        if (spawnNow) {
            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.`);
        }
    });
}```

[random flint]

Maybe check on that code if command holds a value

[fathom hemlock]

wait wait

thats the command its a string

[random flint]

What the, you don't need to register dynamicProperty like that to use them anymore. That's not even the correct event for it.

[fathom hemlock]

ik

[random flint]

so, does spawning it works?

[fathom hemlock]

but worldInitialize is not working

[random flint]

worldInitialize is called worldLoad now

[past coyote]

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


function disableSprinting() {
    const players = world.getAllPlayers();


    for (const player of players) {
        if (player.isSprinting) {
            player.isSprinting = false;
        }
    }
}

system.runInterval(() => {
    disableSprinting();
}, 1);```

So isSprinting is readOnly?

[shy leaf]

sprinting is read only

[past coyote]

sigh

[shy leaf]

i actually tried to make force stop sprints but

nothing was good

[past coyote]

Blindness works, but it creates a distant fog (even when set to infinite)

[shy leaf]

and it doesnt stop already ongoing sprints either

[past coyote]

yeah

I can set the players hunger with effects, but I would need to do some math and such to keep them under 6 hunger

or can you manually set hunger with minecraft:hunger

in scripting

[shy leaf]

no

[random flint]

yes

[shy leaf]

we lack a lot of stuff for attributes

[random flint]

edit the player.json

[past coyote]

Yes or no 😭

ahhh

[shy leaf]

god damnit

[past coyote]

I could do that in my environment

What would I edit to make it so the player is always at hunger 6 or less, or set their max hunger to that

in order to disable sprinting

[shy leaf]

you could remove the entirety of exhaustion too

[past coyote]

its not hard to see what im trying to make haha

[shy leaf]

i noticed it

lol

[past coyote]

Can we directly set health btw?

[shy leaf]

yeag

theres health component for scripting

[past coyote]

thats great, that means I can make the food system accurately

[past coyote]

Theres a gamerule for it too

or wait only natural regen

[shy leaf]

only natural regen

[cinder shadow]

you can modify player.json to set all exhaustion values to 0

[past coyote]

Would that make them not sprint too?

[cinder shadow]

nope. I do this for my add-on since I removed saturation

"minecraft:exhaustion_values": {
"heal": 0,
"jump": 0,
"sprint_jump": 0,
"mine": 0,
"attack": 0,
"damage": 0,
"walk": 0,
"sprint": 0,
"swim": 0
},

well technically it's still there, but the player is always at max saturation since there is nothing that can reduce it

[shy leaf]

wait

if healing doesnt reduce saturation

would it just

keep healing

[cinder shadow]

you turn natural regeneration off

but yes

[past coyote]

If I add this, I wont have a "reliable" system for removing sprint by abusing the exhaustion system though

I was going to just spam effects on a player to lock them at a hunger level below that of which allows sprinting

because there is no other way 😭

Can we set player speed? I could do that I guess, but I cant remove the sprint FOV thing

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

const WALKING_SPEED = 0.1;

function capMovementSpeed() {
    const players = world.getAllPlayers();

    for (const player of players) {

        const movement = player.getComponent("minecraft:movement");

        if (movement) {

            if (player.isSprinting) {
                movement.setCurrentValue(WALKING_SPEED);
            } else {
                movement.setCurrentValue(WALKING_SPEED);
            }
        }
    }
}


system.runInterval(() => {
    capMovementSpeed();
}, 5);```

[random flint]

Give them hunger * 100 amplifier
And make them immune to starve damage

[past coyote]

DUH!

Pffft thats so obvious why didn't I think of that

[random flint]

Cancel consumable item in beforeEvent itemUse or smt so they have 0 chance to increase their hunger

[past coyote]

Thats what i'll do, then i'll query the health, and do the math for the end result (with a clamp for max health) and set the player health

unless we can just add health, idk. I have to check the method

      "minecraft:damage_sensor": {
        "triggers": {
          "on_damage": {
            "filters": {
              "any_of": [
                {
                  "test": "has_tag",
                  "subject": "self",
                  "value": "protect"
                },
                {
                  "test": "damage_type",
                  "operator": "==",
                  "value": "starvation"
                }
              ]
            },
            "deals_damage": false
          }
        }
      },```

Am I doing something wrong 😭

[random flint]

"test":"damage_type" to "test":"has_damage"

[past coyote]

oh

[random flint]

"value" to starve

[past coyote]

This works great! However when a player first joins, they can sprint for a moment until their hunger drains.

when using this:
/effect @s hunger infinite 255 true

[random flint]

Disable their input permission for a few seconds

[past coyote]

Lmao, I guess so

      "minecraft:damage_sensor": {
        "triggers": {
          "on_damage": {
            "filters": {
              "any_of": [
                {
                  "test": "has_tag",
                  "subject": "self",
                  "value": "protect"
                },
                {
                  "test": "has_damage",
                  "operator": "==",
                  "value": "starve"
                }
              ]
            },
            "deals_damage": false
          }
        }
      },```
Still results in damage :\

[random flint]

well, there's one like this:

"minecraft:damage_sensor": {
  "triggers": {
    "cause": "fall",
    "deals_damage": false
  }
}

[past coyote]

"minecraft:damage_sensor": {
    "triggers": [
        {
            "on_damage": {
                "filters": {
                    "test": "has_tag",
                    "subject": "self",
                    "value": "protect"
                }
            },
            "deals_damage": false
        },
        {
            "cause": "starve",
            "deals_damage": false
        }
    ]
},```

Nope :\

[wary edge]

This is more of #1067869022273667152 but if youre on format 1.21.40 or higher its "no" not false

[past coyote]

yeah thats a really great decision

[fathom hemlock]

why is this not working: const distance = player.location.distanceTo(entity.location);

Error: typeerror not a function

[random flint]

.distanceTo() isn't a thing

You need to make it yourself

[fathom hemlock]

okay

[random flint]

player.location might be Vector3, but it's just an x y z interface

No unique method you could do there

[fathom hemlock]

should work

const dy = player.location.y - entity.location.y;
const dz = player.location.z - entity.location.z;
const distance = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy + dz * dz);

[nova flame]

anyone wanna help me out in vc with actionformdata

im new to js

[thorn flicker]

@wanton cedar
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/scripting-intro

world.afterEvents.dataDrivenEntityTrigger.subscribe(data => {
    const entity = data.entity;
    const id = data.eventId;
    const mods = data.getModifiers();

    if (id === 'example:event') {
    // code
    }
})

[fathom hemlock]

umm I need hekp

why is this just working for me not for other player (or mobile players idk)

    const player = event.player;
    const entity = event.target;
  
    if (!(player instanceof Player)) return;
    if (!entity || !entity.id) return;
  
    const tagMap = getTagMap(player);
    const entry = tagMap[entity.id];
    if (!entry) return;
  
    const finalTag = `${entry.tag}`;
  
    system.run(() => {
      if (player.hasTag(finalTag)) player.removeTag(finalTag);
      player.addTag(finalTag);
      player.sendMessage(`§aYou got tag: §e${finalTag}`);
    });
  
    event.cancel = true;
  });

[thorn flicker]

not about the problem you are having, but you dont need if (!(player instanceof Player)) return; because it'll always be a player.

[fathom hemlock]

ok but why is just one player getting the tag

[nova flame]

anyone wanna help me out in vc 😉

[humble lintel]

what is it about

[valid ice]

Why not just send your problem here

[fathom hemlock]

can someone help me pls

I don't get any errors in the logs

[nova flame]

im very new to js and im tryna make a ui

ui is done but making the buttons work is the part im stuck on

[fathom hemlock]

    new ActionFormData()
    .title("§l§aTest")
    .body("§7This is a test.")
    .button("§aTest Button 1")
    .button("§cTest Button 2")
    .show(player)
    .then(res => {
        if (res.canceled) return;
        if (res.selection === 0) player.sendMessage("§aYou clicked Test Button 1!");
        if (res.selection === 1) player.sendMessage("§cYou clicked Test Button 2!");
    });
}```

or

[nova flame]

.

