Script API General

[thorn flicker]

lol me suggesting something you already did

means we are both smart

haha

[shy leaf]

it uses IPC made by Omniac

[thorn flicker]

im doing something similar with a project, that has to do with food nutrients

[shy leaf]

which allows people to add stats with behavior packs without directly editing the addon

[thorn flicker]

you can setup nutrient values on food items

[shy leaf]

interesting

[thorn flicker]

custom command?

[shy leaf]

also has it

[thorn flicker]

im using custom commands because I think it'll be way easier to configure that way, so an addon creator can setup a function for their addon to be compatible with my addon

because it were to be in server ui... cant really do that, and commands are easy to understand.

[shy leaf]

i think its doable with server ui

well the readability would be terrible considering the nature of server forms

[thorn flicker]

dynamic properties are not readable from other addons though

there goes my system crumbling down

[shy leaf]

😭

[thorn flicker]

ill figure it out

[shy leaf]

you can try this

[thorn flicker]

idk what this is.

[shy leaf]

https://github.com/OmniacDev/MCBE-IPC

inter-pack communication

but uh

the repo doesnt have docs yet

[thorn flicker]

eh

I rather use my own stuff

[shy leaf]

i see

im just suggesting cuz its quite reliable

[thorn flicker]

im not a professional scripter or anything but it feels nice using things you make

I go insane more but thats fine

[thorn flicker]

I bet it is

[shy leaf]

its a little bit headache to set up tho

had to get a lot of help from omniac

[thorn flicker]

oh wait I know what my idea was

they dont need to access the dynamic properties, they just need to trigger the custom command when my addon is installed

so they either need to make a custom command, or a function, like I said, just to trigger my custom commands.

[shy leaf]

inter-pack communication with custom commands

interesting

[thorn flicker]

and if they cant set that up its not my problem

its not that hard

[shy leaf]

what about scriptevent?

[thorn flicker]

anyway to trigger my command

doesnt matter what

[shy leaf]

well scriptevent can be shared across behavior packs

[thorn flicker]

im looking into a way better to config so its not one item at time, per command

[thorn flicker]

custom commands can be trigger through the runcommand method right?

[shy leaf]

yep

[thorn flicker]

theres no problem then.

[shy leaf]

its an interesting concept tho

we have another way for packs to communicate with each other

and its custom command

[thorn flicker]

and if i ever do release it ill have a tutorial for creators

so yeah

[round bone]

Script events are still the best way.

[nova flame]

anyone know if customcommandregistry has changed in the past 2 updates?

[wary edge]

Not that I know of. What's your issue?

[nova flame]

i made a post about it i cannot fix this no matter what so far nobodys been able to help me

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1411323066947997788

[empty quail]

I don't think it has

[nova flame]

bruh wtf is wrong with this shit

[north frigate]

imagine if Mojang gave us more json ui support in script api

[wary edge]

But why?

[nova flame]

anyone wanna hop in vc?

just to chill

[north frigate]

like get data from ui and send the data to the script api

for example check if your hovering your mouse over a specific button and then the script api gets that and you run stuff accordingly

[nova flame]

hello minato i see u

[distant tulip]

Hello to you too
gtg, lol

[north frigate]

can i steal your pfp

[nova flame]

yes:

[somber onyx]

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(initEvent => {
  initEvent.itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('pm_black_hole:trigger', {
    onUse: e => { e.source.runCommand("function black_hole"); },
  });
});

hey guys, do you have any ideas what doesn't worked

[wary edge]

Its been moved to system.beforeEventd.startup

[nova flame]

shi does work

for me anyway

[somber onyx]

thank you it worked

[round bone]

Imagine if Mojang would force people to use TypeScript...

[woven loom]

i want them to support ts

[round bone]

By them you mean community or Mojang?

[distant tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/steven-he-bruh-steven-hello-breh-gif-22241941

[wary edge]

I would love that honestly.

[distant tulip]

as an option, forcing ts sound like a bad idea

[halcyon phoenix]

I am good enough with vanilla js

[warm condor]

are there any workarounds to obtain an entity's target through scripting?

[fair quarry]

Yo what is the best way to store entity data? I'm trying to make a item that stores an entity, but without losing its data

I will probably use structures

[wary edge]

Not without using beta.

[warm condor]

we decided to go an alternate route that only requires us to detect whether or not it has a target

[slim forum]

while (true) {
  world.getDimension('overworld'). spawnEntity('minecraft:fox', {x: 0, y: 0, z: 0});
}

Consider this a warning

[warm mason]

Just a crasher

[granite cape]

this using clearVelocity method?

[granite cape]

😋

[winged gull]

lol I have made add-ons for that add-on before

[winged gull]

behavior pack animation controller

[distant tulip]

Yes

[winged gull]

structures are the only possible way to do it really

[shy leaf]

ive heard about it but

i actually dont know how it went

[sudden verge]

I'm wondering if there's any way to summon a firework with custom parameters like it's duration, and pattern.
Is this possible?

[chilly fractal]

y'all

i feel like i am gonna go insane

ima make a post

can anyone help me understand the black magic???
https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1411636011318120489

[nova flame]

anyone know any known issues with beforeEvent Startup

[chilly fractal]

no

what are you facing?

[nova flame]

an issue with beforeEvents startup

[chilly fractal]

in what

commands?

enums?

items?

[nova flame]

the beforeEvent

just wont fire

[chilly fractal]

really?

[nova flame]

yes#

[chilly fractal]

did you make a post?

[nova flame]

yes

[shy leaf]

what did you do to confirm that it wont fire?

[chilly fractal]

can i have the link?

[nova flame]

2 days of trying to fix it with help

look in my post

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1411323066947997788

[shy leaf]

@thorn flicker so im testing it right now...

this is weird as hell

its not 20 per breaking block

but its rather inconsistent

simply swinging in air fires the event once

but attacking(??????) or dropping an item fires it two times for me

[distant tulip]

Lot of stuff trigger it twice, fishing and so on

[shy leaf]

one thing thats certain is that the amount of triggers depend on the client's framerate

[distant tulip]

Huh

[shy leaf]

but

i dont know what would happen if the script was ran in a server

[safe stream]

normalising typeids?

[granite cape]

hey

[woven loom]

Hi

[distant tulip]

Hello!

[thorn flicker]

Yo

[chilly fractal]

sup

quick question y'all

do simulated players have a chat function other than .chat?

because it doesn't seem to send anything in the chat.

[round bone]

I don't think so.

[distant tulip]

if not run /say from it

[chilly fractal]

// ...
if (!bot) return print(source, `§cBot §6'${botName}'§c not found.`);
const msg = extra || "Unknown message";
bot.chat(msg);
print(source, `§3Bot §b'${botName}'§3 said: §7${msg}`);
// ...

it tells me that the bot sent the message and no error happens

[chilly fractal]

that's not the issue

i can do:

world.sendMessage(`<${bot.name}> ${msg}`);

but the thing is, this wouldn't fire the chatSend event

does the .chat method fire the chatSend event??
i don't know, but i assume so.

