thanks

i expected this, but i also hoped it could work

[midnight crane]

Can somebody send me the docs for applying knockback

[subtle cove]

I would search here 'applyKnockback' for more samples

[floral timber]

import { EntityQueryOptions, DimensionLocation } from "@minecraft/server";

function bounceSkeletons(targetLocation: DimensionLocation) {
  const mobs = ["creeper", "skeleton", "sheep"];
  const horizontalForce = { x: 5, z: 4 }; // horizontal knockback strength - xz vector
  const verticalStrength = 0.3;           // upward knockback strength

  // Spawn 10 mobs in a pattern
  for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    targetLocation.dimension.spawnEntity(
      mobs[i % mobs.length],
      targetLocation
    );
  }

  const eqo: EntityQueryOptions = { type: "skeleton" };

  // Apply knockback to all skeletons in the area
  for (const entity of targetLocation.dimension.getEntities(eqo)) {
    entity.applyKnockback(horizontalForce, verticalStrength);
  }
}

the fact that @granite badger aint even updating the example even after PR sucks, kinda.

[prisma shard]

he told u to make a pr ;/

[floral timber]

and so i did

[prisma shard]

hmm okay nice

he;s just not on that repo working, there are alot things old

[floral timber]

yeah, sry, (jayly) I didnt mean anything personal.

[midnight crane]

I just needed the docs but thank you

Sorry if that comes off rude btw

[floral timber]

ohk

[floral timber]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Entity-1.html#applyknockback

the example's kinda outdated ig...

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah most of the examples are way too outdated

[narrow lintel]

Hello everyone, can you help me? I need to summon lightning at custom projectile when it hits entities or hits any blocks, anybody can make a script?

[nimble schooner]

(I'm on 21.100) how do I make it test for block ticks? That's the way it's described in the wiki. And what's a startUp listener? Ty for the runcommand thing btw

aww, did he get my ip adrress?
he must not cause i live in the backrooms

[halcyon phoenix]

nah, he got your nose

👃

[granite badger]

PR is merged. Should be on site soon, sorry about that

[floral timber]

great! why sorry.

[granite badger]

What did they add in v2 APIs btw, haven’t been catching up

[echo tinsel]

where can i find on_interact documentation?

[inland merlin]

i went from script api only, to endstone c++ plugin development can can't go back to script api anymore its crazy how much more we can do with server software

[valid ice]

How is endstone, btw? Is it pretty good? (I’m guessing yes)

[inland merlin]

yesss its def worth it.

because you still can use it like normal bds, but then you can use plugin development with python or c++.

many more options like beforeEvent cancels, and tons of other options

[valid ice]

Hmm

Does it support RP & BP alongside plugins?

Mainly asking for RP

[inland merlin]

yes, it supports all RP and BP normally

[valid ice]

Zamn

I’ll have to look into that

[inland merlin]

yeah, its built on top of bds

yeah its amazing

[granite badger]

you're not wrong

[slow loom]

Yeah ig I don't understand that part, been trying to have AI help me build this

[round bone]

Depends on your needs, if you're familiar with add-ons and BDS ecosystem enough, you don't really need to use Endstone

I am not using Endstone, beacuse I prefer to have a stable server software rather than lots of functions and plugins, that I won't even use, but it's really good for simple servers

If you server will be a bigger network, consider using proxies with it and then you'll see, if Endstone is must-have for you

Unless, just use Endstone

[wise raft]

is it possible to know if a player uses vv?
player0.graphicsMode says Fancy, but Fancy is also Fancy

[wary edge]

Yes it should be.

[wise raft]

[wary edge]

You might need to relaunch Minecraft properly then? Did you toggle the graphics mode ingame?

[wise raft]

yes

with rejoining it works, thanks

[wary edge]

That's your issue. The game doesn't recognize if you change it ingame.

[wise raft]

It can when I change to Simple

[wary edge]

Specifically for VV and Fancy since it's a different pipeline.

[livid elk]

is it possible to change entity inventory "restrict_to_owner" value using script?

[deep arrow]

Is it possible to get the entity that is being rode on, from the riding entity

[halcyon phoenix]

oh dang, those are mojangs examples right? they should update their docs examples

[thorn flicker]

you can trigger an event on the entity that adds/removes component groups

so yes

[livid elk]

ahh i see, btw how i can set the owner for entity inventory?

read the doc you just sent

[winter plaza]

How do I make my projectile born leashed?

[warped blaze]

it must have the leashable component

then spawn it, get the component and leash it

[winter plaza]

function spawnProjectile(entityId, player, name = false, leash = false) {
  try {
    const dir = player.getViewDirection();
    const origin = player.getHeadLocation();

    const pos = {
      x: origin.x + dir.x,
      y: origin.y + dir.y,
      z: origin.z + dir.z
    };

    const projectile = player.dimension.spawnEntity(entityId, pos);
    const comp = projectile.getComponent("projectile");
    const comp2 = projectile.getComponent("leashable");
    if (name) {
      projectile.nameTag = player.nameTag
    }
    if (leash) {
      comp2.leash(player);
    }
    if (comp) {
      comp.owner = player;
      comp.shoot({
        x: dir.x * 1.5,
        y: dir.y * 1.5,
        z: dir.z * 1.5
      });
    } else {
      console.warn(`[PROJETIL] A entidade '${entityId}' não tem o componente 'projectile'`);
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.warn(`[Erro em spawnProjectile]: ${e}`);
  }
}

when I leave leash true, it gives the error "not a function"

[warped blaze]

replace leash(player) with leashTo(player)

[winter plaza]

Ok

[lethal bramble]

What is the script version

[lapis heart]

How can I get the first empty slot?

I tried this and it didn't work.:

player.runCommand(`testfor @s[hasitem={item=air,location=slot.enderchest,slot=${i}}]`);

[sudden verge]

You need to use entity inventory component

const inv = player.getComponent('inventory');
const firstEmptySlot = inv.container.getSlot(inv.container.firstEmptySlot);

then you can do whatever you want with the slot like set the item

for enderchest idk

[prisma shard]

mm

if you tried to get a item's localizationKey, would that return like item.apple? and how can i get the actual name.. Oh maybe by using string methods to remove the item. and capitalize the name after it?

cant i get nameTag of item,,, isnt the nameTag is the item's name? like wouldnt it return Apple if i used get the item's nameTag

ok gotta test mayb in game

[sudden verge]

i think it is empty unless it is explicitly renamed to something (for example via anvil)

i might be wrong tho

[floral timber]

u r correct

[prisma shard]

ah

[sudden verge]

with script APIs you cant access the enderchest inventory (from what I can tell from the docs). But you can use commands & the hasitem selector to do that.

