Script API General

[rustic ermine]

If you ray cast up (2nd field in the vec3 for direction) so (0.0, 5.0, 0.0) that should do it. That would be 5 units on the Y axis I believe. I'm not honestly sure what directions Minecraft uses because there isn't really a standard between game engines but in other engines that would be valid

Can debug by spawning a particle at the end of the ray probably

If Minecraft uses the mesh base as the origin, which I think it does, also add 1.6 to the Y of the origin vec3 to cast from the player head

[grim raft]

isnt it (VectorXZ, min hight)?

soooo I just checked

[rustic ermine]

getBlockFromRay(location: Vector3, direction: Vector3, options?: BlockRaycastOptions): BlockRaycastHit | undefined

[grim raft]

I was mixing it with getTopmostBlock 🙏

mb gang

[rustic ermine]

So it would be getBlockFromRay(player.position, (0.0, 5.0, 0.0))

[grim raft]

yea ty

[amber granite]

They added the most unuseful thing

Copper tools

[woven loom]

why

[honest spear]

export class LootTableManager { public generateLootFromBlock(block: Block, tool?: ItemStack): (ItemStack[] | undefined); public generateLootFromBlockPermutation(blockPermutation: BlockPermutation, tool?: ItemStack): (ItemStack[] | undefined); public generateLootFromBlockType(scriptBlockType: BlockType, tool?: ItemStack): (ItemStack[] | undefined); public generateLootFromEntity(entity: Entity, tool?: ItemStack): (ItemStack[] | undefined); public generateLootFromEntityType(entityType: EntityType, tool?: ItemStack): (ItemStack[] | undefined); private constructor();};

New APIs damn cool

[simple zodiac]

thats nice

wait

thats huge what

[honest spear]

yea really nice

fianlly vein mine is possible with fortune and other enchantments

[woven loom]

do ores have some sort of spwan pattern ? can we predict pos

[rustic ermine]

Moved EntityEquippableComponent properties totalArmor and totalToughness from beta into 2.1.0

On preview 👀

[sterile epoch]

it's always been possible

just with workarounds

but you're right, this will be 10x eaiser

[honest spear]

not really

what about if they added new ore

or other addon would make one

there is no way to know what loot it drops

[sterile epoch]

you update it

[honest spear]

you can't deal with infinity addons that could be applied to the world

no workaround

[sterile epoch]

????

[honest spear]

what about if they added new ore
or other addon would make one

[sterile epoch]

you're overthinking this

it's not hard to update your add-on

[honest spear]

well sometimes you want something that works at least as Java mods do

[honest spear]

but you can't really know what others addons adds

thats the point

[sterile epoch]

ohh it works with custom blocks??

that's dope

[rustic ermine]

How are you uploading it?

[tardy pivot]

very nice

[dusky flicker]

mc is probably right handed and y axis is up

[rose light]

Why doesn't the boss bar name update in real time?

[buoyant canopy]

Is there any known way to distinguish between 2 falling block entities?

[narrow patio]

Using a ModalFormData are you able to detect which submit buttons is being pressed if there are more than 1?

[wicked girder]

How much does it take to tank tps with scripting? Hosting a server and it has a fair amount of scripts but for some reason every so often tps just tanks. Ive checked chunks, entities, and the server specs and all them are fine. the only think I can think of is the scripts

[distant tulip]

use the debugger to look into it

[celest relic]

Can somebody explain how to use parameters for custom block components? I don't quite understand how to register and use the parameters, and an example would be great.

[wary edge]

Check the wiki.

[celest relic]

Do you think you could give me the link to the specific page?

[random flint]

Probably a Bug. If you use nametag manually it'll update

[shrewd relic]

im so close

not even changing the /execute did anything

[distant tulip]

Anyone tried apply impulse in the new preview?

[rustic ermine]

when scriptAPI 2.0 was released they mentioned

Removed runCommandAsync as most commands did not actually run asynchronously. If you are looking to run a function asynchronously, please investigate using Jobs via System.runJob

possible that could be why in your case? try just runCommand? If that's completely off sorry, still familiarizing myself with scriptAPI.

[ivory bough]

For some reason, I just updated my scripts a bit and now when I try to load into my world, it says "There was a problem loading into the server" even though I am not in a server and instead in a normal singleplayer world

[celest relic]

Isn't this v1?

[celest relic]

Hmm, got a JS version?

[woven loom]

Yo, does anyone know of a default particle that we can tweak using scripts?

[vast grove]

The only one that comes to mind would be music notes since well, they're colored by molang iirc

[rustic ermine]

Anything greater or equal to 2.0

[celest relic]

I mean, do you have a JS form of the script?

[distant tulip]

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AMojang%2Fbedrock-samples+path%3A%2F^resource_pack\%2Fparticles\%2F%2F+variable.&type=code
most of these can be used
just look for stuff that uses vec3 float or rgba

[woven loom]

Thhx

[rose light]

ahh, ok

I think so too, because if I spawn the entity in the script, it doesn't update the name in the bossbar, but if I use /summon, it updates it right away

[snow knoll]

Has anyone else had this content log before or could anyone help me in figuring out what it means

[round bone]

you're passing smth to a function that is not a number

could you send your code?

[snow knoll]

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

let constantBeam;

const ignoreList = new Set([
  "minecraft:minecart",
  "minecraft:chest_minecart",
  "minecraft:hopper_minecart",
  "minecraft:tnt_minecart",
  "minecraft:xp_orb",
  "minecraft:item",
  "minecraft:tnt"
]);

function newBeam(player,itemStack) {
  const constantBeam = system.runInterval(() => {
    const view = player.getViewDirection();
    const head = player.getHeadLocation();
    const distance = 24;
    const range = {
      x: head.x + view.x * distance,
      y: head.y + view.y * distance,
      z: head.z + view.z * distance
    }
    const hitEntities = player.dimension.getEntities({ location: head, closest: 1, maxDistance: 24 });
    for (const entity of hitEntities) {
      if (entity.location > head && entity.location < range && !ignoreList.has(entity.typeId) && !hitEntities.includes(player)) {
        entity.applyDamage(15, {
          cause: "lightning",
          damagingEntity: player
        });
      }
    }
  }, 4);
}

world.afterEvents.itemStartUse.subscribe(({ source, itemStack }) => {
  const player = source;
  const item = itemStack.typeId;
  if (item == "ltng:newbeam") {
  newBeam(player, itemStack);
  }
});

world.afterEvents.itemStopUse.subscribe(( e, ) => {
  const { itemStack } = e;
  const item = itemStack.typeId;
  if (item !== "ltng:newbeam") return;
  system.clearRun(constantBeam);
});```

This is it

[round bone]

which line is 49

[snow knoll]

The last one
system.clearRun(..)