[distant tulip]

try /say 🤷‍♂️

[chilly fractal]

does it trigger chatsend?

oh right

my bad

i'll test

[distant tulip]

alr, sense it is not the same as send message, /say actually make the entity say so

[chilly fractal]

it doesn't trigger chatsend

wait, while i am at it. let me test out the .chat method if it triggers the chatsend event

[chilly fractal]

if you are wondering, this is what i used:

bot.runCommand(`say "${msg}"`);

[chilly fractal]

also no

oh well

i guess world.sendMessage it is.

[distant tulip]

/w @a message?

[chilly fractal]

these won't trigger probably but i'll try

[round bone]

The only thing that triggers ChatSend*Event is SimulatedPlayer.chat

[distant tulip]

.

[chilly fractal]

nope

[distant tulip]

welp

[chilly fractal]

yeah the method is bugged, it legit is supposed to send the message. if it ain't sending anything then chances are, it won't trigger chatsend.

i am just gonna keep it in until moyang decides to fix it

when an admin tells me a bot is sending messages twice i'll remove the world.sendMessage call.

[warm condor]

nope, just a boolean property and two events

[deep quiver]

/say and anything with / is handled differently then a regular chat message

[distant tulip]

Even when it is from chat?

[deep quiver]

Ye

[distant tulip]

That's rude, i was watching

[thorn flicker]

🤖

[subtle cove]

[tame chasm]

Are here some coders? I need help with a custom scoreboard

[chilly fractal]

what is the issue you're facing?

also bruh, i have been typing my whole pack that player id is number | string

apparently it's only string??

[subtle cove]

numerical string

such id is relevant to entity.scoreboardIdentity.displayName

also used on world.getEntity

[nova flame]

if (coins >= cost) {
                removeScore(player, "Coins", cost);
                const itemStack = new ItemStack(chosenItem.id, amount);
                if (chosenItem.customName) itemStack.nameTag = chosenItem.customName;

                inventory.addItem(itemStack);

                player.sendMessage(
                    `§aPurchase Complete! Bought §e${amount} ${chosenItem.name}(s) §afor §e${cost} Coins§a.`
                );
                player.playSound("note.pling", { location: player.location });
            } else {
                player.sendMessage(`§cNot Enough Money! You need §e${cost} Coins§c.`);
                player.playSound("note.bass", { location: player.location });
            }``` how would i go about making this give the ammount of items even if its a non-stackable item

[floral timber]

loop through the amount if it isnt stackable.

[nova flame]

im not good at coding could u please give more in depth or example

[floral timber]

if (!item.isStackable) {
    //loop
} else {
   //add item like  u do
}

[grave halo]

is there any way that i can get the world's seed using js?

[nova flame]

loop?

[nova flame]

?

what do i place within loop

[floral timber]

wait a min

[floral timber]

if (!itemStacck.isStackable) {
    while (amount) {
        inventory.addItem(itemStack)
        amount--
    }
} else {
   inventory.addItem(itemStack)
}

this should do ig.

[nova flame]

this does not work

[prisma shard]

No

[subtle cove]

what makes it not work btw
nvm, gamerfile's suggestion should work, no?

[grave halo]

😔

[distant tulip]

commands support amount for none stackable

[floral timber]

literally M9 had me go through minecraft all over again

[nova flame]

how do i make a command give the ammount (which is not constant)

just with ${amount}?

[nova flame]

no but i mightve used it wrong

[subtle cove]

the last prob lacked the amount

[nova flame]

all i had to do is replace the inventory.addItem(itemStack); with it right

[distant tulip]

`give target id ${amount}`

[subtle cove]

the else part

[nova flame]

so what do i do Eat

[deep quiver]

Do whatever you want

[winged gull]

that is terrible advice

[nova flame]

@winged gullhi crafter

[winged gull]

h i

[north frigate]

i wish the script api was mostly asynchronous

[woven loom]

?

[subtle cove]

export const give = (player, itemStack, amount = 1) => {
    const inv = player.getComponent('inventory').container;
    let leftover;
    const addItem = (amt) => {
        let item = itemStack.clone();
        item.amount = amt;
        if (!leftover) {
            (item = inv.addItem(item)) && (leftover = true);
        }
        item && player.dimension.spawnItem(item, player.location);
    };
    const maxAmount = itemStack.maxAmount;
    if (maxAmount === 1) {
        while (amount-- > 0) {
            addItem(1);
        }
    }
    else if (amount <= maxAmount) addItem(amount);
    else {
        while (amount > maxAmount) {
            addItem(maxAmount);
            amount -= maxAmount;
        }
        if (amount > 0) addItem(amount);
    }
};```use it like```js
const itemStack = new ItemStack(chosenItem.id);
if (chosenItem.customName) itemStack.nameTag = chosenItem.customName;
give(player, itemStack, amount);

[nova flame]

i did it already thanks

[distant tulip]

Read the context

[winged gull]

I did, but that can also be done without a laggy command.

[slow walrus]

my bad lmao i keep forgetting

[warm mason]

._.

[slow walrus]

ill prob do it for the next release

[warm mason]

/**
 * @param {Entity} entity
 * @param {ItemStack | ItemStack[]} items
 */
function giveItem(entity, items) {
    const inv = entity.getComponent('inventory')?.container;
    if (inv == undefined) return;
    if (!Array.isArray(items)) items = [items];

    for (let item of items) {
        if (item == undefined) continue;

        item = inv.addItem(item);
        if (item) try {
            entity.dimension.spawnItem(item, entity.location);
        } catch {}
    } 
}

[runic maple]

Use world.afterEventEntitySpawn

So I need some knowledge on what causes more lag:
I run a bunch of like scoreboard checks for each entity in the world each tick.
If using scripts what lags more in entity.hasTag, scoreboard checks or getting and setting dynamic properties.
Also I heard tags cause lag in commands what about in scripts.

[woven loom]

U can test it urself with profiler

Start profiler try all the meathods few times then stop and view the profiler file in vscodd

[frozen vine]

Is there any difference between onUseon of custom component and playerInteractwithBlock?

[thorn flicker]

you get the swing interaction with onUseOn

and there's the isFirstEvent property for playerInteractWithBlock

which can be used to see if you are holding interaction or not

[frozen vine]

Does onUseOn ignore interactive blocks? For example, anvils, among others? Of course, if the player is not crouched

[thorn flicker]

no

[frozen vine]

Ah, in this case then I should define it manually, I was using playerInteractWithBlock but it executes even when I interact with interactive blocks without being crouched

[runic maple]

Tnx a lot,
That just seemed like a lot of work,and I was hoping someone had already done that

[slender bolt]

Is it possible to remove knockback when getting hit by a projectile?

[runic maple]

I think entity.applyKnockBack({0,0}), after getting hurt should cancel it

[runic maple]

I used another method with date.now() to get the milliseconds for running each stuff 1000 times,
Tags >dynamic properties> scoreboards with scripts to reduce lag

Though I think hasTag takes more ms than removeTag and addTag and to be fair I also had few tags which might have been why they where so low

But it's prolly better to use entity.addTag() than if(entity.hasTag() ) entity.addTag,
But scoreboards eat tps with scripts to summarise

[wise raft]

How can I create a command with a parameter for only one enum entry?

