function hi() {
    console.log('Hello World!');
}
hi();

[umbral dune]

that it!
I will try to solve this

[umbral dune]

nvm, finnafinest's message is literally all the code does

[dim tusk]

Bloating at it's finest.

[rapid nimbus]

Hey @dim tusk

[dim tusk]

?

[rapid nimbus]

Want to try the Traveler's Titles Bedrock add-on pack I created?

[umbral dune]

'-'

[rapid nimbus]

If you want to try out the Traveler's Titles Bedrock add-on pack I created, I'll send you a link to the add-on in MediaFire for you to download and try out in Minecraft Bedrock.

[fathom hemlock]

why is event.cancel = true not working?

[thorn flicker]

show your code.

[fathom hemlock]

just the wiki code:

world.afterEvents.chatSend.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const player = eventData.sender;
    switch (eventData.message) {
        case "!gmc":
            eventData.cancel = true;
            player.runCommand("gamemode c");
            break;
        case "!gms":
            eventData.cancel = true;
            player.runCommand("gamemode s");
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
});```

[thorn flicker]

thats afterEvents

[fathom hemlock]

oh yea forgottt

but I can't use beforeEvents

[thorn flicker]

why

because its in beta

[fathom hemlock]

if I have beforeEvents

[thorn flicker]

wrap it in system.run

[fathom hemlock]

ok

[thorn flicker]

also there's a native method for changing gamemode

you dont need to use commands

player.setGameMode('creative')

and here's a doc for the beforeEvents priv system.
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/script-server#beforeevents-privilege-system

[fathom hemlock]

ohh thc

*thxsm

how do I make that: player target in command, ik I can do player.runCommand(`gamemode c ${target}`), the hard part is to define target

oh wait I think ik

I did

[distant tulip]

player.setGameMode("creative")

[thorn flicker]

i suggested that

[distant tulip]

didn't read above

so, he just ignored what you said

[thorn flicker]

maybe he didn't read as well

lol

[unique acorn]

he probably meant how to make another player in the world creative

[distant tulip]

possibly

[thorn flicker]

.

const target = world.getPlayers({name: targetName})[0]

[fathom hemlock]

yoo thx for helping me but I have a question how do make a wait function that works mit system.run

[fathom hemlock]

thats working too

umm I think

[thorn flicker]

whats wrong with using the native method?

[woven loom]

lol

[valid ice]

What can we do with pfid, given in the player join event?

I’ve searched a bit online and haven’t found any way to gather meaningful information from it

[distant tulip]

nothing... sense it is spoof-able
some servers do use it to identify the player but that is not a good idea

[valid ice]

:(

[snow knoll]

Could I have help with fixing this script

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


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


system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    const hand = player.getComponent("equippable")
    if (player.hasTag("electric") && player.hasTag("fly")) {
      const playerLoc = player.location
      const vel = player.getVelocity();
      if (vel.x !== 0 || vel.y !== 0 || vel.z !== 0) {
        const trail = player.dimension.spawnEntity('ltng:trail', playerLoc);
trail.setDynamicProperty("spawnTime", Date.now());
        world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe((event) => {
          if (event.entity.typeId == 'ltng:trail') {
            const age = getEntityAge(trail)
            const playerRot = player.getRotation();
            const maxAge = 0.05;
            if (age <= maxAge) {
              trail.setRotation({ x: playerRot.x, y: playerRot.y });
            }
          }
        });
      }
    }
  }
});

The problem is in the function

[distant tulip]

what need to be fixed?

[stark kestrel]

error

?

[distant tulip]

does it throw errors?

[snow knoll]

Yes

[distant tulip]

what error

[snow knoll]

I haven't set the spawn time dynamic property to a value

And don't know what value to use

[snow knoll]

Wait nevermind I mistook the error

The content log says that it was "unable to call function getDynamicProperty at line 7 and line 22"

[prisma shard]

hi

[woven loom]

1.18 is now final right?

[prisma shard]

Yes it's stable

[fathom hemlock]

so is there like a wait function for system.run

or tick thing

[prisma shard]

await system.waitTicks()

[fathom hemlock]

is this normal?7

ik i need the value

[prisma shard]

Show full code

You need to use async in your event

[fathom hemlock]

ooohhh

yea yea forgott that

[fathom hemlock]

import { openUIBuilderMenu } from "../main.js"
import { wait } from "../functions/wait.js"

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((eventData) => {
    const player = eventData.sender;
    switch (eventData.message) {
        case `!gmc ${player.nameTag}`:
            eventData.cancel = true;
            system.run(() => {

            break;
    }
});

[prisma shard]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(async (eventData) => {

[fathom hemlock]

ye

I forgott that

[prisma shard]

and then wherever you want to use waitTIcks()

[fathom hemlock]

thx

[drowsy scaffold]

Anyone know if the newest hotfix fixes the desync?

[prisma shard]

uh elaborate, didnt quite understand

[drowsy scaffold]

In 1.21.70, there was really bad desync with clients, especially with knockback

And I was wondering if it got fixed with the newest update

[prisma shard]

Okay, i see, i wonder too.
Because the issue also happens for me

lemme check the changelogs ig

Yeah i was like fixing my addon, i sprinted then hit the creeper 2 times, it flew away

totally drunk knockback

[prisma shard]

Good news!

[safe stream]

Am I doing something wrong with this?

const form = new ModalFormData()
    .title("Rotate Entity")
    .body("Select the rotation step:")
    .slider(1, 8)
    .button1("Confirm")
    .button2("Go Back")```
It's returning a content log error

[fallow minnow]

modal forms dont have buttons

[safe stream]

oh

[fallow minnow]

u can only use

slider
textfield
dropdown
toggle
or submit button

[safe stream]

Thank you!!

I thought it was like MessageFormData lol

[fathom hemlock]

hey in line 148 is smth wrong

            const updated = JSON.parse(world.getDynamicProperty('auctions') ?? '[]');
            const a = updated[index];
            if (!a) return;

            if (a.highestBidder === player.name) {
                const inv = player.getComponent("inventory")?.container;
                const playerMoneyNow = moneyObj?.getScore(player) ?? 0;