[round bone]

if (constantBeam) system.clearRun(constantBeam);

use this instead just clearing the run

[snow knoll]

It was that simple
Thank you

[round bone]

yeah

if you need even more safety, just check for it's type

if (typeof constantBeam === "number" && !Number.isNaN(constantBeam) system.clearRun(constantBeam);

[nova flame]

wtf is this error

const overworld = world.getDimension("overworld");
``` this is line 4 btw

[round bone]

use a provider

[nova flame]

wdym

[round bone]

import { world } from "@minecraft/server"

class Dimensions {
    #constructor() {}
    /** @type {import("@minecraft/server").Dimension}*/
    static #overworld

    static init() {
        this.#overworld = world.getDimension("overworld")
    }

    static get overworld() {
        return this.#overworld
    }
}

world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(() => {
    Dimensions.init()
})

and use Dimensions.overworld.

[nova flame]

wtf is this!?!

[round bone]

due to 2.0.0, most of functions are native now

this code is initializing overworld as soon as the world has loaded

[nova flame]

so where did const overworld go

[round bone]

use Dimensions.overworld from now

[nova flame]

so replace everywhere where it mentions overworld to Dimensions.overworld

[round bone]

yeah

[nova flame]

alright thanks

[round bone]

no problem

[nova flame]

???

[round bone]

it's not the easiest solution, but probably the best one to be honest

oh sorry

[round bone]

static get overworld

[nova flame]

are the hashtags supposed to be there

[round bone]

😅

copy the code again

I fixed it

you can remove constructor if it's throwing you an error/warning

[nova flame]

@round bone

[nova flame]

just delete it?

[round bone]

yeah

don't worry

[remote oyster]

// main.js
import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

let overworld = null;

// Wait for world to fully load
world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
  overworld = world.getDimension("overworld");
  overworld.runCommand("say World loaded!");
  console.log("Overworld is ready");
});

In Script API v2, most API calls cannot be made in global scope, especially during early script initialization. The worldInitialize event has been removed, and you now need to listen to the worldLoad event instead. That means:

Use world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(...) to get a reference to your world or dimensions.

You can either:
1 - Assign that reference to a global let variable and use it later.
2 - Export the reference from one module for use in others.

The above example references number 1 but number 2 is just as liable and simple.

Its either that or you can make multiple API calls versus just the one, but if you make multiple API calls, be sure that the API call is being called when it's appropriate, which in most cases must be during or after worldLoad.

[snow knoll]

Could someone help in figuring out what is wrong with this function and why it doesn't attack entities in a straight line within the player's view direction (as a seperate problem to the content log)

[sharp elbow]

You are doing a logical comparison of objects. if (entity.location > head) @snow knoll
JavaScript does not know how to really interpret this, because how should {x, y, z} be greater than / less than another {x, y, z}?

AFAICT those comparisons always return false.

[snow knoll]

Oh, I see

What would you reccomend in do instead

[sharp elbow]

Depends on what you're wanting it to do. What should it mean for an entity's location to be greater than the head location? (or less than the range?)

Should the values of each coordinate be within those two points? Like a volume check

[snow knoll]

Yes, that was the intention

[sharp elbow]

You could write a function that determines if a point lies between two points. I don't expect that to be too useful here though; such a function would be comparing each axis of those points, which would give very tight volumes along axis-aligned directions and very large volumes across diagonals

I suppose what you want is the distance instead. For that, you can use a little vector math to find out if the entity is too far or too close

for (const entity of hitEntities) {
  const entityLocation = {...entity.location};
  // find difference between two points
  const delta = {
    x: entityLocation.x - head.x,
    y: entityLocation.y - head.y,
    z: entityLocation.z - head.z,
  };
  // distance formula: sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2)
  const entityDistance = Math.hypot(delta.x, delta.y, delta.z)
  if (entityDistance <= distance && !ignoreList.has(entity.typeId)) {
    /* ... */
  }
}

[snow knoll]

Thank you so much

[sharp elbow]

With that, your sphere of what entities should find is limited to a shape like this.

From a point that is distance away, you grab all entities in a sphere of distance radius, then filter those who are further than distance meters away from the origin. It creates this kind of Venn diagram

[snow knoll]

Thank you

[sterile epoch]

question: is it a glitch that form dividers and labels show up as null in the result.formValues array?

[open urchin]

it's intentional

[scenic bolt]

Unique Question: If I have a feature/feature rule place a block, and have that block do an onTick event (Not Repeatable, 0.5 Seconds), will it summon an entity I have it summon on that tick, or will that entity not appear because the world isn’t loaded?

[wary edge]

As far as I know, both onTick and onPlace don't properly work if placed via features.

[scenic bolt]

That’s what I thought, I have a plant that uses a block as a base and summons an entity with the geo due to restrictions with the geo size of blocks. If this is true then I unfortunately don’t see another way to do this other than maybe making these flowers have spawn rules lol, and have a timer for those that place a block

I’ll figure it out somehow, thanks for the help!

[sterile epoch]

why tho?

dividers and labels have no user input value

[open urchin]

apparantly it fixed something

with how people were already handling forms

[sterile epoch]

mkay...

[north rapids]

is there any way to get the amount of bees inside a nest?

[little hull]

how can i check in scripts if a player is in first person?

[distant tulip]

only work around

store beehives with all possible amounts in structure, when loading them get the items and check if they can stack with your item

[north rapids]

ty

is there any way to get the max value of an int block state?

like the "growth" state in crops

[wary edge]

Yes, however keep in mind that if two blocks share the same state name, it will get the min and max from both blocks.

what's that? sorry im new to this 😅

[woven loom]

dynamic properties

they gets saved onto the world nbt

player.setDynamicProperty('myvalue', 'foobar')

let myValue = player.getDynamicProperty('myvalue')

[livid elk]

is there a docs for that? i cant find that on microsoft thing

[woven loom]

u can find them in World, Entity andItemStack

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

thank you!

[livid elk]

is there a tool to see all dynamic property of the world?

[round bone]

smth like DataGrip?

[livid elk]

like this

[round bone]

NBT Editor?

[sage portal]

can you import files with worldLoad or do I just need to wrap each file with it?

Hmmm, I see it in the MS docs

But i always use jayly's docs

Can't find it in his docs, i tried searching..

[round bone]

I prefer using Microsoft docs

ms docs are bit messy to me

Lets see on stirante's docs

[round bone]

They're really simple and clean for me

[prisma shard]

OH

sorry jayly for the ping,,, im just stupid

[prisma shard]

why did you said getDynamicPropertiesIds 😭

its getDynamicPropertyIds

[round bone]

I forgot how the method was named, then I checked it in docs

[edgy elm]

Hi here! Does anyone here have a script that checks the performance of script if it perform well or the code is optimized. Like a memory usage evaluation.

[shy leaf]

VSC's miencraft debugger has it

you can also use diagnostics in game to export a file that tells you how long it takes to call functions and methods

[edgy elm]

I have a server and for some reason i manage the server thru this very complicated codes, too many codes running at once. I check the performance of it by checking the ram usage, memory usage etc.. But i notice every time that memory usage rising dramatically every 5 hours so I need to restart the server in order for other people to join.

I dont know whats causing the memory usage to go up max

[shy leaf]

its memory leak

i dont know what behavior packs youre using, but testing it in singleplayer with VSC hooked up on your game should give you live diagnostics of memory usage for scripts and your game

[edgy elm]

oohh thanks, but how can i know if whats causing the memroy leak. and how this memory leak works?

[shy leaf]

googling it should explain it better

[edgy elm]

Thanks for the time!

[shy leaf]

you can ask here anytime about it, though the best thing we can only recommend is to not use behavior packs that has bad optimization

[hushed ravine]

With the new custom commands API, is it possible to create subcommands?

[shy leaf]

i heard you cant

yet

[hushed ravine]

[shy leaf]

or no "yet"

i dunno if its gonna be a thing

[hushed ravine]

Welp, time to create multiple commands

[shy leaf]

sob

[prisma shard]

How would a subcommands work

[shy leaf]

think of execute command

execute as @p at @s if ...

camera and camerashake too

[prisma shard]

hmm

[shy leaf]

you can give multiple params and get various results from one main command