[woven loom]

Using profiler is easy u just need to run the command 2 times

[runic maple]

Ok I'd save that for later,what do you normally use profiler to do BTW?

[lone thistle]

Try clearing velocity when they’re hit.

[deep quiver]

entity.clearVelocity();

[subtle cove]

can it do give(player, new ItemStack('ender_pearl'), 1234)?

[deep quiver]

Wouldnt that throw an out of bounds error

[subtle cove]

would it...

[floral timber]

ahem, the context

read it first

[deep quiver]

Context is hard

Yeah I see lmao

[woven loom]

It gives u the list of things taking longer time

[narrow patio]

Is it possible to get a nametag of a mob like a named nametag thing and set their nametag to smth custom?

[woven loom]

yes

[full idol]

Is it a bug that .runCommand can't use the [] data? /setblock ~ ~ ~ ladder["facing_direction"=0]

[wary edge]

Thats not what it says. Its likely not a the right block state.

[full idol]

I can copy the command it runs and use it fine, but doing it through scripting causes the error and it rejects all [] arguments

[snow knoll]

Has anyone else experienced the inability to use transition in and out of free cameras in the camera command?

[warped blaze]

try replacing "=" with ":"

[full idol]

AWESOME! Thank you!

[open urchin]

that's the old command syntax
you need to update your min_engine_version in your pack manifest

[full idol]

Ahh that makes more sense, I still had it set to 1.20

[warped blaze]

I've read somewhere that the runCommand method uses the old execute syntax, is it true?

[open urchin]

it uses whatever the command syntax was in the min_engine_version you have specified

[round bone]

Yes, you can just use Entity.nameTag property.

[narrow patio]

thanks

[round bone]

You can read it and set.

[broken dagger]

How do I generate structures in specific coordinates as soon as I enter the world? Is it possible?

[fallow minnow]

yeah as long as the area is loaded

[broken dagger]

Hm

[shy leaf]

@pallid stag

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((ev) => {
    const { itemStack, source } = ev;

    const itemId = "minecraft:compass";
    const command = "say this is baller";
    
    if (itemStack?.typeId !== itemId) return;
    
    source.runCommand(command);
})

this is what you can use for now

[pallid stag]

I don't understand anything about the code, and my addon has things that if I pass them to the script, it will only make it more complicated, just look

It has a timeline where it is timed from the use of the item, identifying scores, tags to be able to execute what I want

I'll wait a little longer to improve my scripting knowledge.

[shy leaf]

oh wow thats a lot

the good news is

those are very recreatable with scripting api

[pallid stag]

@shy leaf I'm going to practice scripting now, but first I need you to ask a question (sorry for marking)

[shy leaf]

sure, go on

[pallid stag]

Is my manifest correct to begin with?

Behavior

[shy leaf]

sure, but the version you are using there is outdated

[pallid stag]

Version of what?

[shy leaf]

api versions

[pallid stag]

Which one would be correct?

[shy leaf]

the latest version for server is 2.1.0

and 2.0.0 for server-ui

[pallid stag]

Oh

I will change it, thank you very much.

[shy leaf]

server-ui is not needed if you are not planning to make UI forms

[pallid stag]

Ok

Is it correct?

[shy leaf]

thats a good start

but the issue here is that it does not know when to send the message

so you might not be able to see the message when you load into the world

[pallid stag]

I learned that I always have to put import (world) from "@minecraft/server";

[thorn flicker]

and you'll get a privilege error in v2

[pallid stag]

In the beginning

[shy leaf]

yes because thats how you create a script environment for your world

you tell the game that youre using this script file

[pallid stag]

Oh

How could I see the message?

[shy leaf]

youll have to add a way to send the message

[pallid stag]

Hum

Ok

[shy leaf]

this is what "events" are used for

[thorn flicker]

the problem is the message tries to send when the system starts up, but you are not loaded into the world yet

when you load into the world, you wont see it in chat

[shy leaf]

yep, when you start a world, the codes in the script will be ran once

[pallid stag]

So I need to use events

[thorn flicker]

and like I said it wont work in the first place like this if its script v2

[pallid stag]

Hum

[thorn flicker]

event listeners.

there's listeners for specific things like, when an entity gets hurt, when a block gets broken, ect.

you can find everything here
https://stirante.com/script/server/2.1.0/index.html

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/classes/_minecraft_server.WorldAfterEvents.html

[pallid stag]

Can I use this world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe((event) => {};

[shy leaf]

this is probably easier to read

[shy leaf]

yes you can

[thorn flicker]

thats preview though

[shy leaf]

oops

forgot to switch

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.WorldAfterEvents.html

[thorn flicker]

theres also beforeEvents
you should check this out before using beforeEvents, which also explains the privellege error I was talking about with world.sendMessage()
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/privileges

[pallid stag]

Great

[pallid stag]

Broooooooooooo

It worked 🙏

🙏🙏🙏

I'm so excited and happy, thank you for the support

[pallid stag]

I also learned how to use if

And how to execute such a thing (send the message) if only a specific block is placed on the ground

[floral timber]

should it not be leftover && spawnItem instead of item && spawnItem?

uh, nvm

[wise raft]

Is it possible to to make nametag only mandatory when my:parameters is set? js event.customCommandRegistry.registerEnum("my:parameters", ["set", "reset"]) event.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand( { name: "my:command", description: "desc", permissionLevel: Minecraft.CommandPermissionLevel.Admin, cheatsRequired: false, mandatoryParameters: [ { name: "nametag:parameters", type: Minecraft.CustomCommandParamType.Enum }, { name: "player", type: Minecraft.CustomCommandParamType.EntitySelector }. { name: "nametag", type: Minecraft.CustomCommandParamType.String } ] },

[chilly fractal]

probably not

[wise raft]

sadge

[chilly fractal]

you'll get an error if my:parameters is not registered and you used it

and also you can't change params dynamically

you can make the nametag parameter optional, and check if nametag:paramaters is set and then you can make nametag manadory by just returning a command result with failure in the status if it isn't provided.

[chilly fractal]

but that won't bypass this:

OH

i understand now lol

[chilly fractal]

yeah do this

[wise raft]

alright

thanks

[chilly fractal]

no problem

[floral timber]

huh, after years of brain----, i got it to work. (except for the recipe part 😢 ). i can't anymore.

[chilly fractal]

w

but it's JSON UI + action form.. right?

[floral timber]

ye

[chilly fractal]

also it seems your music was recorded while recording the vid

[floral timber]

oh sry lol

[chilly fractal]

it's okay lol

[warm mason]

you really need to remove the animation for the form to appear

[floral timber]

yup, its annoying af

and idk how

[chilly fractal]

anyway action form buttons are still buttons and can't really have "holding" like normal slots which is very problematic on mobile devices lol

[floral timber]

yup

idk what to do about that

[chilly fractal]

you can't, atleast i don't think so

i myself have been looking for a bit.. but my searching was not fruitful.

[floral timber]

about animation, you know something?

