Script API General

[round bone]

😅

[thorn flicker]

its fine

[distant gulch]

why was isOp removed

and is there an alternative without using tags

[wary edge]

It has been replaced with a more verbose permission interface.

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0-beta.1.21.80-stable/enums/CommandPermissionLevel.html

[distant gulch]

thats only available when registering commands though no?

i need to send a different message based on if the player has operator privileges or not

[tight bloom]

Done, sorry for clogging the channel

[distant tulip]

player.playerPermissionLevel

[distant gulch]

oh okay

thank you

im guessing thats preview only

i dont see that in the base game

well that sucks

[thorn flicker]

2.1.0-beta

[distant gulch]

at this point i may as well make realms and serves in preview and force anyone who actually wants to play to download preview 😭

[remote oyster]

It's coming. Don't worry. isOp isn't recommended anyways. It's not consistent between Realms, BDS, etc. Their new logic helps to bridge the complexity of their permission levels under the hood while probably saving them from having to refactor it in the game lol.

[distant tulip]

anyone here good with math?

[distant gulch]

depends is the math 2+2?

[distant tulip]

dot product related

[valid ice]

What’s up

[full idol]

Hey

Does anyone know if it'd be possible to patch this duplication glitch by clearing a player's crafting table slots on join? https://youtube.com/shorts/URw-Hc3ylPk

[distant tulip]

i want to get the angle between the player view vector and the movement vector, but the view vector is relative to the, world while the movement vector is relative to the player. that throw things off a bit when calculating that directly, velocity vector work but that not possible with my use case

so basically i want to turn the movement vector to tell the direction relative to the world

[distant tulip]

not possible

[valid ice]

Movement vector is relative to player… how?

[valid ice]

Copy full inventory, run clear command, set inventory back

Best you can do, afaik

[full idol]

Ah no crafting table access like java, I see

[full idol]

Would clearing full inventory also clear the crafting table?

[valid ice]

Not the block, no

My bad, thought you meant the inventory crafting grid

[distant tulip]

moving forward for example don't change the vector no matter your rotation

[full idol]

Yeah, I thought crafting UI would be just one global UI rather than one per block

Ah wait, I was reading the wiki which shows inventory crafting...

Maybe break all crafting tables and replace in range of a player when they join?

[distant tulip]

i think i got it
but it is returning only positive angles, no matter if i moved right or left, forward or backward

[full idol]

Alternative idea: Get a custom entity which loads chunks, when a player leaves, summon one at their body which may patch it as chunks stay loaded? idk what the root issue is

[valid ice]

Idk what movement vector returns- is it like, x=1 for forward or what

[distant tulip]

just added signed angle to my angle function and that fixed it

-# thanks for considering helping me herobrine

[valid ice]

Ah lol

No worries, I guess?

[somber cedar]

Where did you find this

I can't get it to work

[distant tulip]

~~i am guessing you have no idea what i am talking about, lol

i needed the angle between the player view and movement, there relativity is different so a simple calculation didn't work

so i just subtracted the player view direction from his movement to get the movement relative to the world, and used that to calculate the angle

is this right or am i complicating stuff?~~

nvm this shit, idk what i was doing

[distant tulip]

what did you try

[valid ice]

That doesn’t feel right, but I can’t really look into it at the moment

[distant tulip]

alr, lol

[somber cedar]

const vec = player.inputInfo.getMovementVector();
if (vec.x === 1) {
    console.log('left')
}

it's not printing the text when im moving left

[valid ice]

Log vec and see what it is returning

[somber cedar]

0.7415120...

[valid ice]

That sure ain’t equal to 1 😛

[distant tulip]

there is diagonal movement too

does the value change depending on the device? there is a bit of offset

[somber cedar]

for me it's giving between 0.5 to like 1

[distant tulip]

huh

that is way off

[somber cedar]

I fixed it

[idle oar]

Is it possible with script to fade in a night skybox with time of day?

[somber cedar]

What does this do because it works

[unique acorn]

tells you the direction a player is walking

[wary edge]

This is the code I used without using the as any

[valid ice]

[echo tinsel]

Would I ask here if I need help setting up a UI config for drop rates ?

[remote oyster]

That’s fine to ask here, or if it’s a deeper topic, feel free to create a forum post in #1067535382285135923 . If possible, include the relevant code you’re working with, what issues you’re running into, and any error messages if applicable. Then give folks some time to respond.

[echo tinsel]

i am just really struggling trying to understand how to do what im trying to do and whether its even possible, and i keep trying to look at examples and i think thats making it even worse

[distant tulip]

What are you trying to do

[echo tinsel]

and i dont even know if i can properly explain it.
i made a ui using actionformdata. Theres a Category in there that im trying to lock the items within that category from being clickable until the player acquires the item for the first time.

and im also trying to make a configuration for drop rates and mobs spawning with the items rate.

i understand that i can not do that within the actionformdata? but im hoping that i can use the same format ive been using within my form to maybe give the player the config when they click on the button. and then remove it from their inventory after they have submitted the changes

this is my ui so far, i stopped because i dont know if this is the right way to go now

im only trying to lock the items within the "Cosmetics" category

i can not wrap my head around modalform

or how to make the game save that info, i tried looks at jaylys statistic addon and ended up more confused

and the (Math.random() <= 0.01) in both the holidays and legendary drop configurable for the player.
Thinking that it be where i can make a button withing the how it works category that leads to the ui giving a settings items?

[patent tapir]

Is it possible to overwrite a death message with a custom one

world.beforeEvents.entityDie doesn't exist and setting the death messages gamerule to false at the start of the actual entityDie event still lets the death message show up

Unless beforeEvents.chatSend works

but I doubt it

it can't detect system messages

[distant tulip]

You can't lock it in script api, you can only ignore it or make it open the same form

Can't you do something like

import {VanillaEntityIdentifier, world} from "@minecraft/server"

const dim = world.getDimension("overworld")

dim.spawnEntity("id:name" as keyof VanillaEntityIdentifier, {x:0,y:0,z:0})

[echo tinsel]

tbf it was just like an extra feature i wanted to add where the compiled cosmetics also act like a collection of sorts. Would it be possible do the other thing with the configuration and getting the config setting from the ui and it disappearing after submitting the changes?