                if (playerMoneyNow >= a.highestBid) {
                    player.runCommand(`scoreboard players remove @s money ${a.highestBid}`)
                        .then(() => {
                            try {
                                inv.addItem({ typeId: a.icon, amount: a.amount });
                                player.sendMessage(`§aYou won the auction for §6${formatItemName(a.icon)} §afor §6$${a.highestBid}!`);
                            } catch (err) {
                                player.sendMessage("§cError giving item: " + err);
                            }
                            updated.splice(index, 1);
                            world.setDynamicProperty('auctions', JSON.stringify(updated));
                        });
                } else {
                    player.sendMessage("§cYou no longer have enough money to pay for your bid.");
                }
            }
        }, 100); ```

```line 147                            world.setDynamicProperty('auctions', JSON.stringify(updated));
  line 148                    });```

line 148 is wrong

cuz I changed player.runCommand(`scoreboard players remove @s money ${a.highestBid}`)

[dim tusk]

Umm, how do I get the value from the custom enums in custom commands?

[timid zenith]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((data) => {
  try {
    utilities.setTickTimeout(() => {
      const allPlayers = [...world.getPlayers()]
      for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        player.nameTag = "§7[§r" + Misterank(player) + "§7]§r " + player.name + "§r"
      }
    }, 20)
  } catch (error) {

  }
})

The mistake is in this

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((data) => {

[valid ice]

What script version are you using

[warped blaze]

I can't understand what he is even trying to do

[timid zenith]

I'm on 1.21.70 when entering a world I get the error in the world.beforeEvents.chatSend

[timid zenith]

What I do is grab the scripts in the bedrock wiki stop that it is not updated ._.

[valid ice]

What’s the error? What’s your script version?

[timid zenith]

Sorry I didn't send the error correctly

[valid ice]

Is line 11 the subscribe?

And are you using the development behaviour pack folder

[timid zenith]

Yes

[valid ice]

That error is not from that code

[timid zenith]

In manifest 2.0.0-beta

[valid ice]

It’s saying “beforeChat” of undefined

Your code has zero mention of beforeChat

[timid zenith]

I don't have another index

[valid ice]

[timid zenith]

This is all the index code

[valid ice]

That’s what the error says

[valid ice]

The game seems to think otherwise

[timid zenith]

Wait, give me a moment, send you something else

I was trying the before chat and chatSen

One I get an error and another I don't get any error but the addon doesn't work

[valid ice]

Well, the second one doesn’t exist any more

Do you have two index.js files in the same pack? Or what’s going on there

[timid zenith]

I don't have any more index

[valid ice]

Is that second one in a different pack, or…?

[timid zenith]

Give me a moment see something, I'm not sure, but let me find out, I believe that I know why

[dim tusk]

Nvm lol, I forgot the origin exists now.

I'll just spread the param values.

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ customCommandRegistry }) => {
  customCommandRegistry.registerEnum('coddy:team', ['Red', 'Blue', 'Green']);

  customCommandRegistry.registerCommand({
    name: 'coddy:multi',
    description: 'A command with enum, location, and number',
    permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.Any,
    mandatoryParameters: [
      {
        type: CustomCommandParamType.Enum,
        name: 'coddy:team'
      },
      {
        type: CustomCommandParamType.Location,
        name: 'target_pos'
      },
      {
        type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer,
        name: 'repeat_times'
      }
    ]
  }, (origin, ...params) => {
    console.error('Raw params:', JSON.stringify(params, null, 2));
  });
});```

[warped blaze]

Is it now possible to know who used the custom command?

with the latest preview

[dim tusk]

read the changelog.

[warped blaze]

oh it got added one update ago

mb, didn't see that

[dim tusk]

For quick summary in that, the origin returns the source how source returns in ScriptEvent

[warped blaze]

now we just have to wait for namespaces to be optional 😭

[snow jungle]

Unhandled promise rejection: Error: Failed to call function 'getComponent' due to the Entity being invalid (has the Entity been removed?).    at <anonymous>```

on a beforeEvent playerLeave?

Im pretty sure I still have a handle on the player before they leave?

[dim tusk]

show your code

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(({ player }) => {
  const { currentValue } = player.getComponent('health');

  console.error(currentValue);
});```

[snow jungle]

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe(async (event) => {
    const playerName = event.playerName;
    const player = event.player;

    system.run(async () => {
        await player.getComponent("inventory").container.clearAll();
    });
})

[dim tusk]

Ahh you can't do that.

[snow jungle]

?

[dim tusk]

And it's player.name

[dim tusk]

this triggers before player left right? Since system.run() runs teh next tick, so teh player already left you can't clear it anymore.

[snow jungle]

so whats the fix for this?

[shy leaf]

uh

async?

[dim tusk]

Store the ID of player in a dynamic property and use playerSpawn to clear it.

[dim tusk]

@snow jungle

[shy leaf]

why not just use playerSpawn to clear inventory?

[dim tusk]

thank you for repeating it lol

[shy leaf]

i mean

it doesnt need playerLeave

or playerJoin works too

[dim tusk]

depends, what if he wnat to control who will be cleared 🤷🤷

[shy leaf]

since the intention is to clear the players inventory when they join back

[shy leaf]

thats where you use dynamic property or tags i guess

[dim tusk]

-# that's why I said this.

[shy leaf]

oh

sorry i slept late last night

[dim tusk]

more steps tho, since there's no built-in player property

Only playerName and playerId

[shy leaf]

whar

oh right it doesnt

playerSpawn it is then

i think you could also use WeakMap for this cuz

garbage collecting

[dim tusk]

for?

[shy leaf]

_ _

just wait until i get my coffee

im a sleepyhead rn

[dim tusk]

yeah I know it's Garbage collecting, but for what?

[shy leaf]

my idea is to add a WeakMap for checking if the player has joined or respawned

if the player joined (using playerSpawn event), clear inventory and set a key

if the player respawned (check if the player has key), dont clear inventory

[dim tusk]

if (!initialSpawn) return

[shy leaf]

...does initialSpawn fire if player rejoined?

[dim tusk]

Yes if the world was closed... But in server it doesn't trigger again afaik.

Since the world wasn't closed or stopped

Unlike multiplayer, local worlds or realm(?)

[shy leaf]

yeah thats why i was suggesting that

just to make sure

[dim tusk]

tags exists tho right?

[shy leaf]

mhm, but tags dont remove by its own when player leaves

[tropic geyser]

what min engine version, script version and ui version are we on

[fathom hemlock]

                const inv = player.getComponent("inventory")?.container;
                const playerMoneyNow = moneyObj?.getScore(player) ?? 0;

                if (playerMoneyNow >= a.highestBid) {
                    player.runCommand(`scoreboard players remove @s money ${a.highestBid}`)
                        .then(() => {
                            try {
                                inv.addItem({ typeId: a.icon, amount: a.amount });
                                player.sendMessage(`§aYou won the auction for §6${formatItemName(a.icon)} §afor §6$${a.highestBid}!`);
                            } catch (err) {
                                player.sendMessage("§cError giving item: " + err);
                            }
                            updated.splice(index, 1);
                            world.setDynamicProperty('auctions', JSON.stringify(updated));
                        }); // line 140
                } else {
                    player.sendMessage("§cYou no longer have enough money to pay for your bid.");
                }
            }```

[warped kelp]

Is there a way to detect what item an entity is holding and run an event based on the item held?

By running an event, I mean a function that runs
/event to activate that event in an entity, if possible

[dim tusk]

Min engine version doesn't really matter tbh, but server and ui version's yes... So if stable rn it's 1.18.0 for server and 1.3.0 for ui, and for beta it's both 2.0.0-beta

[dim tusk]

Yes but it's laggy so it's not really reliable.

[warped kelp]

Awh, alright. I'll just rely on component switching using timers

