Script API General

[shy leaf]

are you using manifest v3?

[full idol]

Nah, but the settings label works on 2

[shy leaf]

i see

[unique apex]

random question someone ping me if they know, but is there a place to check what is in which version of API dependencies?

or more specifically, does anyone know if simulated player is in the stable version of server-gametest? (0.1.0)

i went to the documentation on microsoft learn but its a bit outdated

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/

[shy leaf]

you can either check metadata in bedrock-samples repo, or use what sean sent, or use jayly docs

also for the gametest part, no, theyre only in 1.0.0-beta still

[unique apex]

thanks guys! super helpful

[somber cedar]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/modules/_minecraft_server-gametest.html
There is nothing there tho

[distant gulch]

Does /damage suicide command like when using the projectile method, does it also remove the stun delay

if using anything else besides projectiles

i tried it with an autoclicker for an item but it still had the stun

[magic peak]

hello everyone @magic peak here

[dusky flicker]

hello kanin @dusky flicker here

[distant gulch]

hello

i’m beginner in programming

python or javascript?

[rare plume]

js

[distant gulch]

thanks

[dusky flicker]

sadly, js 😢

im really thinking on usint haxe to transpile to js instead of ts

it seems to be more interesting

[magic peak]

not sadly python is slow as a shit

[dusky flicker]

i didnt benchmark it compared to js, but it could be damn better

quickjs is at least 20 times slower than bun and node for some tasks

[meager pulsar]

this is onlt showing (undefined) when i look at any entity, what am i doing wrong?

system.runInterval(()=>{
    world.getAllPlayers().forEach((player)=>{
        const lookAtEntity = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection({maxDistance:100})[0]
        if(lookAtEntity){
            console.warn(lookAtEntity.id)
        }
    })
})```

[drowsy scaffold]

how do I get the item in a glow item frame? I would've assumed that they have an inventory component but they don't

nevermind, found it

[wary edge]

You cant

[drowsy scaffold]

for whatever reason Block.getItemStack returns the item inside the frame which is the exact opposite of what I would think that call would do but okay

[wary edge]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-5834484041415217257

Thats...new.

[drowsy scaffold]

right?

[meager pulsar]

1-. Save the item frame on a structure
2-.Load it somwhere else and break it
3-. Read the item from the entity that drops

best solution i can think of

[prisma shard]

Block.getItemStack() works

[prisma shard]

When there is nothing in the item frame, getItemStack returns "minecraft:frame" btw.

[drowsy scaffold]

interesting, appreciate that

[shy leaf]

whats the required format version for item custom components in v2 scripting?

just need to note it somewhere

[wary edge]

1.21.90

[shy leaf]

danke sean

[wary edge]

Now go fix your addon.

[shy leaf]

bet

[prisma shard]

Thoughts on this code?

[rare plume]

looks like AI code

[shy leaf]

you can make custom error handler

could make use of that

what is this for though

[dusky flicker]

is it meant to be something Promise-like?

[rare kite]

Does anyone know why you can’t run and execute command in scripts

It always throws and on the @ symbol

[broken pawn]

you use "runCommandAsync"?

it got removed by the way

[rare kite]

Yes

[broken pawn]

use "runCommand" instead

[rare kite]

Both still work either way it throws an error

The problem is something with the script not liking the exits command

[prisma shard]

Kinda yea

[prisma shard]

Haha, yeah used AI for help

[rare plume]

yeah the comments are what gives it away

[prisma shard]

It already does handle errors though, Or you meant a different thing? Cuz if i implement more error logging that would just turn into a Logger

[prisma shard]

I don't know but thought could be useful, Such as doing clearRun stops interval but its harder, so this class what it does is helps to resume/pause a interval. Then when you need to abort the task, it does clearRun. I kinda wanted to make it Promise-like.
So yeah basically you can do:

const id = TaskScheduler.runInterval(() => {

})

id.stop() // this will stop the interval

id.start() // this will resume the interval again

So basically it makes managing tasks easier by allowing interval to stop or start which mojang doesnt allow this feature cuz clearRun just aborts the interval.

[prisma shard]

@rare plume do u think its useful in cases?

[rare plume]

this could actually be really using if your handling a lot of system run intervals for like a timer or something

i might honestly use this

[prisma shard]

Yup thats why

[prisma shard]

haha ty

[rare plume]

you should put this in #1067535712372654091

[shy leaf]

i meant different thing, yeah

there can be some unexpected cases that isnt handled from scripting api

[prisma shard]

Such as?

It currently handles normal errors like if the task is already running, and if you try to run it again, it wil throw err

[shy leaf]

yeah idk, i was just thinking if it could have one

[dusky flicker]

i dont see why exactly it's harder. Anyways, you could add some functions to handle failures

and make onComplete generate other TaskScheduler in chain

even maybe make usage of promises to make it able to use await syntax

[dusky flicker]

@tranquil junco by the way, that idea of storing data in binary, im implementing it slowly

im making some tests yet

it seems to be working

i just must implement arrays

[shy leaf]

thats some peculiar looking ide

[dusky flicker]

its just 2 terminals

1 with helix, another one with, nothing

[shy leaf]

i see

[dusky flicker]

here's the code so far

documentation may be incorrect

[broken pawn]

Ask a bit, if i increase the interval timer, does it reduce any lag?

import {EntityEquippableComponent,EquipmentSlot,system}from"@minecraft/server";
let S = system;

S.runInterval(()=>{for(let A of world.getPlayers()){try{
    let B=A.getComponent(EntityEquippableComponent.componentId);
    let C1=B.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Head);
    let C2=B.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Chest);
    let C3=B.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Legs);
    let C4=B.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Feet);
    if(C1.typeId.includes(":")&&C2.typeId.includes(":")&&C3.typeId.includes(":")&&C4.typeId.includes(":")){A.addEffect("resistance",300,{showParticles:false})};
}catch(e){}}},150);

[cursive fog]

Can you read player entity properties using scripts?

Im using getProperty but my script wont read it somehow

[dusky flicker]

i think you can make things simpler

put a tag on the player when it wears something

and put the effect with time infinite

[broken pawn]

it would be better, i'm still trying to learn how to script rn

[cursive fog]

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

const TARGET_ITEM = "vdg:coltwalker"  // target item ID
const DAMAGE_PER_USE = 1    // durability consumed per use
let useitem

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
  useitem = world.getDynamicProperty('vd:shooting')
})

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {
  const { source: player, itemStack } = ev
  if (!player || !itemStack) return
  if (itemStack.typeId !== TARGET_ITEM) return

  const dur = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:durability")
  if (!dur) return
  if (useitem === false) return;
  if (dur.damage == 12) system.run(() => player.runCommand('function coltwalker/empty'))

  dur.damage += DAMAGE_PER_USE
  const container = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container
  if (!container) return
  container.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, itemStack)
});


console.warn

[dusky flicker]

when it removes, you remove the tag as well as the effect

the tag is mainly to check if it's got the effect

[cursive fog]

Why wont my script return if my property is false?

