Script API General

[shy leaf]

and its not included in the game

tho theres a standalone file

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/meta/cdn-links.html

theres a handful of stuff you can make use of for anything math

[slim forum]

Oh, then I'll keep using my little function

I have more control over it

[shy leaf]

ye

[twilit tartan]

Someoone know if is possible modify the Ui in forms, but for Add-Ons?

[honest spear]

wdym?

[twilit tartan]

Modify the UI of the forms, without using something that violates the addons rules

[honest spear]

no you can only modify the UI with JSON-UI resource pack

thats only way

[twilit tartan]

oh okay, so i need to modify vanilla files right?

[honest spear]

Well you can use addon you don't have to change vanilla ones, but yea it does override some vanilla behavior, but if done correctly then its relatively safe

Well what all of you are working on?

i wonder what kind of addons are made nowdays

[full idol]

Finally got the debugger to connect to BDS, is there any way to see which add-on is writing to dynamic properties?

Mostly for this

[distant tulip]

Run a debug profiler for each one of them

[unique apex]

did mark variants use to be writeable? whyd they change it to read only? all my favorite things are going to read only 😭 ill miss you scale component

[unique apex]

nvm i figured it out bc im cool or smth like that

Help

[prisma shard]

whats the point of using try catch if i just throw the error again 🤔

[earnest meadow]

its like "if this errors, do something"

[grand heart]

What folder to store server secrets and what format?

[shy leaf]

try catch on its own doesnt "throw"

the rest of the code will run as normal

[shy leaf]

what server secrets

[dusky flicker]

No sense, Try catches were meant to be handled

i personally prefer errors as valuesso in general i dont use try catch nor throws

throws i use just for some violation

[prisma shard]

I saw this in a script and it was stupid so i asked this

try {
   dimension.runCommand(command)
  } catch (error) {
      throw new Error(error)
  }

lmfao 😭

[shy leaf]

runCommand() doesnt throw iirc

so theyre doing that

[dusky flicker]

😢 why the hell to use try catch then?

[shy leaf]

wait

does that even

make sense

[prisma shard]

absolutely not

thats why im laughing

[shy leaf]

hold on

try catch doesnt catch warns, right?

im so confused

[dusky flicker]

it catches only "throws"

[shy leaf]

then

[shy leaf]

_ _

ok so

that just

lmao

[dusky flicker]

if nothing never throws, its never gonna be executed

[prisma shard]

yeah

[shy leaf]

i dont know if i should be laughing or be frightened

[prisma shard]

nope

we should crying

for EntityHurtBeforeEvent

[distant tulip]

Throws an exception if the command fails due to incorrect parameters or command syntax, or in erroneous cases for the command. Note that in many cases, if the command does not operate (e.g., a target selector found no matches), this method will not throw an exception.

[meager cargo]

What's wrong here?

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
  const player = event.player;
  const entity = event.target;
  if (!player || !entity) return;
  const equip = player.getComponent("minecraft:equippable");
  if (!equip) return;
  const item = equip.getEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand);
  if (
    entity.hasTag("token_17") &&
    player.hasTag("tokens_place") &&
    item?.typeId === "test:item"
  ) {
    player.dimension.runCommand("clone 227 6 234 227 6 234 232 15 210");
  }
});

[distant tulip]

does that throw error or what

[prisma shard]

wha-wha what is this

you wrote some binary

[meager cargo]

There is no error and no response.

[meager cargo]

I need clone command especially here

[distant tulip]

put some console logs around and see where does it stop

[prisma shard]

never knew about clone command, it's interesting

[prisma shard]

put a console.warn on top of runCommand line, And see if it runs

[shy leaf]

playerInteractWithEntity has itemStack property

[prisma shard]

Oh yes

[shy leaf]

try using that instead of equippable

[meager cargo]

Okay, imma try, thanks guys!

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
  const player = event.player;
  const entity = event.target;
  if (!player || !entity) return;
  const inv = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory");
  if (!inv) return;
  const container = inv.container;
  if (!container) return;

  const item = container.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);

  if (!player.hasTag("tokens_place")) {
    return;
  }
  if (!entity.hasTag("token_17")) {
    return;
  }
  if (!item) {
    return;
  }
  if (item.typeId !== "test:item") {
    return;
  }

  player.runCommandAsync("clone 227 6 234 227 6 234 232 15 210");
});

That worked (without debug messages)

[full idol]

This crash is driving me insane. This weird __clone thing happens whenever a player punches a mob, but only sometimes when the server starts. It happens 3-5 times in a row then nothing for like a day. It's exactly like this https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-bedrock-server/issues/508 but it happens on entity hit, which suggests scripting, but I've checked all addons removing one at a time, and nothing? Ideas?

Looking through the .mcstats nothing stands out when it crashes, no addon handle spikes or JS memory issues

[elder spindle]

I've got a custom slash command /mine a however it currently lets players do /mine aaaaaa which will become an issue later down the road (Prestige ranks like AA, BB, etc). Is there there any way it fails if the player does more than the 1 A?

[wary edge]

Make it an enum? Not sure what you mean.

[elder spindle]

i have different Mines: Mine A, Mine B etc, and later on I plan on adding prestige ones, so Mine AA for example. If a player currently does /mine aaaaaaa it teleports them to Mine A regardless of how many letters they add to the end. It would become an issue if a player tries to access a prestige mine, like Mine AA because it will still teleport them to Mine A, and not Mine AA

[wary edge]

Then make it an enum?

[elder spindle]

That still doesnt fix the issue im having

[wary edge]

How does it not?

Players just select the mine they want, you check if they meet the requirement, if not dont do anything.

[elder spindle]

Im trying, however it keeps accepting "aa" as "a", it seems to only be checking the first letter, so if people start doing "/mine ab" it will allow them to warp to mine a

[wary edge]

How are you parsing it?

[elder spindle]

const player = origin.sourceEntity;
        const arg = args[0];
        if (!player) {
            return { status: CustomCommandStatus.Failure };
        }
        const requested = `rank_${arg.toLowerCase()}`;
        const playerRank = player.getDynamicProperty("rank");


        if (!/^[a-z]$/.test(arg)) {
            player.sendMessage("§cInvalid mine! Example: /mine a");
            return { status: CustomCommandStatus.Failure };
        }```

[wary edge]

You just need to use Enums and hardcode it is all I'll say. Dont do this regex whatever. Just do a switch case or map to teleport.

[elder spindle]

No matter what I do, it just seems to be an issue. If I add a debug like console.warn("player entered: " + arg) it would show "Player entered a" even if the player entered aa

[wary edge]

Open a post with the full code because what you sent doesnt show the full context.

[tender pier]

Can i get some help with this?

I just changed the version to 2.2.0

I was using 1.9.0 iirc

[distant tulip]

DimensionType iirc

[rigid torrent]

How can I make something happen when an item is used on air?

itemUse does the trick

[midnight ridge]

how can i put an item in the scond hand of the player using script ?

