[distant tulip]

use replaceitem command

[gilded shadow]

and how to specify which entity?

nvm

[distant tulip]

replaceitem entity @s

entity.runCommand(👆)

[gilded shadow]

thanks

[inland oracle]

oh okay my bad i havent looked into entities i just assumed because in the enum i was looking earlier and seen in the equipment slot enum

[distant tulip]

yeah, some stuff show in the types but throw errors when used

[inland oracle]

yeh makes sense im still new to bedrock and picking apart the api myself

oh i wonder if its a planned feature in beta, as the body enum was added to beta

[distant tulip]

probably, there is also some stuff that work on entities and not player
like applyImpuls and clearVelocity, both have been added to the player in the last preview

[amber granite]

How to make player double jump

[prisma shard]

bruh

[jolly citrus]

to make my code flow better & easier to manage i've set up a system where i globally store the necessary data extracted from dynamic properties on my world in their own variables & then make any updates during runtime to that variable, and autosave this data back to the dynamic property every 30 seconds

but i have an issue i'm worried about, what happens if the world crashes or i forget to run some form of save command (whatever i decide to set up) before leaving the world? how do i protect the data against these cases

is there any sort of event that can be listened for when the player saves & quits the world

[fresh current]

yo @fallow carbon can you help me fix the code now?

[prisma shard]

BRO i already said stop pinging ppl randomly like that!

proof (1) - he always pings him like that

proof (2)

i mean bruh

[prisma shard]

briefly to say, You can just send the problem and code, here. There are a lot of other people who can help you, He might not have time always

[fresh current]

nah he was helping me put a file into vs

code

and he told me to wait till later

so thats why i pinged him

[jolly citrus]

can i make available command parameters change depending on what the other parameters inputted by the user are

[warm mason]

no

[jolly citrus]

can command names include spaces

[warm mason]

idk

[woven loom]

no

[jolly citrus]

Will we be able to add spaces in 1.21.90

[woven loom]

no

[jolly citrus]

Smh

Ts command system suck im going back to my chat based commands

[woven loom]

why u need that

[jolly citrus]

Multiple related commands

Faction commands

Warp commands

/f home /f sethome

[woven loom]

what ur looking for is sub commands

[jolly citrus]

Do those exist

[woven loom]

not yet

[jolly citrus]

Will they

[woven loom]

but u can mimic that

[woven loom]

yea

[jolly citrus]

How

[woven loom]

use enums

[jolly citrus]

In what way will i make use of enums here

[woven loom]

sub cmds

[jolly citrus]

Telling me to use enums isnt very helpful mate sorry theres so many kinds

[woven loom]

in ctx of cmds theres only one

check docs

[jolly citrus]

ohhh

registerEnum ?

[woven loom]

ye

[urban cairn]

well enums aren't great if your subcommands need different parameters

[jolly citrus]

Oh right cos they do

So is this just for like

[random flint]

no picky

[jolly citrus]

aliases

[woven loom]

why?

[urban cairn]

because you can't change the next parameter if you change enum

like lets say you want /f home <number> and /f create <string> then that wont work

obviously you wont have home as a number but you get what i mean

the best way of doing it for now i'd probably say just do something like /f:claim, f:home, etc..

[random flint]

then just make two commands with
/namespace:f-home
/namespace:f-sethome 😎

[urban cairn]

or this.. it kinda makes more sense to be like this but whatever you prefer 🤷

[jolly citrus]

Ugly

not conventional

[random flint]

what happened if other pack use the same namespace btw

[wary edge]

Ugh, - and not _

[jolly citrus]

Namespaces themselves being required in commands is unconventional

Custom commands as they are now arent any better than custom chat based command systems

Icl

[urban cairn]

the annoying thing rn is in preview it does hide the namespace but it also shows the namespace.. hopefully we'll be able to hide them with a flag or something

like when doing name: 'f:claim' it'll show both /f:claim and /claim in chat

[woven loom]

Simply use a single parameter and parse it like you would with chat commands.

[random flint]

The custom command pros: auto close chat 👍

[jolly citrus]

Or just do f:home

[jolly citrus]

If I do that it's just better I resort to using chat based commands ....

that's like the biggest benefit that slash commands bring to user experience

[woven loom]

Ur wish

[jolly citrus]

being able to automatically fill in info and see what it's actually used for

[random flint]

Does it break if other packs have the same identifier?

[jolly citrus]

idk dont ask me

[prisma shard]

several people are typing... ahhh nostalgia. this channel used to be so active

[urban cairn]

the only reason why you would want to use /commands if you continue to do it like is so that chat automatically closes for you

[random flint]

thats the trafe-off ig

[woven loom]

It won't register

[urban cairn]

is it with the same identifier? i thought it was if the identifier and the command name already exists

[random flint]

Does it prioritize too? Like how resource pack priority mechanic?

[woven loom]

IG is based on order in setting.

[urban cairn]

i kinda wish we could have been able to modify existing commands so that we could disbale /me and shit or at least just be able to do something like .unregisterCommand or something

[distant tulip]

why

[urban cairn]

why what?

unregistering?

[distant tulip]

yeah

[urban cairn]

the abuse that comes from /me and /say is so bad

[random flint]

Custom Command

• pros: Auto completion, description, close the chat.
• cons: limited typing rules.

Chat Command

• pros: fweedom
• cons: need memorization, can't close chat.

[distant tulip]

doesn't custom servers disable those somehow?

[urban cairn]

yeah but not everyone uses custom servers or know how to disable commands if not done already

[wary edge]

Custom command and chatSend both have pros and cons. It is up to you and your userbase to decide which one to use

[urban cairn]

plus I'm more used to sticking with vanilla server anyway

the only server software i ever managed to use was bdsx

and it doesn't look like that's coming back anytime soon

i would use something like serenity but that's missing a lot of survival features and their api isn't user friendly. then endstone is in python.. (i don't know python or c++)

i wanted to look into making my own bds-based server software while hooking into the server and modifying the packets myself but i don't enough yet and i don't even want to think about messing with raknet and everything else for custom bds software

[simple zodiac]

You can change the permission level a command requires with the commands.json file without custom server software

[urban cairn]

There's a commands.json file?

Never seen that before

[simple zodiac]

Well you have to add it yourself

[urban cairn]

oh shit, thanks for letting me know about that!

wish i had knew about this sooner

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible for me to test if the player presses any of these buttons?

[wary edge]

No, you'll have to get the movement velocity.

