[Scripting][error]-Error: Custom Command reload failed, cannot change parameters for 'easy:cam' during reload. at <anonymous> (main.js:24)

[woven loom]

You cannot register nee commands with reload.

Do /reload all

[scarlet sable]

ye it doesn't work

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((int) => {
    const CameraCommand = int.customCommandRegistry;
    const options = ['set' , 'add' , 'remove'];
    const command =  {
            name: "easy:cam",

[woven loom]

What is the errro

[scarlet sable]

there's non

it just doesn't appear

nvm

the namespace

I used 2 namespaces

yep

btw do you have an example?

[somber cedar]

1.21.90

[scarlet sable]

?

[woven loom]

Same code

[scarlet sable]

cam alone doesn't work

[woven loom]

With 2.1.0+ u will be able to

[scarlet sable]

preview?

[woven loom]

Yes

[scarlet sable]

ahh I see

ty

[woven loom]

Hopefully, the next stable release will include it.

[acoustic basin]

hey guys, can i place a feature via script if the features path is something like features/folder0/folder1/feature.json

will it work?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[acoustic basin]

thank you

[little hull]

when using system.time interval when the player leaves the game does it pause and when you join it resumes or it will reset again?

[wary edge]

All runs reset upon reload.

[hybrid dune]

Why does it give this error

what happened in the update

    "dependencies": [
        {
            "module_name": "@minecraft/server",
            "version": "2.0.0-beta"
        },
        {
            "module_name": "@minecraft/server-ui",
            "version": "1.3.0"
        }
    ]
}

[wary edge]

Cant use stable and beta.

[little hull]

then how can i prevent it from happening cause what i want is a day counter thing like example every 24000 ticks i show the title of my scoreboard like day 1 i dont want the ticks reseting any way to have an accurate day counter?

[woven loom]

system.runInterval( () => {
if (system.currentTick % 24_000 == 0) {
//code
}

})

@little hull

[distant tulip]

didn't know that 24_000 is valid in js

[woven loom]

now u know 🙂

[little hull]

thank you

[remote oyster]

I didn't know either. Apparently it was introduced in ES2021. Designed to be easier to read the numbers but I'll be frankly honest. I wasn't entirely sure if it represented 24,000 or if it meant something else lol. I speculated it represented 24,000 but I had to Google it to be sure. So I'm not entirely confident it's "easier" to read unless you have knowledge of it.

I learned something new.

[distant tulip]

yeah, i guess it could be useful in big numbers
234234322 you can read it easily if it is 234_234_322

[woven loom]

its taken from java i guess

[remote oyster]

Indeed, but I probably would think you were implementing some binary logic if I didn't Google it to verify for context haha.

[uncut lynx]

how can i know from script the time of the animation that it's currently played for?

[distant tulip]

animations are client side, scripts are server side, so unless the animation is played from the script or bp, you can't know it time

[uncut lynx]

gosh after 2 days of head scratching i figured out how to sync the animations

(without too much visible artifacts)

[prisma shard]

no shit but i am bored of scripting actually

[inland merlin]

Bored or burned out?

[prisma shard]

both kinda.

i got burned out of working on same script

then just left it out of despair

then feeling bored of scripting

[uncut lynx]

also how should 256rpm look like

cuz according to my maths, 256 rotations per minute gives 92 160 degrees per minute, so 1 536 degrees per second, so 76.8 degrees per tick. but that is so darn fast it has the "reverse" rotation look

[prisma shard]

so darn fast that why not make it just break

[uncut lynx]

cuz that's the original mod's limit

[uncut lynx]

did u use AI?

[prisma shard]

.........Can you stop topics about AI

and why do you care about if i use AI 😭

[silent tide]

since its inefficient in the long run and makes you actively dependant on a third party program to help you get stuff done

I mean its not a no go. but don't rely on it

[inland merlin]

While I agree on dependency, it does speed up my coding 10x, I usually fix api or bugs myself that ai can't find

But agree on both fronts

[silent tide]

For sure

[inland merlin]

Positives and negatives to it

[uncut lynx]

i find my project way more engaging without using ai

[inland merlin]

This can be true haha, but myself I have limited time with kids and a wife 🤣

Those that use ai, usually pull their hair out when ai can't figure out an issue and then the ai starts changing stuff it will try to over do it. You have to know or learn ais limits before it starts being your enemy

Im sure someone has a way, but honestly just have a warning limit if someone starts getting alot of diamonds or netherite within a specific amount of time, you can warn admin.

Track what they have in their inventory/ blocks mined

Could make some things to undo everything that player has mined in a period of time

[prisma shard]

how can i remove the { } after JSON stringifing a object

like example it return: { states: hi }

i want it like states: hi

[deep quiver]

Use .slice

[prisma shard]

thanks

i did .slice(1, -1);

fixed

[prisma shard]

oh dude

strings are so frickin weird

help @deep quiver

[amber granite]

So

[deep quiver]

Just do a loop over Object.entries instead, should be way easier to manage

[deep quiver]

Theres no reason anyone should obfuscate if they publish their addon anywhere

[amber granite]

So

[prisma shard]

solved

[amber granite]

So

How i make a door that only opens using a key ?

[woven loom]

Bruh

Using a var and if else

[amber granite]

How to make a player unable to open it ?

[thorn flicker]

is it a custom door

[amber granite]

Yes

[thorn flicker]

just use an if statement for your opening mechanics, checking if its the correct item or not.

[amber granite]

How ?

[thorn flicker]

if (item?.typeId === 'your:item') {
// opening code
}

[amber granite]

._. no i mean how to keep it closed

[thorn flicker]

yeah, thats how.

if its in the if statement, it wont open without the item.

[uncut lynx]

Progress!

What do y'all think?

Yes ik the animation is laggy when update() func runs

i'd need another thread for it not to lag

[amber granite]

ThT locks naice

[thorn flicker]

cant tell if it looks laggy because the video is laggy.

[uncut lynx]

would u want original 1.25gib file?

.mkv

[thorn flicker]

lol no

im not downloading anything

[uncut lynx]

ok but this is terrible

i'mma maybe do sth like 100mib

i fit as close to 100mib as i could lol

[thorn flicker]

its still bad

[uncut lynx]

But it's better ig

I'mma upload that to youtube fine

https://youtu.be/2hQSkT4XKzw

is that better?

[distant tulip]

That looks great, did you benchmark it?

[uncut lynx]

Not yet

I'mma do it now

okay the block-place lag is REAL

let's try async

[distant tulip]

that look as stable as my mental health

[uncut lynx]

lmfao

[lyric kestrel]

holy

[uncut lynx]

okay i have an improvement...

but that is hella laggy

still

[lyric kestrel]

Is that just placing them?

[uncut lynx]

yeah

they work fine when nothing changes in the system

mainly due to the bfs that propagates everything in a single tick

[scarlet sable]

how do I detect what enum was chosen?

[valid ice]

wdym

[scarlet sable]

in customcommands

how do I detect what enum was triggered

like /easycam set

how do I detect the "set"

nvm I got it

[plucky light]

What are you using to produce this?

