Script API General

[ripe dune]

world.sendMessage(`${o.message.match(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g) === null}`)

[halcyon phoenix]

did they change the OnPlayerDestroy() customComponents on blocks?

[ripe dune]

this is a better way lol

[chrome gyro]

Perfect, it's working now, sorry had a lot to convert over to that method before I could test what i did wrong.

[halcyon phoenix]

Thanks Sprunkles

[ripe dune]

/[a-zA-Z0-9]/.test(message)

it returns true false so better ig

[chrome gyro]

Oh haha ok, I'll use that then. does it really take up more memory?

[halcyon phoenix]

my OnPlayerDestroy doesn't get triggered somehow

[ripe dune]

idk but i think its alot better

[chrome gyro]

K, it definitly looks simpler. Thanks again!

[ripe dune]

yup

[ripe dune]

onPlayerBreak i think

[halcyon phoenix]

lemme try

it works thanks

[sly valve]

Anyone got better docs than the Microsoft ones?
Need it for Behavior and Resource packs

[valid ice]

Bedrock samples?

[final ocean]

How to make 2 different server_from parts not conflict and cause errors

[sly valve]

I meant more doc-like, not juet pure data without any comments or explaination how to use it

[valid ice]

Unless you’ve already checked https://bedrock.dev I don’t have any suggestions

[sly valve]

Thanks, seems to be a good Site

[woven loom]

Jayly's doc have examples

[halcyon phoenix]

Imagine putting runInterval inside OnTick, could be me.

[round bone]

onPlayerBreak

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

[round bone]

Please, do not do it

😭

Unless you'll clear it

[distant gulch]

Can i import textures in a behavior?

I saw someone do it

[halcyon phoenix]

manipulating the itemstack.amouny doesn't work somehow

it still prints the amount

playerItem.amount - 2;
sc.print(playerItem.amount)
                    playerEquippable.setEquipment("Mainhand", playerItem);

nothing changes somehow

[vast grove]

Problem. You didn't actually set it

[halcyon phoenix]

what did I miss?

[vast grove]

Use -=

[halcyon phoenix]

OH LOL

rookie mistake again

that's strike 2 of today

thanks

[vast grove]

small shit

Big problems. Computers are either easy or insanely hard

[halcyon phoenix]

I solve tons of big problems in this code yet I can't even spot this kind of issues

[halcyon phoenix]

exactly

[full idol]

I'm guessing the debugger can't be used on realms?

[vast grove]

Nope

[full idol]

RIP

I have a realm that's lagging massively and I'm not sure if it's the addon

1 player out of 10 and it's getting like 5 TPS

[vast grove]

Have ya tried downloading the world?

And then running it locally

[full idol]

The addon works fine locally, I assume it is just bad servers. The world file can't be downloaded as it's too big

[vast grove]

Bedrock shit then

[night acorn]

is there a way to run a command as the server instead of a player?

like world.runCommand() or smth

[woven loom]

world.getDimension('overworld').runCommand()

[night acorn]

ok

[distant tulip]

if you already have the player reference it is better to do player.dimension.runCommand

[fathom hemlock]

is there a way to modify a chest without replacing it?

[worldly heath]

where can i find documentation for world dynamic properties

also is worldinitialise depriciated?

[round bone]

do you mean a container of a chest?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/blockinventorycomponent?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[fathom hemlock]

question is there a event that checks if someone takes a item from the gound (pickup a item)

or replacement

[round bone]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1357021344457424967

try using it

if (valid) {
    // your code
}

[fathom hemlock]

thx dude

[round bone]

👍

[stark kestrel]

Is it possible to get block broken % or smth?

Like how much is it broken

AND also when a player stopped mining it

[woven loom]

try item events

[twilit sky]

There's also this new event in 2.1.0-beta: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerinventoryitemchangeaftereventsignal?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental

It should be in the latest update (1.21.90); I believe it's coming to stable in the next update (1.21.100).

[fathom hemlock]

thx

[safe stream]

2.0.0 is out ??

[wary edge]

Yes.

[safe stream]

hell yeah

[valid ice]

anyone know why doing this:

const entity = world.overworld.spawnEntity('f8:raycast', location);
entity.setProperty('f8:active', true);

does not set the property to the entity? It sets correctly if I dimension.getEntities() and set it in there, but not with the Entity class off the dimension.spawnEntity

[wary edge]

How are you verifying it?

[valid ice]

    world.overworld.getEntities({ type: 'f8:raycast' }).forEach(ent => { 
        console.warn(ent.getProperty('f8:active'))
    })

just spamming false in console

if I set it in the forEach it updates as expected

[wary edge]

Setproperty takes 1 tick to apply.

[valid ice]

yes

I know

That's not the issue

[wary edge]

I've never had this issue, I setproperty and it applies. Verified via client sync.

For console.warn I usually waitTicks(1) then verify.

[valid ice]

I'm setting the property in a separate function altogether, it has nothing to do with it applying the property change next tick

The forEach console log is only to verify the properties and is being ran in a runInterval

[wary edge]

Ah I see, I assumed the two code were being ran in succession.

[valid ice]

system.runInterval(() => {
    world.overworld.getEntities({ type: 'f8:raycast' }).forEach(ent => {
        console.warn(ent.getProperty('f8:active'))
    })
})

const entity = world.overworld.spawnEntity('f8:raycast', { x: -5994.5, y: 64, z: -5998.5 });
system.runTimeout(() => {
    entity.setProperty('f8:active', true);
}, 1);

Pretty much just this

And it's just

I tried system.waitTicks as well, it did not change

[wary edge]

Was this an issue in previous versions?

[valid ice]

dunno

I didn't have this code on previous versions

[knotty plaza]

Maybe your minecraft:entity_spawned event is setting the property to false?

[valid ice]

Don't even have that event in the entity code

[knotty plaza]

Maybe another interval is setting it?

[sharp elbow]

I would defer in acquiring the entity using EntityLoadAfterEvent.

[sterile epoch]

was the .isOp method removed in 2.1.0-beta? It was working in 2.0.0-beta

[sharp elbow]

@valid ice May this be something you can adapt?

export function onEntityLoad(id, callback) {
  const handler = world.afterEvents.entityLoad.subscribe(function cb(arg) {
    if (!arg.entity.typeId != id) return;
    callback(entity);
    world.afterEvents.entityLoad.unsubscribe(handler);
  });
}

world.overworld.spawnEntity('f8:raycast', { x: -5994.5, y: 64, z: -5998.5 });
onEntityLoad('f8:raycast', (entity) => {
  entity.setProperty('f8:active', true);
});

Want to unsubscribe from it after, of course

[wary edge]

EntityLoad has never worked properly for me. I would use EntitySpawn.

[valid ice]

There’s definitely workarounds I can do to get it functioning, I’m just unsure of why it refuses to set in the first place

[sharp elbow]

Perhaps just a flaw. Or a quirk with properties specifically.

[distant tulip]

Yes, use
player.playerPermissionLevel

[sharp elbow]

Go with the silly workaround for now, then report that as a bug to whomever/wherever it is most appropriate to

[knotty plaza]

I think that one only works when the entity was in an unloaded chunk

[sharp elbow]

Could be that I'm used to using EntityLoad with structures. I have not tried such a system with Dimension.spawnEntity

[distant tulip]

iirc it works in both cases

[wary edge]

Nope, doesn't work as well.

