Script API General

[livid elk]

if i store a dynamic property in an entity and then kill it, does the dynamic property will also be permanently removed?

[remote oyster]

Only one way to find out. Fire up a fresh world and do it lol. Then verify with an NBT Editor.

[nimble schooner]

Does anyone have a link to a custom slash command example in javascript?

[livid elk]

check minato custom command builder

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1383495760045281351

[nimble schooner]

Oh wait the wiki has one

[nimble schooner]

Ty

[distant tulip]

looking at the game dp, they are stored in the entity itself, it get removed when the entity die or despawn (unless player) so yeah it does get removed

[livid elk]

i see, thanks!

[warped blaze]

does anyone know a good way to simulate an elastic movement with applyKnockback/Impulse for entities?, i want to simulate a Black hole and when entities go through its center they do some elastic-like movement

[halcyon phoenix]

LOL HE ASKED YOU 4 TIMES, you gotta be so confused after asked thrice

[distant tulip]

i was

[halcyon phoenix]

uhh... Math...

[spice finch]

Is there an easy way to detect when a block is placed and what block is was placed on including if it was placed on the side of said block?

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.2.0-beta.1.21.100-stable/classes/PlayerPlaceBlockBeforeEvent.html

[warped blaze]

yeah i know, but I was hoping there was an easier way...

[runic maple]

Sup, how do you like make teleporting instant

What am actually trying to do is like a system where left click activates something ,even on air especially for mobile players,
so I made it when you hold an item a mob spawns on your head that if you click it activates the stuff, and I made the mob always to to your head
But it's bad when the player is moving so I calculated the velocity of the player and accounted for drag and stuff to get the location of the player the next tick
But the entity like still lags behind when the player is moving
Sorry for the yap

[warped blaze]

wdym by "instant"

[runic maple]

Like when mobs teleport it takes like half a sec or more to get there

[sudden verge]

it doesnt, it might appear that way because its smoothed by the client side

[runic maple]

Then my maths prolly wrong then

[spice finch]

I dont see any way to get the block that the player placed. I can use the itemStartUseOn after event and that seems to work tho

[wary edge]

The permutationToPlace

[sudden verge]

you might have better luck trying to attach your entity to the player, but i think that requires editing the player.json

[halcyon phoenix]

learn conic sectiona make an ellipse iterate every step of the ellipse's location

[runic maple]

Ok bye making the entity ride the player right,tnx

[wary edge]

You cant make entities ride players.

[sudden verge]

why not?

parrots can

[halcyon phoenix]

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/pfy3diuaat

like this

this one is a circle

don't judge it

[wary edge]

Because things are hardcoded. Just because vanilla can doesnt mean addons can.

[sudden verge]

thats not true, i have made an addon that lets players ride other players, so you can get anything to ride players

[wary edge]

Modifying player.json?

[sudden verge]

yeah

[wary edge]

Yeah not recommended. Good luck though then.

[distant tulip]

make a custom entity with the parrot_tame family

[runic maple]

Sup can you hit stuff that are riding you

[runic maple]

It works without it tnx

[runic maple]

It seems you can't

[halcyon phoenix]

you modified player.json?

[runic maple]

Yh,but it seems you can't hit the entity when it's riding you

[distant tulip]

just in case you don't want to edit player.json

[halcyon phoenix]

goodluck with compatibility though

[runic maple]

Oh

[runic maple]

Compatibility is a dream long forgotten for my add-on,too many limitations without editing player json

[distant tulip]

basically an entity that have the parrot_tame and every entity can ride it
so you make it ride the player and make any other mob ride it
even if the player have a parrot you can just make it ride that entity instead

[runic maple]

I thought about that , I was scared I'd try it and it wouldn't work + am already having burn out, any way tnx,I'd continue tomorrow

[halcyon phoenix]

so entities with parrot_tame comp would allow it to ride the player?

[thorn flicker]

family

[halcyon phoenix]

I see, thanks

[runic maple]

Can you click it?

[drowsy scaffold]

is Entity.getDynamicProperties not a method?

[runic maple]

Like hurt it?

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.1.0/classes/Entity.html#getdynamicpropertyids

[drowsy scaffold]

😭

script API be making no sense sometimes man

there's a Entity.setDynamicProperties method, which I feel like infers that there's also an accessor to go with it but okay I guess

[granite cape]

day 4 learning ScriptAPI💦

[halcyon phoenix]

the inconsistency

[halcyon phoenix]

at least you haven't triggered watchdog

[drowsy scaffold]

exactly!

[wary edge]

It's not really inconsistent.

It's just how and what would it return. We had a previous convo about this either here or in OSS.

#879773489601585244 message

[halcyon phoenix]

oh yeah it's ids, there's really no getDynamicProperties() so yeah

[dusky flicker]

what do you mean?

[drowsy scaffold]

this exists, but there's no getDynamicProperties to go with it

which yes I can filter and map the dynamic property ids to get what I want from them, but that's not the point of it

though I do see the argument against it for the reasons that smokey said above

[dusky flicker]

but i dont think it should exist, what exactly do you expect getting from it?

if that existed

because for me a way of batching dynamic properties is enough

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah, getDynamicProperty() already exists

just loop it through all the Ids

[runic crypt]

How to detect a player head with event entityHurt?

[unique acorn]

player.getHeadLocation();

[slender bolt]

How to detect when a player shoots an entity with a specific projectile then plays a command on the player who shot the projectile?

[thorn flicker]

use projectileHitEntity afterEvent

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.1.0/classes/ProjectileHitEntityAfterEvent.html

[slender bolt]

I'll tryy thankss

[slender bolt]

it works!! but how do I check for the entity's health that got hit?

    const projectile = event.projectile;
    const gotHit = event.getEntityHit;
    const player = event.source;
    player.addTag("shoot");
    
});```

[deep quiver]

entity.getComponent("health").currentValue

Also check if gotHit is still valid

[slender bolt]

How do I define this?

[deep quiver]

https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_variables.asp

[slender bolt]

tried this but it says undefined

    const projectile = event.projectile;
    const gotHit = event.getEntityHit();
    const health = gotHit.getComponent('health').currentValue;
    const player = event.source;
        player.addTag("shoot");
});

[deep quiver]

Maybe gotHit is already dead

[deep quiver]

.

