Script API General

[halcyon phoenix]

oh lol

[rustic ermine]

interesting... the first one is called from my main tick loop calling a getter

...
    get isValid(): Boolean {
        return this._player.isValid
    }
...
if (!player || !player.isValid) { this.removePlayer(playerID); continue; }
``` (0.6s per tick, profiler ran for maybe 5 sec), second one is a SINGLE isValid call  from a different function calling the getter for the minecraft Player class, then isValid on that. am I just misinterpreting this? is a single isValid call really that slow?
```ts
        const a = this.entity.isValid

edit: okay, so getters are slow. this.entity.isValid does this

    get entity(): Player {
        return this._player
    }

changing to

        const a = this._player.isValid

brought a single call to 295.73ms. still seems unacceptable for the only safe way to check validity? 0.3s for a single check >_>

[shut citrus]

is java faster than c++/js ?

[shrewd relic]

ong

i wwas looking for this

[random flint]

🫡

[round bone]

C++ is a bit faster than Java (<5%)
Java and C++ are much faster than JS

[unreal cove]

C++ is significantly faster than Java, not just a "bit"

[round bone]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1984856/java-runtime-performance-vs-native-c-c-code

[rustic ermine]

that's not always true or most of the time true. it's actually pretty difficult to write better performing c++ than "regular" java.. meaning it takes a very experienced C++ programmer to write faster code than the average java dev could write. old jvms were pretty slow, maybe before java 8, but modern is extremely fast

now if we could just get a package manager for java that didn't suck..

[unreal cove]

yea java did got faster with modern jit/jvm optimization stuff, but native C++ will still outperform it lol, especially for low level/real time tasks, and saying "a bit faster" (<5%) is misleading IMO

[rustic ermine]

it really depends what you are doing. with c++ you can avoid heap allocation to get speed, but that makes the domain map of your program more difficult to reason with

[shut citrus]

Why can java cancel player attack but bedrock can not?

[distant tulip]

Benchmarks show larger difference than that

[shrewd relic]

now, how am i gonna use this brokenBlockPermutation? since i was expecting block.typeId.includes/startsWith()💔

[unreal cove]

I often avoid using java solely becuase of how slow it is, C++ mops the floor with it and there's no comparison

[rustic ermine]

when was the last time you did a fair comparison though? by fair, I don't mean just making the same program in both languages, I mean doing the same program in both languages the exact same way (avoiding heap for example, iterators, allocations, etc)

[rustic ermine]

benchmarks posted on the common sites don't show the whole picture though, because often the 'faster' one is hyper-optimized and not something the average person would know how to do

also have to think about how much your time is worth lol. recently I wrote a Go program in about half hour that traverses a directory tree of images, gets the sha256 hash of everything, then finds any duplicate images. my brother did a version of the same thing in Rust, it took him the better part of a day, and it was slower than mine because it was very easy to use multiple threads in Go. giving that example because benchmarks really don't show the whole picture

[round bone]

tbh questions like this require much more context

[distant tulip]

It depends on the code itself too, i just searched for a benchmark and found a Reddit post from a person surprised that java is faster, the comments pointed out where he gone wrong in his code

[distant tulip]

brokenBlockPermutation.type.id

brokenBlockPermutation have no property named typeId

[round bone]

also it's easier to use multithreading in Java, it really depeds on skills and context (of an application, software etc.)

[distant tulip]

I don't think how easy a language is should count in a benchmark, you are comparing the best of what that language is offering, but yeah that might be the problem in the Reddit post i mentioned

[round bone]

it really depends on code quality, software type etc.

C++ might be faster, but Java fits better for some things

[round bone]

Java is not that slow to avoid it

you must be talking about extreme cases where is might be actually much slower

[granite cape]

bruh why attachedBlock piston look like this

fk this make me crazy

[granite cape]

i want to solved duplicated bug, but why this not accurated

if(![])world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(v=> system.run(()=>v.player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`${v.block?.typeId}`)))

function getFrontBlock(block) {
    const facing = block.permutation.getState("facing_direction");
    return 2 === facing
        ? block.north()
        : 3 === facing
        ? block.south()
        : 4 === facing
        ? block.west()
        : 5 === facing
        ? block.east()
        : null;
}

world.afterEvents.leverAction.subscribe(e=>{
  if (e.player && e.isPowered) {
    const twst=world.afterEvents.pistonActivate.subscribe((i) => {
      if(i.isExpanding&&e.dimension===i.dimension)system.run(() => {
        for (const block of i.piston.getAttachedBlocksLocations()) e.player.sendMessage(`${i.dimension.getBlock(block)?.typeId}`)
      })
    })
  }
})

[subtle cove]

typeId got called on block at a few ms delay

u can even decalre global block variable, and keep calling it's typeId, and everytime it's changed, u can still call it, and will have the current block's typeId

what's not changed is just the x,y,z that's also why stringifying block results like {x,y,z}

[dusky flicker]

man hell no

everything on java is heap allocated

stuff like data driven might not be supported

java has got jit but that still is slower than navite and llvm optimizations

the unique way java can be faster than C++ is if we are comparing a bad written C++ code with a well written Java code

if you use the same kind of datastructure and the optimizations, C++ will be almost always faster

[rustic ermine]