[sterile epoch]

thanks

[sharp elbow]

Seems to work OK for me with structures. I use structures to spawn AOE clouds, then use the technique I mentioned to get a reference to the summoned entity.

[abstract cave]

for some reason i cant get an entities location when i use player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection

can anyone help me with this?

[sullen ocean]

/something/ is a regular expression literal. It is almost the same as using the global RegExp() to make one.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp
NOTE: Some things on that site will not work due to being removed for security reasons, or they don't apply / were not added.

https://regex101.com/
This site helps with testing if a Regular Expression pattern is valid. You can also use it to help with testing that it is working as intended.
NOTE: Remember to select the "ECMAScript (JavaScript)" flavor before you start. (Also note that some stuff might not work with the Scripting API).

[chrome gyro]

Awesome, thank you for your reply, I’ll look into all this when I have time to code again.

[sullen ocean]

If it will never change, use the literal syntax.

[chrome gyro]

This is a naming system using modal not a custom command, I think that’s what you mean right? I’m still very inexperienced I only started with script a few months back so hopefully I understand you correctly.

[sullen ocean]

just like how 123 is a number literal and "omg" is a string literal...

[chrome gyro]

Oh ok, I think I got you correctly. Rather than sending through a filter like [^0-9]?

[sullen ocean]

?

That is a regular expression pattern

It isn't exactly a "filter".

[chrome gyro]

Gotcha, but those are opposite right? The regular expression pattern is the opposite of a literal string?

mssg.match([^0-9])

[sullen ocean]

[^0-9] is invalid JavaScript.

[chrome gyro]

Oh uh, 🤔 I think I need to learn more lingo to have this conversation haha.

[sullen ocean]

A regular expression pattern must be surrouneded by / characters:

/[^0-9]/  // that is a regular expression literal.
'foo'  // that is a string literal
"bar"  // this is also a string literal

// This creates a variable named `first_name` and
// points it to the area in memory holding the string
// with the value of `Billy`
let first_name = 'Billy';

// Similar but instead points to the area in memory
// holding the object instance for the regular
// expression (with the pattern shown inside it).
let pattern = /^[0-9a-zA-Z]+$/;

// Both of the following two lines are the same.
result = first_name.match(pattern);
result = pattern.exec(first_name);

[woven loom]

whats popin

[sullen ocean]

Not much

[sullen ocean]

@chrome gyro (see what I am "replying" to here... I forgot to ping you in it).

[chrome gyro]

Got it, oh wow, ok thank you for putting that together. Sorry at work, I don’t have a lot of free time to read just a few minutes here and there.

[sullen ocean]

This only tests if the pattern was found or not. Use if it you are not going to take specific parts out of the string that the regular expression matched against.

REGULAR_EXPRESSION.test(STRING)

These always create a new Array if it succeeded.

STRING.match(REGULAR_EXPRESSION)
REGULAR_EXPRESSION.exec(STRING)

[sullen ocean]

^ In case you already turned your phone off.

[chrome gyro]

Ok I think I get it now. It’s only a test for failure, so I’m probably better off using the .test() that way it doesn’t create a new array right?

Does it delete the array after the exec / match?

[sullen ocean]

Yes, but it may take a moment for the JavaScript engine to actually remove it from memory.

[chrome gyro]

Ok, awesome. so it does cost more, and shouldn’t be used in a repeated every tick or something, but for a one time test probably is ok. Thank you for your detailed responses!!

[sullen ocean]

Using a regular expression object's test method is more ideal if you only want to test if it matches some criteria.

But why test every tick?

I don't think you should be testing it every tick unless you are trying to debug why something is broken.

[jagged gazelle]

Guys

[sullen ocean]

If you have a question, just ask the question.

[jagged gazelle]

Uhm I know it's literally "Coddy"

Anyways, is the face location bugged?

[sullen ocean]

Are you expecting it to be somewhere it isn't?

[wary edge]

What happened to your old account?

[jagged gazelle]

MFA lmao

I lost my codes

[chrome gyro]

I just mean hypothetically you wouldn’t ever want to do that since it would be so costy.

[sullen ocean]

2FA? ....

[chrome gyro]

Whaaat? Hmm.

[jagged gazelle]

Multi factor authentication...

[jagged gazelle]

wait I'll send later after eating or if I found codes... Fvk

[sullen ocean]

The more common term is Two-Factor Authentication or 2FA for short.

[jagged gazelle]

Okie but idc lmao

[sullen ocean]

Mainly was directed towards those who didn't understand what you meant

[chrome gyro]

😢 thats probably really bad, sorry.

[sullen ocean]

It is, especially if your email is locked behind it as well.

[distant tulip]

is this what are you referring to?

[jagged gazelle]

yes but it some location of the block it works but when place in some it's broken asf.

You can't tell me my script is broken if my script is literally small asf

And I rarely make broken script 😭

[sullen ocean]

Assuming you are using the player's face, have you tried to add the value to the player's coordinates?

[jagged gazelle]

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

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ev, { block, blockFace, faceLocation } = ev) => {
  if (blockFace !== 'Up' || block.typeId !== 'minecraft:furnace') return;

  ev.cancel = true;

  const dir = block.permutation.getState('minecraft:cardinal_direction');
  let { x: fx, z: fz } = faceLocation;

  if (dir === 'east') [fx, fz] = [1 - fz, fx];
  else if (dir === 'south') [fx, fz] = [1 - fx, 1 - fx]
  else if (dir === 'west') [fx, fz] = [fz, 1 - fx];
  // else {}

  const cell = `${String.fromCharCode(65 + Math.floor(fx * 8))}${Math.floor(fz * 8) + 1}`;
  console.error(cell);
});```

[distant tulip]

maybe share your code and the problem you are facing

[jagged gazelle]

I'm trying to send a vid if my discord isn't ass rn

[sullen ocean]

Either too large of a file, or it is taking a while to scan

[wary edge]

Are you using 2.0.0?

[jagged gazelle]

yep, 2.2.0-beta

[jagged gazelle]

Here....

Like wtf?

[sullen ocean]

Why are you not also outputting the coordinates in your "error"s you are making?

[jagged gazelle]

and you think I didn't do that?

[sullen ocean]

as in the coordinates you are using after the calculations.

(and before)

[jagged gazelle]

Wait I'll be dealing with my 2fa

[sullen ocean]

You were only showing a letter and number... nothing else

[distant tulip]

weird
why is that not the same in all locations

[jagged gazelle]

not shown yes not doing it no.

[jagged gazelle]

Right?

Bruh, wait.

[untold garnet]

can we remove the namespace of the custom command now?

[distant tulip]

you can use them and if they are unique, they appear without a namespace

[untold garnet]

i see

thanks

[distant tulip]

shouldn't this be different? or is it local based but not based on the block origin

actually no, @jagged gazelle there is your answer

it is not based on the block origin

the video you sent is of blocks in different zones +x +z and -x -z

and that is why they are different

[jagged gazelle]

Ohhh damn.