Try it again on an entity that survives the shot

[slender bolt]

It says not a function

[deep quiver]

For what?

[slender bolt]

this line is not a function
const health = gotHit.getComponent('health').currentValue;

[deep quiver]

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

[deep quiver]

Is the entity your shooting dying?

[slender bolt]

No

[deep quiver]

Right your get entity hit is wrong

add an .entity at the end

[slender bolt]

Now it works. Thank you so much!

[iron apex]

Hello everyone! I updated my game to version 1.21.100 yesterday, and all my scripts in my addons stopped working. Does anyone know what's going on?

[unique acorn]

is there any errors in console when you join the world?

[amber rapids]

[prisma shard]

Woah woah woah dude ☠️ a reply to very very old message from 2024

Lmao

[amber rapids]

I was looking for a way to fit the custom throws in line with the snowball throw trajectory, but never got around to it!

[halcyon phoenix]

manifest, files, versions, a lot could happen

[round bone]

I think it's still easier to recreate PVP system rather than modifying it

[distant tulip]

entity hit entity event -> clear velocity

[halcyon phoenix]

does it really clear velocity? I tried jumping verically then clearvelocity then applyKnockback but the knockback seems to vary and not fixed

[distant tulip]

applyKnockback behave differently if you are in air, ground, falling or rising
also, not sure about the player

[halcyon phoenix]

Welp I guess I'll just research more of it

[stuck ibex]

Does applyDamage ignore armors?

[warm mason]

no

[stuck ibex]

Okay nice

[stark kestrel]

Does anyone have hive/cubecraft/vanilla kb values

Updated .applyKnockback

[warm mason]

?

[stark kestrel]

Knockback

[warm mason]

So? What do you need?

[stark kestrel]

Like values

Mine feels weird

[warm mason]

what values?

[stark kestrel]

...

[warm mason]

You ask for values for applyKnockback, but there could be any values, so I don't understand what you mean.

[stark kestrel]

Horizontal force
VerticalStrength

[warm mason]

aand?

[stark kestrel]

..

How do I explain

[warm mason]

you can put a number there, like, from 0 to however many you want

[stark kestrel]

I know

[stark kestrel]

I need beforeEvents for entityHitEntity, i removed vanilla PvP, now I need a knockback replica of vanilla pvp

[prisma shard]

applyKnockback({ x: 0, z: 0 }, 0):``` its used like that read documentation

[stark kestrel]

Wha

[warm mason]

Well, you just need to experiment.

[stark kestrel]

I tried everything, it feels weird lol, that's why I came if someone did it

[prisma shard]

Oh you mean vanilla entity hit replica values?

[stark kestrel]

😭 yes

Cheers

[sleek grove]

Why when I run player.playSound while in camera does it not work.

is it still locational if I just have player.playSound(sound)?

[distant tulip]

sound play at the player location but sound are heard from the camera location

wait, player.playSound should do that

[cinder shadow]

entity.kill() 😈

[warm mason]

entity.getComponent('health').setCurrentValue(0) 😈😈

[cinder shadow]

can't set it to negative values anymore

or 0

[warm mason]

breh

[cinder shadow]

I don't make the rules

[warm mason]

I need to test this.

[sleek grove]

Doesn't seem to be. I've debugged it and it all seems fine it's just not working could it be due to server load that it wouldn't work?

[cinder shadow]

yeah, unfortunately sounds have to be played from the camera location

[warm mason]

Your information is incorrect

[sleek grove]

So if a camera is moving a sound can't move with it

bruh

[cinder shadow]

Sounds have never been able to move with the player aside from whatever biome music is doing

try defining the sound as music instead, that might work

[sleek grove]

But there are ways to do non-locational sounds right?

okay ill try that

[cinder shadow]

That's weird considering they recently made it so you can't set the values to anything greater than the max value

[warm mason]

I think the way it works is that it just gets you close to the edge and 0 is in range so you can kill an entity that way

[sleek grove]

nah didn't work

[spice finch]

Does anyone have an addon that lets items stack past 64 on the ground? Thought I should ask before I go reinventing something

Mainly for lag preventative reasons

[livid elk]

is it possible to get the item damage value?

[shut junco]

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

[shut junco]

dont think that is posible

[spice finch]

Hmm. I know I could get it to work with players picking it up, but getting hoppers and things like that to work is a struggle

[livid elk]

i mean the attack damage

[wary edge]

Not possible.

[livid elk]

okay, thanks!

[shut junco]

you can't directly change max stack sizes in scripts but you might be able to do something jank I huess

[cinder shadow]

What do you need it for? There may be alternatives

[livid elk]

for my custom crit damage, but i already found another way, i made a list of my custom weapons with their damage values and used it for my crit damage logic

[warped blaze]

I'm concerned about why we don't have access to something basic as the item damage component yet

[wary edge]

Priority.

Whar use case do you have?

[warped blaze]

I don't have one, but there will be people who need it at some point

[wary edge]

At some point yes, but right now I don't see anyone advocating that it's a must thus it's not a priority.

[silver agate]

Can I define more than one ““function”” on custom components? Like, I can define a component with onStepOn and onEntityFallOn?

[silver agate]

(I called it as ‘function’ bcs I idk how it is called lol. Ik it’s not a function)

[wary edge]

Yes.

[silver agate]

Nice

Also, how can I detect if the block has an optional param(it won’t be on every block with this component)?

if (params.(my_param)) {
…
}```
^
Like this?

[buoyant canopy]

onUse(event, {parms}) {
  if (my_param in params) ...
}```

[subtle cove]

world.setDynamicProperty(entity.id, total amount)
get dynamicProperty on entity remove to dupe the stack by the total amount

[spice finch]

yeah, that's what I was thinking, but it doesn't really work with hoppers which I still want to be able to use

[subtle cove]

Hrmmm indeed

[sterile epoch]

do you remove dynamic properties with null or undefined? someone said a while back undefined still keeps it stored

[subtle cove]

setDynamicProperty('prop')

[sterile epoch]

ye I know it's optional but I like doing null / undefined so it makes intent clearer

[thorn flicker]

yeah you can just leave it empty

[thorn flicker]

undefined

[subtle cove]

Make a wrapper out of it, ig...

[sterile epoch]

undefined actually deletes it?

