Script API General

[cyan basin]

I think for the function you had mentioned you might want to try the worldLoad first.

[heavy cairn]

This is also not working
const overworld = world.getDimension("minecraft:overworld");

[warped blaze]

i think it has to be inside a worldLoadAfterEvent

[cyan basin]

it's all a weird thing that I'm still getting used to tbh

[devout dune]

Hey I am trying to run some logic on a delay, after world initialization. But ive had instances of players loading at different times, so the logic isnt always triggering.

just using this 120 tick condition. I know i could also use system.runTimeout?

I was hoping for something like onPlayerFullyLoaded

[wary edge]

PlayerSpawn.

[woven loom]

👍❤️

[untold magnet]

damn

( my marketplace heads addon )

[devout dune]

No luck with this. OnPlayerSpawn works. but it seems to be working differently for particles

Any ideas?

[untold magnet]

uhh, how am i going to use scoreboards to make my 2 separate addons work together?
my main thirst addon should detect the player scoreboard, that scoreboard will not be available until u activate both addons.

like the second addon will add the scoreboards,

hmm, lemme think about it a little bit

[untold magnet]

meh doesn't worth it.

[round bone]

if (!event.initialSpawn) return

[unique acorn]

oof

[onyx lantern]

how does it work that the parameter for the shoot() method decides both speed and direction of the projectile?

I'm trying to make an entity shoot a projectile towards it's target using scripts

and using their view direction doesn't work very nice, it just never hits the player

anyone has any clues on how to make this work?

[oak lynx]

a velocity vector is basically just how much speed in each direction

try multiplying the view direction by the power you want to shoot with

[drowsy scaffold]

anyone know if there's a way to delay the time before an itemStack can be picked up? if you summon an itemStack currently you can just instantly pick it up

[leaden elbow]

how can i get the name of the entity with provided typeId? and also can it be used in custom mobs?

[warped blaze]

you mean it's translation key?

[leaden elbow]

yeah i guess

like for example

minecraft:cow returns Cow, while custom:mob returns Mob Name

just did split string but i dont think its an accurate mobname when it goes with custom mobs

[warped blaze]

yes it is possible

on preview

last preview added .localizationKey property

[leaden elbow]

so that return its name?

[warped blaze]

i don't think so, ig it it has the localization key, you have to use rawtext translate to get the name

[onyx lantern]

smart, cool! thanks!

[warped blaze]

like

cow = ...
world.sendMessage({ rawtext: [ { translate: `cow.localizationKey` } ] });

supposing cow is not undefined and is a valid entity

[distant tulip]

Is that a thing

[frozen vine]

Is it possible for me to use an item on a cake with a candle and instead of him eating the cake he lights the candle?

[warped blaze]

yep, latest preview

[distant tulip]

I guess

[frozen vine]

yes, it is possible to change this, the problem is that the action of eating happens, so I wanted to know if it is possible to kind of cancel it

[distant tulip]

Just cancel the block interaction

[north rapids]

is there any way to get the weather?

[frozen vine]

With playerinteractwithblock?

[frozen vine]

Yea

[frozen vine]

I think so, because an example of a trident here on the server uses this for one of the enchantments

[distant tulip]

There is an event for it i believe
You need to store it somewhere

[north rapids]

ok

[unique acorn]

dimension.getWeather()

it's in beta btw

[north rapids]

i guess i'll use the event

ty

I'm making a temperature system 💀

[unique acorn]

very cool

[north rapids]

when I finish I'll show ya

[frozen vine]

Enchantments have a component, is it possible to add them to items without adding the enchantment directly?

[unique acorn]

no

unless if you re-code the behavior they do

[frozen vine]

actually I was wrong, I meant component not behavior

[unique acorn]

same thing, u need the component to add enchantmets to an item

unless if you

1. re-code the enchantment
2. use an nbt editor

[frozen vine]

oh yes, it's because looking at the files, the cart with tnt collects the fire aspect component, if it were possible to add this it would help me with my item

But, thanks

[north rapids]

try to use the entityHurt event to get the item and the cart. Then fire the event that make the cart ignite

[granite cape]

how to contribute scriptapi devepment?

[sharp elbow]

It's closed source. But if you want to see it improve:

• Engage with the community, and encourage good coding practice and good behavior. Be humble, ethical, and educated, and always be ready to learn and teach.
• Make and discuss suggestions. The API devs are in various communities, and on occasion they might poke their heads in and take inspiration from the userbase.
• Fill out surveys. These go out every so often, and they are a great way to give feedback directly to Mojang.

[viscid horizon]

properties in an entity’s behavior file are connected to a dynamic property in a script correct?

[wary edge]

No.

[viscid horizon]

damn

is there a way to?

[wary edge]

Wdym?

Just use the normal property method.

[viscid horizon]

i have a fake health system in a script that uses dynamic properties and i want to reassign the value of that property with the bp property in events

@wary edge ?

[valid ice]

You can use the Entity methods of setProperty & getProperty for the BP defined ones, and the Entity methods of setDynamicProperty & getDynamicProperty for the script defined ones

[granite cape]

okok

all need handle priviallage now😑

[viscid horizon]

may i have visual aid

[valid ice]

I don’t really know how to visually show that

Dynamic properties are exclusive to scripts
Entity properties can be accessed in behaviours, scripts and resources

[viscid horizon]

i know this i just wanna know if they’re connected. im guessing not

[valid ice]

They are 100% not connected to each other

[slow walrus]

you wouldn't even need the dynamic properties, custom properties are persistent

[valid ice]

Was persistence ever a problem?

[modest oasis]

hello Im new to scripting, does world.beforeEvents.entityHurt.subscribe exist? if not, what are alternatives

I want to cancel player attack on certain condition

[distant tulip]

no. and there in none

in script api at least

[shy leaf]

can JavaScript Map store Entity?

or should i just use Set

[distant tulip]

they can store entities, yes

[shy leaf]

nice

what about WeakMap though? i forgot what it does

[distant tulip]

same, it is just like Map but with garbage collection

[shy leaf]

aye ty for the answer

[distant tulip]

np

actually, some function in Map don't exist in WeakMap

keep that in mind

[shy leaf]

eh im using it for tracking entities only so

[distant tulip]

alr

[shy leaf]

fuck

WELP

...should i just use entity's id instead?

actually, let me use Set for this...

[distant tulip]

try
for (const [key, data] of weakMap)

[valid ice]

Goaded

[shy leaf]

yeah thats what i did

[distant tulip]

i guess that because weak map don't have these functions
.size, .keys(), .values(), .entries()

[shy leaf]

well damn

time to use ID then'

[distant tulip]

just remember to clean up the set

[shy leaf]

aaargh

ill just use Map then

.delete() should be enough for cleanup, right?