[dim tusk]

Wait...

you can use functions files and check holding of item using hasitem={}

[dim tusk]

why use then? successCount already exists, 0 if failed and >= 1 if success.

Just do that.

[warped kelp]

I'll check the documents

One more question,

How I can reduce damage recieved by an entity without using resistance, even if it is coming from an override damage attack?

[dim tusk]

execute as @e[type=armor_stand,hasitem={item=diamond,location=slot.location.mainhand}] at @s run event entity @s .... ```

[dim tusk]

not possible with just scripts

[warped kelp]

Darn

Is there any resources you could point me to? If available

Could be using armor?

[dim tusk]

If you really want scripts only, this is not really reliable but you can try to check if entity got damage if yes chdkx the health how much health he has and dmsage he got, and do calculation and give those missing health back

get what I meant?

[warped kelp]

Sorta, but looks math heavy

[dim tusk]

hurt -> get health -> calculate damage and current health -> give back required health

[dim tusk]

You got no choice, best you could do without using .json, or effects.

[warped kelp]

I could use armor with protection 4? Would that take less dmg from override?

Ima test it out

[dim tusk]

Probably? What are you doing in the first place?

[warped kelp]

... a boss :3

[dim tusk]

Nono, I meant why you need to reduce the damage?

Is this custom entity? If yes damage sensor already exists.

[warped kelp]

Ohh, some of the custom weapons use override damage and I don't wanna turn it into a damage checker by raising base hp of the custom entity

I could explain why, but I'd be rambling-

[warped kelp]

"Triggers item type"?

[tropic geyser]

thanks

[distant tulip]

They don't stay on memory so that is fine, although, i suggest dynamic properties instead

[prisma shard]

export function getArea(player) {
    const fromArea = player.getDynamicProperty("fromArea");
    const toArea = player.getDynamicProperty("toArea");

    if (fromArea && toArea) {
        const { x: fx, y: fy, z: fz } = fromArea;
        const { x: tx, y: ty, z: tz } = toArea;
        return { fx, fy, fz, tx, ty, tz };
    } else {
        return null;
    }
}

// Cannot convert to object error
const { fx, fy, fz, tx, ty, tz } = getArea(player)```

Can someone help me

Why does it return "cannot convert to object" error

[dim tusk]

It'll happen if the object returns null

Check if it really set the values,

Or just ```js
export function getArea(player) {
const fromArea = player.getDynamicProperty("fromArea") || { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 };
const toArea = player.getDynamicProperty("toArea") || { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 };

const { x: fx, y: fy, z: fz } = fromArea;
const { x: tx, y: ty, z: tz } = toArea;
return { fx, fy, fz, tx, ty, tz };
}```

And check if the dynamic property is actually a vector3

[prisma shard]

Oh

Thanks!!!

i seee

agh

idk why now it spams unloaded chunk error

[dim tusk]

getBlocks()?

getBlocks already has built-in for that. Dimension.getBlocks(volume, {}, true)

It's Boolean, suppress the unloaded chunk error

[prisma shard]

hmmm nah bro like i cant fix it

mayb its not a area problem

i think i did smth werid somehwherer

[fathom hemlock]

how did u guys got soo good at scriptapi?

[prisma shard]

it goes like Y infinite

[prisma shard]

you know what, i also think the same, about the scripting legends

And no if your talking about me, i am not good at scripting

[dim tusk]

Read javascript.

[fathom hemlock]

did u guys read the scriptapi docs?

[dim tusk]

anyways, custom commands is fun wadahell...```js
system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ customCommandRegistry }) => {
customCommandRegistry.registerEnum('coddy:grant', ['grant', 'revoke']);
customCommandRegistry.registerEnum('coddy:scope', ['only', 'from', 'through', 'until']);

customCommandRegistry.registerCommand({
name: 'coddy:advancement',
description: 'Grants or revokes advancements',
permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.Any,
mandatoryParameters: [

]
}, ({ sourceEntity }, ...params) => {
const [action, targets, scope, advancement, criterion] = params;

sourceEntity.sendMessage(`${sourceType} ${JSON.stringify(params)}`);

});
});```

[prisma shard]

Ofcourese

[dim tusk]

yeah, why wouldn't? Minecraft bedrock Script APi is a different thing

[prisma shard]

Im not usign get blocks im using fill and setblock command

[fathom hemlock]

ohh

I just use the docs to seach events

[prisma shard]

And, its not my script, i am updating a very old script to 2.0.0-beta (having pain)

And so he uses commands instead of blockVolume or fillBlocks

[dim tusk]

And why?

[prisma shard]

^

i will have pain if i change everything to native fill

hmm

uh

WHY DOES playerInterWithBLock not work for me?

itemUse only work for me

[prisma shard]

dont work with uninteractable blocks

[dim tusk]

restart mc or check script version.

[dim tusk]

use beforeEvents.

[prisma shard]

oh ok ay lemme

HEY IT WORKS
THANK YOU CODDY

[prisma shard]

your a legend

Now how do i get the first block

it spams lol

[hybrid island]

yo custom cmds exist in 1.21.71?

or just preview

[prisma shard]

ok i rememered isFirstEvent

but it still returs two times

[fathom hemlock]

how do I define the inventory cuz const inv = target.getComponent('minecraft:inventory').container; is not working

[dim tusk]

preview only.

[dim tusk]

if (!isFirstEvent) return

[dim tusk]

That's correct

const { container } = player.getComponent('inventory');

for (const slot = 0; slot < container.size; slot++) {
  const itemStack = container.getItem(slot);
  // ...
}```

[prisma shard]

it returns two times

[fathom hemlock]

okay

[prisma shard]

i did but still the event fires two times

[dim tusk]

Try doing console if it returns twice means it's broken if it don't then it's your script

[prisma shard]

OH

okay it was my script 😂

[hybrid island]

[dim tusk]

see? Lol... It stupid why that would happen

The find(), firstEmptySlot(), firstItem(), contains() and reverseFind() in inventory component are very freaking useful.

[fathom hemlock]

inv ist sill not working:

    if (!inv) return target.sendMessage("§cInventory not found.");

    for (let i = 0; i < 36; i++) {
        const item = inv.getItem(i);
        if (!item) continue;

        ui.button(i, `§l§f${item.typeId}`, [`§7Amount: §e${item.amount}`], item.typeId, item.amount);
    }```

getComponent is not defined

[dim tusk]

Then your entity doesn't have inventory component.

[fathom hemlock]

oh wait let me define player

[dim tusk]

or you're getting invalid entity.

[fathom hemlock]

cuz on my auctionhouse its working

    if (!inv) return player.sendMessage("§cInventory not found.");

    const ui = new ChestFormData('large').title("§l§eSelect an Item to Sell");

    for (let i = 0; i < 36; i++) {
        const item = inv.getItem(i);
        if (!item) continue;

        ui.button(i, `§l§f${item.typeId}`, [`§7Amount: §e${item.amount}`], item.typeId, item.amount);
    }

[dim tusk]

In that that shows entity is not grabbed or defined properly.

[prisma shard]

function mainMenu(player) { 
    const form = new ActionFormData()
    .title(`Main Menu`)
    .button(`§l§5settings`)
    .button(`§l§cUndo`)
    .button(`§l§qRedo`)
    .button(`§l§1Fill`)
    .button(`§l§1Paste`)
    .button(`§l§1Create`)
    .button(`§l§1Circle`)
    .button(`§l§1Sphere`)
    form.show(player).then(result=>{
        const forms = [
            command.settings,
            command.undo,
            command.redo,
            command.fill,
            command.paste,
            command.create,
            command.circle,
            command.sphere
        ];

// why does that line return error
        forms[result.selection](player);
    })
}

[dim tusk]

what error? The dog eat the cat??

Say the error.

[prisma shard]

bruh "not a function"

wow chaining operator saves my life

i should realy do practice of using chaning operator

[dim tusk]

Probably returns undefined.

-# oof nvm.

[prisma shard]

// open menu
world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(e=>{
    const {source: player, itemStack} = e
    if (itemStack.typeId == "minecraft:wooden_axe") {
        let distance = 10
        if (player.getBlockFromViewDirection()) {
            let {x,y,z} = player.getBlockFromViewDirection().faceLocation 
            x += player.getBlockFromViewDirection().block.location.x
            y += player.getBlockFromViewDirection().block.location.y
            z += player.getBlockFromViewDirection().block.location.z
            const pLoc = player.getHeadLocation()
            distance = Math.sqrt(
                Math.pow(x - 0.5 - pLoc.x, 2) +
                Math.pow(y - 0.5 - pLoc.y, 2) +
