Script API General

[kind zenith]

anyone can help me i been trying fix over hours #1439023426999287808 message

[loud frigate]

Bedrock is getting a shit load of money from the marketplace and is run by a multi billion dollar company. My experience so far has been bugs unpo bugs and sloppy features implemented all over the place. Not just this API which feels inconsistent, lacking and when new feature come out the solve micro problems badly instead of addressing the general solution not to mention the game itself is full of bug of its own, internals must be full of legacy backwards compat spaghetti yet new updates still manage to break addons in some ways. I could go on. I have a huge list of those I pass to Mojang contacts when I can. Honestly there's no justification for this. Got to voice my opinion on this tbh, working for the marketplace is very frustrating

[kind zenith]

.

[nova flame]

the rest works

[woven loom]

nope

[nova flame]

?

[snow knoll]

You can't cancel the hit

This is an afterEvent
The hit has already happened

[nova flame]

hm

how else can i do it

[snow knoll]

Hence the "after"
Cancelling an event is strictly for beforeEvents where you detect before the Event

Not every afterEvent has a beforeEvent equivalent, so you'll need to double check

[nova flame]

how am i supposed to do ts

[woven loom]

cant do that with script api

[round bone]

Custom PVP system

[shy leaf]

you can technically rewrite combat from scratch by setting attack component's value to huge negative value in player.json

but ill tell you its gonna be hard

[dusky flicker]

why do you say the api feels inconsistent?

[round bone]

It was inconsistent, but now it's pretty stable.

I think he is referencing to past

[shy leaf]

if i have to be honest

being very negative about stuff kinda feels like it drags us away further from actually getting good stuff

[dusky flicker]

i feel the same

there could be more interesting things that could be made

i think it would be better in the long run if they focused on the events in general

implement a bunch of events, since the api is event driven

and after so, start implementing other things

[loud frigate]

Maybe inconsistent is the wrong word I just meant buggy and often opting for heavily specialized solutions for stuff instead of general ones and often lacking basic functionality

[round bone]

Most of things are possible by combining JSON and Script API, what else do you need for example?

[loud frigate]

is this serious or not?

[snow knoll]

When you say JSON do you mean the player file
If so, I believe he's a marketplace creator

[loud frigate]

still doesnt matter much, its no surprise that many things arent doable nicely or at all. take for instance simply getting the weather of the workd. can you do it? sure. is it nice as a simple world call as it should? heck no, you got to track the weather state with events. Thats an easy example. theres many other things that require super slow workarounds or just not possible at all, like the before mentioned properly preventing silk touch drop of a block, or simply making the player properly swing or not the hand. Very inconsisntent there how half the block components events force swing the hand even when they arent used. other half just doesnt

[round bone]

There is already an API method for weather.

[round bone]

Everything in JSON (entities, blocks, etc.)

[loud frigate]

theres theres a set weather. there isnt a get one. still you can do that with events. not the end off, the world. theres many more examples for obvious things that arent there, like how to prevent a block fron connecting to glas panes or walls? theres no tag for that. or that blocks placed by worldgen features with a tick component DONT get tick when placed. infact the game barely uses tags at all. for entities they use tags + that old entity family system. animal entity family just has goat in thee for some reason and so on.

[round bone]

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

[loud frigate]

thats just added

should be beta cant be used yet. still this is besides my point

[broken pawn]

well, atleast you can try to use it while it's experimental i guess

[shy leaf]

me and @slow walrus also talked about why getWeather method is still in beta and tried to get answers from mojangsters

[snow knoll]

While I understand your point and your valid frustrations, you need better examples. As true as what you say is, why would anyone want to stop a glass pane from connecting to other blocks? Just sounds really, really random

[shy leaf]

i dunno if they replied or not tho...

[slow walrus]

nope

[shy leaf]

sad

its also in beta in preview too

[loud frigate]

this just validates my point even more. my experiene so far has been this, stuff just works "good enough" tm. And for most this is enough, thats what sells i guess, fancy visuals and no attention to details. If i add a block for instance i want it to behave exactly like vanilla. Yet many of th features are misisng hooks or tags.stuff that most people won't notice, small interactions like that one but they all add up. latest i found was that whatever you do, if you give a custom block the SAME PBR textures that vanilal use, the look will be just ever so slightly off from the original block.
Another one was that ambient occlusion didnt even work on custom blocks till some time ago.
Franlky what surprises me the most is that peorople are either oblivious that these issues exist or just dont care

[open urchin]

Ambient occlusion on custom blocks has always been (and still is) broken, that's what's causing the PBR textures to look different

[round bone]

Still, it exists.

And as you mentioned - there is a still work-around for getting a weather.

[loud frigate]

thats what i thought too but i dont think the case. I think there are 2 issues at play there as its a lot worse than that and AO you can just see when you place blocks next to eachother, not free standing looking at their top face

[loud frigate]

yes now tackle the rest of the issues i mentioned

[round bone]

You can reimplement custom walls and glass panes.

