Script API General

[distant tulip]

uh what

[distant gulch]

nvm

i was asking how to convert something to a string

[distant tulip]

did you just ask how to make a string or am i seeing things

oh

[distant gulch]

lol

[distant tulip]

like a number or what?

[distant gulch]

yeah a number

[distant tulip]

either JSON.stringify(3) or `${3}` or "" + 3 work there is a lot of ways

[distant gulch]

thx

[distant tulip]

np

[dusky flicker]

normally you have toString method

depends on what you want to do

if you want to print objects, its better using JSON.stringify

with numbers the toString method is pretty good by the way, you cam convert it to any base between 1..36 i guess

so N.toString(16) returns it in hex

[loud brook]

Hey guys, is there a way to know the max permutation of a block?

for example if the max is 2?

[random flint]

1. Get the permutation: block.permutation
2. Get all the block state names Object.keys(permutation.getAllStates())
3. Iterate each key and get the state type inside BlockStates Class: BlockStates.get(blockStateName)
4. Retreive the quantity of the valid enums/ranges: blockStateType.validValues.length;
5. Accumulate each quantity and you'll get how many enums/range permutation that the block has.

Edit: 🗿 I over complicated it didn't I?

[loud brook]

Tysm!

[random flint]

If you just want to know how many block states it has, just stop at step #2.
permutation.getAllStates().length

I'm 2 AM in the morning, so I might just misinterpret it and overcomplicate it

[loud brook]

No no, your first method worked liked a charm

Thanks!

[round bone]

(3).toString()

too many ways

[sly valve]

`${3}`

Ugh.. wait

Yepp, we got many ways

Like

const str = "23";
const num = +str;

[round bone]

Number, parseFloat, parseInt

[sly valve]

imagine

function numToString(input: unknown): string {
  // Symbol-Falle für extra Overhead
  const TO_STRING = Symbol("toString");

  const handler = {
    get(target: any, prop: PropertyKey) {
      if (prop === TO_STRING) {
        return () => String(target);
      }
      return Reflect.get(target, prop);
    }
  };

  // Dummy Proxy, weil... warum nicht?
  const proxied = new Proxy(input, handler);

  // Safety First, obwohl völlig unnötig
  if (typeof proxied !== "number" && !(proxied instanceof Number)) {
    throw new TypeError("Expected a number-like input.");
  }

  // Match digits via Regex (unnötig, aber ja)
  const match = String(proxied).match(/-?\d+(\.\d+)?/g);
  if (!match) return "";

  // Konvertieren wir das Match unnötig auf Zahlen und wieder zurück
  const result = match
    .map(str =>
      [...str].reduce((acc, char) => acc + char, "")
    )
    .join("");

  // Noch ein bisschen unnötiger Check
  if (!/^-?\d+(\.\d+)?$/.test(result)) {
    throw new Error("Something went unnecessarily wrong.");
  }

  return result;
}

Thats better

[sly valve]

Use that ⬆️

But actually just use

String(num)

[distant tulip]

We should benchmark all of those

[sly valve]

We should

[distant gulch]

there is a function to spawn a entity?

[thorn flicker]

yes

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.0.0/classes/Dimension.html#spawnentity

[dusky flicker]

JSON.stringify is slower

i think i got quickjs installed on my computer

i might test it and show the benchmarsk

for sure im ask gpt to generate the benchmarks

[round bone]

Yup, it's for a bit more complex cases

    private static stringifyValue(value: RedisClientValueTypes): string {
        switch (typeof value) {
            case "string":
                return value
            case "boolean":
                return value ? "true" : "false"
            case "number":
                return value.toString()
            case "object":
                return JSON.stringify(value)
        }
    }

    private static parseValue<T extends RedisClientValueTypes>(value: string): T {
        switch (value) {
            case "true":
                return true as T
            case "false":
                return false as T
            default: {
                const parsedNumber: number = Number(value)
                if (!Number.isNaN(parsedNumber)) return parsedNumber as T

                try {
                    return JSON.parse(value) as T
                } catch {
                    return value as T
                }
            }
        }
    }

I am using my own parsers

[sly valve]

nice

[subtle cove]

Have u tested that?

[sly valve]

-# nope

[subtle cove]

Symbol(key) is exclusively unique unless it's Symbol.for(key) or declared and reused

With that use case, it's better to test what keys are actually referenced

[north frigate]

man I wish block.getState() and block.getAllStates() was asynchronous

[subtle cove]

It is in permutation object

And when block is setPermutationd

[north frigate]

wait what so I can await them?

[subtle cove]

Wdym, it's just small difference so it's not promise type

Well u can still await anything

[sly valve]

but why

[north frigate]

because sometimes they give me undefined when I get them in a system.runJob();

[subtle cove]

block.permutation.getState?

[sly valve]

Only returns undefined, when state is not "on it"

getAllStates alaways returns an record

see

getAllStates(): Record<string, boolean | number | string>

[north frigate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sly valve]

(await UserManager.fetch("NEKODE"))
  .attack(await UserManager.fetch("Leonidaaa"));

[north frigate]

I think I should make a new forum post about my problem

[sly valve]

Maybe

[chilly fractal]

So by now I should be asleep if I wanna be up okay without feeling my back shattered a hundred pieces in the morning, but anyway

Uh

So I am moving to item custom components.. took me long enough lol

I would love an explanation of how exactly they work

[subtle cove]

Is it possible to have variant custom components that's inside permutation

[chilly fractal]

😭

I don't think I even know what you just said.

I legitimately just started messing with custom components.

The question probably isn't targeted to me but yea, just sayin'

Good luck with the cool wizardry you always make tho.

[dusky flicker]

about earlier, i asked gpt to write some benchmark code

function benchmark(name, fn, iterations = 1_000_000) {
    const start = Date.now();
    for (let i = 0; i < iterations; i++) fn();
    const end = Date.now();
    const total = end - start;
    return {
        name,
        total,
        avg: total / iterations
    };
}

function runBenchmarks(value, label, iterations = 1_000_000) {
    console.log(`\n== ${label} ==`);

    const results = [];

    results.push(benchmark('String(x)', () => {
        const str = String(value);
    }, iterations));

    results.push(benchmark('x + ""', () => {
        const str = value + "";
    }, iterations));

    results.push(benchmark('x.toString()', () => {
        try {
            const str = value.toString();
        } catch (_) {}
    }, iterations));

    results.push(benchmark('`${x}`', () => {
        const str = `${value}`;
    }, iterations));

    results.push(benchmark('JSON.stringify(x)', () => {
        try {
            const str = JSON.stringify(value);
        } catch (_) {}
    }, iterations));

    // Display all results
    for (const r of results) {
        console.log(`${r.name.padEnd(20)}: ${r.total} ms total, ${r.avg.toFixed(6)} ms avg`);
    }

    // Find slowest and fastest
    const validResults = results.filter(r => !isNaN(r.avg));
    const fastest = validResults.reduce((a, b) => a.avg < b.avg ? a : b);
    const slowest = validResults.reduce((a, b) => a.avg > b.avg ? a : b);

    console.log(`Fastest : ${fastest.name} (${fastest.avg.toFixed(6)} ms avg)`);
    console.log(`Slowest : ${slowest.name} (${slowest.avg.toFixed(6)} ms avg)`);
}

// Sample values
runBenchmarks(123.456, 'Number');
runBenchmarks(true, 'Boolean');
runBenchmarks({ a: 1, b: 2 }, 'Object');
runBenchmarks([1, 2, 3], 'Array');
runBenchmarks(null, 'Null');
runBenchmarks(undefined, 'Undefined');
runBenchmarks({ toString: () => "custom!" }, 'Custom toString');

[subtle cove]

custom components is like id where that id can have features that's registered in block initialization

[chilly fractal]

Ahh, nice.

[dusky flicker]

everything was gpt who provided, i didnt even try to optimize the code

[chilly fractal]

It's pretty dumb but uh.. I initially thought they were the "backend" of custom items/blocks but that "component" part just kept me wondering. Anyway thanks for the clarification, ima go sleep now, good luck to you sir.