[thorn flicker]

yeah, and hes showing you how to make the buttons do things

[fathom hemlock]

.title("test")
.button("test")```

[nova flame]

ik how to make them do things but like im stuck on the thing i need it to do

[thorn flicker]

"buttons work"

[fathom hemlock]

.button("name", "texture")

[thorn flicker]

which is?

[nova flame]

sell all items in your inventory based on prices in a map

[valid ice]

loop through inventory -> get item -> check against map -> if item exists, clear slot and total = total + item amount * sell price

[fathom hemlock]

btw if u want a 1:1 copy of ur inv then use: https://github.com/Herobrine643928/Chest-UI

just looks good

[nova flame]

okay

[gilded shadow]

that is not minecraft:clock

[humble lintel]

Does anyone know why my interact event activates multiple times?

nothing's wrong with my script it just activates multiple times

[distant tulip]

if(!event.isFirstEvent) return

[humble lintel]

ohh okay than k you

i added a debounce lol

that's def a better solution

[thorn ocean]

Has anyone used the place feature command in scripts?

[wary edge]

It does not work.

Use the native method instead.

[thorn ocean]

How do I do that?

Are there any docs on this?

[dim tusk]

what's the purpose of !(player instanceof Player)? It's not needed, same goes to !entity || !entity.id...

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0-beta.1.21.80-preview.27/classes/Dimension.html#placefeature

[dim tusk]

Pls double check if player has anything stored in getTagMap()

[thorn ocean]

Thanks. I was struggling to find something like this lol.

[echo tinsel]

Still looking for setting up realtime seasonal loot drop if anyone has any experience in setting up real time events

[dim tusk]

use new Date()

if you meant like rea-life time.

[echo tinsel]

I had tried that. I'm not on PC right now to grab my code.
I do mean real time yes.

I had got it where console log was detecting whether it was the actual date. And had the seasons set up, but the drops weren't doing anything and I wasn't getting errors.

It's the event part I'm struggling with

[dim tusk]

Wdym by seasonal? Like there's a holiday in real life?

Or your own made season?

[echo tinsel]

Yeah 4 holidays 2 weeks(1 before one after)of mobs having a low chance of dropping loot for that specific holiday

Eventually more but just 4 for now

Easter, 4th of July, Halloween and christmas

So technically each season

[dim tusk]

Ahh, we need to check if the current time of player is a real time holiday? Just confirmation

[echo tinsel]

Yes

Well 1 week before, holiday and 1 after. Not the exact date

[dim tusk]

function getDateRangeInfo(currentDate, targetDate, range) {
  const current = new Date(currentDate);
  const target = new Date(targetDate);
  
  current.setFullYear(2000);
  target.setFullYear(2000);
  
  const timeDiff = current.getTime() - target.getTime();

    hours: (range.hours || 0) * 1000 * 60 * 60,
    days: (range.days || 0) * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24,
    weeks: (range.weeks || 0) * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7,
    months: (range.months || 0) * 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 30
  };
  
  const totalRangeMs = Object.values(rangesInMs).reduce((sum, val) => sum + val, 0);
  
  const timeUnits = {
    days: Math.floor(absTimeDiff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)),
    hours: Math.floor((absTimeDiff % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60)),

console.error('Today info:', JSON.stringify(getDateRangeInfo(now, now, {days: 3})));```

I didn't include years since who would wait a whole year in Minecraft for this if in the end they can just delete the addon and wait for it to be 1 week of that time.

best thing I made so far...

[lyric kestrel]

WOOOOOO

I'M ALMOST FINISHED MY WEDGE BLOCKS

It's mostly powered by JS, with permutations ofc needed to change the textures of the block itself

ah, don't mind the audio

Was listening to an NBC clip

[lyric kestrel]

The video is mainly showing off how when you click on the block with a different item, you get the previous item used, back

That took a lot of work to just figure out

[echo tinsel]

I'll try this in a minute.
The add on drops stuff year round. There's just exclusive stuff during the holiday

[untold magnet]

uh, probably a stupid question but, is it possible to detect the player saturation?

[echo tinsel]

Thank you. I'll also share my code, I think I have the date stuff figured out. It's the rest of it I'm struggling with.

[echo tinsel]

I absolutely love seeing happy wiggles on Minecraft. it never gets old

[lyric kestrel]

Haha, those were frustated wiggles xD

[echo tinsel]

Whatttt

They seem happy lmao

Fitting your pfp is a dog 😂

[lyric kestrel]

Since everytime you clicked it with the same block, it gives you another on the same block, which isn't supposed to happen

[lyric kestrel]

lol

[dim tusk]

No...

[lyric kestrel]

For example, the last part in the video

And I got a texture name wrong too xD

[echo tinsel]

I honestly did not see the number and thought you were in creative and happy it didn't take the block since it already was copper

[lyric kestrel]

For the waxed copper variant

[lyric kestrel]

ah haha

[dim tusk]

Sorry for late but the months is index 0, so January=0 and December=11

[echo tinsel]

No worries I just got home and had only just responded.

I have this set up in a case situation

So I'll give this a shot

[untold magnet]

damn, with that being said, i will have to detect it all by myself, like detecting everything that could make the player saturation goes down faster and detect the vanilla food saturation values

in general, so much work

[dim tusk]

why? Just create new system...

It's better than checking everything...

[untold magnet]

new saturation system? like the player hunger will never go down until the saturation is 0?

[echo tinsel]

Also by this logic why would you even bother downloading it if youd just delete the add on after each season? It's not like you'd keep the drops they'd go too

[untold magnet]

fr.

[dim tusk]

people who are just for hype

Sorry what I meant I didn't include the year since every holiday happens every year so I don't think I need to put years

Unless you needed it, I can just do it...

[echo tinsel]

I'll just check it first. As I said I do have a date system that was detecting that date. But I didn't know how to set up the event after to get the entities to drop the items during that time.

[dim tusk]

i mean, new hunger system...

[untold magnet]

i know, the player hunger will never get lower until the new custom saturation is 0.

[dim tusk]

Expected output... Obviously the time would vary...

{"isInRange":false,"timeDifference":{"milliseconds":0,"days":0,"hours":0,"minutes":0,"seconds":0},"direction":"before","isPast":false,"isFuture":true,"isSame":false}```

[echo tinsel]

did you remove the time you had there lol

[echo tinsel]

[Scripting][error]-Christmas info: {"isInRange":false,"timeDifference":{"milliseconds":22295412178,"days":258,"hours":1,"minutes":10,"seconds":12},"direction":"before","isPast":false,"isFuture":true,"isSame":false}

ye

awesome!

christmas is so close, im disgusted lol

Thank you! could you perhaps help me set up the entities having a 1 percent chance of dropping the loot(each season has its own) on death? With 4 entities being able to drop it

[dim tusk]

use entityDie and use the function to check if the current date is in range or it's Christmas BLA BLA bla

I added, as many as possible datas so it's not useless on just Boolean.

[echo tinsel]

thank you!!

[dim tusk]

you know how to grab those datas right?```js
function getDateRangeInfo() { ... }

const { isInRange, direction } = getDateRangeInfo(date, date, { days: 3 });

if (isInRange) { ... } else { ... }```

[fallen hearth]

Is it possible to launch a projectile with some event?

[dim tusk]

Entity.triggerEvent('<name>')?

[echo tinsel]

This is what I was saying I needed help with. Actually turning the holiday into the event. All I had gotten was console logs confirming the dates were working on mine

Thank you!