[thorn flicker]

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

[midnight ridge]

ty

[tender pier]

Wdym?

[edgy elm]

quick question. how do you make a custom command without namespace. I've been using chatsend all along and dont know that we can now use / command without namespace.

[tidal wasp]

why is lever_selected returning undefined

[distant tulip]

cause it is not defined

lever_permutation have no getSelected function

[tidal wasp]

const leverSelected = lever_permutation.getSelected({
face,
faceLocation: relativeFaceLocation
})

is that not valid getSelected function

[distant tulip]

that's calling it

not defining it

[tidal wasp]

But I define it before I call it in the big switch case

[distant tulip]

you did not

you assingned some stuff to it

[tidal wasp]

Ok so how would I define it because im confused

[distant tulip]

not sure what it is supposed to be tbh
you are doing
const leverSelected = lever_permutation.getSelected
lever_permutation is levers.propery
and propery is new SelectionBoxes()
SelectionBoxes is imported, so i am not sure what's there

[tidal wasp]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/blocks/precise-interaction

That error has been fixed when I checked

That's where I got the class from

[inland merlin]

why doesn't the iteminventorycomponent work for shulkers?

it works for bundles and custom possibly?

[thorn flicker]

only those

yeah

[inland merlin]

dang thats annoying

how can i get the stuff inside then for now?

[open urchin]

this page has been hidden due to the bug mentioned at the top of it
the code on this page does not work

[thorn flicker]

I dont think you can, it would need to be placed.

[tidal wasp]

Is item inventory component a recent addition

[thorn flicker]

newer

but not that new

[inland merlin]

okay, thanks for letting me know, i am just trying to read the information inside a chest, so i can display the contents

of the shulker

inside a form

[distant tulip]

you are using SelectionBoxes, but calling getSelected() as if it were FaceSelectionPlains
according to the wiki
getSelected(faceLocation: Vector3, options?: { invertX?: boolean; invertY?: boolean; invertZ?: boolean }): number | string | undefined
but you are doing
const leverSelected = lever_permutation.getSelected({
face,
faceLocation: relativeFaceLocation
})

[inland merlin]

i supose i could use lore?

maybe?

[thorn flicker]

?

[inland merlin]

for the shulker inside the chest

[thorn flicker]

it wont detect it

[inland merlin]

awh dang

ok

[thorn flicker]

im pretty sure anyway.

[inland merlin]

ill test but even if it did, probably not the full list

[thorn flicker]

i doubt it would tho

[tidal wasp]

Then I haven't noticed that bug ig

[inland merlin]

nah it doesn't work lol

[tidal wasp]

Because the other 2 addons I have the use face selection planes work perfectly fine

[inland merlin]

just isn't supported for their lore

[tidal wasp]

Or does it only effect the boxes

[open urchin]

unless you're still using the v1 @minecraft/server API

[tidal wasp]

Dammit

[distant tulip]

version dependent

[inland merlin]

doesn't work you WERE right

lol

[tidal wasp]

[inland merlin]

yeah, ill just ask them to use bundles to show stuff inside them in the form

oh well

[distant tulip]

@inland merlin you can work around it by cloning the shulker and spawning it and destroying it

that should throw the items

[tidal wasp]

Is there any possible work around

[inland merlin]

oh, well its the shulker inside a chest, its not placed down

i forgot cani place the block

down?

[distant tulip]

check #1067535712372654091

[distant tulip]

you can spawn the item and kill it

[inland merlin]

ohhh hmm, so killing the shulker makes the items drop from inside it?

[distant tulip]

yes

[inland merlin]

i have never done that ever lol, so i guess i learn something new everyday

🙂

[distant tulip]

it is a survaivl thing

[inland merlin]

awhhh ok

[thorn flicker]

killing the shulker box item will drop its inventory?

[inland merlin]

cheers mate

[distant tulip]

yes

[inland merlin]

ill give this a go

[thorn flicker]

i didnt know that

[distant tulip]

not sure if it is kill or damage tho

there is a scripting resource for it

bundles too

[inland merlin]

i forget what the api uses to spawn the itemStack as an entity

please remind me, i tried looking it up, but forget where it is

something like createItemStack, or newItemStack

of the copied item

[distant tulip]

dim.spawnItem(itemStack)

[inland merlin]

oh... it must have changed because i swear it was something lese

else

for the copied itemStack shulker inside a chest

to have it spawn outside the chest

[distant tulip]

just get the item and use that

[inland merlin]

okay

[distant tulip]

get item already return a copy

[tidal wasp]

I have an absolutely diabolical work-around that involves a whole other script in a whole other addom

[inland merlin]

your own stuff, or based off of what im trying?

?

[tidal wasp]

Yes

My own stuff

[inland merlin]

this works

/damage @e 100 self_destruct

this seemed to drop the items, not kill()

for dropping the shulker contents

[inland merlin]

GOT IT WORKING THANK YOU

ill clean it up

but yeah, heck yeah ended up using the applyDamage

even better

[thorn flicker]

nice

[inland merlin]

the chestshop is insane lol im trying to make it part of a newer essentials im making

[distant tulip]

Cool

The down side is you lose the slot number

[inland merlin]

Good point, but thats alr

I mean its in order

From 0 + slot

[distant tulip]

That's good if it is 100% of the times

[inland merlin]

Seems to be so far

I get what u mean

Because im breaking the inventory out

So maybe I need to double check

[distant tulip]

Can you log date.now when you get the items and send it here?
Assuming you are using entity spawn

[inland merlin]

Yeah I stopped working it for the moment, but im curious as well

Ill send it to you to see if it comes out in order

Or random

[distant tulip]

Currently in my phone, will do when i can

[inland merlin]

Ok

[hazy kraken]

any way to cancel this form showing up? my message gets sent after the form is shown to the player

[echo tinsel]

I am using an armor stand runtime identifier and I'm wonder is it possible to destroy the armor stand item that spawns when it's broken and replace it with the entity placer item instead, without messing up the fact that it drops all the stuff it was wearing

[tidal wasp]

Whose sould do i need to sacrifice to Jeb to make this shit work

(Yes I've implemented every change suggested first)

[tidal wasp]

Im taking volunteers

Let me try 1 last thing again

[lethal bramble]

i was wondering how many people use typescript or javascript?

[cinder shadow]

I mean, everyone using typescript are also just using JavaScript

[lethal bramble]

as in, do write the typescript and then transpile, or just write javascript

[tidal wasp]

ok so aparently something is just wrong with the way im trying to grab the selection_box

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT

but something is wrong

Wait I think i might have it

It isnt the colons but they probably arent helping

[inland merlin]

U figure it out yet?

[hazy kraken]

Not yet

[inland merlin]

Check if the player has items to sell (e.g., via an if statement on itemAmounts[selectedIndex] > 0) before calling form.show(player), and only show the form if true—otherwise, just send the "no items" message immediately.