                Math.pow(z - 0.5 - pLoc.z, 2)
            );
        }
        if (distance > 6) {
            mainMenu(player)
        }
    }
})````
Theissue with it is the form opening, some wrong calculations in distance or head location maybe,
because the not a function error, only happens when the player is lill far away, and looking on air, btu still form don't open, then it returns the not a function error

[dim tusk]

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

const command = {
  settings: (player) => player.sendMessage("Opened Settings"),
  undo: (player) => player.sendMessage("Undid last action")
};

function mainMenu(player) {
  const commands = {
    'Settings': command.settings,
    'Undo': command.undo
  };

  const form = new ActionFormData().title(`Main Menu`);
  Object.keys(commands).forEach(text => form.button(text));

  form.show(player).then(result => {
    if (result.selection === undefined) return;

    const commandNames = Object.keys(commands);
    if (result.selection >= 0 && result.selection < commandNames.length) commands[commandNames[result.selection]](player);
  });
}

I literally created it.

Like wtf.

[prisma shard]

huh

[dim tusk]

I recreated it.

[prisma shard]

okay

[dim tusk]

Wtf is this redundancy?

[prisma shard]

wddym redundancy

[dim tusk]

You're calling multiple getBlockFromViewDirection

[prisma shard]

hehe

[dim tusk]

Tf you don't see no redundancy 😭😭

Your redundancy can slow down your script and game.

[prisma shard]

ik ok ill fix

[dim tusk]

And what are you doing?

[prisma shard]

staring at you

I mean,
trying update a Old WorldEdit script to 2.0.0-beta

guysss I get error on line 11 but on line 11 is nothing

[distant tulip]

error and code

[prisma shard]

itemUseOn is not in 2.0.0-beta

[fathom hemlock]

its always line 11

You didn't say that in the first place...

Checking if there's 6 blcoks of air from view direction of player?

just a part

[prisma shard]

:

[dim tusk]

Answer me.

[prisma shard]

very sus why would it return error on a empty line

[fathom hemlock]

yes

its spamming my chat

[prisma shard]

I think im just disturbing you guys, the "not a function" is a lil rare errror. if it works it works lmao hehe

[dim tusk]

Spamming in chat?

[prisma shard]

I think you meant console

[dim tusk]

And? I don't complain or something

If I help, I will help lol

[fathom hemlock]

😭

I have this issue soo long

[prisma shard]

If you want answer, Yes

[fathom hemlock]

I deleted the code and its still line 11 😭

[prisma shard]

Then its runningn another script, else manifest is wrong, else you didnnt import it

So its not a code fault

[fathom hemlock]

the logs 😭

[distant tulip]

you are using development_behavior_packs?

[fathom hemlock]

no

[distant tulip]

you should

[fathom hemlock]

but after reload the script is changing

[prisma shard]

no

[distant tulip]

no?

[fathom hemlock]

yes

its changing

[prisma shard]

I meant, no, the sccript is not reloading, if your not using devellopment folder

[fathom hemlock]

ohhh

[distant tulip]

the game take a copy of behavior packs if they are on behavior_packs, so changing the ones in behavior_packs change nothing

[fathom hemlock]

oh ok

[prisma shard]

i accidentaly reacted a sklull to your messege "you should" you might've thought that i am not telling him to use development pack folder lol

[fathom hemlock]

np

[dim tusk]

finally

I just recoded everything

[prisma shard]

ayo thanks!

[prisma shard]

what do i replace location with

[dim tusk]

for?

[tropic geyser]

do you know how to access the equipment worn on an armor stand?

[distant tulip]

can't
what for?

[tropic geyser]

its not rlly nothing specific i was just coding a circle made out of armor stands and i was seeing if you could put a helmet on all of them through the code

[distant tulip]

use commands

[tropic geyser]

how would i do that?

[distant tulip]

entity.runCommand("replaceitem entity @s....")

[tropic geyser]

yeah ty

[tropic geyser]

but isnt that basically just doing what get component would do?

[distant tulip]

equipment don't work on none player entities

[tropic geyser]

right didnt know that sorry thanks for help

[cyan basin]

that's a bit silly that equippable doesn't work on non-players. hopefully this gets updated at some point

does anyone actually play preview? i made a simple homes addon using the new command registry (mainly for when it goes stable) but i don't know if anyone would actually use this at the moment.

[distant tulip]

preview is used mainly in testing

[cyan basin]

fair enough

[warped kelp]

How does this work?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/datadrivenentitytriggerafterevent?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

It just reads the entity events

[wary edge]

Yeah essentially.

[warped kelp]

The output can be used to run other events using more script like getModifier?

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[warped kelp]

Example please? Brain not braining:(

[valid ice]

You can do whatever the heck you want with the output inside scripts

[warped kelp]

So essentially, if I use sensors inside a mob that runs events, either for movesets or mode_changer, the script could read that and run other things alongside it?

[valid ice]

Absolutely

[warped kelp]

Like, if for example the entity sensor detects a target entity far enough away, it could run an event that makes it angry, adding the component group, which then activates like.. applyImpulse to "dash" towards the target?

There could be more efficient ways to do this.. but maybe using timers on single component groups that cycles through?

[valid ice]

Totally possible
You could even have the entity sensor inside of scripts, using a getEntities on a consistent loop to detect close by mobs

[warped kelp]

Posibilits

Mind comprehends now

I will
Dig
In the documentation and
Cook

[valid ice]

You will have to learn javascript, just be warned 😛

[warped kelp]

I can wing it, people say I'm pretty fast at learning :3
-# only one person has said it

So long as the sacred texts can provide me a template, I'll try

[valid ice]

If you're willing to learn you're halfway there

[warped kelp]

I guess the next simplest step forward is adding a script that applies a dash mechanic for when target entities are too far away. I'd assume that I can run a function that gives the entity resistance for immunity

[valid ice]

You can legitimately do whatever you want inside scripts*

* some limits apply

[warped kelp]

The deep always know where to seek, as they say.

[prisma shard]

such as cancelling entity damage

when will mojang ever add entituHurt beforeEvent

[warped kelp]

Do you need it? I have made one for components

[valid ice]

You can mimic it with damage sensors, but having the ability inside scripts is very valuable

(Such as reading the amount of damage dealt and modifying it)

[prisma shard]

i know right canceling damage is possible with damage_sensor component

[warped kelp]

Mathematics :(

[weary onyx]

guys, how can i make my addon runs the scripts?

[warped kelp]

There is a.. component? For that, right?

[prisma shard]

you mean JSON ?

[prisma shard]

you have to put your main.js path to your manifest.json.

[warped kelp]

Yesh

[coral ermine]

how to check if player started breaking block? Is it possible with
itemUseOn or entityHitBlock event

[weary onyx]

ah, how do i implement it? i mean the object to add the path

[warped kelp]

Most of my addons just have a lot of json file for detecting on hit and running random functions, or just a function, and another for just removing duplicate mobs

[prisma shard]

You must have to hit the block first, to start breaking right?
so the perfect event for you would be entityHitBlock.

[prisma shard]

Then yeah, damage_sensor component

[warped kelp]

One more thing, applyImpulse for entities, and applyKnockback for players?

[prisma shard]

Yes.

applyImpulse() doesn't work for players.

[warped kelp]

Hmm. I might just use applyKnockback for all then?

[prisma shard]

but applyKnockback() also works for entities

but not dropped items ("minecraft:item") you got to use applyImmpulse to push them

there are also some cases where applyKnockback not work for entitites

[warped kelp]

I see, but since I mostly use entities, the items are fin—..

Darn

[prisma shard]

the items are fin-?

[warped kelp]

Is it rare to occur?

[weary onyx]

is this good implemented?

[prisma shard]

Yes

[warped kelp]

I guess I'll just have to take my chances with 3 tp commands in a function

[prisma shard]

i think so

[prisma shard]

there is native method for teleporting

entity.teleport({})

[weary onyx]

i made a little command that say hello world, but doesn't execute

[warped kelp]

Thank you

I'll sleep on it

[prisma shard]