[thorn flicker]

yes

[sterile epoch]

alr

[night acorn]

does anyone know how to get the biome at a location? theres no func in stable, but there is dimension.getBiome() but my game keeps saying it doesnt exist (im on 1.21.101, using script api 2.2.0-beta). i even went as far as to use the alpha version but its just gaslighting me at this point

[thorn flicker]

thats in preview.

[night acorn]

ohh

i need to install preview

grate

[thorn flicker]

there's findClosestBiome but it takes time to complete

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.2.0-beta.1.21.100-stable/classes/Dimension.html#findclosestbiome

[night acorn]

pretty sure findClosestBiome searches for a specific biomes location, not the biome at a location

[thorn flicker]

I know what it does

people have used it for this though.

however, I dont recommend it

[night acorn]

essentially im making a heat system:

export function getSurfaceCondition(player) {
    let heat = 5;
    let weather = sv.world.getDynamicProperty(consts.DPK_WEATHER);
    if (weather == null) weather == "Clear";
    let biome = player.dimension.getBiome(player.location).id;

    if (weather == "Rain") heat--;
    if (weather == "Thunder") heat--;
    if (!isDay()) heat--;

    if (biome.includes("desert")) heat++;
    if (biome.includes("frozen") || biome.includes("ice")) heat--;
    if (biome.includes("jungle")) heat--;
    if (biome.includes("cave")) heat--;
    if (biome.includes("ocean")) heat--;

    if (biome == "hell") heat = 10;

    return HEATLEVELS[heat];
}

and it should be colder in caves oceans and frozen places

[thorn flicker]

yeah ive made a temp system too, just not with numbers.

first thing I did when getBiome dropped in preview

[night acorn]

oh i just have an array that turns it into a string

const HEATLEVELS = [
    "§b§lFrigid",  // 0
    "§bFrosty",    // 1
    "§9Chilly",    // 2
    "§3Cold",      // 3
    "§2Neutral",   // 4
    "§6Warm",      // 5
    "§6Hot",       // 6
    "§eBoiling",   // 7
    "§cSearing",   // 8
    "§4Furnace",   // 9
    "§4§lHELL"     // 10
]

[thorn flicker]

I have 4 types

hot, warm, cold, freezing

[night acorn]

simple

functional

[thorn flicker]

I like simple

[night acorn]

im making a mod where the sun hurts you

the hotter it is, the more damage it does

so you have to stay under shade

or underground or wear helmets that degrade

[thorn flicker]

so what, a vampire addon?

[night acorn]

i guess

just without any bloodsucking

or bats

[thorn flicker]

lol

cool, I just created a system, its not part of anything yet

ill think of something

[night acorn]

i got the heat system working

it shows whenever its the first time surfacing that day

[solar dagger]

is there a way to change the player's seat position through script?

[halcyon phoenix]

how do you make a wrapper?

[warped blaze]

not afaik

[solar dagger]

im using component groups unfortunately...

[stuck ibex]

How does this work?

world.afterEvents.itemReleaseUse.subscribe((data) => {
  console.warn(data.useDuration / 20 / 60);
})

I can't seem to get it to format into seconds

[wary edge]

Why are you dividing by 60?

[stuck ibex]

I assumed it is on miliseconds, it is not though

wait isn't it suppose to be 1000

[unique acorn]

its in ticks

20 ticks = 1 second

I don't think script api uses miliseconds anywhere

[stuck ibex]

It's returning arbitrary numbers, but nevermind, I was going to track how charged the arrow is but I'll just use the velocity of the arrow

[subtle cove]

basically categorizing functions/methods/snippets in simple ones so it's faster to understand the logic of the code

[prisma shard]

no

[prisma shard]

In the .setDynamicProperty() function, trying to set undefined doesn't actually remove the value. It works and actually removes the Key, only when, setting it to null OR you can just leave the parameter and don't fill it up, like world.setDynamicProperty("key") and the value will be deleted.

[prisma shard]

in Date.now ...

[thorn flicker]

cool

[unique acorn]

-# that's a javascript function not script api one.

[prisma shard]

xdxd

[distant tulip]

actually, no it does remove it

[prisma shard]

I was got this info by a friend

[distant tulip]

you can confirm with nbt

[prisma shard]

I need to confirm that

[woven loom]

Whats going on

[thorn flicker]

so you didnt confirm it yourself

[prisma shard]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

how about you go do that

[prisma shard]

Let's ask him

Alr..

[thorn flicker]

im curious

[distant tulip]

discussing if setting dp to undefined remove the property

[woven loom]

Oh

[thorn flicker]

since you are scripting leader you should know right /j

[prisma shard]

xd fr

[distant tulip]

the doc itself says undefined remove it
it doesn't

[prisma shard]

hmm lets check the changelogs

Update 1.21.40

• Removed function removeDynamicProperty - Please use setDynamicProperty with a value of undefined to remove a property

Yeah, I'm sorry guys

I was wrong, I wanna test though with a NBT editor, It's interesting

[thorn flicker]

better to do these things before correcting someone

[thorn flicker]

so both work

[distant tulip]

yeah, even
p.setDynamicProperty('test3')

[thorn flicker]

yeah.

[woven loom]

Can we spawn simulated players directly in the stable version?

[thorn flicker]

using the same logic I should've confirmed myself before answering, because clearly I needed clarification as well.

[halcyon phoenix]

like OOP?

[thorn flicker]

thanks for checking.

[distant tulip]

np

[subtle cove]

more likely, yeah

[distant tulip]

@woven loom not yet

[thorn flicker]

wait so you no longer need a structure block or whatever

[distant tulip]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

I might use this now

[distant tulip]

same

[hazy nebula]

is there anyway to teleport a entity to player location and follow player direction view?

stable api or beta api

[thorn flicker]

entity.teleport(player.location, {facingLocation: player.getViewDirection()})

or if you mean make them face towards the player, just change facingLocation to the player's location.

this is stable.

[distant tulip]

that will make the entity look at 0 0 (near it) sense getViewDirection() return a normalized vector of the length 1
facingLocation: look at this place in the world

[hazy nebula]

Entity does not follow the player's view

[thorn flicker]

so just use rotation instead, and get the player's rotation.

[thorn flicker]

wdym by this

make the entity look where the player is looking?