I would write a .mcfunction that checks every enderchest slot & when it finds an empty slot store the slot id in a scoreboard. Then in a new function pass over every slot again but include a condition to check for the slot, then do whatever you need to do with it.
(Can all be done with execute command)

[floral timber]

for most of the things this should do,

const text = itemStack.localizationKey
world.sendMessage({translate: text})

[prisma shard]

Oh,, the translate, thanks

does that translate work outside of sendMessage..

[floral timber]

i dont think so, have to check. its mainly on native methods iirc.

forms and all.

[prisma shard]

alr

[sudden verge]

any function that takes RawMessage interface as a parameter

should work

[prisma shard]

oki

[distant tulip]

function enderChestFirstEmptySlot(player) {
  for (let i = 0; i < 27; i++) {
    const isEmpty = player.runCommand(`replaceitem entity @s slot.enderchest ${i} keep air`).successCount
    if (isEmpty) return i
  }
}

alright

[woven loom]

Dealing with all the friction values is hard

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah and applyimpulse ignores knockback so it could ease the roughness

it's janky tho

[distant tulip]

Madlad have something for it but it is not accurate

[woven loom]

imo what u can do is summon a fake player and make it walk to a location and tp ur entity to that player

iic we dont need structures to spawn fake players now

Like this right?

[round bone]

yes, just check before calling a function if player actually a Player instance

if (!(player instanceof Player)) return

[final ocean]

Ok

[buoyant canopy]

Is there a way to check if a translation key exists or not?

[round bone]

Where are you getting translation key from?

[buoyant canopy]

i have a behavior pack, and i have a resource pack, the behavior pack tries to send a rawMessage, if it gets translated, show it, if it doesn't send a default message.

[subtle cove]

translate doesnt throw errors tho

U gotta make another lang lib for js reference

[amber nest]

Why is remember m9 a member now

[warm mason]

You may have to use JSON UI

[round bone]

you have to create your own functions that checks if language translation exists

class LanguageTranslations {
    private constructor() {}
    private static readonly TRANSLATION_KEYS: Readonly<Set<string>> = new Set<string>([
        // keys go here
    ])

    public static isValid(key: string): boolean {
        return this.TRANSLATION_KEYS.has(key)
    }
}

[prisma shard]

?????????????

[buoyant canopy]

are you AI?

[floral timber]

Actually Incredible? yeah he is.

[round bone]

https://tenor.com/view/keyaan-john-wick-keanu-reeves-gif-2384046765437701795

[warm mason]

Basically, just a piece of code that doesn't solve the problem at all.

I have an idea how this can be done via JsonUI, but it seems to me that it doesn't work that way.

It also depends on the type of this text, because if it is the name of an entity or block or item, then it can be checked, but if not, then it cannot.

Although the easiest way is to just do a translation for all keys

[round bone]

how this does not solve the problem?

you can create a script to automaticly generate a JSON file will all of vanilla keys

or just one of them

[warm mason]

because it's just an OOP shell that needs keys anyway. The problem is that we don't know the keys and don't want to manually put them in there

[round bone]

where did he say that he can't just use a pre-built list?

it's much simpler to-do than using JSON-UI with it

[warm mason]

He didn't say that, yeah. But I think it's obvious if he had that question. And I don't think he had any problems checking if the element was in the list.

[round bone]

if he is maintaining a server, he could use a pre-built

[floral timber]

i was saying, can u not just put it somewhere and get its display value? signs or something for checking? if the value is same as key, it aint translating. just asking. would it work?

[warm mason]

He can, but it's still not convenient.

[round bone]

so using Herobrine's ChestUI is also inconvenient, beacuse you have to update it if you have more items or you're updating to latest version

[warm mason]

This is completely off topic

[round bone]

nope, my method is using almost the same thing as Herobrine has implemented

just gets a value out of prebuilt variable

[round bone]

if he is going to maintain/update add-on for a bit longer, I would go with this class->method

[loud brook]

why is this happening 😭

[round bone]

if not, then he has to get it work with JSON-UI stuff

[round bone]

could you translate it to english?

[warm mason]

what difference does your method make? The problem is that Pre-built is not convenient because you need to update it manually (a script also needs to be run manually).

[loud brook]

basically it detects the script as a malicous software (Also, i don't speak spanish, this happened to a friend of mine)

[round bone]

could you send the file that this error mentions in it?

[round bone]

it's easier to implement than digging in JSON-UI

[loud brook]

yeah just one sec

here it is

[round bone]

isn't it dangerous because of amount of listeners that you're creating?

[warm mason]

Depends on your skills and requirements for the solution. BUT, the question was still about how to find out whether the key is valid or not, and not about how to find out whether an element is in a list

[round bone]

if you'll put every translation key into this set, you'll also get the result if key is valid or not

🙂

I think you're missing something in my implementation

[loud brook]

uhh idk

what are listeners anyway? the subscribe method thing?

[round bone]

yes

[warm mason]

The code you sent checks whether the element is in the list or not. It is not about where to get this list, if it was an API method (which we unfortunately do not have) or at least a script that gets this list, then yes.

[round bone]

you can get this list by using another script do dig these keys out of a bedrock-sample lang file

[warm mason]

pretty unoptimized...

[loud brook]

I had multiple files with the same form two listeners but different function (for example wide block)

[warm mason]

I know. Let's just end this topic already.

that's also a point

[loud brook]

Here is the chatgpt's optimized one (the problem is still remaining)

[warm mason]

still unoptimized

[round bone]

tell him to rewrite script to implement this thing without using for loop with 2n listeners

[loud brook]

Hold up, so you are telling me it is a harmful file becuase it is unoptimized?

The thing is, I also have this file which it doesn't get detected as a harmful file

[warm mason]

No. I'm just saying it's not optimized. The problem is detecting it as malware in the OS

Try creating a new file and copy the code there.

[loud brook]

still didn't work

[warm mason]

hm

[loud brook]

i asked chatgpt to optimize it further

[warm mason]

What if you just create a new file and write something else there?

[loud brook]

wdym?

[warm mason]

it remains to go back to the past so that itemUseOn starts working... although if you use old versions of the API...

In general, the code itself still needs some work...

[loud brook]

So I shouldn't use itemUseOn?