[little hull]

how can i make sure that players are apart from each other when spawning cause im generating a structure between them so there might be a conflict

[floral vessel]

is there a way to check if applyKnockback is valid for an entity? (without running it)

[shy leaf]

proooobably not but

i think you could spawn the same entity on somewhere inaccessible and test the knockback?

[floral vessel]

basically I just want to filter out weird shit like items and leashknots without explicitly listing everything I want to ignore

[shy leaf]

hmmm

why not use try catch on applyKnockback

[little hull]

is this possible?

[fallow minnow]

yes

get their coordinates and whichever ones you need around them

then see if they share the same coordinates

[olive rapids]

Does anyone know how I can update this?

[shy leaf]

are you using beta api

[floral vessel]

why is my block with a custom component interactable?

[wary edge]

What version?

[little hull]

why does my title disappear so fast even though i use times

player.runCommandAsync("title @s times 10 60 10");
player.runCommandAsync(title @s title §cDay ${currentScore + 1});

[shy leaf]

theres a native method for title

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

use that instead

[halcyon phoenix]

can somebody link me about debugDrawers? im interested in what they do?

[warm mason]

How did you get the debugger to work?

[uncut lynx]

wdym?

i followed the official addon tutorial

run f5 on some random .ts/.js file (project on bridge)

and /script debugger connect

me placing subsequent new blocks...

it just gets worse and worse

could anybody help?

okay i used Queue in findNetworks:

https://pastebin.com/AwMftq0Q

[uncut lynx]

alr i'mma use linked list taken from internet

[dusky flicker]

when using queues of type T

i dont know about qjs

but with node atleast

its faster using simply arrays for so if data length < 64

if else, use a implementation of queue

and you could simply type your stuff instead of using any

the queue and node class are all typed as any

holy hell tje code is 1.6k lines im not reading all this

[dusky flicker]

where is this at?

[uncut lynx]

idk i took Queue from internet

idc bout it havin no types

i mean it bothers me

but i'm lazy

[floral vessel]

stable

api version 1.18.0

[uncut lynx]

i mean linked list improved it and all

but it still lags

[dusky flicker]

how to in hell did linked list solve it?

[dusky flicker]

can you plesse tell where did you modify from queues to linked list?

[uncut lynx]

i modified from array to linked list

in the whole update() chain

just search update():

[uncut lynx]

alright i guess that's better

still tho, 140ms vs normal 50ms time

and it kinda grows lol

[uncut lynx]

300% is better than that 800% am i right?

show me that guy who said "wHy ArE yOu OpTiMiZiNg JaVaScRiPt LoL?"

i have to ask

how can i write sum shit in C++ and import it into my addon with js

So according to this https://youtu.be/sRCgu1ng6Bo the JS is about 8x slower than C++, that ain't that bad ig

hmm...

okay but node.js supports it too

can i use either of these?

[dusky flicker]

how do you check this by the way?

[dusky flicker]

you cant

not for minecraft

[uncut lynx]

with the vscode minecraft debugger

[uncut lynx]

sadge

[dusky flicker]

writing with c++ would make anything possible

modifying runtime, creating websockets, http reqs, fs

[uncut lynx]

i wanted only to pass array onto the cpp prog and it'd give the array back modifed etc

[uncut lynx]

good point ig

So i'm stuck with this sht, yay

[dusky flicker]

yeah you stuck with js

you can see what part of the code is causing more lag

and try to resolve it

[uncut lynx]

i was optimizing my BFS

[dusky flicker]

well, i think i can see what is going on

[uncut lynx]

and it looks like the main cause is entity::setProperty

[dusky flicker]

cant you batch these?

private async updateConnections(): Promise<void> {
        //console.log(`§d[RotationSystem] Updating connections for ${ this.components.size } components`);
 
        // maybe use for later ?
        let totalConnections = 0;
        let connectedCount = 0;
 
        // Update all connection states
        for (const component of this.components.values()) {
            const componentKey = this.getBlockKey(component.block);
            //console.log(`§d[RotationSystem] Updating connections for component at ${ componentKey } `);
 
            for (const connection of component.connections) {
                //console.log(JSON.stringify(connection));
                if (!connection) {
                    continue;
                }
                //console.log(JSON.stringify(connection));
                totalConnections++;
                const connectedComponent = this.getConnectedComponent(component, connection);
                connection.connected = connectedComponent !== null;
 
                if (connection.connected) connectedCount++;
            }
        }
 
        //console.log(`§d[RotationSystem] Connection update complete.${ connectedCount } /${totalConnections} connections active`);
    }```
what in hell is this function doing?

[uncut lynx]

updating connections, obviously

updating .connected states

[dusky flicker]

oh only for that? really?

alright then

[uncut lynx]

this is the lag causer 5000
https://pastebin.com/B9NusrYX

don't mind the comments i used github copilot for some of those

same for console.logs

[dusky flicker]

probably wont help that much but as we talking abou qjs
dont use division
if possible, inline constants
use Math functions

and i think it would be good to use runJob

[uncut lynx]

the division avoiding helps for GPU expensive operations e.g. some sorta tracing or for cpus from the 90's

[dusky flicker]

actually is cpu as well, js numbers are float64

its heavy to do division

[uncut lynx]

ohh right

[dusky flicker]

try avoiding them

[uncut lynx]

i do it once Math.abs(component.RPM) / 1200

and it ain't even the cause

[dusky flicker]

ik

[uncut lynx]

the cause is setProperty in that func

[dusky flicker]

the problem is the setProperties

            component.entity.setProperty("createbedrock:begin_rotation_x", beginRotation.x);
            component.entity.setProperty("createbedrock:begin_rotation_y", beginRotation.y);
            component.entity.setProperty("createbedrock:begin_rotation_z", beginRotation.z);
            component.entity.setProperty("createbedrock:target_rotation_x", targetRotation.x);
            component.entity.setProperty("createbedrock:target_rotation_y", targetRotation.y);
            component.entity.setProperty("createbedrock:target_rotation_z", targetRotation.z);

put this on a function

and try using runJob

test if thats gonna help

and by the way

[uncut lynx]

how do i do the runJob with func

[dusky flicker]

isnt there a way for setting vector3?

[dusky flicker]

function* generator(){
yield ...
}

system.runJob(generator());

runJob runs on a generator

[uncut lynx]

i need to reference these values from animation like here

{
    "format_version": "1.10.0",
    "animations": {
        "animation.entity.rpm_rotation": {
            "loop": true,
            "animation_length": 0.05,
            "bones": {
                "bone": {
                    "rotation": {
                        "0.0": [
                            "query.property('createbedrock:static_rotation_x') + query.property('createbedrock:begin_rotation_x')",
                            "query.property('createbedrock:static_rotation_y') + query.property('createbedrock:begin_rotation_y')",
                            "query.property('createbedrock:static_rotation_z') + query.property('createbedrock:begin_rotation_z')"
                        ],
                        "1.0": [
                            "query.property('createbedrock:static_rotation_x') + query.property('createbedrock:target_rotation_x')",
                            "query.property('createbedrock:static_rotation_y') + query.property('createbedrock:target_rotation_y')",
                            "query.property('createbedrock:static_rotation_z') + query.property('createbedrock:target_rotation_z')"
                        ]
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

[dusky flicker]

the values are in range from 0 to 360 right?