I'm aware lol. that was a poor example, but the point is to compare apples to apples and not "this is the most hyper-optimized archaic way to get blazing performance that only 1% of people would even know exists"

I also believe people care about performance way too much in general when picking the language they use. 99.99999% of everyone's project is not going to get enough use or traffic to warrant spending much more time on something that is faster

[dusky flicker]

that is actually not true, in general people tend to get languages that have a good support for something instead of it being fast

at least when talking about work

like, i saw a benchmark of backend libs

[rustic ermine]

yeah. I agree there. I was mainly thinking about some of the Rust community thinking everything should be in rust when that is just not true lol

[dusky flicker]

man spring boot was at 99

only 13k req per second, while some in rust and C had 68k

[rustic ermine]

13k per second is still an absolutely insane point to reach

[dusky flicker]

i code in rust but i dont understand the community im in actually

i really dont know why people tend to be like that

[round bone]

start using Fastify with clustering

🔥

[dusky flicker]

fastify is still slower, slower than elysia by the way

[round bone]

Elysia is really fast, but it's only for Bun

Bun is not as stable as Fastify with Node.js

[dusky flicker]

isnt bun node compatible?

i thought it would work on node as well

[round bone]

not really

[stark kestrel]

When is beforeEvents.entityHitEntity coming bruh 😭

[halcyon phoenix]

ask @warm drum

[stark kestrel]

._.

[halcyon phoenix]

everybody's waiting for it

it would be a blessing it would come

it's like waiting for gta 6

[stark kestrel]

I made my own beforeEvent, but dude, the knockback kills me

[warm drum]

could u please stop pinging me

its annoying

[prisma shard]

well technically, you are the script api

so thats why he pings you :>

[cyan basin]

i mean yeah, you chose to call yourself that.. expect to be pinged

[meager zenith]

Idk what's wrong but how am I supposed to access the player from the command's paramete

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(cc =>{
    const PlayerSelector = {name: "victim" , type: "PlayerSelector"};
    const view_origin = {
        name : "origins:view_origin",
        description : "Opens the GUI for your origin.",
        cheatsRequired : true,
        permissionLevel : 0,
        optionalParameters : [PlayerSelector]
    }
    cc.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(view_origin,
        (source, victim) => {
            console.warn(source.sourceEntity.name);
            console.warn(victim.name);
        }
    );
});

victim.name always returns undefined

[warped blaze]

victim is an Array.

registerCommand(
    customCommand: CustomCommand,
    callback: (
        origin: CustomCommandOrigin,
        ...args: any[],
    ) => undefined | CustomCommandResult,
): void```

[meager zenith]

omg tysm

it makes sense now

[subtle cove]

same thing

[untold magnet]

well well well

fixed, i can detect When u load into the world

the event will fire AFTER loading the world, not while in the loading screen

[sharp elbow]

Cool. What's the tech?

[subtle cove]

its more like victims so do victims[0]

[untold magnet]

player,json or entity.json
basically changing an entity property using the playerSpawn component, and apparenlty the event will only trigger after loading the world

[subtle cove]

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(cc =>{
    const PlayerSelector = {name: "victim" , type: "PlayerSelector"};
    const view_origin = {
        name : "origins:view_origin",
        description : "Opens the GUI for your origin.",
        cheatsRequired : true,
        permissionLevel : 0,
        optionalParameters : [PlayerSelector]
    }
    cc.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(view_origin,
        (source, victims) => {
            console.warn(source.sourceEntity.name);
            console.warn(victims[0].name);
        }
    );
});```

[sharp elbow]

Oh damn, that simple? That's cool, thanks for sharing

[untold magnet]

np, i love finding solution for the impossible things lol

[livid elk]

im trying to make like daily reward system, is there a way to detect real world time?

[halcyon phoenix]

I believe you need BDS for that

[livid elk]

bds?

[halcyon phoenix]

bedrock dedicated server

[livid elk]

ahhh

[halcyon phoenix]

there's a few here that knows those stuff

[subtle cove]

Using Date should be enuf for that use-case

[halcyon phoenix]

wait you can get date through system?

[subtle cove]

Mhm

[distant tulip]

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

[halcyon phoenix]

damn my bad

too much script API makes you forget JS Objects

[subtle cove]

It can't be localized on other locations tho, like the toLocaleString on client's side won't work accurately

[subtle cove]

Not possible for now

Tho the dm usage for PlayerSelector already behaves like "player name", @r

[dusky flicker]

actually 🤓☝️ when entering a loop that never ends, if you try to check the passage of time via system.currentTick, it will always be the same because the engine seems to block the thread and wait for that piece of code to finish to update the engine state, while on using Date.now you can do check because its not bound to the engine itself

[round bone]

Is 2.1.0 newest stable for 1.21.100?

[distant tulip]

Yes

[livid elk]

is it still not possible to update the player attributes using a script? only by using component groups for now?

Look in the docs. There is an before or after event is a effect got add

[grim raft]

is there an inputPermission methode for players?

[round bone]

Yes, check docs

I swear I just checked them how did I miss it 😭

[grim raft]

it doesnt work for entities right?

guys, how to add/remove stuff from an array?
like i want to add/remove titles from the array, the array is empty and u have to do something like break a block to add a title to the array, and like place a block to remove the title from the array, how can i do that?