[warm mason]

Well, like, create a new file and see if it shows up as malware.

[warm mason]

If you are using old version of the API, you can

[loud brook]

But what I want to understand why is this file doesn't get detected as a malware while the other is always detected as a malware, even though they both use itemUseOn?

[loud brook]

Well I use 1.17.0

[floral timber]

he meant itemUseOn aint on latest version

ur code needs work if its for latest api

[loud brook]

oh then I should use playerPlaceBlock am I right?

[floral timber]

ye

[loud brook]

but will that fix the malware detection problem anyway?

[floral timber]

no, it has nothing to do with that.

[loud brook]

How do I fix it?

im generally tweaking rn

[floral timber]

hmm, can u not just copy paste the code in a new file?

[loud brook]

tried that, it didn't work

[floral timber]

idk man

[floral timber]

u r downloading an addon, right? try rebuilding if its doable. or just zip the file and try downloading maybe?

[loud brook]

already tried that man, tho I will try sending it as a zip file

[dusky flicker]

gpt doesn't know how to optimize code

hell the code is worse than i thought

[loud brook]

actually i paste it into my pack and suddenly the whole pack stopped working

[loud brook]

Do you seem to know how to fix my problem?

[woven loom]

Bunch?

I only see 1

[dusky flicker]

.

[prisma shard]

He just forwared it

[loud brook]

This is the original one I had problem with, I tried solving it by telling chatgpt to optimize it (just a desperate attempt)

[woven loom]

first time seeing an error like that

do u have any option to pass

[loud brook]

well, the script is for 2 tall multiblocks

I don't think i have an option

[dusky flicker]

its js, js dont even is compiled, it shouldnt be recognized as so

the application that is blocking might be bugged

[loud brook]

ik right

the thing is in the pinned messages, I found one that is talking about this issue

the solution was to change its encoding

however that didn't work

[dusky flicker]

the encoding doesnt affect, i think what blocks generally would try to find some suspicious syscalls

[loud brook]

so do I avoid using system.run()?

[dusky flicker]

js has nothing to do with syscall

syscall i mean is about OS

[loud brook]

oh

[dusky flicker]

js should not trigger anything

[loud brook]

It turns out I am not the only one

#add-ons message

how to get the dropped item count?

[warm mason]

const item = entity.getComponent('item')?.itemStack; // ItemStack | undefined

item.amount

[round bone]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1259636336990883971

And use item variable

[warm mason]

The component exists if the entity is minecraft:item

[warm mason]

not relevant to the question .-.

[livid elk]

so is the dropped item is already an entity?

[warm mason]

Well, yes. You basically just need to get an instance of Entity, check if it is minecraft:item and you will have access to the item component.

[livid elk]

i see, thanks! ill try that

[cinder shadow]

why do slimes default to a health value of 20 🗿

even when they split apart they only have 1 health it reads 20 for some reason

[round bone]

isn't default health value pinned to a hard-coded component's value?

[cinder shadow]

I'm referring to currentValue

[buoyant canopy]

you had this whole conversation about my question and didn't ping me once?
Yeah I Know about the Array.includes() method and yes, i definitely don't want to provide the API with a pre built array of strings, it was clear from the start that the answer he provides was generated by a drunk AI.

[cinder shadow]

Are slimes just completely broken when trying to grab values wth

It even throws errors trying to grab their variants when they split apart

[distant tulip]

huh, i had that working before

[cinder shadow]

those 20s are also apparently the current health values of the slimes

yeah it's straight up removed

I guess I have to determine which slime it is based on it's movement value which is pretty absurd EDIT: I can't do this either, the value gets thrown all over the place when they split and they are instantly killed by an attack.

[buoyant canopy]

and JSONUI while able to filter out translation keys, it wouldn't be able to provide a default text with it

[lethal bramble]

Do itemstacks with different dynamic properties stack and if so is there a way to prevent it？

[subtle cove]

DynamicProperty only works on most unstackable items

[round bone]

????????????

[lethal bramble]

what do you mean?

Do dynamic properties not work on stackable items?

[round bone]

Yes, item stack can only have dynamic properties if it's max stack size is 1

[slender bolt]

Will changing durability cancel item charging?

[round bone]

Item has to be replaced, so probably yes

[thorn flicker]

probably, yeah.

damnn, I'm trying to make a semi auto gun that when you hold the use button it should not fire consistently

[round bone]

Write a simple script to test that

Log smth into console every time item will start charging

[slender bolt]

Yeah, I used to detect it with query.is_using_item but every time the item durability decreases the item use cancels

[round bone]

You're replacing item while decreasing it's durability, that's why

[slender bolt]

Yeah, I'm gonna try charging instead of using

[warped blaze]

does the onTick custom component for blocks means that the script is triggered every tick? kinda obvious but i may be wrong

[lethal bramble]

Yes

[warped blaze]

k thx

[round bone]

Isn't it more related to minecraft:tick component, is it?

[round bone]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/block-events#tick

[warped blaze]

uhm

"minecraft:tick": {
    "interval_range": [10, 20],
    "looping": true
}```

so does this mean that the component runs on the ten ticks between the 10th and 20th tick of a second or it means that it runs around 10 to 20 times on random ticks of a second?

i don't know if you understand what i mean

[warm mason]

this is a delay after the previous launch

if you specify [1,1] it will run every tick. if you specify [2,3] it will run every 2 or 3 ticks.

[warped blaze]

that's a clearer explanation than the one on the wiki imo, ty

Trying to migrate my project out of Bridge into Webstorm but running into some issues if anyone has done similar.. notably setting up a watcher so that I can add my resource pack as a Root Directory, but have it automatically mirror into the minecraft/development[rp/bp] folders. I have the TS watcher already set up, but can't see a way to make that specifically do what I want from docs/MS pages. Alternatively, was trying to put the BP/RP directly in the dev folders and just modify them there, with the root Webstorm project being elsewhere and just adding those two folders as root dirs, but then run into the issue of not having them all be under one github repo

~1800 lines of code across 12 TS files. time for a full IDE lol. getting to the point where changing just one class/function/interface signature leads to an entire night of refactoring, which I completely understand is my fault for not doing proper project / domain planning from the start, just wasn't sure if I would actually get anywhere with bedrock when I started.