[broken pawn]

sounds good, gonna try that then

using world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe??

[cursive fog]

Ye

Should i put my useitem part on the itemuse.subscribe?

Idk

[broken pawn]

well, idk tho

[dusky flicker]

my quickjs version doesnt have float16 support '-'

[celest fable]

test

[dusky flicker]

but im testing it

it just doesnt have

i gotta update it

[celest fable]

bruh what the heck is this

[dusky flicker]

it's typescript bro.

but im working with binary serialization

[celest fable]

i know that, but for what:v

[dusky flicker]

just because im studying about network and the guy i've mentioned gave me idea to do something like it

for storing binary instead of json yknow

[celest fable]

oowh, thats nice

[dusky flicker]

at least on that tiny example i was testing, the binary got at least 6 times smaller

but compacting 2bytes to 1 char it may get something around 11 chars

[celest fable]

async function forceOpen(player, form) {
  let res = await form.show(player)
  while (res.cancelationReason === "UserBusy") res = await form.show(player)
  return res
}

how do you think about this compact "forceOpen"?

[dusky flicker]

it's doing its job, so it's good

[celest fable]

lol literally the same respond from my friends

[dusky flicker]

arrays implemented 👍

[fast pond]

whats command for downloading all latest scritpapi packages and versions?

[unique apex]

man i cannot take a break from this, i leave the space for like 3 months and have to relearn half of it

we went from worldload to worldinitialize back to worldload 😭

i also cant get my block component registry to work anymore so ill have to look into that one

[broken pawn]

interesting

looks like it's the reason registryBlockComponent somehow didn't work as intented

How does one make a custom UI element show on the HUD? And how do you feed it values for things like meters and such.

The JSON UI tutorials don't really explain how to do that from the scripting API

[spark kayak]

I don't actively code bedrock addons like I used to
I had the idea of coding a spelling bee detecting keyboard inputs to play with my friends

is that even possible?

I don't think you can detect keystrokes like that

[full idol]

Bedrock Dedicated server keeps crashing with this when a mob gets punched. Sometimes when it restarts the issue is gone, but then eventually it comes back. No idea how or why, but could this be an addon thing?

[distant tulip]

not possible
the best you can do is change your key binding to some letters and only use those
we can detect the keys for moving, jumping, sneaking, interacting, and maybe hitting

[twilit tartan]

anyone can help me with my question pls #1423380725373341856

[spark kayak]

I worked on a system for right click detection however the most I got was detecting right click if you're inside a room encased in structure voids so it just would always act like your inside a block in practice

but yeah I guess I can build a website 😔

would've been fun to build a map and stuff

[distant tulip]

well... if you really want that you can build a website and link it to a map

genuine question, is there a way that achievement is enabled with script api running?

[wary edge]

Add-ons don't disable achievements anymore no.

[mystic harness]

it still prompts me this as you said addons dont disable achievements anymore

[chrome gyro]

How do you iterate an entity list in an order. I've tried using:

  entitys.forEach(entity => {

  for (let e = 0; e < 64; e++) {
   const entity = entitys[e]
   if ( entity == undefined ) { break };

but these both execute all the entities at the same time, or atleast too fast between each iteration for it to matter. I'm trying to kill an entity if it detects a duplicate entity, but keep running into entities killing eachother.

[random flint]

What do you mean by duplicate?

The same typeId? (zombie & zombie)
or the exact same entity you want to filter out?

You can use the Set() object to record unique elements

[chrome gyro]

I'm using a property to detect same type. But doesn't matter much to me. Ok I'll look into using Set() thank you!

[lethal bramble]

how would i modify the contents of an itemstack, for example a chest that the player is holding?

ive tried using ItemInventoryComponent, but it just returns undefined

this component is so stupid. LITERALLY EVERY ITEM DOES NOT HAVE IT. that includes:

• chest
• barrel
• shulker box
• bundle

WHY???

[distant tulip]

bundle should have it

[lethal bramble]

it doesnt

i used the hascomponent thing and it said false

[distant tulip]

you are in beta?

[lethal bramble]

ye

[distant tulip]

send code

[lethal bramble]

system.run(() => {
       const shulkerBox = new ItemStack("minecraft:bundle", 1);
       console.log(`bundle has component: ${shulkerBox.hasComponent("minecraft:inventory")}`);
       const container = shulkerBox.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;

       for (let i = itemsRequired; i > 64; i -= 64) {
                    container.addItem(new ItemStack("minecraft:redstone", 64));
       }
       if (itemsRequired % 64 > 0) container.addItem(new ItemStack("minecraft:redstone", itemsRequired % 64));

       shulkerBox.nameTag = signalStrength.toString();

       origin.sourceEntity.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container.addItem(shulkerBox);

       return {
          status: CustomCommandStatus.Success,
          message: `Gave ${origin.sourceEntity.nameTag} shulker box`
       }
})```

[distant tulip]

sound like a bug

the component is for bundle like items

[dusky flicker]

you could use runJob instead

[dusky flicker]

sets arent gonna help you if what you have are objects

if you store the entities in the set

[final ocean]

I am creating a prison map should I use chest ui or actionformdata

[meager cargo]

Is there a way to cancel event on interaction with dispenser block, but then opening ActionForm and set up some commands on the buttons?

I made script for canceling events with beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock ev.cancel = true;
But then I can't open ActionForm. I figured it out that I can open form by using script events, but now I'm struggling with seting up working commands on the buttons in this form...

[rare plume]

show your code

[meager cargo]

I made workaround - I canceled event on dispenser but added interact with button on it. So it solved my issue. I'm sorry I deleted wrong code

[wary edge]

Both.

[restive light]

Which one do you use more?

[sly valve]

Mostly OOP and sometimee Functional

[dawn zealot]

is it bad idk what any of these are

[dusky flicker]

i use classes because thats the only way to make objects have methods, but im really interested in using f# to compile down to js

but i really hate the fact of not having a bunch of functional features

im used to rust, and in general thing.method() is just a sintax sugar to TypeOfThing::method(&thing)

so im used to think of things like this

[sly valve]

Rust looks interesting

[restive light]

yes

[restive light]

What type of stuff do you typically use OOP for and what stuff do you use functional?

[twilit tartan]

anyone can help me with my question pls #1423380725373341856

[sly valve]

OOP for games mostly or big system, functional when im too lazy to do a good structure

[restive light]

I typically use OOP for database related stuff and functional for everything else

[sly valve]

I use it for everything nearly

I love a good structure

And yeah I also use Functional for little scripts, like my Tag game, or a simple Rank system

[restive light]

even for stuff that would just be static?