[fallow rivet]

Hmm

[fallow rivet]

https://youtu.be/C0u_n9lMd6k?si=5llr6cRnZJIdbN00
I want to do something like this

[fallow rivet]

Whichever button the player presses, the aim will turn to that side and go there.

Is this possible?

[wary edge]

You can use the camera command and contrlscheme for that.

[fallow rivet]

Controlscheme?

[wary edge]

New command.

[fallow rivet]

Hmm

Ok thanks

[fallow rivet]

The camera command contains so many things, how can I make an angle like this?

[wary edge]

I suggest reading the docs and playing around.

[halcyon phoenix]

projectiles are entities right?

[dusky flicker]

where can i find the documentation for it?

Actually, you can.

Detect item spawning on entitySpawn, set a dynamic property with the current Date.now() on the entity.

is that in the minecraft stable?

[finite totem]

how do i check for a left click using scripting?

[winged gull]

you can only do it if they target a block or entity

if they click the air, you can't detect it

[winged gull]

Maybe change format_version to 1.21.70 or something?

[uncut sail]

1.21.80

Game version 1.21.81.2

[winged gull]

do you have the custom components v2 experimental toggle enabled?

[winged gull]

the format_version does not have to match the game version

[wary edge]

CC v2 requires 1.21.80 or higher.

[winged gull]

k

then maybe he forgot the experimental toggle

[winged gull]

wait

[prisma shard]

What?!?!?

system.runInterval(() => {

You can ofcourse detect clicking these buttons.

Not sure why Smokey said "No"

[wary edge]

That is movement, not directly clicking the button. You cannot tell if its WASD or touchscreen.

[prisma shard]

hmm

[halcyon phoenix]

what's the most optinal coordinates for a pseudo-dimension?

[wary edge]

Not really a scripting question.

[halcyon phoenix]

oh my bad

[rose light]

Does anyone have a function that returns true if it finds a block between two vector3 coordinates?

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible to change the direction the player is looking?

[ivory bough]

How to change the player's camera to face an entity?

[thorn flicker]

only through teleportation.

entity.setRotation() does not work on players

[thorn flicker]

same answer

in the teleport method, there's a facingLocation property

[ivory bough]

Do I have to use the viewDirection or the location of my entity in that?

[thorn flicker]

the entity location.

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.19.0/interfaces/TeleportOptions.html#facinglocation

[fallow rivet]

But when I do it this way I can't move

[thorn flicker]

you have no other option.

[fallow rivet]

                player.teleport(playerLoc, {
                    facingLocation: {
                        x: targetLoc.x,
                        y: targetLoc.y,
                        z: targetLoc.z
                    },
                    dimension: world.getDimension("overworld")
                });

[thorn flicker]

?

[fallow rivet]

How can I fix this?

[thorn flicker]

I just told you there's no other option.

you cannot fix that.

[fallow rivet]

[fast lark]

Hi

Someone has the chest ui without inventory made by herobrine?

I dont find the github

[proud saddle]

so
applyImpulse is valid for player now but doesn't work properly

[proud saddle]

if you will apply impulse {x: 0.2, y: 0, z: 0} to player then player moving will look like moving using a piston

[finite totem]

ok that is genuienly perfect

do you mind sending th script part that does that

[bold stratus]

how do I make script when player join then gave them "Joined" tag

[warm mason]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(data => {
  const player = data.player;
  if (player.hasTag('joined')) return;

  /*
    code...
  */
  player.addTag('joined')
})

[distant tulip]

add initialSpawn there

it doesn't matter, but better than running a code when not needed

[warm mason]

Pointless

[distant tulip]

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event)=>{
    if(!event.initialSpawn) return
    event.player.addTag('Joined')
})

it is not

you are running hasTag on a player that already have it, that what pointless

[warm mason]

The person needs the joined tag explicitly to do something when a player first joins. So you need to check for the joined tag so that the code is not executed if the tag already exists.

You'll have to check for the tag anyway, so initialSpawn is useless.

[distant tulip]

this come to what is he faster check initialSpawn or hasTag
one is a property that the event already have the other is a function that you are getting data from

so i would say that initialSpawn is better for this case

[warm mason]

Congratulations, you saved 0.00001 ms

[distant tulip]

well, my point still stand no matter how small the result is

is there a limit of how many dynamic properties a world can have

[finite totem]

how would i make it run a function after the player joins?

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event)=>{
    if(!event.initialSpawn) return
    event.player.addTag('Joined')
    //run function here probably
})

[warm mason]

#1067535608660107284 message

[finite totem]

yeah but idk how to run the function

[warm mason]

Do you need to run the code only the first time a player joins or every time?

[finite totem]

are scoreboards persistent?

[warm mason]

?

[finite totem]

ig i could do every time

would that affect scoreboards or no

[finite totem]

to see if i have to do every time or not

[warm mason]

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

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event)=>{
    if (!event.initialSpawn) return;
    const player = event.player
    // code
})

[proud saddle]

no
there's limit on saving properties per tick

[warm mason]

What do scoreboards do in this topic?

[finite totem]

i wanted it to run a mcfunction that initializes many scoreboards for the player when they join

i also dont know how to make the code run mcfunctions

since ive never done scripting

[warm mason]

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

const scoreboards = [
  "score1",
  "score2",
  "asdhajsdh"
]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((event)=>{
  if (!event.initialSpawn) return;
  const player = event.player
    
  for (let scoreName of scoreboards) {
    const score = world.scoreboard.getObjective(scoreName) || world.scoreboard.addObjective(scoreName)
    if (score.getScore(player) == undefined) score.addScore(player, 0)
  }
}

[inland oracle]

I wish the new destruction particle component system would just fall back on the block texture if a custom one isnt provided because to add different particle texture and block textures on each permutation is alot longer lol

[shrewd relic]

any existing posts regarding updating durability when the item gets used? thanks in advance

[warm mason]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/itemcustomcomponent?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental#onbeforedurabilitydamage

[finite totem]

for the repeating commands, would i have to do that in a script where it runs a function each tick or is there just a way to do repeating in mcfunctions?

#repeat
titleraw @a[hasitem={item=genb10:iron_battleaxe_cooldown,location=slot.weapon.mainhand}] actionbar {"rawtext":[{"text":"Cooldown: "},{"score":{"name":"*","objective":"iron_battleaxe_cd"}}]}

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/mcfunctions#tick-json

[jolly citrus]

How many can be saved per tick

[proud saddle]

10-20megabytes

[jolly citrus]

Of data ?