[uncut lynx]

begin are

target are from 0 to 1536

[dusky flicker]

you could use bitwise operations

but that for sure would bug your mind

[uncut lynx]

Don't worry i wrote 12k line C++ class bitset

[dusky flicker]

and i dont know if there are some for molang

[uncut lynx]

yeah

[dusky flicker]

hm, alright then

for rotation you could store a single numer

as its 0..360, 9 bits per field, so a 27bit number would solve it

X << 18 | Y << 9 | Z

[uncut lynx]

molang doesn't have this

[dusky flicker]

to reverse it would be
X = N >> 18 & bits_of(360)
Y = N >> 9 & bits_of(360)
Z = N & bits_of(360)

[dusky flicker]

now we are fcked

well, yeah test it with generators then

[uncut lynx]

how do i do generator from this?

i've never used js generators

[dusky flicker]

function* generator(component) {
yield component.entity.setProperty(...);
yield ...
...
}

the runJob will execute until find the next 'yield'

so just run system.runJob(generator(component));

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/function*

[uncut lynx]

now testing generators

the animation is soooo inconsistent now

[dusky flicker]

try making it only initialize after yielding everything

(idk if 'yielding' is a word)

[uncut lynx]

wdym intialize

[dusky flicker]

initialize the animation

[uncut lynx]

the animation runs in a loop.

constantly

[worthy comet]

Could i asking something about scripting bug ?

[uncut lynx]

yeah

[uncut lynx]

u did const { cancel } not let { cancel }

const is readonly

wtf u mean

[somber cedar]

Anything over 12ms is bad

[uncut lynx]

here's my inconsistency @dusky flicker

[uncut lynx]

I K

u know what?

let u be the guy who optimizes this code @somber cedar

[worthy comet]

Dawg it works 💀 hell naw, it was very dumb mistake

[somber cedar]

Send the full addon

[dusky flicker]

actually it is

when you deconstruct, as booleans are primitives, you are copying the value

even if using let{cancel} wouldnt solve anything

[worthy comet]

Ik

[dusky flicker]

must change the cancel on the event object

[worthy comet]

Dawg I forget it

[uncut lynx]

fr?

[dusky flicker]

js aint helping as well

[uncut lynx]

pov: u placing subsequent blocks

[slow walrus]

are you running this every tick?

that is awful

you should try something like setting an initial started variable, and an rpm variable, and then calculate the rotation in the animation based on those

[uncut lynx]

let's see how'd it run without animation

[slow walrus]

changing that won't improve anything right now

your issue is every time you place a block, you set needsUpdate to true, which does whatever on your network thing

I think you're misunderstanding what async is doing

if you want to spread something across multiple ticks, you need to use a runJob with generator functions

[uncut lynx]

doesnt change much.
block place is expensive asf

[slow walrus]

either way, your code just needs a lot of optimisation. I defo don't think your entire network needs an update every single time you place a block

[uncut lynx]

okay

[slow walrus]

and when you do that, you want to add yield in places with high time complexity, like for loops

[uncut lynx]

e.g.?

[slow walrus]

loops

function* generatorFunc() {
  for (let something of bigList) {
    console.log(something)
    expensiveFunc(something)
    yield
  }
}

[uncut lynx]

the for loops are the least of my worries

[slow walrus]

and if you want to run another generator function inside it, use yield* otherGeneratorFunc()

[uncut lynx]

one, big, singular BFS loop is expensive ASF

[slow walrus]

BFS?

[uncut lynx]

yeah

u didn't see it?

[slow walrus]

no, what does BFS mean

[uncut lynx]

Breadth First Search

Algorithm for graphs

[slow walrus]

ah

[uncut lynx]

in this case i use it to distribute RPM

[slow walrus]

turn your BFS into a generator function

I assume it's recursive?

[uncut lynx]

nope

it uses queue

[slow walrus]

& while loop?

[uncut lynx]

Depth First Search (DFS) is recursive alternative

[uncut lynx]

... but it's slower

a lot in fact

[slow walrus]

would be a lot easier if your code was split into multiple files

[uncut lynx]

Alr i'mma split the component defs

so "misc" "components" and "main"

[slow walrus]

yeah you're using a while loop, so turn your findNetworks function into a generator, then chuck a yield in the while loop

and then use a runJob

[uncut lynx]

i cannot import .ts file???

it has to be .js

?

[slow walrus]

don't put .ts on the end

import './file' not import './file.ts'

[uncut lynx]

ah

do i put export in front of everything?

[lyric kestrel]

For the blocks moving, are you constantly changing the block state with by replacing the block?

[uncut lynx]

no

[lyric kestrel]

Yes

[uncut lynx]

i am using entities

[lyric kestrel]

Oh

Are you not using animations?

[uncut lynx]

i am

[dusky flicker]

by the way

how is it implemented?

i know disjoint set algorithm that is a good option for tracking groups

not how to implement it, but i know its good for tracking it

[uncut lynx]

how is what implemented

[dusky flicker]

the updates

O(n²)?

[uncut lynx]

it propagates using BFS

wait hmm

lemme see the time complexity

(i.e. ask ai)

[dusky flicker]

xd

[uncut lynx]

looks like O(V² + E×V) in the worst case
V -> number of components
E -> total num of connections

that's terrible i see

Average case is likely much better than worst case - most mechanical networks don't have complex conflict chains

The quadratic behavior primarily comes from the conflict resolution system where illegal gear configurations can cause cascading recalculations through the network.

since i allow 2V revisitings of each component before it breaks, lets try to set that to V

(the case for this is when the cogwheels loop around with large/small -> small/large

that breaks the system then

[dusky flicker]

holy hell

[amber granite]

So

[prisma shard]

..... i see you spamming 'So' out of nowhere out of context every day.. bruh lol

[amber granite]

._.

No

[uncut lynx]

yeah i'd say it's fine that half the system gets destroyed when one component conflicts

better than no break

alright as they say

optimization is the last step

anyway i optimized it enough

it is usable

not super usable

alr alr i'mma just do the generators

but thats it

[wary edge]

Not sure if you already got an answer, but its fixed in 2.0

[north frigate]

uhhh what's that

[snow jungle]

why does % not work in sendMessages?

[dawn zealot]

do double

%%

[snow jungle]

understood, is there a explaination on why this needs to be done?

[steady canopy]

no

[uncut lynx]

can i wait for my runJobs to finish or sum like that

i need to not trigger certain func on tick unless other has finished

[distant tulip]

Promise

[woven loom]

Yed

function runJob( gen ) {
retyrn new Promise( res =>
system.runJob( function *() {
let o = yield * gen()
res( o )
} )

})
}

something like this

[distant tulip]

-# return*

[honest spear]

pretty much nice pseudo

[prisma shard]

player.runJobStatus = false

//run your things here
runJob(fillBlocks())

      await new Promise(async r => {
        while (!player.runJobStatus) await system.waitTicks(1)
        r()
        delete player.runJobStatus
      })

//the code here will execute after runJob done
world.sendMessage(`done`)

function runJob(hi) {
system.runJob(function* () {
      yield hi()
  }())

  player.runJobStatus = true
}

i did smth like this

in my worldEdit addon

[uncut lynx]

alright, thanks

that looks just as bad visually

but at least it doesnt lag the server as much

also i switched the animations to be synced via system.currentTick

instead of tryna keep them independent

still not great tho

[uncut lynx]

alright how do i properly wait for a job

i dont understand what ur saying

[dusky flicker]

function waitJob(job) {
  return new Promise((ok=>{
    //You gotta block the thread, runJob doesnt do it
    ok();
  }));
}

[scarlet sable]

in the custom command is it possible to add enum options for an enum option?