[round bone]

Push, pop, shift and unshift methods

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

[untold magnet]

thanks, now i understand wtf is .pop used for

[subtle cove]

Exclusively one, so no for now
But that use case already works like @r "Player name"

[round bone]

I'll have shards, and I would like to have a feature to send a message to player between BDS instances

That's why I would like to provide Player (for faster typing) type, but also a string for sending messages across instances

[untold magnet]

wait, is it possible to remove a specific item from the array or only the first or the last one?

[distant tulip]

Array.splice(index of the item you want to remove, 1)

[round bone]

Yes

[untold magnet]

what about changing the value of an item inside the array?
like instead of removing the previous one and add an updated one?

[round bone]

If you know it's index, just override it:

someArray[index] = "some value"

[untold magnet]

-# explain

[midnight ridge]

someone knwo how to get this default texture?

[midnight ridge]

yep split the message by space and get the parts

[round bone]

I know how arguments work, I was curious if you can use 2 types as a 1 argument

[round bone]

Find it in bedrock-samples

https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples

[round bone]

Are you talking about a certain item, or in-generalM

[untold magnet]

like where the title thing is saved at? (1 or 2 etc)

[untold magnet]

just an array to save some titles and keep updating all of them

[round bone]

Index is the place where title thing is saved

Like index 0 is 1st element, index 1 is 2nd element etc.

[untold magnet]

yeah i see

so all i have to do is:
set the titles in a specific order, and keep updating their value using titles[1] = 'updatedTitle'?

[round bone]

Yes, or you can make a function to find some title's index first, then simply update it by their index

[untold magnet]

like searching inside the index for a specific title and get its index value to update it?

[round bone]

Yes

[untold magnet]

show me an example, that will save me alot of time

[round bone]

const updateTitle = (oldTitle, newTitle) => {
    const index = titles.findIndex((title) => title === oldTitle)
    if (index !== -1) titles[index] = newTitle
}

[untold magnet]

good but, will i be able to update multiple titles at the same time?
like i can just use this function 3 times to search for 3 titles and update them

[round bone]

Call function 3 times

[untold magnet]

each time with another title

[round bone]

/**
 * @param newTitles {{ old: string, new: string }}
 */
const updateTitles = (newTitles) => {
    for (let i = 0; i < titles.length; i++) {
        const { old, new: newTitle } = titles[i]
        if (titles[i] === old) titles[i] = newTitle
    }
}

Or use this

[untold magnet]

well, i dont want to use any loops on this addon,

• it looks too complicated for my brain to process

[round bone]

Then use my first function, but for loops are easy and good-to-know - you should learn them

[halcyon phoenix]

Interesting, thanks

[untold magnet]

but wait, how am i going to update the updated one? like making the oldTitle detects any item inside the array that starts with a specific text

like if the title starts with test0: it will be detected and keep updating its value

like detecting if the oldTitle starts with test0: to replace it with test0:true

i mean what to add to X or Z

can someone help

dis shit not work

when spawning particle it either say block undefined or expected type vec3

[halcyon phoenix]

isn't it supposed to be getblockviewfromdirection?

[prisma shard]

getBlockFromRay is also a thing 🤷

[halcyon phoenix]

I see

[prisma shard]

i mean that also exists

            maxDistance: 3,
            includePassableBlocks: true

            };
        player.dimension.spawnParticle("minecraft:redstone_wire_dust_particle", targetLoc);
    ```
after a lot testing, i fixed it , here's the solution ^ if anyone need

[distant tulip]

Use
getViewDirection add it to your head location and you get coords 1 block Infront of you

[prisma shard]

idk that code works tho as i want

does nothing? nvm I'm dumb didn't read the docs 😉

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((e) => {
    e.cancel = true; return;
})

for discord search reference if anyone else has the same problem "break block before"

[prisma shard]

okay so the maxDistance parameter in Blockraycast options is kinda very buggy

Serty, do you have any solutions?

[warm mason]

Increase it by a couple of units... because as I understand it, some "other" distance is calculated there, which is somewhat less than expected

[prisma shard]

I tried spawning a particle using Coddy's method to fix the hitLocation, When looking at block. Else, If not looking at block, It would spawn particles infront of 3 blocks, but when I try with maxDistance, The particle doesn't spawn, If looked closer.
If i looked further, That works though

[warm mason]

And then check the distance manually

[prisma shard]

