can anyone share their tsconfig.json? i think mine is not working because after compiling it messes up any await or async calls

XD ok

Found 46 errors in 21 files.

ima cry😭

prisma shard
#

tsconfig should match with coding style thats why

#

i think the one i sent is has too strict checks

#

wait what

#

what would happen if i use runTimeout inside runInterval

#

it just works, but... why

ancient sierra
#

Hello! How would I get the item im currently holding? The inventory component is really confusing for me xd

prisma shard
ancient sierra
#

Oh I see, so that's why I couldn't get anything from the inventory component one

Thank you so much! I didn't knew that

prisma shard

selectedSlotIndex doesn't seem to appear in my types although I'll try the first one!

gilded shadow

#

How do you get item types from item names?

#

In previous updates you could import the class Items from the server @ thing but now it doesnt seem to have an export

#

Ok figured it out

#

it was replaced with ItemTypes

is there any perf diff b/w set property vs set properties

# prisma shard what would happen if i use runTimeout inside runInterval

runInterval executes a block of code repeatedly at a fixed interval, measured in ticks. If you nest a runTimeout inside runInterval, you're adding an additional delay before the inner code runs. For example, if runInterval is set to trigger every 20 ticks, and you include a runTimeout with a 20 tick delay inside it, the inner code (inside runTimeout) will effectively execute every 20 ticks after the interval fires, so every 40 ticks in total.

However, it's important to note that the first execution of runInterval happens around (tick 0 tick 1), and the runTimeout inside it would delay execution by 20 ticks, meaning the first inner execution happens at tick 20. After that, runInterval will fire every 20 ticks (20, 40, 60...), and each time the inner code will be delayed by another 20 ticks (40, 60, 80...), leading to an effective execution of the inner code every 40 ticks.

distant tulip
remote oyster
#

I know run delays at the end of the tick. I'm unsure if runInterval does the same but it's very likely now that you mentioned it.

distant tulip
remote oyster
#

Yea it would make sense. In either case, the nested function for runTimeout basically increases the already delayed runInterval.

distant tulip
#

yeah, just making sure i don't have it wrong

remote oyster
#

I edited my comment above to reflect it.

#

Whether at the end of the tick or the following tick, the math is still the same lol. 😁

cinder shadow
#

do we have a way to disable this kind of output or is this yet another random content log I will have to live with forever?

#

It's already distinguished by needing the rc: identifier, adding the capability to do the commands without an identifier was a mistake imo and I will die on this hill

remote oyster
#

I'm still using old school CLI until the new custom commands feature gets worked out a little more.

wary edge
remote oyster
#

Yea, that's true but for context and clarity so as to not create confusion, that's why I referenced it as "old school" 😀

cinder shadow
#

I do also hope we are given the ability to put commands into "groups" so they are only alphabetized within that group

#

makes sense why minecraft has a /? command

#

otherwise the actual /help command which you would want at the top of the list would end up in the middle

remote oyster

If anyone knows, ping me. 👍

#

can you do dynamic properties or something similar on a sign?

#

oh they dont

#

does anyone know any alternative?

#

or a way to see who owns/placed a block

thorn flicker
mighty igloo
#

well ofc

#

but a way to get the player who placed a block within a block

thorn flicker
#

you can use that for what you are trying to do.

mighty igloo
#

Im making a sign shop but I cant seem to assign the sign shops to players without having them place their name in the sign. The issue ofc with that is that they can put any person as the owner

#

My only idea is to save the block and its location within world properties but it seems a little too complicated for this. I mean if its the only method then I will but...

#

In a span of a day i remade the system myself from scratch. i reduced code size by 50% vs what ai gave me.

