Script API General

[chilly fractal]

yup.

oh it does impact performance. but really, it depends on your ways of obfuscation and how big the codebase is.

personally, i am not much of a fan of obfuscation.

but that's my opinion.

[cursive fog]

Ummmm

Help

[chilly fractal]

it doesn't export dimension

it exports a method to get a dimension tho

do this:

const overworld = world.getDimension('minecraft:overworld');

make sure to import world at the top

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

[cursive fog]

Ohh ok

[chilly fractal]

(or at anywhere, just before you use it)

[vast grove]

One thing. Avoid running commands from script api as much as possible. It introduces an extra overhead as opposed to running a dedicated script api function for the same result

[cursive fog]

This works?

Idk i uhh try to grasp stuff

[chilly fractal]

nope

you need to learn the basics of javascript first

i'll teach you some rn

[cursive fog]

So uhh how should i format it(u can answer this later if u want)

[chilly fractal]

firstly, you can initialize let, const, and var with some value as so:
let someProperty = 23;
let, and var don't need an initial value and can be changed later.
const needs an initial value and cannot be changed later.
let, and const are scoped to their braces. for example:

try {// <-- braces
  const someProperty = 83;
/* end of braces scope -->*/} catch {
}
console.log(someProperty); // fails, because it is not in the same scope, therefore you can't access it.```

[cursive fog]

So for example

Const is constant right? So like
Assuming i need it to set some property the const can be used to keep a property or smth constant

[chilly fractal]

var is scoped to it's function.
for example:

function coolFunction() {// <-- function
  const someProperty = 93;
}//<-- end of function
console.log(someProperty); // fails, because it is not in the same function scope, therefore you can't access it.```

[chilly fractal]

yup

you can't change it's type

[cursive fog]

What about console.log?

[chilly fractal]

?

oh it just prints whatever you give it to the console

[cursive fog]

Hmmm

[chilly fractal]

i'd use console.error if you wanna make it always log regardless of your console level.

[cursive fog]

For creator gui right?

[chilly fractal]

yeah

if you want, i can send you a free and good javascript course. it's on youtube.

[cursive fog]

Btw can run command work without dimension part?

[cursive fog]

Sure

[chilly fractal]

eh

not really

you need a source

either an entity or a dimension or a command block

[cursive fog]

Can player be one?

[chilly fractal]

and dimension is the most stable source to run commands on

[chilly fractal]

yeah

the player is an entity

and so are simulated players.

[cursive fog]

So this is goods?

[chilly fractal]

nope, time for the next js basics

functions and rest paramaters (cuz why not?)

[cursive fog]

Ye sure

[cursive fog]

I barely know functions lol
I think they are like pre animation from rp

[chilly fractal]

say you have function like:

function openGripMenu() {
  source.runCommand('say grip');
}```
you want to give it dynamic access to source, but how? you add a parameter.
```js
function openGripMenu(source/*<-- parameter*/) {
  source.runCommand('say grip');
}```

[chilly fractal]

nope

they are normal javascript "things" that help in modularity and keeping code clean.

[vast grove]

Functions are basically things that allow you to input something and get a result.

[chilly fractal]

then to call.

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

function openGripMenu(source/*<-- parameter*/) {
  source.runCommand('say grip');
}

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
  const overworld = world.getDimension('overworld');
  /* this calls the function(runs) "openGripMenu"  we defined --->*/openGripMenu(overworld/*<-- call the function with the paramter you want to give it*/);
});```

[cursive fog]

What to put on parameter part?

[chilly fractal]

read the comments

[ruby haven]

I'm trying to make an attack system triggered by data event entity trigger and will be used by most of my custom entities will that be a big impact to performance issues?

[chilly fractal]

eh, probably not

event based things are very performant.

[cursive fog]

So after the overworld part
I put function openGripMenu?

[chilly fractal]

bro

[ruby haven]

So meaning if used by 100 entities it will cause lag issues

[chilly fractal]

i'll make the comments more descriptive

[chilly fractal]

yeah but it's impossible to have 100 entities get attacked in the same tick, at least under normal gameplay

plus if you optimize everything to be minimal, it wouldn't be much of an issue.

[cursive fog]

Sorry
I kinda get how it works but its just how to write it or smth

@chilly fractal can you give me a example of how to write the comments part

[chilly fractal]

// single line comment, anything that comes after (on the same line) is considered a comment and cannot be escaped. example:
// e?

// multi-lined comment, anything between "/*" and "*/" are considered a comment, examples:
/* hi
hi
  hi
hi*/
/*hi2*/```

i'll send you the javascript course

it's long but very, VERY important

[cursive fog]

Got it

[cursive fog]

Sure

[chilly fractal]

and will pay off in the end.

[chilly fractal]

still no

i don't think you get it,just watch the course.

[cursive fog]

Ight

[cursive fog]

Rip
What should i add it there?

[chilly fractal]

just watch the course i sent you

you don't need to watch it all in one sitting

but make sure to watch it all or at least half of it.

and also i gotta go

cya

[cursive fog]

Aight

[chilly fractal]

oh yeah

i gotta say something

it's a normal javascript web APIs course

but you can use the basics that are purely javascript in any javascript enviroment like nodejs and minecaft's quickjs engine.

anyway, ima go now

[jagged gazelle]

Heyyo you're back...

[tardy pivot]

does the beacon beam have a typeId?

[visual zephyr]

can i change an entity's component group using script api

can i use trigger event?

[distant tulip]

You can trigger the event related to it

[visual zephyr]

alr thanks

[thorn flicker]

no

[halcyon phoenix]

does stringifying an entity and parsing it would work inside dynamic properties?

[subtle cove]

use structureManager

[subtle cove]

those objects are just instances to represent the entity

[halcyon phoenix]

structureManager? can you lead me to some docs about it?

I've used structureManger before but I believe that one is for structures

[subtle cove]

its the script-api way of /structure

[halcyon phoenix]

what?

oh yeah

/structure

I mean that could work too

is there any other methods?

[subtle cove]

uhm, how do u wana use the entity as data?

[oak lynx]

why do you censor script when it's literally the only normal part of addons

[rustic ermine]

has anyone that has done profiling recently recall if

.getComponent(ENUM.X)

has much performance impact?
trying to think of an event-driven way to make sure player has required level for equipment, but I am concerned about checking 5 times every time a hitEntity event happens. My profiling shows 0ms but am not able to profile to fractional ms.. expecting about 20 players to be running this check at any given time. I would be checking mainhand of attacking entity, then equipment components of each slot for the receiving entity.

wish we could run deno profiling for bds lol

[subtle cove]

calling a variable sure does cost more than using string

[rustic ermine]

interesting -- I would assume that is because JS does not support true enum / union types?

[subtle cove]

maybe..
its just taking the value string or enums are same on it

[rustic ermine]

yeah makes sense. I guess I assumed it would be the same cost since it should just be referring to a memory location that has the string, but it really depends if it is stored on stack or heap

or if it is doing PBV or PBR

[round bone]

it might have a minor performance impact, for scalability I would stay with enums

[warm mason]

More by 0.000001 ms

[rustic ermine]

every little bit counts 😛 I already am using a good bit of performance budget with http / database handling

not that it would ever be noticeable to a player probably, but usually there is always a way to get something to work nearly perfectly

[warm mason]

First you need to optimize more serious things

[rustic ermine]

I get what you are saying but there is a 25ms network delay with http that is not avoidable

[subtle cove]

btw, u can store the component object in a map for brute executions

[rustic ermine]

when would be the appropriate time to store that though? because it will not refer to the current component if they equip something else

[round bone]

what are you using on back-end site?

[subtle cove]

using getComponent() a lot is also expensive

[rustic ermine]

postgres database

[warm mason]

It's strange that it takes so long to generate one request.

[round bone]

framework?

[rustic ermine]

that's just the end-to-end time. the actual request is not that slow but the time anything is received back is. it ranges from 25-55ms because we can't use websockets

so a new connection is established every time

keepAlive on the backend doesn't seem to care

[warm mason]

How do you measure time?

[rustic ermine]

deno/oak

[subtle cove]

when ur gona trigger a lot of methods in just a few ticks...

[round bone]

I think we are working on pretty similar systems

I am using Express.js with Clustering and MongoDB + Redis for storage

😅

[rustic ermine]

I also have a go version of the backend but didnt see any benefit for my case

[subtle cove]

I'd keep it simple, then w8 for it to break. then do the compact coding

otherwise keep it simple

[rustic ermine]

meh I have the time to test and tweak until it's good. this is my only non-work project atm

[rustic ermine]

date.now() before http request
date.now() after promise is resolved - first one

[warm mason]

I thought so..

Did you know that when you do await minecraft leaves it for other ticks. It won't pause the whole game just to wait for a response from the server

So your 50ms don't create that kind of load.

[rustic ermine]

yes, but the point I was trying to put into words was that there is still a delay from when the player sees the result. for example when they open their bank, or switch bank tabs, etc, the menu can't update until it has received the item data from backend

and I don't want to cache within scriptAPI

[warm mason]

why?

[rustic ermine]

because there is a memory limit

[round bone]

use Redis on back-end like me

[warm mason]

Do you have megabytes of variables there?

I need to check this limit by the way...

[rustic ermine]

its 200mb. and no, not currently storing that much, but in the long term it could be so planning around that

[rustic ermine]

sec lol

const a = performance.now()
const players = database.database.prepare("SELECT * FROM players").all();
const skills = database.database.prepare("SELECT skill_name, level, current_xp, remaining_xp FROM player_skills WHERE ID = 1").all();
const b = performance.now()
console.log(`${b - a}`)

0.05379999999999541ms

ignore database.database

just crap testing code

[sly valve]

Ohh thats Cool, I also tried this ince but gave up because im stupid and will never achieve this type of smartness

[rustic ermine]

packet size comes out to about 2kb counting headers for entire player profile not counting items. but multiply that by player count, then 800 items in bank per player, then auction house system, etc, is why not caching within minecraft JS

[subtle cove]

why not make it like

["mining", 1, 0, 83]

[rustic ermine]

I could, just threw this together yesterday, still havent optimized the packets

player skills do get cached on the minecraft side though. just loaded once on login

then player['skill_name'] to get level etc behind a function

export function skillMenu(player: Player) {
    let skillMenu = new ChestFormData('single')
    skillMenu.title('§l§5Skills')
    SKILL_DEFINITIONS.forEach((skill: string[], index: number) => {
        skillMenu.button(index, `§l§6${skill[0].toUpperCase()}`, [`Current XP: ${player[skill[0] + "_xp"]}`,