[round bone]

as a WebStorm user, I am not using any mirrors

you have to write your own script that will copy these files, or open directly BP/RP directories

[rustic ermine]

Is there a way to add the script to the "build" process? For example, right now I have it set to tsc "on save", but I'd like to maybe add

robocopy "%source_bp_folder%" "%server_bp_folder%" /MIR /MT:8 /NFL /NDL /NJH /NP /NC
robocopy "%source_rp_folder%" "%server_rp_folder%" /MIR /MT:8 /NFL /NDL /NJH /NP /NC

to that process after. I am not super familiar with jetbrains products

[round bone]

what do you mean by build process?

[rustic ermine]

ah I guess I mean .. for example with Java/gradle, you can add pretty much anything you want to the build process. so when you hit "run this Task" or similar, you can have it do something like...

1. clean the server's plugin folder
2. recompile all of your plugins to .jar
3. move them to the server plugin folder
4. start the server
   not seeing anything similar for node/ts/webstorm

[round bone]

I think WebStorm does not support building button like IntelliJ, CLion etc., you have to add your own sh file script probably

[rustic ermine]

thanks. I did see a way to add a script or executable to a custom Watcher, maybe that is the route

will mess with it after I move my postgres database to my mac mini lol. been meaning to do that for a while because I dont like background processes running on my main computer

[round bone]

This is my monorepo structure, not finished due to my other project, but I recommend smth like this

src/ directory contains building script (watching is not finished)

[rustic ermine]

and you just have a script to sync the bp/rp to the minecraft folder I take it?

[round bone]

yes, but I haven't finished my work on this script

I only wrote a script to compress BP/RP directories into smallest zip archives

[rustic ermine]

is what I have been doing but feels kinda bad for quick iterative devlopment to have to restart it every time

[round bone]

-# I can't send a message 😭

[rustic ermine]

hmm not a bad idea to do it in TS. sometimes I forget you don't need to use batch/powershell for this kind of thing lmao

[distant tulip]

Uh, where is script api channel

[round bone]

Most of people would do this in Python or other simple languages, TS is just preference atp

[rustic ermine]

?

[round bone]

We are still in-topic around scripting

Just wondering how he can copy his BP/RP files using a script

[distant tulip]

That look like node js to me

I don't really care tho
You guys feel free to continue

[round bone]

I knew it tbh xD

[round bone]

What if he is going to use Bun or Deno?

😱

[rustic ermine]

might as well just write in brainf*ck

I do actually use deno lol

[distant tulip]

I am kinda surprised i didn't try any of those
I used bun when it came out, but it failed to run

[round bone]

Deno is good alternative, but not as stable as Node

[rustic ermine]

yeah bun and deno are hit or miss. use node always when you need something stable/reliable

[round bone]

Bun is new and they're implementing every module from scratch

[rustic ermine]

mainly was using Deno until I decided to try out webstorm, and now seeing that it can auto-configure a TS project with node sort of defeats the purpose of deno to me

[round bone]

I like it's performance, but I am still missing port of some of modules like bedrock-protocol, which are essential for my work

[distant tulip]

That kinda sound like a stupid idea, there millions of modules out there

[round bone]

It's pretty good after all, Bun is hitting up to x2-3 better benchmark scores than Node overall

[rustic ermine]

yeah it's pretty fast if it works for what you need

but to be fair, if I need something fast, any JS runtime is not what I would reach for

java + spring/hibernate 🙂

[round bone]

I got pretty deeper with JS, and it's not that bad in-topic of perfomance

[rustic ermine]

nope it absolutely is fast enough.

[round bone]

Fastify (JS back-end library) is faster than Spring

[rustic ermine]

yes, but does not offer even 1/10th the features lol

[distant tulip]

It ihs not bad, but compared to stuff like go rust c or c++ it is kinda slow

[rustic ermine]

its pretty hard to get meaningfully faster on a complete project stack than node with rust/c++. by that I mean, its very easy to whip up a benchmark that "proves" rocket or something is fast AF, but once you start getting into a full web stack with IO bottlenecks etc, they end up basically the same, but you'd spent a lot of time reinventing the wheel with rust/c++

[distant tulip]

I honestly use js for most of my automated tasks, i just find it way easier to write and debug

[rustic ermine]

same lately. I only started TS about a month ago, but have been programming for about 20 years. I've very quickly learned why it is so popular

the "idea in your head" to "I have this working" time is insane

[distant tulip]

I don't think i ever used ts in a real project

I feel like it slow me done more than it worth

I am slow at typing as it is, i don't need to define every type to make my compiler happy

[rustic ermine]

you can turn off strict mode. it'll let you be selective where you add types. I mainly just add them to enforce function param safety. but a good example of why that can be helpful.. I rewrote herobrine's chestUI code in TS, and it is about 60-200x faster depending on what you are doing because I could remove all type checking since I know for a fact that the types are sound. filling a 99 button UI with mine takes "0ms" with BS dateTime test, takes 60-200ms with default depending on if you use durability/enchant data

[prisma shard]

same

[halcyon phoenix]

the only thing I find a lot helpful with ts is the suggestions when creating classes and functions because pure js will require you to either guess/check the docs/memorize what you are tring to do

[prisma shard]

UHH

Entity.setVelocity not exists?

Well if it does not, Is there a workaround of doing it?

[rustic ermine]

applyImpulse

[prisma shard]

uh

Im confused lol

Is velocity and impulse same though

[unique acorn]

velocity is how fast they are moving and applyImpulse pushes the entity which increases their velocity

[prisma shard]

yes i'd want to adjust the velocity

how about that then

:>

[unique acorn]

you do that by pushing the entity using applyImpulse?

[prisma shard]

mh

[unique acorn]

Entity.clearVelocity() exists if you need that

[prisma shard]

ok let me do some tinkering

my code is already getting like spaghetti

[distant tulip]

use jsdoc

[sly valve]

They worship you like a god

How.. nothing against your Script but its basically a Set and a Wrapper class

I want rhis Attention as well

[sly valve]

use TS, only advantages imo

[warm mason]

you don't understand, this is very useful (no)

[distant tulip]

how much of your code is actually code

[sly valve]

≥ 3/4

Rest are types and Interfaces

[round bone]

Or you can't take that OOP is much easier to maintain

Working with larger codebases is really hard if you're not using at least FOOP, which is also messy

[round bone]

Art of TypeScript is to write as less of types as you can

[distant tulip]

sound like js to me

[round bone]

JS is missing a lot of features that TypeScript offers

[distant tulip]

everyone and his need, if you feel like ts help you, that up to you
i see a lot of positives, but they are not worth the hassle

[round bone]

the hassle is paid back in development phase, where you catch bugs in the IDE directly

while you have to execute JavaScript code directly to check for even small crack-ups

[distant tulip]

you learn to catch small stuff quickly, it is not that big of a deal

[round bone]

after 2 years in JavaScript, I still wan't confident enough to catch more complicated bugs that early to fix them before testing directly

[prisma shard]

GUYS

I wrote a whole frikin PATHFINDING AI for my duck entity

It's not possible to make them swim using entity.json, So just made it using scripts

It ignores obstacles, Sets rotation randomly and smoothly, Goes into bigger areas of pond/river so they dont keep idling into a corner, The ducklings follow a duck , etc

[remote oyster]

When you say AI, are you using that loosely?