[hazy kraken]

Ahhh, thx

[tidal wasp]

With this in mind

Can someone tell why this is still returning undefined

Like I used the goddamn fix for face location and still NOTHING

And I can see the fix is pretty clearly working

[dawn zealot]

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

system.run(() => {
    beforeEvents.asyncPlayerJoin.subscribe(async (data) => {
        world.setDynamicProperty('pending_pfids', undefined)
        console.warn("test", data.persistentId)
        const name = data.name
        const pfid = data.persistentId; // This is the PlayFab ID
        const map = JSON.parse(world.getDynamicProperty('pending_pfids') ?? '{}');
        map[name] = pfid;
        console.warn(JSON.stringify(map))
        world.setDynamicProperty('pending_pfids', JSON.stringify(map));

        return Promise.resolve();
    });
})
``` anyone know why this wont get the pfid?

it works in other packs i have but not this one, its so confusing

[tidal wasp]

actually

it does work

but the hitboxes are borked to shit

and there is another block update bug

:)))))))))))))))))

[dawn zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/chaplin-gif-5692244363299847099

[inland merlin]

how do i lock chests from copper golems? for a chestshop, don't want them placing anything into them

[grand heart]

does worldLoad event triggers on /reload

[dawn zealot]

u can change what things they can open in their json

[crisp trellis]

yes from what I know

[inland merlin]

awh ok, ill have to look inside their json, was hoping there was something i could do to stop them dynamically on locations etc..

[crisp trellis]

It's really good for initializing other scripts & such

[dawn zealot]

unless u wanna /kill them in a radius there isnt really a way

[inland merlin]

dang lol, i just don't want them to be able to open them lol

like a beforeEvent or something

[crisp trellis]

like, a custom UI thingy chest-shop?

[dawn zealot]

oh wait maybe

is there a entityInteract with block event

[crisp trellis]

ye

[inland merlin]

ooooo

[dawn zealot]

then test for coppergolem

[crisp trellis]

you can cancel the event via using that too

[dawn zealot]

opening a chest

[inland merlin]

i guess i never really thought about it

[dawn zealot]

then test for the chest coords

[inland merlin]

for entities

ill check out the entityInteract as that would solve my problem

thx for letting me know

ill integrate into my existing stuff'

[dawn zealot]

i looked theres no entity interact with block event

[crisp trellis]

I'm not sure but I think there's like a feature where you can store name-data in containers

[inland merlin]

hmm

[dawn zealot]

or copy the model and texture and make a custom block chest

[crisp trellis]

custom block container / just make a custom ui system

[dawn zealot]

yeah use herobrines one

custom form shop

or just use the normal copper chest and place a barrier above it

[crisp trellis]

btw custom containers are naturally interactive with hoppers, right?

[dawn zealot]

no clue

[crisp trellis]

or do I have to toggle something

[crisp trellis]

I'm working on making copper golems auto-load cannons

if hoppers work it'll be fine.

[dawn zealot]

could just script that

cuz iron golems have a inventory component im pretty sure

so just get Mainhand

[crisp trellis]

nahnah

I made a like magazine system

[inland merlin]

i already know about herobrines chestform, its not that for my chestshop

[crisp trellis]

artillery foundation
artillery storage
artillery gun (entity)

the entity basically tests for items in the artillery storage connected to an artillery foundation

then uses them

[inland merlin]

if we place a block on top of a chest, will it block them im assuming

[crisp trellis]

very useful for auto-cannons and flak

[dawn zealot]

yeah

[crisp trellis]

had to make cooldowns for big stuff tho

[inland merlin]

ill just have to do that then lol recommend that

[crisp trellis]

I mean yeah you could just do that

brilliant

[inland merlin]

done, lol no coding needed

[crisp trellis]

not too sure if it will cancel your gui tho

cuz from what I've seen, some stuff like hoppers cancel the gui when being moved & stuff

so I'm not certain but chests might auto-close if you place a block over them.

[inland merlin]

yeah, it pretty much just cancels their using of the chest when placing a block on top if already open

the block method is the easiest method

[crisp trellis]

well it was a good idea

[inland merlin]

yeah lol

[crisp trellis]

I wonder what you're using...

gui right?

how do you make the gui open tho

[inland merlin]

actionform / modalforms for chestshop

[crisp trellis]

like how do you make the player open chests

via an item?

[inland merlin]

sign

interact

[crisp trellis]

ohh

so it is using actionforms

I am new to custom ui.json stuff

working on modular helmets rn

[crisp trellis]

figured out a way to put a custom button on screen that works

[inland merlin]

just sell for now, maybe adding a buy option from players down the road. but its gonna be part of my own essentials

[crisp trellis]

looks interesting

quite a unique UI btw

not all buttons which is hella inconvenient

mostly text is good

[inland merlin]

well, its mostly body and then the buttons down below

lies lol

[crisp trellis]

yeah and that's good

[inland merlin]

i forgot its a modalform

[crisp trellis]

I have a similar system

or well, W.I.P

[inland merlin]

lmao

[crisp trellis]

lots of bugs but it tests player inv for compatible stuff and displays it in the UI where you can select what to attach.

[inland merlin]

oh nice

[crisp trellis]

item tags are a lifesaver

love ts

[crisp trellis]

oooh

[inland merlin]

i made a system that basically copies donut smp generators/spawners system

but thats for another time lol uses herobrines stuff

[crisp trellis]

great idea implementing a number system for purchases

hella annoying in other servers where you gotta press the button 1k times for building blocks

[inland merlin]

yeah, thats why the chestshop is powerful, its also got a lock item inside the chest to protect it from players accessing

[crisp trellis]

interesting

[inland merlin]

just makes it easier, it auto places into the chest

and it doubles as a lock for other normal chests lol

not just chestshops hehe

yeah the method we figured out earlier in this chat about getting the data from the shulkers is insane lol

literally have to copy and damage the shulker as an entity, and then get each entity item information etc etc... and then populate that lol

things we do in bedrock

[crisp trellis]

I have

an 80% understanding

of what you just said

AHHH

[crisp trellis]

I have a suggestion

[inland merlin]

the shulker drops its stuff when damaged enough

applyDamage

[crisp trellis]

automate the shop system and abuse the copper clankers

[inland merlin]

extactly!!!

its actually not a bad idea to use them

to auto fill

from behind or something

[crisp trellis]

I love Minecraft

[inland merlin]

as i have landclaims/skyblock claiim protections as well

[crisp trellis]

we finally have minimum-wage 1940s j*bs

[inland merlin]

skyblock i have made has a full protection (with limits on script api)

[prisma shard]

Will adding a tickingarea load the specefic coordinates or will load the entire chunk? In case of loading the chunk, Do i have to add tickingarea as a circle? What's difference between a circle ticking area and and position tickingarea? If i add the tickingarea, Then If i remove the tickingarea afterwards, Will the postion/chunk still be loaded?

[inland merlin]

lol

[crisp trellis]

chunk-based

you have a limit tho

[prisma shard]

Are you sure

[crisp trellis]