[chilly fractal]

nah lol

[floral timber]

gotta ask in #1067869374410657962

[chilly fractal]

if you find out how to remove it, it'd be helpful if you ping me about the solution

as i also need it very much

[floral timber]

sure thng

[chilly fractal]

well have a great afternoon then.

[floral timber]

dont know about that

lol

[chilly fractal]

?

[floral timber]

oh, i meant ive things that aint gonna go great so

(studies i mean)

[chilly fractal]

oh. that's sad, good luck with your studies lol

[floral timber]

hope so

[floral timber]

@chilly fractal found a fix but it makes it look kinda laggy tho.

[chilly fractal]

ooh

[floral timber]

still want that?

[chilly fractal]

sure

anything is better than waiting 2 seconds

[floral timber]

uh, in the server form add this.

{
    "namespace": "server_form",

    "[email protected]_screen": {
        "$screen_content": "server_form.main_screen_content",
        "$screen_animations": [],

        "button_mappings": [
            {
                "from_button_id": "button.menu_cancel",
                "to_button_id": "button.menu_exit",
                "mapping_type": "global"
            }
        ]
    }
    // ..........
}

this would clear all the animation it had

[chilly fractal]

thanks!

[floral timber]

np

[floral timber]

@chilly fractal imo, this one doesn't look that bad.

[chilly fractal]

oohhh

one sec

it's loadin' lol

[floral timber]

there are flickers, but thats almost instantaneous

[chilly fractal]

yeah it's so much better

great work!

this is very fantastic!

[floral timber]

not me, im building on the shoulder of giants yk.

thank BAO

[chilly fractal]

of course

and thank you to every single one who has helped you and every single one of us in our journeys

[floral timber]

yup

[floral timber]

@warm mason does this work now? ur opinion?

ima keep lookin ig

[chilly fractal]

it's pretty good

like very actually

but it's not "fluent".. like.. state of form to next state.

[floral timber]

its better, agreed, maybe i'll find best, who knows?

[chilly fractal]

this is very great for most forms

[chilly fractal]

this is great for something like a chess board or a phone UI, etc. something that needs to not flicker at all

[floral timber]

hmm

[chilly fractal]

yea it looks a bit weird but the form itself doesn't flicker. combined with movement disabling/enabling it would be 90% great for them.

[floral timber]

yup. whatcha you building btw?

*making

[chilly fractal]

currently an inventory seer, i am trying to give it a way to put items in the inventory

the taking logic works, but putting logic? i am still testing and pondering

[floral timber]

good luck. these things can be frustrating

[chilly fractal]

fr

[floral timber]

like real real frustrating

[chilly fractal]

so real

[floral timber]

good luck.
it took me over a week for that table alone

[chilly fractal]

damn

well good luck on what's left

[floral timber]

thanx

[untold magnet]

umm, sending a scriptevent via scripts is possible but not stable?
for now, ill just use runCommand('scriptevent <eventId>')

[round bone]

Yeah.

[slow walrus]

system.sendScriptevent("id", "message") added in @minecraft/server 1.18.0

https://stirante.com/script/server/1.18.0/classes/System.html#sendscriptevent

[untold magnet]

oh, good then.

[slow walrus]

what you using it for?

[untold magnet]

activating my hydration addon functionality,
the function is inside another addon, so i need to send a scriptevent to run the function when both addons are activated

basically:
xCore has all addons functionality
xHydration wont work without it, so u have to activate both addons

[slow walrus]

do you care much for using libraries?

[untold magnet]

and in the xHydration script, i can detect if the xCore addon is activated or not to trigger the addon functionality

[untold magnet]

what is that?

[slow walrus]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1277940040688996512

library for communicating between packs

[untold magnet]

like sharing dynamic properties?

[slow walrus]

no, it uses scriptevents

you can setup something to sync dynamic properties if you want though

[untold magnet]

anyways the current method i am using are good, i can use it to detect if my addons are activated or not, and it can detect when the world is fully loaded

[round bone]

You have 2 add-ons and want to check if they're both activated at the same time? (or it's just one-side relation)

[pallid stag]

Why doesn't it work?

[thorn flicker]

stop using ai

[shy leaf]

all the stuff in there except for worldLoad and world.getPlayers() is incorrect

[shy leaf]

feels like this is more of using outdated stuff

rather than ai

[thorn flicker]

getMainHandItem()

lol

did this really exist

[shy leaf]

except for that

i guess

[thorn flicker]

its either ai or randomly guessing stuff.

and wondering why its not working? Lol

[somber sundial]

world.events.tick was never a thing

[subtle cove]

change it tojs system.runInterval(() => { //code })

[shy leaf]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/index.html
you can use this doc

[somber sundial]

do you not want to specify an interval?

[shy leaf]

for checking stuff

[somber sundial]

or does it default to 1

[thorn flicker]

you dont need to

[shy leaf]

its 1 by default

[somber sundial]

oh interesting, i didn't actually know that

[shy leaf]

0 also does the same since its clamped

[somber sundial]

i suppose that makes sense

runTimeout defaults to 0 though right?

[shy leaf]

i havent used runTimeout for a long time so i forgir

[subtle cove]

its always 1 tick late execution

minimum

within the millisec, it's possible to clearRun it

[shy leaf]

interesting

[neat hazel]

Why does this happen? I don't understand much about blocks

My code is this:

world.beforeEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((data) => {
  const { block, itemStack, player } = data;
  data.cancel = true
  const item = new ItemStack("minecraft:apple", 1);
  block.dimension.spawnItem(item, block.location);
});

[somber sundial]

before events are "read only", meaning you cannot call apis that modify the world's state

you need to wrap that stuff in system.run(() => { /* code here */ })

[shy leaf]

some functions can be ran in read-only mode

[somber sundial]

which doesn't happen instantly

[shy leaf]

but stuff that modifies the world usually cant be run in read only

like spawnItem

[neat hazel]

Oh okay, I get it, thnk

[thorn flicker]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/privileges

[untold magnet]

the core addon will detect my activated addons, the system is already finished, it works pretty well

[fading sand]

How do i reverse an view vector, so it faces the opposite direction?

[somber sundial]

should just be able to multiply by -1 to flip it

[fading sand]

Basically it should look in an different direction
Like if its

it should be <<

[fading sand]

Sure?

[thorn flicker]

yeah but remember you cant do object * number

so you'll have do something like this{x: vector.x * -1, y: vector.y * -1, z: vector.z * -1}

[fading sand]

I see,hmm

[fading sand]

Sure that would reverse the direction only?

Im using this for some kind of shield to detect if the projectile hits within 10deg of where the player looks

[hazy kraken]

did you write that yourself?😭

[thorn flicker]

it should.

it just makes negative positive, and positive negative.

therefore reverts it

[thorn flicker]

im betting ai.

[fading sand]

But it doesnt change the rotation only direction

[thorn flicker]

I dont understand.

[pallid stag]

I just combined my knowledge in commands like what I knew about scripting and some things I was seeing on the website that was recommended to me

[thorn flicker]

uh huh

[hazy kraken]

makes sense, I feel like chatgpt could write it correctly tho💀

[hazy kraken]

I see

[fading sand]

Difficult to explain
Ill make a drawing later

[thorn flicker]

you are talking about rotation, so is this a vector 2?