but you cant do that with custom commands currently

[little hull]

Can dynamic properties be detected through molang?

[wary edge]

No.

[sly valve]

And with the key you can get the value...

[round bone]

and you know how inefficient it will be to get all pairs?

of course, you can use a hashmap

[sly valve]

Use runJob

still it might take a lot of iterations

[sly valve]

Ofc but it wont cause spikes

[round bone]

at least it's reducing spikes

Yes

I love runJob

What's the difference between this script ```
console.log("test" )

and this script ```
import {world} from "@minecraft/server" 
world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(()=> console.log("test"))

[sharp elbow]

This is for scripting 1.0, right? They may execute at rather similar times

I would expect that the second script executes around when the world is "more finished loading" than the first, but this distinction may be blurry, I am not sure

In scripting 2.0, the world load order is much more clearly defined. The simiarly named worldLoad call happens after the first tick executes; so the difference is much more clear

You can read more about it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scriptingv2.0.0overview?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

Is it possible to display a video on your screen

[thorn flicker]

no

[little cedar]

😔

Maybe with the title command?

[thorn flicker]

no.

[little cedar]

Not even photos?

[thorn flicker]

you can use photos.

you need to make a custom emoji

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/concepts/emojis#adding-custom-emojis

[little cedar]

Oh ok I'll search for it

[thorn flicker]

no need, theres the link

[untold magnet]

technically no but u can use animated photos or animated blocks / animated texture entities

u need to use flipbook thing in order to do that

[thorn flicker]

i dont think you can make animated custom emojis.

wdym animated photos

[untold magnet]

and i think there is a tool that can change videos to a very long flipbook texture that u can use on minecraft

[dusky flicker]

for sure not

[untold magnet]

its about that dude that needs to render a video on the screen

[thorn flicker]

I know?

[untold magnet]

its not possible but possible at the same time

[thorn flicker]

im asking how?

[untold magnet]

ah,

[dusky flicker]

it would suck to implement

[untold magnet]

the same way u make flipbook blocks or making an entity has animated texture

[thorn flicker]

so an emoji

per frame

[untold magnet]

no custom emojis needed, u can render an image by sending a specific title or even chatmessages

and that image can be modified to have a flipbook texture

[thorn flicker]

using json ui

[untold magnet]

yes

[thorn flicker]

right, you can use images.

[untold magnet]

animated images*

[thorn flicker]

which are images

[untold magnet]

but if u dont want to use jsonUi

u can use attachables or entities or even blocks

[thorn flicker]

custom emojis.

which would take years

[dusky flicker]

using an attachable to render a video?

[untold magnet]

I have absolute no idea how that works since i haven't touched it at all

[thorn flicker]

that would take years aswell

but you did say there was a tool

[dusky flicker]

you know that if the video is atleast 256x256, the 'video' would be big as hell, right?

[untold magnet]

animated texture that will render the video on the attachable

[dusky flicker]

you got problem with the size of it, it will be simply big as hell

and you'd have to put each frame on the image

[thorn flicker]

you can scale the entity/attachable down.

[untold magnet]

yah i remember someone used some kind of tool to turn a kind if flame video into a very long flipbook texture that he used on minecraft

[untold magnet]

depends on how large the video is and how much frames u need to render per second

[untold magnet]

hes/shes/whatever else is talking about the flipbook image size

[thorn flicker]

which wont be a problem if you scale it down in-game, no?

[untold magnet]

it will render normally ingame,

[thorn flicker]

can a model even fit it

[untold magnet]

i think so

[untold magnet]

it will be extremely laggy if the video is too large, so i prefer using jsonUi images instead

[whole axle]

How to remove players footstep particles and noise if they have a tag?

[thorn flicker]

not possible

[whole axle]

is it possible to do without scripting or is it fully impossible?

[thorn flicker]

fully

[whole axle]

Could I just /stopsound and remove the particle from textures or would that not work?

[thorn flicker]

if stopsound does work, you could not prevent other player/entity's footstep sounds being silenced aswell.

[whole axle]

i could create a separate walking sound and script it to play when players without the tag walk

but idk

[thorn flicker]

that would be terrible

lol

[whole axle]

[livid elk]

is custom / command still in beta?

[bold bison]

[Scriptinglferror-Plugin [Enderaltar BP-1.0.0]-[rmain.js] ran with error: [TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe of undefined at <anonymous> (main.js:13)

Partially. they're now on stable but some of its functionality is still on beta.

[woven loom]

ping?

[round bone]

Incorrect event name

[coral ridge]

do you guys know how to make a 5 letter Minecraft related word dictionary?

[woven loom]

what

[prisma shard]

what...?

[halcyon phoenix]

LOL

he's making wordle in minecraft

[nova flame]

anyone know why the icons are off ill send code in 1 sec

help would be appreciated

[round bone]

probably due to an update

[nova flame]

its not it messed up when i changed the item name prefix

@round bonehow do i get this to stop throwing this error without having the chunks generated 24/7 js system.runInterval(() => { const dimension = world.getDimension('overworld'); dimension.spawnParticle('server_icon', { x: 30.5, y: 117, z: 67.31 }) }, 10);

[round bone]

put it into try-catch block

also read #welcome

[untold magnet]

uhhhh,,

im using this player?.sendMessage(weakImpacts[parseInt(Math.random() * weakImpacts.length)]); to send a random message from the array

how am i going to send two messages from the array?
like there is 6 different messages in the array, and i need to send a random one twice, how?

[round bone]

the same message twice?

[untold magnet]

yes, the same random message, but twice instead of once

[round bone]

const msg = weakImpacts[parseInt(Math.random() * weakImpacts.length)]
for (let i = 0; i < 2; i++) player?.sendMessage(msg)

[untold magnet]

ill try it ig

[nova flame]

mb

[nova flame]

thanks though

[untold magnet]

yah that works, ty

[round bone]

you can just copy-paste the method 2 times

it's simpler, but using a for loop is cleaner in my opinion

[sage portal]

did getGamemode() change in 2.0.0?

all my code related to checking gamemodes have been failing ever since I've updated

bruh
nvm they just capitalized the string now

[nova flame]

i think they changed it when they added spectator mode

[sage portal]

nah, it's been working fine for me when they added that in (unless they changed it for experimental, as I'm stable exclusive).

I've literally just been going back and forth changing the update name in this hyperlink until I spotted the capitalization difference.
https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/1.21.50/enums/_minecraft_server.GameMode.html

apparently it has been lowercase all the way up to 1.21.80

[nova flame]

oh lol

[untold magnet]

that will send two random messages, it wont send the random message twice i believe

[round bone]

const msg = weakImpacts[parseInt(Math.random() * weakImpacts.length)]
if (player instanceof Player) {
    player.sendMessage(msg)
    player.sendMessage(msg)
}

as far as you'll save a random message via variable, you can just re-use it

[untold magnet]

i see,,,

yah, ill use that instead of the loop

[sullen ocean]

The type of people who try to make a full 3D video game without knowing how to program yet .... that's why I say learning the basics first is required.
Also, I cannot help with people who don't even have the basics down yet.

[thorn flicker]

I agree.

[sullen ocean]

... Math.floor() instead of parseInt()

[thorn flicker]

you would get similar results, but it would be better to use math.floor.

[sullen ocean]

I assume parseInt() converts it input value to a string, which means that you could get weakImpacts.length out of the result, if unlucky.

[woven loom]

Parse int capture first number from the string

[dusky flicker]

if the number is < 2³²-1 you could use bit operator 👍

[sullen ocean]

// I assume this would end up as '1'
0.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 .toString()

[woven loom]

parseInt('8080wave9000') == 8080
parseInt('wave9000') == NaN

[sullen ocean]

Wave, the input is a number...

[woven loom]

oh my bad

xd

[rustic ermine]

aside from just rewriting fishing mechanics, is there a way to detect when a player has completed a fishing event?

[thorn flicker]

that would be tricky, if not impossible.

[rustic ermine]

which part?

[thorn flicker]

everything

mainly the last part.

[rustic ermine]

rewriting it wouldn't be that bad. dont see a vanilla way to see when the vanilla event completed though

[thorn flicker]

yeah.

[sullen ocean]

If you replace the entire loot table...

[sullen ocean]

NaN == NaN // false
NaN === NaN // false
isNaN(NaN) // true
Number.isNaN(NaN) // true

[thorn flicker]

you could detect if a dummy item spawns

[sullen ocean]

Exactly.

[thorn flicker]

boom, fishing complete afterEvent.

good idea.

[rustic ermine]

that sounds inefficient though

trying to avoid looped processing

[sullen ocean]