[dusky flicker]

would it be a good idea for me to create a topic on script-resources only to show benchmarks?

[sly valve]

Yes, please do that
You can show Critical methods (with high "delay")

[granite cape]

.

[dusky flicker]

i'd do so only for benchmarking quickjs, but i think people could contribute

[rustic ermine]

my codebase is getting pretty solid now. yesterday decided to make a new branch to start a complete rewrite of my older systems and ideas to better integrate with the event system because spent a good 2-3 weeks getting familiar with the minecraft api and typescript. still haven't redone the item classes yet, but the idea here is that the super(8) would be super(item.actionSpeed). different tier items will perform actions at a faster tick rate (like runescape).

[round bone]

you are using bridge for development?

[rustic ermine]

yeah. normally I use vscode for programming but Bridge is what I started this project on when I was still learning and it has been fine. I mainly just like that is has TS already configured and automatically updates the type files if you change dependancy versions. Is also nice because when I am doing live-testing on dedicated server compared to just singleplayer, I can tell it to just output the dev packs straight to the dedicated server folder

[round bone]

I use WebStorm for scripting and other tasks, for JSON-related stuff I use VS Code

[sly valve]

W H Y

[round bone]

WebStorm is really good for writing softwares like add-ons in TypeScript

[sly valve]

Reason

[round bone]

also I have it for free

[sly valve]

But what makes WebStorm better than VScode

Name it and perchance ill switch

@round bone nvm it's I researched - seems like its pretty good

[round bone]

• better Intellisense
• built-in frameworks to test code
• GUI for VSC
• refactoring tools

a lot of things tbh

[sly valve]

Thats cool

babe

[midnight ridge]

to check if a mob is passive using a hasComponent("minecraft:attack") method is a good way to do it or there is another way?

[sly valve]

Probably. you can also use minecraft:angry = Defines an entity's 'angry' state using a timer

[empty grail]

reading json when?

[dusky flicker]

i think you should write a copy of minecraft from scratch

[sly valve]

maybe never.

[empty grail]

never

also when physic component will be integerated

[empty grail]

so i can turn on/off gravity easily

[sly valve]

for Entities?

[empty grail]

yuh

[sly valve]

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

[rustic ermine]

meh, I've done similar, but working with the bedrock engine and established player-base is a lot easier than making a game from the ground up and marketing

[empty grail]

i mean for Script API

[sly valve]

You mean - "When can I turn on/off dynamically if a Entity has physics or not" ?

[empty grail]

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

[sly valve]

;-; I don't understand what you want, must bemy lack in understanding

[empty grail]

simply that you cannot change the physic component of entities using Script yet

[sly valve]

And this will probably never be possible

At least I think so

Because minecraft's code isnt just simply like

if (entity.get("physic").isTurnedOn) {
  doPhysicsStuff(entity)
}

[empty grail]

there is a work around using entity event but it's not as efficient if we use script

[sly valve]

hmm okay then script would be better

[sly valve]

But why do you event want to change the physics meanwhile the runtime?

[empty grail]

"minecraft:input_air_controlled" need the entity doesn't have gravity to work
and I want the entity have gravity if player not ride it

can component value read entity property using q.property()?

[sly valve]

hmm. well im not well known with Entities

But I think you should be able to read properties from the entity

Maybe you'll find anything here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[unreal cove]

very few components like the minecraft:experience_reward can, but majority of them can't

[leaden elbow]

whats the event for right clicking npcs? (not entityhitentity)

[open urchin]

playerInteractWithEntity probably

[leaden elbow]

gotta try

i think it only works when something like mounting or trading

[midnight ridge]

what is the stable version of @minecraft/server-ui?

[round bone]

yes

[round bone]

2.0.0

[midnight ridge]

ty

wait

isnt that beta?

[open urchin]

no

[midnight ridge]

kk

[round bone]

nope, 2.1.0 is beta

[open urchin]

2.0.0 released in 1.21.90

for server and server-ui

[round bone]

I am using stable for my project for the first time xD

2.0.0 is pretty neat

are slash commands released in this version?

[midnight ridge]

and what about minecraft server?

[open urchin]

no

[round bone]

2.1.0 or 2.2.0-beta

[midnight ridge]

ty guys

[round bone]

sadge

[midnight ridge]

1.19.0

what does it mean

[open urchin]

to use server-ui v2 you have to also be using server v2

[midnight ridge]

but how to do that if it is not avaible 🙂

[open urchin]

what do you mean

server 2.0.0 is also stable

oh

i see

[midnight ridge]

i tried it

[open urchin]

idk why 2.0.0 is missing from there

[round bone]

use 2.0.0 for server and server-ui

[midnight ridge]

it says invalide

[open urchin]

it says you used 2.1.0, not 2.0.0

[midnight ridge]

wait

let me check

kkkk works

i see it now

[livid elk]

how to cancel the attack in entityHitEntity?

[wary edge]

You cant.

[livid elk]

is there something I can use like that, which can cancel the attack dmg?

[wary edge]

You have to edit the entity JSON

[livid elk]

ohh yeah, why i didnt think about that. thank you!!

is there a way to refresh form without calling/opening the form again?

[stark kestrel]

does any1 have exact vanilla player hit by player knockback replica?

[stark kestrel]

holy im suffering

[prisma shard]

let horizontalKB = 0.2789
let verticalKB = 0.1023
let knockbackX = victimLocation.x - attackerLocation.x;
let knockbackZ = victimLocation.z - attackerLocation.z;

const magnitude = Math.sqrt(knockbackX * knockbackX + knockbackZ * knockbackZ);
if (magnitude !== 0) {
    knockbackX /= magnitude;
    knockbackZ /= magnitude;
}
entity.applyKnockback(knockbackX, knockbackZ, horizontalKB, verticalKB);```

here

this might be old

but i had in my code

applyKnockback structure might be updated, but the math should work

It's a exact player hit knockback replica

[stark kestrel]

[slim forum]

Learning about classes

[distant tulip]

i never used classes in javascript

[sly valve]

Good keep going!

Classes are powerful

[dusky flicker]

'-' how?

do you program things like in C?

const obj ={...};

function doSomething(o){...}

doSomething(obj);
?

[distant tulip]

yes 🤷‍♂️

[slim forum]

Uhhh

Still dropping to 18 tick

Hmmm

[sly valve]

Its not the class, its your cide

If your update runs every tick y you gotta optimize it

Send me the Update code private, and I will help yiu

[distant tulip]

optimize your cide

[slim forum]

They told me that classes reduce lag

[sly valve]

Depends on what you do

But its a lie

Sometimes Functions or Literal objects are better

Sometimes classes

[deep quiver]

classes just make code more organised

or can make

it always depends on who is writing the code

[sly valve]

Inheritance, polymorphism

[round bone]

https://tenor.com/view/взгляд-2000-ярдов-война-war-soldier-gif-3632617944134077161

[sly valve]

How are you

[distant tulip]

it is not that bad

[deep quiver]

good hbu?

[sly valve]

Love classes for the inheritance and polymorphism

[sly valve]

Good as well

Just woke up. Its 20:25

I hate my life

[sly valve]

Thats awesome

[sly valve]

But dude, is the script still unperfomant?

[slim forum]

Look:

[sly valve]

Want me to optimize it a bit?

[slim forum]

Shore

But, wait

[sly valve]

Shore

[slim forum]

Sorry for my bad english

Sure

[sly valve]

haha dont worry, you are Spanish right?

[slim forum]

I'm a brasilian girl

[sly valve]

Ahh thats cool

[slim forum]

Thanks, also, with this I will be able to replicate it in other codes of mine that need optimization

[sly valve]

Alright, Ill send in DDM

[slim forum]

There are many

[sly valve]

:o what the-

[north rapids]

play animation plays only one animation?

[slim forum]

Yeah

[north rapids]

there is any way to play more animations at same time?