[fallen hearth]

I wanted to use a method to summon a projectile

minecraft:spawn_entity is very boring

[dim tusk]

const mob = Dimension.spawnEntity();
mob.triggerEvent();

const projectile = mob.getComponent('projectile');

projectile.shoot();
projectile.owner = Entity;```

it's still the same.

[dim tusk]

lol

[echo tinsel]

I don't know how to use the fact that it confirms the date as true to then make the mobs drop

[dim tusk]

const { isInRange, direction } = getDateRangeInfo(date, date, { days: 3 });

if (isInRange) { ... } else { ... }
if (direction === 'before') { ... } else { ... }```

[echo tinsel]

i would use weeks: 2 for the event to last 2 weeks right?

[dim tusk]

const { isInRange, direction } = getDateRangeInfo(date, date, { weeks: 2 });

if (isInRange && direction === 'same') { ... }```

[echo tinsel]

so yes lol thank you

wait, why was it before in the last one?

sorry im trying to understand howto read it as well

or understand why

[dim tusk]

That was a sample lol

[echo tinsel]

i think i see, it would check if 3 days before?
i get it was a sample i was asking what that meant.

[dim tusk]

don't worry you don't really need to understand anything except for what it return...

[dim tusk]

• isInRange: A boolean that is true if the two dates are within the specified time range (e.g., within 2 weeks). It checks both before and after the target date by default.
• direction: A string indicating whether currentDate is 'before', 'after', or 'same' as targetDate.
• isPast: true if currentDate is after targetDate.
• isFuture: true if currentDate is before targetDate.
• isSame: true if both dates are identical.
• timeDifference: An object showing the difference in days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

[echo tinsel]

thank you

i kind of did need to understand since this whole time i was asking about setting up the return because i had the dates already returning as true but didnt know how to grab them and then turn that into my event. but you just rewrote dates and i didnt understand the set up. And if i ever wanted to add to it, i have to understand why/ and what

[echo tinsel]

thank you so much!

[dim tusk]

ohh lol yeah, these are the description, just read them... For grabbing just do the sample I gave ```js
const { isInRange, direction, isPast, isFuture, isSame, timeDifference } = getDateRangeInfo();

const { milliseconds, days, hours, minutes, seconds } = timeDifference;```

[woven loom]

why is player join deprecated??

[wary edge]

It isn't.

[tropic geyser]

good cuz i just released it says everything is deprecated 😢

is it possible to remove the players hud in scripting like they cant see it like the equivalent to f1

[wary edge]

is it a component?

[wary edge]

No scripting.

Is there a way to use scripts to diversify generating structures? As in check for more things

[wary edge]

Such as?

[toxic ore]

Just any way to incorperate scripts into structure generation so I can make more stuff possible (I am new to this and come from java)

[wary edge]

Then no.

What functionality is missing?

[toxic ore]

Well I'd like to check "conditions" on more than a single block where the structure will be spawned at, currently I use "grounded" and that works fine but I also don't know how to incorperate supported feature rules from the bedrock dev wiki into my feature rules for the structure I spawn so I am also looking for the limitations in general to world generation of structures

[dusky flicker]

how could i implement cables? just a line which lists blocks of the same id next to each others, and when i place / break a block it modificates the line.
I thought in well, recursion, but its O(M^N) M is the sides of the block, my idea is only xz axis so its O(4^N) thats heavy as hell. Do anybody know some way better? space does not matter by now later i can improve it

Searching on web i ended with union find, must implement it tomorrow, but if anyone has some idea, ill appreciate

[random flint]

That sounds complicated.

What is 'line'? Is it equal to a network?

[dusky flicker]

something like minecraft redstone, nothing different from that

except the fact i dont pretend making it go up or down

[random flint]

So nothing large? Just two blocks that need visual change for showing connection?

[dusky flicker]

actually, not the visual, but the state, its simply to set a stste to "has_energy" or not. No limits of energy, the energy does not decrease, but when i break some, it tries to recalculate and set to without energy to the ones that aint connected to any energy source

in case the state is simply a number from 0 to 16, 0 as a C boolean is false, so its got no energy, any other just mean the energy intensity from the source

but then if i break some and the new "line" is not connected to any source, i must set the energy to 0

to implement the source to energize everything was actually simple, just used recursion and runJob with the O(4^N) implementation i told before, the problem is to de-energize(sorry for bad english, its been a while since i talk in english)

[random flint]

It's fine. Since there's energy intensity, you could use the broken cable's energy intensity to guess which adjacent cable needs to be checked.

Well, technically you can skip the check, and immediately set all those cables with lower energy intensity to 0.

[dusky flicker]

that's a good idea, but it aint gonna decrease. The energy is constant and can only be increased. Just imagine a flash of light. It aint decrease its intensity, but can actually get more if another flash of light closer to you appears

if its too complicated to implement what im trying to, imma implement it this way

[random flint]

I see, then you could make a new one solely to track its distance from a nearby source.

[brittle marten]

hey sorry to jump in the conversation, is it possible to get the attack value specified in a entities .json file similar to the getComponent('health').currentValue

[dusky flicker]

i've faced worse stuff before, imma try to implement something later and anything i come here to show. I hope that the Union Find data structure work, if not imma try to find another one

[random flint]

Can't.

You could aproximately guess from the damage they dealt, but still required a lot of work to anticipate multiple factors that increase the damage.

[brittle marten]

planned on doing something like guessing it, but i was wanting to do it to make a custom health system just alot of factors like entities that can oneshot the player basically

i also dont want to use some basic health boost effect thats why lol

[random flint]

Understandable, the vanilla health limit has a cap anyway. A custom one would be fancy, but won't guarantee compatibility with a third-party addon

[brittle marten]

yeahhhhh

its also mostly for smaller value like 1 percent lol

the only other way i can do something like that from what im thinking is to make a default repository of entities that can be updated via in game but i would like to not do that because of issues like having to define each single one lol

[round bone]

#1067869232395735130

also, you can't test it?

[marsh pebble]

not at home sadly

[prisma shard]

@humble lintel can you send your VSCode extensions you have, please

[shy leaf]

waiting for an option to keep velocity on applyKnockback...

[shy leaf]

i wonder if giving entity velocity to applyKnockback method is good enough for "keeping velocity"

[distant tulip]

applyKnockback don't effect velocity afaik

[shy leaf]

it does

try applyKnockback with all zero on entityHurt event

[shy leaf]

but well, turns out, adding velocity value to applyKnockback is good enough

for vertical strength, at least

[fathom hemlock]

ohhh

[distant tulip]

onPlace don't have a player reference?
nvm, there is beforeOnPlayerPlace

[dusky flicker]

when i used to write addons on vscode i had these

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BlockceptionLtd.blockceptionvscodeminecraftbedrockdevelopmentextension
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=destruc7i0n.vscode-bedrock-definitions
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JannisX11.snowstorm
i dont remember that well but i think the first 2 ones only work when inside com.Mojang folder

[prisma shard]

i have these, i askeed him bcoz he has some cool theme

and i liked it

and asked which theme he uses

[shy leaf]

does DataDrivenEntityTriggerAfterEvent fire when the event is applied or triggerEvent() is fired?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[shy leaf]

[fathom hemlock]

yoo how do I do a libary?

I think with typescript and javascript(js ofc)

like waterdb,prismarinedb or herobrinws chestui

[fathom hemlock]

how do I make custom dash commands

[wary edge]

Dash?

You mean like, -home

[distant tulip]

Dash move (push forward)

[prisma shard]

applyKnockback?

and for making custom commands you use chatSend event

[wary edge]

The presence of custom indicates there is a vanilla dash command.

Hence why I asked OP to clarify.