[proud saddle]

yes

[jolly citrus]

that’s the maximum that can be saved during yield of 1 tick ?

[jolly citrus]

Not a problem then

That’s plenty

I can make it spread the save process i have set up throughout multiple ticks anyway

[proud saddle]

oh sorry
it's per minute or something

not per tick

[jolly citrus]

Huh

Ok

Where does that limit even come from bro

What is supposed to prevent us from saving 21mb of data in a single minute’s time

[proud saddle]

if you save like 15 megabytes(number > 10megabytes) then you get error in log

[jolly citrus]

Oh

Maybe that’s ab it of a problem then

Autosaving every 30 secs

I store player and faction data on rhe world so

Im not sure it would ever exceed 10mb but itd suck if it does

[inland oracle]

why dont you just use custom json file then you dont have those limits

[bold stratus]

where can I learn scripting? since youtube tutorial always using old version

[jolly citrus]

Script api can’t read or write to files

can it now

[jolly citrus]

If you already know how to code somewhat well in other languages (or frameworks)
Learn javascript syntax, njs and just read script api docs

Why are you sending a whole essay in script api general

Ok not anymore

[inland oracle]

if you mean me, i wasnt typing i think it says im tying when i quickly tab in and out of discord lol

[jolly citrus]

Yes I do mean you and thanks for this confession

[jolly citrus]

Lowkey i was waiting on you to reply to this bc im not sure if im right

Last time I checked it cant access

[inland oracle]

oh yeh looking around it doesn't seem so in the sandboxed addon environment, I've only been looking at the API's a week or so

[dim tusk]

Hello I'm back.

[halcyon phoenix]

is there any way to stop left click or prevent it? like a weapon hit?

[halcyon phoenix]

Wuzzup coddy long time no see

[halcyon phoenix]

anybody has done this before?

[dim tusk]

Fully disable? I don't think so, dealing no damage yeh.

[dim tusk]

Halo, depression really hit.

[halcyon phoenix]

Does entityHit before event works?

what if I tp it on itself before the knockback applies

[halcyon phoenix]

how's the recovery?

[dim tusk]

It doesn't exist tho.

[halcyon phoenix]

Oh lol

welp all hope is lost

[dim tusk]

bad.

[halcyon phoenix]

welp as long as you're moving don't stop and keep going, things will get better

[warm mason]

Just make your own damage system :D

[halcyon phoenix]

what about knockback?

[warm mason]

?

[halcyon phoenix]

when you disabale the weapon yoh can still left click

or hit

[warm mason]

Well, it's not such a simple thing... So, you need to think a lot about how you're going to do it.

[winged gull]

world.afterEvents.entityHitBlock
world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah I'm thinkin of on hit it will just tp the entity back to the location where it was hit

[winged gull]

actually hasTag does take a decent amount of time to run, so he probably saved more like 0.25 ms

[warm mason]

I decided to find out. I got an average value of 0.008 MS

[winged gull]

hmmmm

so more than you said

if the player has a ton of tags, it might take even longer

[warm mason]

I said it figuratively. But damn, it essentially changes almost nothing.

[winged gull]

try with the maximum number of tags

use a script to add a ton of random tags to yourself

so you hit the tag limit

then test it

and see how long it takes

[warm mason]

Even if it takes 2 MS it won't be a problem

[winged gull]

actually it will

if you have enough players online, that could be a HUGE problem

I know because I have ran a dedicated server

when you have 20 players online, it has very little room for overhead

so 2 MS could cause a small lag spike

then if a bunch of people join at once it will cause a big lag spike

2 MS is A LOT in terms of scripts

[warm mason]

-_-

[winged gull]

since if the total of Minecraft + scripts is more than 50 MS, you get lag

the further above 50 MS it goes, the more lag you have

you should ALWAYS try to AVOID that kind of lag whenever possible

[warm mason]

A player joining itself causes lags. These 2ms are literally nothing compared to the rest. + there must be an unrealistically huge list of tags for it to take 2ms

If it was in some interval or frequently called event I would understand. But it is in playerSpawn. It is not a frequent event.

And in his case, he'd be better off abandoning mcfunctions in the first place rather than worrying about, oh my god, 0.008 millisecond slowdowns.

[winged gull]

scripts are NOT mcfunctions

there file extension is .js, or .ts, NOT .mcfunction

[warm mason]

🤯 What I meant was that if he wants to optimize the addon, he first needs to abandon mcfunctions and last of all think about how to optimize the use of ONE method that is called once every 500 years.

[winged gull]

no that would actually be much worse

because it will run when not needed

while with the event callback it only runs when necessary

[warm mason]

Do you understand that you are now trying to tell me that calling one method, the execution of which takes ~0.008 ms, is really bad and we need to optimize it as soon as possible?

Moreover, this function is not called often.

[winged gull]

just take the small performance improvement bruh

if a performance optimization is that easy, just do it 💀

that is what I have been trying to get at

[warm mason]

If only it had any effect...

[distant tulip]

It is not about why would you use it when it doesn't save that much performance, it is about why would you not use it.
it may never help but it is the best way of doing things. You don't want to end up with little stuff that's add up over the development time.

[deep quiver]

I always do micro optimisations if they don’t really take long to do and don’t make the code horribly ugly

[prisma shard]

32k bytes can be saved in one dynamic property. Specefically 32767. And talking about the whole world, how much dynamic property it can have, Depends on your device.

[woven loom]

You can have up to 128^32k properties.

[prisma shard]

mmm cool

[woven loom]

Which is impossible to reach

[jolly citrus]

So in short there's no limit

[prisma shard]

^

[jolly citrus]

So there's no limit

[wary edge]

Virtually no.

[jolly citrus]

Okay thank you

[granite badger]

Source?

[woven loom]

Permutation?

[distant tulip]

128 refer to the chars in ASCII?

[woven loom]

Ye

This way, you can utilize all the bytes.

[distant tulip]

what about UTF-8, there is 127 character there that can be stored in 1 byte

[jolly citrus]

Somebody told me about the amount of data you can save to properties in a minute's time is limited to 10mb

Can someone confirm this is true

[woven loom]

Yes

[jolly citrus]

Does it like actually hard reset some sort of limit every minute

[jolly citrus]

Oh

Why is this mechanism even set up

what purpose is it meant to serve

[remote oyster]

It's more of a warning. It won't prevent you from writing to the property.