I tried to use oop but a lot of my code would just be a collection of function

[sly valve]

For static stuff thats yes. If its critical i may use functions or literal objects instead

[restive light]

How much of your stuff is only static?

and how much are you uses instances

[sly valve]

Services or helpers are static

And I use instances for like Enemies or Towers in a tower defense

Hoe much in total idk

[fair fern]

Hey, do you have more context here? What base game version are you in? Do you mean that the hasComponent call returns false, but then you can still get the component and use the container within it? Thanks!

[dusky flicker]

i tend to use oop for things that follow some pattern

i mean, a bunch of things that follow the same pattern

not a single one

but in general a simple struct and it's functions should be enough

[final urchin]

the getEntitiesFromRay api is cooked 💔

So I am the codev of a hitbox/collision box pack and suddenly this update certain entities just dont get picked up by the ray system

like items, arrows, tridents, potions, xp orbs, and more.

standard mobs are detected just fine though :/

Help😭

[distant tulip]

  let useitem = world.getProperty('vd:shooting') == false

this is not a thing, please don't use ai if you don't know what are you doing

[snow knoll]

It even looks over complicated

What are you actually attempting to do?
I'm sure that a simpler solution can be made to help you if you ask

[prisma shard]

Thank u very much

[nova flame]

realms

[cursive fog]

Am not using ai
Im just trying to eyeball things and hope they work😭
Bedrock Wikis and script documentation the only good source i got

[cursive fog]

Basically
If i use the revolver item while having the property vd:shooting set to true it deducts durability on the item

After 6th use of the item it triggers a replace item function

[prisma shard]

Bro getProperty is not a thing

In which script documentation did you even saw

[wheat condor]

this is a thing

[round bone]

Not possible then.

[prisma shard]

Whaaaaaaa

Fr?

[wheat condor]

variable == variable returns true/false

[prisma shard]

but Only for entities

[wheat condor]

let variable = variable1 == variable2
// variable = true/false

[cursive fog]

Yes im trying to get that property from player.json

[prisma shard]

Do u see Entity.getProperty in screenshot? @cursive fog

U used world.getProperty

Not entity

[cursive fog]

It wouldnt work😭

It says not documented or smth

Idk

[snow knoll]

A property can only be retrieved from an entity with a property defined in their entity file
Was it defined?

[prisma shard]

Well for getting the property you need to define it in Entiy json

[prisma shard]

exactly what i was gonna say

[wheat condor]

Tuff

[snow knoll]

My sentiments exactly

[cursive fog]

Wym defined
I made a property on player.json vd:shooting
Unless it doesnt count custom made properties

[snow knoll]

Defined/declared
Basically made and given (or not) a value

[prisma shard]

Guh

[snow knoll]

Essentially the game knows it exists

[wheat condor]

define entity means

const entity = Entity

[cursive fog]

Oh

[snow knoll]

There are no default player properties anyways so it being custom is no issue

[cursive fog]

Hmmm

So should i seperate the get property part on a diffrent worldload thingy or keep it there

[wheat condor]

get property can be called only on a specific entity

you need an event or some function to get the entity first

[cursive fog]

This?

[wheat condor]

no

you have to get the entity somewhere

[prisma shard]

"properties":{"mba:light":{"type": "int","range":[0, 15],"default":0}}

Here

Like this u define property inside entity json

[wheat condor]

for example

const entities = dimension.getEntities()
const entity = entities[0]

[cursive fog]

Alr have that on my player.json(pardon me for the tree editor)

[prisma shard]

{
"filters": {
"test": "light_level",
"value": 0
},
"add": {
"component_groups": ["light_level:0"]
}
U can then change the property using event trigger

Okay nice

[snow knoll]

But, everyone, the most important thing is probably that he doesn't even need the entity property

He isn't interacting with anything outside of scripts, so he could just use a dynamic property instead of editing the player file and wasting one of only 32 properties

[cursive fog]

If possible can i use scoreboard on this?

Been thinking of that for a while but yeah
Besides that the vd:shooting property is alr reused twice

[prisma shard]

So then because your setting property on player,
U should get player:

const player = world.getPlayers()[0].getProperty("b")

[distant tulip]

uh? no?
getProperty is not a function, that throw an error before comparing the values

[safe stream]

Why do we not get the Player object in params

[cursive fog]

I also have a trigger to change the entity property inside ac

[prisma shard]

getProperty does not exist on world, It does exist on entity,

[open urchin]

the join event is triggered before the player entity is spawned

Player represents an entity

[prisma shard]

Use playerSpawn

[cursive fog]

Wait guys
does getDynamicProperty work on world?

[prisma shard]

Yes

[wheat condor]

becouse join is when the player is connecting to the server but its not an entity yet

[distant tulip]

my point still stand

[cursive fog]

Alr ill try that

[safe stream]

i see thanks guys

[snow knoll]

Have you seen the documentation?
Its all there

[prisma shard]

Wdym? You do remember you did that in ur Light level detection and it's done by defining the properties on the entity json

Oh if u mean world.getProperty is not a thing, Oh yes yeah

[distant tulip]

yes

[safe stream]

the day we get dynamic properties on blocks

im so tired of setting world dynamic properties with xyz as an alternative

[prisma shard]

lol for real

[cursive fog]

Im confused rn there are 2 Property things
One on entity and one on world class
Idk which one to follow lol

[safe stream]

properties are controlled by behaviour (you need to define them) and they can only have the same type of data

whereas dynamic properties can be defined via script directly without touching json files

[cursive fog]

Hmmm

[prisma shard]

Please don't get confused of getProperty with getDyanmicProperty, they are different.
getProperty only exist for Entity class, And on the other hand, getDynamicProperty exists both on entity and world.

[distant tulip]

"one on world class"?
where?

[cursive fog]

getDynamicProperty i guess

[prisma shard]

.

[cursive fog]

Alr my bad for bothering yall guys😭
Just one last which one works better?

[snow knoll]

There's also maps

[prisma shard]

Dynamic property

[safe stream]

its a cached variable tho

not reliable

[prisma shard]

Yeah

[snow knoll]

Depends on what you need it for tho

[safe stream]

usually dynamic properties are used for long term data storing

or at least multi session

[prisma shard]

Yea

[snow knoll]

Or just an alternative to using properties cause many dont like to tamper with the player.json

[safe stream]

what

[prisma shard]

Guys, One question,
I've rarely seen people using the .unsubscribe in events. What use case it could be used for?

[safe stream]

i actually dont know what is that for (or at least its practical purpose)

[prisma shard]

Yep me too

[round bone]

Stops listening to an event.