[distant tulip]

yep

[shy leaf]

alright

[viscid horizon]

wait a minute

i can just ditch dynamic properties and use regular old properties instead because they exist in script AND bp

[boreal siren]

How can you prevent a player from breaking a block on the territory, but the block that he himself placed could be broken?

[patent bane]

I'm trying to make an addon which makes items which have "reinforced" in their lore have a 10% to not lose durability when used to attack or mine. Is this possible in ScriptAPI? How can I do it?

[fallen cape]

Try storing all positions of placed blocks in dynamic properties, then check if the block is there

Not the best solution, but ehh we have no other way to check which player placed the block

[hybrid island]

what happend to applyknockback

[dim tusk]

Player.applyKnockback({ x: 0, z: 0 }, vertical)

[hybrid island]

where the force thing?

[dim tusk]

Multiply that to the x and z direction

[hybrid island]

strength*

ok

ima try

[dim tusk]

Fromjs Player.applyKnockback(x, z, horizontalStrength, verticalStrength)intojs Player.applyKnockback({ x: x * horizontalStrength, z: z * horizontalStrength }, verticalStrength)

[hybrid island]

ok wait

[prisma shard]

let overworld;
world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
  overworld = world.getDimension("minecraft:overworld");
})

[warped kelp]

Can Player.applyKnockback work on entities?

[hybrid island]

i cant seem to make it work

[hybrid island]

i tried a lot can u fix it i 'll give the code

[sterile epoch]

im not good at regex, how would I go about only getting text between double quotes

[hybrid island]

if its always in qoutes then i can do

maybe this will work

YOURVARIABLE.match(/["'](.*?)["']/g).map(m => m.slice(1, -1));

[dim tusk]

Okays

[hybrid island]

i sloved it

[glacial widget]

how would i cancel blocks dropping after block is broken?

[unique acorn]

listen for block break event then kill the item that's been dropped

[distant tulip]

cancel the block drop and remove the block using setType

[woven canopy]

try applyImpulse if that doesnt work

[glacial widget]

I tried that but block still drops

[glacial widget]

That's what I was actually thinking of doing next

Like a entity.kill()

[warped kelp]

Thanks. I'm trying to give mobs the ability to dash when using a specific weapon, I'll try that too
-# other than tp, which does not seem to work half of the time

[distant tulip]

huh

[unique acorn]

that will remove the particles and sound of the block tho

[distant tulip]

yeah

[oak lynx]

preview today right?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[shy leaf]

i hope theres some good stuffs

[oak lynx]

getBlocks()

please please please

[shy leaf]

also just a question, does instanceof Player not count for SimulatedPlayer if theres no gametest module?

[oak lynx]

never used gametest

[shy leaf]

rip

[cold grove]

Yes!!!@shy leaf

[cold grove]

Yes,nSimulatedPlayer extends Player

[shy leaf]

was that an answer to the

[cold grove]

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

[shy leaf]

oh yeah

thanks

i thought you were cheering out of nowhere

[cold grove]

Missclicked and mentioned you instead of replying

[onyx lantern]

anyone know when custom components v2 are going to be released for stable?

[wary edge]

It's not even released in preview yet.

[onyx lantern]

I know

but like

is it going to be this year?

[glacial widget]

Alright I'll try

[glacial widget]

Yeah

I mine coal are and coal still drops

[wary edge]

We don't know. All we know is soon™️

[prisma shard]

entity.remove()

[shy leaf]

that sounds like a #1067869374410657962 question

though yeah, i do know how to

but its json ui so its also painful to do one

yeah give me a second

i made a resource pack that changes tooltip anims a few months ago

https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture-pack/bedrock-remove-held-item-tooltips/
use this as a base

let me get the vanilla ui first, i forgot the default values

@last herald
https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/8cb28e3b1e7972ac8126cee3f19201109faecf50/resource_pack/ui/hud_screen.json#L1638

this should be better for knowing the anims

nice

[boreal siren]

I figured out how to make a similar effect using the testforblocks functionality, but I don't know how to get the result of its execution in a script or how to reproduce its system, and also I realized that there are some limitations, so I'll think about how to implement it

[prisma shard]

• runInterval expects a callback
• world.getPlayers(), you don't need dimension there
• you call a function like this ammoUpdate(), you didn't put the brackets

system.runInterval(() => {
  ammoUpdate()
}, 2);

function ammoUpdate() {
    const players = world.getPlayers();
    players.forEach(player => {
        let ammo = primaryammo.getScore(player);
        let maxammo = primarymaxammo.getScore(player);
        let helditem = player.getComponent('equippable').getEquipmentSlot('Mainhand').getItem();
        if (helditem) {
            let itemName = helditem.nameTag;
            system.run(() => {
                helditem.nameTag = `§r${itemName} §7(${ammo}/${maxammo})`;
            });
        }
    });
}

try this

does it show any error in game console

[distant tulip]

helditem is a copy of the item and not the actual item in your inventory

setItem

[shy leaf]

you already do get the actual item

[shy leaf]

you just gotta do that

since youre getting a new copy of the ItemStack from getItem()

[distant tulip]

setEquipment*

[shy leaf]

oh wait

yeah youre using equipment comp nvm

[distant tulip]

yeah, same thing but he is using the equipment component

[broken dagger]

player.runCommandAsync("execute as @s[tag=slot2] run scoreboard players set @s slot2 1");

[unique acorn]

runCommandAsync got removed

[broken dagger]

what's the other one?

[unique acorn]

runCommand()

[broken dagger]

Thanks

[glacial widget]

that doesnt work with beforeEvent playerBreakBlock

[prisma shard]

ofc it does??!

[glacial widget]

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe(({player, block, itemStack,  cancel}) => {
   const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory").container
    
    if(block.typeId === "minecraft:coal_ore"){
        cancel = true

        system.run(() =>{
            block.setType("minecraft:air");
            const coal = new ItemStack("minecraft:coal_ore", 1)
            const coalPrice = items.get("minecraft:coal_ore")
            coal.nameTag = `§a$${coalPrice}`
            inventory.addItem(coal)
        })
    }
})

i cant define entity in this event

[prisma shard]

getEntities() then get "minecrafft:item"

[granite badger]

hello to my script api docs users, do y'all want this search layout or prefer the current one?

[glacial widget]

like this?

world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities("minecraft:item")

[distant tulip]

looks good

[distant tulip]

world.getDimension("overworld").getEntities({types: ["minecraft:item"]})

[unique acorn]

that one looks better, maybe change up the icons to the old ones tho

[granite badger]

oh those icons are for documents (yes you can add markdown articles in typedoc), icons stay the same

[glacial widget]

maybe type: [] is not the right syntax

[distant tulip]

remove []

[glacial widget]

idk why it doesnt get killed

[midnight ridge]

current one is better

[unique acorn]

send code

just the part where you kill it

[midnight ridge]

how can i make the user cant throw an item?