#

I'll send a vid of it

#

and code

#

made with 0% ai

#

i enjoyed the process more actually

#

again, compressed from 400mib srry for the quality

#

Oh, i forgor the part where the parts break etc.

filter for what?

uncut lynx

Ohh then idk use a function

#

or do

let a;
b.forEach((c) => { a = c; });

kinda thing

uncut lynx
mighty igloo
#

ok it worked

thorn flicker
uncut lynx
#

Since u basically said that my ai code was worthless

#

i have remade it.

#

from scratch.

#

myself.

thorn flicker
#

I did not say that

mighty igloo
thorn flicker
#

I said I was less interested in it because it was made by ai.

#

also what is the byte limit of world.setDynamicProperty

dusky flicker
#

@remote oyster did you work with dbs already? im confused about memory alignment of pages. is it based on the table size or the page size? im thinking about, if pagesize = 4kb, and the data being stored is 40bytes, sometime it will overflow and go to another byte, and so data will get corrupted

thorn flicker

I believe

dusky flicker

#

Indeed, it's common to limit each value to 30,000 and splitting them into chunks. Should you decide to not take the approach of keeping your database flattened.

dusky flicker
#

i pretend making an in memory art

uncut lynx
dusky flicker
#

not 100% sure about that, but its what i saw on web

#

i think sqlite uses pages of 4kb

distant tulip
#

keep in mind the number is to high and you will never reach it, so you might find some people saying it is unlimited (might as well be)

#

if the game didn't break that is

distant tulip
remote oyster
#

If you do globs of data then I would suggest pointers to do faster lookups. Or something of the sorts.

distant tulip
#

can't see a use case where i would search and sort through them

remote oyster
#

Me either. Not flattened anyways. That would be pretty wild I think.

distant tulip
#

just wasn't sure if the amount of api calls would be better than one call, and if the value size affect the call that much

remote oyster
#

Oh no, definitely limit API calls. For example, if you break your glob of data into chunks, instead of trying to write each chunk to its own dynamic property, making numerous API calls, you could utilize world.setDynamicProperties() and make it a batch process. Run it asynchronously and you got something going for yourself.

distant tulip
#

uh... setDynamicProperties is a thing?

remote oyster
#

Yup, and it's fantastic lol. I just wish they had one for get.

distant tulip
#

you learn new thing every day i guess, lol
that sound useful

#

damn, why not...

image.png
dusky flicker
wary edge
dusky flicker
#

for sure the api call has its overheads, but as its implemented in C++, i think its lesser(i dont know if this word exists) than copying 30kb of data

#

that supposing each 1 char = 1byte

distant tulip
remote oyster
distant tulip
distant tulip
remote oyster
# dusky flicker i'd not use 30k, quickjs is not as hell optimized as v8, strings are copied, and...

You can definitely break them down into much smaller chunks of concerned about memory and performance. Although in this instance I think memory will be the biggest concern and a lot less on performance due to the constraints within the API and it's limited memory usage. Just keep in mind that there may still be overhead for gathering up all of your chunks, piecing them together, and then doing whatever it is that you plan to do. Unless you plan to get extremely complex to where you access part of the glob, modify that section, and write it back like a delta update.

remote oyster
dusky flicker
distant tulip
dusky flicker
#

the unique way i think is creating different dynamic properties

remote oyster
#

There are many ways to go about this too.

#

It's all personal preference and how you design your database.

dusky flicker
#

im going to do a lot of benchmarks to decide what to use for performance

remote oyster
dusky flicker

to batch updates

How can i use setDynamicProperties here?

const saveDataString = JSON.stringify(saveData);
const numberSaveDataParts = saveDataString.length / 32767;
for (let i = 0; i < numberSaveDataParts; ++i) {
    world.setDynamicProperty(`createbedrock:rotation_system_components_${i}`, saveDataString.slice(i * 32767, (i + 1) * 32767));
}```
sly valve
#

but:

# 
const DATA_LENGTH = 32767

const saveDataString = JSON.stringify(saveData);
const numberSaveDataParts = Math.ceil(saveDataString.length / DATA_LENGTH);

const saveRecord = {}
for (let i = 0; i < numberSaveDataParts; ++i) {
    saveRecord[`createbedrock:rotation_system_components_${i}`] = saveDataString.slice(i * DATA_LENGTH, (i + 1) * DATA_LENGTH);
}

world.setDynamicProperties(saveRecord);

@uncut lynx

#

like that

uncut lynx
#

Hmm... is that gonna be faster?

sly valve
#

instead of 1-3 API calls, you only do one

#

but as far as i remember, the max. value length of an dynamic property was 4096 ?!