[safe stream]

same as world shutdown

[distant tulip]

they are different thing
getProperty
accessing static properties provided from the entity file itself in the entity definition in its behavior pack
getDynamicProperty
accessing script defined properties stored in the entity, world, or item, those properties are unique and linked to each add-on uuid and can't be accessed by other add-ons
so it depend on your use case

[prisma shard]

Oh, But I've seen using unsubsribe after a subscribe, But it does run everytime.

const callback = world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.subscribe((arg) => {
                const { source, projectile } = arg;
                const hitInfo = arg.getEntityHit();
                if (hitInfo?.entity && source instanceof Player && projectile === entity) {
                    const shooter = source;
                    const target = hitInfo.entity;
                    const projectileType = projectile.typeId;
                world.afterEvents.projectileHitEntity.unsubscribe(callback);
                }
            });

Such as I have this code, this does run everytime player hits a entity, and the projectilesHitEntity event does run, but it's unsubscribing in this code..?

[round bone]

Yep, it just stops listening to this event. I do not recommend relaying on dynamic event listeners, unless you know how to deal with them.

[distant tulip]

there is not a lot of good use cases really

[safe stream]

does it just kill that firing?

[distant tulip]

maybe let say a welcome message to the world host?
you can sub to player spawn and unsub in the first event

or a debug thing that only need to run once you actually need it

[distant tulip]

yes
it is just like when you unsub from a YouTube channel to stop getting notifications

[round bone]

Subsingle is a good example, but except of this I can't think of any others.

I think discord.js uses unsubscribe for once listeners.

[distant tulip]

worldLoad

i don't think it actually matter

[round bone]

Yup, it's also probably an event that's immediately unsubscribed inside a C++ code.

[distant tulip]

yeah

[round bone]

I think it's a very little important detail that can make a difference, but in very rare cases.

I used unsubscribe in @minecraft/server only once in my entire life, but it actually can lead to optimization at few percents, so I still like it.

[distant tulip]

i mean yeah, but there is probably no performance impact if the event stop in the game code itself.

i mean for worldLoad

[safe stream]

getAttachedBlocks() does not return the block that was pushed?

[round bone]

Oh, I talk about the performance that multiple listeners may have impact on.

[distant tulip]

yeah when you have subscribe in a loop or a scope that execute more than once, unsubscribe is very necessary

[round bone]

Yup.

[cursive fog]

Im gonna loose my sanity

How do you make a script single use only

Like

When i use item

It triggers only once

Then after i use the item again it triggers once too

[sly valve]

There should be a property isFirstUse iirc.
Just do

(event) => {
  if (!event.isFirstUse) return;
}

[thorn flicker]

you are thinking of IsFirstEvent and i dont think that's what they are talking about, they said use not interact..

[cursive fog]

Ill try

[thorn flicker]

that wont work.

[cursive fog]

Yep doesnt work

Got any idea

I am loosing my sanity man💔

[thorn flicker]

almost like I said that

[cursive fog]

So...

Scripts always run non stop?

[thorn flicker]

I think you are misunderstanding something, can you share the code that you are working with

[cursive fog]

Alr w8

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

const TARGET_ITEM = "vdg:coltwalker"  // target item ID
const DAMAGE_PER_USE = 1    // durability consumed per use



world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {
  const { source: player, itemStack } = ev
  if (!player || !itemStack) return
  if (itemStack.typeId !== TARGET_ITEM) return

  let useitem = world.getDynamicProperty('vd:shooting') == false

  const dur = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:durability")
  if (!dur) return
  if (useitem) return
  if (dur.damage == 12) system.run(() => player.runCommand('function coltwalker/empty'))

  dur.damage += DAMAGE_PER_USE
  const container = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container
  if (!container) return
  container.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, itemStack)
});

console.warn

[thorn flicker]

its because of system.run

[cursive fog]

@thorn flicker i just need it to run once

[cursive fog]

The runcommand?

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[cursive fog]

Basically it deals damage to durability of an item

The run command is for replace item

[thorn flicker]

im using your code and it seems to work.

it doesnt trigger more than once

[cursive fog]

@thorn flicker yo sorry for ping
I removed the system part but uhh it started screaming at me

[cursive fog]

W8 hold on

[thorn flicker]

yeah because you didnt remove the arrow function.

and nvm about the system.run thing I was wrong.

[cursive fog]

I only need it to deal damage on a item once

[thorn flicker]

yeah you dont need to ping me, im right here with you lol

[floral timber]

could you elaborate on what do you expect and what is happening?

[thorn flicker]

let useitem = world.getDynamicProperty('vd:shooting') == false

[cursive fog]

If i kept using the item the durability still goes down

Thats why im using entity properties so that when the AC triggers the false part
It returns and stop the damage on the item

Ohhh

[thorn flicker]

dude

this is why i cant help people in the morning

i keep messing up

[cursive fog]

No worries

[floral timber]

you need to set dp if it doesnt exist... and if it does return early.

sorry wrong reply

[cursive fog]

Ye basically ive been trying to deal damage on a item durability
But i only need it to trigger ONCE when i use the item

[thorn flicker]

np

it triggers once for me though

[floral timber]

you mean, you want to just make the item one time use?

[cursive fog]

Im using AC and property to make sure it returns but doesnt seem to work

[thorn flicker]

what does the function do?

[cursive fog]

No i mean
The item can be used multiple times

But the durability only deals 1 damage when i kept using the script

[cursive fog]

Replace item

[sly valve]

You dont need a function for.it

Its not accurate to use it

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[floral timber]

hmm gotcha, why not use itemStartUse

and decrease durability on stopUse?

[sly valve]

Or directly on StartUse

[thorn flicker]

oh is this a chargeable item?

[cursive fog]

Seems to work

[cursive fog]

Kinda

[thorn flicker]

either it is or not lol

[sly valve]

Isnt there a component to make it chargeable?

[thorn flicker]

shooter component

[cursive fog]

My bad @distant tulip 😭😭 i kept going around the entity property part

[cursive fog]

I dont use minecraft shooter

[thorn flicker]

why would it trigger multiple times then

[floral timber]

there's eat or edible component ig? use modifier things..

[distant tulip]

no worry

[thorn flicker]

oh, you are using the food component?

[sly valve]

"Hell yeah, Im about to eat this revoler"

[floral timber]

sure, sounds good

[thorn flicker]

in that case I can see how its being used multiple times

[cursive fog]

I tried it once it wont go down

[cursive fog]

Anyways how do i implement this?

[floral timber]

runInterval inside start use, set interval 20 ticks, stop it on stopUse

it should work

or change ticks according to what fits

[cursive fog]

I think this works? Idk

[floral timber]

NOO!

