find the damage or killer

[untold magnet]

i will rework the entire how to play minecraft :v
after 'exe' ig

[dim tusk]

do js if (player?.typeId !== 'minecraft:player') {}

the damagingEntity can be undefined that's why ? is there.

[fallen hearth]

nice

[prime zenith]

If i ran kill @e in real life would you all be mad at me or just not care cause youd be dead

[untold magnet]

how to do /kill @e in the real world:
step 1: be a god
mission failed

[prime zenith]

Are you questioning my godliness

[fast lark]

Hi yall

[prime zenith]

You can call me princess not yall

[fast lark]

[dim tusk]

The fuck is happening go in #off-topic

[untold magnet]

na, i'd rather go to #art-and-modeling instead

[prime zenith]

You cant derail off topic cause its already off topic get with the program there coddy

😛

[dim tusk]

I'm not actually kidding..

[dim tusk]

You too...

[jade grail]

is this not right?

[prime zenith]

/tp coddy ~ -65 ~

[jade grail]

heres the full line

Oml dw i found the probably

the f in feet need be cap

[prime zenith]

My feet arent capped my feet are shoed

[dim tusk]

Feet with capital letter

[dim tusk]

why you teleport me up in the sky and that's not how you summon me...

[prime zenith]

-65 is not up

I did relative x relative z and -65 absolute y

Thats the void my friend

[misty pivot]

how do i get the name of the button the user clicked in ActionFormData

[dim tusk]

Dud, my blind asf didn't realize it's - not ~

[fast lark]

I see al minus

Btw that command does not work

Someone know if there is an event to detect a server starting up or crashing/close?

And one to detect when a player us whispering

Is*

[dim tusk]

it will work...

[dim tusk]

const buttons = ['first', 'second'];

new ActionFormData()
  .title('test')
  .button(buttons[0])
  .button(buttons[1])
  .show(player)
  .then(({ selection }) => {
    if (selection === undefined) return;
    const button = buttons[selection];
    player.sendMessage(`You clicked: ${button}`);
  });

That's the closest one

[dim tusk]

It's a valid command so yeah it will work you can mix to use ~, ^ and a number...

[fast lark]

I see all minus idk about you

[dim tusk]

~ -65 ~??

tilde number tilde

how it's not valid?

[fast lark]

Yeah im blind

[fast lark]

Coddy one question

[valid ice]

You can use world initialize for startup- nothing exists for shutdown, unless you’re using preview, and idk if it triggers for crashes at all.
And whispering is a no-go

[fast lark]

How can i take the XUID of a player with script

[valid ice]

System before events for preview mc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/systembeforeevents?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental

[fast lark]

Thx a lot

[misty pivot]

ah, didn't think of that, thanks, i could also put textures inside of the array, thanks again

[dim tusk]

Not possible..

[fast lark]

Sad

[valid ice]

Unless BDS

[fast lark]

Sorry if im stupid but BDS = ???

[dim tusk]

as Herobrine said if preview the system.beforeEvents.shutdown.subscribe() exists

[dim tusk]

bedrock dedicated server

[valid ice]

Bedrock
Dedicated
Server

A server software for bedrock developed by mojang

[fast lark]

Oh yeah i need that for my bds

[valid ice]

There’s probably a way to query XUID with http requests or multiplayer Xbox stuff- I know realm bots can grab player XUID, and realms are just BDS, so

[prime zenith]

It is good practice to set forms to a variable unless its in a function for reusability i prefer function as you can run the function

[dim tusk]

I didn't get anything in what you said...

im dyslexic

[dim tusk]

Yours and mine is different... Mine work always so yeah...

I never had a problem in my script at all...

plus, it's a sample....

[prime zenith]

If you let an event set and open a form you cant reuse it to allow multiple ways to open it if you need to

If you put form in a function have event run function you can

[dim tusk]

also, if it's there why not use it 🤷

[dim tusk]

I'm not stupid and you know that...

[prime zenith]

I know im making a suggestion

[dim tusk]

I think the way you said it is not suggesting...

Anyways

[midnight ridge]

can someone help with this i want to turn the items from entities to itemStacks :

system.runInterval(() => {
  const dimensions = [
      world.getDimension("overworld"),
      world.getDimension("nether"),
      world.getDimension("the_end")
  ];
  for (const dimension of dimensions) {
      const hoppers = dimension.getEntities({
          typeId: "wr:wireless_hopper",
          excludeTypes: ["minecraft:player"]
      });
      for (const hopper of hoppers) {
          const hopperLoc = hopper.location;
          const hopperBlock = dimension.getBlock({
              x: hopperLoc.x,
              y: hopperLoc.y - 1,
              z: hopperLoc.z
          });  
          const container = hopperBlock.getComponent("inventory");
          const items = dimension.getEntities({
              typeId: "minecraft:item",
              location: hopperLoc,
              maxDistance: 1.5
          });
          for (const item of items) {
             
          }
      }
  }
}, 20);```

[prime zenith]

I saud its goid practice thats advice

[dim tusk]

so umm, you think I'm a beginner or nah?

[prime zenith]

No i didnt say that i can still give advice

[dim tusk]

yes, I know it's a good practice but SAMPLE.. sigh I never said you won't use it tho and I never disagree with your point.