#

instead of 32767

uncut lynx
#

for me 32767 works

sly valve
#

lol

#

cool

uncut lynx
#

Could you help me debug my code

#

?

#

I have an issue, where randomly components destroy themselves (i.e. rpm conflict occurs), when i place sth too fast or ranomly.

#

i'm working on a possible solution but well... idk

#

my possible solution (since while (this.needsUpdate) {} crashes my world) is to have separate copy of the components made upon call of update()

#

then we dont care bout anything new until next update()

#

but then how do i copy the components back w/o breaking possible changes...

#

obv i could copy it one by one

#

but that'd be kinda slow

#

but i do so much iterating anyway

#

it doesnt matter

lyric kestrel
#

Did not know that was a thing you could do with ts

sly valve
uncut lynx
#

okay i figured it out

#

turns out it was destroying when the value was 0 vs positive value, which failed the check (a>0 !== b>0)

#

how can i run sth in async

cold grove
# 
world.afterEvents.someEventIDk.subscribe(async () => { /* */ })
system.run(async () => { /* */ })
(async () => { /* */ })();
sly valve
#

Async/Promises are peak stuff

#

everyone needs to know how it works

lyric kestrel

        const randomPlayer = world.getAllPlayers()
        player.teleport(randomPlayer, { facingLocation: targetLocation, });
        return;

how do i check for if the player it is trying to teleport to is not the player itself?

#

i dont want the player to tp to themself, unless ig, there is no one else to tp to

#

probably going to also add an "allow teleport" feature that only lets people tp to them if they have it on

That code also would not work.

function shootArrow(targetLocation) {
  const velocity = { x: 0, y: 1, z: 5 };

  const arrow = targetLocation.dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:arrow", {

    y: targetLocation.y + 2,
    z: targetLocation.z,
  });

  const projectileComp = arrow.getComponent("minecraft:projectile");

  projectileComp?.shoot(velocity);
}
#

this is an example code

alpine wigeon
#

is there a way to throw a projectile without consuming an item?

shy leaf
#

uh, depends on your use case, i guess?

alpine wigeon
#

i want it to work like you're on creative, but for every gamemode

shy leaf
#

you mean for like, all the projectiles?

alpine wigeon
#

for a specific item i just made

#

only that one

#

no others

#

do you know how to do that?

Hacky method?

#

i mean the player direction thing

#

you know

nova wraith
#

I'm using your movement scripts

shy leaf
#

i see

nova wraith
#

Since it's the only thing that makes the player move like dungeons

shy leaf
#

just letting you know that you can revamp the whole code using new camera features in future updates

#

they added something similar to that

#

using only camera presets

nova wraith
#

So only with camera presets we will be able to change player movements?

shy leaf
#

yep

nova wraith
#

That's interesting

#

But wouldn't that break the combat system?

Please, no screenshots or photos!

Screenshots are hard to read, and photos even more so. This is especially true if you are using bridge or another tree editor, as this format obscures the JSON format.

How To Ask Good Questions

Be specific and include relevant details about the question upfront.