[dusky flicker]

just put a loop and its solved

for(const _ of job) await system.waitTicks(1);

could do it

[scarlet sable]

like more options after set

in that ss

[steady canopy]

that's called subgroups and no, you can't

You can have more enums after that

But they will be the same no matter if the player uses "set", "delete"

[scarlet sable]

what can I have?

oh

ok but can I allow the player to have an input after the set?

[jolly citrus]

Does anybody know why I can expand this part of my code ?? is there some syntax issue i'm missing, there's no type/syntax errors or anything like that shown

[steady canopy]

yeah

[scarlet sable]

how?

[steady canopy]

just adding another argument after the enum

[scarlet sable]

so origin is the entity source and mode is the enum

will that make input the input value?

wait no I think I've said smtg dumb

nvm I'm right lol

[jolly citrus]

does world.getDimension(dimensionId: string) expect dimensionId to always include a namespace? will it default to minecraft if i pass a parameter like overworld to it?

[steady canopy]

yeah basically

i'd recommend if you wanna have subgroups

Like different arguments for each enum

Use the namespace as the name of the command

example "camera:set" "camera:delete" "camera:whatever"

[jolly citrus]

Can anybody think of a scenario where the teleportation logic would not work as a viable anti for blockglitching?

/* PlayerBreakBlockBeforeEvent */
world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((event) => {
  const { itemStack, player, dimension, block } = event;

  const customPlayer = globalThis.GlobalCustomPlayers.get(player.id);
  if (!customPlayer) return;

  const permission = OverworldClaimManager.hasPermissionAtPosition(customPlayer, player.location, "break");
  if (permission) {
  } else {
    event.cancel = true;
    const oldTick = system.currentTick - 1;
    system.run(() => {
      const position = globalThis.PlayerPositionsCache.get(oldTick)?.get(player.id);
      if (position) player.teleport(position);
    });
  }
});

hopefully the variable names already hint enough at what they are, but globalThis.PlayerPositionsCache stores player locations from the last 20 ticks

i know you could technically disconnect yourself frfom the server temporarily to ensure no packets from the server reach you , but that doesn't really matter as you'd be teleported back anyway once you reconnect pretty sure

[cinder shadow]

why in the world does PlayerSelector for custom commands only give you a list of properties and entity id and not just the player

[lyric kestrel]

That seems very

[cinder shadow]

and there's no getPlayer call either

so I have to do getPlayers and then filter it based on id to get the selected player?

player.sendMessage(`${JSON.stringify(playerInfo)}`)
    player.sendMessage(`${playerInfo.id}`)``` ????/

oh wait

okay I fixed that one, it's an array, but still

I'm assuming there's some limitation where they don't want to send that much info if the selector were to include a lot of entities

[honest spear]

wdym?

[cinder shadow]

It doesn't return the actual entities being selected and only returns their id, typeId, and any properties on that entity

[honest spear]

Why do you think so?

try calling .teleport or some general method on it

do you use JSON.stringify to display objects?

keep in mind that JSON.stringify selects only instance properties not getters/setters

[cinder shadow]

ahh wait a minute 😭

I made a mistake

[rose light]

is there a way to get the damage of an entity without taking the damage?

I am making a shield addon, but I am having trouble defending the player's back because I am using damageSensor from the Behavior pack, and it blocks everything. So the alternative I thought of would be to apply artificial damage.

[round bone]

you have to calculate it on your own

no other solutions

[rose light]

there's no way, I thought of any other way, I couldn't find a solution

[round bone]

nope

[rose light]

[round bone]

no other ways

[jolly citrus]

can pressure plate interaction be cancelled

[amber granite]

Hallao

Does someone knows how to deal with fabrix ?

[halcyon phoenix]

afaik Nope you can't

[amber granite]

It s nice to see something made by your hands work

[dense skiff]

is there an event or other detection that triggers every tick a player uses an item?

There's itemUseAfterEvent ofc but that only triggers on the first press, not if the button is held

[vast grove]

Uhhhh itemUse in beforeEvent

[amber granite]

What u mean by button held ?

U mean mouse ? Left click ?

[wary edge]

PlyaerInteract

[dense skiff]

this is only while looking at blocks or entities right? I need this to trigger while looking at air still

[vast grove]

Not an event that exists. Only for 2 specific scenarios

[wary edge]

Oh you know what I meant.

🙄

[vast grove]

Doesn't the before event for itemUse trigger every tick? If not, why not just add it to a map and use a system.runInterval()

[dense skiff]

itemUse only triggers on the downpress

[vast grove]

Sooo use the workaround I said.
BeforeEvent -> add to map
AfterEvent -> Remove from map

[dense skiff]

Both the before and after event only trigger on the downpress

if there's no new event beyond the downpress a map & runInterval() will have nothing to do

[vast grove]

itemStopUse event exists

[dense skiff]

Ah I haven't seen that one before

That'll probably work, thanks

[vast grove]

Read the descriptions. There's a few stop use events

[dense skiff]

Actually it looks like that only triggers for chargable items

The other one is for interacting with blocks

[wary edge]

That's a #1067876857103536159 discussion. But the limit is there for performance reasons.

[plucky light]

Is there any timeline for client scripts?

[wary edge]

No.

[shut citrus]

so it will be limited by mojang

[wary edge]

Mojang sets the limit yes. You can choose to go over it, but be warned performance may degrade.

[shut citrus]

how can i go over it

[wary edge]

Wdym?

Again, you can choose to ignore the warning if you don't care about performance.

[plucky light]

Can we do custom effects at all?

[sterile epoch]

not officially but you can work around it with some effort

[plucky light]

are there any examples I can follow? or working packs I can use to work through?

[sterile epoch]

dunno

you can use system.currentTick to track the time of the potion, and store the effect + amplifier as a dynamic property

[sterile epoch]

here's an example

world.afterEvents.itemCompleteUse.subscribe(({ source: player, itemStack: item }) => {
  if (item.typeId == "example:potion") {
    const effectData = {
      effect: "idk",
      amplifier: 0,
      duration: system.currentTick + 20 * 60 * 3 // 3 mins
    };
    player.setDynamicProperty("potion", JSON.stringify(effectData));
  }
});

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    const data = player.getDynamicProperty("potion");
    if (!data) return;
    const potData = JSON.parse(data);
    const now = system.currentTick;
    const amplifier = potData.amplifier;
    if (now > potData.duration) player.setDynamicProperty("potion", null);
    if (amplifier == 0) {
      // ...
    } else if (amplifier == 1) {
      // ...
    }
  }
}, 5);

you'd obviously have to do a bit more if you wanted amplifiers and different potion durations but this is just an example

[plucky light]

thanks

[dense skiff]

Is there anywhere to get a map of block typeIds to their placement sound, or is this something I'll have to compile myself?