[distant tulip]

Didn't understand some parts, you want to hide some options conditionally?

[fallow minnow]

Why can't bds grab xuid

[echo tinsel]

ignoring the cosmetic collections thing.

The biggest thing for me is setting up a configuration for the player to be able to change the maths in the entitydie. I'm not understanding how to set that up

but i was also trying to lead to it through my ui somehow, as i understand i can no set a configuration within my current ui itself?

and it actually requires modalform? which i can not wrap my head around how it works

[fallow minnow]

const form = new ModalFormData()
form.title
form.dropdown
form.textfield
form.toggle
form.whatever else

[echo tinsel]

I guess it's the making the math configurable in the first place and saving it because I don't understand how the modal will help me but it's what I was told I need to use when I asked someone

[cold grove]

explain better what do you mean by "math configurable"

[true isle]

am i the only one that cant get their pack out of 1.21.50?

[wary edge]

Wdym?

[true isle]

like ill change the min engine and everything up to the latest stable like 1.21.70 for 1.19 api and doesnt give me an error but stuff dissapears

i have no clue why. its done this the last few updates. i have not been able to update my pack since the pale garden

[wary edge]

Haven't had this issue.

But it's also a vague issue.

[true isle]

thats why im confused is ive never had this issue

always just been able to update min and format version and keep going but idk what the issue is

could it be gametest maybe thats breaking it

21:04:47[Blocks][error]-block_definitions | C:/Users/ZoMb1/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/games/com.mojang/development_behavior_packs/Blushrooms BP | blocks/leaves/goom_goo.json | itemGroup.name.netherWartBlock | Identifier must have a namespace
found the error but i have no clue why im getting it

[fallow carbon]

at some point they made spawnEntity autocomplete vanilla entities so you need to provide either your entity's id or string to it in a type generic ie spawnEntity<string | "my:entity_id">(...)

[halcyon phoenix]

what does server ui do?

what are some stuff that you can do with it?

[remote oyster]

Allows you to create a GUI with actions, messages, and modals.

[rigid torrent]

How can I add lore to crafted items without any ticking?

[wary edge]

You cant.

[rigid torrent]

Do you remember by any chance how to do item descs in lang files?

[shy leaf]

the best you can try is to add a line break and another translation key in the item name

[rigid torrent]

I don't think line breaks work on lang files

[shy leaf]

yes but in the behavior pack, however...

[rigid torrent]

But I do remember there was a way to add them, that's what im asking

[shy leaf]

this is what better on bedrock did

[rigid torrent]

bad method

will be the same name in any language

[shy leaf]

yeah but what else do we have here

wait wha

[rigid torrent]

What im asking

[wary edge]

???

What are you talking about? Those will be translated.

[rigid torrent]

Will that not be the same in all languages like display method used to work

[shy leaf]

no its properly translated

i can confirm it

[rigid torrent]

okay

thanks

[wary edge]

Display method has always supported translations.

[rigid torrent]

I remember hearing it didnt

Anyway thanks!

[remote oyster]

You would need to verify but I'm pretty confident crafted items trigger entitySpawn. If true, then you could use that to handle the ItemStack and add lore. If it works, make sure you utilize early returns since all entities will cause that event to be triggered, adding overhead. Anyway, this was the only idea I could come up with lol.

-# This may not work 👀

[shy leaf]

crafted items trigger WHAT

[remote oyster]

I could be wrong.

[shy leaf]

omw to test

[true isle]

so i completly forgot about the crafting_item_catalog.......

[shy leaf]

if this works its gonna be a godsend

(janky one but yeah)

[wary edge]

You could actually probably detect inventory change now.

[remote oyster]

That too

That may be the better option I think lol.

[wary edge]

But thats not foolproof.

[shy leaf]

well thats inventory change, sooooo...

[remote oyster]

If anyone tests entitySpawn, report back lol.

[shy leaf]

im doing it rn

[wary edge]

And pray tell, what happens to your inventory after you craft items?

[shy leaf]

i shouldve specified... i meant like grabbing the item in inventory with mouse

[shy leaf]

:(

[wary edge]

Well, you jusy have to wait for the crafted item detection event MOjang is planning.

[remote oyster]

Was definitely worth a shot.

[shy leaf]

yeah

[halcyon phoenix]

you used json ui right?

[shy leaf]

...no

[halcyon phoenix]

wait no json ui involvement?

[shy leaf]

yeah

no

its all from native method

[halcyon phoenix]

ohhh

also is there any example file for fogs? i can't find the vanilla ones

[shy leaf]

pretty sure microsoft docs have one

[halcyon phoenix]

I found it nevermindd

[wary edge]

Idk what you mean but https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/tree/preview/resource_pack/fogs. Also wrong channel.

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah i just found it there was many options

[shy leaf]

oh i forgot the existence of bedrock samples

[halcyon phoenix]

where should I discuss stuff about fogs? #1067870133328027730?

[remote oyster]

Seems like the right place. This location is more targeted towards scripting.

[halcyon phoenix]

thanks

when I modify the resource pack / fog.json I need to reopen the world, is there any other way?

[shy leaf]

/reload all

[shell sigil]

Is there way to change skin of entity that I attack example I attack zombie then the skin change to pig but it have the zombie behavior if doesn't work maybe I should just make the pig tp to zombie and make the zombie invincible what should I do guys

[halcyon phoenix]

thanks seawhite

[halcyon phoenix]

I don't know if there's an entity that does that in vanilla but you can use how sheep shearing works where on_hit it would change a custom_component

[little hull]

im using the playanimation option in the script cause i dont want to use player.json and im playing an animation when the player is riding something i wanna check if the ride is moving before playing that animation is the q.ground_speed of the player increases when the ride is moving?