[midnight ridge]

@dim tusk

[dim tusk]

Entity.getComponent('item').itemStack

[midnight ridge]

const Container = hopperBlock.getComponent("inventory");
          const items = dimension.getEntities({
              typeId: "minecraft:item",
              location: hopperLoc,
              maxDistance: 1.5
          });
          for (const item of items) {
            const RlItems = item.getComponent('item').itemStack
            const added = Container.container.addItem(RlItems);
                if (added) {
                    item.remove();
                }
          }````

[dim tusk]

That's wrong

What are you doing in the first place.

[prime zenith]

@humble lintel are you around

[humble lintel]

hello

[midnight ridge]

system.runInterval(() => {
  const dimensions = [
      world.getDimension("overworld"),
      world.getDimension("nether"),

                    item.remove();
                }
          }
      }
  }
}, 20);```
its gets the entities with typeID wr:wireless_hopper then it gets the wirlessHoppers below it then gets nearby items and i want to add them to the container

[solar dagger]

Isn't there a transfer from container to another method?

[dim tusk]

const item = Entity.getComponent('item').itemStack;

Container.addItem(new ItemStack(item.typeId, item.amount));```

[midnight ridge]

there is

[dim tusk]

both should be a container...

[midnight ridge]

i think it called

swap

swapItems

[dim tusk]

how'd you gonna swap items if the item is an entity?

[solar dagger]

Don't entities have containers?

Inventory

[midnight ridge]

ehm i thought he is talking about somthing els

[dim tusk]

Nearby entities

[solar dagger]

I meant from the hopper to the chest

[midnight ridge]

@dim tusk

   const items = dimension.getEntities({
              typeId: "minecraft:item",
              location: hopperLoc,
              maxDistance: 1.5
          });
          for (const item of items) {
            const RlItems = item.getComponent('item').itemStack
            const added = Container.container.addItem(new ItemStack(item.typeId, item.amount));
            
                if (added) {
                    item.remove();
                }
          }```

same error

[dim tusk]

Read the m message @solar dagger

[midnight ridge]

itemStack of undefined

[dim tusk]

Import ItemStack in the server.

[humble lintel]

im lowk tryna get into machiens

they kidna coo

cool*

is there a way to chec kif an entity is in a loaded chun kthrough script?

[midnight ridge]

same

[dim tusk]

There's item in the area? That shouldn't throws an error

[midnight ridge]

something wrong with this line :

  const RlItems = item.getComponent('item').itemStack```

[dim tusk]

Try .isValid

[dim tusk]

Ahh it can't detect the item entity in the area

[humble lintel]

shoudl work thankls

[midnight ridge]

kk let me do raduis 10

same error

[dim tusk]

wait lemme try make my own.

[midnight ridge]

waiit

i found it

const items = dimension.getEntities({
              typeId: "minecraft:item",
              location: hopperLoc.location,
              maxDistance: 10
          });```

i forget to add .location

[dim tusk]

Ahh. Lmfao

[midnight ridge]

[dim tusk]

I didn't notice that lmfao

me blind now ..

[midnight ridge]

buuuuuut

it doesnt work

error is gone but the colector not working

[humble lintel]

coddy I stil get the unloaded chunk error

[midnight ridge]

check if the area loaded or not

[humble lintel]

i used the isvalid check

[dim tusk]

This is wrong I just realized.

you have a variable with that name imyou did it with . location

and you call that with .location again.

[humble lintel]

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

const item = new ItemStack('minecraft:diamond', 1);
system.runInterval(() => {
    const entities = world.getDimension('overworld').getEntities();
    entities.forEach(entity => {
        if (entity.isValid() == true) entity.dimension.spawnItem(item, entity.location);
    })
}, 20)

wil lgive u error when i leave my pigs

[midnight ridge]

🤡

i removed it

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

[midnight ridge]

this happens

[dim tusk]

Read your code

[midnight ridge]

?

[humble lintel]

weird it says entities are still valid even though they not

[dim tusk]

const dimensions = ['overworld', 'nether', 'the_end'];

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const dimension of dimensions) {
    for (const entity of world.getDimension(dimension).getEntities()) {
      if (entity.typeId === 'minecraft:armor_stand') {
        const blockBelow = entity.dimension.getBlock(entity.location).below();
        if (!blockBelow?.getComponent('inventory')) continue;

        const inventory = blockBelow.getComponent('inventory').container;
        const nearbyItems = entity.dimension.getEntities({
          type: 'minecraft:item',
          location: entity.location,
          maxDistance: 10
        });

        for (const itemEntity of nearbyItems) {
          if (!entity.hasComponent('item')) continue;
          const itemStack = itemEntity.getComponent('item').itemStack;
          if (itemStack) {
            const added = inventory.addItem(itemStack);
            if (added) itemEntity.kill();
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
});```

[dim tusk]

Ohh yeah I forgot it returns true even tho the entity doesn't exist anymore ..

Iirc it's fixed in preview ..

[humble lintel]

ah rip lol

[midnight ridge]

not working

also no errors

[dim tusk]

The item is added?

[dim tusk]

try doing console.error(blockBelow.typeId)

[midnight ridge]

wait

[dim tusk]

To check if there's block under there in the first place.

[midnight ridge]

nothing

no warns

[dim tusk]

God damnit I'm stupid wait.