        `XP Remaining: ${player[skill[0] + "_xp_r"]}`], `${skill[1]}`, player[skill[0]])
    })

    skillMenu.show(player).then(response => {
        if (response.canceled) return;
        world.sendMessage(`${player.name} has chosen item ${response.selection}`);
    })
};

[round bone]

do you care about back-end performance that much, so that's why you're not using any ORM or you're not familiar with any?

[dusky flicker]

you gotta bind

[sly valve]

Compress them lol, would work pefectly, use LZ like algorythms

[rustic ermine]

I just dont see the need for ORM to be honest. the code i put above isn't how I will be doing it on the final version. it will have prepared statements ready to go that just take the params in the function call

[dusky flicker]

the code normally understands this.stuff, when passing as callback, without the 'this'

so you gotta bind it to the instance

weird functionalities of js

but its what its

[sly valve]

Not really, its the logic i think

[round bone]

it provides a bit better with DX with databases tbh

[rustic ermine]

yeah it can. I've used LINQ a lot in the past and it was nice, but once upon a time I tried to force myself not rely on having something like that so almost just prefer raw statements now I guess

[dusky flicker]

you know that sql has jit and everything right?

[dusky flicker]

and orms dont mess up with performance

they just build a query

has a small overhead but nothing that will make the code slow

[rustic ermine]

good to know. part of the reason though is that a lot of my past projects have been in different languages so never really bothered to learn one single ORM because there's been a few times it wasn't available for X language

[dusky flicker]

generally the drivers are supported by any lang you can think of

but if theyre not

[rustic ermine]

rust is the main offender lol

[dusky flicker]

in theory you can make your own

the db server is literslly a server that waits for requests via tcp

[round bone]

they make a minor difference, but still they're really good

[dusky flicker]

so you can simply make some requests with the query as the content

and in theory it might work

[rustic ermine]

yeah, usually I would try to program with some adapter pattern so the backend wouldn't matter, just have been very lazy about it this time around 😦

[dusky flicker]

minor = more chances of you fucking the code due to not knowing how to optimize it than the orm itself

[rustic ermine]

i'll try it since the backend is still in early stages, any recommendations?

[dusky flicker]

i generally prefer using rust orms

since ima rustcean guy

[rustic ermine]

they are good now, but they werent a few years ago (rust ORMs)

[dusky flicker]

of orm?

[rustic ermine]

yes

[dusky flicker]

im using drizzle for a webapp im doing

i think it's pretty straightforward

theres prisma and typeorm

well, im just talking about ts orms

normally i'd use seaorm, but its for rust

[rustic ermine]

thanks. I'm not up to date on what people use these days. my peak of learning libraries was 10 years ago when I had to for work. It was exhausting keeping up so have just stuck with what I am familiar with, i'll check them out

[dusky flicker]

neither i. im a system programming guy, im just learning about fullstacl because i found a jov interview which requires so

[round bone]

still raw query is faster

[rustic ermine]

uhg good luck. I thought about switching to a webdev job a while ago but ended up just staying put. so many requirements on the job postings for different stacks. I currently do cybersec for DOD

[round bone]

I am not using raw queries but ORM's will always be a bit slower than raw queries

[dusky flicker]

you got what i meant

there are more chances that we as developers make the code slow than an orm

[rustic ermine]

bit slower but 99% of the time doesn't matter for a db server

[round bone]

yeah

[rustic ermine]

will say, have been a bit impressed with the quickJS engine minecraft uses. was expecting bottlenecks all over but haven't really found anything deal breaking

[dusky flicker]

im very triggered due to the fact that a lot of stuff on js community are simply implicit

[rustic ermine]

yeah you pretty much had to learn the current stuff in school and have done it as a hobby for real projects the entire time then have some solid work to show for the interview it feels like. feels like it would take more time to catch up than it is worth

[round bone]

web dev is pretty hard for beginners, especially learning all more stuff when it comes to learn NPM + back-end services

[rustic ermine]

it's easy if you pick one thing and stick with it. the problem comes from the "one thing to know" being different every year today

if PHP was still mainsteam in the US i'd be all over it lol

[round bone]

you have to learn new JavaScript framework every 2 weeks

just joking, but you have to move from one framework to another every few years

[round bone]

I am glad that PHP is dying

😃

[distant tulip]

every gov and uni site still using that shit

[round bone]

if I would eventually start working for government or any university, I would rewrite every site without using WordPress and jQuery

🤮

[rustic ermine]

lmao

[distant tulip]

you just stated why you will not get hired in those

[rustic ermine]

in DOD its all contracted out now anyway

which has the amazing side effect of them never understanding our actual requirements. at this point it feels like its intentional so they can keep the money tree alive

[halcyon phoenix]

I wanna spawn it

[dusky flicker]

i think the worst is that no one explain the "why" of things

and how things work

instead they just show how to use it

i like understanding what in hell is a state on react

its better than simply "oh const[state, setState] = useState(0)"

and thats all

but the concepts on the web their self is pretty simple

seriously i did struggle more learning about Arc in rust

and deadlocks

[round bone]

yeah, you get to know these things after coding for a bit of time

[round bone]

no one has ever told me that it's a val/setVal arr returning function that is calling also render every setVal call

information like this is also giving a lot for newbies tbh

[dusky flicker]

i really wanted to emit the re render by my self

[round bone]

getting to know framework, library or even an entire language is making you a better programmer in thic topic

[dusky flicker]

to batch stuff

[round bone]

xD

[dusky flicker]

seriously i made a batcher on wgpu

but i didnt get react

[round bone]

I am not doing much front-end development, beacuse I am colorblind a bit

😦

[dusky flicker]

REACT DOENST FUCKING ALLOW HOOKS INSIDE IFS AND FUNCTIONS

bro

[round bone]

but when I have design with UI/UX checked I can actually implement it

[dusky flicker]

that just piss me so much

[dusky flicker]

when talking about backend i rewlly dont think stuff are complicated

[rustic ermine]

#[pin_project(project = MapProjection)]
pub struct MapFuture<'m, F: Future + 'm, O> {
    #[pin]
    future: F,
    output: PhantomData<O>,

}

impl<'m, F: Future, O> MapFuture<'m, F, O> {
    fn new<M: Mapper<'m, F::Output, O>>(future: F, mapper: M) -> Self {
        Self { future, output: PhantomData, mapper: Some(Box::new(mapper)) }
    }
}

}

    type Output = O;

    fn poll(
        mut self: Pin<&mut Self>,

    ) -> Poll<Self::Output> {
        let mut projection = self.as_mut().project();
        let maybe_ready = projection.future.as_mut().poll(cx);

        maybe_ready.map(|input| projection.map(input))
    }
}

this was the worst for me in rust. manual futures

[round bone]

back-end is easy if you're familiar with language and database stuff

[dusky flicker]

the only thig i struggle is login

[round bone]

it took me few hours to implement my first auth system

[dusky flicker]

because no one explains what the fuck is oauth2

[round bone]

that's another thing that you're getting to know on your own

[dusky flicker]

why not using tokio or async std?

[round bone]

I think all of these YouTubers are trying to make their tutorial as hard as possible to make people quit programming

[dusky flicker]

same

[round bone]

but hey, our salary is even higher then!

[dusky flicker]

ive seen a video that "teaches" oauth2

bro the solution was just

[rustic ermine]

just wanted to understand how it worked in the background. I use tokio today

[dusky flicker]

"copy my code and trust 👍"

[dusky flicker]

thats one thing i might make as well to understand

[round bone]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hgzi8KHAsg

[dusky flicker]

i forgot how its laughing on english

but i laughed a lot

[halcyon phoenix]

yes

most courses/tutorials, and even school does that

no need to explain it

just do this and voila there you go

then on exams all you have to do is memorize

and move on then forgot

no need to explain why it happens why you do that, why is this part important, it's all just do this and it will work

it's frustrating

[dusky flicker]

gotta agree

my math teacher, when i was on 11th grade i guess(here on Brazil the system is different so im using some equivalents)