Okk I didn't fully understand the docs, my reading comprehension is bad

[jagged gazelle]

thanks man. I'll try that later after finishing this 2fa

[distant tulip]

this is basically what you are doing with the 1 - xy
you can see how it is wrong in the -axes

[distant tulip]

np

[dusky flicker]

its heavy

generally regex its heavy as hell

its not good for performance stuff

and nobody understands this shit

[jagged gazelle]

I love regex, I spend a whole 2 months understanding them

Bonus? I lost my mind. I hate it.

[dusky flicker]

its preferred to simply avoid them

[dusky flicker]

i understand bro

when i see some code right regex i simply skip that part

[distant tulip]

depend, not going to use it for a simple check
but depending on your way of handling complex tests, it can be way faster

[dusky flicker]

i dont know what a regex engine does under the hood but probably is some kind of tokenization

[jagged gazelle]

Especially texts.

They are so handy.

[distant tulip]

true

i would use includes and startsWith and other simple stuff when i can, but stick to using regex for complex matching patterns

[jagged gazelle]

My mood is pretty good rn that's why I'm back here lol

-# off topic 😆

[distant tulip]

great to have you back haha
hope things stay that way for you, i mean shit happen but that is life for you

[dusky flicker]

im getting the habit to check stuff by using charCodeAt,

if theyre single char for sure

normally i prefer writing tokenizers when talking about more complex pattern

but usually the patterns i tend to make arent human readable

so regex is not an option

[distant tulip]

yeah, it depend on you use case, string[index] work too

[dusky flicker]

it's more readable but if you see some optimization tricks on v8, comparing by string normally is not a good idea for performance

[distant tulip]

haven't tested out the performance of those so i can't really tell
i will take your word for it lol

[dusky flicker]

i think i still got something on my browser history

[distant tulip]

charAt and charCodeAt
any different?

[dusky flicker]

i think charPointAt

something like that

charCodeAt gets the u16 value of the character

[chrome gyro]

Katie mentioned that too. It should be ok for my purposes. It will only be for a little bit that coincides with closing a ui. I’ll just use the better method going forward.

[distant tulip]

i assume charCodeAt return a unicode?

[dusky flicker]

you mean the number?

if so yeah

it gets the underlying number for that character in utf16

[distant tulip]

alright

[dusky flicker]

why the hell is discord so buggy on cellphone?

damn

[jagged gazelle]

always been.

bloating in searching too

[valid ice]

@wary edge @sharp elbow Apparently the issue was the delay in the function.. doing spawnEntity and then setProperty in the same tick does set the property, but delaying setProperty does not set it. I tried recreating it in a bugtest pack, but it worked... seems like something weird with my codebase.

Hi, my command fails to detect that when the targetcamps is at 1 or 2 it displays its camp

    }

    // Vérifier le cooldown

    // Trouver le joueur ciblé
    const targetPlayer = world.getAllPlayers().find(p => p.name.toLowerCase() === arg.toLowerCase());
    if (!targetPlayer) return player.sendMessage(`§cJoueur "${arg}" introuvable ou hors ligne !`);

    // Récupérer le camp du joueur ciblé (pas du scanner)
    const targetCamps = f.getScore("camps", `${targetPlayer}`, true);

    // Ajouter le tag scanner
    player.runCommand(`tag "${player.name}" add scanner`);

    // Déterminer le message selon le camp
    let campMessage = "";
    if (targetCamps == 1 || targetCamps == 3) {
        campMessage = "§qGentil§e";
    } else if (targetCamps == 2) {
        campMessage = "§4Méchant§e";
    } else {
        campMessage = "§7Inconnu§e";
    }

    // Envoyer le résultat
    player.sendMessage(`§eVous venez de scanner ${targetPlayer.name} et il est ${campMessage}. Désormais vous pourriez le scanner à nouveau dans 2 Jours`);
    
    // Appliquer le cooldown et retirer le tag
    player.runCommand(`scoreboard players set @s cooldown 2`);
    player.runCommand(`tag "${player.name}" remove scanner`);
}```

could someone help me please

[valid ice]

what is "f", and the getScore() takes the player first, not the objective

If "f" is the score objective, you need the player/entity as the first parameter, as the objective is built into the "f"

gotcha

Swap your objective & player, in that case

const targetCamps = f.getScore(targetPlayer, "camps", true);

Assuming that you are importing as f

[shut vessel]

[woven loom]

@random ibex ask in here

[random ibex]

thanks

Can someone help me make a script so that a player cannot exit the game during a battle?

[woven loom]

Is that even possible

[jagged gazelle]

I don't think so.

Leaving the world is something you can't stop rn.

[valid ice]

you can punish the player upon logging back in

or, something more advanced that I did recently, was spawn an unmoving gametest bot in their place and copy over their player data, so if they log out the bot has to be consciously killed

[halcyon phoenix]

what's a gametest?

[valid ice]

@minecraft/server-gametest module; lets you run unit tests on certain game mechanics. Not terribly useful, but the simulated players in the module are a carbon copy of actual players in-game and let you play with and set their AI.

[sharp elbow]

That is pretty clever

[valid ice]

It also removes the simulated player after 10 seconds, so if they have not been killed by then they've successfully "logged out" regardless of where they are or what their health was at the time (hitting them resets the timer)

[halcyon phoenix]

that's interesting, ima look into it, thanks for the info.

[woven loom]

what about structure

[halcyon phoenix]

hello again people I need some suggestion on how to do this:

OnTick:
function sspawn entity after 5 seconds
function spawn entity after 2 seconds

however there is a conflict with the timer variable im using, what's one way to make a unique timer for each?

[vast grove]

Use a map and store each timer separately via a manager class or something

[halcyon phoenix]

manager class?

[vast grove]

Yeah. Like a timer manager class

[valid ice]

tick every second, run something every 2nd tick, run something else every 5th tick

in-code counter to store current ticker

[vast grove]

You could also just use system.runInterval() with the delay

[wary edge]

Or have two ontick custom components

Not even that, system.currentTick % 2

Theres multiple ways to handke thism

[cinder shadow]

darn. thought we had localization strings available for custom command description and parameter names

Idk how extensions work in JS. I'm a noob :/

Actually imma look it up

[marsh pebble]

const formatTime = (milliseconds) => ({
    days: Math.floor(milliseconds / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)),
    hours: Math.floor((milliseconds / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24),
    minutes: Math.floor((milliseconds / (1000 * 60)) % 60),
    seconds: Math.floor((milliseconds / 1000) % 60),
});

fix?

[valid ice]

super easy, barely an inconvenience

[chrome gyro]

I could see that, does it really cost that much though?

[valid ice]

The trick lies in the .d.ts file, because js does not give one iota about what you're changing

-# typescript, on the other hand...

[vast grove]

You could try profiling it. E.g. start a timer, execute the function once then print the time it took

[chrome gyro]

I'll have to look into doing that, good idea, it would be helpful to know for optimizing. Still a bit new though, so it might be a little bit. Thanks!

[vast grove]

You can do

const start = Date.now();
RunFunction();
console.warn(Date.now() - start);

[marsh pebble]

@vast grove please block me

[vast grove]

No. I'll just use the ignore button

[chrome gyro]

Really, it would be that simple? It would show a time distortion somehow.