I think it was 5

[prisma shard]

Ok ty

? If i add the tickingarea, Then If i remove the tickingarea afterwards, Will the postion/chunk still be loaded?

[inland merlin]

isn't the limit 10 for ticking areas or is it based on chunks

[crisp trellis]

I think both

depends how big the areas you load are

[inland merlin]

thats fair

[crisp trellis]

I used to do commands

not sure if it's a per-player limit or universal limit tho

[inland merlin]

native so much better,

if yall doing a server, endstone /c++ and python is way faster for plugins...

ninjallo has been converting all his script api to endstone python pluigins for his bedrock server and its actually much faster and better with the tps, as he has around 15-20 people on at all times

i wish we could do more with script api

[crisp trellis]

sweatshops and steel factories

[inland merlin]

hehe

if i could just do plugins for endstone i would, script api just has more people using the addons lol

[crisp trellis]

well you can do anything if you dig deep enough and write enough code to make English essays look like a single sentence

[crisp trellis]

I'm working on a tag-monitoring system for my clankers

[inland merlin]

its come along way

[crisp trellis]

basically keeps a console log of their clanker work

[inland merlin]

ooooo that seems cool

helpful

[crisp trellis]

you can divide them into groups and name the monitoring item too, I was gonna use it to determine which ones of my workers were building the shells and which ones loaded em'

gonna eventually make them operate the cannons too but maybe in the future, I'm feeling lazy.

[crisp trellis]

Minecraft is literally undergoing the industrial revolution rn lol

think about it, we got auto-crafters, clankers, and faster minecarts for item transport.

[inland merlin]

tell me more about the faster minecarts, they finally updated that? i haven't looked into that

[crisp trellis]

ye

near infinite speeds

[inland merlin]

oh wait for java only?'

or does bedrock have that option

[crisp trellis]

nah, bugrock has it too I think

[inland merlin]

lol that would be insane tbh

[prisma shard]

@crisp trellis d you know

[inland merlin]

imagine, infinite speed + the new spear coming out lol

its damage is based on speed

[crisp trellis]

now I'm curious wether the clankers can open minecart and boat chests

where are the limits

[crisp trellis]

railguns will now need a stunt-man instead of 1000 pieces of tnt lol

[inland merlin]

lol

[crisp trellis]

I think it stops

bcuz you literally are not rendering the chunk anymore

without tickingarea I don't think anything works.

[inland merlin]

it would be a bad practice to keep it loaded

[crisp trellis]

ugh, why does bugrock have to have seperate simulation render distance and block render distance

[crisp trellis]

yeah

it would be insanely laggy tbh

because the server needs to run it basically 24/7

straining background RAM

and slowing down lots of other stuff

[inland merlin]

yup

[wary edge]

Java does too.

It also makes sense for performance.

How can i get the center of a chunk

minecraft wiki says the chunk height is 384, so the Y would be middle of 384?

does the height start counting from 0 or all the way bottom...

if the X or Z of a chunk cordinates is js Math.floor(X / 16) * 16);
the center would be more 7.5 than that?

so

 { x: chunkX + 7.5, y: 64, z: chunkZ + 7.5 }

64 seemed as a placeholder i still dont know about Y

well uh is that Math.floor(X / 16)

or do i multiply again 16

[devout sandal]

Idk if this is allowed but if anyone can help with this, I am stressing..

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1425869571293839420

[spice finch]

The 384 goes from -64 to 320 so the middle would be y = 128

[snow knoll]

Now that applyImpulse is available for usage on players, what is the point in even using applyKnockback on players
Any advantages the latter has over the former?

[jolly citrus]

is there any native way to apply knockback with custom friction to mobs

[magic peak]

hi

i’m back

[frosty sierra]

is there any way that code only runs, when a special command is in the chat

[inland merlin]

applyImpulse is more precise because it accepts a full 3D vector (x, y, z coordinates in one object), allowing seamless control over all directions. In contrast, applyKnockback uses a 2D horizontal vector (x, z only) plus a separate scalar for the y (vertical) component, which can make 3D calculations feel split and less intuitive.

[snow knoll]

Understood, wasnt even my question but I never really knew what applyImpulse does better besides format and that everyone says that it is better

[jolly citrus]

i figured out a way 😆
obviously the current configuration for it sucks but tweaking it with typescript is a pain maybe i should make commands for that instead

[snow knoll]

So does that mean that using applyImpulse means that distance moved along x, y, and z would all be the same if set to the same value?
Since I know that 1 along x and z are is the same but y isn't when it comes to applyKnockback

[distant tulip]

Projectiles only

[frosty sierra]

w do you mean

[distant tulip]

The only place you can change drag, gravity and that kinda of stuff is with projectiles

[inland merlin]

Impulse is just cleaner to work with.

As a 3d object

[slow walrus]

i think you replied to the wrong message

[distant tulip]

I did 😅

Sorry

[distant tulip]

Meant to reply to this

[jolly citrus]

ehh well my workaround is good enough

so it's alright

only issue is it's a little twitchy on the hit player's end

in vanilla projectile hurt to player will not give them invulnerability ticks,
but my custom pvp script uses applyDamage to damage players and currently projectile hits also cause invulnerability for 10 ticks no matter what. is there a way around this

does healing the player a little bit afterwards still work was that ever even a thing because I remember creating a combo gamemode by giving players regeneration every tick

eh well i tried doing this

victim.getComponent("health")?.setCurrentValue((victim.getComponent("health")?.currentValue ?? 0) + 0.01);

but it doesn't seem to fix it

dont comment on the optional chaining pls im lazy 😢

[spice finch]

You can create custom commands if that's what you are looking for
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/custom-commands

[noble ibex]

Is there a way to detect an interaction between a vanilla item on a vanilla block?

[jolly citrus]

playerinteractwithblock

and then get the item they used with selectedslotindex and compare its typeid

[noble ibex]

thank you

[noble ibex]

Is it possible to put a cooldown on the interaction? It works, but it registers so many interactions so quickly that its too much.

Nevermind I got it, thanks again

[jolly citrus]

Would like an answer or any possible ideas to solve this if you have any

[inland merlin]

maybe try this for me, not sure if it works but could be something close?

directly set the player's health, trigger the hurt sound with applyDamage(0), and simulate the red flash with camera.fade?

this may not even work but the idea to avoid the invulnerability ticks...

[jolly citrus]

that will indeed work yes but i dont wanna do that because it doesnt look like normal dmg

there isnt even a red fade animation its just the hurt cam animation when u get hit + hurt color on skin

[crisp trellis]

man I wish I was good at texturing

[jolly citrus]

wait actually huh
why would you use applyDamage(0) instead of playSound? and applyDamage(0) won’t have any effect on the player

if its health doesnt lower as a result of damage apply it wont do any of the hurt events

[inland merlin]

Just guessing, I don't know what works or not