[jolly citrus]

Oh

So nothing willa ctually break

?

[woven loom]

Cuz ppl like us exists xD

[remote oyster]

Nah, so long as your string doesn't exceed 32767 lol.

[jolly citrus]

How much lag does saving large amounts of data actually cause

[woven loom]

More data mor elag

[jolly citrus]

If i save two properties length of 32767 bytes every 30 seconds

Is that OK

[remote oyster]

It ultimately depends on the hardware.

[distant tulip]

we did more than that and it worked fine

[jolly citrus]

Well mine isn't bad but it isn't great either

16gb ram and decent ssd

[remote oyster]

Best way to test is on a mobile device. If performance is good there then you know you will be fine elsewhere.

[jolly citrus]

It affects other players??

not me , the host?

If I host a world and others play on it will it affect them

[woven loom]

Clients should be fine ig

[jolly citrus]

I thought it's just on my end

[jolly citrus]

or i mean obviously the lag that my machine experiences will also be visible in tps and stuff but i meant that their phones dont have to do any sort of tasks when I save stuff

right

[remote oyster]

When you do heavy tasks it has the potential to slow down the host and create latency for those connected.

[jolly citrus]

Yes so to me that means it doesn't affect them

[remote oyster]

If your machine is good then it ultimately comes down to their ping and your service being provided lol.

[meager zenith]

is there an npm package i can install for scripting v2

[remote oyster]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@minecraft/server/v/2.0.0-beta.1.21.83-stable

That's just one of them.

[meager zenith]

thank you!

I am trying to learn custom compnenets v2 but it isn't working for me

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(e=>{
    e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("ms:bj_dz",{
        onConsume(e)
        {
            const player = e.source;
            const item = e.itemStack;

            const bj = world.scoreboard.getObjective('bjc');
            const bjd = world.scoreboard.getObjective('bjcd');
            bj.addScore(player,1);
            bjd.setScore(player,100);
        }
    });
});

it's showing me this error

[remote oyster]

I haven't personally messed with it but I do know there is an experimental setting that needs to be enabled for the World in order to use that

[meager zenith]

yes there is and I have enabled that

but it's still not working

[remote oyster]

You have beta API enabled? Your manifest also targets 2.0.0-beta?

[meager zenith]

yes

[wary edge]

You have CC v2 toggle enabled?

[meager zenith]

yep

here

[remote oyster]

Either the manifest is targeting the wrong version or there is an improper import within your script. May need to show both for clarity.

[remote oyster]

That's good.

[meager zenith]

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

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(e=>{
    e.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("ms:bj_dz",{
        onConsume(e)
        {
            const player = e.source;
            const item = e.itemStack;

            const bj = world.scoreboard.getObjective('bjc');
            const bjd = world.scoreboard.getObjective('bjcd');
            bj.addScore(player,1);
            bjd.setScore(player,100);
        }
    });
});

idk what else is wrong

[open urchin]

which file is that?

[remote oyster]

That's a bit odd. Your manifest is good and the script is good.

[meager zenith]

berry_juice.js but i have imported it in main.js

[open urchin]

the error is not in that file

[meager zenith]

import "./initial.js";
import "./berry_juice.js";

[open urchin]

it's in initial.js

[meager zenith]

oh?

omg i am stupid 😭 , i am so sorry

[remote oyster]

Lol

i want to use 2.0.0-beta

[woven loom]

system.beforeEvents.startup

[uncut lynx]

Thanks

Why is not a singular wiki saying that?

[open urchin]

because they're made for stable

[woven loom]

its hard to maintain

almost every release now bring new stuff

[uncut lynx]

Alright then i use the wiki as mild inspiration now? lmao

[wary edge]

The MS docs do.

[uncut lynx]

Tell me where

[wary edge]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scriptingv2.0.0overview?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

Quick search.

[open urchin]

You'll have to wait until 1.21.90 releases for info specific to 2.0.0 on the wiki

[uncut lynx]

Thanks, i did not search for 2.0.0 specifically (i assumed ms docs overall are updated)

Also how do i correctly (i am confused by now) apply that custom component to block

if "minecraft:custom_components" is deprecated

[sour sedge]

Sometimes I find it easier to refer to the github source version of the official docs, I find the main one not very well linked and laid out. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/minecraft-creator/tree/main/creator

[uncut lynx]

And the doc is saying that "minecraft:custom_components" is a way to go

while bridge v2 is saying otherwise

and to finish it, nothing of the custom component besides registering works

oh yeah mc is saying it is deprecated too

NOW it worked

so they deprecated it...

without anything to replace it to

obviously

[remote oyster]

Custom Components V2.

[uncut lynx]

... how do i use those?

[remote oyster]

Requires the experimental setting to be enabled. For scripting it requires v2.0.0 and Beta API

[uncut lynx]

... alright but what do i write in "components" field

(Or whatever the V2 uses)

[remote oyster]

I'm honestly unsure. I haven't touched it personally so maybe someone familiar with it can answer you.

[wary edge]

Read the articlr I sent.

[uncut lynx]

Ohhh

Alright, this apparently does not work when i do 1.21.80 insetad of 1.21.40???
https://pastebin.com/gwqnX8QW

[open urchin]

you need to give the component a value, could just be an empty object
"createbedrock:creative_motor_interaction": {}

[uncut lynx]

ok i'mma try that in an hour

gtg

[short iron]

Is there a way to detect if a player unlocks a recipe? Asking for a friend 😅

[echo tinsel]

why am i getting this error
[Scripting][error]-SyntaxError: exported variable 'getPrimaryEquippedHat' does not exist

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [Just Cosmetics - 1.0.0] - [main.js] ran with error: [SyntaxError: exported variable 'getPrimaryEquippedHat' does not exist]

i've searched my whole addon for getPrimaryEquippedHat to triple check its not anywhere else and its not

[short iron]

Did you export getPrimaryEquippedHat?

@echo tinsel

[uncut lynx]

Also how do i store some sort of info block-wise

[wary edge]

Youll have ti store it via entities or world dynamic properties. We do not have block dp yet.

[echo tinsel]

i tried exporting it even though im not trying to get it anywhere else still has the error

[uncut lynx]

It'll lag like crazy with entities and idk how do i do it world dynamic properties with multiple blocks of same type?