[thorn flicker]

or just do this

if (player.start === undefined) {
player.start = true
// damage stuff...

system.runTimeout(() => { player.start = undefined }, 20)
}

just by creating a temporary property on the player

[sly valve]

Or use a Map/Set

But idk if theres a big difference

[floral timber]

anybody's ready to spoon feed?

Minato?

[thorn flicker]

I am spoon feeding

kinda

[cursive fog]

Naww😭

[sly valve]

I would help but I cant code on phone

[sly valve]

Open wide, here comes the plane~

[cursive fog]

Good thing yeah

[floral timber]

oh you dont know what ive gone through
ive coded on this text field right here on discord

[cursive fog]

Coding on phone is hell

[sly valve]

Hell, I hope you get well soon

[floral timber]

im, been a while

[thorn flicker]

this is why I would wait until I could get a computer if I were in your shoes

[sly valve]

Quick Reminder, people use Text Editors in Light mode to code whole Applications

[cursive fog]

@floral timber where can i find the itemStartUse on the documentations?

[sly valve]

on world and afterEvents

On the official docs, or any else

[floral timber]

id like to meet 'em someday

[sly valve]

Better if you dont

[cursive fog]

These i guess

[sly valve]

I remember when I was new to JS and had lots of issues with brackets
(I made my command handler with 30 statements and no if else)

[thorn flicker]

lmao

[sly valve]

If you go down to the bottomy you can see the world constant

[summer path]

hey does anyone wanna help me out

[sly valve]

Btw what the °=° is LinearSpine

[thorn flicker]

explain what you need help with

[sly valve]

Depends

[summer path]

i'm trying to make a script that tellraws everyone when someone dies

like player1 has died

[sly valve]

Use world.sendMessage

And theres an event if a entity dies

[thorn flicker]

and use EntityDie

[sly valve]

Just filter either if its typeId, instance (or my thr filter object) if its an player

[thorn flicker]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.2.0/classes/EntityDieAfterEvent.html

[summer path]

no i want it to show entities to

[sly valve]

Entities cant see messages

Only Players

[thorn flicker]

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(data => {

}, {entityTypes: 'minecraft:player'})

[sly valve]

If you want to also Trigger if a entities dies, remove the filter

[summer path]

no like player1 was slain by zombie etc.

[sly valve]

Okay then it may be a little more work

[summer path]

i dont have anyone to test with thats why

[thorn flicker]

its just getting the entity that killed them...

[sly valve]

You need definitions of death messages with placeholders like

{
  "entityAttack": "%player% got killer by %attacker%"
}

A parser to insert the names

[summer path]

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

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(event => {
  const victim = event.deadEntity;
  const attacker = event.damageSource?.damagingEntity;
  
    world.sendMessage(`§c${victimName} §7was killed by §a${attackerName}`);
  });

would this work

[sly valve]

And a manager/handler to show the correct message

It would, but only for entity attacks

If you also want like falldamage, fire damage or explosion, you need a lottle bit more

[summer path]

would my code3 work rn?

[sly valve]

If you only want to make it being used on entity attacks, yeah

[summer path]

okay

i want to know if it lodas correctly too but idk how to do that

i do /reload all and reload but it does nothing

[cursive fog]

Yup this should work

[sly valve]

Do /reload all, check your manifest or your file if it even gets executen

[summer path]

[sly valve]

Also check for the log, maybe errors appear

[summer path]

thats my manifest

[sly valve]

our manifest is wrong

[summer path]

:c

same issue as last time

[sly valve]

@thorn flicker Can you help him? Kinda hard on phone

[summer path]

i just cant do this properly

🙏

[sly valve]

Same as my life, no worries, the great VOIDCELL will help you

[summer path]

I hope

What's wrong with it tho?

[sly valve]

https://tools.pixelpoly.co/manifest-generator

Void took too long, here

[summer path]

Already used that

[sly valve]

Its missing the script module and more

[summer path]

Oh how do i add that

the metadata thingy?

[sly valve]

No

Wait

Use this

[thorn flicker]

my bad

[sly valve]

No worries

Make sure your main/core file is named main.js

[thorn flicker]

latest stable is 2.1.0

[sly valve]

And remove the capability

script_eval

lol

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[summer path]

dyk how i can see if it loaded?

i got no 1 to test w/ rn

[thorn flicker]

you'll have to wait until you can test because im busy, it seems good though.

[sly valve]

-# you need to re-add the addon, because we changed the UUID of it

[summer path]

i didn't

same uui

should i change it

[sly valve]

But we added things to it

So re-add it

[summer path]

is it needed

ok

[sly valve]

So it will work properly

Gtg now

[thorn flicker]

not sure if version is required

[summer path]

idm

[sly valve]

Never share your UUID, those are used to estimate your location

[summer path]

oh

[sly valve]

Xd just joking

[summer path]

💀

[thorn flicker]

what the hell

[thorn flicker]

I was going to say

[summer path]

but like idc

[thorn flicker]

that doesnt make sense

lmfao

[summer path]

its not like that they gonna swat me

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


world.sendMessage('hi')
world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(event => {
  const victim = event.deadEntity;
  const attacker = event.damageSource?.damagingEntity;
  
    world.sendMessage(`§c${victimName} §7was killed by §a${attackerName}`);
  });

[sly valve]

Things we dont understand does not make sense

[summer path]

how do i make the hi happen when i join

or something

so i know it loaded

[sly valve]

They wont, but I do

[thorn flicker]

things that dont make sense, dont make sense

[sly valve]

Use the even if a Player joins

playerJoin or playerSpawn

[sly valve]

Flat earth-

[thorn flicker]

wdym the earth is flat

100%

[summer path]

after events or

[sly valve]

Finally someone who is awake too

[thorn flicker]

yes

[sly valve]

Yes

[thorn flicker]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn

there's a property to check if the player has spawned by joining

[sly valve]

initialSpawn ig

[thorn flicker]

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

[thorn flicker]

yes

[summer path]

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


world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe(event => {
  world.sendMessage('test')
})
world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(event => {
  const victim = event.deadEntity;
  const attacker = event.damageSource?.damagingEntity;
  
    world.sendMessage(`§c${victimName} §7was killed by §a${attackerName}`);
  });

[sly valve]

Yes

[thorn flicker]

check for the initialspawn property

[sly valve]

That will now tell the whole world "test"

[summer path]

can this just be because i'm on linux

[thorn flicker]

if (event.initialSpawn) { world.sendMessage('test') }

[sly valve]

You wont see the message because microsft is weird

If someone differently joins, youll see it

[summer path]

and i cant get anyone to

let me check if it shjows on lan

[sly valve]

You could make it delayed

[thorn flicker]

well actually you wont see the message sent because you wont be loaded in time.

[sly valve]

Load FASTER

But we are pros ✓
It will work, no need to test it

[summer path]

is there a chat event to test it?