[midnight ridge]

okeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey

[turbid delta]

The code looks fine to me

The code is kind of inefficient though

Loops through all entities unnecessarily

[dim tusk]

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const dimension of ['overworld', 'nether', 'the_end']) {
    for (const entity of world.getDimension(dimension).getEntities({ type: 'minecraft:armor_stand' })) {
      const block = entity.dimension.getBlock(entity.location);
      if (!block?.below()?.getComponent('inventory')) continue;

      const inventory = block?.below()?.getComponent('inventory').container;

      for (const itemEntity of entity.dimension.getEntities({ type: 'minecraft:item', location: entity.location, maxDistance: 10 })) {
        const itemStack = itemEntity.getComponent('item').itemStack;
        let remainingCount = itemStack.amount;
        
        for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
          const slotItem = inventory.getItem(i);
          if (!slotItem || slotItem.typeId !== itemStack.typeId) continue;

          const spaceLeft = slotItem.maxAmount - slotItem.amount;
          
          if (spaceLeft > 0) {
            const toAdd = Math.min(spaceLeft, remainingCount);
            slotItem.amount += toAdd;
            inventory.setItem(i, slotItem);
            remainingCount -= toAdd;
            if (remainingCount === 0) break;
          }
        }

        if (remainingCount > 0) for (let i = 0; i < inventory.size; i++) {
          if (!inventory.getItem(i)) {
            const newStack = itemStack.clone();
            newStack.amount = remainingCount;
            inventory.setItem(i, newStack);
            remainingCount = 0;
            break;
          }
        }

        if (remainingCount === 0) itemEntity.remove();
        else itemStack.amount = remainingCount;
      }
    }
  }
});```

[fallen hearth]

I'm using this but my life doesn't change?

player.getComponent("health").setCurrentValue(10000)

[dim tusk]

the heart icons doesn't increase?

yeah it doesn't change it but the health is there.

try damaging yourself with /damage @s 20 you don't die...

[fallen hearth]

@dim tusk Does this also serve to increase the player's health above the maximum health value?

[dim tusk]

I guess so...

Tho you can't track it visually...

[prime zenith]

@humble lintel are you available

[humble lintel]

hello im at my girl's house but i can help for a bit rn

boutta watch a movie tho

[prime zenith]

I dont want to bother you if your busy

[humble lintel]

no i can proll help for a bit

im just chilling rn

[prime zenith]

Ok can we vc add me

[humble lintel]

shoot I dont think i can vc but wanna just dm me

[prime zenith]

Ill try sure

But i was hoping to screen share

Add ne first

[humble lintel]

i just cant talk and i might not be able to hear u

or wait can u send vid?

[prime zenith]

I made a cool reusable funt that gets all items there anount equip slots facing direction x y and z coords

Can we try if we cant hear eachother we can text while screensharing

[prime zenith]

im sharing this for ppl who want it as it gets all they stuffand is reusable just put it in a file export where you want it and save it as a variable where your getting players and need it then you do variableYouSetItAs.anythingItReturns it gets all slots and amount all equipment your x y z facing cardinal yaw and pitchslots are obtained by invSlots.slotNumber its useful i think not the cleanest but it works

[warm drum]

Not like that

[dim tusk]

I don't think you should've returned unknown there.

[warm drum]

like if a zombie kill u, it will spawn another zombie entity but it has ur skin

by ur skin i mean any players

sound impossible...

[distant tulip]

Not possible

[warm drum]

yeah

kinda guess it

[dim tusk]

-# warning: not BEGINNER friendly...

[prime zenith]

It was throwing errors if it couldnt find an item so i created a safety net

What event is for when a player eats a food item

[prisma shard]