When the item spawns in...

[thorn flicker]

wdym

there's entitySpawn afterEvent

[rustic ermine]

hmm yeah that would work. thanks

[sullen ocean]

The only problem would be calculating how to do the movement arc for the item being fished.

[thorn flicker]

check if the typeId is minecraft:item and get the item component, then get itemStack property.

[rustic ermine]

for vanilla parity yeah. just adding itemstack to inventory / spawning under player is fine for now though.

[sullen ocean]

Though, if you want to replace it, you'd just swap the itemStack out and keep (reapply?) the momentum

[thorn flicker]

not just the only problem, this edits a vanilla file, which could cause compatibility issues with other addons

but lets say we dont care about that

[rustic ermine]

I dont. It's a self hosted dedicated server lol

[sullen ocean]

Derp, that too.

[thorn flicker]

welp, thats not a problem for him

[rustic ermine]

mainly just working on a fishing skill with xp/unlocks so was trying to think of a way to make experience gain possible. the dummy entity will probably work. thanks

[thorn flicker]

dummy item, not an entity

well, it will be an entity

but you dont need to create an entity

[rustic ermine]

yeah when it travels from water to player, right?

but the script should detect it spawning before or very quickly after it becomes visible

[thorn flicker]

just despawn it as soon as it spawns

[thorn flicker]

not before

there's no beforeEvents for entitySpawn

it might be rough to giving the player that did it xp though, unless you plan on spawning the xp orbs

[sullen ocean]

Can you swap out the entity's itemStack without affecting anything else like velocity?

[thorn flicker]

you cant change an itemstack

unless its in an inventory

[sullen ocean]

... so the only easy way is to just grab the position and velocity, destroy the item, and create the proper, new item entity with the copied position and velocity.

[thorn flicker]

assuming you could set the velocity on the item entity...

[sullen ocean]

... is that not possible?

[thorn flicker]

no

you can apply impulse however.

[sullen ocean]

Is setting the velocity of a non-player entity impossible, @rustic ermine?

[thorn flicker]

I said no

there's no method for that

apply knockback wont work because items dont support it I believe.

[sullen ocean]

A method isn't the same as a property... is there anything, even NBT-side, that stores it?

[thorn flicker]

no really?

[sullen ocean]

If nothing stores the velocity, then how does it know, after you drop an item from your inventory, which way horizontally to move it on the next tick, and the tick after, and the next after that?

[thorn flicker]

you can get the velocity.

entity.getVelocity()

[sullen ocean]

So the only way to fling a player as if out of a cannon (but without any damage) is by knockback means?

[thorn flicker]

apply knockback or apply impulse (which player now supports in preview I think)

yes

[sullen ocean]

... and you are 100% certain neither exist for item entities?

[thorn flicker]

what do you mean? I said apply impulse works on items

[sullen ocean]

...

[thorn flicker]

...

[sullen ocean]

Nowhere do I see "item" being mentioned here

[thorn flicker]

because you mentioned player...

[sullen ocean]

both are entities...

[thorn flicker]

I know.

some methods dont work on certain type of entities.

[round bone]

1. #welcome
2. it works the same

[thorn flicker]

what rule did they break

[sullen ocean]

// Normal JavaScript btw
const getAllPropertyNames = (obj) => {
  const results = new Set();
  for ( ; obj != null; obj = Object.getPrototypeOf(obj)) {
    for (const prop of Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj)) {
      results.add(obj);
    }
  }
  return Array.from(results.keys()).sort();
};

[thorn flicker]

say you dont want to be tagged then

its not clearly stated

you are going to screenshot this and link this everytime someone pings you? lol

[round bone]

I don't think that telling me the same approach, but with a different method which is returning the same value is a necessary thing

[round bone]

I'm going to use my own Discord app

[thorn flicker]

its not that big of a deal, but now since you made it clear...

👍

[snow knoll]

Sorry to interrupt but:
How does player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection() actually work?
I'm just really confused, is it detecting if an entity is in the players crosshair from a certain distance (like a direct, straight line) or is it like a cone from the players view of every entity they see?
Can someone help to shed some light on the topic

[nova flame]

how would i go about not letting players hit entities when they are in a certain place i have the location set up but how do i cancel them being able to hit entities

[round bone]

you probably have to make damage sensor system from scratch

[thorn flicker]

you cannot.

[sullen ocean]

I could help test (I have an Android device, but it is on the stable releases)

[thorn flicker]

in the script api, currently.

[nova flame]

i have this set up but it only works for players

[snow knoll]

I only use stable anyways, thank you

[nova flame]

in player.json

[round bone]

you have to cancel all attacks, then hit if none of conditions to cancel a hit are true

[nova flame]

how?

[sullen ocean]

on_damage ... is this for dealing damage, or taking damage?

[thorn flicker]

taking damage

[round bone]

1. cancel all attack
2. rewrite entire hitting system

[shut vessel]

ok

[round bone]

it requires a bit of work, but it's possible in the end

[nova flame]

yeah how the fuck do i do that

[sullen ocean]

Yeah, sorry for the late response, but I thought it was required to understand why I felt that way.

[thorn flicker]

not a script api thing.

[nova flame]

i need players with the tag not be able to deal damage to other entities

[sullen ocean]

... hopefully mobile users are noticing my responses because I am not @-pinging them when they already turned their screen off / switching back to their game...

[thorn flicker]

which is possible but it would take forever to edit every entity file.

[round bone]

cancel all entity damage using player.json, then use scripting API to implement with your cancelling conditions

[nova flame]

any idea where i could find an example of what your suggesting with player.json

[sullen ocean]

So on_damage is for taking damage... what would be for dealing damage?

[nova flame]

well i only need a few of my npc mobs to not be hittable so its just a matter of messing with their json file in behaviour?

[thorn flicker]

yes

[sullen ocean]

Though I do recommend to keep void damage as something that damages it.

(you don't want a bunch of entities you don't know about at the bottom of the world, right?)

[nova flame]

well there is 2 of them and they spawn nly via command so im chilling id say

[thorn flicker]

I dont think there's a filter for location, but you can give the player a tag if they are in the location, and you can filter this tag in the damage sensor.

[thorn flicker]

well it'll be based on condition though

[azure sentinel]

I made something via. command blocks long ago that throws people into adventure if they are within one of several separate areas

then puts them into survival after they leave

[thorn flicker]

they said they got the location thing down

I think

[thorn flicker]

I think its a straight line.

because thats how raycasting works

[snow knoll]

Cool

Thank you very much

And thanks Katie for offering to test

[azure sentinel]

Do some testing with solid blocks, transparent blocks, and awkwardly-shaped blocks in the way… bonus to know how it works.

[thorn flicker]

its a straight line that collides

[snow knoll]

Awkward?

[azure sentinel]

Chest, Lectern, etc.

[thorn flicker]

odd shaped, like a fence.

[snow knoll]

Ohhhh

Cool

[azure sentinel]

Fences too

[snow knoll]

I thought you meant awkward shapes made from several blocks

[thorn flicker]

lol

[azure sentinel]

Thanks Void, and sorry I got all agitated / etc.

[thorn flicker]

its chill.

[azure sentinel]

Not everyone has the same capacity of handling stress / etc. that others do.

[nova flame]

i got it chat lets gio

[thorn flicker]

[nova flame]

yeah ik

[round bone]

a lot of code tbh

[nova flame]

anyone know why this doesnt work

[buoyant canopy]

can we use raw text on signs?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[buoyant canopy]

Do i just write the localization key, or is there another way?

[wary edge]

Yeah.

But like

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.2.0-beta.1.21.100-preview.23/classes/BlockSignComponent.html#settext

It suppirts rawmessage as well.

[buoyant canopy]

can we do it with commands?

[wary edge]

Never heard of setting text via commands.

[buoyant canopy]

ok

[nova flame]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
    if (event.target.typeId == "neptune:cratesnpc") {
        CrateUI(event.player);
    }
});```

anyone know why this wouldnt work

[round bone]

can you show code of a function?

[nova flame]

export default function CrateUI(player) {
    const form = new ModalFormData();

    form.title("Crate UI");
    form.dropdown("Choose a crate to open", ["Common", "§2Rare", "§uEpic", "§eLegendary", "§mMythic", "§1Neptune"]);
    form.slider("Amount of crates to open", 1, 64, { defaultValue: 1, valueStep: 1 });
    form.show(player)
        .then((r) => {
        })
        .catch((e) => {
            console.error(e, e.stack);
        });
}```

[round bone]

did you import this file?

[nova flame]

yes

[round bone]

are you sure that entity's type ID is equal?

[nova flame]

yep