[slim forum]

Try to use setProperty or something for more complex animations

[sly valve]

so uhh.. its pretty big
You should optimize the main loop.
Try to prevent Overheads and Double Work e.g Double Fetching, Repeated Computation or Recursion

[slim forum]

Like entity.setPropery('aaaa:dance', true);

[slim forum]

I always try to do this, but it still ends up happening

[north rapids]

how to use it with the animations?

[slim forum]

In resource packs, wait

[north rapids]

queries?

[slim forum]

Yeah

But you need to create the property in the entity behavior

[north rapids]

theres another way?

[slim forum]

"q.property('aaa:dance') == 'true'"

Or

Just do "q.property('aaa:dance)"

[north rapids]

if (wieldType === 'twoHands') {
player.playAnimation(animation.combat.wield.two_hands, { blendOutTime: 0.3 });
player.playAnimation(animation.combat.fix_runing)}

i use this in my script

[slim forum]

I recommend using an int or float property, as it can accommodate more changes and doesn't take up as much space in the entity's behavior properties

[north rapids]

I want to do this without modifying the player.json or player animations

[slim forum]

Hmmm, no idea then

Maybe someone here knows how

[north rapids]

ok, ty

[random flint]

You merge those two animations together.

[north rapids]

one uses molang and the other smooth animation

[round bone]

If you're using C, then yeah

But for TS?

💀

[distant tulip]

whats TS

[thorn flicker]

typescript

[random flint]

Brute force it with tons of linear keyframes.
-# (My "caveman method")

[distant tulip]

never heard of it

[north rapids]

damn

[random flint]

What's TypeScript?

[distant tulip]

is it some kinda of script that you type? "type script"

[round bone]

Better version of JavaScript

[north rapids]

lol

[distant tulip]

so JavaScript++?

[north rapids]

I think it's a type of script

[thorn flicker]

its javascript premium

[round bone]

Superset, not a second JavaScript

[distant tulip]

sound interesting

[random flint]

That's subjective. I call it strict JavaScript that requires a compiler for it to work

[thorn flicker]

here we go

[round bone]

It's better to maintain your code for a longer time

[random flint]

Yes, that works for you. But for me, on a phone with no slimmer of JSDoc or TypeScript compiler or any trace of effort to set it up. Plain JavaScript is perfect as it is.
-# (Plus I can brag about it out)

[thorn flicker]

lol

im lazy to set it up aswell

[round bone]

I think we are so much different

[random flint]

True. But the essence is still the same... It's still ScriptAPI.

[round bone]

Once you'll start working with larger codebase, we could have a talk then

[random flint]

Sure.

[sly valve]

Hello gega

[random flint]

[sly valve]

Patting Romsontis gains +6969 Sanity

[dusky flicker]

it depends, it actually makes code slower than using "pure functions"

due to dynamic dispatch

but i don't think you should use functions over classes if you havent a real reason to do so

other than "speed"

what you could do is paralelize the code

instead of using blocking functions

[sly valve]

Classes may be superior when using Inheritance or Polymorphism

[limber leaf]

inheritance is dynamic dispatch

actually, polymorphism

a class in minecraft, MIGHT be 16bytes(on 64bit architeture, on 32bit it MIGHT be 8bytes), 1 is a pointer to the underlying object, and another is for the vtable, which is a way to map names to function pointers. when you have polymorphism the code must know which is the correct function to call, but as there is absolutely no way to tell js what is the correct function of what, it has to find which is a little slower. i mean o.f() is slower than f(o)

[chilly fractal]

Yeah so I don't wanna be that guy

[limber leaf]

normally on typed langs, like rust for example, if you got no dyn(dynamic dispatch) the code of obj.f() is generally compiled to f(obj)

[chilly fractal]

But classes are great for keeping code organized and providing a stable public API for later you and other developers working on the project.

[limber leaf]

but the performance you gain by using functions is not that much

[chilly fractal]

They have a little bit of an overhead compared to normal functions but it's very marginal.

It's unnoticeable almost always.

[limber leaf]

specially on fucking js where everything is heap allocated, variables can change type anytime, and new Array(50) is slower than new Array() because it simply does not malloc because, wow, theres no way to know the size of data

[chilly fractal]

Yet it is still overhead, if you genuinely can't optimize your script whatsoever. Like you did every possible optimization you could, maybe try considering breaking down classes into functions, but that's literally near impossible unless you're doing A CRAP TON of calculations that you cache, optimization and do other techniques in.

Again, I can't stress this enough, almost always you should use classes over functions.

I was about to explain why the overhead but realized someone explained it before me.

Oh well, I will go now.

[limber leaf]

by the way, composition might be better for performance

and is better than inheritance

when you have a long chain of classes that inherit, things can get confuse

[sly valve]

composition?

Can you maybe just read packets (without any manipulation of them) and try sending the same then?

[limber leaf]

yeah i can

but i dont think that would solve

if you want to see

[round bone]

I would scrap out everything and try with this data

[limber leaf]

i just connect it at the port

[round bone]

I am not really into Rust xD

[limber leaf]

creates a listener on port 19144, and keeps reading the content that is sent

stream.write_all(b"{'type': 'minecraftCommand', 'command':{'command':'reload', 'dimension_type':'overworld'}}").unwrap();
and i try to send this back

i might do something focused on it later

must finish the addon

[round bone]

It's midnight for me, I am awake for 18 hours from now

holy hell

for me its 7:21pm

you gotta sleep bro

[round bone]

12:21 PM for me

[limber leaf]

i actually wanted making some kind of api for interacting with the debugger

then i might make a tui application to read it

[round bone]

I am working on a simple idle map

[limber leaf]

graphs and etc, maybe i make it for the web as well, an application you open and it shows the specs on the web

[round bone]

Neat idea

[round bone]

Maybe

[leaden elbow]

do i have to add interact component to the entity json?

[round bone]

wdym?

[granite cape]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1370349334016561253

[leaden elbow]

like minectaft:interact "interactions": [
{
"on_interact": {
"event": "open_form",
"target": "self"
},
"use_action": "interact"
}
]

because seems like when i right click my entity doesnt work

but if i right click entities that has interact button it works

eg horse, minecart, etc.

or i have to use beforeEvent

now it works lol

[round bone]

Probably yes

[leaden elbow]

alr working i just need to use beforeEvent thanks tho

[copper quartz]

anyone I can dm about scripting?

[livid elk]

is player.id always 11 characters long?

[halcyon phoenix]

iirc it's a uuid so yeah

[halcyon phoenix]

whatchu need?

[round bone]

which version?

[round bone]

are you talking about a commission or just a help?

[round bone]

there's no information about that in documentation

[copper quartz]

Just some help and general conversation

[round bone]

if you have any problems, sending it here or creating a post might help you a bit faster I think

[copper quartz]

I did no luck yet

It's a simple question and gpt sorted it

It was folder organization

But wondering if I should JSON UI or js it

[halcyon phoenix]

I remebered I asked somebody and that's what they said I forgot who though

[round bone]

I don't think it's always 11 characters long

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah probably

[livid elk]

is the length of other entities' ids different from the player's id? i tried getting the player id, and it's always 11 characters long (at least in the tests i did), and the id of other entities is 13 characters long

[round bone]

technically you can test it on your own by just spawning few hundreds of entities and checking their length

import { world, Dimension, Entity } from "@minecraft/server"

const lengthsTesting = (): Map<number, number> => {
    const lengths: Map<number, number> = new Map<number, number>()
    const dimension: Dimension = world.getDimension("overworld")
    for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        const { id }: Entity = dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:zombie", {
            x: 0, 
            y: 0,
            z: 0
        })

        const idLength: number = id.length
        lengths.set(idLength, lenghts.get(idLength) ?? 0 + 1)
    }

    return lengthsTesting
}

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
    const lengths: Map<number, number> = lengthsTesting()

    for (const key of lengths.keys()) {
        console.log(key + ": " + lengths.get(key))
    }
})

smth like this

[copper quartz]

What a good way to do UI, should I script it or JSON it?