Also you can add an entity that will tick a block inside a structure after loading.

[loud frigate]

Yes but you can't prevent vanilla ones from connecting which is the issue I stated

[loud frigate]

You don't know where blocks are after they are spawned by a feature. Would be extremely inefficient to manually scan all blocks around like that

[round bone]

In a fixed place. Just spawn with an entity and on load, just execute an action and remove it.

[warm mason]

Your point is essentially valid. It's just that the API and everything else can't be perfect. Especially when it comes to features: to have all the capabilities of vanilla things, you'd have to modify Minecraft itself. The rest are just bugs that are supposedly being fixed, although the speed with which they are being fixed clearly does not suit everyone...

So, just ask a specific question, and they will try to help you, if your idea is possible, of course. After all, these are addons, not mods

[weary umbra]

is onBreak blockComponentRegistry broken? bc when I try to break the block it doesnt return anything

or am I using it wrong?

[warm mason]

I recently tested it on version 1.21.120 (beta API), and as far as I remember, it doesn't trigger on piston destruction or placement_filter conditions not being met. It does trigger on water destruction, player-initiated destruction, block replacement (via command or method), and explosions. So, you're probably doing something wrong.

[amber granite]

Guys i have interesting questions

I never thinked of

In Minecraft java specifically

Does Blocks plays as placeholders ?

So everyblokc in Minecraft java dosen't have its own instance

[weary umbra]

but it doesnt work though, I used /setblock on the custom block and it doesnt trigger

[amber granite]

But shares one instance? And swap between those instances and their pre defined behaviours

[weary umbra]

onBreak: ({blockDestructionSource, block, dimension}) => {
            console.warn("Breaking big block at " + JSON.stringify(block.location));
            console.warn("Block destruction source: " + JSON.stringify(blockDestructionSource.typeId));
            dimension.fillBlocks(new BlockVolume(
                {x: block.location.x + 2, y: block.location.y - 1, z: block.location.z + 2},
                {x: block.location.x - 2, y: block.location.y + 9, z: block.location.z - 1}
            ), "minecraft:air", {ignoreChunkBoundErrors: true, blockFilter: {includeTypes: ["minecraft:barrier"]}});
        },

[warm mason]

Are you sure you have added the component to the block and you don't have any errors?

[weary umbra]

yeah I also have onPlace and that works

thats why I'm confused

[warm mason]

hmm

idk then

[weary umbra]

I use the older version of custom component maybe thats the issue?
"minecraft:custom_components": [
"ct:big"
],

[warm mason]

probably yes

[weary umbra]

yeah that was the issue. But now I can't change the scale of the block I get an error. Thats the max scale It can use
"scale": [2, 1, 2]
but if I use an older version I can change it up too
"scale": [5, 10, 5]
or more

[weary umbra]

I changed the version of the block to 1.20.80 and now both works the scale and onBreak event

[loud frigate]

its not in a fixed place. its a feature. they spawn random. and couldbe many many blocks. you could work around it bug asive said its unrelableand suboptimal. imagine you needthem to tick as soon as they spawn. if you are too many trying to find all of them you might time out script time

anyways tbh idk if that particular one is still an issue, it was some months ago, ive reported it and they mght have said something like they were working on it

[warm mason]

What are you talking about? I don't really understand.

[loud frigate]

you know what a feature is? a worldgen feature. say a random patch of blocks. could be a patch of flowers for instance

which could even be placed far away and scripts can only access stuff really close to the player, no way to get a block at an arbitrary position (say a double block wants to break its connected part ends up being in a connected unloaded chunk). i guess thats another story tho

[remote oyster]

Your bio mentions that you are a software engineer student. Have you considered putting in an application with Mojang to contribute?

[loud frigate]

already did. im not the brightest of the bunch by any mean tho so i don't have any hopes there but still gave it a shot for the lols

[verbal aurora]

comes back in 2-3 months...
・ hi guys! i work at mojang now 🤣

Whats the best way to detect movement of a player? I feel like constantly checking all players positions with a run interval would get laggy.

[round bone]

Can you use /server-net?

[wicked girder]

That might work

[round bone]

You can listen to a movement packet and get a player that triggers it

[wicked girder]

annoying to test tho

Got any easy way to test with bds?

[round bone]

Pretty easy, just apply your world with an addon there

[wicked girder]

I use regolith so itll be a little bit harder

[bronze pulsar]

What is the most effective method to simulate rising lava while avoiding chunk boundary errors?

[sharp elbow]

Could do it on a chunk-by-chunk basis. Subdivide your volume into chunks by taking floor(x/16) and floor(z/16), then iterate those chunks and attempt to fill a 16×16 space. Could query if the chunk is loaded beforehand, too

[stable shadow]

Is it possible for me to disable the /say or /tell commands? Can I change their permission levels? I don't want players to use them.