he simply used to teach "logic"

by doing that you said

i wnated to understand what an equation meant and why is that the way it is

he literally said "i think you might ask math itself then"

[halcyon phoenix]

that's infuriating

I also got blessed by a teacher that's opposite he teaches some script/coding stuff and math, and was very in-depth however, every single one of my classmate and as well as other section he handles hated him for that.

man...

[dusky flicker]

teenagers are idiots

generally people dont like studying

well, here in Brazil thats the norm

the thing is that, math, coding and that stuff is complex

[round bone]

I feel mentioned as an idiot in this message

[dusky flicker]

nobody wants to face the truth that "hm, im dumb as hell"

[dusky flicker]

i mean in general and based on what i live

if you think that doesn't apply, then it wasnt meant to you

[halcyon phoenix]

they don't feel that sense of accomplishment once you solve a problem or a bug

[dusky flicker]

i almost die due to dopamin overdose when that happens

[halcyon phoenix]

LOL

[round bone]

in Poland the same

[cyan basin]

Simulated players seem to be scared of ladders being on the top most block.. I had to remove the top ladder for them to climb on it.

[subtle cove]

Learning the perspectives of why our mistake are dumb is what sparks development. If I might add

[subtle cove]

Then did u try the structureManager already?

[obtuse plover]

Do someone know how to keep the player able to place block on top of one with onPlayerInteract custom component?

[open urchin]

not possible

[rustic ermine]

Hold crouch then put it on it

[obtuse plover]

Im really mad now... thx

[visual zephyr]

how do you set a skin to simulated players?

[cyan basin]

I don’t know

I’m trying to figure that out

test.setSkin({
    personaPieces: [{
        id: "",
        packId: "",
        productId: "",
        type: PersonaPieceType.Skin,
    }],
    armSize: PersonaArmSize.Wide,
});```

This exists but you need the id, pack id and product id as they’re all required but I don’t have a clue on where to get those ids from

[open urchin]

you can get your own skin data with getPlayerSkin

[round bone]

import { getSkinPlayer } from "@minecraft/server-gametest"

const foundPlayer = world.getAllPlayers().filter((player) => player.name === "your-name")
if (foundPlayer) test.setSkin(getSkinPlayer(foundPlayer))

[cyan basin]

What about for custom skins though?

This is just for using a skin that already exists within the world

[visual zephyr]

maybe it can use some workarounds like if your just doing it solo change your skin temporarily and get that skinID then apply it to the simulatedPlayer

not sure

[round bone]

you have to know it's pack identifier, product's identifier and general identifier

[visual zephyr]

how to get that tho?

[cyan basin]

Fr

That doesn’t help me.. I can tell what it requires from reading it (not trying to sound like a dick)

[visual zephyr]

i assume packId and productId is meant for marketplace skinpacks

[round bone]

you can't really get it dynamicly [without using some API or other stuff]

[valid ice]

😭 🙏

[cyan basin]

welp.. setSkin didn't work on the simulated player

[somber sundial]

Is there something other than playerLeave to run code when the host leaves the game? I am trying to remove entities on leave yet nothing i try is working. I've tried doing it in the afterEvent and also the beforeEvent with a system.run() call but I assume they're both running too late for me to do anything to the world. The same code works when running from a command so it's definitely related to when it's being called

[somber sundial]

i have resorted to creating a ticking area and removing the entities in the first playerSpawn(), even worldLoad after event doesn't work (despite it supposed to be running after the world has started ticking)

[sharp elbow]

Are you aware of the "minecraft:transient" component? @somber sundial

[somber sundial]

I did not but that's exactly what i need. Thanks!

[buoyant canopy]

i just learned that you can write new properties to a class instance

[sly valve]

You mean Object.prototype
Or Object.defineProperty ?

[distant gulch]

with server net would it b possible to create an ai in minecarft chat?

[buoyant canopy]

i mean
block.whatever = 5

you could call it later with block.whatever

[sly valve]

Yes, either yiu use the net module or you create your own Neural Network and Train it

[sly valve]

Ah i see

[distant gulch]

never seen someone do it tbh

ill add it to my list of projects

[sly valve]

One has already done it
I did if as well but i failed

[sly valve]

https://mcpedl.com/ai/

[distant gulch]

oh nicee

[wintry bane]

block.isSolid when?

[open urchin]

never

their plan is to eventually split it up into what it actually represents

e.g. .isBreathable, .isSpawnable, .isRedstoneConductor

[cyan basin]

?

[open urchin]

I doubt it will ever exit beta

[cyan basin]

oh is that what they were wondering?

if it would become stable?

[open urchin]

probably

[cyan basin]

^^^ ?

[wintry bane]

Trapdoors, carpets, torches, light blocks, plants etc.

[open urchin]

isSolid does exist in beta but don't expect it to exist forever

[wintry bane]

entity.target

Still in beta purgatory

[cyan basin]

a lot of them would be

a lot of us will be jumping for joy once we see playerHurtBeforeEvent

it honestly might scare the devs 🤣

[wintry bane]

Or player saturation component

[cyan basin]

we have access to saturation now no?

[wintry bane]

Beta

[cyan basin]

oh yeah, well that was recent so it'll be a pretty while before it becomes stable

i mean i'm quite surprised beforeChat still isn't stable yet

not sure why that's taken so long

[granite badger]

y’all making me double check everything

[wintry bane]

It's too powerful for stable folk

[cyan basin]

i'm checking myself lmao

[wintry bane]

Im literally looking at your site rn lol

[cyan basin]

everytime they mention something lol

Jayly just be lurking 🤣

[wintry bane]

Block entities vs block dynamic components

Which would be better..

Diff usecases i believe

[cyan basin]

I thought you said dynamic props for a sec there.. I was about to say lmao

[jagged gazelle]

both are needed but you really can't compare them lol

[lone mango]

Trying to remove all monster entities within a volume, and this is executing, but not picking up any monsters:

            const eqo = {
                families: [ "monster" ],
                location: pos1,
                volume: pos2,
            };

            for (const entity of dimension.getEntities(eqo)) {
                world.sendMessage("Entity Removed");
                entity.remove();
            }

The "entity removed" never shows up, so that's the part that isn't executing, but I dunno why.

I made sure to put some monsters in the area

[halcyon phoenix]

I haven't but I've read the documentatio and yes it's doable

[halcyon phoenix]

however

I just need for the interacted entity

if in case I save a entity in that location and somehow there's another entity in there it would save 2 of them instead of just the interacted one

so it's doable but not the solution

[subtle cove]

Good point, now with the concept of array.filter u now have the entities list, replicate the copy elsewhere and reduce it to one then save that specific entity, officially

U can separate em by tags or dynamic property, they get saved as well

[shut vessel]

who know how to detect bow hit ?

[subtle cove]

projectileHitBlock, projectileHitEntity

[shut vessel]

thanks

world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.subscribe(({ projectile, hitEntity, damagingEntity }) => {
  const wifmatscore = world.scoreboard.getObjective("kit").getScore(damagingEntity);

  if (wifmatscore === 29) {
    if (Math.random() <= 1) { 
      hitEntity.applyDamage(999, {
        cause: "void",
      });
    }
  }
});```

when i get the projectile it i had a error

and i try like this but it didnt work

[warped blaze]

what's the error

nvm

@shut vessel

world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.subscribe(eventData => {
  const { projectile, source } = eventData;
  const target = eventData.getEntityHit().entity;
  if (!source || !target) return;
  const wifmatscore = world.scoreboard.getObjective("kit").getScore(source);

  if (wifmatscore === 29) {
      target.applyDamage(999, {
        cause: "void",
      });
  }
});```

also
Math.random() <= 1
doesn't make any sense since it will always be true, Math.random() generates a number between 0 and 0.9999

[shut vessel]

ahhh my bad

thanks

[warped blaze]

does anyone know if the new shelves use the BlockInventoryComponent?

[thorn flicker]

you can check with hasComponent

[warped blaze]

yeah ik, but i can't really do it rn so that's why i asked

[thorn flicker]

it does not

also why do chiseled bookshelves not drop anything lol

okay then

[little hull]

is there a script for making damage area something?

[warped blaze]

just use Dimension.getEntities() with the filter

[warped blaze]

😭😭😭

i hope they add a way to get and edit it