[glacial widget]

nbt itemlock

/give @p iron_axe 1 100 {"minecraft:item_lock":{ "mode": "lock_in_inventory" }}

[timid zenith]

I'm getting error in this

}).catch()

[valid ice]

Without any further context, one can only assume you are missing opening brackets

[dim tusk]

ItemStack.lockMode = 'inventory';

[timid zenith]

How

[valid ice]

You have an open } brace and an open ) brace

More context of your code would be nice

Showing ten characters and saying there's an error is extremely unhelpful

[cinder shadow]

are we able to get anything about what smithing templates were used on equipment via itemStacks? I'm not seeing anything

[wary edge]

No.

[cinder shadow]

🗿

well that's a problem

[viscid horizon]

hey so uh it keeps saying that the player doesn’t have properties even though it does

in my content logs

are there any requirements i need to meet or something

[dim tusk]

Give the exact code and error.

[viscid horizon]

do you want me to dm you or spill the beans here

[dim tusk]

Just send it here.

[viscid horizon]

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

const player = world.getPlayers()[0]; // player
const players = world.getAllPlayers()
const entity = world.getDimension('overworld').getEntities()

const scoreboard = world.scoreboard; // scoreboard

world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.subscribe((e) => {
const projectile = e.projectile;
const target = e.getEntityHit()?.entity;
const instigator = e.source;
const entity = world.getDimension('overworld').getEntities()

let targetHp = target.getProperty('fakehp');
if (targetHp === undefined) {
    world.getDimension('overworld').getEntities().forEach((entity) => {
        entity.setProperty("fakehp", 100);
    });
}

const playerScore = score.getScore(instigator);


let damage = 0;
if (projectile?.typeId === 'ata:buckshot') {
    damage = 100;
} else if (projectile?.typeId === 'minecraft:snowball') {
    damage = 20;
} else if (projectile?.typeId === 'ata:pissbullet') {
    damage = 25
}


if (team !== 2) {
    world.sendMessage("Friendly fire detected!");
    return; 
}


if (targetHp <= 0) {
    world.sendMessage("No health detected for the target.");
    return;
}


if (targetHp > damage) {
    target.setProperty('fakehp', targetHp - damage); // Apply damage to target
    instigator.onScreenDisplay.setTitle("§r+", {
        stayDuration: 3,
        fadeInDuration: 0.1,
        fadeOutDuration: 0.5
    });
} else if (targetHp <= damage) {
    target.setProperty('fakehp', 0); // Set target health to 0 (dead)
  
    instigator.onScreenDisplay.setTitle("§c-X-§r", {
        stayDuration: 3,
        fadeInDuration: 0.1,
        fadeOutDuration: 0.5,
        subtitle: "+1"
    });
    world.sendMessage(`${instigator.name} killed ${target.name}.`);
}

});

Also I ran testfor @e[has_property={ata:fakehp=true}] into a repeating command block and it didn’t return anything so that might be something too

[dim tusk]

Means your entity is the problem

Not your script.

[viscid horizon]

i mean yeah cuz the player.json has properties but the game says otherwise

it says it doesn’t have any properties

[dim tusk]

Are you sure that the player.json is a valid json?

if the commands doesn't work, it's a sign that there's a problem in entity itself.

[viscid horizon]

there shouldn’t be

you can take a look if you wanna

[dim tusk]

Neither of them is the problem.

You are the problem lol, it should include the namespace.

[viscid horizon]

am i the problem

[dim tusk]

ata:fakehp

not fakehp alone.

[viscid horizon]

coulda sworn i accounted for the namespace tho

where is the error anyway

[dim tusk]

where?

you used fakehp without namespace

[viscid horizon]

damn

let me see if what i do will fix it

maybe i am stupid

@dim tusk even with that fixed i don’t think the properties in the json wants to cooperate

[humble lintel]

Doesn anyone know how to visualize profilerfiles in realtime when testing code?

[dim tusk]

what if you do it in scripts?

[viscid horizon]

tried doing that and it returned undefined

im starting to think the player.JSON just doesn’t support actor properties or something

i’ve tried initializing ata:fakehp with setProperty and using behavior events

[dim tusk]

They do...

[viscid horizon]

i’ve tried doing scoreboards for fake health in the scripts but sometimes they don’t sync up in the actual game and q.scoreboard can’t be used for rp so if this doesn’t work im just gonna use regular vanilla hp

[dim tusk]

I tried mine and it works fine.

[viscid horizon]

scoreboards or actor properties?

[dim tusk]

properties.

ok, when you do the command in chat not command block does it show the properties or nah

[viscid horizon]

it says no targets matches selector

guessing it’s because it thinks the player doesn’t have those properties

[dim tusk]

noo, that's not what I meant, if you the command in chat it shows the available properties

/testfor @a[has_property={

If you do this it shows them.

[viscid horizon]

of course, why else would it say there weren’t any targets matching it

the properties exist in the game but not for the plauer for some reason

[final ocean]

How to fix ???

[ivory bough]

How to get the render distance of the player(not max render distance)?

[shy leaf]

pretty sure you cant

[past coyote]

lockCamera() {
    const cameraLocation = {
        x: this.player.location.x,
        y: this.player.location.y + 1.6,
        z: this.player.location.z
    };

    console.log("Setting camera at: x=" + cameraLocation.x + ", y=" + cameraLocation.y + ", z=" + cameraLocation.z);
    console.log("Facing NPC ID:", this.npc.id);

    try {
        this.player.camera.setCamera("minecraft:free", {
            facingEntity: this.npc,
            location: cameraLocation,
            easeOptions: {
                easeTime: 0.5,
                easeType: "linear"
            }
        });
        console.log("Camera set successfully (no fov)");
    } catch (error) {
        console.error("Camera set failed:", error);
    }
}```

So I dont really understand, im trying to make the camera pan over and lock on to the NPC

but for some reason it just goes to 0 0 0 (or somewhere far under the map)

The correct coordinates are being passed, but the camera never actually goes to the camera location

[timid zenith]

So the errors I have are the keys {}

[distant gulch]

i'm trying to make the damage reduction for my custom armor horse using script but the damage not get reduce. Can someone help pls

[unique acorn]

sadly you can't cancel damage taken using scripts

[lilac glacier]

can anyone help me with this

since the new update has dropped

they changed the parameters for applyKnockback

and now idk how to apply verticalStrength.