[distant tulip]

wait, nvm

[prisma shard]

what Minato you were right, why delete your messege

[distant tulip]

nope, i was wrong, lol

idk

[prisma shard]

Triggering a dash with commands? just weird
Why not a custom item

[distant tulip]

i just assumed he meant dash move
hence why my brain ignored the command bit

[prisma shard]

OH WAIT

his way of asking the question sounds weird to my mind 😭

I also realize

Dash means '/'

[wary edge]

That's why I asked OP to clarify.

[prisma shard]

custom dash ( / ) commands

[random flint]

that's slash

[prisma shard]

hmm some ppl say dash idk

[random flint]

According to google, this is dash: (—)

[prisma shard]

NVM

that's the horizontal line symbol

😭 he made us confuse

okay he just meant
-command

[wary edge]

Let's not assume anymore and just wait for OP to clarify please.

[dusky flicker]

is it possible to execute something right after runJob execution?

it seems to run on another thread or in parallel idk

[prisma shard]

yes

why not

[dusky flicker]

because it seems to be async

and i dont know how to make the code block until it finishes

[prisma shard]

nah like you can only run something after the work of runJob finishes

not while something is happening ig?

okay i just dont know

[dusky flicker]

export function* set_energized(block: Block, level: number): Generator<void, void, any> {
  console.warn(OtsukiTrail.network.is_vec3_cable(block.location));
  ...
}``` 
```ts
...
onPlayerDestroy(arg0: BlockComponentPlayerDestroyEvent): void {
    system.runJob(set_energized(arg0.block, 0));
    console.warn("eita");
  }
...

im sure it's not sync

[prisma shard]

wait where do you live

like your country

[fallow minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/fake-sleep-gif-21126571

kind of odd to ask

[dusky flicker]

im brazilian. why do you ask?

[valid ice]

It’s not

[prisma shard]

ah- the language you put in console.warn() i though your my country

[prisma shard]

does runJob return a promise?

If that returns a promise, you can do
.then(() => {})
annd that can fix the thing

[fallow minnow]

i think it returns a pinky promise

[fallow minnow]

is that ur vs code

[dusky flicker]

just a number which is the id of the running job

[dusky flicker]

neovide

[fallow minnow]

oh

have u ever used vs code

[dusky flicker]

yeah, i used to, but i switched and actually prefer it now

[fallow minnow]

im havving issues with typescript code intellisense being super slow

[valid ice]

Bro tryna rep it like it doesn’t run slow as shit for him 😭

[fallow minnow]

vs code lowkey buns

its literally only typescript

like NOTHING else

im gnna check javascript

yep only typescript

what the freak

[dusky flicker]

try downloading minimal lsp for it

i only have 3 stuff for ts on my configs

[fallow minnow]

i restarted my pc like a month ago so i barely have anything on vs code

uuid generator, live server, blockception, git and snowstorm

wherer do i get minimal lsp from

[dusky flicker]

as you use vscode it probably have installed ts or js by default

[honest spear]

language server is build in

but nodeJS is not installed or any other runtimes

there is node maybe running under the vscode but not usable

[fallow minnow]

its just so weird

i disabled git temporarily and its not that

all extensions as well

[dusky flicker]

bros gonna start using grep only

[fallow minnow]

and like my pc is newwwww

its new to thiss

3 months old

[honest spear]

does mattern how new the PC is

[fallow minnow]

true

but this never happened on my poopy laptop

[honest spear]

i might be out of context what exactly?

[dusky flicker]

how what about ram? how much does the computer have?

[fallow minnow]

my code intellisense is super slow on typescript

[fallow minnow]

16gb of ddr5

but it just started happening 2 days ago

[honest spear]

damn, how slow? Do you have like vid?

[fallow minnow]

it takes around 5-10 seconds for errors to pop up/go away or to load types

[honest spear]

the startup is alyways slwoer then its ok when you wait it loads

of not then you better reinstall VSCode or something

[fallow minnow]

tried that too 😭

[honest spear]

hmmmm

[gilded shadow]

is there a way to force close chat, for like sending form menu to player

[honest spear]

Send me a screen shot in general and let me check if there is something sus or not

[fallow minnow]

wait im dumb

so the typings are sometimes fast

most of the time slow

and then u see the error pop up like 5 whole seconds after

[honest spear]

How big is your workspace?

[fallow minnow]

not big at all

[honest spear]

Do you have any other projects related to nodeJS?

nodeJS packages are heavy asf

[fallow minnow]

nope

[honest spear]

try loading only that folder with single proejct so we are sure its not related to it

[dusky flicker]

what packages did you install? when i work with rust it starts slowing down when i have 100+ dependencies

[fallow minnow]

just the minecraft ones

[dusky flicker]

and as we are talking about the node modules rabbit hole, its not unusual to js require 300+ dependencies only for ts

[fallow minnow]

minecraft ui and whatever the other one is

and when i remove that line thats error'd the error stays there for like 5 more seconds 😭

[honest spear]

yea really weird

create folder on desktop and add TS file there and thry how fast it would be

[fallow minnow]

oh my okay

its the project thats slowing it down @valid ice

grr

doesn't make sense though

[dusky flicker]

what do you have to slow it down that much

[honest spear]

it might load parent folders that could have crazy numbers of libs installations

there could be option to disable some kind of this stuff

[fallow minnow]

actually we do have some constant files that have like 8k lines in them just for item data

[honest spear]

bruh

i thought so

[honest spear]

convert them to JS and add .d.ts

[fallow minnow]

huh

[honest spear]

it would prevent loading this file

[fallow minnow]

but wym convert to js then turn into d.ts

it just breaks it

[honest spear]

I don't know how the data looks like so i can't really help you more

[slow walrus]

... don't do that...

not how it works anyway

[fallow minnow]

i just need something that works 😭

[slow walrus]

have you tried opening the folder that the project is in instead of a single file?

[fallow minnow]

yes

actually its not even that file

i deleted it and the issue still occurs

[slow walrus]

are you using global typings?

[fallow minnow]

no

[slow walrus]

and your task manager performance is fine?

[fallow minnow]

yes

[dusky flicker]

do you guys know how to implement hashmap? i need to map an object to another but from js maps based on the pointers

[fallow minnow]

7% cpu 70% ram

[slow walrus]

how much ram do you have

[fallow minnow]

16gb

[slow walrus]

hmm

that's pretty weird

[fallow minnow]

yeah its very weird

its only that project too

like i did what con master said and created a ts file in a folder on my desktop and its fine

code intellisense is fine

[slow walrus]

is it on a different drive?

[fallow minnow]

nope

only have 1 ssd

gen 4 1tb

[valid ice]

Maybe try deleting the project and redownloading it from GitHub?

[fallow minnow]

could yeah

[slow walrus]

yeah dont think itd make any difference anyway

[fallow minnow]

re clone

[slow walrus]

eh that's pointless

[valid ice]

Just to see

[slow walrus]

when did you open the project for the first time?

[fallow minnow]

uhh like a few months ago

i guess

actually basically a month ago since i restarted my pc

[slow walrus]

on this pc?

[fallow minnow]

yes

[prisma shard]

the conversation is going cool watcthing

lol

[slow walrus]

and it's only suddenly doing this?

[fallow minnow]

yes it started happening 2 days ago

[slow walrus]

you tried just like restarting ur pc?

[fallow minnow]

yes

re downloading vs code

its also none of my extensions i tested

[prisma shard]

at this point just reinstall windows

lol jk

[fallow minnow]

i am using ES2020 could that be a reason?

[prisma shard]

what is a ES

[fallow minnow]

actually i dont think it would matter

its the compiler module

[honest spear]

it is

it does works like that TSS loads only declaration file if its available

[thorn flicker]

ECMAScript

versioned by year

[gilded shadow]

how does @gaunt salmon works?

[unique acorn]

1. send a javascript or typescript file OR send code wrapped in three backquotes with js/ts in them (like in the image show)
2. right click on your message or long hold on it.
3. click apps then choose Debug script
4. choose version of api
5. wait

[gilded shadow]

thanks

[fathom hemlock]

how?!

how do I make / commands (I found a way to make dash commands)

[thorn flicker]

in preview, you can register custom commands

no need for chatsend

[fathom hemlock]

how

[somber cedar]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server.CustomCommandRegistry.html

[thorn flicker]

was trying to find the video

[fathom hemlock]

thx

[humble lintel]

sure

then npm intellisense

[fathom hemlock]

can someone install mc preview cuz I get 1000 Erros

*Errors

idk If I just get thatr

[humble lintel]

can I get feedback from anyone

I was just wondering if I should make right click to harvest similar to vein mine or just harvest one by one

[random flint]

right click what

[humble lintel]

right click to harvest

[random flint]

vein mine should be optional ig. Maybe button combination like crouch + right click

[humble lintel]

okay done

maybe ill post in mcpedl

[random flint]

custom crops compatibility?

[humble lintel]

if they have growth state

[nova flame]

anyone wanna help me out in vc 😇

[humble lintel]

@gega do u think i should insert the item directly into the player's inventory or no

[thorn flicker]

the harvest?

[humble lintel]

yes

[thorn flicker]

maybe make that optional as well.

[humble lintel]

okay

[thorn flicker]

more optional stuff the better honestly, player's opinions may differ ofc

[humble lintel]

that's true

[humble lintel]