[slow walrus]

blocks.json in the bedrock samples

each entry has a "sound" field

[dense skiff]

Is that something we can pull into a pack dynamically or does it have to be copied

@slow walrus

Guessing copy

[slow walrus]

it's json so you'll need to parse it with something

[dense skiff]

Ofc. I'm asking if it has an import we can just use or if I have place a copy of the file in my BP

[slow walrus]

neither

it's a .json file

you can't import it in minecraft

you'll need to generate a .js file from it

[dense skiff]

Yeah I just ran into that lol

Alright, thanks

[worldly heath]

is there a way to detect click and holding a chargeable item

I've been using animation controllers before

[dense skiff]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0-beta.1.21.84-stable/classes/WorldBeforeEvents.html#itemuse & https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0-beta.1.21.84-stable/classes/WorldAfterEvents.html#itemstopuse
@worldly heath

[worldly heath]

should I use both itemstartuse and itemstopuse

const holders = new Set();

world.afterEvents.itemStartUse.subscribe(e => {
  if (e.itemStack?.typeId === "zzk:pow") holders.add(e.source);
});

world.afterEvents.itemStopUse.subscribe(e => {
  if (e.itemStack?.typeId === "zzk:pow") holders.delete(e.source);
});

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of holders) {
    testfunc(player)
  }
}, 1);

something like this does work ,is it an efficient way of doing it

[dense skiff]

Yes, that or something similar looks good to me if you have a chargable item

Btw do chargable items always have that pull back strechy animation? & do they always slow the player down

[prisma shard]

I guess not for custom chargeable items

I tried to make a bow, and it needs animations & other stuff to make the pull back & slow down

[jolly citrus]

is it possible to create a custom event that can be listened for in scripts which fires when you step on/off of a custom block?

[prisma shard]

OnStepOn event already exist for block custom compoenents

Either way you can make a custom event too.
You need to use map to trigger it only for one time, and use runInterval to detect every tick if standing on block, if it is standing on that block, trigger the event
You can make custom callback in a function like that
Pseudo code:

const a  = new Map()

function onStepOnCallback(blockTypeId, callback) {
system.runInterval() =>
  const b = {
  x: player.location.x,
 y: player.location.y - 1,
z: player.location
}
if (dimension.getBlock(b).typeId === blockTypeId) {
 a.set(true)
}
If (a is true) {
 callback()
}
}

Pseudo code cuz I'm typing on mobile

[jolly citrus]

yea but this'll take a pretty bad toll on performance at higher iteration counts (more players)

i'm trying to make a custom block that's like a vanilla pressure plate visually except by default it doesn't do anything

but i need something to listen for when the player steps on it

i dont need the actual redstone functionality of it tho cos im using this so that i would actually replace the fake pressure plate with a real one temporarily if a player has sufficient permissions

does the dimension property on PlayerBreakBlockBeforeEvent include the dimension namespace by default?

if i'm in the end for example will the value of it be minecraft:the_end

[woven loom]

yes?

[woven loom]

u can reduce to o(N) using a spatial search

[jolly citrus]

how would i implement a spatial search in this scenario

like checking if it's in any way possible for a player to be on top of one before checking?

[woven loom]

Map the players in an interval so that you do not have to test for each player in that tick. Not a dramatic improvement, but still

[scarlet sable]

Whats the bot command that checks for mistakes?

[jolly citrus]

it's not a command
right click your message with your script attached, apps -> debug scripts

assuming you meant the jayly bot's debugger in this server

[halcyon phoenix]

I'm trying to add costs for each item and blocks in the game, what other methond can I implement instead of making a dictionary of all item and adding a cost

[scarlet sable]

tysm

[jolly citrus]

Well you need to store the data somehow

How else are you expecting to store it

You can store it as tuples, in a map, literally anything but you still need to define them one way or another

[halcyon phoenix]

so making a directory is the only solution then welp good luck to me

where can I get all minecraft blocks

[jolly citrus]

well you can't really expect your script to just know what price you want to give certain blocks now, can you

depending on how you want to set it up you could for example define a default block price, or maybe define a price for blocks whose typeId match a certain condition eg. typeId => typeId.includes("log")

[halcyon phoenix]

yep thanks for yhe help, it's time to make a dictionary of blocks now

[uncut lynx]

does anybody have any simple mutex for ts/js?

like i dont want to download entire npm package just for mutex

[jolly citrus]

can custom permissions be set for players through scripts

[jolly citrus]

like customizing these options individually

[uncut lynx]

how can i make runJob utilize more tick time for the stuff?

[prisma shard]

what

[prisma shard]

idk maybe gamerule?

[jolly citrus]

code: https://pastebin.com/75y7yJSW

Someone explain how it is even possible for this to be saving the player names using the player IDs as the keys?? like how does it manage to save it both ways im so confused, im 99% sure im not saving inverse pairs of the two in globalThis.GlobalPlayerNames

log: https://pastebin.com/jS9hPb7e

[uncut lynx]

hey, so i am wondering whether different addons have different scripting tick space

[jolly citrus]

this isn't gamerule , this is for player perms

[uncut lynx]

i'd love to put animations onto different thread

[uncut lynx]

animation code slows down everythin else 100x

[uncut lynx]

okay screw it i am using 49 miliseconds out of available 50

[remote oyster]

That script isn’t the cause, something else is adding the playerId. The code you shared on Pastebin returns this instead:

return {
  success: true,
  summary: { totalPlayers, savedPlayers, ... },
  details: { saved: [...], failed: [...], chunks: [...] }
};

It doesn't include playerId at the top level, so the log you're seeing must be coming from another part of the codebase.

[pallid stag]

How do I make a block give damage like a magma block, but on a specific mob?

[uncut lynx]

onTick idk

[jolly citrus]

oh f my bad i sent the wrong log … but in the actual log i meant to sent, among the normal player names it also includes a log for each player id for some reason

like let’s say my player id would be -10

”iehl”: {
bytes: 95
},
”-10”: {
bytes: 95
}

it’d show both of these in the log somehow

OK it fixed itself now somehow

idk what happened

but it doesn't seem to occur in any new logs

[frozen vine]

Is it possible for me to detect that a mob has something in its mainhand?

[open urchin]

you have to use the testfor command

[frozen vine]

And how can I do it if I want to check that my mob doesn't have any items in its hand?

[rose light]

How do I run animation via script in the attachables?

 player.playAnimation("fire", {
           players: [player.name],
         });

Is it correct?

I'm trying to perform a shooting animation, when the entity shoots the weapon, perform this animation

[uncut lynx]

should i let my script take over the tick like to 200ms just to let my system be quicker

or keep 50ms limit???

[full idol]

What's the correct way to make a player invisible?

[valid ice]

Player.addEffect('invisibility' some other stuff)

[woven loom]

what does this do for ?

[full idol]

Ah thank you!

[plucky light]

How are dynamic player properties stored? Are there limits on each property and/or all property storage combined?