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


system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(({ sourceEntity, id }) => {
  const view = sourceEntity.getViewDirection();
  const target = sourceEntity?.target;
  console.error(id);

  switch (id) {
    case 'cod:event_knockback':
      if (target) sourceEntity.applyKnockback({ x: view.x * 8.5, z: view.z * 8.5 }, 0.1);
      break;

    case 'cod:event_charge':
      if (target) sourceEntity.applyKnockback({ x: view.x * 10.5, z: view.z * 10.5 }, 0.1);
      break;

    default: break;
  }
});```

the mob that uses it jumps like this atm

[unique acorn]

ur already applying vertical strength

the 0.1 is the vertical strength

[lilac glacier]

ah alr

[distant gulch]

is there any way to do that

[prisma shard]

There's no way to do it in scripts , you can cancel damage in the entity JSON , there is a damage_sensor component

but don't worry, me and @unique acorn are make a entity hurt before event 😎 so you can cancel damage

[shut citrus]

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

any example using this module?

idk how to use it

[prisma shard]

YO WTF

the knockback is real weird after update

[thorn ocean]

Is that actually possible? Cuz if it is, that would be amazing!

[wise raft]

How can I ensure that my block ticks randomly more often?

[buoyant canopy]

this is a general JavaScript question, i want to use an expression as a condition for an if statement, similar to this: ```js
if ({
const n = true
return n
}) {
...
}

This syntax is obviously wrong, how can i make it work?

[wary edge]

if(const n = true) should work.

[buoyant canopy]

my actual expression is kinda more complex than that, i want to check if a container exists in a location and if it does check if it has items

[distant tulip]

no

use a callback
() => {
const n = true;
return n;
})()

[buoyant canopy]

i have the expression but I can't be brothered to copy it all to my mobile

[distant tulip]

if((() => {
const n = true;
return n;
})())

[buoyant canopy]

i tried that it returns a function

[distant tulip]

wdym

[open urchin]

i feel like doing this would be easier

const n = true;

if (n) {
}

[buoyant canopy]

oh, wait i had to move the () outside the other ()
i had it like this
(()=>{}())
it needed to be like this
(()=>{})()

[wary edge]

Yeah it is.

let n = 2;
if(n=1) console.log(10);

Works as well.

[distant tulip]

why do you need it that way btw

[wary edge]

Or ideally a function if it's complicated.

[open urchin]

function containerExists(location) {
  // ...
}

if (containerExists(location)) {
  // ...
}

[buoyant canopy]

i have an achievement system and i am adding completion queries to it in the form of an object {id: 'comdition'}
the condition is a string that gets eval() into true or false

[distant tulip]

sound like you are complicating it a bit, also eval() can and should be avoided

[buoyant canopy]

const queries= {
  cobblestone: `player.runCommand(testfor @s[hasitem = {item:cobblestone}]).successCount`
}

for (let query of Object.keys(queries)) {
  if eval(queries[query]) complete(query)
}```

[buoyant canopy]

i can't think of a better way to store a lot of conditions

[open urchin]

const queries= {
  cobblestone: () => player.runCommand("testfor @s[hasitem = {item:cobblestone}]").successCount
}

[woven loom]

just make a parser

[buoyant canopy]

not sure how well this will go, the expression and the functions they use are in separate files

[open urchin]

you could give the functions any context they need using arguments

const queries= {
  cobblestone: ({ player }) => player.runCommand("testfor @s[hasitem = {item:cobblestone}]").successCount
}

[buoyant canopy]

i will try that

i think i am too deep to change everything now...

i got over 60 achievements written

[buoyant canopy]

it works, i guess i have replace them all now

[cold grove]

use native functions instead of commands!

[distant tulip]

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const entity of overworld.getEntities({ type: 'minecraft:zombie' })) {
    const velocity = entity.getVelocity();
    if (velocity.x === 0 && velocity.y === 0 && velocity.z === 0) continue;

    const loc = entity.location;
    const min = { x: Math.floor(loc.x) - 2, y: Math.floor(loc.y) - 2, z: Math.floor(loc.z) - 2 };
    const max = { x: Math.floor(loc.x) + 2, y: Math.floor(loc.y) + 2, z: Math.floor(loc.z) + 2 };

    const blocks = Array.from(overworld.getBlocks(new BlockVolume(min, max), {}).getBlockLocationIterator());
    for (let i = 0, limit = Math.min(4, blocks.length); i < limit; i++) {
      overworld.setBlockType(blocks.splice(Math.floor(Math.random() * blocks.length), 1)[0], 'minecraft:oak_log');
    }
  }
}, 1);

Why doesn't this work? My entity doesn't stop replacing blocks after it has already replaced 4 blocks

[shy leaf]

post content logs

[ivory bough]

Nothing

Also,

console.error(JSON.stringify(blocks.splice(Math.floor(Math.random() * blocks.length), 1)[0]));

this returns xyz coordinates for some odd reason

[shy leaf]

what about running it for only once instead of using interval?

you could check which part went wrong that way

[ivory bough]

K

[ivory bough]

Wait, if I call it once, it actually places 4 blocks only

[shy leaf]

try running it another after one and see if it replaces or not

[ivory bough]

But I removed the velocity detection to test cause I am not gonna get the perfect timing on when a zombie moves

Ok, I set the interval to 50 instead of like 1 and it works now. I think I should make the interval the amount of time he takes to move 1 block

[round bone]

interval is still working, so in the next tick blocks will be placed as well

loop is stopping, but it's mounted in the next tick

[prisma shard]

hmm

can someone help

with some complex

So

i want to place 1 each block inside of each chunks

suppose i set A BlockVolume

from a location and to another locaitons

It will calculate the whole chunks between those two locations

And then place 1 block in those each chunks

@distant tulip

[distant tulip]

nothing complex about that

floor(coordination/16)*16 and here is your chunk origin

[prisma shard]

UH

hmm

I want to get the middle of the chunk

[distant tulip]

add 8 to that

[prisma shard]

it would get whole chunk of two locations first (also those chunks between the location), then get the middle of each

[prisma shard]

^

[prisma shard]

i need to put towo locations there

2 coords

so it get "each " chunks

between them

[prisma shard]

there is to put 1 coords, it just get the whole chunk,
what about the all chunks in middle between two coord

[distant tulip]

You need to loop through the coords by iteration of 16

From one end to the other

[prisma shard]

hmm lemme use my brain 1 sec

[prisma shard]

async function getBlockAtChunkCenters(volume) {
    const { from, to } = volume;
    const xMin = Math.min(from.x, to.x);
    const xMax = Math.max(from.x, to.x);
    const yMin = Math.min(from.y, to.y);
    const yMax = Math.max(from.y, to.y);
    const zMin = Math.min(from.z, to.z);
    const zMax = Math.max(from.z, to.z);


    for (let x = xMin; x <= xMax; x += 16) {
        for (let y = yMin; y <= yMax; y += 16) {
            for (let z = zMin; z <= zMax; z += 16) {

                const centerX = Math.floor(x / 16) * 16 + 8;
                const centerY = Math.floor(y / 16) * 16 + 8;
                const centerZ = Math.floor(z / 16) * 16 + 8;


                const blockLocation = { x: centerX, y: centerY, z: centerZ };
                // get block at middle of each chunk
                await getBlock(blockLocation)  
            }
        }
    }
}