[little hull]

no i wanna create like a dmage area like the how the create explosion works

[warped blaze]

but you can do it the way i said

[little hull]

will it be performance heavy?

[thorn flicker]

getEntities supports entityQueryOptions.

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0/interfaces/EntityQueryOptions.html

[little hull]

cause most of the entities will be using it

[thorn flicker]

define the location, and the maxDistance

[warped blaze]

i don't think so

[thorn flicker]

it should be fine.

[little hull]

what if a hundred entities is using it?

[thorn flicker]

well

[little hull]

i wanna optimize it so that it wont cause lag issues

[thorn flicker]

you are going to get lag then, no doubt.

100 entities would cause lag alone anyways

[warped blaze]

you can always just implement it via the entity.json iirc

[little hull]

the reason im using this is because the delayed_attacking component behaviour has this bug regarding collision issues when the entity is too close it doesnt detect it as delayed_attacking thats why

[thorn flicker]

if you want an explosion, you could disable it destroying blocks in the method.

if thats the issue

maybe you want a custom particle

[little hull]

im making a more accurate attack system that doesnt require path finding thingy

[final ocean]

What name event blockBreak in api 2.0.0-beta

[warped blaze]

2.0.0 is no longer beta.

[thorn flicker]

playerBreakBlock

[final ocean]

In 1.21.81

[warped blaze]

oh

mb

[thorn flicker]

well, its best to assume everyone is on latest.

[final ocean]

But how to make it automatically added to inventory when mining a block?

[halcyon phoenix]

why not just stringify and parse the entity object and save it to dynamic properties?

[jagged gazelle]

No.

[halcyon phoenix]

welp

dang

[jagged gazelle]

try parsing it in log.

Look what's only accessible

same goes to itemStack. itemStack returns {}

also stringifying it lost lots of data.

and no you can't spawn entity by parsing it since spawnEntity requires STRING

[halcyon phoenix]

dang i can't save data

thanks coddy I'll try and find other ways

[subtle cove]

Hence, Entity.prototype.clone() when

[cursive fog]

What does source.runCommandAsync do?

[subtle cove]

Sth similar to ```js
system.run(() => d.runCommand('say hi'))

[halcyon phoenix]

LOL

one day, one day...

[rustic ermine]

runCommandAsync is deprecated

[cursive fog]

runCommand still works?

[rustic ermine]

yeah

Dimension: 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

from scripting 2.0 release

[cursive fog]

Can run command be triggered by case?

Like Case 0

[rustic ermine]

it can be done wherever you want in code

[regal folio]

Can someone help?

#1397807239892566138

[cursive fog]

Mm k

@rustic ermine sorry for ping
One last
Does runCommand work like tick.json or it only runs the command once?

[rustic ermine]

the command itself only runs once, but that does not stop you from making it run like a tick

    system.runInterval(() => {
        player.dimension.runCommand(...)
    }, 20)      //Once per second

etc

[regal folio]

How do I get an array of blocks from an area similar to full but only returning an array of blocks that I can edit after

?

[thorn flicker]

that would be nice.

[halcyon phoenix]

block volumes

[final ocean]

But how to make it automatically added to inventory when mining a block?

[regal folio]

How do I make things comma separated but if there’s a space, ignore it like eg. “hello,what, bedrock, end, hello what” = [“hello”, “what”, “bedrock”, “end”, “hello what”]

[rustic ermine]

    const my_string = "hello,what, bedrock,  end, hello what";
    const new_string = my_string.replace(", ", "§T").split("§T")

[regal folio]

what?

This makes no sense

Please explain

[rustic ermine]

what doesn't make sense about it?

[regal folio]

What is §T??

[rustic ermine]

a placeholder for the split that would not naturally occur in a string

[regal folio]

How does that remove spaces after commas?

There’s no code that does that in there

[rustic ermine]

because it replaces all ", " with §T, then splits at the §T and returns a string[] without any §T

[regal folio]

Problem: I could just do comma with 2 spaces

[rustic ermine]

probably a way to regex that but I dont have time to mess with it atm sorry

[regal folio]

How do I make things comma separated but if there’s a space, ignore it like eg. “hello,what, bedrock, end, hello what” = [“hello”, “what”, “bedrock”, “end”, “hello what”]

[valid ice]

But why

[regal folio]

Wdym

This is coming from a user input

Text box

[valid ice]

Why do that in the first place

Oh

[regal folio]

Now you see what I mean?

I need something robust

[valid ice]

Why not have them input \n for new lines, if that’s your goal

[regal folio]

Comma is simpler

How do I do this (with commas)

[rustic ermine]

const my_string = "hello,what, bedrock,  end, hello what";
const new_string = my_string.replace(/,\s*/g, ",").split(",");

[regal folio]

What’s this?

[rustic ermine]

regex

[regal folio]

Ok Lemme try

[regal folio]

Can I do this with split?

Oh wait yea

[subtle cove]

textField.split(/(?:\s+|),(?:\s+|)/)

[jagged gazelle]

use before events player break block, cancel block break if you're in preview you can check the loot with the API Loot manager and get the item stack it returns based on item used and block mined and give it to player using addItem, but if you're in stable version use loot command

[final ocean]

So how does it work on enchant fortune > 3

[jagged gazelle]

Loot command doesn't have an option for that.

The API version only

[final ocean]

So is there any way?

[cursive fog]

Anything wrong with this?

[jagged gazelle]

Send the code, I can't just assume it especially it was cut off

[cursive fog]

import { world, system, Dimension } from "@minecraft/server"
import { ActionFormData } from "@minecraft/server-ui"


let ui
let customUi;

          source.runCommand('say Grip Equiped')
          break;
      }
    })

  }
});

[jagged gazelle]

Noo, you don't need to put it source.selection put it as Selection

same how you used canceled

[cursive fog]

Ight i edited them
After that?

[jagged gazelle]

That's all.

[cursive fog]

The case 0 is ok?

[jagged gazelle]

Hmm

I might give you a better system later or never

[cursive fog]

So if i press
The first button will it trigger case 0?

[jagged gazelle]

yes. It's index-0 based

[cursive fog]

If u want ehh
I can wait too

[cursive fog]

If i add a second button
And make case 1
Will the 2nd button trigger case 1?

Sorry for these uhh
Dumb questions

😭

[jagged gazelle]

Yes that's correct

[cursive fog]

W i see

[distant tulip]

There is no such a thing as a dumb question
That's how we learn, you will be stuck without knowing otherwise.

[cursive fog]

Yeah😭
Im kinda worried yall would call me dumb for these basic ahh problems(on yall atleast)

@jagged gazelle uhh sorry for ping
What now💔

Wym canceled is not defined

[jagged gazelle]

wha?

[rustic ermine]

I hate that I'm starting to like AI for tedious things

[cursive fog]

I think this is problem
Should i uhh add a space on it

[cursive fog]

CS grads is cooked now i guess

[jagged gazelle]

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(({ itemStack, source: player }) => {
  if (itemStack.typeId === 'minecraft:stick') {
    customUi.show(player).then(({ canceled, selection }) => {
      if (canceled) return;

      switch (selection) {
        case 0: break;
        case 1: break;
      }
    });
  }
});```

[rustic ermine]

It also gave me specific examples of how certain things in scriptAPI perform, and gave a full breakdown of why. lol

[cursive fog]

I think i removed the canceled part here💀

[visual zephyr]

how can i make my custom entity react with playerinteractwithentity

i already added the interact component

[cerulean cliff]

Can we not check if a block is replaceable if via the script api?

[visual zephyr]

maybe dont use Dimension

use player.sendMessage instead or world.sendMessage

[halcyon phoenix]

is it possible to disable the bundle interaction? the drop on interact?

[wary edge]

No.

[cerulean cliff]

sad :(

but good to know!

[loud brook]

Hey guys, so I want to summon an entity and giving it a tag at the same time any ideas how can I do that?, I tried to look in dimension.spawnEntity for perhaps any answer but I couldn't find a way to add a tag to a mob spawned through script.

Dimension.runCommand(`summon ${type} ${Math.floor(Location.x)} ${Math.floor(Location.y)-1} ${Math.floor(Location.z)-1} 180`)

[halcyon phoenix]

    const {itemStack, source} = e;
    mc.system.run(() =>{
        if (itemStack && itemStack.typeId == "tm:mob_container") {
            sc.print("clear");
        }
    })
});

why the heck does this cancel bundle interaction?

[wary edge]

SpawnEntity returns an Entoty instance so you can add a tag to it.

[halcyon phoenix]

I can no longer drop items somehow on use

is this a bug?

[loud brook]

oh I am going to try it rq

[halcyon phoenix]

mc.world.beforeEvents.itemUse.subscribe((e) =>{});

this disables bundle on use, why??????

bug?