Do you want to execute the "hello wold" messege once upon joining the world? or execute it eveery tick

[weary onyx]

execute once time

[prisma shard]

Also, make sure your script version is 1.18.0 (latest stable) or 2.0.0-beta (latest beta) in manifest.json

if your using bridge v2, it sets @minecraft/server to 1.0.0-beta once upon creating a project, idk why

So you'd have to set it manually if you haven't

[weary onyx]

i see

[prisma shard]

You should use 1.18.0

world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(() => {
  world.sendMessage("Hello World!")
})

[weary onyx]

i see

[prisma shard]

only for 1.18.0

worldLoad if using 2.0.0-beata

[weary onyx]

a little question

how do i know the version of that?

this?

[prisma shard]

you dont have to care about that

thats the pack version right

or mayb a dependency version

[shy leaf]

yes but wrap it with try catch because it can throw for specific entities

[warped kelp]

Is there a template I can use?

It turns out "sleeping on it" isn't so easy

[prisma shard]

Template for what

[warped kelp]

For the dash, I mean

[prisma shard]

wdym sleeping on it

[prisma shard]

Dash?

wdym dash

uhhh just elaborate

[warped kelp]

Sleeping on it to like, sleep to get a fresh mind for it.
Dash as in using applyKnockback to "dash" either from being called thru events or on use of an item/weapon

I have a player input someone let me kindly use so I can experiment with it

[coral ermine]

Yh but it says I breaked air when I break block in creative

world.afterEvents.entityHitBlock.subscribe(({ damagingEntity: player, hitBlock: block }) => {
  if (!player || !block) return;
  const id = block.typeId;
  console.warn(id);
});

[prisma shard]

If your in creative, you can't detect if player sarted breaking block

bcoz creative instantly breaks the block....

[coral ermine]

so there’s no way to detect it in creative?

[prisma shard]

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((event) => {
    const { itemStack, source: player } = event;
    if (itemStack?.typeId === "your_dash_item" && player instanceof Player) {
        player.applyKnockback({x: 0, y: 0}, 1) //example
    }
})

I still didnt understand what you meant by sleeping on it/ fresh mind

[prisma shard]

Ofcourse no

Oh you just want the block

then use playerBreakBlock event

[warped kelp]

Waw thanks! :0

[prisma shard]

in entityHitBlock you'd detect if player is in survival
and in playerBreakBlock event, you;d detect if player is in creative
@coral ermine

Bcoz firing the event when starting to break the block could be only possibgle in survival

and using entityHitBlock makes no sense in creative, since creative instantly breaks block.

[weary onyx]

a little doubt

hmm, how do i refresh the files after i modified and saved the changes?

[distant tulip]

/reload

[weary onyx]

on bedrock, right?

[distant tulip]

uh, yeah?

[prisma shard]

The server is about Bedrock

[dense sun]

else if (message == ".suicide") {
        data.cancel = true
        return player.runCommand(`kill @s`);
    }

[valid ice]

Ok 👍

[dense sun]

it says no required permissions

[dense sun]

do you know what could be wrong?

[prisma shard]

else if (message == ".suicide") {
        data.cancel = true
        system.run(() => {
            player.runCommand(`kill @s`);
        })
    }

[prisma shard]

use the fixed code i sent you

[dense sun]

would that lag the game?

[prisma shard]

No

[distant tulip]

Player.kill()

[prisma shard]

☝️ Yeah, there is native method for kiling

[dense sun]

does system,runJob help in multithreading ?

[deep arrow]

Yes

[prisma shard]

Yes

[dense sun]

so if i have 2 loops

and i dont use system.runjob

will it use a single CPU thread ?

[prisma shard]

system.runJob

Queues a generator to run until completion. The generator will be given a time slice each tick, and will be run until it yields or completes.

Bro changed his answer to Yes THATS VERY WILD

[dense sun]

I have a loop that lags when there are more than 20 players

[somber cedar]

Script api isn't multi threaded

[deep arrow]

😂 i take my loses if im wrong

[dense sun]

if I use system.run Job for my loop , will it actually help?

[prisma shard]

depends on what you do

[prisma shard]

system.runJob queues each work until completion, so it doesnt just instantly run that, and by making a stop/queue, it can somehow help in multithread like suppose you want to do antoher task at the same time

[dense sun]

Any tips when it should be used?

[prisma shard]

And multithread is used here a pseudo word, like it means here to not make the game overloaded with the task, but not like the CPU multitaksing

[prisma shard]

filling/breaking large area of blocks at once

[somber cedar]

the process is run in slices before other sync stuff are run i think

well that's what i understand from this picture https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.System-2.html

[dense sun]

I have a gun firing system

detects itemuseage and starts a runinterval to shoot out the projectiles

I use a loop that runs non stop for the player to show ammo count and some parameters using actionbar.

[prisma shard]

I meant, system.runJob divide one task, you can see in the picture, it runs at first, "until" the "task" is complete. then it runs system.run, and if you can even somhow divide the task, and you wrap the task in system.run, it will run each tick, which will make the task run so slowly, runJob is to not make the game overload, and but to keep the task efficient at the same time.

[prisma shard]

It's just your preference, you might have not to use runJob here

[dense sun]

so there are no other ways to optimize the runinterval?

[prisma shard]

idk

[humble lintel]

random question but does anyone know how to scale gui below -1

[random flint]

Exit the execution early if certain conditions fail.

Only update when the amo count changes. Otherwise, use a higher interval when renewing the actionbar to reduce the TPS load.

[distant tulip]

what? no
script api run single threaded, and all scripts share the main game thread

runJob only help with offloading heavy calculations by scheduling "jobs" to be run asynchronously to prevent blocking other scripts

[random flint]

Since you're showing something and not a heavy operation you should stick with system.runInterval()

There's a chance where system.runJob() would instead run .setActionBar() more than once in the same tick, which is redundant

[fathom hemlock]

umm

how do I do a scrolling effect with herobrines chestui?

or actionformdata

idk

[nova flame]

would anyone be able to help me with actionformdata in vc im poo at js

[fathom hemlock]

function ui(player) {
  const test = new ActionFormData()
  .title("test")
  .button("test")
  .show(player).then(res => {
    if (res.canceled) return;
    if (res.selection == 0) {
    player.runCommand("say test")

}
}
}

should work

[nova flame]

Not what i meant

[unique acorn]

if you want I can help you rn, I won't talk tho

[nova flame]

Okay ill join in 1 second

[fathom hemlock]

how do I add the player health?

[dim tusk]

const health = Entity.getComponent('health');

const current = health.currentValue; // imagine it's 5
health.setCurrentValue(health + 10); // output: 15```

[dim tusk]

Edit settings 🤷

[fathom hemlock]

its not working I don't see more healths on my health bar:

    const { damageSource, deadEntity } = event;
    const killer = damageSource?.damagingEntity;

    if (!killer || !killer.hasTag("lifesteal:on")) return;
    if (!killer.hasComponent("minecraft:health")) return;

    const health = killer.getComponent("minecraft:health");
    const currentMax = health.currentValue;

    if (currentMax < MAX_HEARTS) {
        health.setCurrentValue(currentMax + 2);
        try {
            killer.runCommand(`titleraw @s actionbar {"rawtext":[{"text":"§a+1 Heart (Lifesteal)"}]}`);
        } catch (e) {
            console.warn("runCommand error:", e);
        }
    }
});

[fathom hemlock]

more hearts*

[dim tusk]

Because that's not possible

You can't make show more heart bars without using health boost.

[fathom hemlock]

ohhh

[dim tusk]

It set current value but not max value.

[fathom hemlock]

but health_boost gives u 2 hearts per amplifier

Good evening, can someone help me with JS? I need to launch an entity in circles around another one to simulate a tornado. But I can't think of any function that would help me do that.
Sorry for the English, I'm Brazilian and I asked ChatGPT to translate this for me.

[patent tapir]

Would my script run without error with this logic, WITHOUT anything in the pack to add the player beforehand? js if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("deathCount")) if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("deathCount").getParticipants().includes(deadEntity.scoreboardIdentity)) if (deadEntity instanceof Player) world.scoreboard.getObjective("deathCount").addScore(deadEntity.scoreboardIdentity, 1)