[thorn flicker]

you have to find a way to check if the player is loaded in or not

or delay the message

[sly valve]

Kinda, #debug-playground

[summer path]

i DONT know js

[sly valve]

Learn it

[thorn flicker]

you should learn js then, kinda useful

ngl

[sly valve]

system.runTimeout

[sly valve]

Best thing that happend to me right after my depressions

[summer path]

how long

[sly valve]

Hmmm

Depends

[summer path]

10 i g

[thorn flicker]

heres the thing everyone has different loading times.

[summer path]

is this ticks

[sly valve]

So...

Lets make it more advanced

After the join wait untill the player pressed any button

And then send the message

[summer path]

tbh i think this is all because the addon isnt loaded or some silly thing

[thorn flicker]

eh

there has to be a better way.

[sly valve]

Nope

[sly valve]

No...

[thorn flicker]

yes...

ive used an addon recently that has done this

[sly valve]

iie void-san... iie

[sly valve]

Hmm

[summer path]

let me copy some old code

[sly valve]

But alr ill take it❤️

[thorn flicker]

lol

[summer path]

@thorn flicker Is there an autocomplete

[thorn flicker]

are you using Vscode?

you can install npms to get autocompletions

[summer path]

Yes

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe(ev => {

  if (message === '!spawn') {
    ev.cancel = true;

    sender.runCommandAsync('tp @s 0 100 0');

help someone fr

[floral timber]

dont use AI if you dont know what you are doing

[summer path]

OK

thats true but idk docxs

[thorn flicker]

-# dont use ai period

[summer path]

i dont know how to get autocomplete

idk what im doign

[floral timber]

for starters, change runCommandAsync to runCommand

it got depreciated a long while ago

[summer path]

ok did that

the event still doesnt cancel tho

[deep quiver]

Install the npm packages

[summer path]

ok

ohi dont even have node

Ok i got it

but how do i actually get chat messages

```Anyone know why this isnt working? it wont even log the data.persistentId, however its working in other packs im lost rn

[thorn flicker]

what the hell

[dawn zealot]

?

[floral timber]

where is beforeEvents defined?

[dawn zealot]

import { beforeEvents } from "@minecraft/server-admin";

[thorn flicker]

ohhh

[summer path]

guys help me

[dawn zealot]

why dont you just use / commands

[summer path]

how do i

when was it added

[dawn zealot]

awhile ago

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

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ customCommandRegistry }) => {
    // Register the custom command
    customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(
        {
            name: "lab:home",
            description: "Create a home.",
            permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.Any,
            mandatoryParameters: [
            ],
        },
        (origin) => {
            system.runTimeout(() => {
                create_waypoint(origin.sourceEntity)
            })
        });
});

[summer path]

bru..

[thorn flicker]

its in stable too

unlike chatsend

[dawn zealot]

😭

chatSend is too far gone atp

[summer path]

yoo

ok

worked

[dawn zealot]

yk instead of sending us the error you could read it and fix it 😭

[summer path]

true

i had to reload all

i'm just a noob fr

[dawn zealot]

yeah

reload all for taht stuff

anything for custom components

[thorn flicker]

just the registration stuff.

[summer path]

now i have to figure out how to give someone a random kit when they die..

w/ random enchants

i'm SO cooked

idek how to get death

[thorn flicker]

not if you learn javascript and then the api

[summer path]

is there some simple kit system i can copy from

[thorn flicker]

whats the point being here if you dont want to learn

[dawn zealot]

learning is an option too

[thorn flicker]

lol

[summer path]

cant

like too lazy

maybe /replace item but how would i enchant it

[thorn flicker]

too lazy

whats the point getting into this then

[summer path]

idk

[floral timber]

ofc, how could I beat nanny Minato? (lol)

[sly valve]

Use sender.teleport instead kf runCommandAsnyc ir any of that.
Also why making jt that complex?
Minecraft added custom commands, use them

[thorn flicker]

he knows now

[sly valve]

Read the docs

[sly valve]

He will forget soon

[midnight ridge]

is there a way to feed animals without interacting with them just by using script api?

[thorn flicker]

for taming or breeding?

you can get the tameable component on entities

[midnight ridge]

breeding

[thorn flicker]

you cant get the breedable component though

[midnight ridge]

i tried using /event but theres nothing called breeding

[thorn flicker]

because there's no event for it

[midnight ridge]

sooo how does cow starts breeding when with interact with them using some food?

[thorn flicker]

minecraft:behavior.breed

[midnight ridge]

soo if i want to make my breeding event i need to modifie the cow behavoir?

[thorn flicker]

there's no way you can modify it so you can trigger it when you want to.

[midnight ridge]

breeding mobs using script sames imposible for now?

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[midnight ridge]

ty

[tidal wasp]

how would i take 1 item from the player's mainhand and replace it with another item?

[sharp elbow]

It is good to know and be able to apply both patterns.

[untold magnet]

detecting the potion type is still beta right?

[sharp elbow]

Have you looked into the OLOO pattern?

interface MyObject {
  a: number;
  b: number;
}

const myObjectProto = {
  sum(this: MyObject) {
    return this.a + this.b;
  }
}
const myObject: MyObject & typeof myObjectProto = Object.create(myObjectProto, {
  a: 1,
  b: 2
});

myObject.sum() // returns 3

[dusky flicker]

not a bad option

hadnt see it yet

[dusky flicker]

by the way @slow walrus what chars exactly the id of a scriptevent doesnt handle?

im testing with some arbitrary numbers and it's working

seems to be sending and receiving the bytes correctly

on the id

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



world.afterEvents.playerButtonInput.subscribe(ev => {


    const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(128);
    const view = new DataView(buffer);
    for (let i = 0; i < 64; i++) view.setUint16(i * 2, Math.random() * 0xffff, true);
    for (let i = 0; i < 128; i++) if (view.getUint8(i) == 0) view.setUint8(i, 1);
    const arr = new Uint16Array(buffer);
    const id = String.fromCharCode(...arr);
    console.warn("Sending this shit\n", arr);
    system.sendScriptEvent("test:" + id, '');
})```
the sender one

```ts
import {system} from "@minecraft/server";

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(e => {
  const splitted = e.id.split(':')[1];
  const arr = new Uint16Array(splitted.length);
  for(let i = 0, j = splitted.length; i < j; i++) {
    arr[i] = splitted.charCodeAt(i);
  }
  console.warn('Received\n', arr);  
  
});```

the receiver one

just made to console the id instead

it seems that as long as the chars are not control ones, its safe

well, actually only bytes 10 and 13 are causing troubles

only, 0, 10 and 13

i aint got idea of why the fuck 10 and 13 cannot be sent on the ID

anyways, anything that isnt these 3 work. Using something like base32767 would be enough probably

10 is line feed and 13 is cariage return

i thing that might be the problem

yeah, \n and \r are the only problems

[slow walrus]

what the helly

[dusky flicker]

i tested with base32768, no problems at all to send bytes

[slow walrus]

bruh

ig navi changed that as well without telling me

[dusky flicker]

just by avoiding 0xA and 0xD and obviously 0x0 can be enough

[slow walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/red-ball-angry-angry-fist-grr-gif-26521101

[sly valve]

OLOO seems interesting

Is it good?