[thorn flicker]

if your entity does not have the interact component, playerInteractWithEntity afterevent will not trigger.

[nova flame]

like this?

[thorn flicker]

yeah.

[nova flame]

what do i put as the thing

[thorn flicker]

what

[nova flame]

in the brackets

[thorn flicker]

you dont need to put anything.

[nova flame]

yeah but that doesnt work

[thorn flicker]

it should.

[nova flame]

it doesnt

[thorn flicker]

I dont know what to do then.

[nova flame]

me neither

lol

[thorn flicker]

alternatively you could use beforeEvents instead, but keep in mind there's the beforeEvent privilege system.

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

[nova flame]

okay i switched to before event and it threw an error

progress

what could this mean

?

code : ```js
export default function CrateUI(player) {
const form = new ModalFormData();

form.title("Crate UI");
form.dropdown("Choose a crate to open", ["Common", "§2Rare", "§uEpic", "§eLegendary", "§mMythic", "§1Neptune"]);
form.slider("Amount of crates to open", 1, 64, { defaultValue: 1, valueStep: 1 });
form.show(player)
    .then((r) => {
    })
    .catch((e) => {
        console.error(e, e.stack);
    });

}```

[thorn flicker]

I literally just said keep in mind theres the beforeEvent privilege system

did you even click the link I sent you lol

[nova flame]

mb

[nova flame]

is it possibel to name an entity with a double line name

like "Sheep \n 10hp" type thing

[valid ice]

ya

[nova flame]

how?

[valid ice]

Just like that

system.runInterval(() => {
    const [testEnt] = world.getDimension('overworld').getEntities({ type: 'minecraft:sheep', location: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, closest: 1 });
    if (!testEnt?.isValid) return;
    testEnt.nameTag = "Sheep \n 10hp";
}, 1)

Guys what's wrong with this
It threw no errors, no content logs, just won't work
Anyone who can help, in any way, is sincerely appreciated

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

  } catch (e) {
    //pls catch error or give me no trouble
  }
});```

[fervent topaz]

constant beam isnt defined the the scope of where the clear run is

[snow knoll]

Would that affect the runInterval from running in the first place?

[fervent topaz]

o wait i didnt see the let at the thing

why not remove the try and catch to get the error

[snow knoll]

Good idea

Try and catch the entire runInterval to be specific?

[fervent topaz]

no

remvoe try catch

[snow knoll]

Oh, mb, I misread what you wrote

I got an error
Solved the problem of the error using
if (constantBeam) system.clearRun(constantBeam)
but the runInterval still wont run

[shy leaf]

system.runInterval() returns number which is used to handle stuff

make sure constantBeam is number and not something else

[outer wyvern]

Hello does anyone know How do I use the addEnchantment inside the enchantable component for items I'm trying to figure it out but couldn't find any docs on it. I tried to guess but it wouldnt throw any error but also not work

[shy leaf]

have you tried setItem?

[outer wyvern]

No. I haven't

I'll try

But I don't get it setItem doesn't have any more params than any regular item param as far as I'm Aware

Doesn't work. I'll open a thread maybe I'll get more answers

[woven loom]

can someone link a good menifest generator for scripts

[round bone]

https://coddyxbox.github.io/manifest_generator/

[woven loom]

thx

[rare dawn]

Is there a script where if we see an evil (monster) then a saying will appear saying it's a monster?

[rare dawn]

I need your help because I don't understand Java script

[round bone]

I recommend learning basics of JavaScript before getting into #1067535382285135923

[rare dawn]

Can you give me a script to "detect if we see a malicious mob, we will get an alert"? Can you write it?

[round bone]

what do you mean by "seeing"

on entire screen?

or on a crosshair?

[rare dawn]

If a player sees an evil mob he will get a warning /say warning

[round bone]

it's a bit of work

you would have to invole some math

[rare dawn]

Gosh I'm not good at math -_-

[round bone]

you would have to check if player's camera could see it in 55 deg for each side

then check if mob is not behind some block

[rare dawn]

Hey, I don't understand. Can you just write the script? I don't understand.

[snow knoll]

I said I already fixed it but the runInterval still wont run

[shy leaf]

your best is to move the runInterval outside the event and do a variable check on each players

[snow knoll]

Should I put it into a function and call the function through the itemStartUse event instead then?

[round bone]

it's a bit more than just few lines

[shy leaf]

that could work? i guess?

[snow knoll]

I was asking you😭

But anyways I moved it out into a function (it was one initially in the first place) and did a variable check on all players with for (const player of world.getPlayers()) and it still didn't work

[shy leaf]

huh

[snow knoll]

Maybe I'm the problem and the script doesn't like me🥲

[snow knoll]

I finally fixed it

I was calling it incorrectly

I needed a question mark

And [0]

[shy leaf]

sob

[snow knoll]

But thing is that its only working when just the runInterval on its own

[woven loom]

You can do this using a simple dot product check:

1. First, search for nearby entities around the player.
2. Loop through each entity and compute the direction vector: entity.position - player.position.
3. Cast a ray from the player toward that direction.
4. If the ray hits the entity and the angle between the player's facing direction and the direction to the entity is small (i.e., they’re roughly facing each other — check using dot product ≈ 1), then the player can "see" the entity. Add it to a visible list.
5. If the visible entity is a monster, trigger an alert for the player.

[rare dawn]

Hmm, I don't understand.🙏🏻

[sharp elbow]

Some pseudocode:

const facing_dir = player.getViewDirection()
const visible = []

const nearby_entities = player.dimension.getEntities({maxDistance: 16})
for (const entity of nearby_entities) {
  const direction = Vector_sub(entity.location,  player.location)
  const angle = Vector_dot(direction, facing_dir)
  if (angle < Math.PI / 2) continue

  const ray = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection(direction)
  for (const result of ray) {
    if (result.entity) visible.push(result.entity)
  }
}

if (visible.length > 0) {
  player.sendMessage("Evil mobs spotted! " + visible.map(_ => _.typeId).join(", ");
}

You'll want to write or download a Vector library for this. Vector addition/subtraction and the dot product are used in this implementation

[nova flame]

anyone got an idea how to lock an entity on the block where its been placed

[shell sigil]

Guys How to put tags in items and blocks in the itemUse.subscribe event and playerBreakBlock

[visual zephyr]

i think you need to define it already on the item json

anyways does anyone here know how can i spawnParticle the block particle of a specific block, like the mace?

[rigid torrent]

Can you check when a recipe is unlocked?

[visual zephyr]

just checked the particle list and saw block_destruct but said it is a bugged particle for /particle

[buoyant canopy]

was isOp() released to stable?

You can abuse commands to do so:

remove the recipe from the player and get the successCount

  if (succes) give the recipe back, return true

  if (failed) return false

/**@param {mc.Player} player @param {string} recipeId @returns {boolean}*/
function playerHasRecipe(player, recipeId) {
    const hasRecipe = !!player.runCommand(`recipe take @s ${recipeId}`).successCount
    
    if (hasRecipe) player.runCommand(`recipe give @s ${recipeId}`)

    return hasRecipe
}

[prisma shard]

smart..

never learned commands 😔

[rigid torrent]

Thank you!!

[halcyon phoenix]

never knew you could do that with commands

where do you get knowledge like that?

[woven loom]

@distant tulip Have you unrolled the changes for editor ?

[distant tulip]

i believe so?
you still have the selection thing?

[woven loom]

Yes

[buoyant canopy]

can we clone an entity?

[distant tulip]

structures

[buoyant canopy]

no, i mean, if you have an entity Object, can you use it to create a clone of it in the dimension?

I want to kinda cancel the entityRemove event but entityRemoveBeforeEvent doesn't have the canceled property, so i thought i could spawn the entity back

It gives you an an Entity instance, which i want to respawn

[open current]

Hi, I have a script that's working, but I'd like to add a function so that the stripped wood stays in the same position as the original log. Is that possible?

[buoyant canopy]

It seems there isn't a release for the 1.21.93 in the addon samples

[stark kestrel]

Event to get when a player starts mining

?

[wheat condor]

Idk I just thought in the moment and I remembered that the /recipe command existed couse I used it to debug recipes in my addons. I’m just good at problem solving

[stark kestrel]

Also could u possibly know if the block was left unbroken and how much broken it was in a percentage?

I'm pretty sure no.

[prisma shard]

playerHitBlock event. You can detect starting mining with it.

But you can't detect how much was left unbroken, it's impossible with scripts.

[dawn zealot]

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(data => {
    data.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('osuea:cow_spawner', {
        // onStepOn: e => {
        //     e.block.setPermutation(BlockPermutation.resolve(MinecraftBlockTypes.Air));
        // },
        On
    });
});
``` Never used this before can someone help, im trying to make it so it spawn a cow every 15 seconds