[prisma shard]

HUH

Crafted items trigger entiitySpawn?

[distant tulip]

No

[prisma shard]

What did you find in testing

[shy leaf]

none

it doesnt work

[prisma shard]

ah

okay

[little hull]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
    const entity = event.target;
    const rideable = entity.getComponent("minecraft:rideable");
    const movement = entity.getComponent("minecraft:movement");

    if (!rideable || !movement) return;

    const movementValue = movement.currentValue;

    const riders = rideable.getRiders();
    for (const rider of riders) {
        if (rider.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
            
            if (movementValue > 0) {
                rider.playAnimation("animation.tralalero_ride_move", {
                    controller: "controller.animation.tralalero.ride",
                    stopExpression: "query.ground_speed <= 0"
                });
            } else {
                
                rider.playAnimation("animation.tralalero_ride_idle", {
                    controller: "controller.animation.tralalero.ride",
                    stopExpression: "query.ground_speed > 0"
                });
            }
        }
    }
});```

anyway to make this so it will keep on running event without the interact activation?

cause the idea here is i want to play an animation when the player is riding the entity cuase the entity has a unique walking bounce effect so i want to sync it by making an animation for the player with bounce effect also and stop that when the ride is not moving and change it to the default riding animation of the player, is that all possible without using player.json?

[prisma shard]

system.runInterval(() => {
})```

[oak lynx]

no way italian brainrot addon 😭

[prisma shard]

vibe coder funni "tralalalello tralala"

[deep quiver]

Put a 1

[prisma shard]

why

[oak lynx]

more readable i guess

[deep quiver]

Bcs it then only runs once a tick

[oak lynx]

it defaults to 1 iirc

[deep quiver]

If you don’t put anything its gonna run as often as it can, atleast in the new 2.0.0

So it runs 3 times now iirc

Per tick

[oak lynx]

i havent noticed a difference going from 1.0.0 to 2.0.0

[deep quiver]

Try it out

[little hull]

help the animation is buggy

[oak lynx]

wait is bds 1.21.80 compatible with 1.21.81

[deep quiver]

Wdym compatible?

[oak lynx]

can a player on 1.21.81 play on 1.21.80 bds

[deep quiver]

What kind of update was it?

For hotfixes its usually fine

Ah yeah it was

Should work yeah

[oak lynx]

but it changed behavior packs slightly

i am too lazy to try

nvm i will try

[deep quiver]

Yeah I saw that

[oak lynx]

it works 🙏

[wintry bane]

How do I trigger an event when the player is sneaking/jumping. Does it have something to do with the inputButton enum?

[shy leaf]

player input event

[wintry bane]

Can you show examples, I can't find it in docs

[little hull]

its not possible without using player json is there anyway to play animation controllers via script side withou using player.json

[oak lynx]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.PlayerButtonInputAfterEvent-1.html

[oak lynx]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player-1.html#playanimation

[little hull]

Optional
controller
controller?: string
Remarks
Specifies a controller to use that has been defined on the entity its not possible you have to define it in the entity using it you have to use player.json

[ivory bough]

What is the new permission system?

[unique acorn]

it's used to know permission level of a player

[round bone]

it's not in-game yet

[distant gulch]

someone told me its player.playerPermissionLevel in preview but that sounds pretty dumb

why is it player.player lol just make it player.permissionLevel if that is the case

[ivory bough]

Ik. But how will the new one work?

[unique acorn]

operator has 3 (or 4 levels, i forgot), and each level has its own stuff, .isOp() checks if player permission level is 4, and on a BDS the default permission level is not 4, but the new one will allow you to check if it is lower

[ivory bough]

Oh

[ruby haven]

Will it still be compatible with other addons if I use player json in the client side I just defined some animations and activated through scripts in the server side?

[ivory carbon]

there is a way to add to an entity an component group by script?

example: i right click an entity with an item and a componentgroup is applied to the mob

[wary edge]

You have to trigger it via events.

[little hull]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
    const entity = event.target;
    const rideable = entity.getComponent("minecraft:rideable");
    if (!rideable) return;

    const riders = rideable.getRiders();
    for (const rider of riders) {
        if (rider.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
            rider.playAnimation("tralalero_ride", {
                controller: "tralalero_riding",
                nextState: "riding",
            });
        }
    }
});```

[little hull]

does anyone know why the animation plays for once then stops the animation controller doesnt work at all i defined it correctly in the player client side?

[echo tinsel]

Sorry.I had shared my entitydie file. And I'm trying to make the drop rates in that file configurable.. I ended up figuring it out though.

[final ocean]

All types of Minecraft modules

[warped blaze]

does saving dynamic properties on an entity prevents it from depawning?

or does it despawn as usual

[remote oyster]

No? You are just saving information to that entity which is stored in the world's data file under that specific entity.

[little hull]

how can is sync a riders bone rotation and position to the ride through combination of scripts and molang

[midnight ridge]

does mojang remove ability to put instant values inside ModalForm ?? because in this new version 1.21.80 i keep getting this error :
[Scripting][warning]-Error setting default From coordinates: TypeError: Native type conversion failed. Function argument [2] expected type: ModalFormDataTextFieldOptions | undefined [Scripting][warning]-Error setting default To coordinates: TypeError: Native type conversion failed. Function argument [2] expected type: ModalFormDataTextFieldOptions | undefined
i tried to fix it but it keeps showing the same error even if he was working on the 1.21.7x versions

if u are asking how im using it here is a part :

 if (selectedCoordinates.get(player).coords[1]) {
      FromToo.textField(
              "§o§a[!]§f - To (x, y, z) :",

Yes

[echo tinsel]

How does one do that?

[echo tinsel]

Thank you

[grand heart]

why can't i edit skin id and mark variant anymore using scripting? why did they change it to read only?