[shy leaf]

theyre stored in world (unique to pack's UUID), and iirc theres no limit on amount of DP, but theres prolly a limit on how much you can store in one

[small cloak]

There's a max string length and numbers are stored as floats.

The float thing matters if you're storing large numbers that need to be interpreted as an integer.

[prisma shard]

idk i got this from internet lol

[bold stratus]

    });

    console.warn("Gave zombie infinite Speed I.");
  }
});``` 

is this true? how to set up manifest for vanilla-data? minecraft 1.21.82

[sterile epoch]

you don't import vanilla data it's not a module it's intended to be copied into your scripts for use

but it's more effort you might as well just do "minecraft:zombie" and "minecraft:speed"

[bold stratus]

        entity.addEffect("minecraft:speed", {
            duration: 2147483647,
            amplifier: 0,
            showParticles: false

[tender pier]

Is there any way to recreate vanilla beds?

[wheat condor]

What’a the best way to obfuscate code in a way that is basically impossible to undo?

[woven loom]

not possible

[round bone]

not possible, also what's your purpose to do this?

[wheat condor]

adding the real links in my addons so no one can steal the work and claim as their

[halcyon phoenix]

obfuscate it so hard that it's so tedious to obfuscate it

[remote oyster]

Yea, save yourself the time and don't bother. Its not difficult to restore the code and make it readable again. Even if you wrote your own custom method it's still reversible because it always follows a pattern.

[halcyon phoenix]

do some enigma shenanigans

[wheat condor]

like does the method of filling the addon with a lot of useless files work?

[remote oyster]

Nope

[wheat condor]

are there tools to find the correct one?

[remote oyster]

Don't know, but I personally wouldn't need a tool to syphon out the useless files.

[wheat condor]

what if i add 200 folders with 300 useless files each one

[remote oyster]

Still too easy

Even on mobile.

[wheat condor]

even if they are all obfuscated?

[remote oyster]

I could run code to detect obfuscation patterns, then deobfuscate those files flagged. The rest would be dumped. After that it's a matter of trashing the useless ones by determining which files are not being exported and imported efficiently.

I can go further if need be. I'm sure others here can too.

[wheat condor]

so basically you can only add time to make it long process but not completely stop

[remote oyster]

JavaScript follows a set of rules. Validating that the rules are followed quickly rules out the useless junk.

[remote oyster]

Correct, you can delay access but the inevitable always happens. Its just a matter of how long.

Fwiw @wheat condor, not everyone has the understanding to deobfuscate. So for those individuals you would be protected against. So it's not an entirely large waste of time. Just no guarantee that some scum will not take your code and claim it lol.

[acoustic basin]

hey guys! how can i place a structure with structureManager if it's path is structures/folder0/folder1/structure.mcstructure? i've tried folder0:folder1/structure, but it doesn't work

structureManager runs on structures id not on folder path

you have to do /place

i just cant spawn them in when they're in unloaded chunks

getPlayers doesnt allow for that. Use dimension.getEntities

damn

why's it on the docs then lmao

Oh huh, then I guess it's similar to applyImpulse where it varies. Probably only a few Queries work.

[sterile epoch]

ah I see, interesting

[shy leaf]

yeah ig it does accept EntityQueryOptions but some are not used for reasons

and for World.getPlayers, location is unusuable probably because of dimensions

There's not really any official api for it. There is this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerinventoryitemchangeaftereventsignal?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental but idk if it detects attachments and it's still beta.

The only way I can think of is to store each player's current equipment state in a map and tick it. Otherwise you're most likely out of options.

[rigid torrent]

Do we know if it’ll be stable in 1.21.90?

[shy leaf]

half related but detecting hotbar change via interval is faster than hotbar change event in preview :sob;

[rigid torrent]

I need that with all of my heart

[wary edge]

That doesn't take into account armour as far as I know, nor offhand. Just the 27 inventory slot and hotbar.

[rigid torrent]

Very very sad

[halcyon phoenix]

is it not documented or does it not exists anymore?

[shy leaf]

which version

its deprecated in latest stable

[halcyon phoenix]

how do customComponents works nowadays?

[halcyon phoenix]

stable

[shy leaf]

uhhhh i think worldInitialize should be usable in v1 api

maybe tick the deprecated box on the right? if youre using jayly

[halcyon phoenix]

it shows up now thanks

why is worldInitialize deprecated?

[shy leaf]

its changed in v2

for afterEvents, its world.afterEvents.worldLoad

and for beforeEvents, its system.beforeEvents.startup

and the way how both works are a tiny bit different iirc

[halcyon phoenix]

so for customComponents worldLoad is now used?

[wary edge]

No, startup.

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

[halcyon phoenix]

how do you do customComps on stable right now?

[shy leaf]

for v1, nothing is changed

[wary edge]

Check the wiki.

[halcyon phoenix]

I see worldInitilize still works. I always check index.d.ts before using an event and I was wondering why worldinitialize wasn't there

welp beta it is

[shy leaf]

for whatever reason, they marked it as deprecated despite the fact that those are still usable on v1

[wary edge]

It's deprecated since it will be removed in 2.0

[shy leaf]

yeah

[wary edge]

Deprecated means we do not recommens using this.

[shy leaf]

ik that, im just saying that it can cause confusions like this

[halcyon phoenix]

it's fine I should've read deeper

and I am already using beta so it's fine

[shy leaf]

oh

on an unrelated note, instant health with modifier level of 255 (256) fires entityHurt event, and a huge negative... int? float? value as damage

this makes me wonder if this is a result of band-aiding a bug where giving an instant health effect with huuuuge modifier can kill entities by causing overflow

[halcyon phoenix]

Mojang is now band-aiding bugs instead of stitching them

[shy leaf]

well theyre devs too, band-aiding will work until someone finds it out

like how they band-aided a bug of hud animation speed

the entire hotbar has comically fast animations, especially hearts and hunger bars

they fixed super fast heart animations by slowing the speed of heart animation instead of fixing the comically fast animation speed

[halcyon phoenix]

hey, as long as it works

[shy leaf]

some parts are still broken 😭

like heart blinking animations

[halcyon phoenix]

I think they should just rebuild some stuff you know for the sake of stability.

[shy leaf]

well those are low priority in their list so i can understand the band aids

but jeez, sometimes i wish they looked inside deeper

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah and they are a big studio with microsoft backing it

I don't really know that much about professional game dev and scripting but in my experience when you have a script that has bugs it's best to stitch it properly rather than band-aid it as it can stack and it will end up as a bigger problem in the long run

[shy leaf]

yeah

(i cant imagine the pain of bedrock devs when a second combat update gets released)

[halcyon phoenix]

Lol

this doesn't work:

const playerItem = player.getComponent("equippable")?.getEquipment("Mainhand");

e.getComponent("equippable")?.setEquipment("mainhand", playerItem);

but this works:

e.runCommandAsync(`replaceitem entity @s slot.weapon.mainhand 0 minecraft:dirt);

what's the difference?

[vast grove]

Uuuuhhhh the first line is useless.

[halcyon phoenix]

whhhaat?