I'm making a script for basic statistics, but I would like to have the option of not making the score in the first place or choosing only certain players.

[dim tusk]

You want to increase death score of player?

[patent tapir]

^

[dim tusk]

I have read that, I was just confirming

The script you just gave is confusing.

[patent tapir]

Yes. I'm going for all the non-compound scoreboard criterion that Java has

Air, food, health, levels, xp, and armor

[dim tusk]

I mean, without initializing scores you can just addScore() it immediately.

[patent tapir]

And all the kill/deaths ones

[patent tapir]

^

[dim tusk]

Don't be mad lol

[dim tusk]

I just answered this because you literally answered "yes"

[patent tapir]

I'm just asking if it would work (as in, not work but continue the code without error) if there was either no score or no player on that score, or both

[dim tusk]

as I said, you don't need to initialize scores if you're setting a score on player in a specific objective, you just do that if it's getScore(), it returns undefined if player don't have score in the objective... And you know that...

no fancy BLA BLA, just directly add score.

[patent tapir]

That's why it has if (world.scoreboard.getObjective("deathCount").getParticipants().includes(deadEntity.scoreboardIdentity)) 💀

[dim tusk]

if ((obj?.getScore(player) || 0)) {}```

[patent tapir]

...

I'M SIMPLY ASKING IF IT WOULD WORK, NOT HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER

[dim tusk]

Umm, I answered you twice tho.

You don't need to be mad.... Loll

[patent tapir]

You really havent

It's yes

Or no

[dim tusk]

ok mister...

yes.

[patent tapir]

Ok

Thank you

[dim tusk]

Happy? Also can't you just check it?

[patent tapir]

Not in singleplayer ._.

[dim tusk]

and?

[patent tapir]

Oh wait

It counts all deaths

Nevermind

Still no though

I like to have my scripts "finished" before testing

And so far, I can't figure out how to the get the current armor or food values of the player

How do I do that?

[dim tusk]

okay? Then good luck finding error root by root if you go test it thinking it actually works.

[patent tapir]

I don't understand properties or dynamic properties so unless you tell me that one of the properties of the player carries it I can't use them

[dim tusk]

vanilla armor yes, custom no, for food values someone did in the #1067535712372654091 I you meant the hunger bar the food game....

[dim tusk]

you don't read docs?

[patent tapir]

The hunger bar

[patent tapir]

Not really

[dim tusk]

You can't.

[patent tapir]

Dang

[dim tusk]

read then.

[patent tapir]

And I assume the one in the script resources is an extremely convoluted script that checks for what armor the player is wearing, which I have to run every couple of ticks for refresh and will cause a lot of lag

I guess I'm not making armor or food stats

[dim tusk]

const dp = Entity/Player/ItemStack/World.getDynamicProperty('<name>');

Entity/Player/ItemStack/World.setDynamicProperty('<name>', <value | Boolean | String | Number | Vector3 | undefined>);```

This are very straightforward they're not that hard to understand

you can store DP in world, player, entity, and item.

[patent tapir]

It's more "WHAT PROPERTIES ARE THERE ALREADY" and "HOW CAN I ACTUALLY SET MY OWN"

[dim tusk]

ignore what is aid there since what I meant in script resource is the food values...

[dim tusk]

read docs my guy??

[patent tapir]

The docs are so damn long and hard to find relevant information for what I'm doing usually

[dim tusk]

I guess search button doesn't exist?

[patent tapir]

Barely functional

[dim tusk]

either your lazy to find or you suck at finding.

[patent tapir]

Sure

[dim tusk]

what site are you using in the first place?

Don't tell me Microsoft docs.

[patent tapir]

learn.microsoft.com and minecraft.wiki and bedrock.dev sometimes

[dim tusk]

if yes just use stirante or jayly

[patent tapir]

Never heard of em

[dim tusk]

they're small in terms of information, use what I suggested for scripts.

[dim tusk]

ohh no...

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player.html

Now I'm not surprised why you always asked for properties players/items or blocks has...

[patent tapir]

Yep

The only shit I know how to do for the most part are things Bridge can autocomplete

[dim tusk]

just use vscode like....

[patent tapir]

On iPad?

Bro even on pc I don't know how to properly use or install schemas and what about other behavior/resource pack stuff??

[woven loom]

hows this 🙂

[dim tusk]

Fireeee 🔥🔥

you used Block.getMapColor()??

[woven loom]

yes and format codes

[dim tusk]

Ahh you used the one you made in #1067535712372654091

[woven loom]

yep 😄

[dim tusk]

You used runJob() for checking?

[woven loom]

nah for demo nope

i wanted to build the idea

[dim tusk]

now make it pixeleprfect... Jk

[woven loom]

any good char to use as block ? rn i am using §l#

[tropic geyser]

what is the item component in item json for setting item to be enchanted as a sword eg it can have mending, unbreaking, etc

[wary edge]

#1067869136606220288 please.

[tropic geyser]

mb

[dim tusk]

I guess not? Best I could think of is custom emojis

Then use char code.

[woven loom]

i hate using rps :/

thats why i had this idea

xd

[wary edge]

Video clearly using RP

[woven loom]

for addons*

[cinder shadow]

man I'm really trying my best to use the new container methods we got recently, but they all just seem so... useless

The one I did manage to use, isStackableWith, doesn't seem to have much of a use when you can check typeId == typeId

[random flint]

It probably takes into account Lore, NBT, and dynamicProperty differences, not just typeId.

Example: Tipped arrows share the same typeId as an arrow

[distant tulip]

that is true
they take into account if the item max stack size tho, so keep that in mind

[dim tusk]

isStackable is ItemStack and ItemStack....

and iirc if it's unstackable it returns false...

[ripe dune]

⬛⬜

[random flint]

What is that, unicode?

[distant tulip]

emoji

[ripe dune]

^

[dim tusk]

What are you doing here 🤔

[woven loom]

is that default ?

[ripe dune]

yes

[woven loom]

damn didnt knew that

can u share default png

[ripe dune]

oooh now i got it lol

that is unicode

as you can see

but i remembered something

wait

[random flint]

-# I was right

[cinder shadow]

I'm aware, but you can just do typeId == typeId. If it's unstackable it returns false, but you can also just check amount to maxAmount. Additionally, it doesn't return whether that specific itemStack is stackable, only if the item itself can be stacked, so you still have to do additional checks beyond that.

[ripe dune]

░▒▓█

those will not make your text unicode

[thorn flicker]

would be better if the contains() method used itemType

[random flint]

That's one of the way to counter item with shared id tho

[distant tulip]

typeId == typeId. If it's unstackable it returns false
no

[cinder shadow]

so great, now you know the item can be stacked! now you have to do

if(currentInventoryItemAmount + amountToAdd > currentInventoryItemMaxAmount) {
                currentInventoryItem.amount = currentInventoryItemMaxAmount;
                inventory.setItem(i, currentInventoryItem);
                amountToAdd -= (currentInventoryItemMaxAmount - currentInventoryItemAmount);         
            }```
Which you were already going to have to do

[distant tulip]

just use addItem

it return the left amount that didn't get added

[cinder shadow]

that doesn't behave as I believe it should be

[random flint]

plus, it stacks automatically

[cinder shadow]

addItem does not, it fills into the next empty slot

[random flint]

-# Only stacks if it has the same data obviously

[cinder shadow]

If you want it to go into the available stacks, you have to search the inventory manually first

[distant tulip]

it check items before that

[cinder shadow]

It does not

[distant tulip]

...

let me see

[valid ice]

addItem returns the remaining ItemStack if it could not add it to the inventory in general

Not the slot

[random flint]

I think Koala means that addItem() will prioritize the first empty slot then an existing item of the same type

[cinder shadow]

^

The best solution is:

1. Manually search through inventory for available stacks and add to those
2. use addItem
3. spawnItem

[distant tulip]

it does not ....wt😣

[cinder shadow]

that's essentially how /give works

[valid ice]

Ah yeah it does that

I hate it

[cinder shadow]

I was pretty much done fixing my function that I have left untouched for months to cover any special cases and thought I was done

but I'm trying to cover if someone tries to add like 2000 of something

[valid ice]

Solution: don’t

[cinder shadow]