[marsh pebble]

ok i'll block you

[chrome gyro]

Interesting.

[vast grove]

Yeah. It'll show in ms

The difference

[chrome gyro]

Too many 60s

[marsh pebble]

wdym it works

[marsh pebble]

function addItems(player, items) {
    system.run(() => {
        try {
            const inv = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
            for (let [item, count, enchants] of items) {
                const itemStack = new ItemStack(item, count);
                if (enchants && enchants.length > 0) {
                    const enchantComp = itemStack.getComponent(
                        "minecraft:enchantments"
                    ).enchantments;
                    for (const enchant of enchants)
                        enchantComp.addEnchantment(enchant);
                    itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:enchantments").enchantments =
                        enchantComp;
                }
                inv.addItem(itemStack);
            }
        } catch (error) {
            console.log("inventory", error);
        }
    });
}```

[chrome gyro]

Ooooh cool, thanks!

[marsh pebble]

@chrome gyro

[valid ice]

Example of some extensions:

[vast grove]

I looked it up. Looks fairly simple but a bit more effort than what I am used to :/

[valid ice]

Adds a few things to Entity class, and by extension Player class, as well as adds some stuff to native js modules

[chrome gyro]

😂 I say this, but I just went back and looked and I have it in 15 different places lol.

[valid ice]

Me when micro-optimizations but they're for MC modules

[chrome gyro]

Is there a way to do a memory dump once the load gets to be too much? I'm probably not saying that correctly, hopefully that makes sense.

[valid ice]

huh

[vast grove]

JS is scripted and there's no real manual memory alloc like low level lanuages so really the only way to dump memory is to basically dereference stuff.

[chrome gyro]

Aw man, ok. thanks again.

[vast grove]

One way to improve memory management is to reuse stuff like object pooling

Or even caching

And then reducing API calls is another mc specific optimisation

[chrome gyro]

That's a good idea, I think I've done as much of that as I could though. I've consolidated a lot of variables... not sure I can get that down anymore... I think I added too many variable haha.

[chrome gyro]

what's an API call?

[valid ice]

If you're using a server, I'd recommend a daily restart to clean up unfound script garbage

Even if not BDS, it's good practice to perform a daily restart

[vast grove]

Something like world.getDimension(); is an api call. Something like Date.now() is not an api call since it's native java

So any function you call that is part of the MC types is an api call, some of the properties/members are api calls too for some reason...

[chrome gyro]

Interesting I didn't know that was possible. This is an addon I"m working on, unfortunately it's entity based so I'm trying to optimize that as much as possible.

[chrome gyro]

Oooh ok, something that grabs a variable from Mojang?

[vast grove]

Eeehhh yeah most things are an api call. Some aren't cuz they are constants iirc.

[valid ice]

This. Almost all (all of?) the script API calls are extremely slow compared to native JS methods, so caching data is generally a better choice

[vast grove]

That

[chrome gyro]

Ooooh that that.

[valid ice]

Native JS calls are extremely efficient, being a language that has been worked on for many many years, so micro-optimizations in that area easily pale in comparison to those in script API

[chrome gyro]

I used scoreboards to store a lot of the variables, I think the issue is calling them back to do the thing.

Native JS calls, ok I'll have to look into the differences between them then.

[valid ice]

Generally don't worry about native calls

Those are pretty dang efficient

[vast grove]

Apparently Entity.position is an api call

Idk. Inconsistencies. Should make it so any api call is a function, not a property or member

[valid ice]

One thing I do for scoreboards, where I use them, is:

const objDB = {};
setScore:
  const scoreObj = objDB[objective] ??= world.scoreboard.getObjective(objective);
getScore:
  (objDB[objective] ??= world.scoreboard.getObjective(objective))?.getScore(this) ?? 0;

TLDR just caching the ScoreboardObjective class used to retrieve values

[valid ice]

Mfw .isValid() -> .isValid

[chrome gyro]

Yes! I've relied heavily on that method for this addon, I threw it into a function though so I can get the common 15 scores that I keep needing to grab.

[valid ice]

Speedy!

[vast grove]

A what now?

[valid ice]

better than retrieving score every time

[valid ice]

They made isValid for blocks, items, entities, dimension, location, etc. a property rather than method

[vast grove]

Bruuuuhhhh

[valid ice]

[chrome gyro]

Yeah, plus if I do an update, I only have to change it in one place.

[vast grove]

What the hell is going on...

With the api

Or the team

What standard are they following

[valid ice]

And yet here we are complaining on Discord, the best coded website of all time™

I love modern ~~web ~~dev

[vast grove]

Makes sense. I was thinking more of coffee with 10x caffeine

[chrome gyro]

-Preworkout-

[chrome gyro]

Basically this stuff.

[chrome gyro]

Each entity rn has a 5 ms delay when ran at full speed which is every tick. Is that bad? Every time I add an entity it ups by 5 ms. After about 20 it starts to make things like throwing items slow significantly.

[vast grove]

Oh yeah that's not great...

[chrome gyro]

Hmmm I'm tempted to add a cap on ticks. so players can only make the speed down to like 10 ticks.

[chrome gyro]

Anyway, thanks for the input and insight... I'll come up with something.

Hmmm.. nope haha the delay is the same no matter the ticks. I think the load is too big.

[vast grove]

You could try using jobs. But idk if that's a good solution since I've never used them. Look at what part is the biggest slow down and try to find solutions

Like is it the getting blocks part?

Or getting the entities part?

If it's the getting entities part, try looking at caching them

[chrome gyro]

Like, if multiple of the same entity, then only running once for that same type kind of thing?

[vast grove]

I meant like listening to entity spawned, loaded and destroyed events, add them to an array and loop over that

Instead of doing a double loop

It's event based which will improve perf a fuck ton

You're essentially skipping 2 API calls

Per tick

[chrome gyro]

Oooh interesting, ok I'll try that tomorrow.

[valid ice]

Jobs are good whne you don't care about timing

Really, really good

But

[vast grove]

The other code, you'll have to figure out how you're gonna improve. Like reducing the amount of variables you're getting from the API into something smaller or even just storing less things and possibly even moving some to function commands.

[chrome gyro]

I thought about compiling more variables into a single scoreboard name then just slicing. Idk if I'm up for that just yet though, I'm kind of sick of scoreboards after this XD.

[vast grove]

Is there a reason to use scoreboards? Otherwise you could use dynamic properties

[chrome gyro]

I think they run faster??? Idk, also I haven't learned dynamic properties yet, I keep seeing them when I search, but haven't figured out exactly what they are.

Or is it the same as properties in an entity?

[vast grove]

They're essentially like variables you can store on the entity or world. They are individual to each add-on and they're persistent

Plus you can store a lot in them

Very useful, fairly optimised

[valid ice]

Strings, bools, numbers, even vectors

[valid ice]

Better, as they’re dynamic ✨

[vast grove]

Entity.setDynamicProperty(identifier: string, value?: boolean | number | string | Vector3): void

Very easy to use. Easier than scoreboards

[chrome gyro]

what the whaaaaat? I just found out this was in my code for the function:

    for (let i = 0; i < 1; i++) {

}

I think I was too inexperienced at the time when I added that part to know what it did.