  • What are you trying to accomplish?
  • If you have code, which part is not working? Any content logs?
  • What have you already tried?
  • Have you searched the Bedrock Wiki?

but heres a catch

mighty igloo
wary edge
mighty igloo
shy leaf
#

you cant do multiply math using objects, so you cant do smth like

velocity * player.getViewDirection()
#

itll not work as intended

alpine wigeon
#

you have to split velocity into 3 values right?

wary edge
shy leaf
alpine wigeon
#

oh wait yeah

shy leaf
#

do smth like;

const dir = player.getViewDirection();
p.shoot({ x: dir.x, y: dir.y, z: dir.z * 4 });
#

uh

#

probably should multiply z value instead

#

i forgot how vector3 works in this case

alpine wigeon
#

lol yeah

#

hmm it wants a number for the vector and can't parse the getViewDirection function for some reason

shy leaf
#

aw damnit

#

oopsie

mighty igloo
# wary edge "Ive committed crimes before and no one complained"

Not following guidelines is not a crime. I get your analogy but it incorrect in the scenario when Im able to recreate the situation the other user is experiencing and know for sure that they are able to read the screenshot. Whether or not it was the full code is not your concerns. If I would giving the code away I wouldve sent the full thing, but no. So I sent a screenshot. Screenshots help simplify the process of copying. If I pasted it, it would also display differently. Here is what you need to do. You need to respect that I prefer screenshots over copy and paste. If you cant respect it then this conversation is over.

the view direction scales that for you

#

oh wait.

x: dir.x, y: dir.y, z: 5*dir.z
shy leaf
#

try uh

#

multiplying all the values

#

i forgot that

wary edge
#

You should only scale the y.

alpine wigeon
#

yeahhhhh it works a LOT better now that i'm uniformly scaling it

shy leaf

if that resolves it im gonna crashout

alpine wigeon

it did resolve it...
💀

shy leaf
#

im gonna crashout

#

welp GG

alpine wigeon
#

now the problem is that it spawns the entity inside the player hitbox
so it deletes the entity before it goes anywhere

wary edge
#

Im still mad they wont include a native Vector3 class in the server module.

wary edge
shy leaf
#

owner property, maybe?

wary edge
#

Spawn in front of the player and then shoot it.

shy leaf
#

projectile component has owner property

vast grove
shy leaf
#

its probably disappearing because it hits the owner as soon as it spawns

wary edge
alpine wigeon
shy leaf
#

yeah uh

#

how does your projectile code looks like

wary edge

Vector3 was originally a class before they switched it to interface.

const dir = source.getViewDirection()

                x: source.location.x,
                y: source.location.y + 2.5,
                z: source.location.z,

            const projectileComp = projectile.getComponent("minecraft:projectile");

            projectileComp?.shoot(velocity);

dangit the game crashed

i have to load it again and it takes so long 😭

do you not use /reload

we had a lot of questions like this but

marsh pebble

im talking about software

wary edge
#

Obfuscation is very easy to reverse, but to entertain this thought I would use a bundler to minify your code and obfuscate it.

shy leaf
#

obfuscating makes it unreadable for humans

#

only humans

marsh pebble
#

i dont understand the whole obfuscation thingy

wary edge
marsh pebble
wary edge
marsh pebble
#

I already understand it's suppose to be un-readable for humans only,

shy leaf
#

obfuscating is like

#

a padlock

#

keeps the honest ones away

#

only honest ones

marsh pebble
#

How i think of it, No matter how secure your code is there is a person or software that can always crack it,

#

well

#

yeah

fallow minnow

is this good system

its just test code for now

Code obfuscation with the really stupid way of how JavaScript handles coercion...

even tho i know it can be cracked i still need an obfuscation software for my friend

My experience with programming is 12+ years and I still don't know a lot of things because I don't need to. You can't learn something if you don't have a goal to create something.

marsh pebble

yes that

marsh pebble
shy leaf
#

☠️ ☠️ ☠️

#

caught me off guard

vast grove
#

I had to learn JavaScript because of webdev and now mc. I had to learn C# because I wanted to create a cross platform application in an OOP specific environment, also because it was easier for me.

marsh pebble
#

ik css and html

#

shouldnt js be easy?