i have the block JSON done already just typings arent showing anything about ticks

nvm i was doing it so wrong, but i fixed the component shiz but the cow aint spawning

[prisma shard]

how to get what body part the player was hit

[dawn zealot]

nvm fixed

[jagged gazelle]

wazzup.

[woven loom]

@wheat condor Hey, I would like to create a keyframe timeline for pos rotation, fov, etc. Any ideas on how to structure that?

[floral vessel]

how can I set molang variables on entities with scripts?

[wary edge]

Entities? You cant.

[floral vessel]

actually unusable

wait...

what about this?

[woven loom]

Entity.setProperty

[floral vessel]

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

if I were to run playAnimation with a stopExpression that modifies some variables then returns true, it would effectively just set those variables

[valid ice]

this

entity properties & setProperty, and reading that in client or whatever

[valid ice]

Worth a shot, I guess

[halcyon phoenix]

I mean is that documented? the recipe command?

[floral vessel]

works like a charm

gotta document that one lol

[coral ridge]

I'm learning JavaScript on my phone 🤧

[woven loom]

i still do stuff on phone

[prisma shard]

Starting to learn js with phone is very inefficient

I couldn't understand js until I got into my PC and started writing code with hand.

PC is more like a faster and practical way to learn

[woven loom]

wym, i use text editor

but computer is better for sure

[prisma shard]

I mean, idk why but it's enifficient atleast for me to learn on mobile. I can't type better on it

.
I mean.... Idk If it's only to me, but, I get bit "comfort" on PC and easier to look at for long at code, write faster, etc

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah and it's much more faster because of the shortcuts

[woven loom]

Using Termux and Shizuku, I created a project template that automatically compiles the TS project and pushes it into the android data folder.

[wheat condor]

You can structure it like a json and run everytime the next sequence based on the tick

[woven loom]

Not like that , more like how blockbench does it

[wheat condor]

What do you need that for?

[woven loom]

I want to make a cinematic addon but can't decide how to handle timeline thing

[stark kestrel]

Any other workaround u could think of? And thanks for the event

[wheat condor]

My idea is to make an array full of objects with tick rotation position etc and do a runinterval that runs every frame

[rustic ermine]

sheesh.. 91 dynamic properties and their associated DB server cache objects/SQL rows created. that took all day.

[weary merlin]

needs to be optimized ,its pretty slow

[deep quiver]

yep you can do that

its what the command community does to do some very cool stuff, without addons

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/display-entities

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/assets/images/commands/display-entities/advanced-fmbe-diagonal-transformation.gif

very powerfull on the visual side

[rustic ermine]

man, probably obvious to anyone here, but last time I did anything with scriptAPI dynamic properties werent a thing so it was extremely limited because there was no way to have data persistance. they are amazing. combined with http .. can do a lot

[deep quiver]

Kinda late, but maybe you still need help lol. Run Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned in an powershell terminal with administrator (I think you need it, not sure)

[safe stream]

is there localisation in scripting? or do you need to hardcode the translations

[open urchin]

most ways of displaying text support raw text

world.sendMessage({ translate: "tile.grass.name" })

[visual zephyr]

im trying to animate the first person but when i run it via script api or commands it only runs in the third person

[open urchin]

what are you trying to animate?

[visual zephyr]

player

[open urchin]

but what about the player

[visual zephyr]

im doing a dual wielding mod

bedrock doesnt support hitting with the offhand so i made an animation almost the exact as hitting using offhand

but when i run it, it animates on 3rd person

[open urchin]

held items that aren't attachables are not part of the player model in first person

so can't be animated

[visual zephyr]

so if i made an attachable for the item will it work?

[open urchin]

yes
the animation will look different to the vanilla swing though

[visual zephyr]

ohh thats why, thanks

[void cipher]

Hey guys I am looking for a coder for my friend's pokemon server if any of you are interested dm me
(it's paid)

[rustic ermine]

on that note, 10ish hours coding today, night all lol

[woven loom]

How

[deep quiver]

Its on the wiki, pretty advanced command stuff

[prisma shard]

How can I detect what body part the player got hit?

@distant tulip (sry for ping lol)

[thorn flicker]

im pretty sure this was discussed not that long ago.

[prisma shard]

uh when

[thorn flicker]

recently.