Oh wait... maybe it wouldn't have mattered?

[valid ice]

Entity properties are fantastic when communicating between regular BP & RP files, but have limited use when it comes to set-able values (have to define beforehand)

Dynamic properties are solely scripts, and can really set whatever values you want (JSON.stringify() & JSON.parse() OP) with the limitation of being only script based

[chrome gyro]

Oh! Wait a minute... is this a dynamic property?:

grouping.setFloat("variable.cnb_ppl_ptime", time )

[vast grove]

Mmmm no. Unless that's like a wrapper api

Or is that a molang variable?

[valid ice]

That’s a molang map, probably a particle, If I had to guess

[chrome gyro]

nvmd sorry, I just looked it up on the main site. I see now.

Yeah. good guess.

[valid ice]

Also limited, sadly, as you have to “infer” the type of variable using regular json beforehand

[chrome gyro]

Ok, hmm maybe I need to try out some dynamic properties then and see if applying them helps... Thank you both so much! I have a lot I can try now.

[valid ice]

Still a great tool for script to particle translations!

The big thing is that dynamic properties are solely BP side with zero RP interactions, so

[chrome gyro]

Oooh I was just going to ask that. Ok I gotcha.

[vast grove]

... Weird shit.

[chrome gyro]

Whaaaaaaat!!?!?!? I dont understand. Ok, so I made the function grab the scores directly using this method... instead of going to the other function where it unpacks the scores.

With 15 entities down I was getting 45-70 ms delay, after changing it to just grabbing the scores directly it went down to 5-10 ms delay now 😄

[valid ice]

[chrome gyro]

Sorry, that probably didn't make any sense I can type it out.

[valid ice]

Caching helps a lot, but be wary of how much caching— it does make a difference.

You’re definitely fine for score caching, don’t worry

[chrome gyro]

That's a fair warning... I think whatever addon I make next I will make sure it doesn't have so many variables by design.

[valid ice]

Performance is the main concern when it comes to bedrock scripts

[vast grove]

Wouldn't be so damn important if they used C# instead

[valid ice]

[vast grove]

I'm still annoyed they weren't able to use it

[valid ice]

When C

When qs

I want variable variables, dammit

[chrome gyro]

I'm starting to realize that 😭

[valid ice]

I want the operator status of the player to fluctuate depending on the quantum state of the qubit I’m referencing

[vast grove]

At least with C# you're not completely free to do everything but it's still very good since it's optimized at compile time. Roslyn analyzers go brr

Oh fuck. Source generation!

[chrome gyro]

Omg hahaha, only if not observed by another player though.

Does an "observer_block" count as an "observer"?

[chrome gyro]

This is another language to me 😏

[vast grove]

C# has it's own built-in array pool.

var encodeBuffer = ArrayPool<byte>.Shared.Rent(Constants.MaximumEncodedBytes);

So much stuff that JS just doesn't have

[halcyon phoenix]

what does that do?

[valid ice]

Js is bad but of course humanity adapted it for the general internet

[vast grove]

Gets an already allocated byte array of that size if it exists, otherwise it'll allocate a new one and return it. Less allocation, more reusing.

It's like a set of glass cups, why use a new one when you can just wash and reuse the same one?

[valid ice]

Why do that when you can just order new cups every time you need more

[vast grove]

Oh gosh

[valid ice]

Sure, it costs more, but think of the convenience!

[vast grove]

Garbage man won't like you

[valid ice]

Jason Momoa?

He doesn’t know me anyways (yet)

[halcyon phoenix]

oh that's handy and much more performant

I had the chance to learn C# with rimworld but it was too difficult to me

[vast grove]

Welp. My day is wasted. I was gonna work on something then I didn't. Now I just wanna play a game.

Getting an error on line 10

[vast grove]

Again. not descriptive enough

[vast grove]

oooohhhh riiiggghhhttt. and what's this?

[marsh pebble]

pretty sure this is quick questions for a reason

[little hull]

is it possible to modify the players health componenet and add a minimum value to it then modify it again and remove it?

[vast grove]

No it isn't. You posted an entire code block, no context, you didn't show the error. I cannot be bothered testing it.

[little hull]

through scripts ofcourse not using player.json

[marsh pebble]

I literally said there was an error on a certain line

[vast grove]

Ok. So what is the error?

Instead of just saying There's an error on line 10 This does not help. It's like saying My power doesn't work

[marsh pebble]

Dont you think i would be able to fix it if i knew

[vast grove]

Buddy. You know there is an error on line 10. Show the error

otherwise I am going to just stop

[marsh pebble]

oh

it's not on line 10

i meant to say 12

[vast grove]

And this shit is why I'll say bye bye!

[marsh pebble]

Being a dick to me because i didnt say "help" the right was shitty.

And you not even telling me either is crazy

[vast grove]

Oh sorry. did you say something?

[distant tulip]

you can only modify the current value

[distant tulip]

did your console say error on line 10?
what is the full error?
is the number 10 relative to the complete script or the one you sent?

[little hull]

const healthComp = deadEntity.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Health);
      if (healthComp && healthComp.currentValue <= 0) {
        healthComp.effectiveMin;
      }```   what does this do the effectiveMin?

[distant tulip]

the script you send does nothing

effectiveMin return the min of the health

that property is readonly

world.afterEvents.dataDrivenEntityTrigger.subscribe((ev) => {
    let lightLevel:
    ev.getModifiers().forEach((d) => {

saying there is an error?

[little hull]

anyway to make a death prevention method?

[distant tulip]

no

[distant tulip]

again, what is the error

[gilded shadow]

what's the fastest way to visually debug a position (like a line or just a block)

particles or entities?

[worldly heath]

console.warn ?

[gilded shadow]

or are there other methods

[marsh pebble]

how do i check?

[gilded shadow]

sorry forgot to type "visually"

[distant tulip]

hover over it

[worldly heath]

did u put : instead of ; twice

let lightLevel:

you meant

let lightLevel;

search for know entity functions or properties
the search is not broken but it is not the best

here u go

[distant tulip]

you can't

[halcyon phoenix]

... I know tho

[halcyon phoenix]

it's just I can't see it in the search bar

[granite badger]

Can you check if this file is loaded?

[marsh pebble]

that shouldnt really matter

[halcyon phoenix]

that's not the issue here

[marsh pebble]

It's not possible for it not be loaded.

[distant tulip]

nvvm, i am getting it
my search didn't have that many options

[halcyon phoenix]

there's scrollbar now

what da heck...

[marsh pebble]

might've just have been an issue with the browser your using

[halcyon phoenix]

probably or connection issues

I have no idea I never dealt with websites before

[granite badger]

refreshing the page might work, I just used a very hacky way to make the scrollbar (since typedoc doesn't officially support this)

[marsh pebble]

It wouldnt really be hacking. Unless you're actually messing with the website.

[halcyon phoenix]

...

anyways thanks for the website jayly I'll just refresh it if it happens again

[worldly heath]

where do i find this more about this , i have other form elements to update

i previously learnt from bedrock dev which isnt updated yet?