[round bone]

depends on your needs tbh

what type of UI, does it have to look fancy

[rustic ermine]

yay. codebase rewrite done. now can start adding stuff again. I moved everything away from CustomComponent parameters to be driven by the typescript side. component parameters are awesome but it was a huge PITA when I changed my mind how a type/interface should look because then I'd need to go back and change every item or block and because it's JSON there would be no errors or autocompletion

here's how it looks now

and the code side of things is also much much cleaner and easier to reason with now

[stark kestrel]

const config = {
  horizontalKB: 0.2789,
  verticalKB: 0.14,
  sprintMultiplier: 1.05
};

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({ damagingEntity, hitEntity }) => {
  if (!damagingEntity?.isValid || !hitEntity?.isValid) return;
  if (damagingEntity.getEffect("minecraft:weakness")) return;

  hitEntity.applyDamage(4);

  const atk = damagingEntity.location;
  const vic = hitEntity.location;

  let dx = vic.x - atk.x;
  let dz = vic.z - atk.z;
  const mag = Math.hypot(dx, dz);
  if (!mag) return;

  dx /= mag;
  dz /= mag;

  let horizontalStrength = config.horizontalKB;
  let verticalStrength = config.verticalKB;

  if (damagingEntity.isSprinting) {
    horizontalStrength *= config.sprintMultiplier;
  }

  hitEntity.applyKnockback(
    { x: dx * horizontalStrength, z: dz * horizontalStrength },
    verticalStrength
  );
});

is there better way to do this

this feels very weird and im trying to replicate vanilla knockback on hit

[rustic ermine]

  if (!damagingEntity?.isValid || !hitEntity?.isValid) return;

don't need the ? there because it is doing the same thing as isValid, and the event is triggered by an entity so there is no chance of the entity not being valid (isValid is still good though incase they somehow logged out or crashed or something at the exact millisecond the event fires)
other than that, looks good. knockback is unfortunately one of those things that needs to be calculated each time it happens because of different directions/positions/etc

[stark kestrel]

thanks!

[rustic ermine]

you could also probably just make those values constants

const HORIZONTAL_KB = 0.2789;
const VERTICAL_KB = 0.14;
const SPRINT_MULTIPLIER = 1.05;

micro-optimization but this would make the JS engine not have to do a property lookup on an Object. property lookups are still very, very fast though so it really just comes down to what you prefer to code.

[stark kestrel]

alright!

also uh is there a way to fix it being like very weird

[rustic ermine]

weird how?

[stark kestrel]

like it feels i get stuck in air for few ms or so

[rustic ermine]

try lowering vertical strength to something like 0.02

other than that, not sure. knockback is weird and I hate dealing with it

[stark kestrel]

😭

thanks!

[rustic ermine]

this is some really old code I did with knockback a long time ago and it used 0.2 for the vertical :/ so, not sure, i'm sorry

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((entity) => {
    if (entity.hurtEntity.typeId !== "minecraft:player") { return; }
    let player: Entity = entity.hurtEntity;
    const playerEquipment: EntityEquippableComponent = player.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Equippable);
    let offhand: ItemStack = playerEquipment.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Offhand);
    if (entity.damageSource.damagingEntity?.isValid() && playerIsBlocking(player, offhand)) {
        world.playSound('item.shield.block', player.location);
        let health: EntityHealthComponent = player.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Health);

        let damageReduction: number = 0;
        if (shieldDamageReduction.has(offhand.typeId)) { damageReduction = shieldDamageReduction.get(offhand.typeId) }
        health.setCurrentValue(health.currentValue + (entity.damage * damageReduction));

        const viewDirection: Vector3 = player.getViewDirection();
        entity.damageSource.damagingEntity?.applyKnockback(viewDirection.x, viewDirection.z, 1.75, 0.2);
    }
})

[warped blaze]

yo is there a way to implement ts on a behavior pack? I'm quite interested on learn more abt it and i saw ppl talking a lot

[rustic ermine]

Bridge is the easiest way IMO. it has TS natively

[warped blaze]

like is it even possible or u just make it for prevent errors before converting it js?

[warped blaze]

yeah but can it be implemented in beh?

[rustic ermine]

that is all TS actually is. you write your code in TS, then it transpiles your code to javascript. nothing actually executes typescript code

but I would say it becomes borderline impossible to manage a large project without type safety. after a certain point it becomes a nightmare to make a mental map of what is going on without types

[warped blaze]

so typescript is just to prevent syntax and type errors when you transpile it

got it

thx

[rustic ermine]

yeah. i'll show an example (give me a min to code some BS code lol)

notice how blockId on new_block has an error because I used a string instead of a BlockID

[warped blaze]

can't i just set a script in a TS file and then just do import './example.ts'?

[rustic ermine]

if you have the type files loaded yeah (although you wouldnt import it as .ts .. just ./example), and you'd also need to set up a watcher to detect changes in your JS files to automatically transpile. It's kind of a pain to do without Bridge but people do it all the time

Bridge comes with all of it built in and you never even have to look at the .js files

[warped blaze]

well that's helpful information

tysm

[round bone]

Use interfaces, they're a bit faster

[rustic ermine]

how so?

easy change if true atleast. I've only been doing TS for 3-4 weeks so open to improvement

[round bone]

Replace type keyword with interface and remove =

[rustic ermine]

interestingly, too, it looks like enums are also a pretty poor performance choice since we are using quickJS. the generated JS looks disgusting (image attached) 🤮 . I just checked interface vs type and you are correct, thank you 🙂 also says that Type has to get re-cached every time the file is opened because of the complex things it can do, where Interface does not and can stay cached if not changed (that's not a runtime problem though). quick check on my largest type converted to interface confirms that too.. got a noticeably faster editor file load for completions. I appreciate it 🙂

[round bone]

Not QJS, it's due to TSC

Use const enums

Compiler will in-line these values

[rustic ermine]

thanks. and I meant I did not realize that js doesn't have a native enum. I grew up on C# and then eventually moved to Rust.. never really touched JS or TS before this project lol

lots to learn. it is a really nice language though (ts.. not js lol). quickly becoming my favorite

[round bone]

No problem, this server is for learning

[round bone]

It's my favorite for last year xD

[rustic ermine]

really enjoying how easy it can be to do really complex things once you have your base classes and interfaces/etc laid out

then also has the flexibility to not care when you just want to test an idea

[round bone]

The only missing thing is built-in final keyword for classes, but still it's pretty solid

[rustic ermine]

yeah. at least that's an easy problem to avoid if you are the only dev on your project though

[round bone]

You can use a decorator to create a final class

[rustic ermine]

not enforced though I'm guessing?

[round bone]

I use it sometimes and it's pretty solid aswell

[rustic ermine]

function final<T extends { new (...args: any[]): {} }>(constructor: T) {
  return class extends constructor {
    constructor(...args: any[]) {
      if (new.target !== constructor) {
        throw new Error(`Cannot inherit from final class ${constructor.name}`);
      }
      super(...args);
    }
  };
}

interesting

[round bone]

Yes

Or you can use private constructor

[agile bone]

is it possible to have a projectile be shot on different angle horizontally but on the same level, basically how a crossbow shoots with multishot

[round bone]

Can't you set a rotation of projectile?

[agile bone]

elaborate

[warped blaze]

i was curious abt the thing that makes that multiple projectiles can't be spawned at the same time and i learned that it is due to the limitation of js being a single-threaded language 😭

[distant tulip]

Get view direction
Multiply the vec3 to get your desired velocity
Make 3 versions of the vector
Add -x and x to 2 of them
Normalize the two
Use shoot(vector) from the projectile api

[agile bone]

TOT what

but it is possible with scripts yeah?

[distant tulip]

No that json ui

[round bone]

You have to do it in script xD

[round bone]

In textures *

[agile bone]

oh are you answering to someone else's question?