[fading sand]

Im not sure

[thorn flicker]

what method are you using

getViewDirection?

[round bone]

You can declare an item in both of these packs and then check if you can create an instance of a pack.

try {
    new ItemStack("some:item_that_does_not_exist", 1)
} catch {
    // this code will be executed if item does not exist
}

[fading sand]

Hold on, yes

[untold magnet]

it wont work for addons that doesnt have custom items, like AppleSkin

[thorn flicker]

theres an AppleSkin addon?

[untold magnet]

ur idea will work tho

[thorn flicker]

cool

[untold magnet]

yes, AppleSkin - Bedrock Port

it will recieve a big update soon

enhancing the ui system, removing the delays, making it compatible with my hydration addon

[thorn flicker]

oh by you

nice

[fading sand]

Yellow projectiles should return false and red true the blue circle is where the black view vector comes from

[untold magnet]

it will works on custom food items too, like it shows u the custom food info when u hold it

[thorn flicker]

shameless plug

lmao

[untold magnet]

• when u activate it with my hydration addon:
  https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1292550893367197747/1412117599487267068/xHydration.mp4?ex=68b7c93f&is=68b677bf&hm=e107593ea25f429a46d753bd4f0f5a0bc162392c3b3dfd7d11db27b06c5986ca&

[thorn flicker]

im doing a thirst system too

[untold magnet]

its pretty simple, just some dynamic properties

[thorn flicker]

yup

[untold magnet]

like one or two

[thorn flicker]

and im using the new exhaustion api

[remote oyster]

It was. Back in 1.1.0-beta for 1.19.50, then 1.19.60. They removed it in 1.19.70 for 1.1.0-beta when they introduced system.run(), etc.

[untold magnet]

oh so u are detecting when the player exhaustion reaches 4 to decrease the thirs?

[thorn flicker]

3 actually, so it depletes faster than hunger

[somber sundial]

Oh that's interesting, my scripting knowledge doesn't go that far back

Was there no concept of before/after events either?

[untold magnet]

that works but, sometimes the script wont be fast enough to detect the exhaustion value

[thorn flicker]

seems fine to me.

are you running it every tick?

[untold magnet]

yes,

[thorn flicker]

I didnt have issues

[untold magnet]

if u have hunger effect, it wont catch it sometimes

[thorn flicker]

hm

[untold magnet]

like hunger 2+ will make it buggy

[thorn flicker]

noted

[untold magnet]

do some testing ig

[granite badger]

there was, but not that specific. (Ie there’s beforeChat and chat event, but there isn’t a beforeTick event when there’s a tick event)

[thorn flicker]

thanks for the heads up

[remote oyster]

There was but it was written differently.

world.events.beforeChatEvents.subscribe()

Versus

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe()

Going off memory.

[untold magnet]

u can detext when the player loses a saturation/hunger point instead, it wont have any issues at all

even with hunger 255

[covert rose]

What are the new versions for dependencies

I’m new and I dunno where to find them

[thorn flicker]

yeah but then what if the player keeps eating

they wont drain thirst normally

I mean like, it wont be detached

[untold magnet]

it will detect the saturation, u cant eat to restore saturation when the hunger is full

[hazy kraken]

is this practical? for my kits, I gotta register all the items so I can set up players inventories/equipment, this is js a bunch of export const of itemStacks

like 300 lines

[thorn flicker]

with some foods you can tho

like an apple

[untold magnet]

u can recreate the exhaustion system

[thorn flicker]

thats what I did before

[untold magnet]

but gl detecting when the player jumps

[thorn flicker]

so I guess, using my old system would be better

[thorn flicker]

wdym

I did that already

[untold magnet]

u cant detect when the player jumps, like playerJump.afterEvent

[thorn flicker]

you can

[untold magnet]

show me how, and i will show u how buggy it is
-# ill be back in 4m

[thorn flicker]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.1.0/classes/PlayerButtonInputAfterEvent.html#button

[subtle cove]

only when pressed/released

more like on playerstartjump

[thorn flicker]

well i didnt use that for my old system.

I dont recall it being buggy.

[untold magnet]

yeah exactly, it wont detect when the player jumps

like PlayerJumpAfterEvent

[thorn flicker]

it does

[untold magnet]

the system is not perfect tho

[thorn flicker]

like I said i didnt use that

[untold magnet]

u can detect when the player is jumping, but not when the player jumps, idk i cant explain it

[thorn flicker]

you can though...

[untold magnet]

in order to understand what i mean, console.warn the player exhaustion, and just keep jumping

[thorn flicker]

I know what the exhaustion does

[untold magnet]

see how will the exhaustion value will go up each time u jump, also try jumping under a block, like spam jumping

see how will the value keep increasing like crazy

u cant really do that in scripts

i tried everything

[subtle cove]

welp the game is written that way, just input for jumping

[dawn zealot]

what 😭

[thorn flicker]

lol

[untold magnet]

u better make ur thirst system slow, bec u cant get access to pure water early on

also, show me the hydration system on ur addon, like how to get hydrated

[thorn flicker]

its not finished, so no

[untold magnet]

mhm

[naive frost]

[thorn flicker]

?

[untold magnet]

hmmm

[thorn flicker]

mhm what

[untold magnet]

<villager-noise>

[thorn flicker]

it'll be as fast as the host configures it

and you'll get water "saturation" when you first spawn.

just like hunger

[untold magnet]

anyways, gl making a temperature system after this thirst addon

if u made a thirst addon, everyone will ask for a temperature addon, so gl dealing with the system

idk i found it a little too complicated

[thorn flicker]

thats what im doing.

lol

[dawn zealot]

temprature seems abit easy

change temp based on biome

[untold magnet]

SHOW ME

[thorn flicker]

theres a getBiome method in preview

[dawn zealot]

^

[distant tulip]

hmm

[untold magnet]

what about armor?
blocks like staying in water?

[thorn flicker]

im going to rework my temp system tho

its not doing so good lmao

[dawn zealot]

thats like 100 lines MAX for everything else

[thorn flicker]

just detect it.

[untold magnet]

my temperature addon will have two new armor sets, leaf armor and goat-fur armor

each one has some downsides

[thorn flicker]

yeah and then you lose armor values

[dawn zealot]

or make a object array like "minecraft:chain_helmet": { temperature_increase: 3 },

[thorn flicker]

yup

then add the temperature you've set from the biome

[dawn zealot]

then add it all up and set it

[thorn flicker]

well

increment it over time

you dont want to happen instantly

[untold magnet]

i have no idea how array works tho

[dawn zealot]

well obv

[untold magnet]

i never deal with them

[thorn flicker]

...