well, I need to cover it for one of my crafting systems, I haven't exactly checked the theoretical max and whether it would ever be an issue

[shy leaf]

i noticed that in minecraft movie event

like, why does it keep going into my hotbar?

💀

[distant tulip]

give @s item 😅

[cinder shadow]

but I might as well make it flexible anyways

[valid ice]

Bad

[distant tulip]

ok

lol

[thorn flicker]

didnt koala say thats how give works aswell

[cinder shadow]

the issue with this is that new ItemStack only allows up to an amount of 255

[distant tulip]

wat

[thorn flicker]

I misunderstood what koala said ig

[distant tulip]

i am questioning my memory now, that can't be true

[thorn flicker]

@distant tulip

[thorn flicker]

I believe this message had to do with this message though

[cinder shadow]

It did

[thorn flicker]

yeah, I misunderstood.

[distant tulip]

had to double check in game, lol

[thorn flicker]

lol

[distant tulip]

now i can sleep peacefully
-# 2 AM

[random flint]

Good night

I mean, Good morning

[distant tulip]

yeah, lol

good day to you too lol
idk your time zone

[random flint]

I'm 6 hours in the future

[cinder shadow]

welp time to see if what I did works or if I'm about to crash my game with an infinite while loop

[shy leaf]

im still wondering if theres a way to prevent crashing from infinite loops

-# especially when i accidentally mess up with nametags

[cinder shadow]

you just don't use while loops

[shy leaf]

ofc but i meant infinite loops

not just while loops

[cinder shadow]

an infinite loop will always crash any game at some point

[shy leaf]

man i wish watchdog was useful for this

[cinder shadow]

I don't see what watchdog would do

"Your game is about to crash"

0.1 seconds before it crashes

[shy leaf]

oh yeah fair

cant stop what has already happened

[distant tulip]

-# zzzz not if it is in a runJob

[shy leaf]

speaking of which

what does runJob do exactly

i never understood it

[distant tulip]

run a job

[shy leaf]

understandable

[distant tulip]

lol, give me a sec

[shy leaf]

thanks

[distant tulip]

a function under the system class that uses generator function to run a set of tasks in different times

Generator functions have something called yeild, when the runjob run the function and reach a yeild it stops the execution and resume it next time the game is free

[shy leaf]

oh so it basically gives the game a 'work' to do instead of making them to do it immediately

[distant tulip]

yeah

[shy leaf]

thats nice

[distant tulip]

it is like
normal functions: stop everything you are doing and do this now
runJob + Generator functions: Do this when you can, when ever you have free time work on it a bit

[random flint]

system.runJob()

You give Bob 🐟 a job. Bob is lazy. If it is too much work he'll do it the next day. If it's easy, he does it more on the same day

[shy leaf]

the name makes sense now

runJob

RAM as salary

[distant tulip]

we need runFromJob

quietJob

gtg now fr lol

[shy leaf]

quitJob :trolley:

see ya

[random flint]

Your brain need to be paid for staying awake that long

[shy leaf]

watchdog would put them in sleep

[distant tulip]

-# auto wake up at 7 😫

[cinder shadow]

I am at peace now

[viscid horizon]

how are you all doing today

[random flint]

kaboom

[solar dagger]

is there a way to get the total of entities killed within a certain attack action?

let killCount = 0;

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ damageSource, deadEntity }) => {

  const dmgSource = damageSource.damagingEntity;
  const validEntityTypes = Object.keys(entityAbilities)
  const victimHealthComp = deadEntity.getComponent('minecraft:health') as EntityHealthComponent;
  if (!dmgSource || !validEntityTypes.includes(dmgSource.typeId) || !victimHealthComp) return;
  const isTamed = dmgSource.getComponent('is_tamed');

  if (!isTamed) return;
  addExperience(dmgSource, xpReward(victimHealthComp.effectiveMax) * killCount);
});

Or would I have to use the entityHurtEntity event to increase that value

[random flint]

Does attack action refer to the damage type dealt? Or the way they're killed?

[tropic geyser]

how do i set the lore of an item in scripting?

[random flint]

const item = new ItemStack("apple",1);
item.setLore(["line 1", "line 2"]);

[tropic geyser]

i tried that but off an item use event and it didnt work

[random flint]

You need to actually set it to the player inventory.

const inv = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
inv.addItem(item)

or

inv.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, item)

[tropic geyser]

right so i defines the new item data so i set that to the ibnv?

inv?

[random flint]

yes inventory

[tropic geyser]

alr ty

[random flint]

addItem() to add the item to the first empty slot. Automatically stack with a similar item

setItem() to override specific slot

[tropic geyser]

yeah ty again

[random flint]

You don't really need to define a new one. If the event gave you the itemStack property, I suggest to use it instead.

It'll retain its old data like its name, Lore, enchantment, etc.

[valid ice]

ItemStack is like a "snapshot" of the item at the time it's gotten (event fire, getItem, etc) and is not related to the inventory in any way.

[tropic geyser]

how do i get auto sugestions like if i do world. then it will show me what i can do im using vscode

[random flint]

I just search on YouTube blindly. Took me an hour.

[tropic geyser]

??

[random flint]

Installing autocompletion (typings)

npm and stuff

[tropic geyser]

like "npm i @minecraft/server@latest"?

[random flint]

"Bedrock Scripting set ups guide"

[tropic geyser]

where is this

[random flint]

Search it on youtube

[tropic geyser]

alr ty

[random flint]

Might not get what you want. You need to improvise and search more or use different wording

[solar dagger]

Damage type, I'm applying damage with the tamed entity being the cause of damage. Every victim that is killed should be accounted for. Exp reward should multiply if the damage kills more than 1 entity. That's why I have the killCount set

[random flint]

Use dynamicProperty. That killCount variable will be shared with other player pets and won't be saved between world loads

Like this:

const killCount = (dmgSource.getDynamicProperty("killCount") ?? 0) + 1;
dmgSource.setDynamicProperty("killCount", killCount);
xpReward(victimHealthComp.effectiveMax * killCount);

[shy leaf]

can itemStartUse and itemStopUse desync?

trying to make right click hold detection but im worried if anything can go wrong

[random flint]

It's unlikely.

[shy leaf]

hopefully

cant believe i have to do ALL OF THOSE to check for shield block check

man only if i could use is_blocking query in scripting

[dim tusk]

Ohh no gega become anime girl...

[random flint]

Oh no, It's a disaster indeed

[echo tinsel]

Is there something like this I could use but attachables giving effects instead?

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

const helmetParticle = {
    "minecraft:diamond_helmet": "...",
    "minecraft:golden_helmet": "...",
    //...
};

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        const equipment = player.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");
        if (!equipment) continue;

        const helmet = equipment.getEquipment("Head");
        if (!helmet) continue;

        const particleId = helmetParticle[helmet.typeId];
        if (!particleId) continue;

        const playerPos = player.location;
        const spawnPos = {
            x: playerPos.x,
            y: playerPos.y + 2, // spawning above the head
            z: playerPos.z
        };

        player.dimension.spawnParticle(particleId, spawnPos);
    }
}, 10); // 0.5 seconds

[random flint]

you can link animation on attachable, then spawn particles from the anination

[echo tinsel]

Im already using this script for particles. I'm wondering if I can use a similar script for adding effects(like Invisibility) also?

[echo tinsel]

Also I switched to script because doing it that way wasn't working with the locators.

[random flint]

You can do the particle thing with only a resource pack. But applying potion effects like invisibility needs to done on the server

[echo tinsel]

What?

[random flint]

player.addEffect("haste", duration, {
amplifier: 100,
showParticles: false
})

-# missread your message there

[echo tinsel]

Sorry. Where would that go?

I'm trying to add effects to multiple attachables like above is spawning particles for multiple attachables.

Nevermind. I think I figured it out

[random flint]

Not edited, just new one that doesn't spawn the particle

const helmetEffect = {
    "minecraft:diamond_helmet": ["haste",{ amplifier: 2 }],
    "minecraft:golden_helmet": ["invisibility",{}],
    //...
};

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