@distant tulip

[distant tulip]

seem so

[prisma shard]

it crashes my world

i tested

nah dont work

It still returns the "Unloaded chunk " error

you see that

await getBlock(blockLocation)

In the getBlock function

I am adding a tickarea

So the chunk loads

export async function getBlock(location, dim = world.getDimension("overworld")) {
    let block, { x, y, z } = location;
    const getBlock = dim.getBlock.bind(dim, location);
    try { if (!(block = getBlock())) throw null; else return block }
    catch {
        system.run(() => {
            dim.runCommand(`tickingarea add circle ${~~x} ${~~y} ${~~z} 0 "${x},${y},${z}"`);
            let remove = () => dim.runCommand(`tickingarea remove "${x},${y},${z}"`);
                return new Promise(async resolve => {
                    system.runJob(function* () {

                        let trials = 1e3;
                            do {
                                block = getBlock();
                                if (!--trials) yield void remove();
                            } while (!block);
                        remove();
                    return resolve(block);
                }())
            })
        })
    }
};

but still not work

unloaded chunk

idk why

minato pls help

[granite badger]

tickingarea only loads upon player goes there once

[prisma shard]

oh

hmm

thats unfortunate

[distant tulip]

there is a preload parameter

[prisma shard]

huh

confused what u mean

[distant tulip]

type the command in game and see

[prisma shard]

idk what is a preload param

and i did type happen nothgn

dude i am an idiot

[distant tulip]

just add true to the end of the command

[distant tulip]

what is VanillaEntityIdentifier

[oak lynx]

wow someone is using getBlock

[prisma shard]

njmjhiojh

@distant tulip dude i'm tired, im trying to make a worldEdit
my game just keeps crashing the scripts hangs, when i try to fill alot of blocks 😭
can you please just take the whole script
i saw did some one fill large areas, he was doing it each chunk after a delay, so it wouldn't crash the gamegame

[distant tulip]

what function is causing it

[prisma shard]

Don't know

[distant tulip]

what are you doing to cause it

[warped kelp]

Is there a way to detect if an entity is riding something, and if they're not riding something, they'll get removed?

[prisma shard]

select large area and do command !set stone

first break block then go far away and right click to select another position

then to fillBlocks do !set {blockId}

[glacial widget]

How would I cancel players from taking items out of a item frame?

i tried beforeEvents playerBreakBlock, doesnt work well. Asking to see if there is any other ways

[stuck ibex]

Is there a way to get the translated name of the item? ItemStack.nameTag just returns undefined when it haven't been edited yet

[open urchin]

there's ItemStack.localizationKey in beta

you could then use something like this to display the name

player.sendMessage({ translate: itemStack.localizationKey })

[stuck ibex]

ah but i need the result as itself

[open urchin]

why

[stuck ibex]

So i can mess around with the names

and set it with .nameTag

[open urchin]

I don't think that's possible

without manually including the name of every item in your scripts

[stuck ibex]

Even so i don't think its worth it since it can be changed

that sucks

Do you know what argument the eventData.sender was changed to?

it's still the same as far as i know

[shut vessel]

ok but the thing is that my commands don't want to activate

I find it weird

[prisma shard]

any errors? show code

[wary edge]

You need to wrap it with system.run.

[warped blaze]

why don't you use sendMessage?

[shut vessel]

the eventData.sender? I remove the runCommand?

[warped blaze]

you have to wrap the runCommand

[thorn flicker]

wrap the runCommand method

[shut vessel]

I think it works well, so I don't know what difference it makes. Does it change anything?

[thorn flicker]

well its not going to work at all if you dont this

oh

im dumb

[thorn flicker]

native methods perform better than commands.

[shut vessel]

understandable

like that ?

[thorn flicker]

system.run(() => { code...  })

also you are using system.run like its supposed be for sending messages

i think you are confused

Smokeystack was telling you to wrap the method in system.run and titi was suggesting to use the sendMessage method instead of the command method.

[snow jungle]

.

[sharp elbow]

To explain what's happening: The event you have subscribed to (in order to send this rawtext to a player) is executing in a read-only context. This applies to any before-event. In it, you cannot change the state of the Minecraft world, as whatever the event is listening to has not happened yet.

People suggest "wrapping" the runCommand method in a system.run call to defer its execution until later in the tick, to where the world state can be modified.

It's like invoking any other function:

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

function sayHiToEveryone() {
  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    player.isValid && player.sendMessage("Hi!");
  }
}

// System.run call, given the sayHiToEveryone function as a callback
system.run(sayHiToEveryone);

Although the pattern suggested was system.run(() => { code ...});, since folks here like unnamed arrow functions.

[lyric kestrel]

I am starting to hate making my Frame Blocks

[warped blaze]

what's the player.isValid && player.sendMessage("Hi!"); part? ik what they're for but isn't the && supposed to be inside an if statement?

[warped blaze]

we believe in arrow functions supremacy 🙏

[sharp elbow]

These two are mechanically similar. Just comes down to coding style.

if (condition) action;

condition && action;

In JavaScript, the && operator will only evaluate the second half of the expression if the first half is truthy

[warped blaze]

tysm i just learned something new

i didn't even know that was possible xd

[sharp elbow]

You've likely already used a similar form of that with the || operator, where the second half is evaluated only if the first half is falsy (as in foo = bar || {};)

[warped blaze]

didn't remember seeing that on the js course but looks familiar

[sharp elbow]

But of course, I would recommend the if statements for more complex control flow or for readability. Like if you need a block to execute code in, or to use else (ternaries technically work but IMO it is poor form)

[leaden elbow]

how to check for dropped item from broken block? getItemStack sometimes returns undefined when block is not the same as dropped item (like diamond ore drops diamond). so how can i check for dropped item in that location where block is broken?

[drowsy scaffold]

how do I make a small particle with MolangVariableMap?

[drowsy scaffold]

you could use the beforeEvent and create an object, where the key is the block typeId and the value is the expected itemStack to drop from breaking it

I don't think there is a native method to get an instance of what the block would drop if broke currentlyh

[leaden elbow]

quite good idea. thanks

[glacial widget]

How would I cancel players from taking items out of a item frame?
i tried beforeEvents playerBreakBlock, doesnt work well. Asking to see if there is any other ways

[drowsy scaffold]

make sure to take silk touch into account if that's something accessible in the environment you're making this for

[sharp elbow]

The particle you are summoning would need its size to be defined by a variable. Then you could set the size with a Molang map

[drowsy scaffold]

[stuck ibex]

I just know that must be laggy

[rapid nimbus]

Title, run with Script API

[rapid nimbus]

My Traveler's Titles Bedrock addon doesn't cause any lag on your phone, tablet or PC

[warped blaze]

how did you get the specific biome? I'm curious abt it

[stuck ibex]

You use findClosestBiome right? If so it must be laggy because you're checking 87 biomes altogether

[rapid nimbus]

Yes I did use findClosedBiome and classes BiomeTypes to check 87 biomes and there are also titles for dimensions like Overworld, Nether and The End but my phone didn't lag

[shut citrus]

@rapid nimbus

[rapid nimbus]

When passing through a dimensional portal, the dimension title along with the subtitle of the biome in that dimension will be displayed.