[hazy nebula]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

you have to spam the method.

it wont magically follow after 1 teleport.

entity.teleport(player.location, {rotation: player.getRotation()})

ofc this will make the entity unable to move

[hazy nebula]

thask

[proper pumice]

is it possible to spawn a block break particle with a chosen texture?

or it'll be better to create a custom emiter that mimics that behavior instead?

[woven loom]

Nope afaik

[livid elk]

what are you using for this?

[distant tulip]

MCC Tool Chest PE

[woven loom]

U can also use old Universal Minecraft Editor

[livid elk]

okay, thanks!

[lucid dust]

how do i get a 2nd script file to run that's not the main.js?

[unique acorn]

make the file then put this in your main.js
import './fileName.js'
also you need to restart your world for it to work

[lucid dust]

ty

wait u don't need to restart ur world?

[unique acorn]

you do

well idk, before you didn't need to now you need to?

[lucid dust]

no but i meant u said u need to restart ur world which implies that sometimes u don't need to

[lucid dust]

it says "import not found"

[unique acorn]

do /reload all in chat or simply exit the world and rejoin it

you have to do this everytime you create a new file

Is it possible to fetch the texture of a block using scripts?
Is the texture of an item/block accessible via script?

[warm mason]

no

[wary edge]

No.

[umbral dune]

hmmmmm thx :]

[round bone]

Closest thing you can do it by using prebuilds, but it depends what do you mean by a texture

A path to a texture, or blob of a texture?

a blob

[round bone]

Not possible then

Consider using BDS loaders like Endstone or LeviMC then

[umbral dune]

Have custom biomes arrived in the stable version yet?

I didn't pay much attention

[round bone]

Yes.

They were added in 1.21.80 or 1.21.90, I might be incorrect; but still, it's 1.21.100 already.

[umbral dune]

ok thx :)

[round bone]

No problem.

[umbral dune]

How to know the recipe of an item via script? Especially items from other add-ons

[unique acorn]

you can't

[umbral dune]

I was waiting for an answer like that.

thx

any news about tile entities?

[warm mason]

hm?

[umbral dune]

you know, the thing that containers like chests and furnaces are

last time I checked we didn't have support for this

[warm mason]

ah, you mean something like a custom chest? If yes, there are still no improvements in this direction :/

[round bone]

You can get a block to get their container?

[granite cape]

🛌

[wary edge]

New preview btw.

[round bone]

And we have to wait for 2 months to use it in stable Minecraft.

[umbral dune]

Is it possible to keep a chuck updated via script?

[distant tulip]

No cross posting please

[coral ermine]

why player.playSound() never works for me? No errors but still doesn’t play the sound

[warm mason]

show code

@merry cove

[lavish surge]

Have you tried using player.playMusic?

[north frigate]

is there a way to have multiple threads in the Script API?

[warm mason]

huh?

[north frigate]

It's like telling Mojang to not go against their own terms of service

[round bone]

Closest thing you can achieve is by using async and jobs.

[umbral dune]

CPU threads

[warm mason]

this cannot be configured

[umbral dune]

I'm sure the user already had a valid answer

-# note: this is a javascript issue, not minecraft

[snow apex]

does anyone know of anywhere i can get a movement detection script? just need a basic one and wondering if there is a resource with a template

[round bone]

Use clustering and multi-instancing inside Script API.

check player velocity

check #1067535712372654091 for template, I doubt it exists

[warped blaze]

so what's the utility for .getBlockStandingOn()?

i mean, isn't it like
Dimension.getBlock(Entity.location).below()?

ig it would be for entites with big hitboxes, that's the reason for .getBlocksStandingOn() afaik

[thorn flicker]

or if you stand between 2 blocks.

also its getAllBlocksStandingOn()

[thorn flicker]

its not

the block will return undefined if you are flying above it when using getBlockStandingOn() unless you are sneaking

and when it comes to paths, using getBlock(Entity.location).below() will return the block under the path.

You could just do {x: pl.x, y: pl.y - 0.1, z: pl.z} instead to fix the path issue.

either way, I rather use the method that tells you when the game recognizes you actually standing on a block.

[short barn]

QQ, are entity custom components a thing yet?

[thorn flicker]

no

[short barn]

Sad times, any update on when it’s coming?

[thorn flicker]

nope

[short barn]

😔, thanks anyway

[halcyon phoenix]

QQ?

[halcyon phoenix]

entityHitEntity isn't even out yet :<

[thorn flicker]

what?

[thorn flicker]

quick question

[halcyon phoenix]

I meant entityHitEntity before event

[thorn flicker]

what does this have to do with entity custom components

[halcyon phoenix]

they are some of the things that alot of us want

[thorn flicker]

entityHurt beforeEvent would be better.

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

but you know boyh would be nice

[distant tulip]

quick question

it has been answered, my bad

[halcyon phoenix]

allgoods

[thorn flicker]

shame on you for not reading my message

[warm mason]

👀

[distant tulip]

discord didn't show the "x new messages" thing

[untold magnet]

ummm, what is this used for exactly? PlayerSwingEventOptions

detecting when the player swing its arms?

[warm mason]

left click detection I guess

[untold magnet]

Added class PlayerSwingStartAfterEvent to beta. This contains information regarding a player starting to swing their arm

[distant tulip]

it detect every swing, left or right click, it doesn't matter

[untold magnet]

Added class PlayerSwingStartAfterEventSignal to beta. This event is fired at the start of a player's swing (e.g. attacking, using an item, interacting). It can be subscribed/unsubscribed via world.afterEvents.playerSwingStart and optionally filtered by passing in PlayerSwingEventOptions.

jeez, thats extremely useful, that will make my ||""""""|| addon way better

[woven loom]

how to filter left

[distant tulip]

filter out using other events, player interact with block, player place block and so on

[junior shadow]

Only thing I could think of was for more exact timing with combat type addons. Curious to see how it gets used and why

[alpine ibex]

Ty

[livid elk]

is there a way to stop player from sprinting?

[warm mason]

yes..

[livid elk]

how?

[warm mason]

Well, in theory you need to change the value of movement component

player.getComponent('movement').setCurrentValue(1);

but you need to calculate the speed yourself, which will be without sprinting

[narrow lintel]

Hello, can someone tell me how to scale player at 0.01 when it riding any mob?

[livid elk]

wait, you can change component values, or only for some components?