uhh I dont understand, can you look at my script a bit

At this line

const hit = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay({ ...head, y: head.y + 0.1 }, viewDir);```
When I add maxDistance,
```js
const hit = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay({ ...head, y: head.y + 0.1 }, viewDir, { maxDistance: 3 });```
It gets buggy

[warm mason]

in the latest stable it says that they somehow fixed hitLocation... so I need to download it and check how it will work there... and I will not deal with this on lower versions because why?

[prisma shard]

Huh

Let me see..

[warm mason]

How long has Block.canPlace been around?...

[prisma shard]

what the-

Why are they talking about methods that don't even exist?

or they exist, but they are simply not written about anywhere except changelog... well... in the style of mojang

I assume it's referring to .amount = 1

[warm mason]

👀

[subtle cove]

-# cant let ai know bout these just yet

[prisma shard]

I am using stirante's and well I cant find 2.1.0 stable wtf

[open urchin]

it hasn't released on npm yet

[prisma shard]

Ah

[subtle cove]

whats the latest mc version?

[warm mason]

:/

[warm mason]

1.21.110.22 (beta)

1.21.100 (release)

[prisma shard]

Where did you see that? I am comparing latest beta, Can't find anything.

Nothing related Blockraycast Options

[subtle cove]

hmm, my launcher doesnt have "update" button yet. im at v1.21.93 atm

[prisma shard]

@subtle cove By any chance, Do you know why this is happening?

[subtle cove]

mc store has an update btw

[prisma shard]

u mean ms store

[subtle cove]

dunno, wdym "buggy"

[warm mason]

bruh

[prisma shard]

I am trying to spawn particle but when I add the maxDistance in raycast options, The particle doesn't spawn, If i look close

also what diff between systemShutdown and playerLeave ;-; Is it like you can get player in playerLeave but you cant get player in systemShutdown thats it

[warm mason]

I got a quadrillion errors and not one about which versions to use...

[warm mason]

you forgot about the existence of multiplayer, BDS and Realms

[prisma shard]

ohh

[warped blaze]

what's new on the api for 1.21.100? for some reason i can't access the changelog website.

[untold magnet]

anyways, how am i going to see if the titles array has a specific title or not?
like if the array diesnt have the title 'test0' it will do something,

[round bone]

const hasTitle = (title) => {
    return titles.find((iterator) => iterator === title)
}

[subtle cove]

idk if this would even make any diff

const head = player.getHeadLocation();
head.y += 0.1;
const viewDir = player.getViewDirection();
const hit = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay(head, viewDir, { maxDistance: 3 });
let targetLoc = hit
    ? fixFaceLocation(hit.block.location, hit?.faceLocation, hit?.face, 2)
    : {
        x: head.x + viewDir.x * 3,
        y: head.y + viewDir.y * 3,
        z: head.z + viewDir.z * 3
    };
player.dimension.spawnParticle("minecraft:redstone_wire_dust_particle", targetLoc);

[untold magnet]

another function?

if (!hasTitle) {smth}?

[round bone]

yeah

if (!hasTitle("some title")) {
    // smth
}

[untold magnet]

yeah i see

[round bone]

you can use a class with static methods to group them together

[sharp elbow]

You could use any of these methods too:

• titles.includes (returns a boolean, for simple text matches)
• titles.indexOf (returns a number or -1, for simple text matches)
• titles.some (returns a boolean, takes a comparison function)

[sharp elbow]

Have you tried using getBlockFromRay with water? The faceLocation can return absolute coordinates sometimes

[subtle cove]

uhm still a relative location to the block's idk which edge

item.getRawLore() wew

[untold magnet]

well, one last thing, removing the title from the array if it was there

[halcyon phoenix]

what's poppin

new version of beta came out

2.2.0-beta

[round bone]

const removeTitle = (title) => {
    return titles.filter((iterator) => iterator !== title)
}

you have to re-declare titles array then

[untold magnet]

like re-position other titles?

[round bone]

const newTitles = removeTitles("some-title")

[untold magnet]

ill pause working on the script for now and start remaking the hydration ui

[wise raft]

Why is args.length = 1 even tough I have two arguments? (Custom Commands)

[round bone]

can you show us a code?

[wise raft]

    event.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(
        {
            name: "money:pay",
            description: "Give money to another player",
            permissionLevel: Minecraft.CommandPermissionLevel.Any,
            mandatoryParameters: [
                {
                    name: "player",
                    type: Minecraft.CustomCommandParamType.PlayerSelector
                },
                {
                    name: "amount",
                    type: Minecraft.CustomCommandParamType.Integer
                }
            ]
        },
        (origin, args) => {console.log(args.length)```

[round bone]

...args instead args

in function declaration

[subtle cove]

Imagine it's result like what getPlayers() returns

(origin, paramResult1, paramResult2, ...rest)

[round bone]

yeah

[wise raft]

OHHHH

[distant gulch]

Why when i transfer a player to a server it says that is outdated

Even if i can join trough the server ui

[round bone]

you have to update your BDS server

wait, what's outdated?

client/server?

[distant gulch]

this show up

but if i join in the normal way

i can.

[round bone]

outdated client probably

[distant gulch]

i think its a problem in the script

yep it is

is scripAPI 2.1.0 not released or is stirante not updated?

[wary edge]

It just released today.

[visual zephyr]

can i use localization in script api

like player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(some.text.iwant)

then on lang files
some.text.iwant=Some Text I want

[sly valve]

Afaik you gotta use rawtext to do that.