[finite totem]

i have this mcfunction that runs every tick and it causes lag so i hate it. How would i make a script to check if execute as @a[hasitem={item=genb10:iron_battleaxe,location=slot.weapon.mainhand},scores={iron_battleaxe_cd=0}] at @s unless entity @s[y=~1.5,dy=0] is true, it runs the mcfunction?

hopefully the lag is reduced since it only checks one thing every tick instead of many

[wary edge]

I would save the coordinates of said block. Its a bit hacky but it gets the job done. Entities will definitely lag if you have lots of thsie blocks.

[short iron]

@echo tinsel I don't see anything like export { getPrimaryEquippedHat }; or export in front of any of your functions

[uncut lynx]

Alright please tutor me onto this

[wary edge]

You just have to learn serialization really. #1067535712372654091 should have some examples from past works. The gist of it is you place said block or whatever and you make the coordinates the key and then the value is a json object with whatever you need.

[uncut lynx]

I want form slider to modify the said data

[echo tinsel]

im actually going crazy cause i tried to just remove it but appearantly i am still calling for it somewherem but its not happy when i export it eitehr

holy typos batman

[short iron]

Yeah something is trying to "import" it so its asking for the export

[echo tinsel]

ive used the search to search for it anywhere else and no where else has it.

i have this mcfunction that runs every tick and it causes lag so i hate it. How would i make a script to check if execute as @a[hasitem={item=genb10:iron_battleaxe,location=slot.weapon.mainhand},scores={iron_battleaxe_cd=0}] at @s unless entity @s[y=~1.5,dy=0] is true, it runs the mcfunction?

how can i query data of some block on x,y,z?

for e.g. facing_direction

[wary edge]

Get the block state.

[uncut lynx]

How?

[wary edge]

Block.permutation.getState

[uncut lynx]

Yeah but i want on specific x,y,z

not on current

[wary edge]

Wdym?

[uncut lynx]

i need to be aware of surrounding blocks for my case

and theirs states

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.19.0/index.html

I recommend reading the docs. You would want to get the dimension, getBlock at xyz, then access the permutation property and use that ti access getState

[uncut lynx]

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

also i am using 2.0.0-beta

getTopMostBlock should be getTopmostBlock.

[plucky light]

Thanks, its those minor errors that can be most annoying to find

[remote oyster]

It happens.

[winged gull]

that is why you should be using TypeScript lol

[sterile epoch]

why does the player selector argument in a custom command not return an array of players

[winged gull]

because it is badly designed

[remote oyster]

I thought it did?

[sterile epoch]

nah I'm testing a fling command and it returns each player separately in the args array, so I've had to push them to a new array if it's a player class

ts so annoying

[remote oyster]

Hmm, care to share an example?

[sterile epoch]

registry.registerCommand(flingCmdInfo, ({ sourceEntity: player }, args) => {
        if (!(player instanceof Player)) return;
        console.warn(JSON.stringify(args));
        console.warn(JSON.stringify(args[0]));
        let playerList = [];
        for (const arg of args) {
            if (arg instanceof Player) playerList.push(arg);
        }

        const flingStrength = { low: 1, med: 2, strong: 5 };

        if (playerList.length == 0)
            return { status: CustomCommandStatus.Failure, message: "§cNo targets matched selector." }

        for (const selected of playerList) {
            try {
                system.run(() => selected.applyKnockback({ x: 0, z: 0 }, flingStrength));
                player.sendMessage(`§a${args[1]} flung ${selected.name}!`);
            } catch (e) {
                player.sendMessage(`§cFailed to fling ${selected.name}: ${e}`);
            }
        }
        return { status: CustomCommandStatus.Success }

    })

and in the console:

[Scripting][warning]-[{"id":"-8589934591","typeId":"minecraft:player"},{"id":"-261993005041","typeId":"minecraft:player"}]

[Scripting][warning]-{"id":"-8589934591","typeId":"minecraft:player"}

you can see args[0] is 1 of the players in the @a selector

just stupid design

[remote oyster]

Can you show your object for flingCmdInfo?

[winged gull]

Maybe try with more parameters?

[sterile epoch]

const flingCmdInfo = {

??

[winged gull]

fill in another parameter

and see what happens

[sterile epoch]

does nothing

[winged gull]

show result

[sterile epoch]

error because idk why my custom command enum isn't working

[winged gull]

try just a string parameter

[sterile epoch]

it is

[winged gull]

not enum

just string

[sterile epoch]

oh ok

[winged gull]

enum ≠ string

string can be any text

enum must be one of the preset values

[sterile epoch]

I registered an enum tho

it was low, med or strong

[winged gull]

use string

[sterile epoch]

but now I don't get the auto completion

[remote oyster]

I'm on mobile and not at a pc so visual clarity isn't as easy on my eyes. Try this though.

registry.registerCommand(flingCmdInfo, ({ sourceEntity: player }, targetPlayers, power) => {
    if (!(player instanceof Player)) return;

    const flingStrength = { low: 1, med: 2, strong: 5 };

    if (!Array.isArray(targetPlayers) || targetPlayers.length === 0)
        return { status: CustomCommandStatus.Failure, message: "§cNo targets matched selector." };

    for (const selected of targetPlayers) {
        try {
            system.run(() => selected.applyKnockback({ x: 0, z: 0 }, flingStrength[power] ?? 1));
            player.sendMessage(`§a${power} flung ${selected.name}!`);
        } catch (e) {
            player.sendMessage(`§cFailed to fling ${selected.name}: ${e}`);
        }
    }

    return { status: CustomCommandStatus.Success };
});

[winged gull]

it is only temporary

to test what happens

gtg

[sterile epoch]

oh wow it worked! thanks

but I'm a little confused, it says the second callback parameter is an array of arguments

nevermind I read it wrong

[remote oyster]

To be fair, it's a bit confusing even after you familiarize yourself with it. I have to take a step back and think about it myself lol.

[tardy pivot]

my block doesnt drop any items when mined

[sly valve]

Any Design related ideas?

[sly valve]

try debugging, could be that one condition cancels the whole script

[tardy pivot]

[Scripting][warning]-onPlayerDestroy called with contentStack=undefined, pressState=undefined, pressContent=undefined

[Scripting][warning]-Calculated unpressedCount = NaN

[Scripting][warning]-Unknown pressContent value: undefined, no item will be dropped.

[random flint]

thats a warning, not an error.

[tardy pivot]

oh my bad

why do they return undefined?

[random flint]

Have you defined the block states on the block json?