[warm mason]

as i remember sprint gives +20% to speed so... try ```js
const movement = player.getComponent('movement');
movement.setCurrentValue(movement.currentValue / 1.2);

[warm mason]

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

[narrow lintel]

@livid elk sir, did you find any method to attach particle in attachables?

[warm mason]

if it is an Attribute component yes. And for some values of other components

[livid elk]

no, i stopped using particles in attachables

[narrow lintel]

Oooo 😔

[narrow lintel]

Please help 🙏

[woven loom]

try scale component

[narrow lintel]

I tried but it's not working 😭

[woven loom]

other vvalues woeking fine ?

[narrow lintel]

Not catching the event and scale

[distant tulip]

You don't need to calculate anything, just log the current value when not sprinting and re use that

[warm mason]

the formula is not so complicated that you have to choose the option where you need to save something + it does not take into account the speed changes during the sprint

[distant tulip]

Why do yon need to take into account the sprinting speed when you are disabling it

[warm mason]

and if after sprint starts, the player gets speed effect? hm? dividing by 1.2 seems like an easier solution

[distant tulip]

That just slow the player down even with speed effects

[warm mason]

do we need something else? Your version would do the same thing

[distant tulip]

No, i know my version does the same.
If speed effects is that important you will have to figure out the formula the player speed increase when speed effect increases

Hopefully it is lineare

[warm mason]

Well, we need to see how it will work. For example, I have the speed set every tick taking into account the effects, sprint + my additional modifiers

[livid elk]

how can i detect if the player move left/right? like if the player moves right - run something, if left - run something

[warm mason]

system.runInterval + player.inputInfo

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

const vector = player.inputInfo.getMovementVector();

[livid elk]

thanks

[rigid torrent]

Can I check when a player opens and closes an entity inventory?

[subtle cove]

bp animation, maybe

theres no script-api method for it iirc

[rigid torrent]

Oof

[cinder shadow]

wouldn't that just be interactWithEntity?

[subtle cove]

then spam a form for when player closed the inventory ui...

its good approach, but it has its bugs. the choice is on the scripter

[rigid torrent]

I'm testing this method

I think the inventory closes the form

[cinder shadow]

is it a vanilla entity? or a custom entity

[rigid torrent]

Custom entity

[cinder shadow]

Why can't you use the interactWith event then?

[rigid torrent]

How can I test when the inventory is closed after the first interaction with that?

[cinder shadow]

good point. We don't have a player.isInUi option lol

you could check for the player not moving, but that might not be great

I have an idea, let me try something

[rigid torrent]

WhAt iF tHe PlAyEr iS iN mOvInG wAtEr

lol

[rigid torrent]

Okay let me know!

Testing the form method, but is not working as I wish

[cinder shadow]

I have a moment to test my idea hold on

unfortunate

these were finger crossed copium tests

I tried checking whether the player input controls are disabled when going into a ui and whether the hud ui elements are changed to true for onScreenDisplay.isForcedHidden();

unfortunately neither of these are effected when going into ui or doing anything else

[rigid torrent]

oof

And the form method won't work neither

I think the best bet is the movement

[cinder shadow]

it depends on what you're using it for

[distant tulip]

not script api but there is an entity filter

has_container_open

[cinder shadow]

yeah, there's literally the is_in_ui thing isn't there?

oh

[rigid torrent]

what

[distant tulip]

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

[cinder shadow]

I have one more thing to check

[open urchin]

isn't that for when the client entity is rendered in a ui

[distant tulip]

it is

[cinder shadow]

darn

Yeah I think you either have to do that or check for player movement

Tried to see if I could "open" a form for the player and just have it returned as true/false

it did not work

[rigid torrent]

yeah no it doesnt work

trying the container thing now

[distant tulip]

that possible, but you will have to call closeAllForms after

[cinder shadow]

Yeah but it's not going to return a true or false

it's just always going to open up

[distant tulip]

you can use useBusy to confirm it didn't open, and if it did open close it
not the best thing tho

[untold magnet]

hmmm,

@distant tulip u great at math?
tryin' to make a temperature system, but apparently it requires alot of math for some reason,

[distant tulip]

i wouldn't say great but i am alright

[cinder shadow]

chatGPT is really good at math

sometimes

[distant tulip]

if you know what to ask and how to ask

[rigid torrent]

and when to ask

because is down

is appeared on my instagram for some reason

[distant tulip]

it is not

[rigid torrent]

not for everyoe i assume

[untold magnet]

nah my math is just built different, chatGPT cant handle it
-# bec i already tried, the answer was somehow more stupid than my question

[rigid torrent]

I am running the event 3 seconds after interaction with the entity, this is the event:

"kai:poll_container": {
                "sequence": [
                    {
                        "filters": {
                            "test": "has_container_open",
                            "subject": "player",
                            "operator": "equals",
                            "value": true
                        },
                        "sequence": [
                            { "set_property": { "kai:open": true } },
                            { "queue_command": { "command": ["playanimation @s open", "say open"] } }
                        ]
                    },
                    {
                        "filters": {
                            "test": "has_container_open",
                            "subject": "player",
                            "operator": "equals",
                            "value": false
                        },
                        "queue_command": {
                            "command": ["say closed"]
                        },
                        "trigger": {
                            "event": "kai:chest_close",
                            "target": "self"
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }

And even though the event is being ran successfully(console warns says), the debug say commands are not triggered. Any ideas?

Script:

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

const POLL_EVENT = "kai:poll_container";

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
    const { player, target } = event;

    if (target.typeId === "kai:dead_chest") {
        console.warn(`${player.name} interacted with a chest. Event will trigger in 3 seconds.`);

        system.runTimeout(() => {
            try {
                target.triggerEvent(POLL_EVENT);
                console.warn(`Event '${POLL_EVENT}' triggered on ${target.id} after delay.`);
            } catch (error) {
                console.error("Failed to trigger event due to a script error.", error);
            }
        }, 60);
    }
});

[wary edge]

What is the debug command?

[rigid torrent]

say open and say closed

[wary edge]

Ah Wait hang on. You're trying to make a pseudo chest yeah?