[round bone]

Use RawMessage interface

[round bone]

It's called RawMessage

[sly valve]

[fervent topaz]

when is jayly gonna update his stuff man :(

[snow knoll]

Question:
I'm using an animation that is only negative values of the regular player movement animations for walking and running to cancel the base ones and make a custom one play
Performance wise, is this a bad idea?

[jagged gazelle]

heyyo, I'm back guys...

[snow knoll]

Are you the real coddy or the doppelganger

[jagged gazelle]

Checking my about me answers that.

[snow knoll]

Ohh, you're the doppelganger

[jagged gazelle]

noo lmao

the Connections lol

[snow knoll]

Ohhhhhh, I thought the older account was the non-doppleganger

[untold magnet]

as u can see here

all i used is this:
world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(({player}) => {const spawned = player?.getProperty('xcore:player_spawned'); if (spawned === false) player?.setProperty('xcore:player_spawned', true)});;

along with a tiny runInterval to detect whenever it gets true to do the console.warn and player?.setProperty('xcore:player_spawned', false);

requires modifying the player.json or spawning a custom entity and change its property

the property will never change until the world is fully loaded

[livid elk]

is there a way to control entity animations with something like molang, where i can change the values through a script?

[halcyon phoenix]

like detect something and then play that animation?

[livid elk]

for example, if i have something like y_sample in the scale part of entity animation, is there a way to control the value of y_sample using a script?

[amber granite]

Hello again:-: what s up ?

[wary edge]

Entity properties.

[amber granite]

What is new with script api ?

[stark kestrel]

hi kiro

[livid elk]

what's the difference between dynamicproperty and property?

[halcyon phoenix]

property is inside the entity.json whilst dynamic property is in scripts

and properties are readable through molang whilst dynamic property can't be read by molang

[halcyon phoenix]

you mean, you have a variable inside the animation for example a variable for scale and you want to control that variable?

[livid elk]

yeah

[livid elk]

ahh i see

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah molangs do that I don't know how though but in FMBE they do that to scale and rotate stuff

it's useful but I gave up learning it

[livid elk]

thanks!

[jagged gazelle]

the amount of custom properties lol

[inland merlin]

is it just me, or does "setRotation" still have issues?

when spawning an entity in a direction/facing

seems like the beh files override this still

fyi, using my own custom entity

[halcyon phoenix]

he deleted it lol

[halcyon phoenix]

beh?

[inland merlin]

behavior pack entity json files

[inland merlin]

i did lol, they do have dynamic methods which is cool

i just would totally convert it to a script lol, would be cool

[inland merlin]

struggling with this, as i have an entity that is summoned right after its killed with stack -amount usually -1 amount

stacked entities an old pack i have, im tryn to solve issues its had for a while

visual for you

i have block spawners, and the issue is the stack of entities here, only spawn in one direction on being spawned in, so trying to inherit the old entity that died, head rotation/ body rotation

but it doesn't work in scripts it seems on spawn

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah I tried too but it's too tedious

[jagged gazelle]

What's the issue again?

[halcyon phoenix]

when spawning an entity in a direction/facing
seems like the beh files override this still

[inland merlin]

setRotation/head rotation isn't working on spawn

summoning an entity, i think entity json overrides the script

it just spawns in one direction every time

not inherit previous entities

[jagged gazelle]

Counter it with runInterval....

[inland merlin]

can you explain more what you mean

[jagged gazelle]

Just for a one/two ticks

[inland merlin]

hmm, so instead of one attempt?

[jagged gazelle]

yeah...

[inland merlin]

the issue i see is we "see" the rotating of the entity after it spawns

so it looks funky

i was hoping for a solution on "summon" spawn

without the animation of setRotation

it seems

i could be wrong

[jagged gazelle]

I don't think you really can do anything about it...

[inland merlin]

yeah, i think the json components are fighting scripts

ill probably have to check the components on spawn or something

[inland merlin]

just need that "entitySpawn" before event

would probably solve my issue

and some slight modification to the entity json

as they def clash

RIP

[leaden elbow]

since PlayerInventoryItemChangeAfterEvent has been added in 1.21.100, how can i detect if user crafted specific item?

[wary edge]

Crafting? You cannot.

[leaden elbow]

oh well

anyways

how can i use itemcomponentconsume

event

[subtle cove]

itemCompleteUse?

[prisma shard]

Damn wtf everyone is back at same time?

[prisma shard]

We got sugger back

[prisma shard]

Coddy comes again

[cinder shadow]

I did ask this in the last Q&A we had with mojangsters and the one who responded said she had actually looked at it because she needed something like this and knows that that information is saved

hopefully that comes soon

[prisma shard]

And also kiro is back

[rustic ermine]

It's pretty flexible.. probably a way to do it. For example, can detect equipment by checking if the afterItemStack is undefined, then check if beforeStack has equippable component or against a Map of known equipment, then checking if equipment slot it goes in matches typeId, then apply custom stats etc. might be able to do similar with crafting

[wary edge]

The issue is that you can drop things into players inventory so its hard to figure out crafting.

[rustic ermine]

Hmm yeah

Wonder how expensive it is to even hook in to that event. Wouldn't imagine it being performant with a few players

[wary edge]