[dawn zealot]

works like this

[thorn flicker]

thats not an array

[dawn zealot]

same thing

[thorn flicker]

its not

lol

[dawn zealot]

yapa yapa

[distant tulip]

Obj are faster

[dawn zealot]

idek if i hazve a single array

[thorn flicker]

so you do know the difference

[thorn flicker]

time to script

[untold magnet]

the issue is, my armor system has different values in different biomes,

[dawn zealot]

then make that

[untold magnet]

so i dont think the array will works fine for me

[dawn zealot]

it does

[distant tulip]

I would add a value for everything else that doesn't match anything so other add-ons armour increase it a bit too

[untold magnet]

this is what i mean

Leaf Armor:
  - Cold: 1 - (0.2 + 0.3 + 0.25 + 0.2) = 0.05 → -95%
  - Hot: 1 - (0.15 + 0.25 + 0.2 + 0.15) = 0.25 → -75%
  - Chilly/Mild: 1 - (0.1 + 0.2 + 0.15 + 0.1) = 0.45 → -55%

[thorn flicker]

eh

[untold magnet]

it has different values in different biomes

[distant tulip]

Eh indeed

[dawn zealot]

const armorData = [
  {
    armor: "Leaf Armor",
    effects: [
      {
        condition: "Cold",
        calculation: "1 - (0.2 + 0.3 + 0.25 + 0.2) = 0.05",
        result: "-95%"
      },
      {
        condition: "Hot",
        calculation: "1 - (0.15 + 0.25 + 0.2 + 0.15) = 0.25",
        result: "-75%"
      },
      {
        condition: "Chilly/Warm",
        calculation: "1 - (0.1 + 0.2 + 0.15 + 0.1) = 0.45",
        result: "-55%"
      }
    ]
  }
];

chatgpt moment

[thorn flicker]

yay more ai

[neat hazel]

Does afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock not have itemStack?

[thorn flicker]

no

I dont see why it would

[dawn zealot]

its after so no it would just be air if it did or the same block if its a stack

[thorn flicker]

no

[dawn zealot]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

you edited your message

[distant tulip]

You could just make a multiplier for each biome
The armors have a value but before calculating how that affects the player temperature you multiply it by the biome temperature multiplier

[dawn zealot]

i forgor to add the last part

[thorn flicker]

hm

[neat hazel]

So how can I detect the item that was in the player's hand after I placed a block?

[thorn flicker]

get the equippable component

[dawn zealot]

run a function on beforeplace

then run it a tick late o smt

or*

[untold magnet]

thats what i did

ig

[dawn zealot]

just wait till preview

for getBiome

[thorn flicker]

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

[untold magnet]

nope, i have my own system for that

[distant tulip]

Nope
You hard coded the values

[thorn flicker]

or develop it in preview.

like im doing

[neat hazel]

Hm, I'm not that good with scripts, but I'll try to do this

[untold magnet]

HelmetBonus / HelmetEnchantBonus + ChestplateBonus / ChestplateEnchantBonus + LeggingsBonus / LeggingsEnchantBonus + BootsBonus / BootsEnchantBonus
each armor will have different value if it has fire protection enchant

[distant tulip]

Again, multiplier

[dawn zealot]

function getItemAfterPlace(player) {
system.runTimeout(() => {
//ur code here
}, 2)
}

just run function using before event

[untold magnet]

player?.setDynamicProperty('coldConditionMultiplier', eConditionMultiplierValue + ArmorBonus);

it works somewhere good ig

[distant tulip]

I know it work, just saying there is better way to do things

[untold magnet]

all i have to do next is increasing the temperature value from being too small, like 0,025

[dawn zealot]

u remind me of when i said functions were better than scripts

oh how wrong i was

[neat hazel]

Like this?

function getItemAfterPlace(player) {
  system.runTimeout(() => {
    const inv = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
    const hand = inv?.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
    const item = hand.typeId == "minecraft:hopper";

    if (item && item.nameTag?.includes("Tier")) {
      player.sendMessage("success");
    }
  }, 2)
}

[dawn zealot]

looks right to me

just remember to import system

[neat hazel]

Ok

[neat hazel]

This is appearing:
[Scripting][error]-TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined at <anonymous> (index.js:103)

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [Addon - [index.js] ran with error: [TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined at <anonymous> (index.js:103)
]

[dawn zealot]

then its ur event

[neat hazel]

I think it's something related to "beforeEvents.playerPlaceBlock"

[warped blaze]

have you enabled beta apis? some before events are beta only

[neat hazel]

Oh, right, I forgot about that

I didn't want to use beta apis, but it's the only way

[thorn flicker]

you didnt need to create a function

[full idol]

Is it not possible to have custom discs with custom songs? They have to replace existing disc sound files? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/itemreference/examples/itemcomponents/minecraft_record?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[wary edge]

Wrong channel, but correct.

You can check #1072983602821861426 for workarounds.

[full idol]

Oh oops thanks!

[grand needle]

Is it possible to detect if an entity is an adult?

[warm mason]

if (entity.getComponent('is_baby') == undefined) {

}

[subtle cove]

what about hasComponent

[wary edge]

Dont be rude @warm mason

[thorn flicker]

!entity.hasComponent('is_baby') would work too yeah

[naive tinsel]

is there a smoother way to move an entity other than running a entity.applyImpulse... every tick?

[distant tulip]

gametest

[pallid stag]

Is it possible to create a UI that only appears if there is a specific tag on the player, and it changes according to the value of a scoreboard?

[naive tinsel]

what do you mean?

[dawn zealot]

cant u tp gradually

[naive tinsel]

yeah but i think thatll be more jolty

[snow knoll]

You could applyKnockback every tick, lol

[snow knoll]

Action form ui or json UI?

[pallid stag]

I don't know the difference between the two, can you explain it to me?

[snow knoll]

When I said action form I was referring to general scripting UI but to simplify it as much as possible Action Forms, Message Forms and Modal Forms are all scripting ui and looks like the picture below
Whereas, json ui is more like the in game vanilla ui, as in crafting table, inventory, so on and so forth

[pallid stag]

I understand, but it's not that type, but something like an image.

I intended to add a bar like the one in the image above

Where it is controlled according to the value of a specific scoreboard

[spice finch]

Is there a reason that I shouldn't use world.setDynamicProperty() for like a couple hundred to maybe thousands of key value pairs?

dynamic properties feel super powerful, surely there is a downside to doing this

[hazy kraken]

Maybe run some tests were you add long dynamic properties to the world

I feel like u could get away with a few hundred sense it's usually static data

But maybe you'll feel some lag if there all dynamically changing every tick

[spice finch]

They would only be strings of a couple characters long (20ish max)

[hazy kraken]

Dynamic or static?

[spice finch]

static

mainly just data storage at large scale

[hazy kraken]

Yea I feel like you could get away with upwards of 250, but I've never try anything like it so I'm not sure

[spice finch]

hmmm, I'll have to give it a test

thanks

[hazy kraken]

Yea, maybe write a function that adds 50 character keys and values ever half second and see how long it takes before u feel lag or something

[spice finch]

how would I tell if its lagging the game? since they aren't being called very often, just kind of existing in large quantities

[hazy kraken]

Good point, I'm not sure how often the data is being referenced

I mean I was able to store multiple inventories on player, and that's like 500 character per saved inventory

[hazy kraken]

Oh you could check would size every minute or so

So js log out and see how much of difference it makes

[dense wraith]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spice finch]

I've got a unique dynamic property being created every tick with 50 character string. we'll see what happens lol

[spice finch]

what are you expecting and what is happening?