[subtle cove]

Interesting

[round bone]

using hashtags as private properties

😭

[subtle cove]

It's easier to track errors in ts especially with OOP

[round bone]

that's what I want to say, but Serty is such a fan of pure JS with JSDoc

even the app they're using to write their JavaScript code is written in TypeScript

[warm mason]

class ArrayUtils {
    /**
     * @param {Array} array 
     * @returns {Number}
     */
    static getArrayLength(array) {
        return array.length;
    }
}```

[subtle cove]

Then there's also diff ways of code styles

[wise raft]

Can I let player place blocks on my custom block without sneaking when the block uses a custom component with onPlayerInteract?

[warm mason]

then you need to give up the custom component

[wise raft]

and then?

[round bone]

reimplement your custom component to a regular listener

[round bone]

I have never seen a code like this

[wise raft]

but which? ItemUseOn isn't there anymore

[warm mason]

I have nothing against TS, I'm just used to JS and JSdoc, it's more convenient for me and I don't want to rewrite my entire project to TS. I'm just amused by how you turn 1 line of code into 10 because it's OOP

[round bone]

PlayerInteractWithBlock

[halcyon phoenix]

jsdoc?

[round bone]

you just have to wrap few things into a class, it does not take that much effort

[round bone]

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/jsdoc-supported-types.html

[halcyon phoenix]

the index.d.ts?

[wise raft]

oh, thanks

[warm mason]

Well, you can do as you like. It just looks like "ah, why?..."

[round bone]

it's harder to break things

[subtle cove]

Also when renaming a property, it's faster when it's OOP, especially when its all nested

[round bone]

Also a fact

[warm mason]

hm?

[prisma shard]

this code looks like:

class VeryUsefulPlayerUtilities {
    /**
     * @param {Player} player 
     * @returns {Vector3}
     */
    static getPlayersLocationUsingPlayer(player) {
        return player.location
    }
}

[warm mason]

🙄

[prisma shard]

🙄

[round bone]

did he just try to access a property from an array?

[subtle cove]

Those comment types starting to annoy me when I'm coding too fast ngl

[round bone]

it takes even longer to add these comments than a single type

[distant tulip]

/**+enter

[round bone]

import { Player, type Vector3 } from "@minecraft/server"

class VeryUsefulPlayerUtilities {
    static getPlayersLocationUsingPlayer(player: Player): Vector3 {
        return player.location
    }
}

[flat barn]

What is the point of this

Why wrap an already abstracted class

[warm mason]

ask @round bone

[prisma shard]

Also ive figured a thing

normally, this should work

for (const type of entityTypes) {
        for (const e of overworld.getEntities({ type: type })) {

but this also works...

for (const type of entityTypes) {
        for (const e of overworld.getEntities({ type })) {

[warm mason]

won't work

[prisma shard]

oh hey, pyEnjoyer, Long time no see!

[round bone]

he is giving me unpractical reasons why OOP in TS is less practical than functional programming in functional JS

[flat barn]

Hello

[round bone]

will work.

[flat barn]

You showed a very bad example

just lyk

[round bone]

I didn't wrote this example by myself

do you think that I would create a wrapper for a single property?

[warm mason]

@minecraft/server does not have Vector3

[round bone]

it does.

it's an interface

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/vector3?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

even in stable

[flat barn]

No I'd assumed it would be scaled, but there is no reason for you to create a wrapper class over the already existing Array class

[warm mason]

Then I don't know how it works... maybe I need to test it again

[round bone]

you don't have interfaces in JavaScript, that's why you don't know these things

[flat barn]

It should work, It's TS only

[warm mason]

ok then

[round bone]

I know, the array example is written by Serty, not me

[flat barn]

Oh

then no wonder he thinks OOP is less useful

lmao

[round bone]

Yeah

[warm mason]

I just don't understand why you have to turn 1 line into 10 just to make it a class

[round bone]

to make the code scalable

[flat barn]

The point is to make it modular and scalable

For simple things like what you showed, its completely unnecessary

however if you have a system that in the future, you want to update/scale

then OOP is good for that

[warm mason]

#1067535608660107284 message

[flat barn]

functional programming can be scalable if done correctly

same with OOP

they are both good

[prisma shard]

guys stop ill break your code

class VeryUsefulPlayerUtilities {
    static getPlayersLocationUsingPlayer(player) {
        await null;
        await null;      
        await null;
        await null;
        return player.location
    }
}

[wise raft]

That doesn't work when I use a hoe

[flat barn]

itemUseOn maybe

or itemUse

[wise raft]

got removed

[prisma shard]

Should work, There's a itemStack property, can you show your code?

[warm mason]

Yes, and I use classes and everything else that JS provides, but not to copy the Set.has method

[round bone]

it does not copy Set.has method

[flat barn]

really?

Damn I've not been here for a while

xd

[round bone]

it encapsulates translations keys out of a variable to a private static property

[round bone]

quite a long time ago ngl

[flat barn]

It's been like

[wise raft]

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
  console.log(event.itemStack.typeId)
}```

[flat barn]

almost 2 years

[round bone]

it has been removed around 2 years ago and replaced with PlayerInteractWithBlock

[warm mason]

Use beforeEvents if you want the code to work regardless of the block and item

[prisma shard]

• do you have your console set to log? or change to console.warn
• use ternary operators, its my practice 😔
• Use beforeEvent, That will work surely

[wise raft]

thanks, now it works fine

[warm mason]

By the way, the itemStack property does not always exist in this event.