I would just wait for official support.

[subtle cove]

its like tracking the very existence of the item

[halcyon phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/peachvitty-gif-24343442

[halcyon phoenix]

it's probably like a runInterval that's scanning every single player inventory and comparing it

[subtle cove]

speaking of inventory, itemChange event triggers when player joins

only the slots with items

[rustic ermine]

Once 2.1 is stable, and tbh even currently it is pretty insane how much we can do now with some creative thinking. I was working on some of my java server plugins last night and just was not feeling it lol. Having attachables/blocks/entities natively and easy tooling goes so far. Never thought I'd admit I enjoy add-ons more than working with paper or forge.

[sly valve]

Good morning

[subtle cove]

await (11).hrs && 'gud am'

[sly valve]

Sir, ya forgot the console.log
And (11) is not a valid function call

[subtle cove]

try it

[sly valve]

What about the property hrs, i hope it returns a Promise

[subtle cove]

hrs property is undefined tho

[rustic ermine]

You all aren't defining global constant/alias for 11??

[subtle cove]

unless Number.prototype §k

[sly valve]

No, i define for each char one variable in a map, like ```js
chars.set("letter:a_lowercase", "a")

And with that I build Texts or messages

[rustic ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/sepples-cpp-cplusplus-bjarne-stroustrup-gif-25570450

[rustic ermine]

Best way to do it tbh

[sly valve]

Ik ik

[rustic ermine]

Just for loop over each string byte and try to build a function call out of patterns

[subtle cove]

why log when u can let it run in the void 💀

[sly valve]

I often use while (true) loops for perfomance

[rustic ermine]

I actually did have to do a while loop recently. Can't recall the last time I legitimately did one

[sly valve]

Lol

Last time I did a really cool system

function a() {
  a()
}

The tps limiter

Or server unloader

Really good if I want to quit the world

[rustic ermine]

To avoid stack overflow from recursion lol

[sly valve]

Why not using formulas, so you would not need any loops

[rustic ermine]

Got an example for a better way? I have a habit of just getting things to work then doing maybe one optimize / strict type pass then calling it good lol.

[sly valve]

Example 1.
total_xp = start_xp**level

Or use

XP(n) = a × n × log₂(n + 1)

[rustic ermine]

Ahh true, if I remember right it was done that way specifically because it's hard to do it without recursion otherwise in my case. The old one looked much better but got a stack overflow if you gave the player more than like 5k XP lol

Now can just either give any amount of XP or set the level to anything and it just figures it out

[sly valve]

Alr

[rustic ermine]

Thank you for the example though, sometimes forget you can assign a type like that

[jagged gazelle]

I find it a win-win to me.

[subtle cove]

Been thinking if I sould post kinda inventory manager in script-res with it

[jagged gazelle]

Regarding to itemStack, can you compare items now at least it still no?

[rustic ermine]

you get a beforeItemStack that represents the slot you clicked on, then afterItemStack to show what the slot you dropped the item on now is, or undefined if the item was dropped/consumed/equipped

takes some tinkering to see exactly how it works. I just did console.log(${event.beforeItemStack.typeId} -> ${event.afterItemStack.typeId ?? "Item Gone"}) and did a few basic tests to see what was going on

[jagged gazelle]

Thanks for that but I've known that since BETA release, what I mean by compare is literally compare them like how you compare a native JSON object.

[sly valve]

Will we aever be able to read json files.. i mean just like

const json = JSONReader.read("PATH TO JSON FILE")
// will throw error if file is out of bounds or not a .json

Why is it soo hard for Microsoft to do something we want

[jagged gazelle]

someone discussed this a long time ago and one of it is privacy...

-# ok I genuinely forgot Microsoft also handles Minecraft

[sly valve]

Privacy? wdym

Like to prevent reading datas we should not read

[jagged gazelle]

Like accessing json files outside of behavior packs BLA BLA BLA...

I can't speak or say anything about it a lot but that's one of the main points of why it's not added YET.

[sly valve]

lol it isnt that hard to make it safe

async function JSONReader(relativePath: string): Promise<Object> {
  if (OutOfBounds(relativePath)) throw new PathError(...);

  // idk something to check if its a vlaid path
}

[jagged gazelle]

const hit = player?.dimension?.getBlockFromRay(head, dir, { maxDistance: dist });
const ray = hit ? null : player?.dimension?.getEntitiesFromRay(head, dir, { maxDistance: dist })?.[0];
const distance = hit ? null : ray?.distance ?? dist;
const target = hit 
  ? fixFaceLocation(hit.block?.location, hit.faceLocation, hit.face, 2)
  : Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(head)?.map(([axis, val]) => [axis, val + (dir?.[axis] ?? 0) * distance]));```


Damn, I like this format lol

[sly valve]

pretty

[jagged gazelle]

eurt... it's a lil bit redundant in my taste if I do this.js const target = hit ? fixFaceLocation(hit.block?.location, hit.faceLocation, hit.face, 2) : ray ? Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(head)?.map(([axis, val]) => [axis, val + (dir?.[axis] ?? 0) * ray.distance])) : Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(head)?.map(([axis, val]) => [axis, val + (dir?.[axis] ?? 0) * dist]));

anyways....

I need help.

How to be happy and motivated again?

[halcyon phoenix]

find your interests

that's how I get out of burn out

[livid elk]

is there a way to automatically run something when I change the slider value without having to confirm it?

[round bone]

no

[halcyon phoenix]

why though?

[subtle cove]

Is it possible thru jayson yu-ai?

[livid elk]

im trying to change my entity variant using that slider