[prisma shard]

I forgot if it was discussed with me but I don't know

[thorn flicker]

I dont think so

ill find it for you.

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1375769498505711616

[thorn flicker]

^

you were in the post lol

[prisma shard]

Does that go with player?

That's a different plain entity

[thorn flicker]

and what is a player

[prisma shard]

...what

[thorn flicker]

what is a player

[prisma shard]

bruh wha

[thorn flicker]

its an entity.

yes, it works with a player.

[prisma shard]

But I don't know the exact body part location of the player

[thorn flicker]

figure it out.

[prisma shard]

The plain entity there he used doesn't have legs and hand or chest

[woven loom]

dir = ray origin - entity.location
dir.y = 0
plain = normalize( dir )
plain origin = entity.location

[distant tulip]

Not the same

[woven loom]

but can be used

once u get the plain u can then use that to find the hit location and then based on height we can aprox diff body parts

[distant tulip]

I mean, if you want to know if you hit the arm, legs, body or head you will need a bit more logic, we are delaying with rotatable cubes in that case.

[woven loom]

yea

[distant tulip]

But if you only need the hit position in the hitbox that way simpler

[thorn flicker]

I didnt say it was, but it could be used for it.

[distant tulip]

Yeah

[woven loom]

but game's ray func already does the ray vs box and also gives u the pos

[distant tulip]

yeah, i did use that before

[prisma shard]

so now what me do

[woven loom]

just use default thibg

[prisma shard]

default thing what

[woven loom]

ray cast

[grim raft]

Error: Is not a function

let players = world.getPlayers()
    for (let player of players) {
        const getAboveBlocks = world.getDimension("overworld").getBlockFromRay(player.location(0, 5.0, 0))```

on the getBlockFromRay line

[thorn flicker]

because its not a function

location is not a method, its a property

[grim raft]

oh

[tender pier]

anyone knows what this is, I'm 100% sure it's nothing good at all

[woven loom]

it means ur code is taking longer to run

[tender pier]

Anyway to improve this?

[woven loom]

depends on code

[remote oyster]

Have to sort through your code and see if there are more efficient ways to do certain tasks.

[woven loom]

somehow i get warns with jobs aswell

i used debugger and it was showing 30 on avg

even tho i yielded everywhere

[remote oyster]

I didn't get any warnings but definitely had some spikes showing a lot of resources being used to execute when checking with the debugger. I fixed it.

[woven loom]

how did u do that

[remote oyster]

Probably different reasons honestly lol.

[grim raft]

how can I fix it

I've bee stuck on this for ages lol

[woven loom]

what u want to do ?

[grim raft]

detect if there is a block ontop of an entity

[woven loom]

Error: Is not a function

let players = world.getPlayers()
    for (let player of players) {
        const getAboveBlocks = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay(player.location, { x: 0, y: 1, z: 0})```

@grim raft

[grim raft]

I will try it

OH ITS PLAYER BRUH

idk why I used world

[woven loom]

that wont work if player in some diff dim

[grim raft]

yea thats the point

making sunlight burn with scripts

YES FINALLY

TY

[remote oyster]

I had a conversation about runJob a little bit ago in a forum someone created. Read up on the conversation to get an idea on how I approached it.

#1365029568670335117 message

[thorn flicker]

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Object did not have a native handle. Interface property ['type'] expected type: EnchantmentType
im trying to copy enchantments over to another item and im getting this error.

const enchantable1 = item1.getComponent('enchantable')
item2.getComponent('enchantable').addEnchantments(enchantable1.getEnchantments())

[rose light]

Is there any way I can put a FOV on the entity, so that it can only shoot if it is in front of it?

[sharp elbow]

Hm. Perhaps you need to copy the result of getEnchantments to a variable first? This should not be necessary, but I wonder if the result is different.

// declare var item1: ItemStack, item2: ItemStack;
const enchantable1 = item1.getComponent('enchantable');
const enchantable2 = item2.getComponent('enchantable');
const enchantments = enchantable1.getEnchantments();
enchantable2.addEnchantments(enchantments);

@thorn flicker

[thorn flicker]

im having an another issue currently, do you mind helping me with it

[sharp elbow]

I can take a peek

[thorn flicker]

im editing properties on an itemstack and its not saving.

and no, im not dealing with inventories

I think this might have to do with enchantment issue, the edits im doing to the itemstack are just not saving.

const item = new ItemStack('minecraft:diamond_sword', 1)
item.setCanDestroy(data.canDestroy);
item.setCanPlaceOn(data.canPlaceOn);

entity.dimension.spawnItem(item, entity.location)

[sharp elbow]

And what is data?

[thorn flicker]

im making a database for itemstacks.

its just a parsed object.

[sharp elbow]

Can you describe its interface? I assume its canDestroy and canPlaceOn are string[], but it's better to be certain

[thorn flicker]

it is.

okay, it has to do with my object, all properties seem like its returning undefined when im trying to use them

which is weird because im checking their output, and it showing the values.

[thorn flicker]

like, when I use them for the itemstack

like for example, im saving the nametag in the object, and its showing the name value, however when I assign this nametag from the property, onto the item, its undefined

[sharp elbow]

I can confirm your code works when I pass it a simple data stub, so it's definitely not the API there

[thorn flicker]

Yeah, I dont know what im doing wrong though

and yes, im aware that im not sharing enough code, ill just try to piece it together myself then.

[sharp elbow]

Always helps to have someone else do a sanity check 😄

[thorn flicker]

I did data.nametag, not nameTag

[sharp elbow]

I hope you're at least a step closer to finding the problem

[thorn flicker]

so the enchantment issue is unrelated.

[thorn flicker]

back to this.

let me try

no difference.

[sharp elbow]

What API version are you using?

[thorn flicker]

2.0.0

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Object did not have a native handle. Interface property ['type'] expected type: EnchantmentType (failed parsing interface to Array element [0], failed parsing array to Function argument [0])    at getItemstack (main.js:63)
    at <anonymous> (main.js:80)

this is the full error.

[sharp elbow]

I'm having trouble reproducing the error with this snippet:

function useItem(arg) {
    console.warn("HI")
    const player = arg.source;
    const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory");
    const item1 = inventory.container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
    system.run(() => {
        const item2 = new ItemStack("minecraft:diamond_sword", 1);
        const enchantable1 = item1.getComponent('enchantable');
        item2.getComponent('enchantable').addEnchantments(enchantable1.getEnchantments());
    
        player.dimension.spawnItem(item2, player.location);
    })

    return;
}

world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe(useItem);

Not sure if the context you're executing your instructions in is different from mine

[thorn flicker]

so what I needed to do was get the enchantments, map them into a new object, indentical to EnchantmentType and create a new instance of EnchantmentType, and use the enchantment id from the data I saved.

I guess there's issues stringifying the EnchantmentType class and parsing it afterwards.

[halcyon phoenix]

we can't detect locators location through script right?

[woven loom]

why u want to do that

[livid elk]

how to get the location of a specific block?

[woven loom]

.location @livid elk

[prisma shard]

block.location property

[floral vessel]

how can I check if an entity can naturally despawn? (so I don't remove entities with names or other special properties)

[livid elk]

thanks!

[wary edge]

Theres no detecting that.

Youll have to check if it has a name or not tjen.