[distant tulip]

as i said, when it says it expect a type, just search for it

[halcyon phoenix]

entity.id is unique across all entities right?

[worldly heath]

which site is that ? where should i search on

[cerulean cliff]

wierd how onPlayerBreak in custom components is lacking docs in the types

[halcyon phoenix]

nah it's that shit

[distant tulip]

it is this, the error is in the code he sent

[sharp elbow]

Say you have an entity at (0, 0, 0). You grab the location, it returns a vector of {x: 0.5, y: 0, z: 0.5}. Then you teleport that entity to (1, 0, 0). If you acquire the location again, should it be the same as before, or should it now return {x: 1.5, y: 0, z: 0.5}?

I like to think that most properties (if not every property) is a lookup call on the API

[vast grove]

Read further.

[sharp elbow]

I did, and I do not suppose I missed anything.

[vast grove]

The message right after. I said api calls should be functions. not properties/members

I understand your point

It's just. It's a goddamn variable.

[sharp elbow]

Then all Mojang need do is remove location and rename it to a method of getLocation. Now it behaves like you think :)

I like to make a copy of the entity's location so I only do one lookup. Then when I need to read from the location again, I have it cached.
const location = {...entity.location}

[vast grove]

Yeah I know that...

[sharp elbow]

If I need to manipulate the location, I can edit that vector as many times as I please. Then I can set it at the end

[sharp elbow]

My scripting style heavily uses variables as a result. The code on my current project would probably make some people here cry

[vast grove]

Syntactically. having it be a property/member doesn't explicitly state it's something that's available to get without having to make some conversion api calls. Kinda like a web server, would you hide a get request behind a property? It just doesn't make sense...

[sharp elbow]

That's why I am not a big fan of setters and getters

You don't know from an outside interface if that property lookup is doing something more sophisticated behind the scenes.

And I guess, in essence, most properties in scripting are getters? Perhaps not literally

[vast grove]

exactly. Even the docs don't tell you it's an API call and being as it may with performance being a big concern with script api. These should be defined either in syntax or by a note.

[sharp elbow]

I can also see a point where including that might be TMI. Generally performance should not be too big of a concern to the lay user

I would like an article from the team describing some optimization strategies—real ones at that

Or if it does not already exist, how to profile a pack and determine which calls are consuming the most amount of time

[vast grove]

Yeah. That would definitely help a lot of new scripters understanding why their code is so slow.

[sharp elbow]

A colleague of mine wrote some not-so-optimized code a few weeks back that made me want to cry when I read it

General utility functions are great when reusing across the pack, but such self-contained functionality really needs a cache if you are going to make repeated calls with very similar data 😢

[vast grove]

I guess this is why wrappers exist? To help alleviate some of those manual caching calls?

[sharp elbow]

I suppose so. A good wrapper would do that, I would think

[vast grove]

I kinda hate how getHeadLocation(); is a function and shows it does something to get something

[sharp elbow]

Same with getRotation. But at least it's clear that it's a method!

Replace isValid with getValidity()

[vast grove]

It was apparently changed from a function to property...

[wheat condor]

that just sounds stupid

the word get its just bad

[vast grove]

get is a meaning of getting something but I understand your point in this case.

[sharp elbow]

That's true, I forgot lol

[wheat condor]

get sounds more like for Map dynamicProperties usage

[vast grove]

I wonder if Entity.id is an api call. I doubt it is but if it is. Goddamn I would be surprised.

[sharp elbow]

Only one way to find out!

[untold magnet]

why am i unable to detect the food itemStack saturation?

[vast grove]

Get this component on the ItemStack
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/itemfoodcomponent?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental

[untold magnet]

const foodSaturationValue = player.getComponent('minecraft:equippable')?.getEquipment('Mainhand')?.getComponent('minecraft:food')?.saturationModifier;

[vast grove]

yup

[untold magnet]

returns undefined

[vast grove]

which one is undefined?

the food component?

[untold magnet]

yes ibelieve

maybe the itemstack

[untold magnet]

yes, it is undefined for some reason

[vast grove]

what item are you testing it on?

[untold magnet]

steak

[vast grove]

Ok yeah that's weird...

[untold magnet]

the food component is undefined

like

console.warn(itemStack?.getComponent('minecraft:food')) returns undefined

[untold magnet]

When present on an item, this item is consumable by entities. Note that this component only applies to data-driven items.?

[vast grove]

But I thought food items were data driven... according to the bp on the mojang samples...

wtf

[untold magnet]

console.warn(itemStack?.getComponent('minecraft:food'))

[vast grove]

idk man...

it's supposed to be data driven...

[wheat condor]

minecraft foods except the apple dont have the food component

[vast grove]

They're holding a cooked beef.

It's amazing

ooh

[lyric kestrel]

It's actually amazing and has made me look through my code due to how shitty it was running

[shy leaf]

i noticed this too

it just straight up doesnt work

[sterile epoch]

how does it work?

not at my pc rn

so can't download it

[untold magnet]

at least will it works for modded items? not the vanilla ones

[shy leaf]

not sure

considering that vanilla food items are data driven, it probably doesnt work for addon items either

[untold magnet]

I'll try it anyway

[shy leaf]

i think this is related with eatItem method not working even with valid food ItemStacks

[lyric kestrel]

Try this

    system.run(()=>{
        console.warn(itemStack?.getComponent('minecraft:food').typeId)
    })```

wait, what

Even with typeId it's still undefined?

TypeError: cannot read property 'typeId' of undefined at <anonymous> (./development_behavior_packs/main.js:8) (main.js:8)

[prisma shard]

system run make no sense there

[untold magnet]

it works for custom items, but not for the vanilla ones

[lyric kestrel]

I was getting an error of wrong privileges, so I had to put it in a system.run

[shy leaf]

odd

[untold magnet]

that is actually pretty good!!

i can get the vanilla items saturation from the wiki

[lyric kestrel]

Ye

[jagged gazelle]

the food components isn't exposed that's why.

[lyric kestrel]

Bit weird to me that you can't get the saturation from vanilla

[lyric kestrel]

oh

[untold magnet]

and get the saturation of the other addons food using the script, so i can use it

[jagged gazelle]

food, compost etc. isn't accessible to a VANILLA item

[lyric kestrel]

Still a bit weird they aren't accessible on Vanilla items

[jagged gazelle]

while for custom ones they are exposed that's why they are accessible.

Smokey had explained this before.

[untold magnet]

alright,

i can work with that

[jagged gazelle]

it does.

[untold magnet]

(i am making AppleSkin for bedrock, so i need to show the saturation when u hold the food on ur hand)

lets do this!

okie sry also what hapen to your old account

[lyric kestrel]

Oh nice

[untold magnet]

i just need to show how much hunger / saturation u will regen by eating that specific food

[lyric kestrel]

Oh

Good luck

[jagged gazelle]

Someone in dev resources already did that..

[untold magnet]

anyways, gotta add the vanilla foods to the system,

[untold magnet]

huh?