[tardy pivot]

yes

[random flint]

use brokenBlockPermutation. the block you're referencing have technically turned into air

[sly valve]

Hey Gegaaa

[random flint]

I thought you left the server

[tardy pivot]

thank you! ill try it

[sly valve]

:( why

[random flint]

Idk, maybe cus im too blind

[sly valve]

:( anyways, 2 questions

Can you help me

and is kal'tsit okay?

@random flint Sorry for pinging

[round bone]

Don't ping people that does not have [@] in their nicknane

[sly valve]

Alright thanks for the advice

[round bone]

you just did it again...

[sly valve]

Sorry

:)

[round bone]

I am joking right now, but don't do this next time

[uncut lynx]

How could i use TS with bridge. v2?

[gilded shadow]

is there a way to get which slot was player's mainhand

[warm mason]

player.selectedSlotIndex

[gilded shadow]

ty

[halcyon phoenix]

correct me if im wrong

playerInteractWithEntity
beforeEvents works if it interacts with an entity?

and afterEvent works if minecraft:interact component gets triggered?

[distant tulip]

yes

[uncut lynx]

How do i use TS with bridge. v2

?

[halcyon phoenix]

it says structureManager doesn't have privilege

[warm mason]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/script-server.html#beforeevents-privilege-system

[round bone]

you have to bypass privilege

[halcyon phoenix]

why did they do this?

[round bone]

/**
 * Remember to import system from "@minecraft/server";
 * import { system } from "@minecraft/server";
 */
system.run(() => {
    placeStructure(location, dimension.id, difficulty)
})

[round bone]

beforeEvents are supposted to be read-only

they shouldn't change anything in the same tick when the event has been triggered

[warm mason]

so that life doesn't seem like a bed of roses

[halcyon phoenix]

well dang

[warm mason]

Using system.run is not that difficult

[halcyon phoenix]

yep I used it a alot when I started scripting

[round bone]

it's pretty common to use it

[uncut lynx]

Thanks to that guy who told me to use coord-based block data storage, with set/getDynamicProperty, my addon would've burned everybody's pc's with entities...

[uncut lynx]

How do i rotate the block's texture via javascript

????

Note i have 511 different rotation speeds i want to use

[alpine wigeon]

511????? why so many

[uncut lynx]

i have RPM from -255 to 255

[alpine wigeon]

are you making create mod or something??

[uncut lynx]

Yes xD

[alpine wigeon]

oof

[uncut lynx]

It's gonna take me year or so

[distant tulip]

not possible

[alpine wigeon]

yikes

[uncut lynx]

soo how can i rotate the block at all

[distant tulip]

part visibility

[alpine wigeon]

you might have to make custom geometries and cycle through them
there's probably a better way but that's the first thing i think of

[uncut lynx]

hmm

511 different geometries are u proposing?

[alpine wigeon]

um

yeah

i think so

actually

[distant tulip]

the max you can do is 32

[alpine wigeon]

you only need as many geometries as how smooth you want the animation to be

[uncut lynx]

Darn

Well in Create pretty much every block rotates in some or other way

[distant tulip]

actually, i might be wrong, you can combine states

[uncut lynx]

so i'd need 511 geos * the functional blocks

[uncut lynx]

wdym?

[alpine wigeon]

if you say
state 1: 12
state 2: 2

then you have 24 states maybe

sort of

[uncut lynx]

Yeah i can just use dynamic properties or whatever to know which one is it the state, but i want to know how to rotate the block

[alpine wigeon]

part visibility i guess and change it every tick
but that causes lag

[uncut lynx]

Do u know how my onTick function looks like?

[alpine wigeon]

no

[wheat condor]

what's the best way to check if the player has beta-api enabled?

[uncut lynx]

Yeah let's just say ...

ugh....

[distant tulip]

you can only have 32 state
so that leave you with 32^32
possible condition you can use at part visibility

[distant tulip]

run a beta function in a try catch

[wheat condor]

i mean the experiment

[distant tulip]

yeah?

[alpine wigeon]

that should be enough tho right?

[alpine wigeon]

that's 1.4615016373309029182036848327163e+48 states

[distant tulip]

that the best case scenario, never tried to go to that extend

[wheat condor]

if addon is requesting -beta version and beta-api experiment isnt enabled it just doesnt load scripts

[alpine wigeon]

so turn on beta

[distant tulip]

uh 32*32
my bad

[alpine wigeon]

oh

that's a bit different

[distant tulip]

1024

[alpine wigeon]

yeah

still enough tho

[distant tulip]

welp, try it and hope for the best

[uncut lynx]

so to summarize?

do i just rotate the block like 30 times in blockbench or what

[alpine wigeon]

it'll be tedious and painful
and you will suffer greatly
but if it works, it will have all been worth it

[uncut lynx]

This is already painful

2 blocks take up 400 lines of javascript

creative motor and half-functioning shaft

[alpine wigeon]

B R U H

[wheat condor]

400 lines? for what

[uncut lynx]

Once i'm done with the shaft and i make stressometer/speedometer to confirm it works

i'll send it

also i guess no animations for now

[distant tulip]

yeah, each rotation and it bone
and the show them with
q.state('id:state1') == 0 && q.state('id:state2') == 0
q.state('id:state1') == 0 && q.state('id:state2') == 1
//...
q.state('id:state1') == 15 && q.state('id:state1') == 15

[uncut lynx]

worse part is i now have to make the speedometer and stressometer otherwise i dont know anything about it

[uncut lynx]

Gosh

how many functional blocks are there in create?

[wheat condor]

isnt it better to spawn an entity with the animation when the block is spawned so its easier to animate?

like end crystals but with a block hitbox

[uncut lynx]

u know how many shafts sometimes are there?

shafts are super used

[distant tulip]

might be more efficient even

[wheat condor]

wdym by shafts?

[uncut lynx]

u never played create ig

[wheat condor]

what's create?

[uncut lynx]

Very Cool java mod

[lyric kestrel]

oof

[wheat condor]

ohh that addons with a lot of machinery

[uncut lynx]

Yeah

[lyric kestrel]

ye

[uncut lynx]

Currently working on transmitting rotational power

(rpm + su)

[wheat condor]

never played but i ve seen a lot of showcases/gameplay

[wheat condor]

well entity is the best option

[uncut lynx]

Duh 200+ blocks * 32 textures

That'd take up a nice amount of disk space

[ivory bough]

How to detect if the world is in multiplayer? Detecting the number players won't work since I want to make players have a join message if in singleplayer and I don't wanna repeat the same message while in multiplayer

[uncut lynx]

Alr no animation it is

[wheat condor]

with entities you dont have to load the server for the animation, and its all rendered from the client.