[distant tulip]

Dude, that is obviously script api and is obviously to you

[agile bone]

my bad, I don't really know scripts that well or at all T-T

[distant tulip]

I am not at my laptop, so I can't really show you an example

[agile bone]

    { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1  },     // Forward
    { x: 0.5, y: 0, z: 0.87 }, // 30° right
    { x: -0.5, y: 0, z: 0.87 } // 30° left
];
world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe(event => {
    if (event.entity.typeId === "test:multishot") {
        system.runInterval(() => {
            const entity = event.entity;
            const targets = entity.getEntitiesFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 16 });
            if (targets.length > 0) {
                SHOOTING_ANGLES.forEach(angle => {
                    const proj = entity.dimension.spawnEntity(
                        "minecraft:snowball", 
                        entity.getHeadLocation()
                    );
                    
                    proj.applyImpulse(angle);
                });
            }
        }, 40); // 2 second interval (20 ticks = 1 second)
    }
});```

would this work?

[distant tulip]

No, that have hard coded values.
It will always shoot to the same direction

        }, 40); // Every 2 seconds
    }
});```

it gave this

[warped blaze]

server projectile doesn't exist

[agile bone]

figured since it's ai

[dusky flicker]

it depends on the transpiler, swc transpiles it down directly to their variant

same as bun

prefer choosing a transpiler focused on performance, tsc might not be the best one for this case

[round bone]

TSC is okay, just some things require a bit deeper knowledge

Also you're supporting Micro$oft if you stay with their tooling

[dusky flicker]

and is there a way to avoid those objects on tsc?

[warm mason]

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

world.getLootTableManager().generateLootFromBlock(block);

but it only works on beta-API on the latest previews

[visual zephyr]

oh

[warm mason]

well in a couple of weeks there should be a new release so... although if you don't use the beta API then you'll have a long wait

[halcyon phoenix]

dang that's too advance for me I gotta learn more complicated syntax

I still have no idea how to use public, private and this stuff

[dusky flicker]

public value: T;

anything outside the class can acess

class A {
public value: number = 5;
}

const obj =new A();
obj.value; //accepted

private makes it only visible to the class itself

class B {
private value:number = 0;
increase(){
return this.value++; //valid
}
}
const b = new B();
const val = b.increase(); //valid
const valx = b.value++; //invalid, in theory(because of js) you cannot access it

protected does the same as private, but only the classes that inheritc(as well as the one defined) can see

private is only for the class that declares it

class C extends B{
increaseBy(n:number){
return this.value += n; //invalid because its only visible inside B
}
}

it would be valid if at B it was defined as
protected value:number
instead

there are more others such as readonly that well, makes it readonly

but for the class itself and any other trying to read

you simply cannot write on the prop

static is that the thing declared is not bound to an instance but the class itself

class D {
static val:number = 0;
static increase(){
return this.val++;
}
}
//Same modifiers apply here(public, private, protected)
const d = new D;
d.increase(); //error, static are not defined on the prototype of an instance
const val = D.increase();
const valx = D.value;
//both valid

the _ on the code is from js actually, there's no need to declare props like _pingu when its already defined as private or protected

in js its a common pattern to declare them as "_pingu" for example to tell that that property is "internal" and should not be modified outside the class itself

[subtle cove]

@round bone how can u make private class methods/properties in ts like js class A { static #key = Symbol(); get #curr() { return { id: Date.now() } }

[dusky flicker]

although there is # modifier in js which makes it private

class B {
#value = 5; //js
}
same thing as in ts
class B {
private value = 5; //ts
}

[round bone]

use private keyword

[vast grove]

That's some insane typings I have ever seen...

[honest spear]

Happens when you go low-level JS in TS

[dusky flicker]

theres a binary serializer on npm already

i think you should use it

[honest spear]

all bad

mine good and fast

i writing runtime compiled serializer optimalizations

[dusky flicker]

just more of the usual,a buffer and data view manipulation

[subtle cove]

im startin to have a fetish withObject.create(null)

[honest spear]

also some of mine favorite functions

export function mergeSourceWithInheritance<T, S extends Partial<T>>(target: T, source: S): T & S {
    return defineProperties(
        target,
        getOwnPropertyDescriptors(
            setPrototypeOf(
                source,
                create(getPrototypeOf(target), getOwnPropertyDescriptors(target))
            )
        )
    ) as T & S;
}
export function mergeSourceDirectNoEnumerable<T, S extends Partial<T>>(target: T, source: S): T & S {
    const raw = getOwnPropertyDescriptors(source);
    for(const key of Reflect.ownKeys(raw)) raw[key as keyof typeof raw].enumerable = false;
    return defineProperties(target, raw) as T & S;
}

the first one is also known as OverTakes

[halcyon phoenix]

same I can't even understand your code

[honest spear]

Its all right me and AI has it the same haha

[subtle cove]

con's OverTakes is way too op

[dusky flicker]

bytheway, document the functions, it should be easier to understand

[honest spear]

its all right

[dusky flicker]

im addicted to document everything

[subtle cove]

ohboi

sth abt prototype pollution

[honest spear]

thats what i am addicted to

I am mean i am writing code for 6 hours without even single test

[dusky flicker]

i do the same xd

i might implement a N-ary tree as well as a tree diff algorithm for an ui lib im making

i probably will just write and test after tje minimum is complete

[honest spear]

yea, reasonable

[prisma shard]

i also write code at once then test at last

[honest spear]

well good luck guys with your projects, see you later

[dusky flicker]

i just think youre making things too complex on the serializer

[honest spear]

depends in what state is the project in, at the beginning it make sense but later on not at all

[dusky flicker]

it would be better to simply define a list of primitives

like a normal compiled lang does

[prisma shard]

con, do you have a itemstack database

[honest spear]

thats what i do

[dusky flicker]

wait, what are those functions for, then?

[honest spear]

Proof of concept but

and NBT

if you parse NBT you have to save number type as well if you want to serialize it back

[prisma shard]

PascalCase ;-;

[honest spear]

yea i use them for decorators

so you know its decorator and not regular function

[prisma shard]

@honest spear

:>

[copper quartz]

function executeTransfer(player, targetName, amount) {
    let senderName = player.name;

    if (!targetName || isNaN(amount) || amount <= 0) {
        system.sendText(player, "Invalid transfer command. Usage: /transfer <player> <amount>");
        return;
    }

    system.executeCommand(`/scoreboard players get ${senderName} money`, (result) => {

        let match = result?.data?.[0]?.message?.match(/(\d+)/);
        let targetBalance = match ? parseInt(match[1]) : 0;

        if (amount > senderBalance) {
            system.sendText(player, "You don't have enough money for this transfer.");
            return;
        }

            // Perform the transfer
            system.executeCommand(`/scoreboard players remove ${senderName} money ${amount}`);
            system.executeCommand(`/scoreboard players add ${targetName} money ${amount}`);

            system.sendText(player, `You sent $${amount} to ${targetName}.`);
            system.sendText(targetName, `You received $${amount} from ${senderName}.`);
        
    });
}

wondering if this is valid, I've been tampering with some of it and used a bit of ai, wondering if I need to change the sendText

[prisma shard]

Bruh its world.sendMessage() stop with AI man sendText aghh

[dusky flicker]

isnt that the standard for classes, structs and decorators?

[copper quartz]

I said I've been tampering with it and used ai, I'm still newer I figured it knew it was wrong, I couldn't recall the thing for it

[subtle cove]

other than delete obj.property anyone knows other ways or it's the only one?

[dusky flicker]

damn, id make things simpler, a simple enum and asserting everything is little endian

[honest spear]

Well i stand for **If you want it do it in your own way! **
here is why:

• Good IS database would propably go for Custom Entity with huge inventories, i don't want to complicate my DB installation
• Requires special ticking for entity inventory or block inventory to be able to access itemstacks anytime, i don't want to handle this in way it could colide with others ticking areas systems
• Its not that hard for them to implement

[dusky flicker]

i think there are methods on Reflect and Object to do so

[prisma shard]

PascalCase does look good for decorators, and long names, I just acidentaly said it

[honest spear]

yea Reflect has one

but it has same behavior as that same keyword

i would go for it as its more explicit

[copper quartz]

Is there a site that would have the list of the functions and what not?