[warped blaze]

is findClosestBiome already in 1.21.70?

[rapid nimbus]

I added color to the two dimensions Nether (dark red (code: §4)) and The End (blue (code: §9))

[rapid nimbus]

Yes, findClosedBiome supports Dimension classes in the @minecraft/server v2.0.0-beta module in the Script API so I used it to create my Traveler's Titles Bedrock Addon

[spring dove]

im trynna develop an addon for couple months now, and i was wondering if it was better staying on 1.18.0 or dealing with breakable stuff from 2.0.0 beta

[wary edge]

I recommend always using stable.

[spring dove]

Yeah, but i left scripting in 1.14.0-beta and now that i came back i dont know why my addon's scripts don't work anymore

i changed the manifest to 1.18.0

[wary edge]

If you need beta features then use 2.0.0

[spring dove]

Aight, but there's an error when im trying to use beta too, idk why

`[Scripting][error]-Plugin [Starlight UHC [BP] - 1.0.0] - failed to create context.

If you're using 2.0.0, both server and server ui need to use it.

Thats right. Though youre in the wrong directory...probably.

[dim tusk]

Is the entity in the world in the first place?

[ivory bough]

Yes

[dim tusk]

Is that a global variable or in a runInterval? Since it doesn't make sense why would it return undefined of locations if the entity in the first place exists

[wise raft]

How can I spawn a particle that moves upwards?

[distant tulip]

you can either

• make the particle move upwards from the particle file itself
• increase the y axes and spawn another one
• use molangVariableMap to pass the direction to a variable in the particle file

[wise raft]

How can I do that with the Molang Variable Map?

[distant tulip]

use
v.name.x v.name.y v.name.z in the particle direction
and use
MVM.setVector3({x,y,z})

[honest spear]

thats the most complex tasks in whole Script API bc its not related to Script API

haha

you need to know more about particles than script api

[distant tulip]

snowstorm simplify it by a lot

[honest spear]

here is steps i recommend for you

• Learn How to create custom particles
• Learn how to use variables in custom particles

• Use MlangVariableMap in Script API (optional)

[honest spear]

i think its important to know the particles concepts in JSON first, but it helps for visualization

[wise raft]

I want to use vanilla Particles

[honest spear]

you can't do that

[wise raft]

why? :c

[honest spear]

bc vanila particles doesn't have variable like speed and direction

particle system in Bedrock is completely different from Java

[warped blaze]

how do you apply the variable to a specific field of the particle file?

[distant tulip]

some do iirc

[honest spear]

In general No, but there might be some exceptions

i think some have a variables for colors

[honest spear]

define them in JSON thats all the client has to know, on server just use the variable name in MolangVariableMap

but like i said you have to know the JSON Molang particle system

its not about Script API at that point, thats my opinion

[distant tulip]

these can't be used?
https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMojang%2Fbedrock-samples+path%3A%2F^resource_pack\%2Fparticles\%2F%2F+variable.direction&type=code

[wise raft]

but how do candles work?

[honest spear]

they don't have direction or speed, its just position

afaik

but like @distant tulip said there are few that has direction variable

[distant tulip]

it is really not recommended to use scripting for such a task

[wise raft]

alright

[honest spear]

well you can use custom particle with vanilla texture

its not a big deal, but it requires reasource pack thats only downside i see

[round bone]

you're probably calling a method before the world has loaded or in the beforeEvent, which is read-only right now

in this case: world is not initialized yet, that's why it's throwing up an error

[sharp elbow]

You have to execute your Database construction inside world.afterEvents.worldLoad

import { Database } from "./database";

var database;

function loadEntry() {
  database = new Database("hi");
}

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe();

[deep quiver]

    if (player.hasTag("uchiha")) {
        data.cancel = true;
        world.say(`<${player.name} §cUchiha§f> ${message}`);
    }
});

use beta api script version, in your manifest

[round bone]

isn't World::sendMessage throwing up an error in beforeEvents after 2.0.0-beta?

[random flint]

Nah, Player.sendMessage() and World.sendMessage() can be used in beforeEvents

[distant tulip]

With system.run

[round bone]

I know

but doesn't they throw up an error?

[round bone]

that's what I am talking about

[distant tulip]

It always was the case

[round bone]

not for 1.x.x versions

[distant tulip]

It is

[round bone]

calling World::sendMessage or Player.sendMessage does not throw error without any privileges in beforeEvents

for 1.x.x versions

[distant tulip]

weird

[dense sun]

can we multithread some loops in script api?

Even without system.run, you can run it. Similiar to dynamicProperty. try it yourself

some functions can be called even in read-only mode

[vast rune]

Is there any way to detect what block is under the entity?

[prisma shard]

Yes.

/**
 * Gets the block just below the entity.
 * @param {Entity} entity - The entity.
 * @return {Block | null} The block below the entity or null if unavailable.
 */
function getBlockBelow(entity) {
  const loc = entity.location;
  loc.y -= 1;
  return entity.dimension.getBlock(loc);
}```

or if using custom compoenent, there is onStepOn

[simple zodiac]

any|null is crazy work

[vast rune]

Thanks!

is this ts or js?

[prisma shard]

js

[prisma shard]

lol

[vast rune]

k

[umbral dune]

it is worth assuming that ts and js have the same syntax,
if there is no type definition then it is javascript. (most cases)

[vast rune]

yeah, im new to this( i only know c++ mainly)

[round bone]

more like Block | null

[prisma shard]

yes lol

uh fine i change it

[tidal wasp]

Block suddenly not working

Here the code in question

[prisma shard]

in your main.js file do this:

import { world } from "@minecraft/server"

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
  import("./block_trigger")
})```

that file is block_trigger.js where appears to be the error right?

Or, in the function there is a lot of playSound, you can put await null; just inside the function, on top of those playSounds

function blockPlaceNoise() {
  await null;
  if () {
    dimension.playSound
  }
  else if () {
    dimension.playSound
  }
  else if () {
    dimension.playSound
  }  
}```

i dont want to extact texts from your immage, so here is just example

[prisma shard]

that worldLoad method is better than doing await null; btw

[half drum]

you are using playDimension in a before event where you can only use read-only methods

playSound*, had a stroke

[tidal wasp]

It worked before 😭

[half drum]

they added this years ago but it did work at one point

[tidal wasp]

Not years ago

[prisma shard]

I already provided you fixes..