[sharp elbow]

It's all right. I have yet to build anything big using that pattern, mostly because TypeScript is really pissy about typings and prototype chains.

TS would much rather you use classes.

[dusky flicker]

im almost switching to f# due to the lunatic type system ts has

and because f# is purely functional and transpiles to js

so it would be pretty fun to learn more abort really FP languages

[stray marsh]

Dang 99999 msgs

[simple zodiac]

I mean, js based their whole inheritance system on prototypes. The pattern is sort of built into the language already.

[viral wigeon]

hey i left scripting api for a while

does someone know if typescript is supported natively now?

or still have to compile

[vast grove]

Still have to compile

Getting MC to natively support TS won't happen.

Since TS is it's own thing...

[viral wigeon]

?

ts is literally just a superset of javascript

ts is javascript but with better typings

it shouldn't be that hard to implement

idk why they haven't done it yet

[dusky flicker]

well, its

its hard as fuck

and that isnt Mojang job to create a language for us

anyways, one of the reasons why its hard is because js works focusing on the duck typing and being fully dynamic

if making it run ts natively, it woukd have to be another runtime than js

actually ts hasn't a real runtime anywhere you find

node, bun and deno internally build the ts code to js and then run it

ts is just a language that transpiles, it doesn't have its own runtime

[dusky flicker]

so reimplement alot of shit, work in other optimizations, since js tries to optimize as hell to handle any types, write new errors, etc etc

i think the harder would be to implement new optimizations and male the runtime

[floral timber]

I got myself a new lil sla-, uh, I mean friend. yay!!

[remote oyster]

Because TypeScript isn’t something you run directly, it’s a language that gets transpiled (converted) to JavaScript before execution. The Minecraft Bedrock engine only runs JavaScript at runtime, so there’s no real benefit in adding native TypeScript support. Running TypeScript directly would require embedding a compiler or interpreter in the engine, which would be less efficient and add unnecessary complexity. That’s why it’s not implemented, and likely never will be.

[honest spear]

https://tenor.com/view/cristiano-ronaldo-drinking-meme-gif-23698215

Such a good time reading it

Also i want to say the TS is not just superset as it contains things like Enums that are not JS feature at all so it requires transformation steps and thats already part of the compiler, its not just that you can drop types

[round bone]

Pretty useless feature, when you can just compile it to JavaScript.

[fickle dagger]

is it possible to change the filepath of a particle texture using js?

[prisma shard]

No, It's not possible to change path of any stuff inside a addon using JS, but you can setFloat of the particle's MolangVariableMap and change it's color

[fickle dagger]

aw damn, guess that leaves me with the other method of using offset on texture uv

atleast that's possible, right?

[prisma shard]

huh

idk

[fickle dagger]

gotta find out myself

or maybe docs has anything about it

actually yeah it's possible

[prisma shard]

how

that could be texture editor

and just moving the uv possible

[fickle dagger]

using variables on the particles, even if we can't set the offset directly, it should be possible to offset by multiplying the values of it
example :

x = 16
y = 16 * v.uvOffset```

[prisma shard]

interesting

men I know nothing about Particles

someone teach me

[fickle dagger]

it's like an entity that's also not an entity

and it can store variables inside

[fickle dagger]

yeah yeah something like this

[prisma shard]

What would be a good offset value for setting camera to third person over shoulder of player?

Like a bit up and right over shoulder

[round bone]

Depends on what do you mean by JS.

[prisma shard]

oh yes

external js script

[elder spindle]

Do I have to pre-register a dynamic property or can I just set a value to one and it will automatically register?

[prisma shard]

How do i get variable list for vanilla particles?

world.getDimension("overworld").spawnParticle("minecraft:note_particle", loc, new MolangVariableMap().setColorRGB("variable.note_color", { red: Math.random(), green: Math.random(), blue: Math.random() }));```

For example this code, How does one get that "variable.note_color" exists?

[open urchin]

look at the particle definition https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/tree/main/resource_pack/particles

[prisma shard]

Thank you

[prisma shard]

Why does the particle look black when I set RGB values?

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        world.getDimension("overworld")
            .spawnParticle(
                "minecraft:note_particle",
                { x: player.location.x, y: player.location.y + 2, z: player.location.z },
                new MolangVariableMap().
                    setColorRGB("variable.note_color",
                        {
                            red: 1,
                            green: 0,
                            blue: 0
                        }));
    }
})```

my code

The particles look black instead of red :/

[jolly citrus]

does bds script api have the ability to intercept entity name tag related packets yet

last time i checked was like a year ago and based on what packet events it could listen to back then there wasn’t an ability to do so

[open urchin]

you're setting the third argument of spawnParticle to the result of setColorRGB which is undefined
you should be setting it to the MolangVariableMap

const variables = new MolangVariableMap();
variables.setColorRGB("variable.note_color", {
    red: 1,
    green: 0,
    blue: 0
});


spawnParticle(
    "minecraft:note_particle",
    { x: player.location.x, y: player.location.y + 2, z: player.location.z },
    variables
);

btw getting all players and the overworld dimension every time the interval runs is unnecessary and could cause lag

[jolly citrus]

i’d hope the list’s been updated since

[drifting raven]

What format version should I use?

"format_version" tells the Minecraft API which version of the add-on system to use for a specific file. It's sadly not as simple as matching the game version however, since some systems are not updated very frequently. You may have to use an old format version with them!

You can read more about format versions here: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/guide/format-version.html

Oct 5, 2025, 12:02 AM

[elder spindle]

I have a custom command, however its showing two versions of the same command. Is there anyway to hide the one with a prefix?

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

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(init => {
    const rankUpCommand = {
        name: "up:rankup",
        description: "Rank Up",
        permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.Any
    };
    init.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(rankUpCommand, rankUp);
});

function rankUp(origin, entities) {
    world.sendMessage("Rank Up!");
    return {
        status: CustomCommandStatus.Success
    };
}

[prisma shard]

Thank you very much

system.runInterval(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {

        const dim = player.dimension;

        const variables = new MolangVariableMap();
        variables.setColorRGB("variable.note_color", {
            red: Math.random(),
            green: Math.random(),
            blue: Math.random()
        });

        dim.spawnParticle(
            "minecraft:note_particle",
            { x: player.location.x, y: player.location.y + 2, z: player.location.z },
            variables
        );
    }
})

And yeah i knew about calling the overworld dimension everytime

What does setVector3 do? does that set the particle's location? but don't we determine particle's location already when we spawn it?