do i do
```js
const pitch = player.getRotation().x;

if (pitch > 85 && (pitch >= -90 && pitch <= -75)) return 'Looking down (Towards negative Y)'
if (pitch < -85 && (pitch <= 90 && pitch >= 75)) return 'Looking up (Towards positive Y)'```

Or is that right

const pitch = player.getRotation().x;

    if (pitch > 85 || (pitch >= -90 && pitch <= -75)) return 'Looking down (Towards negative Y)'
    if (pitch < -85 || (pitch <= 90 && pitch >= 75)) return 'Looking up (Towards positive Y)'```

[prisma shard]

can i get a answer at this

[dim tusk]

?

[dim tusk]

calm down...

[prime zenith]

Hey eating may be faster but given eaten is the core way to boost health in combat thats a good thing

[dim tusk]

they look exactly the same

[prisma shard]

i am trying my best not to ping. lmfao

[prisma shard]

no

[prime zenith]

You know ill never get why minecraft has steak nsmed steak in gsme but cooked beef as its call tag

[dim tusk]

I'm blind, I didn't saw the || because of the ugly format.

[prime zenith]

Coddy stop attacking ppls code like that its extremely rude

[prisma shard]

then can i get a answer now

[prisma shard]

what???????

[dim tusk]

dude.

you're OA

[dim tusk]

why not try both?

[prisma shard]

you're weird

[prisma shard]

hmm ill use ||

[dim tusk]

I just said bad format but it's not the code itself but the tabing since it's a snippet....

[prisma shard]

uh

how to get difficulty... i've searched the docs, but couldn't find getDifficulty() anywhere.... what

[dim tusk]

Minato made one in the #1067535712372654091

[prisma shard]

mojang added getDifficulty()

he said

but couldn't find getDifficulty() anywher in the docs.... weird

[distant tulip]

preview

[prisma shard]

ah i see

[dim tusk]

preview then...

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1332761908742328382

but as of now, just use this ..

[prisma shard]

btw, another question
how to get the x,y,z location of the "chunk" player is in?

i want to get x,y,z of the whole 16 x 16 chunk, the player is Standing on

[distant tulip]

divide corrds by 16 and round it

[dim tusk]

get location then divide by 16?

ohh nvm-

[prisma shard]

do i divide 16 with player location?

[distant tulip]

any location you want

[prisma shard]

what

[distant tulip]

yeah

[prisma shard]

why not floor

[distant tulip]

or that

[prisma shard]

what diff betwen round and floor

if i do it

[distant tulip]

depend on what you want
round get you the nearest corner of the chunk
floor get you the smallest (the origin)

[prisma shard]

        const playerChunk = {
            // The chunk the player is in
            x: Math.floor(player.location.x / 16),
            y: Math.floor(player.location.y / 16),
            z: Math.floor(player.location.z / 16)
        }
        const playerChunkString = `${playerChunk.x}, ${playerChunk.y}, ${playerChunk.z}`

its okay?

[dim tusk]

round - 4.7 = 4
floor - 4.7 = 5

[dim tusk]

I don't think you need the Y there

[distant tulip]

y is not needed

[prisma shard]

what

[distant tulip]

huh, that is wrong

[warm mason]

round 4.7 = 5
round 4.3 = 4
ceil 4.3 = 5
floor 4.7 = 4

[prisma shard]

why?

[dim tusk]

mb

I get confused lmfao

-# why bully me?

[prisma shard]

i want x,y,z of the chunk
then why Y is not needed

[distant tulip]

bro stop deleting messages

[dim tusk]

That doesn't make sense...

[prisma shard]

.. huh

[distant tulip]

chunks are defined by x and z

[prisma shard]

ur getDifficulty() summons spider and it does spider sound

it does instantly remove the entity

but the spider does a sssss sound

[distant tulip]

make a custom mob

[prisma shard]

then why didnt you in your snippet

[distant tulip]

because it is a snippet?
it is just and idea, you do with it what you need to

[prisma shard]

so do i copy vanilla spider mob code

will that work

[distant tulip]

yes, remove unnecessary components

[prisma shard]

cave spider is only able to detect difficulty?

not possible with normal spider?

[distant tulip]

i used these component groups

[prisma shard]

can u come in #1067869022273667152 general i need some help

[prisma shard]

        const playerChunk = {
            // The chunk the player is in
            x: Math.floor(player.location.x % 16),
            y: Math.floor(player.location.y % 16),
            z: Math.floor(player.location.z % 16)
        }
        const playerChunkString = `${playerChunk.x}, ${playerChunk.y}, ${playerChunk.z}`

what would return if i would do this

instead of divide i do modulus %

[dim tusk]

remainder...

you just get the reminder of them, for example 30 divide 16 is 1 with a remainder of 14

[prisma shard]

actually it gets the relative position within that chunk

[prime zenith]

I cant get my partical function to work

Could I use transitions state using query health?

[cold grove]

Huh?

[warped kelp]

That came with no context, apologies. Like,

If I place two events with normal and activated in custom mob json, would this work?

"states": {
        "default": {
          "transitions": [
            {
              "ego_manifest": "query.health < 330 && query.is_alive"
            },

Using things like calling an event upon reaching the custom entity's health value?

[unique acorn]

that question is for #1067869022273667152

Not scripting related. #1067869590400544869 #1067869022273667152

How do i change item name of a vanilla item

[hybrid island]

if you want to not edit the item json you can just do this as the start of the itemname in itemstack "§r§fNot wooden shovel" it wont be italic

[untold magnet]

via texts/en_US.lang

[prime zenith]

How is it formatted i tried that

[untold magnet]

item.diamond.name=Diamond

[prime zenith]

I tried item.iron_ingot.name=Iron Bar failed

Nvm

I had a space in it

[untold magnet]

item.iron_ingot.name=Iron Bar
probably its bec of an issue with the lang path idk

[prime zenith]

No it was a space issue

[chilly moth]

    const { target,player,ItemStack } = ev;
    if (player.hasTag('gr_interact'))
system.run(() => CustomUi(player))
      player.removeTag("gr_interact")

can anyone fix this

I want it to open when I sneak interact and