[grand heart]

and scale

[wary edge]

What was your use case?

[grand heart]

"geometry": "Array.geos[query.mark_variant]",
"materials": [ { "*": "Material.default" } ],
"textures": [ "Array.skins[query.skin_id]" ]

[open urchin]

use entity properties

[wary edge]

Devs said there was issues that couldn't be ironed out so they made it readonly. Or something like that.

[grand heart]

so i can dynamically change skins

ahh

okay

[grand heart]

is it possible to use this on render controllers

[open urchin]

yes

[grand heart]

can you give me the syntax please

[open urchin]

query.property('my:property')

[grand heart]

thank youu, also can i change the entity scale using render controllers?

[open urchin]

just the visual size? not collision box

[grand heart]

yes sir

it's actually better for me

[open urchin]

in the client entity file there's a scale parameter in scripts

"scripts": {
  "scale": "molang"
}

[frozen vine]

Is it possible for me to change the state of my block when hit by a wind charge like it happens with vanilla doors?

[open urchin]

you can subscribe to the projectilehitblock event

[grand heart]

thank youuuuu

[echo tinsel]

How can I detect when a player has picked up a custom item?

[wary edge]

In 1.21.90, there is a InventoryChange event. You can use that.

[echo tinsel]

Ah so I have to wait til they update or am I just confused lol?

How does something like jaylys statistics detect items have been picked up if it requires a 1.21.90 thing?

[remote oyster]

Probably runs a block of code in intervals where it gets the players inventory component and basically looks at each slot in the inventory. Not very performant but it does the job.

[full idol]

Am I right in saying this won't work because the chat is already open?

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

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((event) => {
  const message = event.message;
  const player = event.sender;

  if (message === "!ac") {
    event.cancel = true;
    console.warn("[] !ac " + player.name);

    
    system.run(() => {
      const form = new ActionFormData();
      form.title("Simple Test");
      form.body("test");
      form.button("button");
      form.show(player).then(r => {
        console.warn("Response:", JSON.stringify(r));
      });
    });
  }
});

If so, can I somehow close chat first or something?

[sharp elbow]

Not reliably. My guess is you should repeatedly try showing the form until they see it.

[thorn flicker]

check if the cancellation reason is "UserBusy", and it'll open when they close the chat.

you should work on registering custom commands instead though.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/customcommands?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[full idol]

Ah yeah thanks, just saw this

[fallow rivet]

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ customCommandRegistry }) => {
    const test = {
        name: "kaos:test",
        description: "hmm",
        permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.GameDirectors,
        mandatoryParameters: [
            { type: CustomCommandParamType.PlayerSelector, name: "Player" }
        ]
    }
        customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(test, addItem);
});

function addItem(players) {
world.sendMessage(`${players.nameTag}`)
}

What should I do to have the player's name written?

[open urchin]

There could be multiple players so you have to iterate over the array

function addItem(players) {
  for (const player of players) {
    world.sendMessage(`${player.nameTag}`);
  }
}

[fallow rivet]

Not wokr

[full idol]

@valid ice Hey! I was just looking at your repo for ChestUI and it's really impressive! Reading on bedrock.dev, it looks like JSON UI is going to eventually break in favour of OreUI. For just simple chest layouts, are there likely to be better methods to use now? Thanks!

[valid ice]

Right now? No

Server forms still use json UI, you can’t really switch it until they release editable ore UI for that

Probably not for a while, though

[full idol]

Hmm I see, I'm looking at this other implementation which appears to use entity inventories, though the code is really hard to look through. I believe it might have some limitations though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wn5atDLYoY

[valid ice]

If you're worried about things breaking when ore-UI releases, that method would also break

[full idol]

Ah, is there something being changed with how entity inventories work in relation to selecting items? I'm not too familiar with OreoUI's changes yet

[valid ice]

Couldn't tell you, as ore UI isn't released for either screen. I see what you mean, though- no, there would likely not be changes as to how items are recorded in the entity inventory

[full idol]

Alright, thank you! What I'll do for now is summon a custom entity with an inventory, and keep it right in front of the player so they can open it. Not too sure on what part of that is possible yet but I'm off to read some docs!

[valid ice]

👍

[full idol]

Yeah, seems to be working great with the main issue being you have to right click to open, though it can feel integrated by making them hold an item!

[gilded shadow]

My script spikes for like 120-170ms when loading into a world, is there a way to debug it?

or do i have to manually find it

[full idol]

With this entity component, I really can't work out how to set the number of slots. If I set hopper there's 5, fine. If I set inventory, it's 27 no matter the value for inventory_size. If I set container, it's still 27 no matter the inventory_size. If I define no container type it's still 27

[wary edge]

Thats more of a #1067869022273667152 question.

[full idol]

Ah right, thanks

[frozen vine]

but I assume the projectile will need to hit the block itself in vanilla, it's not like that

[steady canopy]

planning? did they tell us that?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[thorn flicker]

when

[wary edge]

Creator Camp.

[prisma shard]

i swear it can fix my addon

i badly need this event ngl

[shy leaf]

does causing iframes and knockback but dealing no damage trigger entityHealthChanged event?

[olive rapids]

Someone here knows if it's possible to make blocks like gravel, sand, stay floating, like common blocks?

[past coyote]

is it possible to add a property to a block to prevent pistons from pushing it (ie chests, signs)

I'm trying to prevent players from using pistons on chests

[halcyon phoenix]

when I spawn a structure it always spawns in a corner is it possible to manipulate that?

[leaden elbow]

how do i get itemstack name nametag doesnt work

[echo tinsel]

if i want to limit configurations to host only do they have to give themselves a tag or is there another way? I'd rather not have to force players to put cheats on

[silver agate]

is there any to detect if an item has a specific lore? for example, when the player breaks a block holding an item with the lore "test", the block runs a simple particle command

[halcyon phoenix]

yes

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/1.21.80/classes/_minecraft_server.ItemStack-1.html

getLore

[silver agate]

Yay 😄

[leaden elbow]

how to get item name

[leaden elbow]

i mean how can i translate localization key in some string variable? like for example console.warn(item.localizationKey)

[shy leaf]

pretty sure you cant since translations are done via UI iirc

but you can use sendMessage() method instead

[distant tulip]

erm...