am I missing something?

[loud brook]

@wary edge Hey, (I apologize about the ping)

Dimension.spawnEntity(`${type}`, {x: Math.floor(Location.x),y: (Math.floor(Location.y)-1),z: Math.floor(Location.z)}, {initialRotation: 180})

For some reason, it doesn't spawn the entity anymore

[cursive fog]

Hmmm
Now you said that
Maybe say command doesnt work with run command?

[halcyon phoenix]

what's the error?

[loud brook]

It doesn't spawn the entity anymore, for some reason when I used runCommand before it worked

[halcyon phoenix]

there should be an error output with that

open the console

[loud brook]

it doesn't say anything tho

[loud brook]

btw, just to be sure, the entity identifier should be in string right?

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

"minecraft:zombie"

[loud brook]

btw, is initialRotation in spawnEntity new? (I am asking this just for the possibility that my script isn't update it enough)

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah it's on beta

make sure you're on beta

[loud brook]

Yup that was the problem

bruh, but I don't want to use beta, hmmmmm

perhaps I could change its rotation by teleport

[loud brook]

thx for the help btw

[loud brook]

let entity = Dimension.spawnEntity(type, {x: Math.floor(Location.x), y: (Math.floor(Location.y)-1), z: Math.floor(Location.z)})
            entity.addTag(`${hitEntity.getComponent('minecraft:projectile').owner.name}`)
            console.warn(entity.getTags())

hmmm, for some reason it doesn't give the tag

[wary edge]

If I recall, you need to wait 1 tick before calling getTags

[loud brook]

and how do I wait 1 tick?

[somber sundial]

system.runTimeout(() => {}, 1)

[loud brook]

oh thx

[loud brook]

still didn't work

[jagged gazelle]

using itemUse disable the bundle.

[jagged gazelle]

lemme guess you used it form the import? If yes that ain't gonna work. instead use actual dimension... source.dimension.runCommand()

[cursive fog]

The ones with capital letter?

So...
player.dimension.runCommand?

[dusky flicker]

its O(n)

its slow as hell

verifying for each entity on the world and seeing if theyre in a radius will suck

i got no idea on how to solve that but for sure i'd use what you said as a prototype

[somber sundial]

can always just try adding more delay until it works and see if it's consistent

you did put the console.warn inside of the timeout function also, right?

[cursive fog]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAQ

@jagged gazelle THANKSSSS

[loud brook]

Hey, it actually worked man thanks!, it turns out there was a bug that somehow prevented the timout from running

[loud brook]

Thanks man, it worked

[halcyon phoenix]

WHY

[jagged gazelle]

I dunno...

[halcyon phoenix]

wth

that's clearly a bug

@wary edge can you shed some light on this?

[visual zephyr]

how can i make an entity target another entity

like for example i will command a zombie to target this specific player using custom commands

using script api

[jagged gazelle]

damage...

Entity.target is beta and read-only.

[visual zephyr]

like i want my entity to go there

[visual zephyr]

yeah i also know that but idk if its possible to set a target

[north frigate]

imagine if all the community worked on one project

[cyan basin]

it would end up being a stressed mess

everyone has their own way of doing stuff and would just get tangled in with each other

[jagged gazelle]

I love how this is already discussed before (that includes me there)... It wouldn't work too btw, this type of thing already happened before and 10 members per group is already a mess, having more than that would be bad.

I forgot what JAM was that

[subtle cove]

but perhaps another JAM for everyone... 👀

[sly valve]

Hey guys

would anyone be so nice to help me with a Script?

I need a Tick Scheduler.
It should be able to register intervals or timeouts.

// e.g
const scheduler = new TickScheduler()
scheduler.interval(() => {}, 5) // returns an ID

works like basically like system.runInterval
but its different.
it contains scheduler.tick()
its a clock.
so i can easily stop executing .tick and the game will be paused.
I need this for my game

I need it to be optimized. not just an array with data. more like a bucket maybe

or some other algorythms

I'd appreciate any help

[warm mason]

So you basically need the ability to pause runInterval?

[sly valve]

pause/continue for runInterval and for runTimeout

[warm mason]

I will make a script resource

[sly valve]

Thank you, some human i guess*

why would you set a worldLoadAfterEvent inside a function lol

For UI to load

you don't need those privileges to create an ActionFormData instance afaik

I'll make it cleaner because using switch inside of another switch is ugly ash

[jagged gazelle]

-# shh

[cursive fog]

@jagged gazelle it works now lol

[cursive fog]

Ill keep ts i guess

[jagged gazelle]

I made this a bit flexible, a lil bit long but it works lol...

[jagged gazelle]

the buttons have two required things, the name of the button which is text and funct... You use the name you put in funct to be used in the buttons_funct to adjust what it runs.

[cursive fog]

Funct? Is it functions?

[jagged gazelle]

that's just custom name I did.

[cursive fog]

Oh

Ye that one looks modular

[jagged gazelle]

I guess it's better you don't use that lol

[distant tulip]

uh... why is the ui in world load

[cursive fog]

But currently i need smth that works💀
So ill be sticking on the ones i currently worked on

[cursive fog]

Ye

My release schedule is wayy off now because of ts💔

[warped blaze]

hasn't this happened before?

like

some guy opening a ui with a blue apple and thanking coddy

[cursive fog]

Thats me

This ones diffrent

Basically second menu

The first one is to test functional button

[rustic ermine]

Dead in the water unless I can solve either of these.. trying to mimick OSRS combat, which I have done with scriptAPI, but two entity related issues make it feel awful and wondering if anyone has a solution.

1. Knock back Resistance component does nothing on the player. Makes my combat system feel awful when the player is in a timer based combat loop but gets thrown back every time enemy hits.
2. If 1 is not solvable, trying to get an entity to pathfind into melee range then fire an event for script to read.. which I understand is not possible, so thought of maybe having them get into melee range then fire invisible projectiles so script can detect the collision event. That one is easy but feels weird and has the side effect of the enemy being able to "miss" outside of the normal damage negation calculation

Any inputs or recommendations? Wish we had more entity script control but meh. Is almost deal breaker enough considering going back to Java 😵‍💫

[halcyon phoenix]

solution: wait till mojang add entityHit beforeEvent

[rustic ermine]

Don't want to rely on that because I've been waiting for that since scriptAPI first released lol

[prisma shard]

doesn't .some method in here works same as .filter in this case?

[prisma shard]

yea its cool you can save stuff in it like a variable

[deep quiver]

im pretty sure .some returns an boolean

since when do we have skin apis

[unreal cove]

Simulated players, afaik it's not for the actual players

[deep quiver]

.getSkin should work for normal player tho right?

[round bone]

No, some returns a boolean

Filter is returning all elements that are returning true for applied function

[stark kestrel]

is there a way to cancel damages? since theres no god dayum beforeEvents for entityHurt

😭 why

or if i just want to disable every player vs player damage?

WITHOUT weakness effect

[untold magnet]

uh, is it possible to do camerashake using scripts? like without runCommand it?

[wary edge]

No.

[untold magnet]

alright, i have to use runCommand for it

[cinder shadow]

erm teChNICaLLY

[final ocean]

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

function isInventoryFull(player) {
    const inv = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory");
    if (!inv) return true;

    const container = inv.container;
    if (!container) return true;

    for (let i = 0; i < container.size; i++) {
        const slot = container.getItem(i);
        if (!slot || slot.amount < slot.maxAmount) return false;
    }
    return true;
}

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    if (isInventoryFull(event.player)) {
        event.cancel = true;
        event.player.sendMessage("§cTúi đồ đầy! Không thể phá block.");
    }
});

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { dimension, block, player } = event;

    if (!isInventoryFull(player)) {
        const drops = dimension.getEntities({
            type: "minecraft:item",
            location: block.location,
            maxDistance: 3
        });

        for (const item of drops) {
            item.teleport(player.location);
        }
    }
});

My code has no errors so why can I still mine blocks when the inventory is full?

I will go to sleep and wait until tomorrow
Good night!!!

[floral timber]

well, if any of ur slots arent entirely filled even when its not the desired block, from what i see, ur isInventoryFull func will return false.