Oh lol, well ignore my a**

[jolly citrus]

haha it’s ok I appreciate you taking the time to answer anyway

[crisp trellis]

button

if only I was good at texturing 🥀

[inland merlin]

👀

[shy leaf]

i remember why i dont open ts in vscode 😭

its a prototype wtf mate

[round bone]

You probably have to add Entity class with a method inside type definitions.

[shy leaf]

yeah well i just decided to do that later

it compiles anyway

it might be annoying to catch errors though

[round bone]

Or you can simply add ts-ignore to it.

[shy leaf]

well...

[azure lichen]

What causes this problem?

[shy leaf]

youre giving more stuff than expected in the function

[jolly citrus]

What the guy above me said

You have function f that takes parameters x, y, z for example (f(x,y,z)). But when you call that function you call it with more arguments than what the function will actually make any use of e.g. f(1,2,3,4) would leave 4 unused because there’s no defined argument to catch the value of the 4th input which will result in this error

I still dont know what the difference between a parameter or argument is to this day so excuse my bad terminology 😢😢

[mystic harness]

do dynamic properties really reset after pack version update?

[jolly citrus]

Yeah they should

Or at least when using a different manifest or when the pack is applied to another world

Note that pack version means the release version of the addon, not the version of the game it is meant for

[shy leaf]

not the case for me

[fallen cape]

Only after UUID change iirc

[mystic harness]

i just changed version number and still keeps resetting my dynamic property idk why does this happen

[shy leaf]

that really shouldnt be the case

[slow walrus]

nope, dynamic properties are tied to the pack's UUID. as long as that doesn't change, they should still be there

[grand heart]

cannot kick player?

[vast grove]

One such idea that brings to mind is to send a title message, store it and read off the binding in the inventory screen.

[distant gulch]

how do i get when the is when get the how is get the when?

and why does my script api keep saying "requested version: UI: 1.3.0" and not running the script api

.....

    ]
}

[stoic coral]

🤮

I hate this method of fighting.

[jolly citrus]

Well it’s all configurable

Wdym method of fighting

Obviously im not gonna leave the knockback values at that lmao it was just to exaggerate how it differs from vanilla

[agile lance]

Could you elaborate?

[broken pawn]

i do remember if it was 2.1.0 (/server), the server-ui should be 2.0.0

starting from @minecraft/server 2.1.0

cmiiw

[distant gulch]

i tried that originally but it didnt work so i downgraded the version

[vast grove]

Nope because JSON UI is one of the things I haven't learned. But the idea is a persistent variable you set to a binding from the title binding and u read that persistent binding to change the UI. This question is more suited for #1067869374410657962 anyways.

Oh crap u already asked there

[tidal wasp]

Ah hell nah this mf pioneering the Mike Tyson space program

[jolly citrus]

its not as bad now

errrr

[warped kelp]

Is there no documents or previously answered questions about shooting extra projectiles as an attack?

[runic maple]

Srs,
Projectile damage doesn't give invulnerability ticks?
If true that would be good for my barrage punch system

[jolly citrus]

in vanilla it does not im pretty sure

nvm it does

[runic maple]

Oh ok tnx for replying though

[jolly citrus]

but i swear i get bowspammed on faster than 10 tick

[runic maple]

Lol

[shy leaf]

that happens when the arrow deals higher damage than the previous arrow

[magic peak]

Good morning everyone

[frosty sierra]

does anyone know why this is not in my behavior packs section at the preview version

[mellow socket]

Why does mc edu keep removing older script verions

[lethal bramble]

pretty sure edu was not made so people could script

[mellow socket]

Than why have it in there?

All of my old worlds keep breaking cuz mc keeps removing the older script version
And i have to use edu for work reasons

[ocean escarp]

Never done lists before in js, is this how I can format it?

[woven loom]

, not ;

[ocean escarp]

Thanks

[ocean escarp]

@woven loom
So something like this?

[woven loom]

uh in this u have to remove ,

[ocean escarp]

....

Where

Also can I even define a class inside a callback?

[woven loom]

ye

[ocean escarp]

Would you believe me if I told you I'm new to js??

[woven loom]

i have seen u here tho

[ocean escarp]

To look at maybe

Never actually wrote proper code

[woven loom]

hm

[ocean escarp]

Im just using GPT to research core concepts of the language and then trying to apply them to my own scripts (probably unsuccessfully)

[woven loom]

oh well u should remove those commas that u have used in ur class

[ocean escarp]

After the "this.name"?

[woven loom]

ye

[ocean escarp]

Tbh this isn't even a project I'm likey going to continue with

I just want practice

I do want to make a classes system but my brain will never get used to mass coding mechanics and tag systems

It's funny.. I finally have enough knowledge to code stuff in but at the end of the day I still cant make anything

[woven loom]

its not that hard, ypu can do it

[ocean escarp]

Im just scared of having a 1000+ line source file

I hate being unorganized but I don't even know how I would organize

[grand heart]

fastest most efficient way to clear an area?

[woven loom]

fill cmd

[woven loom]

if ur beginner its fine

[grand heart]

how about big area like
max height, and 21x21 XZ

[woven loom]

split into smaller chunks and use fill cmd

[warped kelp]

Helloo. I have a question, what JS test was about calling upon events within an entity? Or rather a custom event/component group?

I know it's either using scriptevent or custom commands but I forgor :(

Nevermind, it is scriptevent and I still gotta add the component groups affected by such.

[grand heart]

is it right player.isValid returns false if the player already quit?

[floral copper]

guys ive seen people use the Map() thingy many times in scripts and stuff but ionno how it works and it got many types like WeakMap() nad stuff so can someone explain what it is and how i can use it please?

[valid ice]

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

[vast grove]

In its other most commonly used name, it's called a dictionary. Which basically stores unique keys to a value. Very useful for certain performance optimisation where you need to read a lot. Other niche stuff is assigning ID's to objects and u can just get an object by an ID like a string or a number, etc...

[mystic harness]

are personal compass possible atp (like force point the compass to specific direction, for specific player)

[kind zenith]

how i do change vanilla block loot? if hardcoded say "y"

[floral copper]

i seeee

thanks a lot brother

[floral copper]

thanks 🔥

[round bone]

Hardcoded, but you can disable tile drops and implement it from scratch.

[midnight ridge]

can we check if the bundle has item or it is empty using script api?

[empty yoke]

Is it possible to recover the target via scripts?

[midnight ridge]

like if a cow died you want to recover the exact cow?

[empty yoke]

no, I'm trying to understand if it's possible to recover the target that an entity is targeting, so as to perform a charge attack correctly, otherwise I would have to take the first most distant player and charge the player who is not really the target.

[midnight ridge]

i think yeah it is possible

[jolly citrus]

is there a way to ensure a player has fully loaded into the world before i try sending them a message

[distant tulip]