[shy leaf]

oh hey there we go

i was looking for that one but it wasnt there so i thought i was crazy

[halcyon phoenix]

how do I get the structures in my behavior pack?

I tried placing a structure however it cannot find it

how do I refer the structure form the structures file to the script?

[random flint]

if its inside structures/foobar.mcstructure, you do "mystructure:foobar"
if its inside structures/folder1/foobar.mcstructure, you do "folder1/foobar" iirc

[halcyon phoenix]

mc.world.structureManager.place(
            "pipe:maintenance_room",
            player.dimension,
            player.location,
        );

it cannot find it somehow

[leaden elbow]

is it only for ui? i believe there's also a use for the script also and one thing i know is .sendMessage({translate: item.localizationKey})

[shy leaf]

@leaden elbow

i overlooked that

[leaden elbow]

yeah i use that

theres #debug-playground for this

[halcyon phoenix]

i saved the structure with prefixes however when files are exported it saved without the prefixes

[random flint]

Prefix doesn't get carried when exported

The prefix changes into what folder name the mcstructure put in.

[halcyon phoenix]

yep exactly

I I just found out that it refers to the file name

I thought there was an identifier inside the mcstructure file

welp I cannot put prefixes on file names

[worn palm]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(ev=>{})

why does this doesn't work on serve

[random flint]

Have you toggled Beta-API?

[worn palm]

Yeah

but it's not detecting the msg

I'm using a fakeplayer addon

[random flint]

Does it work in the first place? On the local world?

[worn palm]

yeah it works

but if i put it on aternos it doesn't

[random flint]

You can't add "bots" or "anything" on Aternos

[worn palm]

ohh i get it, tnx

[echo tinsel]

I'm trying to set up configs for the host to be able to use. I don't want to force them to have to turn on cheats. So I'm trying to think of a work around. Is there a way I can give them the ability to turn the configs off for everyone else?

[granite cape]

i dont wanna leave this playground, but my phone make me difficulty for modified the scripts

this will be insane

[woven loom]

what do you mean

[halcyon phoenix]

hard to look at?

[leaden elbow]

so theres no way i can use localizationKey for my strings?

[fallow rivet]

        permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.GameDirectors,

[fallow rivet]

How do I make this available to all players?

[distant tulip]

Any?

[distant tulip]

wdym?

[leaden elbow]

like to use item.localizationKey in my console.warn or sum

and not on sendMessage

[fallow rivet]

This command can only be used by people who are operators, I want all players to use it.

[distant tulip]

CommandPermissionLevel.Any

[fallow rivet]

It's amazing how simple it is

[round bone]

CommandPermissionLevel.Any

[fallow rivet]

Thanks

[round bone]

remember to check documentation for some things before asking

😉

[round bone]

not offensive, but can save a lot of time

[fallow rivet]

I want to show all players names here but without @a,@e,@p

[round bone]

not possible, you're forced to use Player selector

[fallow rivet]

😦

[remote oyster]

PlayerSelector returns an array of player objects so what you are wanting to do is already done through the selectors. You just have to sort through the array and decide what you want to do with each player object.

[round bone]

he can check if there's more than 1 player

if (argName.length > 1) return
const selectedPlayer = argName[0]

[fallow rivet]

Hmm

Ok

[remote oyster]

Just keep in mind, that will return inconsistent results. For example, if you execute the code with @a then you get a list of all online players, and getting the first index of that array may not be the player object you desire.

[olive rapids]

Does anyone know how I can fix this? Please help me :((

Thanks

[full idol]

Is there a quick and easy way to represent players as chest items? For example if I had a chest which has UI options, java has player heads with NBT data, on Bedrock do we have something to show a player or something visually other than just an item name?

[round bone]

not possible

[full idol]

Alr thanks

Oh and does anyone know any good, open source image packs for chest GUI items? Like arrows, back buttons, X, letters and stuff?

I could make my own but if it's not necessary...

[gilded shadow]

maybe you cam find them for on itch.io

game assets section

[full idol]

Alrighty, thanks!

[gilded shadow]

select ui tag

[hazy copper]

So, not sure if I can get much help to this, but I have this script to spawn potion particles, but im wondering how I can change the color of the potion particle that it spawns

[thorn flicker]

MolangVariableMap

im assuming the particle has variables inside of it, and I believe you can use MolangVariableMap to define the color values.

[hazy copper]

is there documentation on that?

[oak lynx]

is there like a roadmap for api changes?

[wary edge]

Check the MS Docs.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/update1.21.80?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

Theres of course qnas, creator camp, and dev comments.

[umbral dune]

Is it already possible to create textures with scripting?

[dawn zealot]

no

[hollow cave]

Wait can we use custom commands in beta rn? not preview?

[leaden elbow]

how do i make player visible to itself but not visible to others? just like hive's specator system

[sterile epoch]

yes

[hazy copper]

Thank you sorry I fell asleep lol meant to reply sooner

[thorn flicker]

to be fair, I took long to respond to you as well

[hazy copper]

Yeah but in your defense I didn't ping you in my reply first time

🙏

[thorn flicker]

oh no

I saw you asking

lol

[hazy copper]

😭

im still lost tbh

[thorn flicker]

I got busy

[thorn flicker]

I looked in the particle file and I dont think I saw variables for the color actually

[hazy copper]

it says you can set rgb which I get I can prob match it close enough

but

I dont get it like what confuses me is how to add stuff when ive already got something working

[thorn flicker]

I would just make my own particle

[hazy copper]

its for 11 items

and he specifically wants the potion particle

which is frustrating

[thorn flicker]

11 textures for different colors

[hazy copper]

because its the 1 particle in the game you cant just summon easily

[thorn flicker]

there's alot of vanilla particles that are like that.