[jagged gazelle]

if vanilla items.

oh wait I thought grabbing the saturation

Mbmb

[untold magnet]

if (itemStack?.typeId === 'steak') {title stuff}

[valid ice]

Why not change the language files

[untold magnet]

i am rendering that on the screen

its not a name thing

[valid ice]

Ah was thinking of something else, nvm

[untold magnet]

i will add that anyway

[jagged gazelle]

Herobrine, what's the limit of dynamic properties string values again?

it was 32... something

[untold magnet]

no limit i believe

idk i haven't touched it since 2024

[jagged gazelle]

function getFullData(target, name) {
  let data = '';
  for (let i = 0; ; i++) {
    const part = target.getDynamicProperty(`${name}:data${i}`);
    if (part === undefined || part === null) break;
    data += part;
  }
  return data ? JSON.parse(data) : {};
}

function setFullData(target, name, data) {
  const stringData = JSON.stringify(data);
  const parts = Math.ceil(stringData.length / 32767);
  for (let i = 0; i < parts; i++) target.setDynamicProperty(`${name}:data${i}`, stringData.slice(i * 32767, (i + 1) * 32767));
  for (let i = parts; target.getDynamicProperty(`${name}:data${i}`) !== undefined; i++) target.setDynamicProperty(`${name}:data${i}`, null);
}```
-# Found it. Nvm

[valid ice]

32767

Like the illegal enchants!

[untold magnet]

well, as for my AppleSkin script, i need to add the food nutrition value to the current hunger value of the player,
i can do that pretty easily using the food component, but that doesn't work for vanilla foods so i have to sort the vanilla nutrition value so i can add it to the player current hunger value to render the ui,
how can i do that?

like should i use dynamic properties or something?

i know, dynamic properties are the best and the easiest method, but i dont think if my loop can make it works correctly

[jagged gazelle]

if you want to grab value then display in screen, dynamic property alone ain't gonna work, make dp as your storage, display them using title, subtitle, actionbar, scoreboard or chat.

[untold magnet]

hold up nvm

[untold magnet]

i know about all of those, i just need to get the vanilla food nutrition and saturation, and i know how.

[jagged gazelle]

like should i use dynamic properties or something?

then wym by this?

[untold magnet]

i am getting the vanilla food nutrition and saturation from the wiki and apply them as dynamic properties for the player, so i can use that number and add it to the player hunger and saturation to show u how much hunger and saturation this food will restore

[fading sand]

how do i check if an entity is touching an block?

[prisma shard]

touching...? 🤨

uh you mean so touching ground...?

[fading sand]

ye, or a wall

lol

@prisma shard

[wheat condor]

player.isOnGround and for the walls you gotta teste the distance from the player to the wall and find the correct one to detect touch

[fading sand]

i mean thats just ground tho

ye

hmm

thx

I can't find custom compass point locations in the docs. Is it possible? I could just set world spawn but that feels like a bad solution

[wary edge]

No.

[valid ice]

lodestones or setting world spawn

[full idol]

I see, can the scripting API attach a compass to a lodestone?

I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place but I'm reading through item components

[valid ice]

Don’t think it can

[full idol]

Ouch, alrighty, thanks!

[ivory bough]

I know this is probably a dumb question but does the value of for loop stay after player leaves the world?

[wary edge]

Entirely depends on how you set it up.

[full idol]

To edit player default health do I need to edit the player.json?

[jagged gazelle]

if decreasing hearts yes

But for increasing, you can use health boost effect too

[full idol]

Alrighty, thanks

Wow I managed to mess that up lol

Maybe not...

I guess no health for me

[jagged gazelle]

No, you can't set it as component.

apply it as component groups

[full idol]

Ah right, thanks

[full idol]

Does it have a specific group name?

[round bone]

you have to use component groups and assign them using events

I'm looking for a script that has a command that anyone can put in the chat and it will open a kind of tab to redeem a code and with that you will win something

[untold magnet]

formUi?

if u want to open a formUi with redeem code system, u can do that but sadly i dont have the codes on my uploaded projects

[random ibex]

I don't know very well but I just know that you have to type a command with the game chat and it will open a box to enter a code and with that code I can redeem an item.

[untold magnet]

i see what r u talking about, custom commands are beta,

u can learn from here ig
https://youtu.be/QhJkCDIZ-NU?si=kmhKXb9Pl62ttuMr

[jagged gazelle]

i literally said check my acc about me.

[untold magnet]

btw, how tf is he opening an inventory ui using commands?
https://youtu.be/wdo2tagU388?si=LSoJC7y_CXNw4r4d

server client things or something?

[jagged gazelle]

I feel like that's not script only

[untold magnet]

like when he typed /rtp in the chat, he have opened an entity inventory somehow

[jagged gazelle]

third party software too

[untold magnet]

i checked out the gui he made (its just a chest screen), but im not sure how did he opened the chest ui using that /rtp command

like is it servers exclusive only or something

[scarlet sable]

The game doesn't detect the "mode"

[scarlet sable]

a plugin probably

honestly it looks like a crossplay server

nevermind it is java and bedrock crossplay

[valid ice]

Command args is an array of inputted things, not just a single value

So mode in your function is an array

[scarlet sable]

nah it works I'm just dumb

i used log

thought I was using error

[untold magnet]

yah that might be the answer.

[fallow minnow]

does anyone have a GOOD scoreboard database I don't feel like making one

[sullen ocean]

When it is optimal, use regular string splitting / etc.
When it is used a lot less, regular expressions might be okay (it depends on what your pattern is).

But when it comes to parsing HTML and such, sometimes you should just use the right tool for the job as explained in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454

[deep quiver]

Is this a question?

[sullen ocean]

Just a tip... and for a conversation that is around yesterday my time. Apologizes.

[jagged gazelle]

as I said, third party software... just scripts alone isn't possible it's limited rn and y'know that.

[distant tulip]

there is no packet to open a gui?

[jagged gazelle]

Probably there is I dunno, but I didn't see the video so I assume it's for single players...

the best you can do is simulate a chest ui with json ui and then just open that on the command call

Why does this literally not generate anything?

[shy leaf]

1. see if youre getting anything from content logs
2. you should try adding tiny stuff like console.log("test") or anything to see if the checks are passing

[ivory bough]

Hmm but when there was an error with the command, it said not a valid function smth like that

[shy leaf]

....i just noticed youre doing runCommand on world...

its either entity, player or dimension

[ivory bough]

Bruh wtf am I doing

[shy leaf]

its ok

[ivory bough]

I was supposed to do overworld

[shy leaf]

common mistakes lol

[ivory bough]

Also, BTW how to add delay to for loop? Cause there seems to be an internal and watchdog error due to hang.

[shy leaf]

from that code?

[ivory bough]

Ye

[shy leaf]

then you should try runJob

its specifically made for big stuff like that

though i dunno how to use it, ill try searching for a few use examples

[ivory bough]

Me too. I have never really used it

[shy leaf]

though i have a question

why do you need for loops that big

[ivory bough]

Jus trynna make kinda dimensions using set structures

[shy leaf]

also holy shit a for loop inside a for loop???