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

[jolly citrus]

is there any way to set blocks in unloaded chunks

or to like load them first i mean

i would use tickingareas but can those be created in unloaded areas?

[wheat condor]

fastest way to get if an entity is hostile or paceful without cheching typeIds?

[wheat condor]

you cant you'll have to teleport the player or either find a new way to do so exploiting game glitches

[jolly citrus]

cant entities load chunks

custom entities

[jolly citrus]

tickingarea does work actually

[wheat condor]

it got patched

[jolly citrus]

why would it get 'patched'

[wheat condor]

idk

[jolly citrus]

there's a component for entities that lets them load ticks

[wheat condor]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1364195448017125406

[wheat condor]

yes

[jolly citrus]

yeah so why would that get patched

unless you mean removed

its not a bug or a glitch

[wheat condor]

its able to keep chunks loaded not to load new ones

but if you watied 2 ticks it could

What's the fastest way to get if a mob is hostile or not?

[jade grail]

Has player.isOp() been removed?

[round bone]

Yes, it has been replaced with new permission system.

[jade grail]

Uh so now how can I check if the player has operator or is like the owner?

[prisma shard]

Player.prototype.isOp = function () {
    return this.commandPermissionLevel >= 1 || this.playerPermissionLevel === PlayerPermissionLevel.Operator;
};

Use this for now

[jade grail]

That will return true or false right?

[prisma shard]

Yes

[jade grail]

Kk ty

[rare plume]

people who don’t use typescript are beginners

[round bone]

Not always, but in most cases.

[thorn flicker]

thats not a fact

[distant tulip]

beginners in typescript, yeah
i can say people who uses ts are beginners in js and that will have some trouth to it

[thorn flicker]

what

thats not what he said tho

[distant tulip]

i know

i am saying he is wrong

[thorn flicker]

ohh

[distant tulip]

the reality is that both experienced and beginner developers use both languages for different reasons

[jolly citrus]

can i somehow detect where performance spikes detected by watchdog come from

[prisma shard]

maybe performance.now()
and use minecraft debugger extension

[dusky flicker]

performance is a thing on quick?

i thought only Date was accessible and usable to track time

[dusky flicker]

im prefering to use f# rather than ts

seriously

[mystic harness]

how can i locate biome/structure and parse the coordinates of the result

[mystic harness]

and also can i give lodestone compass set to a specific coordinates to player thru scripts?

[prisma shard]

yes

im not sure tho

[neat hound]

Hey... dipping my toes back into add-ons so had to update a few things... any idea why vscode giving me this? I did update the NPMs where they normally are.

Did something change?

[jolly citrus]

When was the last time you worked with script api

I don’t know what @param does but

If you’re trying to use Vector3 to declare the type of something as equal to the type of that

Then it might be the problem

Vector3 is only accessible as a type now not as a constructable class

[open urchin]

sometimes i have to open the module's index.d.ts file in vscode before it realises it exists

[jolly citrus]

You might wanna manually look into your node_modules folder as well

I encountered some issues where @minecraft/server-ui had nested a duplicate @minecraft/server module inside

[jolly citrus]

But maybe the solution is something as simple as this or just reopening VSC

[warped kelp]

Is there a way to detect a player's EXP level?

[snow knoll]

player.level

[warped kelp]

Neat. I'll try play with that..

.. hmm. This might be out of my league

[snow knoll]

Well, what is it?

[warped kelp]

Detecting if player's EXP level is 100 and allowing entity that's detecting the level to be damaged from the level 100 player

Maybe scoreboards...

Player at lv100, give score of 1. If entity is hurt with the player with score of 1, deal damage to self .3.

[snow knoll]

Making an entity that can only be hurt by a player with level 100 <

[warped kelp]

Yeah, something like that

The entity in question

[snow knoll]

I feel like scoreboards would overcomplicate things
Tags would work just as well, imo🤷‍♂️

[warped kelp]

Ah, true.

Honestly found out how good scoreboards are and I've just been spamming it everywhere I do

[snow knoll]

I actually noticed

[warped kelp]

Need a checker? Scoreboards.
Need a counter?
Scoreboards
In need of a "detector"?
Scoreboards

Made the phase 2 checker with script and scoreboard so much easier

[snow knoll]

Dynamic properties are better for scripting tho

[warped kelp]

Yeah I'm still at the surface of scripting

[snow knoll]

I can tell

Mainly since the answer to your question is right here in the documentation

[warped kelp]

Yeahh. Anywho, I'll do the entity first before I do any fancy magic...

[snow knoll]

If you ever have a question on scripting, I would strongly reccomend going to the entity and player documentation first

[lethal bramble]

always check the documentation and wiki before asking questions here

[warped kelp]

Can't help it, I like asking fleshies for answers.

[dusky flicker]

just to document

probably the import isnt getting the type but the class constructor instead, which doesn't exist anymore

[jolly citrus]

Yea my solution is redundant tho

[jolly citrus]

No the issue is with tje module itself not being found

[dusky flicker]

aa you've mentioned

[jolly citrus]

Not vector3 not being accessible

[dusky flicker]

so the project doesnt figure it out

maybe its at a wrong directory

[jolly citrus]

Yea

[jolly citrus]

Mightbe this

[dusky flicker]

i'd try first restarting vscode

i had issues where it failed for some unknown reason

i restarted it and it worked

[jolly citrus]

If it for some reason only installs it in @minecraft/server-ui\@minecraft/server

Bc it did that for me

[dusky flicker]

weird as fuck

for me that doesnt happen

[jolly citrus]

Yeah it happens for me every time I install the modules

I just manually perma delete the other server module

[dusky flicker]

isnt that a problem with npm?

i only install with bun

[jagged gazelle]

I'm back??

[mystic harness]

is there some resources abt dynamic particles (or particles that can be seen by specific player/s)

[woven loom]

yes

[distant tulip]

Player playAnimation does that by default iirc
You need to pass it array of players to show the animation for them

[frosty sierra]

can anyone tell me what this says

Hello minato
I haven't done anything with script for a long time. Can't we still get the data of an item?

[distant tulip]

Heya!
Sadly we still cannot

[fallow rivet]

Whats this?

[distant tulip]

return the translation key for said item/block/some other stuff

[open urchin]

for data driven stuff it's the value of the display_name component

[fallow rivet]

Minecraft:apple = item.minecraft.apple
İs it true?

that would be item.apple.name i think

#1067876857103536159

[digital field]

Oh ok

[neat hound]

Not since May, but code had not changed and it was not doing it before. @param is used in jDoc which forces me to comply to definitions, its like having a typescript big brother but still using js. If I move a project to where it shared a closer top folder with the NPMs, then there is no error message. I just need to work out why all of a sudden (but not all of a sudden, a change may have happened a few months ago within VSCode), it is doing this. I do not want to have a nodes_module folder in every project. But if it is needed now, I need to make a deploy system for it.

[neat hound]