[hazy copper]

yeah but bro couldve picked one that we could summon

jsut stumped

Im reading it

its going into my brain

I go to add it

my brain fries

[full idol]

Does anyone know why this would be throwing "Not a function" errors? await world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync(`kick "${target.name}"`);

It's a normal world, but for some reason I just can't run commands

[hazy copper]

question

will the particle even respond to the set rgb thing

apparently you have to set that in the particle file but thats not data driven I odnt think

[thorn flicker]

it needs to match what you see in the file.

[hazy copper]

bro im failing miserably

please im too stupid 😭

[full idol]

What are you trying here? To fix the errors?

[thorn flicker]

I lied, I see v.color

[hazy copper]

im trying to make the particle a different color when it spawns

[stuck ibex]

3 am ahh coding session

[hazy copper]

11:20 pm close enough?

[thorn flicker]

venoct you can do it

[hazy copper]

hwlp :sobs:

[thorn flicker]

with MolangVariableMap

[full idol]

5am here lol

[thorn flicker]

its possible

"minecraft:particle_appearance_tinting":
{"color":
[
"Math.clamp(2-v.particle_age*4,v.color.r,1)",
"Math.clamp(2-v.particle_age*4,v.color.g,1)",

1

}}}

[hazy copper]

tried this but they turned black

what's the method for placing a block in script?

I forgor

Im cooked

[thorn flicker]

just create a custom particle, using the code from the that particle file, remove all the variables, except for the color one

thats what I would do, If I didnt want to deal with this.

[hazy copper]

yep im just gonna do that

is there documentation on the exact colors for the particles at least?

[thorn flicker]

wdym

[hazy copper]

the potion particles

what colors they are

[thorn flicker]

an exact doc for that

probably not

[hazy copper]

wah

alright

[thorn flicker]

you gotta get creative.

[hazy copper]

he wants exact colors

welp

time for some dream tryharding

is it possible to give an item lore when interacting with a block?

[gilded shadow]

yes

playerInteractWithBlock event ig

[ivory bough]

How to detect if player is in a container opened screen? Like if player is in the screen the shows when the player opens a chest

[hollow cave]

could do interact with block then check for a container, like chest barrel etc, tho i have no idea how you would do the exit unless you set off a system run interval and look for movement after interact

that way if the player interacts with lets say a chest, we start looking for movement, and then cancel

there is prob a better way

[ivory bough]

How to close the container screen?

Or the container

[hollow cave]

i don't think you can, if you want to prevent them from opening it then you can do data.cancel inside a world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock

[ivory bough]

Wait, does damaging them by 0 close the container?

[hollow cave]

maybe not sure

test it!

[hazy copper]

We I had planned to make the particle today but last night soing some testing I figured out how to do it with the originally vanilla particles partially modified

[ivory bough]

Can anyone give an example code for custom command in latest stable version? I already tried making it myself but it doesn't work even through it doesn't return an error

[woven loom]

show code

[ivory bough]

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((command) => {
const vhsCommand = {
name: "remove:vhs",
description: "null",
permissionLevel: 0
};
command.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(vhsCommand,Command);
});

function Command() {
overworld.runCommand("title @a title cd");
}

u using beta apis right

[ivory bough]

Yep

[woven loom]

hmm weird

[distant tulip]

does ModalFormData textField stops supporitng the 3 options when i want to put values automaticlly inside the textFields?

because now it has just two options

        const dimension = block.dimension;
        const { x, y, z } = block.location;
        const dir = [
         { x: 0, z: -1 }, // north
         { x: 0, z: 1 },  // south
         { x: 1, z: 0 },  // east
         { x: -1, z: 0 }, // west
         { x: 1, z: -1 }, // northeast
         { x: 1, z: 1 },  // southeast
         { x: -1, z: -1 },// northwest
         { x: -1, z: 1 }  // southwest
        ];
        for (const direction of dir) {
            const neighborLocation = {
                x: x + direction.x,
                y: y,
                z: z + direction.z
            };
        const permutation = blockAround.permutation;
        if (permutation) {
            const updatedPermutation = permutation.withState('eidolon:update', true);
            blockAround.setPermutation(updatedPermutation);
          }
        }
      }
    }
  });
});

Does anyone know why it only runs on the first coordinate in dir?

[remote oyster]

blockAround is not declared so it's failing due to it being undefined. When it fails it will stop iterating through the array.

[nocturne berry]

I forgot to change it, I changed it to neighborLocation and it still doesn't work.

[full idol]

Can you access minecraft:cursor_inventory while the player is not in a UI? I know it sounds like a dumb question but there's a duplication glitch where you load into the world and you have the duplicated item in your cursor

[full idol]

I'm struggling to even access the inventory on join now...

[remote oyster]

That's because neighborLocation is simply an object containing the properties x, y, and z and does not have the property for permutation. So it's failing. If you want the permutation then you need to get the block based on the location you are targeting first.

It should be.

vanilla mobs remove the component on tame....
there is a bug report for that

[untold magnet]

umm, in a stable update or in a beta/preview update?

[distant tulip]

stable in stable

bruh...

[untold magnet]

good, so i can make the next hydration update.

[untold magnet]

1.19.0 or something?

[distant tulip]

that was my reaction too

[distant tulip]

yes

[untold magnet]

good.

[full idol]

Is it a bug if naming a container entity you are viewing gets renamed, the title at the top doesn't change. Like for example a chest boat, if someone renames it while you are viewing the chest, the text at the top doesn't change.

[fallow minnow]

No

Just re open the menu

[copper egret]

guys how can I use entity.tryTeleport(location, {dimension})?

cuz when I tried doing something like

player.tryTeleport(location, {dimension: "minecraft:overworkd"})

error occured

maybe it shouldn't be dimension id?