[uncut lynx]

The lag be like

imagine 40 shafts, 20 fans, sth like that

already 60 entities

Also yay implementing entities!!!!!!!!!!!!

u know what

animations are the last of my priority

[wheat condor]

you can create multiple entities so if there is a 5 block shaft line you can use 1 entity

[alpine wigeon]

but if they have a shaft then a box then a shaft then a box then a ...
it would take a lot of entities still

[uncut lynx]

Yeah

[fresh current]

Hmm

[wheat condor]

you can also use animated textures to simulate a rotation

[alpine wigeon]

then you have to have 512 textures

[uncut lynx]

PER BLOCK

[fresh current]

So I imported a file to vsc but the words are in some weird format that I can’t understand can anyone help me

[alpine wigeon]

and animated textures on custom geometry seems to be broken

also you can't control when the animated texture moves or what frame it's on

[wheat condor]

actually its just a copy paste rotating 45 degrees you just do like fire

[alpine wigeon]

what if instead of increments of 1rpm, you used increments of like 8 or 16 rmp

that would cut the state count down significantly

[uncut lynx]

But that would be piece of crap of a mod

[wheat condor]

bedrock is not a place to create complex addons

[uncut lynx]

This is a challenge for me not just another bedrock addon

I wanted to see what was possible with such limitations

For a long time

[wheat condor]

well you'll have to do a lot of reverse engeneering and exploiting

[uncut lynx]

why

I am just practically "inspired" by real create

it is so different

And if i wanted to, i'd just look at src code

[halcyon phoenix]

is it possible to use getEntities outside render distance?

welp turns out you cannot

it returns an empty array

[wheat condor]

no becouse they despawn and they are not persistent entities

[halcyon phoenix]

what are some workarounds?

[wheat condor]

add dynamic properties to them

and they'll never despawn

[halcyon phoenix]

im trying to get all of the enderman in the end...

is there any function that is similar to ticking area?

[wheat condor]

its not about ticking the world

the entities do not get saved

[ivory bough]

Hey, so I have never used minecraft server editor. But does it work on singleplayer worlds or bds only?

[wheat condor]

even if you render the chunks you cant get entities that were there

[halcyon phoenix]

ahhh I see so a player must manually load it

[wheat condor]

the opposite

when you load the world there will spawn new entities

[halcyon phoenix]

it needs to be ticking

[wheat condor]

this means that all the world needs to be ticking (impossible)

[halcyon phoenix]

how do I add dynamic properties to them if I can't even get them?

[wheat condor]

when the player loads them add dynamic properties so they never despawn

you cant get entities in a never loaded chunk becouse no entity ever spawned

[sly valve]

Good Morning guys

[halcyon phoenix]

goodevening

[wheat condor]

good evening

[sly valve]

:(

[wheat condor]

european core

[halcyon phoenix]

is there any alternative to this?

[sly valve]

Well is 15:09 for me :)

[wheat condor]

you can add a name tag or edit all entities .json file to never despawnm

[ivory bough]

Can anyone answer this?

[wheat condor]

bruh

[wheat condor]

i never used server editor idk

but i dont think so

[uncut lynx]

world.getDimension(block.dimension.id).runCommand('say DEBUG LOG') be saving my life rn fr

[halcyon phoenix]

I am spawning a structure with an entity that has a name tag does that not count?

specifically armor stand

[sly valve]

Just do

world.sendMessage(""):

[uncut lynx]

good point

[wheat condor]

features cant spawn entities

[warm mason]

world.getDimension(block.dimension.id)💀

[halcyon phoenix]

structure manager?

[wheat condor]

yes

[sly valve]

Overkill i guess

[wheat condor]

but not a prebuilt structure from the pack

[warm mason]

need to add another getDimension

[sly valve]

Ye, and a tellraw instead of /say

[wheat condor]

world.getDimension(world.getDimension(block.dimension.id).id)

[uncut lynx]

Y'all will lose it when u see my main.js

[sly valve]

Please dont...

[wheat condor]

when you see a runCommand() just press CTRL + X

[halcyon phoenix]

is there anything similar to ticking area on scripts?

[warm mason]

no

[wheat condor]

#1364195448017125406

[warm mason]

In fact, it is not the API function.

[wheat condor]

but its a working exploit

so why do i need to say no if it exists

[sly valve]

Guys, Im doing a Tower Defense in Minecraft and I want to add Custom Icons (unicodes).. can someone help me in DMs? (ik its resource related but yeah)

[rugged tinsel]

whattt, why nottt

sounds like a great idea

[sly valve]

Its a great idea

[wheat condor]

what an ancient language

[plucky light]

Is there a way to find the biome of a location?

[uncut lynx]