[dusky flicker]

i love how dbs for people here are(in general) simply hashmaps

[honest spear]

i mean i am part of the C# community as well where is PascalCase almost every where so pretty valid qestion also on my image there are only one identifier thats in camelCase so i understand

[dusky flicker]

like damn, hashmap is more like a "caching system"

[honest spear]

yea

DB is really out of context, but that term is used here a lot in sense of Dynamic Properties wrappers

[honest spear]

afaik decorators are camelCase in most cases, but i choose Pascal for them

[dusky flicker]

there is the documentation

[copper quartz]

Where could I find that?

[dusky flicker]

i really wanted implementing a database for minecraft, it would be an interesting projecg

[copper quartz]

I found it

Never mind lol

[honest spear]

not sure if that woukld have a use, but it might be fun of implementing, anyway i am waiting for Uint8Array support for dp

[honest spear]

well depends on lang i see

[dusky flicker]

dp?

[honest spear]

dynamic properties

[dusky flicker]

oh

i would use strings for so, the problem would be null bytes

that is understood as string finalization

[honest spear]

yea

[dusky flicker]

i have no idea why strings in js are like this

[honest spear]

its not bc of JS

[dusky flicker]

i thought they were length based

[honest spear]

its bc C++ old strings from C days

[dusky flicker]

yeah ik about C

[prisma shard]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/

[honest spear]

JS just passes the string with the null byte without problem, once it gets native side then its unpredictable

[dusky flicker]

didnt think of that

bytheway, is there something about wasm that the engine might adopt?

[honest spear]

well until they switch to v8 i think there is no reason to talk about wasm

[dusky flicker]

really? i thought quickjs had support for wasm

[honest spear]

well they are not sure if they want to stick with QuickJS for long as MC uses v8 for OreUI already

no plans its just in complicated state now

[dusky flicker]

thank god, at least we got a chance

that will make things easier

[dusky flicker]

by the way, where did you find that information?

[honest spear]

long time moving around the talks and script api devs

in most cases its OSS server

that OSS that i have as server tag

btw i am working on Custom Bedrock Server Software in TS, nothing huge yet just starting but raknet is pretty much done

well gtg have a nice day

[dusky flicker]

thats cool, i got no idea on how to write some

[dusky flicker]

same, seeya

[round bone]

I hate myself for understanding this

😭

[subtle cove]

btw, abt the #prop

it works on es2022

[honest spear]

i still hate that syntax and no one really uses it

its more like feature for security based properties where you store information like passwords

[subtle cove]

depends, i use it for class' cache purposes

[honest spear]

example?

[subtle cove]

||vines|| just boolean for this one

[round bone]

for using private/protected keywords of encapsulation?

[subtle cove]

2023 stuff

[final ocean]

How to check the lore of an item?

[subtle cove]

itemStack.getLore()

[final ocean]

Thanks.

[dusky flicker]

by the way, as you are making a binary serializer, i made a lib that transfer data between addons, such as mcbe ipc, the thing is, i want adding binary support to it. by default it is sending json, how could i serialize the data in a way that i avoid the null bytes

im thinking about converting the null byte to maybe a sequence of bytes, or transform it to a specific byte, but i really think that would lead to bugs

[honest spear]

just shift it all by 1

0 is 1, 1 is 2

and so on

[dusky flicker]

yeah but what if i get a 0xff

[honest spear]

0xff is not valid UTF-8 char anyway

[dusky flicker]

i dont want making it human readable

its a binary serializer just like yours, to transfer data

literally getting the bytes of a struct

[honest spear]

i mean 0xff would get two bytes anyway

thats how UTF-8 Works

so don't worry

i have tested this and it works

just shift all by 1 and if possible keep it under 7bit so you don't blow up your data

at this point just do Base64 encoding and you are safe

[dusky flicker]

hell no, it will increase the size of the content

[round bone]

secured IPC?

[dusky flicker]

idk

i just made it

and now i want to add binary transfer

damn working with uint8arrays would be way easier than strings

[honest spear]

actually base64 is 6bit encoding utf8 is 7bit encoding, maybe you loose 1bit but it will cover problem with utf8 and null termination, if you miss by 7bit then it would add another byte so its way to risky, base64 is actually the safest way to store data in string without blowing up the data

[granite cape]

p

[subtle cove]

isnt null strngifyable...

[open urchin]

they aren't talking about JSON null

[honest spear]

we are talking about string representation, JSON is inefficient format to store data in

you can use charCodeAt and fromCharCodes

to build string from byte array like

[subtle cove]

Ohkey

[dusky flicker]

we are talking about null byte which is simply 0

well, i found base32768(im already on a rabbit hole)

i think it might be some good solution

[tardy pivot]

is this a bug with redstone conductivity

when the block is placed without neighboring activating redstone its redstone power returns undefined

and they cant conduct the torch below

[visual zephyr]

how can i get a value of a entity query using script api

[wary edge]

What query?

[visual zephyr]

q.item_in_use_duration

or q.is_eating

[wary edge]

You cant read molang queries via scripting. Youll have to find an alternative if such exists.

[visual zephyr]

oh okay i just wanna debug because when eating an item with an attahable it doesnt animate, thanks tho

[open urchin]

q.is_eating is for the snacking behaviour, not players using food

[mellow jolt]

Hello, does anyone have a solution to block access to a chest with the API, especially against cheats?

[untold magnet]

make it works like a RP (wont turn off ur achievements)

[copper quartz]

How do I include a members username and tag in a .body line
I want it to say "Welcome ${playerName}, you rank is: staff or smth"

I got the name working just need the tag

[inland merlin]

beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity (custom entitiy blocks) or beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock

[inland merlin]

const tags = player.getTags(); // Get all tags as array
const rankTag = tags.find(tag => tag.startsWith("rank:")); // Find tag starting with "rank:"
const rank = rankTag ? rankTag.split(":")[1] : "member"; // Extract rank or use "member"
.body(`Welcome ${playerName}, your rank is: ${rank}`)```

[mellow jolt]

? It's an event, I'm mainly looking for a solution because it's impossible to find one. I'm talking about the original minecraft:chest

[inland merlin]

Hmm, not sure about it being forced open, but might be worth tryn to place an entity around it?

Prevent interactions?

[mellow jolt]

hmm

[untold magnet]

that would work, but other players wont be able to interact too,

[inland merlin]

So the normal before event doesnt stop the interaction?

[mellow jolt]

Setting an entity permanently will cause a lag if I generate it with a scan of the area, it will cause a lag, otherwise when the player looks at the chest but we can always be faster especially in case of lag

[inland merlin]

You say cheats bypass it?

[untold magnet]

try making some custom chests ig

like its not that hard, and u can control if u can open the inventory or not

[mellow jolt]

I wanted to keep the basic chests 😭😭

[untold magnet]

thats just an option,

[copper quartz]

Thank you

[untold magnet]

bedrock limitations:

gl looking for a solution ig

[mellow jolt]

and if I compare the chest when opened and until the player looks in another direction, I can save it in a setDynamicProperty or Map 😖

Are there any unofficial servers that support APIs and plugins? I don't think so.

[inland merlin]

Endstone might be worth a look

Has a way to stop packets of course

But stays wrapped around bds

[inland merlin]

https://discord.gg/C7hZsZ386u

[mellow jolt]

I'll think about it, if you have any ideas for safes, send me a PM

[north frigate]

hmmm since form.show() returns a promise i can await it without problems right?...

[cerulean cliff]

Yup!

[sly valve]

Hello guys

Just joke up, its 23:11

I hate my life

[north frigate]

i said that 3 seconds ago

[distant gulch]

how can i kill an item after 30 seconds that it touches the ground

[distant gulch]

U wake up at 23:11?

[sly valve]

Yep, my life is terrible atm

[copper quartz]

how would I compress my chat ranks, floating text, floating leaderboars and chat nicknames all into 1 function / event?

[distant gulch]

If you want to talk about it just dm me

[sly valve]

Well you cbman iterate each item, check if its on the ground and count till its timer reacheds 30.