[dense wraith]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hazy kraken]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hazy kraken]

Hmm

I'm not sure, I haven't worked with health component yet

[spice finch]

try using console.log(currenthealth) and make sure its what you expect it to be

[dense wraith]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[spice finch]

Quick update:
10k properties in and doesn't seem to be any issues. although it doesn't like when you call world.getDynamicPropertyIds()

[pallid stag]

Is it possible?

[hazy kraken]

That's understandable, has the world size increased much?

[spice finch]

0.3 MB because I messed up the property and the string is only like 10 characters long

[hazy kraken]

Wow, that's impressive still, I thought it would be more, maybe try looping though each one and sending a message

[spice finch]

now how does one delete roughly 10k dynamic properties from your world. not that I have that many... 🙃

[spice finch]

that doesn't seem to bother it either. at least not at once per tick

[hazy kraken]

Intresstinnggg

[hazy kraken]

Loop through em all and set them to undefined or null I think

[hazy kraken]

I wonder what information makes the properties dense

[jolly junco]

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined    at <anonymous> (enchMomentum.js:118)

This is line 118: world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((ev) => {

Why?

[unique acorn]

Are you using beta api? chatSend event isn't stable.

you need beta api for it

[jolly junco]

Ohh thanks

[empty yoke]

With "onPlayerInteract" on the block, can't the event be canceled?

[round bone]

No, it can't be. Use PlayerInteractWithBlockBeforeEvent instead.

[warm mason]

Well, in fact, you can block this event via PlayerInteractWithBlockBeforeEvent too

[empty yoke]

I'm using it to create the system for the slabs, but I have a problem: I don't understand why the custom slab only interacts with the custom slab. The swing appears, but if I have a custom slab and interact with a block next to it, the swing doesn’t start, even though the event does

[wise raft]

Is it possible to have rawtext as command parameter?

[deep quiver]

Just do a string and parse it as json

[floral timber]

for someone who just codes in one file, modularity at this level is such an achievement.

[deep quiver]

Doing more and more projects is the best way to learn structuring

[floral timber]

yup. its my first step towards spliting

structure is okay for beginners right?

[deep quiver]

Its ok yeah, theres definitely still improvements to be made

[floral timber]

like

[deep quiver]

Its all personal preference, but you could move the individual registry files into their folders, so the menu folder includes the menu registry code + all the menus

[floral timber]

good idea

[deep quiver]

Also for the future you should make utils a folder

[floral timber]

yup, and?

[deep quiver]

Thats good for now

Would be even better if I could see the code, structure is really dependant on the code. Most other suggestions I would give are just very personal preference, but what you have is definetly not bad. Most important is that your comfortable with your code base

[floral timber]

thats right. should i send the code over to you, perhaps?

[deep quiver]

Nono

[floral timber]

figured lol

was jk

thank you for the suggestions.

[deep quiver]

We can one day hop into a vc, but that will turn into a full on code review

[floral timber]

im quite uncomfortable in vc

introvert kinda things

sure if its just screen sharing.

btw thanks.

[deep quiver]

Np, I like it when people actually care about code quality

[floral timber]

its only recent awareness tho.

i was a guy whose motto was "make it work"

how? dont care.

[deep quiver]

Yeah like 99% of the bedrock community

Sometimes its good to have that mindset, but if you actually want to improve, you should care

And one day you will just write decent quality code without thinking about it

[floral timber]

right, its practice after all.

well, still a long way to go

wish me luck lol

[hazy kraken]

you must hate me then

jk

I use to have structre, but I had to edit tons of stuff, and everything got complied into one folder so I just left it🥀

[deep quiver]

I don't hate anyone, if your ever work with me, you will see that I would just give tips and tricks and help the other get onto a level, where we can work together comfortably. Sadly it doesn't always work out, bcs of time constrains

[hazy kraken]

oh, yea I meant that as a joke XD.

[untold magnet]

anyways, make sure to show me the results,

• will it be compatible with custom food/drinks? for my addon it is, it just requires a specific tag

[thorn flicker]

i'll show it off when I think its in a good place.

[pallid portal]

Stupid question:
when you have a script that check when a block is broken, placed, interacted with etc.
Does this script only check the block that has that script as part of its custom component, or will it check every block in the world and then check if its the applicable block before doing the rest of whatever the script is about?

Because if yes, wouldn't that make the code a bit clunky or demanding in performance when stacked up with multiple blocks and/or addons?

And wouldn't there be a way for the script to fire only when the relevant block it is supposed to run with be triggered for its event?
ex. interacting with custom block A triggers event B. Instead of interacting with every block in general (or just interacting as an action) for the script to constantly check for custom block A to trigger event B.

[distant tulip]

the game register the callback only for blocks that have custom components

assuming you are talking about custom components events

---

ItemFoodComponent
only work for apples?

[thorn flicker]

and some other foods I think, but yeah, not all vanilla foods have the component.

it's annoying

[distant tulip]

@civic nest
🤷‍♂️

[thorn flicker]

when it comes to vanilla foods just rely on the wiki for that info

[distant tulip]

i guess that's one way of doing it

[thorn flicker]

what would you do

[distant tulip]

cry

lol, i didn't think of any other way
was thinking more of in game thing

[thorn flicker]

just create an object listing every vanilla food item and for each item have an object listing their food info.

and just go to the wiki for that data

[pallid portal]

custom components, yes
Mainly for blocks.

I have trouble understanding why the script I was learning was apparantly reading all interactions and then the script checks if it is the applicable block. And if there were something that makes the script trigger only when the block in question is interacted with, ticks or does an event in general.

In other words.
Would scripts run when the player does an interaction event. Which can be anything and thus unnecessary for everything other than the block that the script is supposed to trigger on.
Or would interacting with the only the applicable block make the script run.

The former makes the script run several times and make unnecessary checks, while the latter only checks for when the block in question is doing an event.

[distant tulip]

that doesn't sound like custom components

[thorn flicker]

well

I mean in the way food component represents it.

[distant tulip]

hmm?

[thorn flicker]

the itemFoodComponent properties

[distant tulip]

i just scraped the wiki and though to share it

you mean the names?

[thorn flicker]

I was thinking of only doing the info the food component provides.

and use the wiki to help figure that out

[distant tulip]

yeah, there was a lot tho. typing all that will be a nightmare
that just the raw stuff i got from it

[thorn flicker]

it'll just be tedious

[distant tulip]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

also you typing all that stuff out would take as long as you gathering the data from the wiki...

not as long but both seem tedious to me.

[distant tulip]

not really, i used ai
Ai prompt:
I have this link and there is a table in it formatted like this
"x"
scrap that data and follow the link to the item page, in it there is this table
"y"
use both of those and put the data into a json file formatted like this
"z"

[thorn flicker]

ai...

so you didnt scrape through it

lol

[distant tulip]

i guess

[thorn flicker]

you saying that made me think you did.

dont blame you using ai for that though, wouldnt want to sit there doing that.