I am using JS, not TS, so I do not have that. I will probably need to work with how far away in a folder structure works. I just know, that last May it was fine and now it is not, but I need to make sure I did not move the node_modules folder out of scope. I do recall building a deploy system for my lib files, so I can make changes in one place and have it copied to all folders using that file

[neat hound]

Well I figured out that location is mattering... from the pic, the stuff in the green folders can see the nodes_modules folder, but not the stuff in the orange folders. I may need to move the NPM folder to the outside of both of them . Thanks for replying before.

[valid ice]

There is a global node_modules folder for your PC there

[neat hound]

Another besides the one inside the NPMs folder?

[olive sphinx]

I use that

[valid ice]

C:/users/you/node_modules

[neat hound]

Nope, don't have one there. And all my stuff is c:\projects. I do not like putting this stuff behind the wall of my ID... in case there is problem one day...

[neat hound]

I see that it, debug-utilities and admin do that. I do not need admin, so deleted it.. and just redid them all. So do you fix it everytime, move the index.d.ts and other files back out of the subfolders?

After studying it for a while, it may be valid per the wording of the package-lock info. Server has "peerDependencies" and this does not create subfolders, but server-ui has "dependencies" and it looks like it creates it do define it, in case you do not have them. For some reason, I think that has something to do with it.

[neat hound]

Success in case anyone else runs across the same issue (vscode not finding the installed NPMs for @minecraft/server).

1. Recreated node_modules (server, common, vanilla-data, server-ui) at the script folder level, but fixed server-ui to not have it's own node_modules folder*(not sure this is a good thing yet, may affect dependencies - will test this again - may not have been an issue at all)*

2. One by one, moved node_modules folder, package-lock.json and package.json to the outside parent folder , making sure to update the name: in package-lock and .package-lock.json to the parent folder name and verifying still working.

3. Once I had it at the desired folder level, made sure code in both repo subfolders acknowledged it

[olive sphinx]

If you use Local NPM and not Global

[neat hound]

I do not know enough about how it all works and how to make anything see local or global. From observation, I think I figured a few things out.

[dusky flicker]

you can install it globally

bun i -g package

[frosty sierra]

[empty yoke]

I'm using the shoot method to fire a projectile via scripts, but I've noticed that the projectile only rarely collides with entities. Do you know why?

[olive sphinx]

Might be the entities Collision Box

[empty yoke]

The projectile has a collision of 0.35 but it seems to pass the entity many times over, only with the runtime_identifier on arrow the projectile behaves well as arrow, but I can't use it so I don't understand because with the scripts the projectile doesn't seem to work correctly

[prisma shard]

that shouldnt happen smth is wrong 🤔

[dawn zealot]

my AI detector is going off

[prisma shard]

Myabe try using "minecraft:is_collidable": {} component

Since your problem is your projectile doesnt collide with entities, this might fix it

[covert beacon]

I use afterEvents.playerInventoryChange, but it always runs when the player joins the event. How do I make it run only when the player is already loaded in the world?

[frigid rampart]

How do I make it so that when the player interacts with a block, the item ID that was in their hand when they interacted appears in the chat?

[tidal wasp]

How would i tell how long a player has been sneaking?

Or at least store data on how long a player has been shifting

And save that data per player

The only idea I have rn are tags

[distant tulip]

There is an event that trigger when player press or release shift or space key

Use that and calculate the difference

[mint cairn]

How can I send a scriptevent with the player as the source entity?

[pale terrace]

its possible to kill an active custom particle through scripting?

[buoyant canopy]

how to unsubscribe from an event?

it's not like system.clearRun

here it says that event.subscribe returns a callback

unsubscribe takes a callback

[thorn flicker]

const callback = world.afterEvents.blockExplode.subscribe(data => { })

world.afterEvents.blockExplode.unsubscribe(callback)

[buoyant canopy]

ah, so i put the return value of subscribe as the argument for unsubscribe?

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

no

[thorn flicker]

run the scriptevent command, you cannot specify the source with system.sendScriptEvent and the method does not exist on the entity class.

player.runCommand('scriptevent namespace:id message')

[buoyant canopy]

I don't think this is going to work...

[tiny quest]

o

[buoyant canopy]

player is grayed out and i am trying to pass it to the callback

hmmm, i think this one deserves a post

[vast grove]

Thats incorrect... The subscribe function returns a void. U do this...

callback = (ev) => {}

...subscribe(callback);
...unsubscribe(callback);

[buoyant canopy]

did i do it correctly?

[thorn flicker]

im correct.

[verbal aurora]

active_challanges 🤣

whoopsies

[buoyant canopy]

thanks

i have changed it to this, and i think it works?

[vast grove]

It's a void. What the hell are you supposed to do with a value that doesn't even exist.

Actually nvm

[buoyant canopy]

it works tho

how do you explain that?

[buoyant canopy]

also look carefully, subscribe takes a callback that returns void and returns a callback that returns void

[thorn flicker]

why did he leave lol

[tidal wasp]

Do runIntervals get canceled when the playerButtonInput detects the player inputs another button?

[wary edge]

No.

You need to explicitly stop them.

[tidal wasp]

Dammit

[wary edge]

What are you trying to achieve?

[tidal wasp]

I'm trying to detect when the player is shifting for x consecutive seconds

While wearing a specific set of boots

[jolly citrus]

Ai is the future of coding anyway

It really does speed up things so why wouldn’t one use it

[thorn flicker]

maybe some people want to use their own intelligence

[shy leaf]

instead of starting and stopping a runInterval, try using a runInterval that always runs with a check inside it

its more reliable and easier to debug that way

[thorn flicker]

did you change your pfp

[shy leaf]

yes i did

[thorn flicker]

his eyes man, what happened

[tidal wasp]

Ain't you used to be a duck

[thorn flicker]

yeah

thats a duck right?

[tidal wasp]

Aye bro wtf they do to you

[shy leaf]

thats a goose

this is also a goose

[thorn flicker]

kinda hard to tell without seeing the full body

and size

[shy leaf]

thats true

[thorn flicker]

and the fact its a simplified drawing

[tidal wasp]

If I set a dynamic property to system.current tick it won't change every time I call it

Right

Well call to get the value of the dynamic property

[thorn flicker]

the value will be whatever its saved as at the time you saved it.

[tidal wasp]

Ok

[thorn flicker]

i find the even more simplified goose funny

just because of the eyes

[jolly citrus]

Yeah I didn’t say you can’t

But In my opinion there’s no point in avoiding ai ’just because’ since you won’t survive in the industry for very long by doing that at least not on a higher level assuming you have competitors

It’s a globally inevitable change we’ll have to adapt to over time no matter if we like it or not

[thorn flicker]

yes, that's the reality of it.