[rigid torrent]

Yeah

[wary edge]

I didn't have the closing animation but

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((eventData) => {
    if (eventData.target.typeId != 'toycat:fake_chest') return;

    system.run(() => {
        eventData.target.playAnimation('animation.fake_chest.open');
        system.runTimeout(() => {
            eventData.target.playAnimation('animation.fake_chest.close');
        }, 100);
    });
});
``` I had this.

[rigid torrent]

But that will make it close after 5 seconds no?

Ideally I wanted it to close after the container was closed

[untold magnet]

it will

[untold magnet]

i dont think u can do that using scripts directly, but there must be a workaround somehow somewhere sometime

[untold magnet]

does the "kai:chest_close" event "set_property": { "kai:open": false }?

[rigid torrent]

yeah

[untold magnet]

i thought u are missing that, anyways

[wary edge]

Ah I see it now. I reckon the event is being triggered way before it detects if you have the container open.

[rigid torrent]

I tried doing it even after 15 seconds but nothing

I feel like the problem is on the event

And even though, if it checks it before it should say in chat the word closes

[untold magnet]

yeah the script are fine

[wary edge]

Ah ok I see it now, I believe the issue is the subject player.

Try putting that check inside the interact component instead.

[rigid torrent]

I'm not using the interact component, if I do, I would need to interact twice with the chest for it to open the inventory

[untold magnet]

btw, "minecraft:timer":{"time":0,"looping":true} will cause lag right? like it will work the same as onTIck for blocks?

[rigid torrent]

Yes

I also did tried running the event through timer and is not saying none of the say commands

[untold magnet]

what about triggering an entity event using scripts? 20x per second

will it has the same lag as the timer?

[rigid torrent]

I think whathever problem is on the event needs to be fixed first

[untold magnet]

hmmm

[wary edge]

What why?

[rigid torrent]

I'm not sure of why

I just know it happens

[wary edge]

Youre approaching this wrong Kai.

[rigid torrent]

Did you read the last part?

[wary edge]

Use the interact component to set the property to true and play animation and use entity sensor to close itself.

[untold magnet]

try using environment_sensor for the filter (has_container_open) and make it triggering the events that will run the commands

[untold magnet]

that would work too

[untold magnet]

like:

            "minecraft:environment_sensor":{
                "triggers":[
                    {
                        "filters":{
                            "test":"has_container_open",
                            "subject":"player",
                            "operator":"==",
                            "value":true
                        },
                        "event":"open:event"
                    }
                ]
            },

that might keep spamming the commands tho, so u only need it for the close thing

[rigid torrent]

Using the minecraft:interact component makes the inventory not open till second interaction, so is not a feasible option.

Regarding the entity sensor, I tried this:

"minecraft:entity_sensor": {
                "subsensors": [
                    {
                        "event_filters": {
                            "test": "has_container_open",
                            "subject": "player",
                            "operator": "equals",
                            "value": false
                        },
                        "event": "kai:chest_close"
                    }
                ]
            }

And nothing happens.

[wary edge]

You need others not player.

Check the piglin code.

[rigid torrent]

I made it! Thanks

Works perfectly

Still, dont use minecraft:interact + minecraft:inventory

Requires double interact

[untold magnet]

at least for a good reason?

[rigid torrent]

No idea at all

I just replaced interact with a script, way better

[untold magnet]

if it works, it works.

anyways, d u have any suggestions about how am i going to make a temperature system?

cuz idk from where i should start,

[rigid torrent]

Do you already know how you want it to work?

[untold magnet]

yeah, hot biomes will increase the player temperature, cold biomes will decrease it,
light armor (leather, chain) will make u cooler
heavy armor (iron, gold, etc) will make u hotter
heavy armor with fire resistance will make u feel somewhere cooler, depending on the enchantment level

and standing nearby lava/fire/magma will increase the temperature,
standing inside water will decrease the temperature

hot biomes are hot during daytime and cold during nighttime,

overall, complicated asf, and im completely lost idk from where i should start

[rigid torrent]

I think a script for checking player surroundings would be a good start

[subtle cove]

Yo how can I display a scoreboard on sidebar

[untold magnet]

is there an efficient way to detect the armor enchantments without using loops? or i just have to get 4 itemStacks and try getting the enchantments for each part?

[rigid torrent]

Unfortunately not, afaik

[untold magnet]

then ill use 4 itemStakcs for each part, and get the enchantments of each one

afaik, loops will slow the interval at somepoint, so im trying to avoid using it

• i already have to detect each part individually so i can do better math

[umbral dune]

Excuse me, how are you getting the enchantments so far?

[untold magnet]

const helmetEnchantments = Helmet?.getComponent('minecraft:enchantable')?.getEnchantment(enchantmentType)?.level;

I am just trying to grasp something in the coding thing in js script cause the structure thing is kinda i guess a bad thing

it is

because you are subscribing to an event listener multiple times when you do not need to.

the only really bad thing was using switch for one case switch
just use if statement. also you are repeating codes a lot

[thorn flicker]

yeah you gotta use setVector3

so viewDir....

[warm mason]

also, you don't need to add variable to the name

straight to setDynamicProperty is more accurate

[stuck ibex]

Hey @shy leaf, thought that you're the right person to ask-have you made a custom damage system for projectiles before?

[halcyon phoenix]

I do not understand this at all, what does this do?

[round bone]

Creates a set of unique item identifiers that can have dynamic properties.

[shy leaf]

custom damage system, yeah, but not for projectiles

[stuck ibex]

Okay that works, just wondering other than weapon base damage, enchant, player effects, and critical damage what else factors that can affect player's damage?

[shy leaf]

iframes

its quite complicated

[stuck ibex]

Okay, it is not a searchable term. Can you elaborate more?

[shy leaf]

ill get back to you in a few minutes

[stuck ibex]

Okay nice, no rush

[shy leaf]

can you tell me what youre doing btw

just wondering

[stuck ibex]

Basically rebuilding vanilla damage system but combining my own stuff

[shy leaf]

i see

[shy leaf]