[distant tulip]

no i didn't
i mean i know how to use axios and most scraping tools but i am not making a code that i only run once and delete it

i made this after all
https://github.com/MinecraftBedrockArabic/Modbay-Feed-Discord-bot
i don't want to go through that again, lol

The /toggledownfall command doesn't trigger the WeatherChangeAfterEvent, bug or no?

[shy leaf]

...what?

[distant tulip]

toggledownfall??

[prisma shard]

whaaaat

tf is the toggledownfall command

[thorn flicker]

its a command to make it quickly rain guys.

[thorn flicker]

if it doesn't, maybe you can make a bug report.

[subtle cove]

hmm

it sure does not trigger any event

[thorn flicker]

if I remember correctly, the weather command also does not trigger it

/weather triggers the event

[earnest meadow]

Hey @fiery solar, I was wondering on your "Quantum Entities" post, how did you detect whether the player is looking at the entity?

Is it scripts or the same thing creaking uses?

If scripts, can you please share how?

[prisma shard]

function isLookingAtEntity(player, maxDistance) {
        try {
            const rayEntity = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: maxDistance })[0]?.entity;
            if (rayEntity) {
                return true;
            }
        } catch (e) { return false; }
    }```

[lone mango]

How does one blank out the off-hand slot?
I tried this:

equippableComponent.setEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Offhand, undefined);

Doesn't work.

[shy leaf]

do you get an error

[lone mango]

I do not.

[shy leaf]

odd

does setting it with other items work?

[lone mango]

yeah, works with the other slots like head, chest, leggings, etc

[shy leaf]

[lone mango]

ok... then it worked that time... I swear this game is off its rocker sometimes

[subtle cove]

hmmm

[jagged gazelle]

it's literally everywhere, it's just "Itzy Yeji"

[subtle cove]

maybe u have another code that sets ur offhand...
that works as inteded btw

[earnest meadow]

Isn't that only entities that are on the player's cursor?

[prisma shard]

yeah

[earnest meadow]

yeah I wasn't talking about that

[prisma shard]

well if you meant player's whole screen view thats also possible

[earnest meadow]

How so?

[prisma shard]

maybe this way

[prisma shard]

[distant tulip]

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

Entity.prototype.getEntitiesFromAngle = function (maxDistance = 6, fov = 60, options = {}) {
    const viewDir = this.getViewDirection();
    const pLoc = this.location;

    const queryOptions = {
        ...options,
        maxDistance,
        location: pLoc
    };

    const cosFov = Math.cos((fov * Math.PI) / 180);
    const results = [];

    for (const entity of this.dimension.getEntities(queryOptions)) {
        if (entity === this) continue;

        const eLoc = entity.location;
        const toEntity = {
            x: eLoc.x - pLoc.x,
            y: eLoc.y - pLoc.y,
            z: eLoc.z - pLoc.z
        };

        const dot = viewDir.x * toEntity.x + viewDir.y * toEntity.y + viewDir.z * toEntity.z;
        const mag = Math.sqrt(toEntity.x ** 2 + toEntity.y ** 2 + toEntity.z ** 2);
        if (mag === 0) continue;

        const cosAngle = dot / mag;
        if (cosAngle >= cosFov) results.push(entity);
    }

    return results;
};

[prisma shard]

updated version?

nice

[sharp elbow]

I would avoid assigning the maxDistance and location properties to the options parameter, as this mutates the object being passed in.

In most cases this shouldn't matter, since people are very likely to give it an object literal. But that is something to consider if someone passes a variable as an argument

[distant tulip]

yeah, you are are right

[sharp elbow]

Instead, I would construct a new object in the getEntities call with the new properties passed in:

for (const entity of this.dimension.getEntities({...options, maxDistance, location: pLoc})) {

[distant tulip]

updated, thanks for pointing that out

[mint cairn]

I'm learning more about scripting. When I run /reload are all existing subscriptions automatically cleaned up or do I need to manually unsubscribe to the events I subscribed to?

[wary edge]

Cleaned up.

[sterile epoch]

how do I stop the player from dying and instead give a tag?

[shy leaf]

i think you cant really stop an entity's death without editing entity behavior

[sterile epoch]

[round bone]

You have to reimplement health system from scratch to do this.

[sterile epoch]

I tried to set min health to 1 then check if damage received was fatal but it seems min in health component was removed

[edgy elm]

Hello here, does anyone here encounter the same issue with me?

Whenever i add a new file or folder inside my script folder, i still need to re-open Minecraft instead of just reloading it. Before I just /reload and it will detect new file script added but now I need to re-open Minecraft just to detect new file.

[floral timber]

i dont remember detecting new files with a reload

[edgy elm]

js can be detected even just reload, json needs to re open the world

[floral timber]

to me it didnt work like that iirc, js json all needed reopening world

ig ive the same issue as you lol

[fickle dagger]

for new folders it has to be re-opened last time I tried

[hazy kraken]

I only have to relog for it to work

[prisma shard]

hm

When I constantly add dynamicProperty to my item, it keeps moving in my hand 😭

halp

it also makes it have "has custom properties" lore

thats not the problem but the problem is its moving like when you interact/consume something, i cant find a way to save itemstack as dynamicproperty in world or player

[valid ice]

That's normal, you're replacing the item in hand constantly.
The "has custom properties" can be toggled with a gamerule /gamerule showtags false

Can I ask why you're constantly replacing the item?

[hazy kraken]

Before you replace you can get the item alot number, and replace it with its alot number

In this server

[prisma shard]

Either learn basics of script api and have patience, Because you just pasted a whole chunk of code written by another person and asking for help repeatedly

[valid ice]

If you set the item back it jumps in your hand. If you do not set it back it does not jump. I just tested it.

[prisma shard]

Maybe AI secretly put that in my code.... Yuh ill see tmr

[hazy kraken]

Where you save the durability, save the item stack slot number, and save it where u save the durability

Sorry Im on not on pc 😓

Almost certain that was made on chatGPT(won’t work)

And everything is wrong there.

Just the js syntax is ok, all the minecraft scripting logic is wrong there.

if you feed GPT the whole metadata and documents, it could work

not guaranteed though

Doing this but in scripts

const prop = getProperty("example:property")
setProperty("example:property", prop + 1)```

[sour sedge]

Old thread, but still a relevant topic I think. I recently asked chatgpt to refactor some minified Javascript and it got the logic wrong several times. Most of the time it was correct, but it was so time consuming carefully checking each line. Or it would just leave out parts. I've started just refactoring it myself.

So many little glitches with AI, and so unsatisfying carefully checking it compared to me just rewriting it. I experimented with asking it to refactor Boolean statements and it still got it wrong sometimes. When I restated the same Boolean statements but with simple a, b, c instead of longer variable representations, it would sometimes tell me the opposite logic result.

When a computer program gets logic wrong, you know you're not dealing with something deterministic and reliable. A program to refactor code deterministically (traditional coding) would be far more reliable here - I'm sure some exist.

What I have found AI useful for is identifying coding patterns from very little code given to it that I'm unclear about the function of, because pattern recognition is about the most useful application of machine learning.

And sometimes explaining stuff and answering questions but even then it can lead me up the garden path because it doesn't really understand context.