[woven loom]

what error

[woven loom]

pass the object ie player.dimension

[copper egret]

well I am using type id to possibly save the data that could be use anywhere. But I guess I found out how to fix it by

const dataDimension = world.getDimension(data.dimension)
player.tryTeleport(vec3, {dimension: dataDimension})

thanks anyway

[woven loom]

well I am using type id to possibly save the data that could be use anywhere. But I guess I found out how to fix it by

player.tryTeleport(vec3, {dimension: player.dimension})

u need this

[copper egret]

there's a reason why I am using dimension id. I could just use just the vector3 if I want it in the same dimension.

the data in my code is related to my database

Is there a way to detect if a player has joined recently without saving their id or gamertag in the database

[somber cedar]

no

minecraft doesn't even do that themselves

[inland oracle]

just detect when they join store dynamic value of the time maybe

[inland oracle]

then recieve dynamic value and test on it to see if recent

[copper egret]

well, rip

[untold magnet]

umm, how am i going to run that command?

[somber cedar]

Dunno if this stats mod do anything

[somber cedar]

In your terminal

it's in docs...

[copper egret]

I said no saving datas

[somber cedar]

Tough

[inland oracle]

you said not saving in database this is just saved to the player as a dynamic value no database needed

[untold magnet]

-# i am completely lost here.

[somber cedar]

Are you on PC?

[copper egret]

behavior are the same thing

[untold magnet]

yes.

[somber cedar]

open up command line

Then run npm install command

[untold magnet]

win+R?

[somber cedar]

Win+R then press cmd

Press the Windows key + r. In the Run box, type cmd, and then click Ok. This opens the Command Prompt window.

[inland oracle]

what code editor/ide you using

[somber cedar]

vscode

[untold magnet]

like so?

[somber cedar]

No

Type cmd

[inland oracle]

then you can open console with ctrl+~

[somber cedar]

Open: cmd

then press ok

[untold magnet]

and,

[somber cedar]

did the black box come up

[untold magnet]

it did

[somber cedar]

run the npm command

[untold magnet]

sure

[inland oracle]

are you starting a new project if so id do it the microsoft recomended way using mctools and create a npm project

https://mctools.dev/

just use addon starter or typescript starter and save to folder on your computer, open in vscode, open console and type npm i

[untold magnet]

ummm, i cant use the command there, so how am i going to install it from the docs?

(i need the docs link)

[somber cedar]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/modules/_minecraft_server.html#installation

[inland oracle]

you use it to give you a template i was suggesting may be easier for you

[somber cedar]

You don't even use that

[inland oracle]

you can and its what minecraft devs use alot and is through out microsofts documentation, then the install process and starting would be easier

[untold magnet]

-# im on a laptop btw

[somber cedar]

Ah

[inland oracle]

you need to install npm

[untold magnet]

mhm

[somber cedar]

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

make tutorials on installing node.js @granite badger

[inland oracle]

😅 think there are alot out there

[warm mason]

youtube exists

[inland oracle]

also the beginners guide on Microsoft website about addon dev goes through it

[untold magnet]

i just need to run those after i install the node.js thing?

[somber cedar]

you run the installer then yes, you run the npm command

Windows Installer (.msi)

cuz i have no clue what winget is

[untold magnet]

installing

[inland oracle]

i would recommend going to the wiki and understanding the basics this will teach you alot of this https://wiki.bedrock.dev/

[round bone]

it does not exist in 2.0.0 anymore

use runCommand

Ctrl + Shift + F

runCommandAsync -> runCommand

like sender.runCommand

[halcyon phoenix]

Hello people I just wasted an entire day just creating a inefficient maze generator, who wants to judge it?

[hoary matrix]

xd

why wasted

it's amazing

[halcyon phoenix]

has somebody tried making one here?

[hoary matrix]

nope but dungeons yep

[halcyon phoenix]

dunno man

[halcyon phoenix]

they use jigsaw block

and I refuse to use it cause I can't debug structure

I haven't figured out how to create a structure and manually generating them for debug

so I made my own maze generator

dang......

now I need to get the orientation of each cell and correspond it to each of my structure

Im halfwaythrough

[hoary matrix]

dayummm

[halcyon phoenix]

I know there is a quicker way than this but damn

[full idol]

How do I find out which script caused this? It's on a realm, first time happening

[fresh current]

Hmm

[remote oyster]

Any script storing information in memory but not cleaning it up when needed. Could be a Map, Set, Array, growing object cache, or even leftover event listeners that never get disposed of. Anything that keeps expanding each tick without being cleared will eventually exceed the heap limits and crash the server. So look at your scripts and evaluate what is accumulating memory and not keeping it under control.

[full idol]

Alrighty, thanks!

[pale terrace]

setRotation works on the player?

[untold magnet]

detecting the potion type is still on beta, right?

[untold magnet]

yes i believe,

[thorn flicker]

no

[pale terrace]

F

[thorn flicker]

setRotation is weird anyway

[pale terrace]

how can I move the player camera manually?

[untold magnet]

huh, good to know ig

,

[thorn flicker]

maybe thats why its weird when I use it

ive been setting the either the body rotation or head rotation to 0

I think

[untold magnet]

i think by using setRotation to rotate the player head,

[thorn flicker]

like I just said

you cant.

[untold magnet]

mhm,

[pale terrace]

but setRotation doesnt work on players (?

[thorn flicker]

the method does not support players.

[thorn flicker]

???

[pale terrace]

he is so shocked that he transformed into a villager now

[thorn flicker]

huh

[untold magnet]

hrmm, then why player.setRotation is available?

[thorn flicker]

because a player is an entity.

[untold magnet]

then u have to use teleports to rotate the player head

[pale terrace]

applyImpulse too

[untold magnet]

ya i see,

[untold magnet]

its too glitchy tho

[thorn flicker]

then you have no other option.