so basically, when an entity takes damage, theres a short period (500ms) where theyre immune to damage

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Damage#Invulnerability_timer

you can refer to the wiki, though its slightly different in bedrock edition (and its somehow not noted in the page)

[stuck ibex]

Okay nice thanks, although, referring to what you said earlier, this seems it will only need some runTimeouts before dealing damage. Am I missing something?

[shy leaf]

nah, runTimeout is not reliable for this

for whatever reason, script environment doesnt 100% sync with ingame environment

especially when it comes to ticks/time

[stuck ibex]

So I need to use realtime?

[shy leaf]

thats even worse

instead, try storing currentTick in the entity whether by writing in memory or DP

and then compare ticks

[shy leaf]

oh wait

now that i think about it

if youre using applyDamage for this, it probably doesnt matter

[stuck ibex]

Yeah I am using that

[shy leaf]

yeah i think it doesnt matter

soz

you said youre recreating vanilla combat, right?

[stuck ibex]

Yeah

but with custom stuff

[shy leaf]

i see

[shy leaf]

then yeah, those should be everything

[stuck ibex]

Okay thanks for the advice. Although dealing with another problem with projectiles because there isn't beforeEvent for projectileHit 😬 Mojang when 🙏

[shy leaf]

😔

[subtle cove]

Can't u use projectileComponent.owner on spawn...

[stuck ibex]

Hm?

this is what I was talking about: https://discordapp.com/channels/523663022053392405/1354973333216563200/1408089071678521517

[subtle cove]

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

U can modify the projectile before it hits anything

There's only a few properties tho

[stuck ibex]

Can I get the ItemStack though? I want to get the enchants of the projectile before it is thrown. No problems with arrows as they don't get removed unlike tridents

[subtle cove]

I don't think it has access to item, so u gota make a map for it ig

[stuck ibex]

Okay interesting, how would that work though? What would I store?

[wary edge]

I would use itemstartuse to track the trident being charged.

I used that to track bows.

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.3.0-beta.1.21.110-preview.25/classes/PlayerInventoryItemChangeAfterEvent.html

You can also use this, though not sure how accurate it be, you probably need to trigger both events.

[stuck ibex]

Oh wait yeah, gosh, thank you, this will surely work

[untold magnet]

umm, is it possible to setLore for items? or i have to spawn a new item and then use setLore on it?

[distant tulip]

You can

[untold magnet]

just itemStack?.setLore(['test']);?

bec this Boots?.setLore(['Test']); doesnt work (setting lore for specific boots)

[distant tulip]

Yeah, and give the player/container the item back

[untold magnet]

ohh i see

[untold magnet]

its not possible to setLore above the item enchantments right?

[distant tulip]

Nope

[untold magnet]

changing the item name and use \n will make lore-like string under the item name, but it will be visible always, right?

-# making sure.

[distant tulip]

Yeah but players can change the name

[untold magnet]

then ill stick with setLore

[untold magnet]

what if i check if the name doesnt have my strings so it will automatically add them back?

meh, it will make the naming thing messy

[distant tulip]

Players shouldn't have to deal with that

[silver agate]

This script is nothing working. Does absolutely nothing. I suspect it is the is_shifting…

[small cloak]

Can you even get an entity's collision box? I can't find anything in the docs.

[wary edge]

Nope.

[sharp elbow]

Not directly, but technically you can.

Find a fixed point offset from the entity, then cast an axis-aligned ray towards the entity. The hitbox width is approximately offset - distance

Similar deal with the height; find a fixed vertical offset from the entity, then cast a ray downward.

You may want to fiddle with the difference some, I think it can be 0.1 meters off

You may find this interesting @small cloak @wary edge

[subtle cove]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1384821722540146708

[umbral dune]

I wish add-ons had more freedom with what they can do.

[wary edge]

That can work, though for a sue case of mine for [REDACTED] that would not have worked as our entity used custom hit test and raycast doesnt detect that.

[small cloak]

Thanks. I was thinking about doing that, but I wasn't sure if it would work.

[sharp elbow]

I suppose it wouldn't. Then again, hurt boxes and collision boxes are different.

[small cloak]

I just wish there was a better way to do this. Doing a couple raycasts is a bit jank.

[wary edge]

Allegedly, the mob spawning experiment comes with an api to get an entitys aabb. Allegedly.

[small cloak]

There's a mob spawning experiment?

[wary edge]

Eventually.

Theres been a qna where they want to rework the mob spawning and whrn v2 first released there were a bunch of scripting stuff related to mob spawning.

This could just be a copy/paste from Java, but, could the mob spawning experiments finally introduce Zombie Reinforcements to #Minecraft Bedrock?

We might also be able to register Spawn Rules via the Script API maybe?

Interesting.

I guess I'll just have to deal with raycasts for now.

I had to make my own AABB class too because BlockBoundingBox didn't work as expected.

[chrome gyro]

Is there a way to do a forEach after using getBlocks for a volume area?

[cinder shadow]

anyone remember what hte difference between healthComponent.defaultValue and .effectiveMax were?

[cinder shadow]

assuming it just gives you an array of block locations, you should just be able to do

for(const location of locations) {const block = dimension.getBlock(location)}``` ?

[thorn flicker]

close, it returns a blockVolume, and then you need to use getBlockLocationIterator()

[cinder shadow]

yeah, I think everytime I've looked at it I straight up avoided using that call because it just looked like a convoluted mess

[chrome gyro]

        const blocks = player.dimension.getBlocks( area, { includeTypes: [ `cnb_inb:essence_block` ] })
        console.error(blocks.location)
        if (blocks == undefined) return;
            blocks.forEach((block) => {
                const loc = block.location
                player.runCommandAsync(`fill ${loc.x} ${loc.y} ${loc.z} ${loc.x} ${loc.y} ${loc.z} cnb_inb:essence_block["cnb_inb:invis"= 2]`)
            });

Here's what I have so far if it helps.

[thorn flicker]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.1.0/classes/BlockVolume.html#getBlockLocationIterator

[chrome gyro]

Oh ok I'll look up how to use that one.

[thorn flicker]

    const blocks = dimension.getBlocks(area, { includeTypes: [ `cnb_inb:essence_block` ] })

    for (const location of blocks.getBlockLocationIterator()) {
        const block = dimension.getBlock(location)
    }

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.18.0/index.html

[distant tulip]

" %your.translation.key"
space or something is needed before %

[subtle cove]

if u dont mind me asking, why u need that module? nvm

[stuck ibex]

that works?

[distant tulip]