Or you are smart and ignore the "touches the ground" part anf just wait till an Item spawns, and add it to an array that iteratee each second, increases a counter by one

Dont forget to remove not existing items to prevent memory leaks.
thats how I would do it.
Dont use splice to remove something out of an array. Replace the item with the last item to fill the emoty space, like a replace

[sly valve]

Ill keep that in mind, thanks

[distant gulch]

Np

[distant gulch]

Okay thx

[sly valve]

If you need help, feel free to dm me

-# but right now im busy, watching Uma Musume

[distant gulch]

Ill keep that in mind, thanks

[distant gulch]

Dw lol

[stark kestrel]

Does it allow usage of script api inside it?

Or we have to use their api in python

[dusky flicker]

i must start loving mine again

[shut vessel]

Do you know of a way to transfer scoreboards from one world to another? Like on a network between maps?

[dusky flicker]

and its damn simple, pushups

[dusky flicker]

you don't

[inland merlin]

Probably need to convert the scripts to python

[shut vessel]

its not possible ?

[sly valve]

You better should do it.
If you need someone to talk with, feel free to dm em

[stark kestrel]

Ah then I'll just stick to the script api, unless my server core needs a re-code 😂 thanks!

[sly valve]

Not really. but you can output the data of the scoreboard, copy it throught the console and input it in your other world again

Or

You fetch all scoreboard with python from world A, and edit world's B scoreboard data

idk if this is possible

[inland merlin]

Its really not that hard and worth it

Basically wrapped around it uses simialr setup

Could even do c++ if you hate ur life

[sly valve]

I would love to learn c++ right now

[inland merlin]

Start a endstone bds server you can make c++ plugins for it

Fun cause its still minecraft

[distant gulch]

Uh?

[stark kestrel]

Oh nah I don't know c++ I just know python and js

[inland merlin]

Can do either, python or c++

[shut vessel]

because I'm trying to make a kind of network that has scoreboards and that you can start games via a server then when the game starts it teleports the players to another map then I would like all the stats that the player gains on the combat map to be put back in the spawn map

[stark kestrel]

Dam

I'll give it a try

[inland merlin]

Worth it because more events that is not in vanilla scriot api

Like beforeEvents

Cancel damage

[stark kestrel]

beforeEvents.entityHitEntity

I made my own yesterday

xD

Knockback was the main issue tbh

[inland merlin]

Yeh

They had Vincent fixing that i think

[stark kestrel]

Oo

[sly valve]

I think the main issue is, even if you cancel the damage, he still can die

[stark kestrel]

What??

[dusky flicker]

pushups are the solution to my problems

as simple as a bunch of pushups

[stark kestrel]

How is that?

[distant gulch]

[inland merlin]

Lol

[sly valve]

beforeEvents.entityHitEntity, did you used afterEvents for that?

[inland merlin]

Are we talking bout the same thing

[stark kestrel]

uh yeah

[inland merlin]

Im talking the server

Lol

[stark kestrel]

Let me show my test code for the pvp

[dusky flicker]

based on what i know, its not

[inland merlin]

For normal script api they can only cancel through the player.json properly

[sly valve]

So if you apply too much damage to an entity, he will die and you cannot recover his hp

[inland merlin]

If its one hit

[stark kestrel]

Ah

[sly valve]

Yes, thats the only problem

[stark kestrel]

Things work differently in my server that shouldn't be a big issue for me

[sly valve]

And what about armor, armor still takes damage

[stark kestrel]

Can do stuff for that

[sly valve]

best solution may be player.json

but nice that you made your own beforeEVent

[stark kestrel]

I was dying cuz man my custom enchants can't work without it

[sly valve]

lol

[stark kestrel]

There's insane logic in it

[inland merlin]

Lol

[stark kestrel]

Let me explain something in my PvP custom enchants

If player has tank on their Armor, let's say all 4 pieces since it stacks,

Reduction of damage from axes gets down 12%, 3% each piece

Then comes an enchantment called frenzy, it deals more damage if u get a player in a combo, now here I have to reduce damages, then apply damages and scale them

Now this calculation is just for just 2 enchants

That's why I needed a beforeEvent for this

[sly valve]

I see

[inland merlin]

Well, would be cool if one of these previews they add beforeEvent cancel

Lol I feel you

[stark kestrel]

My messages were cringe

I deleted them

[stark kestrel]

😭

[inland merlin]

Lol

I got through like half

Anyways, yeah bedrock fun to script for.

[stark kestrel]

Agree

[rustic ermine]

Time for my least favorite part of server dev... Turning the database back on and syncing all of the things I did over the last week with it 🥲

[true isle]

so ive got a new tool for structures for creating custom trees ive got like 2 of like 11 of mine done i also have a few variations of vanilla trees done any specific tree i should redo?

[rustic ermine]

I test with single player usually because the iteration time while using dedicated server with a DB server is annoying

[rustic ermine]

I think 11 choices is plenty of variance if you're able to choose the wood and leaf type. In past games I've done, we'd have anywhere from 3 to 15 variants for terrain props (rocks, trees, cliff pieces, etc) although might need to be on the higher end of that with Minecraft because we can't really rotate or scale

[true isle]

rotate or scale? mine do lol

[rustic ermine]

Nice. 11 should be plenty then

[true isle]

theres also plenty of ways to make wacky shapes with mine so i think ill do what i have and see what happens. so far ive been working with my super birch which was a pain in the ass but i got it. also i tested another with the cordecyps type fungus i made which looks cool so far im still testing the acacia varient i made along with the 2x2 trees

[rustic ermine]

Any screenshots? Sounds really interesting actually. World creation tools always fascinate me lol, especially if any kind of procedural gen is used

[rustic ermine]

That's awesome, nice work

The fourth pink one looks a little flat at the top. Not sure how to explain what I mean

[true isle]

thats what they all are lol im trying to combine them all into one so i can create anything on the fly with the configs from the modal form

yeah its flater at the top like the cherry or acacia trees

theres settings to change that though so its not just flat lol

[rustic ermine]

Ahh ok I was thinking like a willow, but it still looks good. Are you using structure files? Might be tricky to change out the types via code if you are. Storing the positions in a data structure is about the only way I can think of to do it without it looking weird (like placing a tree down then a Generator job swaps the block types out at runtime)

[true isle]

nope no structure files all script

[rustic ermine]

Sweet. That is seriously impressive

[true isle]

but in order to place them in world gen it needs to be saved as a structure or use ontick workaround with the saplings

cuz i dont know another way lol

[rustic ermine]

Uhg yeah, I ran into a similar problem with my harvestable blocks refilling their resource if they were in their depleted state when the server shut down

I used random tick then check against a global constant Map object. When the harvestable is depleted by a player it gets added to the map, then when it successfully refills it deletes itself from the map. If it ticks and it is not in the map it knows it was abandoned on server restart and instantly refills

The first component there

[true isle]

yeah i was thinking about trying to recreate them with using the single block feature or single block structures but that seemed like over kill to me

[rustic ermine]

If your blocks have single state could also just use a local property check on your ticks.

Ontick:
If (!event.block["INITIALIZED"]) { makeTree(event.block.location) } or something. I couldn't do that because somehow it was dropping that property, probably when the state/permutation changed

Sorry lol, assuming you already know all that 😛

[true isle]

lmao yeah my saplings only rely on randomticking to grow it doesnt use states or anything like that so its alway constant

[rustic ermine]

Great work though, really happy to see experienced programmers doing addon stuff.