make sure all of ur slots are fully filled, and it should work.

[floral timber]

or u could just remove the latter part

if (!slot) //code or u might wanna check if there's that particular block in the inv and if its filled or not.

[warped blaze]

stringifying ItemStacks and then parsing them was a valid way of saving them, right?

or am i wrong?

[distant tulip]

you are wrong

[warped blaze]

idk why but i felt like it was the way

[warped blaze]

but there is a way, isn't it?

[distant tulip]

#1252014916496527380

[warped blaze]

yeah i saw that but I'd have to update it to work on 2.0.0 so i thought i could do it another way

anyway thx

[distant tulip]

👆

[jagged gazelle]

Nuh uh... you can store them in a normal variable and call them in itemStack related things but you can't stringify() and parse() then since it always returns {} in stringifying it.

[buoyant canopy]

is there a checklist for updating from scripts 1.x to 2.0?

i really don't want to just update and manually test my scripts and fix them one by one

[wary edge]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scripting/v2-overview?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

thank you

Oh, i got it thanks

    }
});

does anyone have a better idea in this its an attack system

[hoary panther]

How do I go about building a block permutation from scratch? Like if I want to place a block and i need to set certain states of it how do I get the base permutation to edit or generate the permutation to feed into the setblock call?

[warped blaze]

first you get your block instance, then access its permutation via Block.permutation, then change the desired states with Permutation.withState("stateId", value), and finally use Dimension.setBlockPermutation(yourPermitationHere)

-# argument for .setBlockPermutation() has to be a BlockPermutation class instance, not Block

[hoary panther]

Oh thats not what I did but thanks for helping

[hoary panther]

I used BlockPermutation.resolve
It worked tho

[warped blaze]

I've totally forgot about it lol

yeah you can also do that

[hoary panther]

Well thanks for helping!

[warped blaze]

anyways, your doubt was about how to place the permutation in the world, right?

[hoary panther]

Nah it was the generation part

I got it all working now

Day 2 Learning ScriptAPI🛏️

[halcyon phoenix]

system.runInterval(()=>{
    dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:creeper",{x;0, y:0, z:0})
})

[jagged gazelle]

It's been a long long time since I experienced hang... What the hell did you do.

[halcyon phoenix]

he used runInterval without caution

[sly valve]

or ```js
(function bootstrap() {
bootstrap()
})();

[granite cape]

we try to make essentials addon

[sly valve]

use discord at least..

[granite cape]

maybe next time when the project public we make discord server

[sly valve]

Okay nice, wanna be friends?

[granite cape]

🛏️

[sly valve]

🛏️

[sour sedge]

If I want to give custom loot for a vanilla block (in this case a bed that the player breaks), should I use PlayerBreakBlockBeforeEvent or PlayerBreakBlockAfterEvent ?

[sly valve]

Use PlayerBreakBlockBeforeEvent
So you can cancel the block break > remove the bed by script > spawn custom loot

[unreal cove]

You can’t edit the vanilla blocks btw

[sly valve]

Really? What a shame

[unreal cove]

Yeah, there block json definition isn’t exposed yet

[sly valve]

I see

Isnt it cool btw that Minecratft stores all Languages and lang files of every language but you will only use one for years

So many useless stuff and I cannot delete it

I wonder how unoptimized Windows is..

[deep quiver]

just try using any of the windows apis, its a ancient relic of the past and so horrible to work with

[sly valve]

Lol

[sly valve]

Oh i've seen this before, for what do you need Entity.target?

[jagged gazelle]

setting target?

I mean it's already self explanatory.

[sly valve]

setting? it is read-only wdym by "setting"

you can only read it

[jagged gazelle]

description?

[sly valve]

Huh, lol my bad

I were distracted by the read-only

but it seems like it's a accessory or how its called

[jagged gazelle]

They should add breed component next.

[sly valve]

const breedComp = catgirlEntity.getComponent("minecraft:breedable");
if (!breedComp || !breedComp.isBreed) return;

while (true) breedComp.breed(targetPlayer);

indeed

[unreal cove]

interesting

[sly valve]

It is

[distant tulip]

Run interval do not cause hang

[halcyon phoenix]

oh yeah I forgor

I was spawning entity not looping it's self

next time I'll ouroboros some script

[cursive fog]

Whats the problem here?

So i plan to import attachment.js

[granite cape]

forgot /

must like this path,

import './attachment'

or maybe can this (untest)

import 'attachment'

[cursive fog]

Oh ok

[round bone]

not recommended, use it in TypeScript (compiler will handle it) or use relative paths

import "./attachment"

is better in this case

[untold magnet]

uh, just making sure*
is it possible to rotate the player head without having to teleport it?

[round bone]

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

[untold magnet]

something like this player.setRotation({x:1, y:0})?

[round bone]

Should work I think

[untold magnet]

it doesnt

ywah whatever

[warm mason]

setRotation doesn't work on players

[untold magnet]

not even logs

[subtle cove]

is tp facing not an option for that...

[untold magnet]

i was trying to rotate the screen without having to give the player nausea

but it kinda looks good in this way

[final ocean]

How can I create a bedrock mining function where I hold a pickaxe and when I hold it for 7 seconds the bedrock block breaks and drops an item.
Yes I think it is difficult but after I learn it I won't need help

[round bone]

I was thinking the same at the moment, but docs does not mention that this method is not working for players, so I thought it might work

[midnight crane]

Is there a way to make it so if an entity is near another entity with a tag they first entity blast back the way the player/user is looking
-# I know a very random request

[cursive fog]

Can someone uhh give me example of code where if i step on a specific block it explodes💀

Its for uhh

Jump boost thing

[subtle cove]

Hint: block custom_component

import * as mc from "@minecraft/server";

mc.system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(e => {
    e.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("ns:cust", {
        onStepOn: o => {

        }
    })
})

[wise raft]

Is it possible to modify a enum?

[subtle cove]

enum in mc or enum in cmds...

[hazy copper]

Idk if anyone could help out.
Basically Im trying to tame a mob without using an item but just clicking on it. Ive treid doing it through interact and the tameable component with minecraft:air and it didnt work. Finally tried a script and I still cant get it to work. if anyone can look over it and tell me if anythings wrong

im getting no content logs, im getting no console warns when interacting wih the mob either

ive also tried this and it doesnt work

(I know theyre running because ive intentionally put parse errors in them and the game picks it up)

[subtle cove]

const { player, beforeItemStack, target } = ev;
// Empty hand?
if (!beforeItemStack) return;

[hazy copper]

do I replace if (itemStack) return; with this?

[subtle cove]

yes

[hazy copper]

oh

bro edited it

now its saying it cant find export beforeItemStack

[subtle cove]

i sent a snippet, not a whole code

[hazy copper]

still dont work I think

[hazy copper]

no console either

[wise raft]

in Commands

[hazy copper]

yeah nope

[subtle cove]

its only editable on world restarts, its not dynamic
as of now, i presume

[hazy copper]

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


const allowedMobs = [
    "ve:dunk"
];


world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(ev => {
    const { player, beforeItemStack, target } = ev;

    if (!beforeItemStack) return;

    if (!allowedMobs.includes(target.typeId)) return;

    let tameable;
    try {
          system.run(() => {
            tameable = target.getComponent("minecraft:tameable");
});
    } catch (err) {
        return; 
    }
    if (!tameable) return;


    if (tameable.isTamed) return;


    let success = false;
    try {
         system.run(() => {
        success = tameable.tame(player);
         });
    } catch (err) {
        console.warn("Error on taming:", err);
        return;
    }

    if (success) {
        player.sendMessage(`You have tamed: ${target.id}!`);
    } else {
        player.sendMessage(`Couldn't tame.`);
    }    
});```

[subtle cove]

hb removing that if item statement, it should do sth

[hazy copper]

nope

im basically making a cat but I dont want it to require an item to tame. idk if I need to do smt specific to its behavior file either

[buoyant canopy]

What does world.afterEvents.worldLoad do?
i tried to use world.getDimension inside it and it told me that it doesn't have privileges

[subtle cove]

console.warn(target.getComponents().map(c => c.typeId + "\n"))
```u can try lookin at its comps