I made it so that when you right click the air it while crouching, it will switch them odes

[tidal wasp]

e.permutationToPlace = permutationToPlace.withState(BlockPermutation.resolve(playerEquipment.typeId,
{
[horzhalf]: horzState,
[blockStateHalf]: state
}));
return;

so this is giving me the error of expect 2 arguments but only recieving one

and the line that it says the error is at is the }));

which is weird

also here are what the variables are

const blockStateHalf = 'minecraft:cardinal_direction';
const horzhalf = 'cmd:horizontal_half'
const state = blockToCheck.permutation.getState(blockStateHalf);
const horzState = blockToCheck.permutation.getState(horzhalf)

[full idol]

If world.beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe((event) => { is still in the beta APIs what's the correct way currently?

[vast rune]

What do you mean by correct?

[wary edge]

Entirely depends, vanilla or custom block?

[full idol]

Sorry! So many things I'm not accounting for... Just general players placing vanilla blocks. I'm working on a basic claims plugin

[wary edge]

You'll need to use BetaAPIs or PlayerInteractWithBlock(this should work?)

[unique acorn]

if you want to cancel block being placed without before event you can just set the block to air using after even

[full idol]

Ah right, so interact with a block fires when placing? Is that the block being placed on or the block itself?

[full idol]

I could but same issue, how do I detect the placement?

[unique acorn]

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscrbe()
the after event isn't in beta

[fast lark]

[index.js] ran with error: [TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined at <anonymous> (chat.js:13)

there are some problem with chat send in 1.18.0?

[unique acorn]

chat send is in beta only

[fast lark]

oh

so 2.0.0-beta?

[unique acorn]

yep

[fast lark]

k

[distant tulip]

block placer component don't trigger custom component?

[wary edge]

It doesnt trigger beforePlace.

Known issue.

[distant tulip]

yikes

hmm

[full idol]

Does 2.0.0-beta mean it needs the experiment "beta APIs" enabled in the world?

[wary edge]

Yes,

i have a qus now if the player died but he have a keepOnDeath item do i can get this item using script or the system will rejecte because the player is died and there is not inventory to get?

[fallow minnow]

does anyone know the max length a player/entity id can be?

like entity.id or player.id

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1360403533744312564

[fallow minnow]

I FOUND OUT WHY

for SOME reason there was like duplicated node modules in 3 or 4 folders

so i had like double the node modules in random folders and it was looping a whole bunch

[valid ice]

Entity die event can get inventory still

[dim tusk]

I dont think there's exactly since the IDs are unique Soo someone can be long someone short.

[fallow minnow]

is there any way i can edit padEnd to notice that unicode like this "\uE121" is 3 characters instead of 1?

[dim tusk]

No, make a custom function

padEnd() will take account the length even if its a whole Unicode.

[fallow minnow]

but it takes account the length of § which is 2 instead of 1

[dim tusk]

Sorry I phrased it wrong.

[dim tusk]

That's what I don't know but someone had that same problem before....

[fallow minnow]

so weird

both have a length of 1

but neither are truly 1

redundancy.

don't directly do the getDateRangeInfo()

[echo tinsel]

you want me to do that everytime for each season?

how is what i have right now, including all seasons not shorter

if (christmas.isInRange) {
deadEntityDimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:apple', 1), deadEntityLocation);

id do this part for each season?

[dim tusk]

What I can say here is redundancy, readability is not, why use eventData if you're already made a variable deadEntityDimension??

[humble lintel]

does anyone know why /particle is not working

[dim tusk]

huh?

[humble lintel]

i dont see any particles

am i cooked

when i do /particle i xdont see them

i have a much harder time tryingto read what you wrote

[dim tusk]

Dimension.spawnParticle() or Player.spawnParticle()...

[humble lintel]

uh yes

that's how you sapwn the,

them

[dim tusk]

Then don't use it, just make a variable for Christmas.

[echo tinsel]

i was just trying to add the exclusion of entities with the inanimate tag to what i already had

what?

[humble lintel]

okay wait some work

[dim tusk]

I repeated this twice... Don't do this...js case (getDateRangeInfo().isInRange) {} do thisjs const christmas = getDateRangeInfo(); case (christmas.isInRange) {}

also pls code block when sending scripts.

[echo tinsel]

an i repeated all im looking for is how to add the exclusion of Inanimate entities to the dead entities

I guess you didn't actually read the script I gave huh?

damn.

[echo tinsel]

i did but like i said. to me its hard to read

[dim tusk]

anyways... Again. js const family = deadEntity.getComponent('type_family'); if (family.hasTypeFamily('inanimate')) {}

damn.... Looks like I need to stop sending scripts.

[echo tinsel]

thats really black and white thought, but thank you for your help !

Now, don't tell me it's still hard to read because you might need glasses now lol....

[echo tinsel]

that is easier, so if i was going to add the rest of the seasons id do this for each one right?

  if (Math.random() <= 0.01) {
    if (christmas.isInRange) {
      deadEntityDimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:apple', 1), deadEntityLocation);
    } else if (newYear.isInRange) {
      deadEntityDimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:apple', 1), deadEntityLocation);
    }
  }
});

[echo tinsel]

  if (deadEntity.typeId === 'minecraft:player' 

what is that part saying?

[echo tinsel]

thank you !

[dim tusk]

huh? if the typeid is player or item or has family inanimate stop the code so they would be ignored by script

[glacial widget]

How do i check if a player killed a someone using a ender crystal?

[echo tinsel]

thank you for explaining

[dim tusk]

try checking the damagingEntity typeId.

[glacial widget]

and "minecraft:ender_crystal" ?

[dim tusk]

yeah, just double check in in game...

[valid ice]

Well that's new

[humble lintel]

yeah particles are being weird

even custom particles

[dim tusk]

Ohh no your mc is broki...

[humble lintel]

yep might be

[dim tusk]

I tried in my mc both preview and stable and it works fine...

[humble lintel]

can u spawn totem_particle?

like my normal particles are okay

i cant spawn particles tho that's the issue

bruh no way

it was a resource pack

[dim tusk]

yeah... The explosion thingy?

[humble lintel]

better weather

[humble lintel]

yes i see them now

idk how better weather resource pack ruins all the other particles

[dim tusk]

Like no particles spawn?

Check if there's material folder

[humble lintel]

yes no particles spawned

its oaky i dont need it anyways

[dim tusk]

Just curious is there a material folder??

[humble lintel]

nah they just made the particles texture transparent lol

[tidal wasp]

Help

[dim tusk]

You meant this?js e.permutationToPlace = BlockPermutation.resolve(playerEquipment.typeId, { [horzhalf]: horzState, [blockStateHalf]: state }); return;

[tidal wasp]

Huh thanks

[dim tusk]

using with state and BlockPermutstion instance isn't valid. I meant combining them.

[tidal wasp]

Ok good to know

[echo tinsel]

{ weeks: 2 } How do i format the after part?

its doing just before

[dim tusk]

like how you did isInRange, instead we use direction === 'after'

  const christmas = getDateRangeInfo(now, holiDates.christmas, { weeks: 2 });

  if (Math.random() <= 0.01) {
    if (christmas.direction === 'after') {
      // ...
    }
  }
});

Or that wasn't your question?

Also, didn't I sent it yesterday the description of datas it returns?

[echo tinsel]

thats what i was just doing, looking for that

lol

damn ok, so i have to do the whole if, else if. ect again for the after week

[dim tusk]

• isInRange: A boolean that is true if the two dates are within the specified time range (e.g., within 2 weeks).
• direction: A string indicating whether currentDate is 'before', 'after', or 'same' as targetDate.
• isPast: true if currentDate is after targetDate.
• isFuture: true if currentDate is before targetDate.
• isSame: true if both dates are identical.
• timeDifference: An object showing the difference in days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

[echo tinsel]

the isInRange says it checks both? but it doesnt do both?

[dim tusk]

sorry, that description was confusing the way isInRange works it uses before and after date and compare BLA BLA.

[echo tinsel]

ohhh

ok

[tidal wasp]

Also any way to make this redstone script more efficient

[dim tusk]

Make a post.

[tidal wasp]

Ok

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1360443203165229228

tada

[echo tinsel]

thank you, i was doing weird things tryin to figure it out and it was definately not that lmao

i was like week:1><week:1

[dim tusk]

Lol no you just put values there for range how far before it counted, I already made your life easier with those properties.

[echo tinsel]

i know that now lol, i got the afters in there now.

and that you did, thank you very much!!

[slow walrus]

JS uses UTF16 characters, so that unicode fits into one character, however, minecraft sotres stuff as UTF8 characters, since it's written in C++, and when you convert that utf16 character to utf8, it becomes a 3 character sequence.

i have a one liner which can get the right size after its converted

gimme a sec

const utf8_size = char_code <= 0x7f ? 1 : char_code <= 0x7ff ? 2 : char_code <= 0xffff ? 3 : 4```

[echo tinsel]

So I changed Halloween time to 3 12. And I just realized the log is saying it's 3 hrs past 3 12

Where I'm at it's still april 11th. Where is it pulling the time from?

[dim tusk]

wait, you used Date.now()?

use new Date()

[echo tinsel]

This is just in the script you gave me yesterday. The holiday script. It's the console log