[flat barn]

Ahh I used itemUse recently

fair enough then

[round bone]

It still exists, don't worry haha

Very disgusting

I stopped using VS Code for development about 2 months ago for WebStorm and I feel that writing scripts in it is much better

[flat barn]

I used to use webstorm

but I like vscode

[round bone]

I have professional version beacuse of GitHub Student Pack

[flat barn]

webstorm has a really good debugger

[round bone]

Probably the best one out of other IDEs

[flat barn]

Yeah for sure

Its extremely powerful

You can output a large object and you can search the object using the debugger

I used to use it to analyse mc packets

with bedrock protocol

[round bone]

bedrock-protocol is so weird sometimes

[flat barn]

how so

[round bone]

not much documentation, code is written in JavaScript, I tried to add Snappy support, but the code is so messy I just dropped it

[flat barn]

function Vector(x, y)
{
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;

    this.add = function(v)
    {
        this.x += v.x;
        this.y += v.y;

        return `(${this.x}, ${this.y})`;
    }
}

const vector = new Vector(1, 2);

console.log(vector.add(vector));``` Would this be functional or OOP

xd

[round bone]

That's how I had to do OOP in school

[flat barn]

in js???

[round bone]

Yes

[flat barn]

no way

Yeah, I got some tasks on my private repo still

[flat barn]

I was just messing around with things ages ago

and found I could do that

and I was like

This type of classes is the only thing that I learned from programming school

I still make fun of this to today

this is interesting but I have no idea how to implement it inside functions

can you give me some examples mk?

u mean jsdocs?

[flat barn]

use ts and it will be 10000% better

[round bone]

I love the way you're forcing all of these people to drop pure JavaScript and move onto TypeScript

[flat barn]

I use TS for everything instead of js

I only use js if Im too lazy to setup ts

lol

[warm mason]

🍿 👀

[round bone]

same

[round bone]

use --experimental-strip-types flag or ts-node

[warm mason]

same (but I'm just always lazy to do it)

[flat barn]

Like doing this shit in js is stupid asf

but TS it looks clean asf

[round bone]

Yeah, btw can't you just make these types interfaces?

Interfaces are a bit faster for TSC

[flat barn]

You can yeah

but I plan to use them as types

[round bone]

Oh, okay

Makes sense then

[flat barn]

Yessir

[round bone]

I started using back-end services as a database/caching stuff

[flat barn]

Yeah I use an expressjs local server

which sends data to my db

then I just communicate between that and server-net

[round bone]

I was using Express.js, until I discovered Fastify

[flat barn]

I love having custom events though

It's so clean

[round bone]

I do the same thing, just wrap request routes inside services

[round bone]

import { Vector3 } from "@minecraft/server"
import { AfterEventListener } from "leafpe/utils/events/AfterEventListener"
import { Dimensions } from "leafpe/utils/globals/Dimensions"
import { ServerData } from "leafpe/utils/globals/ServerData"

class WorldLoadAfterEventListener extends AfterEventListener<"worldLoad"> {
    public readonly eventName: "worldLoad" = "worldLoad" as const

    public onEventActivate(): void {
        Dimensions.init()

        const { x, y, z }: Vector3 = ServerData.ITEM_DATABASE_POSITION
        Dimensions.overworld.runCommand(`tickingarea add ${x} ${y} ${y} ${x} ${y} ${z} item_database true`)

sheesh

Basically same thing actually

[round bone]

What are you using packet event for? Blocking crashing?

[flat barn]

timer ac

currently

might see what else I can do

[honest spear]

-# #useovertakes

[flat barn]

Most of the anticheat for crashes etc is gonna be via a relay

Probably gonna make my reach ac with the relay aswell since

script API abit too slow

[round bone]

I wrote myself a BDS wrapper to get XUID and server usage via console/Node.js process

[flat barn]

child_process?

[round bone]

Yeah

[flat barn]

I did that aswell xd

[round bone]

I also had to Dockerize it, beacuse I am on macOS

😭

[flat barn]

Only for server usage tho

back when the memory leak crash was a thing

[round bone]

I am using XUID as a primary key in my external database

That's why I need it

[flat barn]

really?

why not use entity Id

[round bone]

I might have more BDS shards in future

I want to make it scalable from the beginning

[flat barn]

If I'm not lazy, I could make my own server software usable and be able to grab all that data easily

I'd just need to create all the packet implementations

which I dreaded

alot

[round bone]

I like BDS-ecosystem and I am staying with it

I am probably the biggest hater of PMMP and PHP

[flat barn]

Oh yeah

that's why I made my server software in ts

Mainly cos its my strongest langugae

and 2. because if I use it

I can just

recreate the script API

and add extra stuff

to it

[round bone]

Reasonable

Scripting API lacks a lot of things, even a basic ender chest is not implemented

[flat barn]

Yeah exactly

and alot of networking data

is lacking

I can't even clearVelocity on the player well

It hardly even works

as far as I'm aware

[round bone]

We are forced to use run-arounds

[flat barn]

If I could get ping

it'd be so useful

for anticheats

like movement cheats, and reach

[round bone]

Yeah

[flat barn]

I have to get their last 20-40 movements

and try to analyse it

to see if theres any inconsistencies

to determine whether they were lagging

[round bone]

Technically you can use Endstone to get these metrics, but you're getting a lot of bloat with it

[flat barn]

during the "reach"

The timer anticheat I made I was actually quite proud of

I made it a 3 stage system

to prevent false flags

and it worked perfectly

detected 1.01x >=

with no false flags

Then I changed some values and now it false flags

😭

[round bone]

I'll have to implement my own anti-cheat soon aswell

[flat barn]

I'm glad I learned abit of statistics

because it helped alot

with the timer ac

[honest spear]

BDS now have authoritive-moment option and its working pretty well

[flat barn]

but it's really intuitive statistics

[round bone]

I'm going to 11th class after vacation

[flat barn]

oh yeah I noticed

when I was using timer

but u can still use like

1.05x <

thats pretty much free time killer

[round bone]

I'll be on university in 3 years

[flat barn]

I said it jokingly

Idk when I'll be in university

[round bone]

I hope that PHP will be boycotted by this time

[flat barn]

I dropped out of school

and now I'm too old to go back

xd

[honest spear]

PHP is so over-used, idk why even PMMP is done in PHP lol

[flat barn]

I hate php

[honest spear]

i mean the performance is worse than most of the JS engines

[flat barn]

like lua

why do they have

indexes start at 1

[flat barn]

They are like

ahhh yes

let us just DESTROY the WHOLE PROGRAMMING RULES

[honest spear]

yea doesn't make any sense

[flat barn]

Then also

the fucking

$ before EVERYTHINGGGG

[honest spear]

also officially its called element offset indexing

[round bone]

$ is a macro in PHP afaik

[flat barn]