remove tag bcz if dont it open ui on every mob

[sharp elbow]

You are attempting to extract "ItemStack" from the parameter given in this callback. This is case-sensitive

Should the system.run and player.removeTag both only happen if the player has that tag? You may want to make a scope for that condition.

if (player.hasTag('gr_interact')){
    system.run(() => CustomUi(player))
    player.removeTag("gr_interact")
}

[chilly moth]

wdym? by scope

[prime zenith]

Put in if(player.isSneaking)

[chilly moth]

like &&

[prime zenith]

You can but player.isSneaking returns true if player is sneaking and false if not

[chilly moth]

ok let me try

I was using is_Sneaking

let me try

[sharp elbow]

Block scope; surround your statements in curly brackets to group them together. If put after a control flow statement like if, then the entire scope's contents will execute

[chilly moth]

the player tag works but on every entity for reason

I am trying to open the gui from serverform on my entity

[sharp elbow]

I don't see any condition for the type of entity. The API will not implicitly assume what you need

You might add an extra condition like target.typeId == "my:entity" to that if statement, joined by &&

[chilly moth]

👍🏽

[frozen vine]

onScreenDisplay.setActionBar() Does it support texts from the lang file? Like the titleraw command?

player.removeTag gives error

And this isn't really a ScriptAPI question.

[fallow rivet]

How many times per second does the system runinterval run?

[prime zenith]

20 ticks per second

[wary edge]

By default, it runs every 1 tick. You can change this.

[fallow rivet]

Can I make this faster?

[prime zenith]

But you can set it how many ticks it takes to run

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible to run it 100 times in 1 second?

[prime zenith]

Not faster then 20 tomes per second but you could run it multiple times if yoou put logic into a function run the function a few times

[wary edge]

No. What are you trying to acheive?

[fallow rivet]

Making players immortal

[prime zenith]

Technicually if they got the logic to run 5 times per tick they might

Therw are msny ways to make a player immortsl

[wheat condor]

do you guys know why vscode doesnt recognize prototype functions?

[prime zenith]

You dont need to run anything 100 times per second to achieve that

Okay

@dim tusk

[dim tusk]

wrap that part with system.run

[marsh pebble]

?

[dim tusk]

system.run(() => Player.runCommand() );

[marsh pebble]

this?
system.run(() => Player.runCommand(scoreboard players set @s rng ${randomValue}) );

or am i trippin

[dim tusk]

yeah, but obviously change Player to the right target.

[marsh pebble]

um

[marsh pebble]

system.run(() => player.runCommand(scoreboard players set @s rng ${randomValue}) );

@dim tusk Im a bit confused

[dim tusk]

that's correct...

[marsh pebble]

great

bc

im still learing js

slowly

bc im slow

[marsh pebble]

wait

[dim tusk]

do what you did previously...

[marsh pebble]

wym

player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(Next Roll In ${timeLeft} seconds);

system.run(() => player.runCommand(Next Roll In ${timeLeft} seconds) );

[dim tusk]

so yeah lemme explain it to you, since you're dealing beforeEvents means before it happens, you can't modify the world, so the purpose of system.run is to run the thing in the next tick, to escape the read-only mode, tho it's not just system.run only you can use anything as long as it happens next tick not the same tick...

[marsh pebble]

ah okay

im learning beforeEvents and after events today

yes

depends on the distance

nuke

[cinder shadow]

It does 85 damage at a radius of just 6

[covert goblet]

Just wanting to detect if you look at a specific mob for a quest in my pack

[humble lintel]

that's possible

use the entitfromray thing

[covert goblet]

I will take a look (lol) and see (lol) what works!! 😅

[humble lintel]

here i can write a small snippet of it

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

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({itemStack, source}) => {
    system.run(() => {
        if (itemStack.typeId != 'minecraft:stick') return;
        //Cast ray and get all the entities from ray
        const start = source.getHeadLocation();
        const direction = source.getViewDirection()
        const raycast = source.dimension.getEntitiesFromRay(start, direction, {
            //Max distance of the raycast
            maxDistance: 10
        })

        //For every entity hit by the raycast run a function
        raycast.forEach(hit => {
            //Cancel if it hits you
            if (hit.entity == source) return;
            //Do whatever to the entity or run a function
        })
    }); 
});

[acoustic basin]

hey guys! is there a way i could get an output of a command? e. g. i want to do /locate biome "biome" and get the output that the command will give, and take out the coords of the output

[wary edge]

No.

[acoustic basin]

https://tenor.com/view/chao-sonic-crying-sad-baby-sonic-adventure-gif-25729149

[acoustic basin]

okie, thank you

[round bone]

the only output you can get from a command is a success count

which will not give you enough information

to get a certain biome

[acoustic basin]

it's not really a biome that i need but the coordinates

but it isn't possible, so it doesn't matter anyway

[round bone]

yeah, not possible

[acoustic basin]

is there a way to execute a locate biome command in scripts so the output was shown in the chat? maybe somehow execute it as a player

basically, what i'm trying to achieve, is so that when i feed by dino some seeds, it will give coordinates to a biome, and the command output should be written in the chat

hello bros

I have a question

is there a way to store data for a item

I know dynamic property's do that

but those only work in no-stackable items

the only solution I have found is storing it in the item lore

[prime zenith]

If i ran a before eve t for entity removed if its an armor stand cancel or will that just leave a dead armorstand on world

[unique acorn]

you can't cancel it