Have you profiled onTick? Thought about using it instead of random but wasn't sure if there was an overhead even if they didn't do anything other than a bool check

[true isle]

im not that experienced i just read and do alot of trial and error

[rustic ermine]

That's all experience is lol. Knowing what to read and how to apply it

[true isle]

ive used on tick to try to workaround the world gen issue but it still relys on the player being in the loaded chunk or the chunk itself to be loaded. see if i could created a chunk loader or loaded chunk and turn that on or off to load the trees i could but afaik its not possible with how i need it to work

[rustic ermine]

Yeah if the intention is for it to be a "regular" Minecraft world that has your trees that's the only real solution I can think of. If it's intended to be on a premade world you have more options

[true isle]

yeah thats the downside to using scripted trees is having to do the workaround or structures. i even made an addon specificly for structures lol

[rustic ermine]

There's also just writing some code to generate all variants and save them to structure files on a super flat world or something, then you have all the types to work with that would mesh with the feature files

[true isle]

thats what the plan was. my structure tools addon helps with that part cuz i hate using commands to place anythign

[rustic ermine]

Same. Sounds like you know what you're doing, but feel free to ping if you get stuck on something. Those kind of problems are fun to solve lol

[true isle]

still working on other features for it. its got some fills and directional fills with a preview. worked on copy paste and axis flipping but permutations have been a pain to do

specificly stairs are a pain. especially custom ones if theyre used in structures and i try to flip them they dont always behave

[rustic ermine]

Yeah, stairs are by far the worst. It's the only one you can't get away with saying "good enough" lol

[true isle]

yeah...... ive worked on stairs for like 8 months and said good enough cuz it was super close but im still not happy with them

[rustic ermine]

I got so frustrated with orientations on them I just removed the ability to flip them. So can only be placed flat and rotated around the Y

[true isle]

that wasnt my issue it was all the placement checks for shape lol

if you really picked thorugh mine you could see where i said "meh works as intended " and kept going with that lmao

[rustic ermine]

Ohhh yeah. You almost need to make a dumbed down wave function collapse to get it right

[true isle]

all checks i did

spent like 4 days trying to find a perm that was flipped and just ended up keeping it cuz it worked but it was named wrong in both the script and the blockjson but i couldnt find what i mis typed cuz its just so much

[rustic ermine]

Amazing and terrifying 😂

[true isle]

i wanted to throw my laptop a few times

[rustic ermine]

Lol. If you can describe the exact problem and I have time tonight I can make a small example of weighted generation that would probably fix it if you want

[true isle]

i forgot to do like 2 checks but id have to rewrite all those individual checks to include it and i couldnt bring my self to endure the torture

i mean you could try . idk where the permutation is thats flipped cuz its been a while since i worked on it but its a corner permutation

[rustic ermine]

Oh you mean theres just a place that you typed the wrong orientation?

Ahh yeah I see above sorry. Still waking up

[true isle]

ill dm it to you i dont wanna keep blowing up api for blocks lmao

[rustic ermine]

All good, would prefer to keep it here because it is somewhat code related. Need to knock out some house cleaning before I get started on my stuff for the night anyway. If you want to make a repo or google drive folder with all of the files that could potentially have the wrong orientation I'll check tonight though and probably just make a quick parser to find it

[true isle]

well shit i didnt see this untill after i dmed lol

[rustic ermine]

All good can just move to dm then

[slow walrus]

yes, it's BDS based so anything you can do in vanilla BDS you can do with Endstone

[snow knoll]

Does anyone know why when using playAnimation default animations still play simultaneously, but when using the playanimation command in game the default animations are completely overridden?

I'm playing the same animation in both but only playanimation overrides things like the walking, sprinting, crouching animations, etcetera, and since the playAnimation method is meant to work off/essentially be the same as the playanimation command, this has left be beyond confused

Does anyone know why/has experienced this problem, and could anyone help?

[tardy pivot]

God, wish this can get out of beta soon
Class BlockDestructionParticlesComponent

[open urchin]

it won't

it was removed

[halcyon phoenix]

why?

[halcyon phoenix]

I see

they probably found some exploit on it?

[distant tulip]

yeah

seem so

[livid elk]

is it possible to spawn an entity that only a player with specific tag or something can see?

[wary edge]

Use setOverrideProperty to have player specific rendering.

[livid elk]

does the entity can attack other players or only the specific person?

[wary edge]

Youll need to set up the entity to attack specific tags.

[stark kestrel]

Thanks!

[livid elk]

ahhh i see, thank you!!

[halcyon phoenix]

https://github.com/Bedrock-OSS/regolith

do any of you use regolith?

[cyan basin]

ive seen a few talk about using it but what is the actual purpose or advantages to using it?

[halcyon phoenix]

I have no idea too

it says that it's kind of an importer

like bridge

[halcyon phoenix]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.3.0-beta.1.21.110-preview.20/classes/Player.html#setpropertyoverrideforentity

is this what you meant?

I'm curious on how it works

[slow walrus]

it probably just sends an actor data packet with the property override

[subtle cove]

it compiles the addon ur working on to the minecraft folders so no need to import mcpack/mcaddons

[slow walrus]

normally property updates are synced to all players, but with that you can send a specific property update to a specific player

[halcyon phoenix]

I see, I already made one with java so too late I guess, I should've know this earlier. but hey at least I learned java

[halcyon phoenix]

oh so basically if you have an invisible entity, and then you use this method to override a property for the player that will make it visible then it will be visible only for the player?

[slow walrus]

so if you had say a property size which was an int, you could do

// this player will see a normal size entity
player1.setPropertyOverrideForEntity(
  entity,
  "size",
  1
)

// this player will see a larger size entity
player2.setPropertyOverrideForEntity(
  entity,
  "size",
  5
)

[slow walrus]

yep

[halcyon phoenix]

iirc property are custom variables for entities right?

[slow walrus]

yes

[stark kestrel]

Is it possible to change textures of an item using scripts

[slow walrus]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-properties

[halcyon phoenix]

yep thanks

looks like there was a lot feature I missed with it

[tardy pivot]

damn, back to setblock destroy

[dense sun]

can we cancel target of entities?

[distant gulch]

Someone alredy made a spawner like donut smp addon?

[north frigate]

is it normal for my script api to blow up my phone

[round bone]

depends on performance of your phone

but it still should not blow up your phone

[fervent topaz]

anyone know how to use setDynamicProperties

[warm mason]

world.setDynamicProperties({
  id: 'value',
  id2: 123
});

[fervent topaz]

yooo thats cool

[round bone]

It's even better if you're preparing it with queues

[dusky flicker]

wait, dont you guys modify the addon inside com.Mojang folder?

[subtle cove]

Depends on what we doin, either addon, testing, or sth else

[dusky flicker]

wait, how do you write it so?

[sly valve]

I do ot always in the com.mojang/behavior_dev thingy

[subtle cove]

What neko said

[sly valve]

Do people dont write in it?
Imagine after changing a little detail you gotta export or move the folder again

[distant tulip]

I code in a GitHub workspace folder and have a script compile and copy them over on save if it detect a manifest

[wicked girder]

Is it possible to save a items nametag and lore when its placed?

[simple zodiac]

before place event

[lethal bramble]

Blocks dont have the same data as items I believe

I mean when they r in the world

they don’t retain data

[inland merlin]

Correct

[halcyon phoenix]

LOL LMAO

[halcyon phoenix]

you mean item to blocks?

[round bone]

I code directly in it sometimes

But for monorepos I prefer custom copying scripts

[halcyon phoenix]

if that's what you mean yes it could be posible

[sly valve]

Would you like to help me coding a "system"

[midnight ridge]

anyone has a video about how to make a player animation using blockbench?

[halcyon phoenix]

isn't there a lot of resources for blockbench? and also go to blockbench discord for this

[round bone]

What do you mean by a system?

[sly valve]

I gotta do a whole Enemy system for my Tower Defense.
Including:

• Enemy Type Definiton
• Enemy Instances -> literal objects
• Enemy Movement system
• Enemy death system

but im kinda lazy...

[round bone]

You can create your own event listeners

[sly valve]

The event listeners are not a problem

My motivation is -Infinity for doing the Enemy Type Definition system

like I got a base class thats abstract

and then i can add enemy types like Zombie extends Enemy

[halcyon phoenix]

somebody pinged me...

[sly valve]

I saw him but forgot his name

[sly valve]

Must have been the guy you sent the video to, since he sent a imagine with the similar character