[tidal wasp]

Weeks ago

I know

[tidal wasp]

So this didn't work

[prisma shard]

this? @tidal wasp

[tidal wasp]

Trying it

Nope

[tidal wasp]

Not working

[prisma shard]

just send the codee

[prisma shard]

Oh rename the function to async function

async function blockPlaceNoise(){
  await null;
  if () {
    dimension.playSound
  }
  else if () {
    dimension.playSound
  }
  else if () {
    dimension.playSound
  }  
}

or just use system.run() dude

[tidal wasp]

👍

Imma have to use system.run

[prisma shard]

use system.run() at where you executed the function

because the playSound inside the function is only returning error

[tidal wasp]

Thanks

Ok so putting it around where I called the function didn't work

[prisma shard]

show code

[tidal wasp]

Neither did putting it around the playsound area either

[prisma shard]

this is not how it works.......

[tidal wasp]

Nvm

I may be a fucking idiot

Please have mercy

It is 3 am and I got a headache

[prisma shard]

@tidal wasp

[tidal wasp]

Dw i figured that out

Works now @prisma shard

[half drum]

been a while but if you're wondering why this didn't work is because, again, you're using playSound in a read-only environment (beforeOnPlayerPlace)

[boreal siren]

How to create an event for the "/scriptevent" command?

[cold grove]

?

"Create an event"

[boreal siren]

I mean, how to use it?

[acoustic basin]

how can i stop player from using an item when the use duration reaches certain point?

i set the cooldown for item, but player keeps using it, i need to stop that

[distant tulip]

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

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {
    event.id //@remarks — Identifier of this ScriptEvent command message.
    event.message //@remarks — Optional additional data passed in with the script event command.
    event.sourceEntity //@remarks — Source entity if this command was triggered by an entity (e.g., a NPC).
    event.sourceBlock //@remarks — Source block if this command was triggered via a block (e.g., a commandblock.)
    event.sourceType //@remarks — Returns the type of source that fired this command.

    //example use
    if(event.id === "admin:anounce"){
        if(!event.message) return
        world.sendMessage(`📢-Announcement: ${event.message}`)
    }
});

[distant tulip]

add a dp ("last used on") and cancel the event based on that and the current time

[cold grove]

If its an custom item use cooldown component

[acoustic basin]

as i said, i've added a cooldown, but, i keep holding the item, and the events keep happening

[distant tulip]

what event are you using

use itemStartUse

[cold grove]

It will still happen just add an if

[acoustic basin]

i have an itemStartUse after event, and a system.runInterval that increases my let ticks = 0 with ticks++ when ticks >= 20, i set the cooldown, but, i keep holding the item. events keep happening

[cold grove]

Do not run the action if your cooldown ticks remaining are not zero or whatever you set

Ahh! Use duration. Sorry

My bad...

[acoustic basin]

one second, will try

so like, useDuration = 0?

[distant tulip]

Returns the time, in ticks, for the remaining duration left before the charge completes its cycle.

[acoustic basin]

ah, so how do i stop the action from running further, even if i have a cooldown that has started, but i'm still using the item...

[distant tulip]

if useDuration == max use duration

[acoustic basin]

hold on, i'll show what i have...

world.afterEvents.itemStartUse.subscribe((event) => {
    const { source, itemStack, useDuration } = event;
    if (itemStack?.typeId !== "item") return;

    const selectedItem = source.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");

    let ticks = 0;
    const hammer = system.runInterval(() => {
        ticks++;
        const property = source.getDynamicProperty("item");

        if (ticks == 14) {
            source.dimension.spawnEntity("entity", source.location).triggerEvent("event");
        }
        if (ticks >= 20) {
            system.clearRun(property);
            source.startItemCooldown("item", 200)
            return;
        }
    }, 1);

    source.setDynamicProperty("item", hammer);
});```

so when ticks is >= 20, then i need to stop item from being used, even if i'm still holding the use action

[distant tulip]

so your problem is, when the item cooldown is done, the itemStartUse trigger again?

[acoustic basin]

no, when ticks is >= 20, the item should be stopped from being used any further, even if still holding the right-click button. i've tried setting the cooldown, but it doesn't work, like, visually, the cooldown appears on the item, in inventory, but the item is still is use, and every 14 ticks my entity get's spawned again...

[distant tulip]

what are you referring to by "the item being used"

[cold grove]

Try clearRun(hammer)

[distant tulip]

already doing that

[acoustic basin]

holding the right mouse button

item being in use

i honestly don't know how else i could explain it...

[distant tulip]

the itemStartUse triggering as i said?

also
if (itemStack?.typeId !== "item") return;
this is wrong, no?

[acoustic basin]

no, i haven't modified the code yet, this is it's current state

[acoustic basin]

no, i just can't show the item ID's

[distant tulip]

ah alr, lol

hmm

[acoustic basin]

so i've tried one thing

i've cloned the item with itemStack.clone()

and then did this

selectedItem.setEquipment("Mainhand", new ItemStack("air", 1));
            system.run(() => {
                selectedItem.setEquipment("Mainhand", item);
            })```

[distant tulip]

i am bit confused tbh

maybe try ItemUseAfterEvent

[acoustic basin]

just, the issue is, if player immediately switches to another slot when the item is getting replaced, the slot player just selected gets replaced with the cloned item

[acoustic basin]

afterEvents.itemUse?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[acoustic basin]

but how would it help

it changed nothing

[distant tulip]

a custom bow?

[acoustic basin]

no

it was a typo XD

[woven loom]

I wanted to know how to use the types installed globally

[distant tulip]

how to install them or how to use them?

[woven loom]

Use

[distant tulip]

so, from what i am understanding
itemStartUse get triggered even if you didn't release the item and start using it again?

[acoustic basin]

yes

[distant tulip]

they just work, no need to do anything

[acoustic basin]

oh, wait

i thought of something now lol

[distant tulip]

i don't remember it being that way

[acoustic basin]

yes, genius

or wait

[distant tulip]

hmm?

[acoustic basin]

nah, not genius...

[distant tulip]

this is a custom item, right?

[acoustic basin]

yes

[distant tulip]

do we need to use minecraft:chargeable?