[sharp elbow]

Read the comment provided to it. It says it stores the components of the vector to a struct of the given name

Something like this IIRC:

variables.setVector3("variable.foo", {x:1, y: 2, z: 3});
// variable.foo.x = 1
// variable.foo.y = 2
// variable.foo.z = 3

[kind zenith]

it is possible to get light level by entity with api?

[prisma shard]

If you meant get light level "emmited" by the entity:
Dimension.getLightLevel(entity.location)
The method is available in latest Beta API module.

[drowsy scaffold]

how do I make new potions

with newest API version

[prisma shard]

Also uh can anyone send me a full Form template? I have never touched UI stuff, So i want to do tinkering with it.

[round bone]

You can't hide it.

[prisma shard]

same thing happens here, I thought it's a bug

[elder spindle]

Eeek, okay. I guess I just gotta hope and prey that they allow us to do it in the future

[round bone]

They might allow it in a future, but if you really want to get rid of this - use Endstone (if it's a server network) or stick with ! prefixed commands.

[kind zenith]

thx

[round bone]

It's for the case when 2 add-ons have the same command name, then /thiscommand is hidden and you only see options with /prefix:thiscommand.

[drowsy scaffold]

Potions.resolve(new PotionEffectType(`instant_healing`), new PotionDeliveryType())

How do use this to make potions? can I even get documentation for these?

[wary edge]

Wdym?

[drowsy scaffold]

they changed the signature for making potions and it's weird because you would think both of those would be enums but they're classes

[honest spear]

Not sure if thats fixed but type instance should be unique there should be no way to create custom instances as the venilla should define them

Try looking for something like EffectTypes.get()

or something like that

[prisma shard]

Bump

[shut citrus]

minecraft bedrock as usual

[lethal bramble]

is there a way to synchronously run jobs? for example

system.runJob(job1)
system.runJob(job2)

I want to run job2 after job1 has finished. is there a way to achieve this?

[sudden verge]

call system.runJob(job2) at the end of job1 function?

[lethal bramble]

in this scenario i cant really do that

[sudden verge]

i think theres a way to see if a job is still running or not

i dont entirely remember tho

[lethal bramble]

it only returns a number for clearing the job

[sudden verge]

but if you can do that, then in job2 check if the job1 has finished or not each tick then only really start once it has

[prisma shard]

https://github.com/IMvampireXD/Script-API-Utilities/blob/main/src/utilsLib/runJob-Utils.js

Use my code
Using this class, you can manage runJobs easily

[prisma shard]

I made a class to detect runJob progress and detect when it finishes

[lethal bramble]

thanks

[lethal bramble]

is there a typescript version? it doesnt really matter, but im just asking

because this seems useful

[shut citrus]

What different between runjob, async/await and promise?

[lethal bramble]

system.runJob is specific to the Minecraft Scripting API, and queues a generator to be run whenever free time is available each tick.

However, a Promise is a ECMAScript feature that returns a value, but not always instantly. it is basically what an asynchronous function returns.

[shut citrus]

can't even believe ai

[lethal bramble]

what?

thats not ai

[prisma shard]

Sadly no I don't have a typescript version, haha
But you can use a online compiler for JavaScript to TypeScript

[distant tulip]

uh, that's not how that work

[hybrid bobcat]

By the way, do you know how to make entities despawn based on distance? I used minecraft:despawn, with min max, but they never despawn, no matter how far away I get or what value I give it, It wont despawn

nope, sorry

Yeah its set to increase speed even if the speed isnt qhats defined lol youll havw to have something to trigfer the speed decreing

probably the issue with malicious code

Can someone please help me make a simple script that detects if a Minecart “dies” and if so say a message in chat. For the life of me I can’t get it to work….

I’ve tried almost everything I can think of including just detecting when the item spawns… but no matter what I can’t make it work

[prisma shard]

show script

[gusty bramble]

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

const triggeredItems = new Set();

world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe(ev => {
  const entity = ev.entity;
  if (!entity) return;

  if (entity.typeId !== "minecraft:item") return;

  const itemComp = entity.getComponent("minecraft:item");
  if (!itemComp || !itemComp.itemStack) return;

  if (itemComp.itemStack.typeId !== "minecraft:minecart") return;

  if (triggeredItems.has(entity.id)) return;
  triggeredItems.add(entity.id);

  const loc = entity.location ?? { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 };
  const dim = entity.dimension;
  if (!dim) return;

  dim.runCommandAsync(`say Minecart item spawned at ${loc.x.toFixed(1)} ${loc.y.toFixed(1)} ${loc.z.toFixed(1)}`);

  system.runTimeout(() => triggeredItems.delete(entity.id), 20 * 10);
});```

That’s the item based one..

[prisma shard]

use entityDie event?

also runCommandAsync dont exist

Lol i didnt have typings installed for UI module and i was like why isnt typings showing

[gusty bramble]

I tried that and nothing happened. My only guess would be Minecarts don’t really “die”? Idk I also considered just tracking if the UUID exists and when it doesn’t it died but that seemed cringe

[prisma shard]

Hm makes sense why would minecart die

why dont you check if it is alive/valid

and when it is not valid anymore, You can detect that it was removed

entity.isValid

How to create a backpack (no ui and use dynamic property), if you mine a block it will automatically put items in the backpack.

[warped kelp]

Good evening, I'm using a command to detect entities several blocks higher than the player/entity but it seems to be a bit inefficient. Is there anyway I could use scripts to make it easier?

Command in quesiton:
/execute if entity @e[type=!player] at @e[type=!player,dy=3] run tp @s ~~3~

It's very simple using dy to detect a different entity's Y level to run a command/function

[dusky flicker]

probably uses "ai" for propaganda, or this one really does use ai because doesn't know how to write a transpiler

but the normal process is to write all the frontend by hand

frontend i mean text relates stuff, the syntax and grammar

Help

const clamp = (value, min, max) => Math.min(Math.max(value, min), max);

I couldn't stand my ADHD confusing me with Math.max and Math.min anymore, so I created this globally

(There is no Math.clamp in javascript for some reason)

[shy leaf]

it actually exists in math module

function clampNumber(val, min, max) {
  return Math.min(Math.max(val, min), max);
}

tho its basically the same as what youre using

[distant tulip]

lol, i allways keep doing Math.clamp, Math.round

[slim forum]

Oh

Uh...

[shy leaf]

[slim forum]

[shy leaf]

[slim forum]

Yes, I use it in json