[untold magnet]

especially while falling or keep rotating the player head

[pale terrace]

you cant move with that

[untold magnet]

exactly

[thorn flicker]

you also can't use keepVelocity for players in teleportOptions.

[untold magnet]

the only good option is:
-# telling the player to rotate his head for u, Please turn your head 36° horizontally

[pale terrace]

[warm mason]

Because Mojang came up with some weird system with player movements. Although if you sit in a minecart and apply an impulse to it, everything will work great.

It's like they don't add support for Player for fun

[untold magnet]

rotating the minecart will not rotate the player head i believe

[wary edge]

Me when I don't understand server/client communication.

[pale terrace]

in minecraft yeah.. its weird how the game works

how opening the inventory is server side?

[untold magnet]

i think it doesn't supports the player bec it will move the player entity without moving the screen, just like having the player entity separated from the screen, or rotating the player head without rotating the screen with it so everything will be glitched,
i think thats the main reason why it doesn't supports the player.

[remote oyster]

Seems logical to me since the data is stored on the host running the world and not on the client joining the world.

[granite badger]

everything is server-side nowadays, even profanity

[pale terrace]

not in java edition

I played in a server with 300ms and opening the inventory is instantaneous

[pale terrace]

even the movement is server authoritative

[remote oyster]

I'm not familiar with Java but if the data is stored on the client and not the host (server) then to me that sounds like a security vulnerability for hackers.

[pale terrace]

being server side doesnt stop hackers too

[remote oyster]

Ask how it's working out for them with the inventory now lol.

[pale terrace]

and also, I dont know how it works but some clients can make the inventory client side

[remote oyster]

Not on Bedrock. Doesn't work that way.

[pale terrace]

idk, Im not hacker lol

[pale terrace]

try Flarial client

yes, its on bedrock

[remote oyster]

You ain't modifying the inventory on a Realm or Server. Only local. I already know.

[pale terrace]

I tried and it works on servers

Local doesnt make sense, you have 0 ping

[remote oyster]

Lies

[pale terrace]

Try it lol

try it on a high ping server

[spare sentinel]

is it only my device or playerButtonInput is bugged when a mobile device player (at least android in my case) presses sneak button? It always fire as "released" state.

[remote oyster]

The packet required to modify the inventory was patched a couple of years ago and another solution or workaround hasn't been found since then. If you try it, it gets ignored.

So unless you are doing something on a server not Bedrock then I'm not convinced by your claims.

[pale terrace]

bro just try the module on the client

and see it by yourself

[granite badger]

additional info: An exception was made if you're the host in a singleplayer world iirc

[remote oyster]

Yea, I mentioned that when I said local earlier.

Which makes sense because you are on the same system that is hosting.

[remote oyster]

Don't need to. Their project is open source. I can look at the code.

[pale terrace]

well why it works on servers then?

[remote oyster]

That's the problem. It doesn't. Not sure why you are still pushing this.

[pale terrace]

because I tried

but ok

[remote oyster]

Yea, except I don't see anywhere in their code where you could have "tried".

[pale terrace]

ok

if you say so

[remote oyster]

Would you like me to send you the link to their repo so you can show me where it's possible and prove me wrong?

Custom but it is to get the owner of a block

You can put "tag:<yourtag>":{} in components section of the block json file

I don't think you can do a dynamic tag like that unless you use scripting

Gens thing?

[loud frigate]

I've seen people make custom UIs that look very different than ActionFormData or ModelFormData. How is that achieved? i cant find info about it on the wiki. is it experimental stuff?

[gilded shadow]

json ui

it's deprecated and ore ui is in development (ig)

so it'll likely arrive in 3-5 business days

[loud frigate]

ah. And with that we can make custom looking uis for our blocks and entities right? not just alter how vanilla stuff looks

[gilded shadow]

you can modify vanilla ui not create custom ones

and there are alot of limitations

[loud frigate]

even when paired with action form data and such? oh well

you should check it on Bedrock.dev and Bedrock wiki

you cant just ask the developer to make it toggle-able

[tulip osprey]

that's going to work

definitely

[thorn flicker]

better than being scummy

[small cloak]

What's wrong with editing addons?

[tulip osprey]

? how am I being scummy

literally just want to remove one simple thing

[thorn flicker]

think for a second

[small cloak]

I've been thinking about this for over a decade.

[tulip osprey]

oh yeah I'm going to distribute it to everyone totally

[small cloak]

Just look up a JS deobfuscator and fix it.

[tulip osprey]

okay thank you

[small cloak]

I think it's so weird how the Bedrock community gets so upset about people looking through their packs. People don't behave like that in the Java community.

[thorn flicker]

I don't find it weird at all.

[small cloak]

I've literally found out an addon was malicious after looking through it.

[wary edge]

People tend to adopt the practice of the professionals in any given field.

[small cloak]

What if the professionals are in the wrong.

[wary edge]

Then someone has to refute it and then they become professionals.

[small cloak]

We need more Java creators to invade this space.

[wary edge]

But in Bedrock's case, these professionals(Marketplace) are heavily isolated of each other and have encryption which influences us hobbyists.

[wary edge]

Please.

[small cloak]

Sorry for making this chat go off topic though. This is just something that bothers me about this community.

[thorn flicker]

honestly, its fine, im now rethinking things.

[small cloak]

It's definitely problematic if the modified pack is distributed. I'd at least ask for permission.

[thorn flicker]

yeah but looking at code to try to understand and learn

I just think people are just worried about their addons being stolen

[small cloak]

If one were to steal an addon, they'd just upload the zip file with no modifications. They don't care what's in it.

[shy leaf]

i can confirm this 😭

there are so many websites that reupload my stuff

[thorn flicker]

it can also be people just wanting to gatekeep things.

[small cloak]

It's pretty bad on the Java side too. 😅

[small cloak]

I've dealt with people like that when someone asks a question. They get so mad when you describe the technique (even if it's something basic).

Java isn't immune from those people too. 😅

lol