For the main.js sake, how can i cleanly write

a = sh_t();
if (a == undefined)

```?

[sly valve]

Sure

[fresh current]

join vc rq if you could

im trying to fix this file in my vsc

[sly valve]

Ill ping you when I can, give me some minutes

[rugged tinsel]

nah

const sys = server.registerSystem(0, 0);

[wheat condor]

const a = sh_t() ?? 0

[uncut lynx]

thanks

[warm mason]

AI moment

[fresh current]

bet

[sly valve]

a = sh_t || 0

[rugged tinsel]

nope

[wheat condor]

?? basically means: if it didnt get the value assume its 0

[rugged tinsel]

not AI

[sly valve]

Bet, baby

[rugged tinsel]

that's legacy scripting API

[uncut lynx]

So which one || or ??

[sly valve]

Doesnt really matters

[warm mason]

Then I'm just not that old

[uncut lynx]

okay

[sly valve]

Depends on the return value

[rugged tinsel]

?? is more strict, it checks if the value is null or undefined. || checks if it's falsy, either works unless you're dealing with potentially falsy values like 0 or false

[wheat condor]

|| = runs if the value is "" or 0 or false
?? = runs ONLY if the value is null or undefined

[sly valve]

So gotta go my fresh guys.
@fresh current Ill Ping you when im able to

[uncut lynx]

Thanks !

[wheat condor]

unc moment

[rugged tinsel]

I'm so glad we have the new scripting API, the old one was utter pain

only thing I miss is custom UI

[wheat condor]

there was CUSTOM UI????

[rugged tinsel]

there was, yes

old scripting was only available on windows though

[uncut lynx]

ModalFormData? ActionFormData?

[rugged tinsel]

no

full html support

[warm mason]

Then it's useless

[uncut lynx]

But the new OreUI

[rugged tinsel]

not talking about OreUI, legacy scripting predates that

[wheat condor]

"new" bruh it was announced 4 years ago and its slowly getting in the game

[rugged tinsel]

The final version that had custom UI docs:
https://bedrock.dev/docs/1.18.0.0/1.18.10.4/UI

[warm mason]

oreUi.addEffect('speed', 999999999999, { amplifier: 255 })

[rugged tinsel]

ok these docs were bad

[warm mason]

The old system looks more low-level

[rugged tinsel]

here's a video that used that UI system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFH6wJj4cw4

[warm mason]

Like custom components

[rugged tinsel]

ehhh, it was super finicky to work with

[halcyon phoenix]

what does preload do in tickigarea?

[rugged tinsel]

I think that just makes it try to load the tickingarea quicker than usual, never really bothered to experiment with it

[halcyon phoenix]

@wheat condor spawning a ticking area does work and then removing it after it was placed that's fine right?

[wheat condor]

you cant add a tickingarea if the world isnt alredy ticking there

[halcyon phoenix]

what?

[wheat condor]

you can add tickingarea only in alredy loaded chunks

meaning that you cant load a chunk far away randomly

[halcyon phoenix]

uhhhhh.....

[wheat condor]

what's the problem

[halcyon phoenix]

I created a new world the end is still unvisited
so I created a tickingarea using
'execute in the end' then genereated my maze, and it worked....

the maze ussrs getEntities to check for armor stands placed by the structureManger

[wheat condor]

were you in the end?

[halcyon phoenix]

nope

I created a new world triggered the script and it did it

[sly valve]

@plain pecan dont leavee us alone!

[halcyon phoenix]

wanna try it?

[wheat condor]

nver seen this feature

didnt test recently but when i tried to do that it didnt work

[wheat condor]

so it works?

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

[remote oyster]

That is just wild haha.

[halcyon phoenix]

this was the script

[warm mason]

|| need another world.events.tick ||

[sly valve]

indeed

[halcyon phoenix]

what does this do?

[remote oyster]

I approve of this message.

[halcyon phoenix]

wait

I did that once lmao

inside a for loop tho

[warm mason]

try to shift the location for example by 1000 in X or Z

[halcyon phoenix]

would that stop working?

[distant tulip]

That is not true

[dusky flicker]

holy hell why 512 possible values?

isnt that too much?

[uncut lynx]

Create mod bro

[dusky flicker]

but damn, 256 would be enough i guess

wouldnt it?

[uncut lynx]

No

In both directions

And at scale of 32+ it doesnt change much

[lyric kestrel]

@uncut lynx instead of the -255 values, can't you replace them with a "rotation" variable?

Like clockwise, anti-clockwise

And then you'd just need 256 speed variables

instead of 511

[uncut lynx]

That doesn't solve anything

[wary edge]

Pretty sure they use block entities for that no?

Your best bet is to jist wait for block entity support so you can render the block as an entity which allows for animations.

[jolly citrus]

omg I hate coding

I hate when things dont go the way theyre supposed to

[sly valve]

Sounds like skill issue

(I also got a problem...)

[jolly citrus]

The issue was just that I changed the way some of my data was structured and i forgot to update the places where i fetch stuff related to it

i fixed it

heh

[sly valve]

I moved all of my files but the import didnt changed automatically...

anyways

Can someone help me with Entity.applyImpulse

[uncut lynx]

Bruh

i just engineered communication system

between adjacent blocks

[uncut lynx]

After

literal 18 hours

I have 1 block fully working

[unique acorn]

thats progress!

keep it up

[uncut lynx]

My entire progress fits within 1 minute video

[unique acorn]

still better than nothing

It took me 45 mins

To make this command

And it didnt even work after that i spent another 15 fixing it

[uncut lynx]

Hmm

[jolly citrus]

But i mean it wasnt 45 mins of full work

[uncut lynx]

Well i spent 18 hours

[jolly citrus]

Yea but u made some crazy stuff in that time

Mines just a command

Its meant to be simple

[uncut lynx]

Well I am not using any sort of community-made api

Maybe that or idk

[jolly citrus]

What

Idk what that’s supposed to mean

Neither am I i made everything myself

Every library if theres any used is made by me

[uncut lynx]

ahh alright i didnt notice

Time for the almighty shaft

[prisma shard]

Oh are you Ju? What happened to your account

[sly valve]

Yes I am. Well, let's say something happened

[uncut lynx]

[sly valve]

(my) Debug screen from Wish, any ideas what I should/could add?

Can anybody help me with my js code??

I keep getting weird behaviour

[ruby plover]

yooo could someone tell me how i can make this code run when the event "eventname" is triggered, rn its working as intended but i dont think it works when the event is triggered

const EventDetector = {
  "eventName": {
  }
}

world.afterEvents.dataDrivenEntityTrigger.subscribe((data => {
    world.afterEvents.dataDrivenEntityTrigger.subscribe((event) => {
        let entity = event.source;
        if (EventDetector[data.eventId] != undefined && entity != undefined) {
            system.runTimeout(() => {
                entity.runCommand("playsound supernova.spawn @a");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:stars1");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:stars2");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:stars3");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:stars4");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:large-void");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:fog");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:fog2");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:black-hole");
                entity.runCommand("particle moo:black-hole-dust");
            }, 0)
        }
    })
}
));```

|| Today is nested event day I guess ||

[alpine wigeon]

why do you use /spoiler?

[wheat condor]

please stop using entity.runCommand

[alpine wigeon]

lol

[ruby plover]

why is that

[uncut lynx]

Alright behold of my 400 lines of code for 2 darn blocks:
https://pastebin.com/iMQQkjMM
Here's my behaviour:

place creative motor
place shaft in front
shaft gets speed 0 (bcz of undefined stuff)
break shaft
replace shaft
shaft has correct speed???

[sly valve]

right, ty

[wheat condor]

const { dimension, location } = entity;

['particle1', 'particle2', ...'particle999'].forEach(id => {
    dimension.spawnParticle(id, location)
})

[wheat condor]

looks awful and commands are heavy to run

[wheat condor]

this is a better and flexible version

[uncut lynx]

Have u seen my onTick functions?

[wheat condor]

i do NOT want to see them