EntityRemove before event isnt cancelable

[prime zenith]

Whats the most effective way to make an armorstand unmovable and unkillable

[unique acorn]

damage sensors

[prime zenith]

Like cause i gutted vanilla hp system

[unique acorn]

well damage sensors are the most effective way

[prime zenith]

Idk what you mean by damahe sensers

[unique acorn]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/invulnerable-entities#using-damage-sensor

[prime zenith]

So thats an armorstand component

To add

[unique acorn]

entity component, yes, you can use that on any entity

[prime zenith]

Ok well should be easier then zombies i tried changing zombies instead broke there ai

[unique acorn]

if you wanna use damage sensors you would need to copy the armor stand's code from the game files then add the component to it

[prime zenith]

I know that

[unique acorn]

okay

[prime zenith]

Tho zombies is outdated

Is that even resistent from kill command

[unique acorn]

maybe?

[chilly moth]

.show gives error

replaceitem entity @s slot.weapon.mainhand 0 ${blockItem.typeId} 1

how can i convert the command to scripts?

[humble lintel]

world.getDimension('overworld').runCommandAsync(`replaceitem entity @s slot.weapon.mainhand 0 ${blockItem.typeId} 1\`);

maybe this?

or uh

[shut citrus]

oh

I mean using js method

[humble lintel]

player.getCompinent('inventory').container.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, new ItemStack())

somethign like that let me check

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

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(e => {
    const plr = e.sender;
    const msg = e.message;

    if (!msg.startsWith('!')) return;
    plr.getComponent('inventory')?.container?.setItem(plr.selectedSlotIndex, new ItemStack('minecraft:stick', 1))
})

something like this

u can ignore chatsend

thats juist what i used to get the player

[unique acorn]

player.getComponent("equippable").setEquipment("Mainhand" ,new ItemStack(`${blockItem.typeId}`))

[unique acorn]

this only works on players, for entities use the code baRD gave you

[shut citrus]

it doesn't work on armor stand

Other than being able to cancel an action, is there any reason why to go with beforeEvent instead of afterEven? I'm looking at the documentation for [email protected] and there are barely any properties for beforeEvent - and also it seems to be readonly so an extra system.run is needed

Entirely depends on use case.

PlayerInteract for example, before event can detect an empty hand wherras after does not.

                entity.remove();
            } else {
                const difference = similarItem.maxAmount - similarItem.amount;
                const newItem = similarItem;
                newItem.amount += difference;
                container.setItem(similarSlots[0], newItem);

                const newDropItem = item;
                if (difference < 1) {
                    entity.remove();
                } else {
                    newDropItem.amount -= difference;
                    block.dimension.spawnItem(newDropItem, entity.location);
                    entity.remove();
                }
            }
        } else {
            const emptySlots = findEmptySlots(container);
            if (emptySlots.length < 1) continue;
            container.setItem(emptySlots[0], item);
            entity.remove();
        }
    }
}

[unique acorn]

container.addItem() already exists? why find similar slots, unless there is something I'm missing on

[humble lintel]

find similar slots for items that are already in the inventory

[unique acorn]

explain more?

[humble lintel]

So then if there's an item thjat's already there

we can just incrememnt value

[unique acorn]

container.addItem() already does that

[humble lintel]

if the amount is less than its max amount that means there's space

oh? really

[unique acorn]

yeah

[humble lintel]

didnt know that lol

well i coded the whole thing with setitem

lmaoooo

[unique acorn]

crazy

[humble lintel]

yeah i mean it works jsut nto when there's multiple items

pronbably bc the count goes over 256

[unique acorn]

its cool tho

[humble lintel]

damn i wrote all of that

just for nothijng lmao

yeah it gives the same error

weird

same thing with the item amount

[untold magnet]

entity?.setDynamicProperty('test', +1) could work?

[humble lintel]

1

[untold magnet]

( will it expand it with 1 or only set the DP with 1 ? )

const DP = dynamic property

[unique acorn]

+1 is like saying 1, if you want to add 1 to it then just do entity?.setDynamicProperty('test', 1 + 1)

[humble lintel]

set dp to 1

[untold magnet]

const iTest = entity?. getDynamicProperty('iTest');
entity?.setDynamicProperty('iTest', iTest + 1);
will work but slow asf

[humble lintel]

what cennac said

[unique acorn]

that works, you can do this aswell

let iTest = entity?.getDynamicProperty('iTest');
entity?.setDynamicProperty('iTest', iTest++);

[untold magnet]

the problem is i have tried something similar to that before, and it was extremely slow im not kidding

[untold magnet]

( i tried this method )

[unique acorn]

optimize your code then ig

[unique acorn]

I tried it, doesn't give me an error

[untold magnet]

its not an optimizing thing, it was just very slow bec the script needs to get the dynamic property each time i want to adjust it

just to make sure, I'll do some work testing out multiple different ways to see which one is the best,

[humble lintel]

wait really? that's weird

did u create an explosion

of itmes

[unique acorn]

yeah, I can send a video if you want

[unique acorn]

yep

[humble lintel]

hm interesting

[unique acorn]

i used a chest instead of a custom block tho

didn't feel like coding a custom block

[humble lintel]

oh im using entity containers

[unique acorn]

oh, huh

[humble lintel]

yeah i dont think we're able to make custom container blocks

so i jsut use entities

with custom components

[unique acorn]

how do you open the container tho

[humble lintel]

entity interaction

with a very small size / collision box

[unique acorn]

makes sense, I'll try with an entity

[humble lintel]