[distant tulip]

do something that you love doing, if you are burnt out from it take a break and do some random shit, join some old servers you used to talk in, take a walk outside and that sorta of thing

[distant tulip]

no

[jagged gazelle]

nope since server form is literally server side, you need to send it to server to confirm it.

[jagged gazelle]

^

that's why the loading animation of UI exists.

-# thanks you arx for explaining it to me way way back lol

[livid elk]

ahhh i see

is there something like itemUse that keeps running a command until i release right click?

[halcyon phoenix]

I loathe datshi

[warm mason]

you can use itemStartUse and itemReleaseUse, thus starting and stopping the interval, but you need a component that helps "long use" of the item, like "food" or "throwable"

or you can use a custom component + onUse + minecraft:cooldown, but I'm not sure if that will work now

[wheat condor]

is bundle component still in beta in 1.21.100?

[untold magnet]

yao uh, what should i use to remove all titles from the array?

[stuck ibex]

dont encourage that tbh, self motivation is a skill that a person needs to learn eventually

burn outs are inevitable

[prisma shard]

you mean clear the array?

just do like

let array = [1,2,3];

array = [];``` 
idk what u mean

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah I know but if you don't prevent that you might lose something, that's why I motivate my self via interests, hobbies or interaction.

[stuck ibex]

wym lose something?

ig thats person by person

[sly valve]

I have heard this works

array.length = 0

[prisma shard]

ye this also works

but for let

not const

[warm mason]

looks like it shouldn't work

[prisma shard]

no it will

length property is modifiable

[sly valve]

Imagine this will cause memory leaks

[warm mason]

hmmm

yes it works

[subtle cove]

-# beware of ram m9 footprint

[sly valve]

M9 is outdated, M14 is in

this guy claims molang is a proper language now

[subtle cove]

more like random names starting with M

[subtle cove]

-# she

[warm mason]

and what's the point?

[prisma shard]

idk

i mean like how will that help?

[stuck ibex]

simplified molang i guess

like json ui -> ore

[warm mason]

why molang in scripts?

[prisma shard]

imagine if we can do ore ui with html :>

wlel probably we cna in future

[stuck ibex]

i mean not necessarily simplified but like more readable

[warm mason]

it's like

const script = "console.log(1 + 1)";
eval(script);

like, why?

[untold magnet]

btw, system.runInterval without a world.getALlPlayers will cause input lag right?
even if it runs every 1s?

[warm mason]

????

[prisma shard]

what?

[subtle cove]

depends on what's done in the function there

[untold magnet]

just changing one dynamic property

nothing else

[prisma shard]

bru-

what does this have to do with world.getPlayers

[untold magnet]

just making sure it wont cause input lag

[warm mason]

[subtle cove]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-private-its-no-good-i-dont-know-the-codes-codes-gif-23546774

[untold magnet]

calling the world.getPlayers every tick will cause input lag
afaik*

anyways

[warm mason]

what is the input lag? Input of what?

maybe you wanted to say slowing down scripts and as a result reducing TPS?

[warm mason]

well, any script does this

[sly valve]

Just buffer online players instead of re-getting them

Add some to the buffer on join, remove when they leave

Ez

[round bone]

titles.length = 0
// OR
titles.splice(0, titles.length)
// OR
titles.filter(() => false)
// OR
while (titles.length > 0) titles.pop()

[untold magnet]

thats what im doing in only one addon, all of the other addons wont have any intervals

[halcyon phoenix]

whre is that LOL

[halcyon phoenix]

MolangParser....

[untold magnet]

titles.splice(0, titles.lenght) looks good for me

[warm mason]

the first two sound like the most effective but the third one won't work

[round bone]

why it won't work?

it'll just return an empty array

filter's argument is a function that returns a boolean

[sly valve]

Why ;-;

[warm mason]

because Array.filter returns a new array and does NOT touch the current one

[round bone]

oh, then you can assign result to a new variable

[sly valve]

Why...

You gotta add a proxy instead

[sharp elbow]

Ideally it should mutate the original array so that would not be necessary

[subtle cove]

oh boi

[round bone]

let's say, if we have a constant array, the best practise is to NOT modify it, just copy it and work with it's copy

[warm mason]

array.length = 0;

[sly valve]

Thats useless overhead.
Use that:

function clearArrayRecursively(arr) {
  // Unnecessary helper function using closure and Promises
  function asyncClear(index) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        if (index >= arr.length) {
          resolve();
        } else {
          // pointless operation before removal
          arr[index] = undefined;
          arr.splice(index, 1); // actually remove element

          // Recursive call wrapped in Promise chain with closure
          resolve(asyncClear(index));
        }
      }, Math.random() * 10); // random delay for maximum overhead
    });
  }

  // Another pointless construct: a generator to verify the array is *really* empty
  function* confirmEmpty() {
    while (arr.length > 0) {
      yield false;
    }
    yield true;
  }

  // Begin the nonsense
  asyncClear(0).then(() => {
    const checker = confirmEmpty();
    let result = checker.next();
    while (!result.value) {
      console.log("Waiting... array is still not empty enough.");
      result = checker.next();
    }
    console.log("Array has been cleared... somehow.");
  });
}

// Example usage:
const myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
clearArrayRecursively(myArray);

[sharp elbow]

For a tuple, sure. Though I'm assuming t17x is using an array just to hold data, not unlike a record or map

[warm mason]

let array = []; // no, too easy