[hazy copper]

thats the thing idk if it needs to be in components or component groups, I kinda want it in groups so it can follow the player, fight for the player like dogs do, etc

well not want I need it to work like that in groups

[subtle cove]

then it wont get logged if the "cat" doesnt have the component

[warm mason]

just use system.run

[buoyant canopy]

if that didn't work

[warm mason]

?

[hazy copper]

still doesnt work

[warm mason]

Well yeah... it should work.

[buoyant canopy]

I guess i will have to call it every time i want to use the overworld

[warm mason]

So the error is somewhere else, because the same code works for me

[buoyant canopy]

where could it be?
that's the whole script

[warm mason]

.......

[buoyant canopy]

this is stable 2.0.0 btw

[warm mason]

Are you sure you reloaded the scripts?

[wary edge]

You should be using worldLoad.

Not system.run

[buoyant canopy]

i tried that first

[buoyant canopy]

Oh, never mind, That's another script that uses world getDimension in line 5

Insane coincidence

[warm mason]

As I said

[buoyant canopy]

I didn't read the file name, just the line number

[full island]

does anyone know if its possible to add the traits of an allow block to a custom block? (where you can place or break blocks only above it in adventure mode) I've tried a few ways but nothing works as soon as Im in adventure mode

[wary edge]

No.

[hazy copper]

:sobs:

[subtle cove]

i'd create a post so others can help, as well as u not getting left out

[hazy copper]

I created a post in entities and was told to just script and got kinda ignored afterwards

We've been at this nearly a week I think

[agile bone]

T-T

[hazy copper]

this 1 behvaior

[subtle cove]

yikes

[hazy copper]

like the mob basically requires it

[agile bone]

if only tame actually accepts air

[hazy copper]

fr

[subtle cove]

if only i could clone myself ;-;

[hazy copper]

like theres nothing wrong with minecraft:air I dont understand

[agile bone]

woah

[hazy copper]

why it wont work

[subtle cove]

should i reword that to "if only i have 4 arms ;-;"

[agile bone]

is there a resource of basic playerinteract with entity script

[hazy copper]

they claim scripts is heavily documented but when you ask for examples its crickets

[warped blaze]

@hazy copper idk if this is specifically what you wanted to do but there you go

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

const allowedMobs = ["ve:dunk"];

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({ player, beforeItemStack: item, target }) => {
  const tameable = target.getComponent("tameable");
  if (!allowedMobs.includes(target.typeId) || !tameable || tameable.isTamed || item) return;
  tameable.tame(player)
})```

[hazy copper]

@agile bone

Wanna try this rq im not at my pc T-T

[warped blaze]

k

gimme a minute

[hazy copper]

Oh I was pinging my friend if he wanted to

[warped blaze]

mb

[warm mason]

You need to use beforeEvents

[hazy copper]

You're good, also I think so Its literally jsut me trying to make follow, attack, and tamed to a player without an item

ive had a hell of a time getting it to work

[warped blaze]

why?

[agile bone]

hold

[hazy copper]

im holding

[warm mason]

afterEvents on interact events only fires when the interaction did something, for example you fed a cow, but if you have nothing in your hands then afterEvents simply won't fire

[hazy copper]

https://tenor.com/view/fade-away-oooooooooooo-aga-emoji-crumble-gif-20008708

[warped blaze]

didn't know that

[agile bone]

O

I mean, I think it tamed, there were hearts

[hazy copper]

WHAT

[agile bone]

but you can't make it sit though

[hazy copper]

t-t

[agile bone]

hold on

EYYYY

[hazy copper]

WHAT??

[agile bone]

it worked, thank you so much

[hazy copper]

[warm mason]

Ahh.. no, if you don't have an item in your hand, it also fires...

[hazy copper]

Finally

[hazy copper]

Life saver 😭❤️

we've been at this forever

[warped blaze]

i was abt to say that, i remember doing stuff using it the way I did it

[agile bone]

works like a charm

thank you so much

[warped blaze]

yw, just remember that it will only work if the target has the tameable component

[agile bone]

yes, also it should also have the tame_event set up, or else, it won't be able to sit

again thank you so much sensei goated

[tidal wasp]

can you use Math.random in beforePlayerPlace components?

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[jagged gazelle]

almost... But after events would also work without an item, just a successful interaction is enough...

[jagged gazelle]

-# nvm

[grim raft]

yo is there a way to decrease or disable damage knockback taken on players?

the knockback_resistance component doesnt work on the player

[wheat condor]

you can use player.json or you re trying to make it player.json free?

[jagged gazelle]

He already used player.json based on the second message.

[wheat condor]

then just use the damage sensor and cancel the damage from entities and with the afterEvent entityHitEntity you can create your custom knockback

[limber leaf]

is there some way to debug addons other than using vscode?

[grim raft]

I dont want to remove the damage tho thats the problem

[wheat condor]

you can also damage the player in the event so the player still gets damaged

[wheat condor]

i dont think so

[grim raft]

can you detect the damage taken with entityHitEntity or entityHurt?

[limber leaf]

holy hell

if the extension is open source atleast imma try to create a cli for it

[jagged gazelle]

entityHurt only.

[grim raft]

alr

[wheat condor]

not even worth it honestly

[limber leaf]

im for sure not using vscode

[wheat condor]

why?

[limber leaf]

my computer gets slow when using vscode

too much ram usage

[wheat condor]

how much ram you have?

[limber leaf]

i got 8gb

and im not used to use the mouse while coding anymore

[wheat condor]

have you tried to use some memory trimmer?

[limber leaf]

i didnt even know there was this on vscode

[wheat condor]

that's not from vscode its just a tool that i think compresses memory

its only for win 10 btw

[limber leaf]

i use linux

i dont think it would work then

well, the extension is open source

i might do some fork

[flat barn]

category: this member was found in the input, but is not present in the Schema

what does this mean?

[open urchin]

that doesn't sound like a script api issue but you're probably using the old category format
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/documentation/menu-categories

[wicked girder]

How is scripting threaded? Ive heard the system run is ran on the main thread but idk

[grim raft]

why these errors appearing

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native property getter [World::scoreboard] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (combat.js:4)

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [Arise BP - 1.0.0] - [main.js] ran with error: [ReferenceError: Native property getter [World::scoreboard] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (combat.js:4) ]

const blockResist = world.scoreboard.getObjective('blockResist')```

[grim raft]

I just put this

[wary edge]

Is this at top level?

You need to put it in worldLoad event.

[grim raft]

oh

cuz of v2?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[grim raft]

damn

[grim raft]

I cant mention blockResist outside of it tho

[wary edge]

let blockReisist;
WorldLoad{
blockResist = blah
}

[fallen cape]

does vibrant visuals strip away the color of debug renderer?

[grim raft]

WorldLoadAfterEvents right?

[wary edge]

Yeah.

[limber leaf]

its everything single threaded(probably)

i dont know the internals but normally minecraft is single thread

things on mc like jobs, system.run, etc, might be added on a scheduler and run on parallel

[untold magnet]

uh, i tried using worldLoad, but it cant send messages for players for some reason

[limber leaf]

i meant javascript, not minecraft

[open urchin]

players join after the world loads

you should use playerSpawn instead and check that initialSpawn is true

[untold magnet]

look, my issue is that the message is sent before the player join the world due to how playerSpawn works, and that makes my jsonUi images not loading sometimes

like its not always showing the images, sometimes the message is sent but without my jsonUi images

[warped blaze]

what happened to the "precise interaction" part of the wiki?

[untold magnet]

so i need to send the messages as soonest the world is fully loaded

[open urchin]

there is a bug which stops it from working