[acoustic basin]

no

[distant tulip]

ah, that is deprecated anyway

[acoustic basin]

lol

[distant tulip]

could you log the value of useDuration and see what it is when the problem happen

[acoustic basin]

i've just found a solution

not perfect, but it'll do it

sorry for taking up your time😭

[distant tulip]

cool, and it is alright lol

[acoustic basin]

still, thank you =)

[snow knoll]

Is there a way to detect how long an entity has been alive

Like e.g.

if ( entity.age <0.07 ) {...}```

[distant tulip]

world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe((event)=>{
    event.entity.setDynamicProperty('spawnTime', Date.now())
})

[snow knoll]

Would I have to make this into a constant

So that I could then detect if it is a lower value than whatever number I need

[sharp elbow]

I would not use Date.now. This does not account for the game being paused

Use system.currentTick instead

[sharp elbow]

When you need to find the entity's age, compare the value of their 'spawnTime' dynamic property to whatever the current time/tick is

[honest spear]

you should messure all time in ticks to match the game experience

[distant tulip]

i forgot about game pause

[sharp elbow]

function getEntityAge(entity) {
  const spawnTick = entity.getDynamicProperty('spawnTime');
  return system.currentTick - spawnTick;
  // const spawnTime = entity.getDynamicProperty('spawnTime');
  // return Date.now() - spawnTick;
}

[distant tulip]

after thinking about it, Date.now() is really bad in this case
the time where the server is shutdown will count too

[sharp elbow]

Oh haha, true

[unique acorn]

doesn't system.currentTick reset to 0 once the world is started?

[distant tulip]

nope

[snow knoll]

Thank you very much, everyone

[distant tulip]

getAbsoluteTime and currentTick whats the different

[sharp elbow]

Not sure. Have you noticed any difference?

[distant tulip]

getAbsoluteTime can be changed? beside that? no just asking

[sharp elbow]

Oh fascinating

[distant tulip]

yeah, the time getAbsoluteTime get can be altered by game-play (sleeping, commands, scripts and so on)
was thinking they are the same

[sharp elbow]

Oh, is that also adjusted by /time set?

[distant tulip]

yep, that is the command equivalent to setAbsoluteTime

not a fitting description tho

Returns the absolute time since the start of the world.

[sharp elbow]

Well, it's not wrong either. Just that, that can mean several things

I think that could be improved by clarifying further:

/**
 * Returns the absolute time since the start of the world. This value can be changed through {@link World.setAbsoluteTime}.
 */

[distant tulip]

i mean, do we count sleeping as time pass or skipped

[sharp elbow]

That only differs by semantics, right? Technically it is being skipped

[distant tulip]

yeah, relative to currentTick it is skipped
i guess each one and it use case

[stark kestrel]

how would you make custom damage system?

[honest spear]

sleeping is the same as currentWorldTime = nextDayMorning

its just recalculated time

[stark kestrel]

like the best way

[honest spear]

you can simulate that with /time set

[distant tulip]

yeah

[honest spear]

Depends on whats are your goals

[stark kestrel]

i wanna just make the damage system myself, and modify damages as i need

[honest spear]

not that easy

[stark kestrel]

hmm

where should i start

[distant tulip]

can be as simple or as complex as you want

[honest spear]

you can't cancel the vanilla damage

can't with Script API

[stark kestrel]

i know

ik

[honest spear]

also you can't set the strength only with entity effects

so what is your goal?

[stark kestrel]

i can heal the dealt damage back right?

[stark kestrel]

removing every damage through player.json?

and running a entityhitentity?

for applying damage?

[honest spear]

not if the enity already dies

[stark kestrel]

hm

[honest spear]

its afterEvent so the code is too late to save it

[stark kestrel]

yeah, i wish there was a beforeEvent for it

[distant tulip]

you could try to give all entities weakness and apply your own damage

[shy leaf]

i actually made one but theres one catch

player.json

[honest spear]

real

[stark kestrel]

i dont even care about using player.jspon, i have my server made fully by myself, i dont use anything else lol

[shy leaf]

ohohoho now we are talking

[stark kestrel]

so this one

[shy leaf]

give me a second

[honest spear]

but player.json is for players only

thats the catch i see

[stark kestrel]

hm

[honest spear]

does it actually heals on hit?

[shy leaf]

no

[honest spear]

ohh

[shy leaf]

the docs said that but it was a lie

[distant tulip]

that cancel player damaging not damage, no?

[shy leaf]

the player wont be able to do damage at all

[honest spear]

yea, the hit is still visible

[shy leaf]

but entityHitEntity still fires

[honest spear]

you can cancel the damage with hit damage sensors

[distant tulip]

i thought that what he is after

[stark kestrel]

O.o

[stark kestrel]

yeah thats what i was planning on

can u send me the player.json please.

or where do i find it

[shy leaf]

you can check the vanilla player.json

https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/main/behavior_pack/entities/player.json

[stark kestrel]

thanks

alot

[shy leaf]

but

there are two unexpected things that can happen

when you do this

[stark kestrel]

👀

what are they

[shy leaf]

first is that mace damage also gets reduced

[stark kestrel]

i dont use mace anyways lol

[shy leaf]

and second is, for whatever god damn reason, using weapons with damage bonus enchantments while having weakness effect,

literally

ignores the component

[stark kestrel]

hmm

i dont use em too :D

[shy leaf]

[shut citrus]

how to fix slowdown watchdog?

[shy leaf]

optimize your code

[honest spear]

Me watching the BAO users fighting watchdog and not trying to agree with it

https://tenor.com/view/cristiano-ronaldo-drinking-meme-gif-23698215

[sharp elbow]

It's a bit unfortunate, but it is true. If watchdog is biting your ass, then either you're playing on some bad hardware (like Nintendo Switch) or you're doing something inefficiently

[honest spear]

I mean sometimes the loops they make is crazy, but yea low performance divices are also pain

[sharp elbow]

Whoever started spreading top level await to get out of early execution has spread a blight

[honest spear]

yea top level one is really fun killer

[distant tulip]

yikes

[honest spear]

Well i used to use Permutation.resolve in top level like this

const BEDROCK = BlockPermutation.resolve(...);

and i solve it with await null; and every thing was fine, but problem is that apis are changing over time and the use case the other ppls have with await null are not ideal

i use await null; alot and i didn't have any problems so far

[sharp elbow]

It's a hack. The way it works really should not work

[distant tulip]

what does it do, i seen it used way before

[honest spear]

it does works like that in all runtimes i have worked in so far, the JS is single threaded and this is how Async is done in JS

you can mock sync callbacks like this

//native code
arg.value = 4;

// simulated callback for subscribed event
yourAsyncCallback(arg);

// simulated next step //native memory freeing
delete arg.value;

){}

would this work

    system.run(() => {
        world.sendMessage({ rawtext: [{ text: `${Prefix}${useNameTag === true ? sender.nameTag : sender.name}${NameSuffix}${message}${MsgSuffix}`.trim() }] })
    })
})```

I tried destructuring already

It sends your (and friends') message twice

[ripe dune]

it works fine for me lol

[tidal wasp]

why isnt this working

Whenever i went to console log the whole expression, it gave me NaN until I put an active redstone wire next to it or powered it

then it stopped giving me anything

also doesnt stops screaming at me when i place a redstone block next to it

but doesnt turn on