maybe minecart chest

[humble lintel]

Uh yeah I just realized I closed my terminal for regolith

my bad...

so my edits were not applied

lmaooo

[unique acorn]

oh lol

[pseudo timber]

const container = overworld.getBlock(location).getComponent("inventory").container;
const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory").container;

whats wrong?

[humble lintel]

@unique acorn add item doesn;t automatically remove item entities right

[unique acorn]

make sure the block is in a loaded chunk

[unique acorn]

yes

[humble lintel]

yeah so if my container is full but one slot has 63 dirt and I drop 64 I won't be abe to remove only 63 from the item entity

[unique acorn]

addItem() returns the rest of the items when slot is full, so you can use dimension.spawnItem()

[pseudo timber]

it is

[humble lintel]

i keep getting undefined

hm okay

[pseudo timber]

block/ender chest goes here

[unique acorn]

i dont think ender chest has inventory component

so maybe try a chest or barrel or another block

[pseudo timber]

[untold magnet]

show me all possible ways to increases the dynamic property value
bec these:
setDynamicProperty('smth', 1+1)
or
let i = getDynamicProperty('smth')
setDynamicProperty('smth', i++ / i + 1)
doesn't work properly

[dim tusk]

Funny I somewhat made the same thing to the other guy before

[dim tusk]

this one...

[untold magnet]

i mean it is either slow or bugged or just doesn't work,

[dim tusk]

check the original property value first then do +1

simple as that...

const val = world.getDynamicProperty('coddy:val') ?? 0;

world.setDynamicProperty('coddy:val', val + 1);```

[untold magnet]

let i = player?.getDynamicProperty('iO') ?? 0;
player?.setDynamicProperty('iO', i+1);?

[dim tusk]

unless I misunderstood something omfao

[dim tusk]

yes, idk why complicate your life

[untold magnet]

i have tried it before, for my hardcoded forge, it was extremely slow

[dim tusk]

since setting dynamic property overwrites the old one, you need to get the original val then add...

[untold magnet]

( i was running alot of dynamic properties at once )

[dim tusk]

it would never be slow at all

you're doing a lot of things probably

[untold magnet]

then why the hell was it very slow for me back then?

[dim tusk]

to make it act like scoreboard...

[dim tusk]

idk 😐

how a val + 1 would be slow?

[untold magnet]

no freaking idea

[dim tusk]

it's not even complicated math... Like what? It just adds 😭

[untold magnet]

thats my life with my addon bugs

[humble lintel]

lmaoo

[untold magnet]

anyways what im trying to do here is making a fully functional energy generator system, generating energy / saving energy / converting energy

[untold magnet]

and spending energy

[dim tusk]

Did you saw it?

My goofy really set an ItemStack with another ItemStack

[dim tusk]

that's kinda easy, tho what type of energy...

how you'll transfer the energy and how to generate the energy

[humble lintel]

no unfortunately not

is there a better way to stop the item from respawing when I use addItem

[prime zenith]

Sorty wrong room

[dim tusk]

This one my mann @humble lintel

[humble lintel]

function* pickupItems(storage: Entity, block: Block) {
    const nearbyItems = block.dimension.getEntities({
        location: block.location,
        maxDistance: 10,
        type: 'minecraft:item',
        excludeTags: ['test:item_ignore']
    })

    const container = storage.getComponent('inventory')?.container;
    if (!container) return;
    for (let entity of nearbyItems) {
        const item = entity.getComponent('item')?.itemStack;
        if (!item) continue;
        const addItem = container.addItem(item);
        const location = entity.location;

        entity.remove();
        if (addItem) block.dimension.spawnItem(addItem, location).addTag('test:item_ignore');
        
        yield;
    }
}

Maybe im just dumb but i cant figure it out

og bruh lmaoo

[dim tusk]

the one I gave is perfect already...
-# for me lmfao

[untold magnet]

as for the basic tier, u have only a hand crank block that will generate tiny amount of energy every 2 clicks,
but for the enhanced tier, which u can generate energy via burning coal and u can save the energy inside of a battery blocks, and to transfer the energy u need some wires for the connection.

[dim tusk]

You can refer to how I did it.

[humble lintel]

i have the same one nbtu does urs give any errors when u launch a bunch of items at once

like break a chest full of items type of stuffg

[dim tusk]

no, I tried with everything with lores, names, durability etc.

it works fine... YET

[dim tusk]

seems easy enough tbh

[humble lintel]

I get an error with the amount being over 256

but it works perfectly fine

[untold magnet]

it is easy, but fixing the upcoming bugs is hard lol

[dim tusk]

ahh, it's normal

[humble lintel]

yeah lmao

[dim tusk]

Since the script only accepts items from 0 - 255

The best thing you can do is split them off unfortunately

[untold magnet]

i cant left a single bug in things like energy generators

[dim tusk]

I'm bored, I'm making an rc car.

[untold magnet]

especially with the forge or things that u need to make important stuff, u dont need to put the ingredients and get a log instead of the needed output

it uses 6 slots
one for the fuel
4 for the input
one for the output
and 2 extra ones for the flame and the arrow icons, and i have to work for each one of these all at the same time.

[untold magnet]

hmm, should i have all of my systems inside of one runInterval or having each one has its own runInterval?
( like which one is more efficient? )

[dim tusk]

use only one interval pls

don't have an interval for each one

That ain't a good idea

Especially if it's a lot, tho if you're just doing it in a short time that's okay.

but for a long time... NO just no.

[untold magnet]

they're both massive, and requires a short interval tick thing, so having both of them inside of one interval is a good thing,

[sleek gorge]

Hi!

I have a question

Is there a way to make a block remember which players interact with it?

[cold grove]

Save the coordinate in dynamic properties