Also using the drop script you gave me now too so if it says date.now it's because that's what you sent me lol

But nothing does day date.now

[dim tusk]

sometimes I forget things lol since I'm doing other stuff

try using new Date...

[echo tinsel]

Oh wait. One does say date.now

But regardless that is not what it sending the log

It's the console.error log you set up in the holiday. That is a different script and that is new Date. Already

I changed the holiday date for Halloween to 3, 12 to check something and the log came back at whatever time zone it has its already the 13th.

[dim tusk]

you're starting to make me confuse...

[echo tinsel]

This

const holiDates = {
    easter: new Date(2000, 3, 20),
    festive: new Date(2000, 3, 6),
    halloween: new Date(2000, 3, 12),
    summer: new Date(2000, 7, 4),
};

const now = new Date();

console.error('Christmas info:', JSON.stringify(getDateRangeInfo(now, holiDates.festive, { days: 1 })));
console.error('Halloween info:', JSON.stringify(getDateRangeInfo(now, holiDates.halloween, { weeks: 2 })));
console.error('Today info:', JSON.stringify(getDateRangeInfo(now, now, { days: 3 })));

[dim tusk]

I used the original one and it works fine. With me...

[echo tinsel]

there is nothing wrong with it, other then im trying to figure out what timezone the game is using lmao

because whatever that time zone is, its the 13th already

its not going off my timezone

[dim tusk]

date is in +0 iirc

Wait lemme research again.

[dim tusk]

hey can you log something.js console.log(new Date().getTimezoneOffset());

[echo tinsel]

yes cause now im confused lol,

[echo tinsel]

maybe im missing something cause that didnt send anything back

[dim tusk]

change log to error mbmb

[echo tinsel]

all good, i should of seen it as well. literally put it under 3 of them that say error

[echo tinsel]

says 0

ill just set all my holidays to 2 days after the holiday then

im not trying to add a config for people to set their offset

[humble lintel]

@thorn flicker are these settings enough?

[gilded shadow]

is the video just a black screen or is it jus me

[humble lintel]

uhh i see the,

them

[dim tusk]

Restart your discord... That's client side.

[gilded shadow]

I did and its still black

[stuck ibex]

Is there an event that checks for /reload

Is it worldLoad?

[gilded shadow]

I don't think so

[valid ice]

Base scripts run when reload is fired, but also when the world is loaded

[shut citrus]

how to fix this?

[nova flame]

how do i make a button appear here ONLY for people with a certain Tag

[round bone]

if (player.hasTag("some_tag")) form.button("")

also you have to include this when you're handling a response from form

[nova flame]

this goes before the responce.selection aswell?

[round bone]

before you're showing a form to a player and handling the response

[nova flame]

okay ill mess around w it i just started js like 2 days ago

[round bone]

have a nice one then

[dim tusk]

you cns try to sue this as reference

const form = new ActionFormData().title('test');

const buttons = [
    { name: 'warp', texture: 'textures/ui/' } // Always shown button with texture
]; 

// Add conditional buttons with their textures
if (player.hasTag('shop')) buttons.push({ name: 'shop', texture: 'textures/ui/' });
if (player.hasTag('sell')) buttons.push({ name: 'sell', texture: 'textures/ui/' });
if (player.hasTag('invite')) buttons.push({ name: 'invite', texture: 'textures/ui/' });

// Add all buttons to the form
for (const btn of buttons) form.button(btn.name, btn.texture);

form.show(player).then(({ selection, canceled }) => {
  if (canceled) return;
  const choice = buttons[selection].name; // Get the button name from the array

  if (choice === 'warp') {}
  else if (choice === 'shop') {}
  else if (choice === 'sell') {} 
  else if (choice === 'invite') {}
});```

[nova flame]

@dim tuskthanks this helped

[fathom hemlock]

whats current scriptapi version, cuz mc got updated

[jolly citrus]

what happened to .runCommandAsync

[open urchin]

removed in 2.0.0-beta

[jolly citrus]

o

are the custom command builders on ly avcailable in preview

or are they in 1.21.70

[zinc flax]

How is setPropertyOverrideForEntity used?

[round bone]

preview

[round bone]

it's runCommand right now

[ivory bough]

How to get the repawn point of a player?

[ivory bough]

You basically set a property of an entity to a certain value for only the player you have chosen. The property has to be client synced

[zinc flax]

So Player A can change the value of a creeper to make it blue only to them?

Player B still sees a regular creeper?

Can it be applied to player properties?

[shy leaf]

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

this returns DimensionLocation

interface DimensionLocation {
    dimension: Dimension;
    x: number;
    y: number;
    z: number;
}```

i have no idea why the coordinates are deconstructed

[prisma shard]

no like the vscode theme

[leaden elbow]

is the Date on script accurate enough on realtime

[errant wadi]

if you mean Date Constructor it is.

and it's the only way to get realtime.

(unless you use bds and http request)

[leaden elbow]

got it thanks

one last thing

how to get the Entity (which is Player constructor) by using provided playerName? since playerJoin event returns playerName and playerId

or can i just use the playerId instead to get the Player

[dim tusk]

why? Just use playerSpawn and initialSpawn property

[leaden elbow]

oh well

so basically

initialSpawn is when player is respawning?

[cyan basin]

initialSpawn is when a player joins. It's the first time the player spawns into the world

[leaden elbow]

okay thanks

[round bone]

it's better tbh

[shy leaf]

oh yeah now that i think about it

it is better that way

[echo tinsel]

Sorry to bother,
It gets unbearable laggy with the time running, would changing it to do seconds or min range instead of milliseconds fix that or is going to run that frequently regardless?

[dim tusk]

Dont keep checking time every tick, asd delay like 40 ticks delay or more.

Id it's runtInterval

[echo tinsel]

How do I add a delay because I'm not doing anything to check the time?

Loading in it does it and then randomly there's a terrible stutter

[errant wadi]

system.runInterval/runTimeout

[echo tinsel]

Is that just going to make it where it stutters on a timer basically?

Loading in is pretty bad. I'm assuming it's going to do that Everytime regardless on the timeout.

[echo tinsel]

Thank you

[ivory bough]

Yeah

[thorn flicker]

I cant see the video.

its just a grey screen, even when I download it

try a different format

[thorn flicker]

@humble lintel its great

there's going to be a new tooltip option for modal forms in the future btw

you'll be able to hover a little icon that shows a description of an option, which will be way neater.

[round bone]

it's not on stable yet

it's already in-game for preview version

[thorn flicker]

thats why I said in the future.

[round bone]

but it already exists in the game, it's not for stable yet

[thorn flicker]

what I said is still valid, not everyone wants to have their addons running on preview.

[round bone]

preview is a good way to test new features in their add-ons

[wary edge]

😐

[round bone]

it already exists in the preview, so how it's valid?

[thorn flicker]

you are one of those huh

[wary edge]

Because it can always be removed.

[round bone]

we know that it won't be removed

[wary edge]

Until it becomes stable, it will always be coming soon™️

[round bone]

why they would even remove it?

[wary edge]

Thats what we thought with HCF.

Anyways, not going to argue woth strangers on the internet. 🙂 You should know what VoidCell means by "in the future"

[thorn flicker]

arguing for no good reason at all

[round bone]

it forced developers to migrate their add-ons to scripting API

the migration made Mojang developers easier to maintain new updates for creators I think

[wary edge]

XD I would have thought you would know better now. The scripting channels are always like this.

[thorn flicker]

I should've remembered this

you are right

lol

[thorn flicker]

@humble lintel
maybe you can make it per-player? Maybe other players want different options.
Unless you did that already, if so nvm.

and if the host of the world does not want that, make it so they can override it in an admin version of the menu.

[distant tulip]

it didn't
you would be surprised of the amount of outdated add-ons that used to use HCF

[errant wadi]

lmao fr

[wary edge]

🤯 Which proves my point.

A lot of HCF functuonality people thought would be coming in the future didnt!

[thorn flicker]

lol

[round bone]

we have changed our topic to a HCF

tell me why they would remove a tooltip for modal form data components?

[terse pulsar]

The itemStack.getComponent('minecraft:cooldown') returns a number or bool?

[terse pulsar]

Thanks

[fast lark]

Someone have the spawner like donut smp addon

[coral ermine]

is there a way to open shulker in hand?

[fast lark]

U could make a script where it show u a chest ui with the inventory of the skulker

Shulker

[coral ermine]

Ik but how to get shulker inventory

[random flint]

place it using dispenser

[thorn flicker]

needs to be placed to be able to access it.

[distant tulip]

Dispenser

Ah, Gega said so

[prisma shard]

your status made me giggle thanks buddy

[sage sparrow]

hi there, do someone used the camera to set a kind of security camera? javascript innerTV.camera.setCamera("minecraft:free", { offsetFromTargetCenter: testloc, targetEntity: target });
shouldn't it track the target? the camera is placed but it doesn't follow

[wary edge]

You need to put it on a loop.

To my knowledge.

[weary umbra]

how can I change the scale of an entity bc the value is now read only

[random flint]

component group

[weary umbra]

yeah thats the issue

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: 'value' is read-only at <anonymous> (script/minigames/map_3.js:93)

[random flint]

Try lower script api version

[terse pulsar]