[vast grove]

Effectively you're setting the same item as what the player is holding...

So technically that first line is doing nothing.

[halcyon phoenix]

oh I forgot ot add e, e is a different entity

const shrine_slot = dimension.getEntities({
                type: "tm:shrine_slot",
                maxDistance: 1,
                location: blockCenter
            });

            shrine_slot.forEach((e) =>{
                console.warn("Swapped");
                e.getComponent("equippable")?.setEquipment("Mainhand", playerItem);
            });

[vast grove]

Oh. Yeah I read that wrong...

Did you test the variables and console warn any exceptions?

[halcyon phoenix]

nope no errors

when I interact no errors too

[halcyon phoenix]

 onPlayerInteract: (event) => {
            const { player, block, dimension, face, faceLocation } = event;
            const playerItem = player.getComponent("equippable")?.getEquipment("Mainhand");
            let blockCenter = block.center();

            blockCenter.y += 1;
            const shrine_slot = dimension.getEntities({
                type: "tm:shrine_slot",
                maxDistance: 1,
                location: blockCenter
            });
            shrine_slot.forEach((e) =>{
                if (e.typeId == "tm:shrine_slot") {
                    console.warn(playerItem.typeId);
                    e.getComponent("equippable")?.setEquipment("Mainhand", playerItem);
                };
            });
        },

it prints the playerItem id so the playerItem is good

oh lol

how do I make this exist in my entity?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_equippable?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

welp this exists

[halcyon phoenix]

still doesn't work somehow

[distant gulch]

Thx

[distant gulch]

No thank you

[halcyon phoenix]

do we have custom armor stand on dev resources?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[halcyon phoenix]

thanks

[prisma shard]

what this error "cannot change parameter during reload"

ok wtf so i gotta reload the whole world each time i tinker with the parameters???/

im making custom slash commands

ok so now how do i get the parameter's value inside the callback, where we execute things after the command ran?

[distant tulip]

yeah, the commands need to register during world load

[prisma shard]

@distant tulip

[round bone]

you have to use /reload all instead /reload after modifying custom commands registry

[prisma shard]

ok

[prisma shard]

but this ^ @round bone

[round bone]

next params in your function

[prisma shard]

next params??

what

[somber cedar]

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((init: StartupEvent) => {
    const helloCommand: CustomCommand = {
        optionalParameters: [
            { type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer, name: "celebrationSize" },
            { type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer, name: "celebrationSize2" },
            { type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer, name: "celebrationSize3" },
        ],

[dusky flicker]

how in hell in ts i do something like

class SomeHandler extends HandlerFor<WebComponent> {
  @MapEvent("click")
  f/*f automaticaly is typed as*/ sender: WebComponent, event: PointerEvent): void {}
}

class WebComponent extends BasisComponent {}

so when i create another method mapping event "keydown", it types the function as (sender: WebComponent, event:KeyboardEvent)=> void

where are the typescript lovers to help me now?

[woven loom]

u mean decorators?

[dusky flicker]

i mean typing with them

if i use @MapEvent("someventname") the second parameter must the be event that corresponds to that name passed on the decorator

[remote oyster]

interface EventMap {
  click: PointerEvent;
  keydown: KeyboardEvent;
  input: InputEvent;
  // add more as needed
}

function MapEvent<K extends keyof EventMap>(eventName: K) {
  return function <
    T extends WebComponent,
    U extends (sender: T, event: EventMap[K]) => void
  >(
    target: Object,
    propertyKey: string | symbol,
    descriptor: TypedPropertyDescriptor<U>
  ): void {};
}

[dusky flicker]

gpt gave me the same answer

i've already tested it

[sweet seal]

How to get accurate reach?

[woven loom]

??

[sweet seal]

I have a reach system but its very inaccurate and doesn't help detect cheaters

[remote oyster]

Checking reach is difficult because you use an afterEvent to monitor the behavior. So you have to take into account latency between the clients and the server, plus the fact that you are checking their positions after it has happened. So you have to do some predictions. You can use my script as a reference for ideas.

[mighty igloo]

any way to get the player icon and display it in an actionform?

[inland merlin]

their head, not really

[mighty igloo]

How can I get their head?

[inland merlin]

can't

as far as im aware

[mighty igloo]

Oddly enough ive seen addons that displayed the users character head icon in the chat

[jolly citrus]

download those addons and see how they do it

[mighty igloo]

maybe

I do not remember which addon I saw that did that.

[inland merlin]

hmm, that would most likely be a server then

rather then a world, or realm

[mighty igloo]

idk

[sly valve]

||H||||e||||l||||l||||o|||| ||||g||||u||||y||||s||

[mighty igloo]

I may have an idea

[sly valve]

You guys know some cool things I can do with Binary operators like ``| or & or >>>`

[wintry bane]

entity.setProperty("ex:arm", 0.5)

  "ex:arm": {
    "type": "float",
    "range": [0.0, 3.0],
    "default": 0.0
  }
}```

it doesn't work

wth

[sly valve]

Any errors?

[wary edge]

How are you verifying it?

[wintry bane]

I still get "0"

[wary edge]

setProperty takes 1 tick to apply, so does triggerEvent

[wintry bane]

I'll delay it

ok

[mighty igloo]

I got a question. I need a suggestion. What is a good command for a main ui. Im utilizing minecrafts custom commands because they have the autofill stuff in chat making it easier for users to find it. Plus I dont plan on releasing my addon until slash commands are released without namespaces. Anyway should I use /main, /server, idk

for now it would show up as /mcbepm:{command name}

since mcbepm is my namespace

[sly valve]

mcbepm:ui_main
mcbepm:ui
mcbepm:main_ui
mcbepm:uimain
mcbepm:mainui
mcbepm:openui

[mighty igloo]

hmm but for user friendly purposes its probably not best to put ui in the name. It would show publicly for all users. Thanks for the suggestions. Do you have any more?

[sly valve]

better namespaces maybe cc: (custom command?)
or hex: (because of your name

[mighty igloo]

well when the commands release the namespace wont be a problem. its just temporary

but as for the name of the command I have no idea

[sly valve]

whats the command purpose?

[remote oyster]

namespace:gui

[mighty igloo]

well it would be like a main ui for users to navigate from

it would show like daily rewards etc

[sly valve]

mcbepm:menu ?

[mighty igloo]

maybe

[sly valve]

mcbepm:pmenu ?
mcbepm:playermenu ?

[mighty igloo]

thats simple enough

alright ill probably just use menu

[sly valve]

mcbepm:acc
mcbepm:account

[mighty igloo]

thx

[sly valve]

maybe always add two variants, like menu and m (only if needed)

[mighty igloo]

hm

[sly valve]

but menu is aleady short, so no need to

[wheat condor]

new way to use world dynamic properties https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1382072758938112120

[steady canopy]

Have you tested if the shutdown event works even if the world crashes out of nowhere?

[wheat condor]

nope

[steady canopy]

You should test it and tell me

If it doesn't it isn't a good idea to save the dps on shutdown event

[wheat condor]

nope it doesnt

doesnt save

[wheat condor]

closing the app making it crash is not meant to be played

like its a bug not an actual thing

[steady canopy]

yeah if it's not being saved when it crashes then it's better to save the dps on runtime

[wheat condor]

maybe doing a runinterval every minute to save it would be the the best

[violet harbor]

hellooo guys, is there a way to make a climbable vine block, like the ones in vanilla?