[sleek gorge]

Ok, thank you!

[tight plume]

Does anyone have hasItem helper function?

[dim tusk]

like checking the item entity is holding or checking if he's holding a specific id only?

[tight plume]

hasItemInInventory

[sharp elbow]

So redundant, lol

[dim tusk]

here we go again...

[sharp elbow]

Well first, the description given (or lack thereof) is probably not even to spec

[sharp elbow]

Can you be more specific please

"I need to test if the player has a given <item> in their inventory" is not what Coddy's function does

[dim tusk]

This is more for entities not for players tho .

Ohh,

mb then...

[sharp elbow]

It's not, they were vague

[dim tusk]

yeah deleted it lmfao

[sharp elbow]

What you sent would certainly work for testing any item in that container, just ... I cannot imagine that ever being useful

There's simpler ways to do even that

Could you iterate over all slots and determine if each one is empty?

[dim tusk]

I defined one only but you can certainly do it.

And I forgot you can check inventory, my mind stuck in equippable component not available in entieis

And since yorue already here, you can just give it to him... Because you said it's bad 🤷

[sharp elbow]

Nah

[dim tusk]

nice response...

[viral mirage]

Does anyone know if its possible to grab a players coordinate and saving it on a scoreboard? Like, save their X coordinate to a scoreboard every 10 seconds or so?

[dim tusk]

Yes

[viral mirage]

Thank you!

Can you link the documentation for this? I'm a bit lost

[somber fiber]

Are you confused on how to put this in a pack, or how it works?

[viral mirage]

My main issue is that I'm not sure what the scoreboard's name has to be.

also is that using a beta/experimental API? (it's my first time using scripts)

[somber fiber]

Well, looking at the code they sent, can you clarify one thing for me?

[dim tusk]

the scoreboard name is literally just x y and z

[somber fiber]

It looks like that snippet grabs all of the player's coordinates, but if I'm understanding correctly, you only want to grab one coordinate every 10 seconds or so (x, y, or z). Is that correct?

[viral mirage]

I just want it to save coordinates so that I can print them using tellraw. The time isn't important that was just an example.

[dim tusk]

^^

[somber fiber]

system.runInterval(() => { // Every 10 seconds, run this code.
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) { // Check each player in the world.
    for (const key in player.location) { // Repeat the following code for the X, Y, and Z coordinates.
      let obj = world.scoreboard.getObjective(key) ?? world.scoreboard.addObjective(key, key); // Get the scoreboard objective associated with the coordinate.
      obj.setScore(player, Math.floor(player.location[key])); // Set the value.
    }
  }
}, 200); // 20 ticks equals 1 second, so 200 ticks is 10 seconds.

[viral mirage]

I tried those but it's still not working (I'm like 99.9% sure I'm doing something wrong tho)

[dim tusk]

const scoreboards = {
  x: world.scoreboard.getObjective('playerX') ?? world.scoreboard.addObjective('playerX'),
  y: world.scoreboard.getObjective('playerY') ?? world.scoreboard.addObjective('playerY'),
  z: world.scoreboard.getObjective('playerZ') ?? world.scoreboard.addObjective('playerZ'),
};

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    for (const key of ['x', 'y', 'z']) scoreboards[key].setScore(player, Math.floor(player.location[key]));
  }
}, 10 * 20);

This is customizable, for example here it's playerX, playerY and playerZ

[dim tusk]

if works fine to me... Means you did something wrong..

[somber fiber]

Do the scoreboard objectives x, y, and z exist?

Have you created them?

[dim tusk]

he doesn't need to, it's in the scripts already

[somber fiber]

Oh I see, I missed that part

[somber fiber]

This does not use any beta script API capabilities, but there could be something wrong with your pack.

[dim tusk]

@viral mirage

Try pls.

[viral mirage]

Alr, one sec

Is there something I have to do to make a script run every tick? Similar to tick.json for functions?

[sharp elbow]

Have you imported both world and system from "@minecraft/server"?

Otherwise no; assuming that snippet is in the entry of a pack with scripting enabled, it sets itself up. system.runInterval will invoke the callback function after so many ticks, on repeat

[viral mirage]

no... I was just copy pasting what Coddy wrote 😭

It's my first time lol

mb guys

Imma try that

[sharp elbow]

That's often neglected in most snippets haha, no worries

[dim tusk]

plus, did you turn in your log gui?

Looks like I'll put those imports in snippets from now on...

[viral mirage]

I don't even know what that means bro 😭

I also have no clue how to do the imports, imma look at the docs rq

[dim tusk]

settings -> creator -> content log gui

just scroll down.

[dim tusk]

What version are you? I might just give you a pack already.

[viral mirage]

1.21.62, I think I got it now tho, imma try it with the imports

[dim tusk]

Ohh. Okk

[viral mirage]

Yeah it still aint working... 💀

[dim tusk]

I already gave you the template...

[viral mirage]

I was taking the script imports from the template, but not the manifest 😑

I give up

[dim tusk]

Ohh

That's an easy fix

Change the version 1.18.0-beta in manifest into 1.17.0 and for 1.4.0-beta change to 1.3.0

[shut citrus]

how to remove air block when using structureManager.createFromWorld()?

[viral mirage]

It's working now, thank you so much

[trail marten]

i feel smart after seeing this

the version in the manifest can keep it that way (1.18.0-beta & 1.4.0-beta), you just NEED to enable Beta APIs in the Eperimental section ON THE WORLD

[dim tusk]

The problem is beta changes thru version so you can't just leave it as 1.18.0 beta in the next update that's why people use stable always

[chilly moth]

how do I give a entity a item to hold like allay and then take it back or replace it with item in hand through scripts

[wheat condor]

If i run a runJob that doesn’t do anything just yields will it create more lag than a runJob that yields after running a great task?