If i put a while inside system.run it will loop until while be false?

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[terse pulsar]

True?

[fathom hemlock]

whats the playerDie event?

[wary edge]

entityDie.

[fathom hemlock]

okay

[meager pulsar]

since worldInitialize and itemComponentRegistry are deprecated, what do you use now?

[wary edge]

system.beforeEvent.startup

[meager pulsar]

can i ask about this 2 too?

aftertEvent world Initialize and playerSpawn.suscribe

startUp is only as a beforeEvent, as for playerSpawn idk why its suscribe in specific is deprecated

[wary edge]

Use worldLoad, playerSpawn isn't deprecated.

[meager pulsar]

then why os it marked like it is?

[wary edge]

The I variant is deprecated. It inherits the normal PlayerSpawn event.

[meager pulsar]

I variant?

[carmine cloud]

would yall know how to get the default gamemode set for a world from within the script api?

[marsh pebble]

How do i add script events to open up my guis

[distant tulip]

IPlayerSpawnAfterEventSignal > PlayerSpawnAfterEventSignal

[distant tulip]

not possible

[distant tulip]

a form?

[marsh pebble]

yes

[distant tulip]

import { world, system, ItemStack, Player } from '@minecraft/server';
import { ActionFormData } from '@minecraft/server-ui';

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {
    const { id, message, sourceEntity } = event
    if (sourceEntity instanceof Player) {
        new ActionFormData()
            .title("Special Offer!")
            .body("Do you want a free diamond?")
            .button("Yes!")
            .button("No")
            .show(sourceEntity)
            .then(({ selection }) => {
                if (selection !== 0) return;
                sourceEntity.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container?.addItem(new ItemStack("minecraft:diamond", 1));
                sourceEntity.sendMessage("You received a free diamond!");
            })
    }
})

[marsh pebble]

so if i changed event to
"ticket" it would open

[gilded shadow]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerspawnaftereventsignal?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable
is this being removed?

[wary edge]

No.

[distant tulip]

wdym

[gilded shadow]

the methods in it are missing

I wanna Check what .subscribe provides to callbacks

[wary edge]

What are you seeing?

[wary edge]

MS Docs is terrible.

I use stirante's docs

[granite badger]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/ try this

[gilded shadow]

I see

[gilded shadow]

this is better

thanks

[carmine cloud]

Damn. Thanks tho

[fathom hemlock]

why the blocks don't get cloned???

[marsh pebble]

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

@distant tulip

[distant tulip]

huh

why

[distant tulip]

what are you trying to do

[marsh pebble]

@distant tulip

how to open a form with

/scriptevent form:open <er>

[dim tusk]

stop tagging him men...

[marsh pebble]

opp 🙏

[dim tusk]

also, just do```js
if (id === 'from:open') {

}```

[dim tusk]

you think it's not annoying? Chill out in tags

[fathom hemlock]

why is this not working, its not cloning the thing:

  if (!arenaPos1 || !arenaPos2) return null;
  if (arenaClones.length >= MAX_ARENAS) return null;

  const index = arenaClones.length;
  const sorted = getSortedPositions(arenaPos1, arenaPos2);
  const width = sorted.to.x - sorted.from.x + 1;
  const height = sorted.to.y - sorted.from.y + 1;
  const length = sorted.to.z - sorted.from.z + 1;

  const xOffset = (width + arenaSpacing) * index;

  const targetStart = {
    x: arenaBase.x + xOffset,
    y: arenaBase.y,
    z: arenaBase.z
  };

  const cloneCommand = `clone ${sorted.from.x} ${sorted.from.y} ${sorted.from.z} ${sorted.to.x} ${sorted.to.y} ${sorted.to.z} ${targetStart.x} ${targetStart.y} ${targetStart.z} replace`;
  world.getDimension("overworld").runCommand(cloneCommand);

  const arena = {
    index,
    start: targetStart,
    end: {
      x: targetStart.x + width - 1,
      y: targetStart.y + height - 1,
      z: targetStart.z + length - 1
    },
    p1: null,
    p2: null,
    spawn1: null,
    spawn2: null
  };

  arenaClones.push(arena);
  return arena;```

[real whale]

Hello, how can I create a manifest.json file in a script manner?

[fathom hemlock]

oh should I do: world.getDimension("overworld").runCommand(`${cloneCommand}`);

[distant tulip]

if(event.id !== "form:open") return

[dim tusk]

you can generate manifest but converting it as a file isn't possible...

[dim tusk]

try logging like do console.error() stuff

[fathom hemlock]

okay

[real whale]

I searched online but which manifest.json generator should I use Do you have any recommendations

[fathom hemlock]

everything is working but not cloning

[dim tusk]

https://coddyxbox.github.io/com_project/

-# not trying to advertise

[real whale]

thanks

[granite badger]

Wait this is good

[real whale]

Yes, this is very good.

[dim tusk]

really? Damn thank you, that's kinda old project and I can't see someone using it so I don't really advertise it...

[marsh pebble]

how would i add that to the ui tho

[distant tulip]

to the ui?

[distant tulip]

-# psst. dark mode

[dim tusk]

-# not my problem, just enable force dark in your phone.... Lol, tho I might actually add it later

[sage sparrow]

so there is no way to replicate in API the command "camera @s set minecraft:free facing targerName"?
because this command is executed once and it tracks the target

[dim tusk]

use runtInterval.

[marsh pebble]

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";
function showMainForm(player) {
  if(event.id !== "form:open") return
  const form = new ActionFormData()
    .title("Choose an option please")
    .button("Names")
    .button("Ranks")
    .button("Clans")
    .button("Cancel");

is this it?

[distant tulip]

yes, the code is not finished tho

[sage sparrow]

I know, it would be the same as looping it, I thought the cameras on API had the same behavior as the commands

[marsh pebble]

thats just part of my ui

but my ui activates with an item

but i'd also like it to activate with script event

@dim tusk

[marsh pebble]

is this right?

how would i do /scriptevent to open this

[elder remnant]

am I able to load something before a script reloads

[dense sun]

I want to disable players to be visible when then they are visible in XRAY

is there a way to make them visible only if a player is looking at it

[dense sun]

like line of sight based rendering

[terse pulsar]

Why do you use ? After get component and container?

[remote oyster]

It's called the optional chaining operator. It safely accesses deeply nested properties without throwing an error if one of the properties in the chain is undefined or null.

[terse pulsar]

Then, use it after getComponent its a good habit ?

[remote oyster]

Whether or not you use it is purely personal preference. It doesn't necessarily mean your code is better with or without the logic.

[terse pulsar]

Hmmm

Thanks

[distant tulip]

it is best used in places where you are not sure if the returned result is defined or not

[terse pulsar]

Thanks

And...

Why this

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {
    system.run(() => {
        equip(ev.source, ev.itemStack, ev.cancel, ev.itemStack.getComponent('minecraft:cooldown').cooldownTicks(ev.source))
    })
})

Its sendig this error

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: not a function    at <anonymous> (activation.js:54)

[distant tulip]

cooldownTicks is not a function

it is a number

use getCooldownTicksRemaining

[terse pulsar]

But on wiki its cooldownTicks(player: Player)

I think

[distant tulip]

link?

[dim tusk]

I think

[distant tulip]

there is not a single use of the cooldown component in the wiki

[terse pulsar]

Sorry, i checked and i was wrong

I think that i need some good sleep hours

[floral vessel]

tf does it mean "Expected 4"

[distant tulip]

the docs you are looking at don't match you version

[floral vessel]

Is there a version switcher other than the one that toggles between stable and experimental?

[wary edge]

I use https://stirante.com/script/

[dense skiff]

Do we have a way of making text displays that doesnt use a custom entity?

[dim tusk]

Use amror stand or smaller entity.

Make an animation scaling them into 0

Play them using playerAnimation()

[terse pulsar]

On setTimeOut uses ticks or seconds?

[dim tusk]

that don't exist, you meant runTimeout()?

And it uses ticks.

setTimeout() uses milliseconds tho it doesn't exist in Minecraft script API.

[terse pulsar]

:0

[terse pulsar]

Its like a timer?

[dim tusk]

things will happen after that time.

[terse pulsar]

Hmmmm

Ok

Thanks again

[narrow patio]

how do you import in 2.0.0-beta?

[cold grove]

?

import what

[prisma shard]

just like you import

[cold grove]

the import of the imports

[prisma shard]

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

thats it

Idk what did he meant by Import

[floral vessel]

what units is getVelocity in?

setDynamicProperties({ 'name': value, 'name': name })

i think this is how

[solar dagger]

better to use this in typescript that way you can define them

[wheat condor]

i just didnt know what record means

i used setDynamicProperty but not properties

[solar dagger]

you mean like setProperty?

[solar dagger]

figured this out, must be in a loop

player.camera.setCamera(MinecraftCameraPresetsTypes.FollowOrbit, {
            location: {
              x: plyrLoc.x,
              y: plyrLoc.y * viewDir.y,
              z: plyrLoc.z
            },
            viewOffset: {
              x: 0,
              y: -10,
            }
          });

[wheat condor]

no i mean that multiple dynamic properties needs an object

setDynamicProperties({
  key:value,
  ket:value
})

and single dynamic property doesnt

setDynamicProperty(key,value)

oh okay

[nova flame]

if (player.hasTag("2xSell")) {
        addScore (player, "Coins", totalAmount * 2)
    }  
    else addScore (player, "Coins", totalAmount)
    return totalAmount
``` any ideas on why this dont work?