[floral vessel]

oh great... and there's no way to check if an enderman is holding a block

oh wait there is... as a molang query

oh well theres the is_persistent entity filter

no clue how to run that from a script tho

[neat hazel]

Why is the entity not being rotated?

const dx = target.location.x - machine.location.x;
const dz = target.location.z - machine.location.z;
const yaw = (Math.atan2(dx, dz) * 180) / Math.PI;
machine.setRotation({ x: 0, y: yaw });```

[halcyon phoenix]

I Just want to spawn stuff there

[halcyon phoenix]

I don't see a - at dx is there a minus there?

oh nevermind discord bug

[halcyon phoenix]

math seems to ve corect does it output any errors?

[bold stratus]

What method can be used to show a player form after closing the chat menu?

I always use "!test" with slight delay 3 second.

[shy leaf]

if the cancel reason is UserBusy, attempt to open form again

this is more reliable since it always ensures the form to open after closing the chat

though you can now use custom command to do this nowadays, and it even closes the chat automatically

[nova flame]

if (response.cancelationReason == "UserBusy") {
            return system.runTimeout(() => {
                GearShopUI(player);
            }, 10);
        }```

this will just try re open the ui every 10 ticks until the user is not busy

[bold stratus]

Oh

[nova flame]

Guys how would i make a system that check if a player has a tag and after 3 IRL days it removes the tag

how do i like use irl days in a system

like that

[round bone]

use Date.now timestamps

[nova flame]

any examples?

[sharp elbow]

Use Date.now() to store a timestamp of when that tag was applied. Then after 3 days worth of milliseconds (86,400,000), you know 3 days have passed; remove the tag then

You'd probably want to check periodically when to remove the tag, like every minute

[nova flame]

yeah

alright thanks

@sharp elbowdo you know where there is any docs on it i cant find Date.now in bedrock wiki or jaylys website

[thorn flicker]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/now

its not a script api thing.

[sharp elbow]

The Date object is a feature native to JavaScript. You can read about it on the MDN docs

[thorn flicker]

its part of javascript itself.

[nova flame]

oh right lol

thanks guys

[woven loom]

The challenging part is determining when to remove the tag.

[lone thistle]

Store the timestamp somewhere, compare it with the current timestamp and just check periodically if it's been three days since

[woven loom]

Periodically

[final ocean]

world.afterEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(() => {

What name in 2.1.0-beta ??

[lone thistle]

You can use system.beforeEvents.startup or world.afterEvents.worldLoad

[final ocean]

Thanks

[thorn flicker]

system.beforeEvents.startup is for custom components/commands now.

[final ocean]

I know

[thorn flicker]

just clarifying, if thats what you are doing.

[final ocean]

Ok.

[thorn flicker]

okay.

[dawn zealot]

is there a way to get the players dynamic property when they leave using the playerLeave event?

[distant tulip]

playerLeave before event

[dawn zealot]

does that work?

swear i saw somewhere that didnt work

[distant tulip]

yep

[dawn zealot]

made my life 10 times easier

[distant tulip]

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

[dawn zealot]

tyty

[distant tulip]

np

[dawn zealot]

i was mid way through storing the data etc etc lmao

[distant tulip]

is this for a server or an addon

[dawn zealot]

server

not the NDA one you know of

im basically storing the players island in a structure

so i need their pfid and temp id

[distant tulip]

yeah, just asking to confirm
that event don't trigger in local words in some cases

[dawn zealot]

ah shit

[distant tulip]

local worlds*

[dawn zealot]

yeah im using a world to make the whole server

[distant tulip]

it should work fine for testing

[dawn zealot]

gotcha

the chunks shouldnt need to be loaded right

[distant tulip]

the only case it doesn't work is if you force shut the game

nope

[dawn zealot]

bet ty

[distant tulip]

your welcome

[dawn zealot]

first time making a skyblock so i just dont wanna mess up the island system

world.beforeEvents.playerLeave.subscribe((data) => {
    const player = data.player;

    const pfid = player.getDynamicProperty("pfid");
    const player_id = player.getDynamicProperty("player_id");

    if (pfid === undefined || player_id === undefined) return;

    const islandKey = `island${player_id}`;
    const island = island_save_coords[islandKey];

    if (!island) return;

    overworld.runCommand(`structure save island_${pfid} ${island.bottom_corner.x} ${island.bottom_corner.y} ${island.bottom_corner.z} ${island.top_corner.x} ${island.top_corner.y} ${island.top_corner.z}`)
        console.warn(`✔ Saved island_${pfid} for ${player.name} on leave.`);
})
``` this is my plan for storing it

saving*

[distant tulip]

why do you need to save it tho

[dawn zealot]

im having it so that the max amount of islands will be the amount of players online

so it cleans up

so like plots

cuz if u think about it these islands are gonna have loads of entities

[distant tulip]

not sure i fully understand but alright
you can use structure manager btw

native method for structure stuff

[dawn zealot]

oh wha

never seen that anywhere

[dawn zealot]

basically there can be max 20 people on at 1 time for the server right

i dont want it so that when a new player spawns it just spawns an island like 1k blocks away form the last person that joined, i want it so that it spawns the island in one of the 20 slots available

then when they leave it saves everything on their island including entities and loads it back in the available slots when they join back

my idea to save lag^

[distant tulip]

oh, so you are removing them when they leave

[dawn zealot]

and having thousands of entities

[dawn zealot]

yeah

[distant tulip]

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

wouldn't that be bad for performance

[dawn zealot]

i dont feel like learning this 😭

[dawn zealot]

no?

its only saving and loading on join and leave

plus max island size of 64x64

[distant tulip]

eh, it is not complicated

word.structureManager..createFromWorld(
    "mystructure:test",
    player.dimension,
    from, //vector3
    to, //vector3
    { saveMode: StructureSaveMode.World },
);

[dawn zealot]

ima jus use a command for now then switch later

[distant tulip]

sure

good luck with the project

[dawn zealot]

ty

sneakpeek lmao

[distant tulip]

i seen that in the server lol
look great

[dawn zealot]

ty

good sign so far

[dawn zealot]

i got the system to work flawlessly

[meager cargo]

Can someone explain me why this is not working? And help me with?
I wanted to make path for entity using applyImpulse, but it keeps staying on the first waypoint.
Also it should work that the latest point is the ending one, but points before are optional.

[cerulean cliff]

we should get Dimension#getBlocksFromRay

[livid elk]

is it possible to change player fov using script?

[wary edge]

Use the camera API.

[random ibex]

Can someone help me make something similar, like there will be several commands and for one of these I need to redeem a code to redeem and with this I would get Credits to buy things on my server

[neat hazel]

It does not generate any error, but the entity is not being rotated

[cyan basin]

I didn't realise that Herobrines Chest UI had been updated to support the inventory (lets go) but I had to add the enchants, glint and custom names to the inventory since I noticed those were missing

Looking at it now, most people would think it's just a regular chest lol until you "click" in the chests and can't click your inventory slots lol

Please don't repeatedly ask the same question. If you want help create a post in #1067535382285135923 and wait

[random ibex]

Ok

[rustic ermine]

Realms or dedicated server? Personally for a system like that Id make a separate http server to handle codes/currency/validation so you can manage them more cleanly, but can't do that on realms

[rustic ermine]

Yeah I turned the inventory part off because of that. Kind of pointless if you can't interact with it or get a button ID for clicking in it

[random ibex]

I have a server on Blaze, I just wanted to add these commands to have a store

[cyan basin]

Not really.. the whole point of having the inventory was that it looked more natural and like the Chest UIs from Java Edition

[rustic ermine]

Fair

[cyan basin]

You could probably make it interactable but there's no point

Unless you're using it for trading I don't see any other reason

[rustic ermine]

I was making a player trade system with it

[cyan basin]

Lol yeah