😭

[ivory bough]

Because I need it to expand on both x sides as well

[shy leaf]

yeah i uh

dont know the efficient way to deal with this

soz

[wheat condor]

There is the method that runs on 0 ticks so you don’t need promises or await
https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1365770249835909272
I made it so it just spawns the itemStack as an entity it gets killed and it drops its stored items then a getEntities() gets all the items that the shulker dropped

[distant tulip]

again, 0 tick it misleading, 0 tick is 0 ms and that is not possible

[ivory bough]

Does anyone know how to add a delay between each for loops? Cause it gives a 1053 ms hang error

[woven loom]

use job for that

i will delay auto

[visual zephyr]

i have no idea why my server-ui script is not working

it sends a reference error

[wheat condor]

You get it why do you need to correct me 0 ticks means that runs On Tick and doesn’t need a tick delay

[visual zephyr]

and says does not have required privileges

[ivory bough]

I did it still doesn't

I used job inside the for loop

[dusky flicker]

simply modify the way you doing it

i mean, instead of writing faster code write smarter code

[woven loom]

thats not how it should be used

make loop within job and yield every inter

[dusky flicker]

you yield each piece and use the generator in runJob

function *doStuff(){
for(;;) {
yield stuff();
}
}

system.runJob(doStuff());
something like this

[visual zephyr]

how do i use the debug script on debug playground

nvm figured it out

[distant tulip]

cause that is not benchmarking and no one says that.
no hard felling but if you want to share how fast it run just benchmark your script, it doesn't need a tick delay doesn't mean anything

        overworld.runCommand(`structure load mystructure:torture_exit ~100000 ~700 ~${torture}`);
      } else {

    function* fieldLoop(){

        yield;
      }
    }
    system.runJob(tortureLoop());
    system.runJob(fieldLoop());
  }
});

Now it doesn't even generate anything for some reason

[jolly citrus]

is this prone to duplication glitches?

world.afterEvents.playerInventoryItemChange.subscribe((event) => {
  const { player, itemStack, slot } = event;
  event.itemStack;
  const customPlayer = globalThis.GlobalCustomPlayers.get(player.id);
  if (customPlayer && itemStack) customPlayer.playerInventoryChange(slot, itemStack);
});

/* class CustomPlayer */
playerInventoryChange(slot: number, item: ItemStack) {
    if (!item) return;

    if (item.getDynamicProperty && item.getDynamicProperty("dusted")) {
      return;
    }

    let changed = false;

    const enchantable: ItemEnchantableComponent | undefined = item.getComponent("enchantable");
    if (enchantable) {
      const sharpness = enchantable.getEnchantment("sharpness");
      if (sharpness && sharpness.level > 2) {
        sharpness.level = 2;
        enchantable.removeEnchantment("sharpness");
        enchantable.addEnchantment(sharpness);
        changed = true;
      }
      const protection = enchantable.getEnchantment("protection");
      if (protection && protection.level > 2) {
        protection.level = 2;
        enchantable.removeEnchantment("protection");
        enchantable.addEnchantment(protection);
        changed = true;
      }
    }

    if (changed) {
      if (this.container) this.container.setItem(slot, item);
      this.player.sendMessage("§eYour item's enchantments were set to a maximum of Sharpness II and Protection II.");
    }
  }

okay seems that it is

no idea how to fix it tho

it's hard to dupe the item but the risk is still there, any way i can fix it

[severe wave]

Hello, is there any way of checking when chunks have loaded, and checking the location of said chunks?

[wary edge]

No.

[severe wave]

okay, thank you

[vast grove]

Considering players technically are the only ones that can load said chunks. Yeah you could detect it

[wary edge]

Structures load chunks.

[vast grove]

Oh. Yeah...

[severe wave]

I read into that, but I'm looking for a function/method that states "chunk X has been loaded" and then find the blocks in that. I mean i could in theory check the block radius that is in the players vicinity, but that seems messy and taxing

[vast grove]

Well iirc. Bedrock loads chunks in a diamond shape... And for each player you could just store their current chunks position, then if it changes, get the new ones using a mathematical equation.

Otherwise it's basically a no, there's no proper api for chunks yet

[severe wave]

Im sure i could use a maths equations, but im no mathematician so i will leave this on the backburner for another time

[grim raft]

how can I convert this to the new applyKnockback

player.applyKnockback(di.z, -di.x, -3, 0)```

[wary edge]

It's a VectorXZ now.

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0/classes/Entity.html#applyknockback

[grim raft]

ik a bit how but idk how to make it go sideways

const horizontalForceF = {
                x: viewDirection.x * 5,
                z: viewDirection.z * 5
            }
            return entity.applyKnockback(horizontalForceF, viewDirection.y * 0.5)```

[wary edge]

Set X to 0 and Z to 5 or flip flop.

[grim raft]

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: NaN value is not supported. Function argument [0] expected type: VectorXZ at <anonymous> (main.js:36)

this error appeares

cant put 0

[wary edge]

What did you put?

[grim raft]

const horizontalForceR = {
                x: viewDirection.x * 0,
                z: viewDirection.z * 5
            }```

or u didnt mean like that

even when I put nothing it says that

[wary edge]

Can you try just 0 and 5, dont multiply viewDirection.

[grim raft]

already tried and still doesnt work

[valid ice]

New format is

applyKnockback({ x: x * hStrength, z: z * hStrength }, vStrength)
instead of applyKnockback(x, z, hStrength, vStrength)

[wary edge]

Yes they did that.

[valid ice]

oh ok

[wary edge]

Im guessing viewDir is NaN

[grim raft]

it works fine im just trying to make it go sideways

[wary edge]

And NaN times a number is NaN

[valid ice]

Not a Number? But it literally is

[ivory bough]

Does anyone know why this doesn't generate any structure?

[halcyon phoenix]

ohhh it's a magnitude now

oh wait

oh it's just {x, z}

welp

[night acorn]

why does the useOn item event not work when interacting with cauldrons?

[dusky flicker]

is xz normalized?

[fallen cape]

Can I modify item in cursor component to change the itemstack?

[wary edge]

No.

[fallen cape]

sad

[chrome gyro]

~500 and ~700 isn't a place where any blocks can be placed. Unless you have height increased?

[inland merlin]

Has someone made anything using the new inventory change afterevent ?

Seems promising especially for a possibility of testing for recipes like crafting

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerinventoryitemchangeafterevent?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental&viewFallbackFrom=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[distant tulip]

It is only for player inventory?

-# and hotbar

[inland merlin]

I believe this one is for any change, while there is a hotbar change after event as well just saw it in the log when going through the stable release lol

Could make gui in inventory now right haha

Now we have so many options

[distant tulip]

I mean it says player inventory change

[inland merlin]

Yeah player haha

[distant tulip]

You could detect player crafting with it i think

[inland merlin]

That's the cool thing, detect what was crafted in a way

Since your inventory changes with craftibg

Some custom class i suppose with the event

[distant tulip]

Just exclude item dropped and item storage amd all the events that consume items
Seem a bit janky tho, haha

[inland merlin]

Awh true

Forgot about those things

[distant tulip]

An easy one is item pick up event

[inland merlin]

True!

[distant tulip]

Entity remove + that

[inland merlin]

Yeah I like that combo

Seems accurate enough

[chrome gyro]

Anyone know how to get the swing animation to play in first person when using an item and playing the animation, my animation only plays in third person for some reason.

[distant tulip]

Yeah, just add location for more accuracy