[distant gulch]

Its the first time im using chat gpt

And he made me a battle pass

First try

Im scared

Last time i tried(6 months ago) he was giving me scripts with 10 errors per line

[silver agate]

For some reason my code for removing player mainhand item if they is not on creative is not working
Code:
if (!creative) player.runCommandAsync(`clear ${player.nameTag} ${itemId} 1`);

Creative Const:
const creative = player.matches({ gameMode: GameMode.creative });

Also, i will send the full code, if someone wants to have a closer viee

[dusky flicker]

a lot of stuff

i dont know what to mention, but generaly theyre used to simply make things faster

like, if you got an array of booleans, you could simply store it all in a number

like [true, false, true] could be understood as 101 which is 5 in binary

so instead of 24 bytes(1 boolean = 1byte) you understand it as 4bytes(default in js if number < 2^31)

everything bit operations do is just do the same but faster

and generally, very faster

[sly valve]

Nice, ty

Luv u

Thats actually smart

[sly valve]

So i could do 1101 for true, true, false, false.
And how'd I check like the last or the first Bit value

[dusky flicker]

using << and >> and &

[sly valve]

Sorry but can you show me an examle

[dusky flicker]

M << N returns Q where Q is M but N bits to the left, same with >>, but that is for the right.
In understandable words,
101 << 2 == 10100

[sly valve]

Hmmm

[dusky flicker]

so if you got
110, to check if the second one is 1, just do

110 & (1 << 1) == 010

1 << 1 == 10
110 & 10 = 010

to know if the nth bit of a number is 1 just do N & (1 << N) == 1 << N, or simply check if not 0

[sly valve]

Binary operations are insane

[dusky flicker]

i do like this N & (1 << N) == 1 << N because of code i've seen in C

to set is using |, because 1 | 0 = 1, 1 | 1 = 1, 0 | 0 = 0

so to set the nth bit of a number to be 1, just do
Q | (1 << N)

[sly valve]

Can you show me an example how to find out from a nth. position in the bin, if its true or false, somehow i cant get this in my brain

Bin stuff is too much

[dusky flicker]

for that you need some kind of pattern

for example

lets suppose i need just to store values between 0 and 15

obviously i dont need 1 byte for so. lets say i need 2

0 ~ 15 is 4 bits

so i could save these 2 in the same number

where 0bXXXXYYYY X are the bits of the first number, Y of the second number

so to get the first, i can do
const ACTUAL_VALUE = ...

const highest_number = ACTUAL_VALUE >> 4;
const lowest_number = ACTUAL_VALUE & 0b1111;

the 'highest' do
0bXXXXYYYY >> 4 -> 0b0000XXXX

the 'lowest' do
0bXXXXYYYY & 0b00001111 -> 0b0000YYYY

if i need a list of 8 flags, for example

normally what people do i store it on a enum or something like that

[sly valve]

btw >> does
a >> b === a * b² ? Or was it dividing

[dusky flicker]

shifts a by b bits to right

1010 >> 1 = 101

[sly valve]

so
1100 >> 2 = 0011?

[dusky flicker]

yeah

[sly valve]

And
1100 << 2 = 0000?

[dusky flicker]

no, only if the 2 first bits are 1

if its 11000000, yeah

because it gets out of bounds

and that supposing a single byte

like, supposing a u8(unsigned byte)
11000000 << 1 will overflow, so theres no way to move it, so 0 is placed

if it was u16
000000001100000000 << 1 still has space, so as it aint overflow, no 0 is going to be placed

and the bits will be just moved

the same logic for >>

[sly valve]

So 1100 << 1 wont eork

But 0100 << 1 will?

[dusky flicker]

both will, both are less than 1byte

supposing that the limit is 4bits, 1100 << 1 will be 1000

[sly valve]

As far as i know, >> or << is shifting the bins by n, like 12 << 1 shifts the binary pattern of 12 by 2 to the left, right?

[dusky flicker]

it shifts 12 by 1 to the left

12 in binary is 1100, shifting this by 1 is 11000

which is 24

but yeah, the logic is right

sorry if something got confused, bitwise operations are confuse and i dont speak english natively so its hard for me to explain

[sly valve]

Mb , i didnt see that i said "by 2"

[amber granite]

Hello overyone

I said hello :-:

let state = IS_ACTIVE

if (state & IS_ACTIVE) { ... }

?

Why did u use binary._. ?

[sly valve]

Because its powerful

[thorn flicker]

hello

[silver agate]

.

[sly valve]

Doest Player.getGameMode() exists already?

[amber granite]

Yet !

Yet ,__,

What do u mean by yet ?

I just know this method lol

I'm still pretty new to scripting btw

Why are Minecraft java mods are not enjoyable anymore

[thorn flicker]

not everyone feels that way

[dusky flicker]

it will result in 1

yeah, its valid

[amber granite]

Yes it is

[thorn flicker]

what

[dawn zealot]

can i redirect a player from a world onto a bds server?

[distant tulip]

that feel trippy

[vast grove]

If you're able to access the server-admin module then you should be able to. Afaik this is enabled by default on BDS and Realms so it should apply to regular worlds since well they're essentially just a BDS running in the background.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server-admin/minecraft-server-admin?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental#transferplayer

[dawn zealot]

i figured itout already

but ty

and yes u can transfer from worlds to servers

[mighty igloo]

should I use the same dynamic property for everything?

[vast grove]

Uuuuuuhhhh I don't think it matters but probably no. Cuz if you load a massive DP then that's gonna cause some issues.

[mighty igloo]

So I should have them seperately or not?

[valid ice]

Separate would be better… just save with the key being player ID or something, still gettable when the player is offline, so you’re fine

[violet harbor]

Does anyone know how to make a block apply an effect to the player when the player touches the block? Like slowness for example...?

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me...

[safe stream]

you could check for the block type under the player's position with getBlock()

and from there you do your if/switch logic

[violet harbor]

It was a bit tricky to make, but I’ve already managed to get it done :)

[safe stream]

woo!!

[chrome gyro]

Any ideas on how to test if a number is even versus odd?

[vast grove]

const even = number % 2 === 0

[chrome gyro]

What the what??? is % a Maths test I never heard of? Thank you!

[vast grove]

Modulo. Divides and gets the remainder iirc

[chrome gyro]

Awesome, that's good to know. thanks again.

[nova flame]

anyone know how i would make a actionFormData UI with randomised buttons

like i wanna have random button displays and functions chosen from some sort of array i have set up but idk how i would do it

[vast grove]

const actionForm = new ActionFormData();
const months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July"];

const random = Math.floor(Math.random() * months.length);
const value = months[random];
actionForm.button(value);

[halcyon phoenix]

what's the major difference of onRandomTick and onTick?

[wary edge]

Random is random ontick ticks every x intervak defined in the JSON.

[halcyon phoenix]

how random is random? wht is it based on?

[wary edge]

Its based on random tick mechanic.