let array = new Array(99999).fill(123).filter(n => false); // maybe still too easy

[round bone]

he is using a global array

[untold magnet]

const titles = [];

[round bone]

I am not talking about cases like this

[sly valve]

Do

function clearArrayRecursively(arr) {
  // Unnecessary helper function using closure and Promises
  function asyncClear(index) {
    return new Promise((resolve) => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        if (index >= arr.length) {
          resolve();
        } else {
          // pointless operation before removal
          arr[index] = undefined;
          arr.splice(index, 1); // actually remove element

          // Recursive call wrapped in Promise chain with closure
          resolve(asyncClear(index));
        }
      }, Math.random() * 10); // random delay for maximum overhead
    });
  }

  // Another pointless construct: a generator to verify the array is *really* empty
  function* confirmEmpty() {
    while (arr.length > 0) {
      yield false;
    }
    yield true;
  }

  // Begin the nonsense
  asyncClear(0).then(() => {
    const checker = confirmEmpty();
    let result = checker.next();
    while (!result.value) {
      console.log("Waiting... array is still not empty enough.");
      result = checker.next();
    }
    console.log("Array has been cleared... somehow.");
  });
}

// Example usage:
const myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
clearArrayRecursively(myArray);

[sharp elbow]

If setting length to 0 works, I'd do that.

[warm mason]

then just do titles.length = 0 if you want to clear the array

[round bone]

length is also most efficient

[untold magnet]

ill use titles.splice(0, titles.length); just bec it looks good

[warm mason]

not so effective, but ok

[round bone]

his code, his rights I think

[sharp elbow]

It's better if you need the results of the array. splice shifts elements around, and it returns the deleted results; if you intend to immediately discard those results, this isn't very useful

[sly valve]

We wont allow you

[sharp elbow]

It's a concern about code readability more than anything.

[warm mason]

@sharp elbow @round bone ❤️

I will allow him, beacuse he is a future competitior on job market

in setLore, .length is also called in mc

.length still more gooddddd

this array stuff has gone out of hand

[untold magnet]

if u really love array.length = 0, then just use it on ur own scripts

[sly valve]

I hope your script Crashes

[warm mason]

no, in my scripts I only use #1067535608660107284 message

[round bone]

const optimizationTrick = new ArrayBuffer(2_000_000_000_000)

use this

[untold magnet]

better than .length = 0

[warm mason]

you forgot anti in the variable name

[sly valve]

What does array buffer do?

[prisma shard]

interesting what is this?

[round bone]

you need to get some memory for yourself

[round bone]

it allocates memory

a small 2TB in this case

[sly valve]

Small

clear an array? delete the .js file that contains the array

you can make a potion but you can't set the data

you can use structures or create an entity with inventory, add those items there and just manage it

why WOULD I do it for them?

ima try and do some kinematics with it

[prisma shard]

I am making my duck entity. I tried a lot but finally came to that, making the entity swim isn't possible with Behaviour JSON.
so i think i'd try to applyImpulse to make it swim. But I have no ideas about the knockback value.. Can anyone help? I want to make it realistically swim, so will I really have to create whole pathfinding AI for it ;-; bruh

[sharp elbow]

How are you wanting it to swim? There may be some nebulous combination of behaviors for that

[prisma shard]

uh

Like a duck?

xD

[sharp elbow]

Floats on top of the water?

[prisma shard]

Yeah yea

I made it float using behaviour JSON. but just need to apply the knockback to make it swim using scripts.

[sharp elbow]

I would try a navigation component with "can_path_over_water": true combined with the buoyant component; the latter is finicky to get right though

[prisma shard]

I'm not really good with entities behaviour ;-;

aw

[loud brook]

Is it possible to slow down a player without affecting its FOV with script?

[livid elk]

is there a way to reduce damage from entity attack? like extra armor effect

You can tell people to disable that option in thesettings.

[loud brook]

Can I disable it through script?

[wary edge]

No.

[loud brook]

Damn it

[subtle cove]

ever tried minecraft:transform yet?

[inland merlin]

Can u explain how this might work for the rotation?

[unreal cove]

you could just apply a camera set_fov command/api to counter the fov from that movement maybe?

[subtle cove]

the transform event looks like it retains the previous target

[inland merlin]

Awh yes

[subtle cove]

tho Im not sure of when it dies

[inland merlin]

Ill look into that ty

[inland merlin]

Probably make the custom entity unkillable, and then just lower the nameTag value on calculated entities max health reset the health or whatever, and then spawn a simialr entity and kill it for the animation, or simulate a death animation

Def alot of extra work on the side, but sounds like it may just work.

[prisma shard]

uh I just checked I already have the component

[untold magnet]

i dont see this ever comes out, can u get the blocks component on java? if u can then there is a hope,

[wary edge]

What does Java have to do with anything?

[untold magnet]

we are keep getting features from java to bedrock, so thats why i mentioned java there

[wary edge]

I mean there is a workaround but yeah that would be consistent.

[wary edge]

Thats for gameplay. Technical parity is never the goal.

[untold magnet]

i see, im just trying to give him a little hope, and now the hope is gone

lol

[untold magnet]

btw, can the entityLoad component detects when the world is fully loaded? like detecting the player entity when it gets loaded or it only works for other entities?