[shy leaf]

im missing a lot of context here...

[nova flame]

everything else had worked untill i added the x2 thing

[nova flame]

this should be self explanitory

[shy leaf]

still missing context

[nova flame]

like what

[shy leaf]

did you get any content log

[nova flame]

no

i figured it oout

[round bone]

addScore(player, "Coins", totalAmount * (player.hasTag("2xSell") ? 2 : 1))
return totalAmount

if you'll have more tags like {x}xsell in the future, consider using:

const highestSellMultiplier = player.getTags().filter((tag) => /^\d+xSell$/.test(tag))?.map((tag) => +tag.split("x")[0])?.sort((a, b) => b - a) || 1
addScore(player, "Coins", totalAmount * highestSellMultiplier)
return totalAmount

I can't use await wait(5) in functions

```commandManager.addCommand("ui-builder", {description: "Open UI menu", category: "Open", format: ${commandManager.prefix}ui-builder}, ({msg,args})=>{
let plr

openUIBuilderMenu(plr)

})```

wait is function made by e

[untold magnet]

does the onRandomTick requires the onTick component?

my copper pot is using the onTick component to do somethings, but i need to make it get exposed or weathered like vanilla copper

[glacial widget]

what's the villager sound?

nvm ill just look online

[cyan basin]

mob.villager.yes and mob.villager.no

[fathom hemlock]

how do I use typeId?

[leaden elbow]

player.nameTag = "value" sets a nametag of player right

[leaden elbow]

?

typeId returns type id