I hated having to reach over with my hand

to press $

[honest spear]

ahh thats why JQuery is the way it is

[round bone]

Another piece of devil

it scales your executables to exremely large files just bc its "safe"

Replace Java, with C#, C# is actually good language

its really similar

Few days after my 14th birthday, I got diagnosed with colorblind and by this time I just learned Tailwind CSS and Next.js/Vite, and I dropped more front-end learning

[flat barn]

Oh yeah

lol

[flat barn]

how old are you now

[honest spear]

also compilation time of rust is crazy

[prisma shard]

16

[honest spear]

thats good

[flat barn]

I started programming at 17

xd

[round bone]

I am not even 17

😭

[honest spear]

i started batch programming at 11 bc if my dad 🫡 🇨🇿 , he just said "Hey son, look i can do this cool shit" and i was like, ohh damn i want to do that too

[flat barn]

It's almost my 3 year anniversary

[honest spear]

I randomly discovered Python Compiler Online, then wrote few programs in it, then I dropped for a bit longer time (in 2020)

In 2021 I started playing Mimo with my friend, a simple game that's learning you full-stack development, Python and SQL, and I had really fun time while playing it

So I started coding even more

And that's how I am here

[flat barn]

🔥

I learnt to code with script API

lol

in september 2022

[round bone]

I already knew basics of JS before I started learning scripting API

[subtle cove]

me from redstone, cmd blocks, functions, bp/entity files, to scripting

[prisma shard]

Here's my history

My dad used to do his office work on a Shit 2010 pc, And i used to watch him , So he teached me about computers (mostly just refreshing 100x times lmfao), then i knew about minecraft from youtube, tried downloading Java Edition, but understood i can NEVER. (how could i expect to run java edition on a 2010 pc???), then knew about bedrock edition, Saw that it can run smoothly on my shit pc. Then played all time, Then at a time, I saw about addons, It was frinkin cool, thought about making them (but couldn't actually, i just used to download addons and look at them, combine those addons), i eventually then watched addon tutorials, those old ones really didn't help, then ever since Script API dropped, i saw its MUCH easier. Then i got into it and i'm here

[round bone]

I was also doing command blocks back in 2020-2022

[flat barn]

That reminds me actually I used to be good at cmd blocks back in like 2020

d

xd

[subtle cove]

what sparked me was the cheaters/hackers in our survival server

[round bone]

Bedrock is much more optimised than Java in my opinion

[flat barn]

back when nbts were a thing

?

[subtle cove]

ye

[prisma shard]

That's why i got here

[flat barn]

still much more freedom on java tho

[round bone]

I have been playing my entire life on Bedrock, and I am staying loyal with it

🙂

[honest spear]

everyone started with MC i feel i am really Alien

[subtle cove]

i touched mc java, but my laptop was dying, so nahhh

[flat barn]

I find it funny how I found my passion for programming because I wanted to make a kitpvp realm 💀

[honest spear]

i started mc on family smart tablet

[round bone]

I started MC on Xbox One console

The same console I am selling soon

[subtle cove]

pe

[round bone]

The same console that has been raising me up for the last 12 years

[halcyon phoenix]

I won't I have tried it before

I am already compiling my addon and now I have to compile my script

[flat barn]

u can use npx tsc --watch

[halcyon phoenix]

it's too tedious to compile ts -> compile addon -> reload

[round bone]

add script compilation to process of add-on compilation

[halcyon phoenix]

I'll do it in the future i'm too lazy as of now

[flat barn]

It will autocompile it

its like js

u can just write the code

it compiles for u before u even get to mc

then u can reload

[halcyon phoenix]

I see, thanks a lot for the recommendation I'll definitely take note of it

[stuck ibex]

Guys, I am wondering if there is a way now to detect if a player has fully loaded a world? Without timing the execution of a code?

[round bone]

Add a global variable isLoading = false, on worldLoad event set it to true

[stuck ibex]

I could've worded my question better, does that executes if the player is in loading screen? If so, that is not my goal

[prisma shard]

No

It doesnt

[floral timber]

when tho? we'll be in same classes basically. might as well catch up to u.

[prisma shard]

im going 10th class after this year

[round bone]

On september.

1st

[floral timber]

hmm. u r 3 months late, yeah.

[round bone]

😭

[floral timber]

@warm mason whats that supposed to mean?

[warm mason]

[round bone]

I live in Poland right now, you are probably living in south countries

[floral timber]

[warm mason]

did you move from somewhere?

[round bone]

I have been in few countries in my childhood

And I am facing some issues with polish because of it

[slender bolt]

How to manipulate int properties using script?

[round bone]

What do you mean by integer properties?

[slender bolt]

  "example:example": {
                    "type": "int",
                    "range": [
                        0,
                        20
                    ],
                    "default": 0,
                    "client_sync": true
                },
}```

[slender bolt]

entity properties

[warm mason]

entity.setProperty('example:example', 3);

[round bone]

You can use Entity.setProperty method

[slender bolt]

THANKS

[round bone]

And Entity.getProperty

[sullen grotto]

Is it possible to replace one script by another via subpacks?

I have a ts file that can only return true or false and I want to change it depending on a subpack player has chosen

[wary edge]

You might wanna wait for manifest v3 for pack options.

[sullen grotto]

Are they gonna drop it soon?

[wary edge]

It's currently in Preview only.

[sullen grotto]

Haven't heard of it before

[sullen grotto]

When was it added? Are there any docs?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[warped blaze]

what

[wary edge]

What?

[wary edge]

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

I've posted a bunch of examples in #1019665690233405500

[warped blaze]

sorry, i was just concerned

[warped blaze]

is it a system or world event?

or something else

[rapid sail]

is it possible to inform the player you need another addon using script?

[wary edge]

You can add a dummy item in Add-On B and if add-on A does not detect that item then send a message.

[rapid sail]

i see i dont understand that xd

i do and dont

so i add a item from the addon thats needed?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[rapid sail]

okay? how do i detect it if its not installed?

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.1.0/classes/ItemTypes.html#get

[rapid sail]

ty i have to keep telling people my dlc addon isnt to be used a standalone they need the main addon to work

[round bone]

Can't you add a pack into dependency array?

Or it's working with RPs only?

[rapid sail]

RPS only

[round bone]

Oh, kinda sad

[rapid sail]

its reduce space and file size

[wary edge]

BP works as well.

[wary edge]

You can yes. But this solution also ensures in case one somehow downloads without both packs.