        const equipment = player.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");
        if (!equipment) continue;

        const helmet = equipment.getEquipment("Head");
        if (!helmet) continue;

        const effectData = helmetEffect[helmet.typeId];
        if (!effectData) continue;

        player.addEffect(effectData[0],10,effectData[1])
    }
}, 10); // 0.5 seconds

[dim tusk]

system.runInteral(() => {
  for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
    const equippable = player.getComponent('equippable');
    const head = equippable.getEquipment('Head');
    const location = player.location;

    if (head?.typeId === 'minecraft:netherite_helmet') {
      player.dimension.spawnParticle('', { x: location.x, y: location.y + 2, z: location.z });
      player.addEffect();
    }
  }
});```

Is there a way for me to make it where the effect particle doesn't show?

Is that the last "1"?

    ]
  }
};

system.runInterval(() => {

    const equippable = player.getComponent('equippable');
    const location = player.location;

    for (const slot of ['Head', 'Chest', 'Legs', 'Feet']) {
      const equipped = equippable.getEquipment(slot);
      const config = equipped && armor[equipped?.typeId];

      if (config) {
        for (const effectObj of config.effects) for (const [effectId, options] of Object.entries(effectObj)) {
          const { duration = 20, ...rest } = options;
          player.addEffect(effectId, duration, rest);
        }

        player.dimension.spawnParticle(config.particle, {  x: location.x,  y: location.y + 2, z: location.z  });
      }

  }
});```

I am weird. Wtf.

Just watching it change trying to learn 🤣 👀

I will use that one later most likely when I have things more fleshed out. but I'm just testing things for now with chests and effects.

Perhaps I need to ask here, as help that I've gotten else where has not worked.

I am having issues with custom armor stand made through block bench.

They refuse to place facing forward. And when adding the axis aligned component all it does is shake, same happens if I add the blocked component.

Is it possible to script that it can only be placed in 8 directions or that it auto aligns when placed? This has been drying me insane for the past 2 weeks.

The one that is not shaking is how it is without axis aligned or blocked. Other is with

That is just a default armor stand appearance, armor stand behavior entity created through block bench

I was told it shakes because of the runtime_identifier but removing that makes it not act like an armor stand anymore

[dim tusk]

how is the entity face in that direction?

Wait, I'm doing the \

[distant tulip]

double it in case

so it is escaped

[dim tusk]

very valid.

I mean, you cna use it...

[distant tulip]

alr, was hoping it brake something

lol

[dim tusk]

I think the namespace you really can't use is the classic Minecraft and /

Using / namespace still registers the command since it exists tho you can't use it since in general // is invalid.

[fathom hemlock]

how do I cancel event from a entity like villager

[random flint]

What kind? trading with them?

[fathom hemlock]

yes

event.cancel is not working

[prisma shard]

Any errors

show error

[fathom hemlock]

nothing still the entity event

there are no errors

[wary edge]

Try commenting out the runCommand and add a console.log.

[prisma shard]

Do you have valid dynamic property saved on that entity

[fathom hemlock]

ok

[prisma shard]

because you also checking if the entity has the dynamic property, so you have to make sure if the entity has the dynamic property

[fathom hemlock]

okay

[solar dagger]

Thanks I'll give it a try

[fathom hemlock]

how this is so illegal

[prisma shard]

Just do console.warn() on after each line, and see which line doesn't execute

Then you'll know what line has the problem

[fathom hemlock]

okay

oh that return was wrong

[prisma shard]

Uh

Isnt entity.name a thing?

I am not getting .name in typings

[fathom hemlock]

error

[shy leaf]

not for mobs i think

only for player

[prisma shard]

oooo

[prisma shard]

guys which color is bettter

just a example

ok

[random flint]

I usually go with mostly red and yellow for highlights for warning message

[prisma shard]

but thats not really a warning

not antthing like YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS

[random flint]

I thought a combat tag was a warning since most punished you after relogging

[distant tulip]

it is a notification
the highlight of the message is the name so it should be with a color that stand out better then the info itself

[prisma shard]

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({ hitEntity, damagingEntity }) => {
    if (!damagingEntity?.hasTag("ws:combat") && (damagingEntity?.typeId === "minecraft:player" && hitEntity?.typeId === "minecraft:player")) {
        damagingEntity.addTag("ws:combat");
        damagingEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are in combat with§r §6${hitEntity.name}!`);
        hitEntity.addTag("ws:combat");
        hitEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are in combat with§r §6${damagingEntity.name}!`);
        system.waitTicks(6000).then(() => {
            damagingEntity.removeTag("ws:combat");
            hitEntity.removeTag("ws:combat");
            hitEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are not anymore in combat!§r`);
            damagingEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are not anymore in combat!§r`);
        })
    }
})

is this code right

I dont have minecraft to test :p im srorry

[distant tulip]

damagingEntity.sendMessage this throw error iirc

need player instance

[prisma shard]

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({ hitEntity, damagingEntity }) => {
    if (!damagingEntity?.hasTag("ws:combat") && (damagingEntity instanceof Player && hitEntity instanceof Player)) {
        damagingEntity.addTag("ws:combat");
        damagingEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are in combat with§r §6${hitEntity.name}!`);
        hitEntity.addTag("ws:combat");
        hitEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are in combat with§r §6${damagingEntity.name}!`);
        system.waitTicks(6000).then(() => {
            damagingEntity.removeTag("ws:combat");
            hitEntity.removeTag("ws:combat");
            hitEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are not anymore in combat!§r`);
            damagingEntity.sendMessage(`§eYou are not anymore in combat!§r`);
        })
    }
})

u mean this

?

[prisma shard]

what error not have priviliges?

[gaunt salmon]

No Errors

No errors in [code](#1067535608660107284 message)

[fathom hemlock]

can somone tell what this error mean

[random flint]

Something on line 55 only wants string. But you feed it something else

[fathom hemlock]

ohh

oh yea runCommand

    const player = event.player;
    const entity = event.target;
    console.warn("test")
    if (!player || !entity) return;
    console.warn("test1")
    const command = entity.getDynamicProperty("command");
    console.warn("test2")
    event.cancel = true;
    console.warn("test3")
    system.run(() => {
    player.runCommand(`${command}`).then(() => {
        player.sendMessage(`§a✔ Command executed: §r${command}`);
    }).catch(() => {
        player.sendMessage(`§c✖ Failed to run command: §r${command}`);
    });
    })
});

what is wrong here

command is undefined but why

[random flint]

command is empty, or basically undefined. You didn't set the dynamicProperty

[fathom hemlock]

            const entity = player.dimension.spawnEntity(type, player.location);
            entity.nameTag = nameTag;
            entity.setDynamicProperty("command", command);
            player.sendMessage(`§a✔ Spawned ${type} with command: §r${command}`);
        } else {
            player.sendMessage(`§ePreview only. No entity spawned.`);
        }```

btw I get the message

[random flint]

Just do if (!command) return; and it'll hide the error 💀 but not fix the problem

[fathom hemlock]

yes

I want to fix the problem

and I see every second a new error

[valid ice]

What’s line 61

[random flint]

runCommand

from the error commandSyntaxError I guess its the runCommand

[fathom hemlock]

player.runCommand(`${command}`).then(() => {

[valid ice]

Console warn the dynamic property that you’re getting

Make sure it’s what you expect

[random flint]

Btw that .then() is unnecessary.

[valid ice]

Yeah

[fathom hemlock]

no to know if the command was found

[valid ice]

Run command does not return a promise

[fathom hemlock]

sometimes the command not found idk why

[random flint]

then() is for Promises. That's is usually what runCommandAync returns after execution. runCommand doesn't

[fathom hemlock]

ohhh

yea I change runCommandAsync to runCommand

[valid ice]

It doesn’t directly translate