however I'm not going to sacrifice my enjoyment of creating things just for competition, it feels great knowing I don't use ai in my creations.

How to use /connect in scripts api ?

[lethal bramble]

/connect is for websockets, not script api

but if ur asking how to run it, dimension.runCommand("connect")

[distant tulip]

I don't think that would work

It need higher permission level

[inland merlin]

how do i get glyphs to work on

player.onScreenDisplay.setTitle

it just doesn't show, but works on chat

for rawtext

using for sidebar

should it work the same?

[warped blaze]

- Released AABB from beta to v2.4.0
- Released Entity.getAABB from beta to v2.4.0```
what's AABB?

[woven loom]

bounding box

[subtle cove]



[inland merlin]

hmm thats strange lol, its custom ones.. so maybe?

[subtle cove]

its a glyph so it should work same way

[inland merlin]

ok, im probably just doing it wrong thanks for testing for me

[turbid gulch]

is it possible to prevent player from picking up an item?

[subtle cove]

afaik, no

[frosty sierra]

waht does this mean

i think my permission level cant be zero right?

but what is it then

[dawn zealot]

ur custom command is missing permission argument

permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.Any,

then import CommandPermissionLevel

[shut vessel]

hi, who know how to get a modified music on a disc ?

[frosty sierra]

is this what you mean?

lololol

[grand heart]

does script api know URLSearchParams?

[open urchin]

No, that's a web api

[grand heart]

aww sad

[grand heart]

how aout encodeURI

[open urchin]

That is a part of normal javascript so it will work

[amber granite]

hello

guys i forget how to script

I need smol reminder

[hazy kraken]

Search yt

[dusky flicker]

you can check the docs

in general if you know js, you might know how to code with the api

[distant tulip]

Kiro every month

[distant gulch]

how do u forget

its impossible for me to forget

[hazy kraken]

It takes like 10 plus years of not coding to start forgetting

🥀

[distant gulch]

then that would mean i would have had to stop coding when i was 5

but i started coding at 8

and never stopped

[hazy kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/i-just-a-baby-baby-im-just-a-baby-gif-25143652

[distant gulch]

i js a bebe😭

[dusky flicker]

your github shows the opposite

[distant gulch]

i coded before i created a github acc

my github was created in like 2023 or 2022

[distant gulch]

my OLD github

i have like 3 github accs

[dusky flicker]

but why dont you have any project in it?

[distant gulch]

2021*

[distant gulch]

i dont use my current github

this is my old github

which was created when i was 11

and you can see i joined discord in 2020

which was the same year i started making 3D Guns

[dusky flicker]

why not?

do you use something else?

i got interested to see what gitlab has

[distant gulch]

no

i dont use git in general

anymore

[dusky flicker]

so what do you use?

how do you version your code?

or do you use any concurrent?

[distant gulch]

huh?

what r u talking abt

[midnight ridge]

can i track the light of Chunks using script?

[frosty sierra]

Can anyone tell me how i casn save the posotion of a player

[midnight ridge]

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

// save them :)
function savePlayerCoords(player) {
    const loc = player.location;
    
    const coordData = {
        name: player.name,
        x: Math.floor(loc.x),
        y: Math.floor(loc.y),
        z: Math.floor(loc.z),
        dimension: player.dimension.id
    };
    
    world.setDynamicProperty("playerCoords", JSON.stringify(coordData));
}

// get them :)
function getPlayerCoords() {
    const savedData = world.getDynamicProperty("playerCoords");
    
    if (savedData) {
        return JSON.parse(savedData);
    }
    return null;
}```

you can use those functions in your project

[frosty sierra]

thanks

[lethal bramble]

it depends whether you want to save them on the session or on disk

[frosty sierra]

and how do i fill the blocks at the saved location

[lethal bramble]

fill blocks from where

just that one block?

[frosty sierra]

yes its only one tiome for now

[lethal bramble]

that looks good already

[frosty sierra]

but its player.location

i think i need to change something there

[lethal bramble]

levo included that in their original example. you need to stringify the saved dynamic property

JSON.parse

i mean parse

[frosty sierra]

okay i think im not that far at making behavior packs

ithink icant do that now i will search and collect information

[lethal bramble]

const savedLoc = world.getDynamicProperty("playerCoords");

if (savedLoc) {
  // do stuff with savedLoc
}```

be mindful that savedLoc also includes the player id and dimension

[frosty sierra]

so the fill blocks at the brackets from safedloc

[lethal bramble]

basically

[frosty sierra]

okay thank you

[lethal bramble]

just replace player.location with savedloc

[frosty sierra]

this is what i tried but i will give up and try tomorrow

[hazy kraken]

is there a way we can get shelf inventories? or anything?

[midnight ridge]

shelf inventories?

[hazy kraken]

like getting the contents of shelves

[full idol]

Is there a way to easily desaturate a player's view? Like make it BW or just less... vibrant?

[wary edge]

Not via scripting. But you can use vibrant visuals. However you probably meant dunamically in which case no.

[full idol]

AH yeah kinda needs to be dynamic. Thanks, I'll keep investigating!

[hazy kraken]

is there a way to stop a entity like a boat or armorstand from taking damage?

[thorn flicker]

not yet

[subtle cove]

forget everything nd just cod it ;-;

[tender pier]

Is MinecraftDimensionTypes useless now?

[subtle cove]

perhaps for quite a long time until custom dimensions would be even possible

[tender pier]

I mean if it was deprecated or something

I get a log using this

Not sure what was the replacement

[subtle cove]

i cant find it from typings as well, but the DimensionTypes.getAll() is still there

[amber granite]

No i meant i need the new npm modules command to install the latest version

Thx u

[jolly citrus]

is there any event that happens before /reload runs

that can be listened for

[amber granite]

What u mean ?

U need to detect when player used reload?

[jolly citrus]

well yeah but like

whenever reloading of the scripts happens

right before it

because i wanna save data

maybe i could just wrap it around a custom call

and then use that instead of native /reload

idk if scripts have privilege to run /reload tho

[amber granite]

._.

Ma man

U can't predict something didn't happen yet

[jolly citrus]

???

thats not what i mean....

smh

there's a difference between an engine firing to event listeners AFTER the action has been done and right BEFORE it

[amber granite]

So u need data to be saved before reload get launched

That what u want

[jolly citrus]

!

[jolly citrus]

yes

[amber granite]

Yes u can't

[jolly citrus]

okay

[amber granite]

But possible

[jolly citrus]

??

you just said it's not

[amber granite]

Directly

There is no direct way i mean

Use ChatSend beforeEvent

[jolly citrus]

what would i use that for if i want to catch /reload calls

or not the call but the action of scripts being reloaded

[amber granite]

So /reload call is basically a chat message

[jolly citrus]

no it's not

[amber granite]

Make ur own reload then

[jolly citrus]

commands and chat messages use a completely separate handler in mcpe

[jolly citrus]

yah i will i already stated that

[amber granite]

Oh :-: then do it

Maybe there is event for commands

[jolly citrus]

there isn't

[amber granite]

Lemme check

Ok , ._. u don't have another option

@jolly citrus