#

I dont understand it

vast grove
#

I don't know CSS and HTML

shy leaf
#

well js is easy

until it isnt

I use to be a head admin at leaf essentials if yk what that is (Now im just a bum) 💔

I know vue, xaml, cshtml. But raw html and css I am hopeless

So it's not about (knowing) things. It's about achieving things

anyways i cant even run minecraft, vscode, and my browser at the same time without my cpu capping over 90%

literally for a 300$ laptop im so suprised

im too poor for tjat

im only 14 🙏

im getting a new mouse tmrw tho

marsh pebble

#

I think I spent $1.5k for a laptop, 4k for the desktop and 1k for a phone bigthonk though I don't spend much on anything else so it's slightly justifiable

#

Idk. I should probably wipe my desktop and install a linux distro on it for rendering stuff

#

Or like some compile server with gitlab integration. Would be kinda cool

#

Ok i should stop speculating and work on mclink with VC

its because I copy pasted them form the entity type

oh, okay

safe stream
prisma shard
#

mmm

#

player.dimension.getEntities().length
i am getting entities count using this

#

but

#

it kindof flickers

#

idk why but it shouldnt

#

lets say i kill one entity.. it was 7 before

#

its like suddenly 2 adds up, then turns to 6

#

its inside runInterval with a runTimeout(()={}, 2) inside

round bone
#

you have 7 entities

#

you killed one

#

and you should have 6 entities

#

everything is okay

prisma shard
#

but

#

it suddenly goes to 9

#

then goes to 6

round bone
#

are you sure that there aren't any other entities spawning for a ms?

prisma shard
#

idk but

#

why should 2 entities spawn

#

then disspaear immediately

#

so its maybe script problem

round bone
#

isn't this entity dropping some items maybe?

prisma shard
#

the counter is like -> 7 -> (-1) kill -> 9 -> 6

#

but it should just go 7 -> (-1) kill -> 6

prisma shard
#

mmmmmmmm\

#

i gotta test then

#

you might be right

#

yeah i am stupid sorry 🙏

round bone
#

which entity are you killing?

prisma shard
#

lets say a pig bruh]

#

ok thats not a problem i was just being stupuid

round bone
#

this bug is for every entity

#

oh

#

xD

prisma shard
#

its just giving me nightmares why am i using runTimeout inside runInterval

#

i mean that loooks nested but it works if it works

round bone
#

can you show me the code?

#

I think you're doing something wrong then xD

wheat condor
prisma shard
#

omg no

#

why

#

what

#

i am making debug screen

#

that loses functionbality of vannilla

uncut lynx
#

Bruh i love async

#

it made my addon not lag the hell out of it when block is placed

#

well the lag is lesser

#

but it still is

gilded shadow
#

should i keep my AStar synchronous or asynchronous ?

worn sphinx
#

let me ask, what is getComponent of hunger?

uncut lynx
#

they'd lag the hell outta it

#

secondly, see the lag when i place?

#

it happens for my mod only, rest of the game is unaffected

#

alright the cause is propagateRotation function

#

but that func is already async...

#

there ain't much better way of doing it other than BFS

#

time for micro optimizations i guess

round bone
#

show it

round bone

Code

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {

# halcyon phoenix is it goodhabit to add semicolon?

Semicolons make it clear where a statement ends, similar to how you end a sentence with a period, exclamation point, or question mark. They're a form of proper punctuation in code. You aren't obligated to use them just like you aren't obligated to end a sentence with a period, but others may look at it differently.

halcyon phoenix
#

I see thanks

alpine wigeon
thorn flicker
alpine wigeon
#

how does one do that

thorn flicker
#

nvm

#

there's no power property, im going insane

thorn flicker
round bone
alpine wigeon
#

specificly do you know what the code would be?

round bone
alpine wigeon
#

no

#

wat

thorn flicker
#

should learn what dot notation is.

alpine wigeon
#

like source.runCommand?
or source.spawnEntity

round bone
thorn flicker
#

you access a property with a period

#

yes

alpine wigeon
#

then i do know

thorn flicker
#

good.