was, not sure if it still do

[warped blaze]

i thought it didn't work, why is the space before % needed

[buoyant canopy]

really? i will try it right now

[warped blaze]

could u please tell me if it works?

[buoyant canopy]

@warped blaze @distant tulip It works!

[warped blaze]

nice

[buoyant canopy]

It adds a little awkward whitespace before the command description tho

[warped blaze]

maybe try
"§r%key"

minato said "space or something is needed"

[buoyant canopy]

That's the same thing i thought about

it worked, i added §.

[buoyant canopy]

§r makes the description non italic

[subtle cove]

so u can font-format the translated key there...

[warped blaze]

§o?

[buoyant canopy]

§. works fine

[buoyant canopy]

how do you know about this? what else do you know about?

[distant tulip]

[steep hamlet]

whats the difference between usingblock.setPermuation(block.permutation.withState()) and using BlockPermutation.resolve()

[subtle cove]

current.with & default.resolve

[steep hamlet]

ohh

it makes sense the first one didnt work on permutationToPlace in beforeOnPlayerPlace

thanks

[strong oar]

i am having the same concerns, thanks for that answer

[silver agate]

Ok, ty

[subtle cove]

have u ever tried ```js
const prm = data.permutationToPlace;
data.permutationToPlace = prm.withState("cs:variant", false);

[steep hamlet]

i didt but now i see my mistake was the **block.**permutation

e.permutationToPlace = block.permutation.withState(
   "custom_vine:hanging", true
);

your variant works fine though :D

[subtle cove]

thats great then

[strong oar]

May I ask because I also have the same topic (super duper identical)

[subtle cove]

just ask

if it feels like it'll take super duper long conv, then make a post

[sly valve]

you forgot to add "super duper"

[subtle cove]

fine...

[sly valve]

Good M9

[subtle cove]

should that behave like tall grass, vines, pillar or what?

[strong oar]

like tall grass

[subtle cove]

onPlayerBreak could work, but not when the block gets moved/destroyed by piston/explosion

[strong oar]

i tried to use it before but nothing happens still the same, maybe because it is for 2.0.0? Because i am using 1.18.0 module version

[subtle cove]

onPlayerDestroy

this one's from 1.18.0

[strong oar]

where can i do this type of thing, so that i can figure it out for myself if you dont mind.

[strong oar]

in vs code?

[subtle cove]

add a package.json file containing {}

[strong oar]

thanks I am going, to try it out

[subtle cove]

then choose any package

[silver agate]

That seems to work, but content log now says this:

[lapis heart]

use system.run

[cinder shadow]

Has anyone ever ran into an issue where when the player alive, it's meant to do one thing, and when the player dies, it's meant to stop that thing, but instead of stopping that thing, it pauses it until the player has respawned?

I have a stamina system that only drains stamina when the player is sprinting, when the player dies, it should stop. However, it pauses it entirely and the second the player respawns it drains their stamina. What's even weirder is that whether this happens or not depends on the time that the player had paused their game or not. Pausing the game and unpausing affects all of the tick intervals and can throw them off.

if (player.isSprinting && !player.isGliding && !player.__staminaDraining && currentHealth > 0) {
        if (currentStamina > 0) {
            player.__staminaDraining = true;
            world.sendMessage(`${player.__staminaDraining} ${currentHealth} ${player.isSprinting}`)
            drainStamina(player, currentStamina, staminaDrainAmount);
            system.runTimeout(() => {
                player.__staminaDraining = false
            }, 5);
            player.__staminaGainTimer = 20;
        }
        else {
            player.addEffect('slowness', 60, { showParticles: false, amplifier: 1 });
        }

Btw guys, did setProperty change in 2.0.0 or something?

I am asking this because for some reason it doesn't work correctly

For some reason this increases its value

var final = (open_count - 1)
garage_door[i].setProperty("bd:open_count", final)

Meanwhile, this decreases it

var final = (open_count + 1)
garage_door[i].setProperty("bd:open_count", final)

(One is minus and the other is plus)

That won't work. There is no way to discern the difference between a player that just died and respawned and a player that didn't

[distant tulip]

on death stop the draining system and resume it when player spawn

[cinder shadow]

Thank you for saying what I'm trying to do

🗿

I think I fixed it, I was trying to avoid making a new property just for this but I needed one

It's hard to tell if I actually fixed it though since it's being caused by whatever pausing the game does to interval timers

[distant tulip]

why do you need property for that

[cinder shadow]

to disable it

I can't use health directly, because it pauses whatever is running and resumes it when the player spawns

so I have to set a property when health is 0 so when it runs back through when the player spawns it checks that and just exits

[distant tulip]

dynamic property?

[cinder shadow]

no, just doing player.__disabledStaminaDrain or whatever

temp

[distant tulip]

ah, alright
i thought you meant entity property

[cinder shadow]

I try to avoid entity properties since they're so limited

We don't have any limits on dynamic properties right?

[round bone]

You want to stop code after player dies and resume it on his spawn?

[cinder shadow]

there we go, finally got the weird interval timing difference from pausing/unpausing so it would trigger

fixed it with the temp property

while riding an entity and both jump and dismount are disabled playerButtonInput event trigger for jump but not for sneak, any work around?

[viscid horizon]

can i get the entity that’s doing the raycast instead of the entity getting detected by one or am i stupid

nevermind i just used the player

in a function that was in it

[hazy nebula]

execute in scripts uses old version, that's silly

[loud brook]

I am going to lose my mind. Why doesn't setProperty work properly anymore???

[distant tulip]

It work fine for me

[loud brook]

I literally wrote zero in this code, but somehow it sets as one

garage_door[i].setProperty("bd:open_count", 0)

[loud brook]

was setProperty changed somehow after 1.17.0?

[distant tulip]

How are you checking the value

[loud brook]

by console.warn(garagedoor[i].getProperty("bd:open_count"))

And it displays it as one

[distant tulip]

Weird

Send your entity file

[loud brook]

For some reason this increases its value

var final = (open_count - 1)
garage_door[i].setProperty("bd:open_count", final)

Meanwhile, this decreases it

var final = (open_count + 1)
garage_door[i].setProperty("bd:open_count", final)

[loud brook]

the bp one?

sure then

[distant tulip]

Yeah

[wary edge]

Did you wait 1 tick before calling this?

[loud brook]

@distant tulipDid you seem to figure out something? (sorry about the ping)

[loud brook]

I tried system.runTimeout(() => {garage_door[i].setProperty("bd:open_count", 0)}, 20)

which didn't work