[rapid sail]

no i meant my addon doesnt work without the other addon

[warped blaze]

pick the id of an item from your main addon and just

try {
  new ItemStack("zach:main_addon_item")
} catch (e) {
  world.sendMessage("This is a DLC, you must have the main addon applied to this world.")
}```

[rapid sail]

alr

[warped blaze]

you can also search the id in the itemTypes and throw if the script couldn't find it

[granite cape]

well well well

[prisma shard]

hi, i got slept last night, but why was my messege deleted?

[sudden verge]

How do you check if a chunk is unloaded?

i know you can try to get a block at a location & it will return undefined if chunk is unloaded, but iterating on a bunch of blocks is awful for performance.
I need to check if any of the blocks in a volume are in unloaded chunks

[harsh robin]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({ player, target }) => {
  if (target.typeId !== 'minecraft:player') return;

  system.run(() => player.runCommand('scriptevent leaf:open stats_viewer'));```

[harsh robin]

soo

[halcyon phoenix]

get a block on that chunk

[unique acorn]

try getting the topMostBlock in that location, if it returns Y 320 then its unloaded chunk

[sudden verge]

for every block on the border of a volume? not very efficient...
I was hoping for another solution if there is one

[unique acorn]

oh you want to test an entire chunk, I thought just 1 block is enough, I mean you can check the 4 blocks on the side of the chunk, won't that work?

[sudden verge]

im working with an arbitrary volume of any size that can cover one or more chunks, I thought that i would have to iterate on every block in the volume. But I realize now I can iterate on a wildly smaller array of chunk positions instead of individual block positions
mmm so simple yet i somehow didnt consider 🧠🔨

[narrow lintel]

Hello, how to block /kill for a specific entity?

I won't eliminate entity by /kill @e or /kill Custom:entity

Please help 🙏

[unreal cove]

Set minimum health value to be 1

[narrow lintel]

Half health?

[unreal cove]

just know that the only way to get rid of your entity after that would be despawning it (or using .remove() in script api)

[unreal cove]

The "min" value inside the health component

[narrow lintel]

it wouldn't kill by /kill ?

[unreal cove]

yes

[halcyon phoenix]

would it still be killable?

[distant tulip]

no

[alpine wigeon]

how do i use player.playerPermissionLevel

it seems to not be working

i tried

if (player.playerPermissionLevel == "operator")

oh wait nvm it's an int not a string

[halcyon phoenix]

immortal then?

[distant tulip]

yes, unless removed with remove() or despawned

[halcyon phoenix]

I see, thanks

[stuck ibex]

dang, I thought Custom Slash Commands are stable

[nimble schooner]

Is there a way to make ui intern stuff translatable in the en_GB.lang or de_DE.lang file?

in lang files in general I mean of course

[warped blaze]

just use rawMessage with the translate key

[nimble schooner]

How? Just put in aaaa.ksk.ls instead of "Aaaa Ksk Ls"?

[nimble schooner]

How to define rawtext in script?

How does it need to be formatted?

[warped blaze]

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

[subtle cove]

form.title({translate:"aaaa.ksk.ls"})

asuming that key exists in ur lang files

[nimble schooner]

Ty!

[nimble schooner]

Ty too!

[nimble schooner]

Why does it throw that error at the THOMAS line?
js form.textField("Na", "Aa Be Cc", "THOMAS");

[round bone]

You have to pass an object

form.textField("Na", "Aa Be Cc", {
    defaultValue: "THOMAS"
})

[nimble schooner]

Thank you

[round bone]

No problem.

[wise raft]

Why is this not possible?
{rawtext: [{ translate: "ui.button.idk" }, { with: { rawtext: [{ translate: ["ui.button.idk.amogus"] }] } }]}

[subtle cove]

[{translate}, {translate}]
Assuming translate is string

[granite cape]

hey💢

[stark kestrel]

Does someone have vanilla PvP knockback replica

Like real vanilla PvP one, very similar

Or one similar to hive or cubecraft

[wise raft]

I don't know what you mean, but it works now
thanks

[narrow lintel]

By command also?

[distant tulip]

no

i mean, you can't remove them with commands

[narrow lintel]

By /kill command, it will killed?

[distant tulip]

no

[narrow lintel]

With command also it won't kill

?

[distant tulip]

no...

[narrow lintel]

By command will it kill?

[distant tulip]

wtf man

[narrow lintel]

Just kidding 😂

[distant tulip]

[narrow lintel]

Btw thank you for clarify

[distant tulip]

np

[nimble schooner]

Why does it say /content/0/default and /content/1/default, expected 'string' received 'object'? The translated text should be a string (it is a string) and at other places in the code translating in buttons or titles (forms) works flawless.

[sudden verge]

default value cannot be a raw message. Like it says, it needs to be a string.

[nimble schooner]

Damn, alright thank you!

[nimble schooner]

Why does this in MessageFormData show [object Object] instead of the translation file text?

form.body({
        translate: "ui.waystone.teleport.confirm"
    } + " " + requiredPoints + " " +  {
        translate: "ui.waystone.teleport.confirm_1"
    });```

Or can you like insert variables from the script into the translation?

[sudden verge]

{rawtext: [{translate:'ui.waystone.teleport.confirm'}, {text:' '}, {text:requiredPoints}, {text:' '}, {translate:'ui.waystone.teleport.confirm_1'}]};

you cant add strings and raw messages like that

define an array of rawmessages insetad

[nimble schooner]

@silent Damn thank you

Oh sorry for the ping

Thought I'd turned it off

[round bone]

console.warn(itemStack.getTags()) // "ore_detector"
if (!itemStack.hasTag("ore_detector")) return

How am I getting false from if case, when the item has a tag

[wary edge]

It appends the minecraft namespace.

Why are you not using a namespace for your tags?

[round bone]

Do I have to use namespaces for tags also?

Didn't know, I'll add them then, thanks

[wary edge]

Yes. You SHOULD be using namespaces.

[round bone]

I thought that I can use tags without namespaces

I added a namespace in every single place of my pack, except item namespaces

[nimble schooner]

player.stopSound("ambient.nether_wastes.mood");```

Why does it say invalid function (I'm using 2.2.0-beta

Or is it removed already?

[remote oyster]

It exists, but are you positive you are calling that function from the correct object?

[nimble schooner]

Yeah, the same with play instead of stop works perfectly fine in the same context

[remote oyster]

Hmm, then I got nothing. Best I can say is share your code in #1067535382285135923 by opening a forum and get some more in-depth help there.

[nimble schooner]