#

these are the properties you can get from the projectile component.

round bone
thorn flicker
#

i sent

round bone
#

you're looking for Inertia props ig

round bone
#

I am on my phone rn

thorn flicker
#

we sent it at the same time

#

its fine lol

round bone
#

It's hard to browse scripting docs on phone xD

uncut lynx
alpine wigeon
round bone
thorn flicker
#

like I said

#

there's no power property

uncut lynx
round bone
alpine wigeon
#

:(((((((

round bone
uncut lynx
#

but the models look like a potato

alpine wigeon
#

but inertia is different i think

uncut lynx
#

(i mean raw models w/o txts are fine)

round bone
#

check docs and you'll get to know what you need

alpine wigeon
#

inertia is how quickly it will slow down
power is how fast it goes at the start

round bone
thorn flicker
#

power is the damage modifier from the power enchantment on a bow

alpine wigeon
#

oh really?

thorn flicker
#

are you being sarcastic

alpine wigeon
#

no

#

genuine

#

sry

#

ambiguous

thorn flicker
#

what do you mean by power then

#

the power of the launch?

round bone
#

velocity or power?

alpine wigeon
#

the thing in the entity
idk really

thorn flicker
#

huh

alpine wigeon
#

whenever i tested power changes it made it go faster with higher power value

round bone
#

describe your idea

round bone
alpine wigeon
#

no

#

there's a script

sleek nexus
#

Yes power is initial speed, inertia is how much speed the projectile keeps over time

alpine wigeon
#

i just want to use the "power" that i set in the entity when i set the velocity with the script

thorn flicker
round bone
#

yup

alpine wigeon
#

dang

round bone
#

you have to involve some math then

#

😅

alpine wigeon
#

so velocity has to be hard coded?

#

what math

thorn flicker
#

you can get the velocity

#

entity.getVelocity()

alpine wigeon
#

but im setting the velocity on like the next line

# 
const projectile = source.dimension.spawnEntity("content:infinity_disc", {
                x: source.location.x,
                y: source.location.y + 1.6, //1.6 is eye height
                z: source.location.z,
            });

            const projectileComp = projectile.getComponent("minecraft:projectile");
            projectileComp.owner = source
            
            const dir = source.getViewDirection()
            const power = 10
            const velocity = { x: power*dir.x, y: power*dir.y, z: power*dir.z };

            projectileComp?.shoot(velocity);
thorn flicker
alpine wigeon
#

but then it's hard coded

dim tusk
#

Make a variable.

thorn flicker

there is a variable.

I can't remember what it's called, but on VSCode there's a Java Datapack add-on that turns the icons in your file and folders into the relevant images, and it works for bedrock

#

Does anyone know the name of it?

Fresh windows install... and projects folder is moved. How to link folder back to Repo?

distant tulip
#

If you cloned the repo and just moved or renamed the folder it is still linked
you can confirm with "git remote -v"

#

or just type
"git remote add origin git-link"
if not

Not cloned, all my stuff.

Cloning the repo versus downloading the project will have it set up for git.

neat hound
#

Hmm, seems that after adding git , vscode recognises everything....

remote oyster
#

Make sure your git history is intact.

#

Check with git log

I pushed everything before the new ssd

#

thanks.. will try

remote oyster
#

Yea I figured you did. That's why I suggested using the git clone command. No need to try and "link" your folder to GitHub this way. Cloning it from upstream will pull in everything from the repo on GitHub, including commit history.

Great.. cause I moved the folder from under my user to the c:\ and was not sure it would play nice

#

Once you clone it, you can move it wherever you like. Or just go to the directory where you want it to be, then execute the command there.

#

Cloning is probably the easiest and most efficient way here.