[stable shadow]

/tell

[verbal aurora]

This is only possible via a dedicated server.. you can't disable commands on worlds or realms.

[stable shadow]

Is it possible for me to do this on a regular dedicated server?

Or does it have to be modified like Endstone's?

[verbal aurora]

Just a normal server

As mentioned, just can't be a world or realm

[stable shadow]

as?

But I want it specifically for the server.

How do you turn off those commands? Do you know?

[verbal aurora]

<your_server_folder>/config/commands.json --> json { "default_permission_level": "admin", "permission_levels": { "me": "internal" } }

You just add commands into it like "me" is done

That'll stop players from being able to use the command

[stable shadow]

uau

[stable shadow]

very nice

[stable shadow]

Hey friend, where did you see that? Could you send me the document?

[verbal aurora]

This is just the information I have.. Mojang doesn't document stuff like this and it's really annoying

I think someone might have also mentioned something in here before so I'll try and find it

Only other thing is this...

Honestly, I'll never understand why Mojang chooses not to document this stuff

[stable shadow]

How would I disable them, even for admin?

For example, I want to turn off "/list", would that be possible? lol

[verbal aurora]

It's all there for you..

You would just put "list": "internal"

[stable shadow]

I added it, and even so I can use that command, but /tell doesn't work.

I was going to replace the /list command with my own custom command, to make the interface prettier.

[stable shadow]

as????

[verbal aurora]

wdym as?

[stable shadow]

How did it work for you and not for me? Because I literally did this.

[verbal aurora]

now I have it set to any with list as internal and still list is gone

[verbal aurora]

this screenshot doesn't have "list" in the permission levels

do you have it in the right location? inside your config folder and then commands.json?

[stable shadow]

@verbal aurora

[verbal aurora]

why is it in the default folder?

[stable shadow]

I hadn't realized that, thank you very much.

[stable shadow]

Now that I've removed it, it has removed all my commands.

even with the map admin

[verbal aurora]

yeah I noticed that.. i don't remember admin doing this before

[stable shadow]

I disable the command and lose all administrator privileges? lol

[verbal aurora]

do you plan on giving anyone op besides yourself?

[stable shadow]

Yes, but I only want to disable those commands that people without an operator can use.

[verbal aurora]

i see why these permissions aren't documented.. they're shit

[verbal aurora]

There's an extra permission that wasn't displayed

You can also use game_directors which is your "operator" permission level

Just make your file look like this though:

{
    "permission_levels": {
        "list": "internal"
    }
}```

Remove the default part

That'll make everything default and then you can disable the ones you want disabled

Also it seems that the help and ? command are weirdly hardcoded

They will be hidden from the list but can still be used

[stable shadow]

Were you able to hide them all?

[verbal aurora]

All commands in that list no longer work.. besides help

[verbal aurora]

{
    "permission_levels": {
        "?": "internal",
        "help": "internal",
        "list": "internal",
        "me": "internal",
        "say": "internal",
        "tell": "internal"
    }
}```

You don't need to include "w" or "msg" as they seem to be all part of the "tell" command

[stable shadow]

It worked perfectly, thank you very much!

I've already achieved what I wanted.

[verbal aurora]

Happy to help, sorry that was such a pain to get working

Again.. if Mojang actually documented stuff like this we wouldn't be having problems like this

[stable shadow]

Everything's fine, the important thing is that it worked, and I appreciate your attention in helping me.

[verbal aurora]

[stable shadow]

Because the community doesn't post it on the Bedrock Wiki.

[warm mason]

Use structures

[halcyon phoenix]

I have no idea but there is a guide

[serene lava]

Hey. ¿There's a script that makes a entity fast impulse to a straight direction?
Something like "applyimpulse"

[fickle dagger]

would it be better to use maps or arrays if I wanted to store ids of entities that the player looked at, then clear it when they're not looking at them anymore?

[round bone]

Hashmaps are way better

[fickle dagger]

I see, guess I'll use that then
thanks for the info 👍

[round bone]

I think that you'll use this data structure for multiple players, right?

[fickle dagger]

yep, but the main way I'm using it is to show entity outlines when looking at them with an item

I figured this would be the best way to do it, since I need that property override thingy scripts have

which gives me another question

it's possible to get keys from a map right?

not just value

[round bone]

Map.keys()

[frozen vine]

Is there any way for me to see when I've started breaking a block?

[distant tulip]

entityHitBlock

[warm condor]

do you happen to know if this is still the case?

[frozen vine]

Thanks

[scarlet lynx]

Hey does anyone know why this won't work?

system.run(() => {
    for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
        const kit = { x: 5000, y: 4, z: 502, row: 0 }
        const items = getKitItems(player, kit, 1)

        const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory").container
        const slot = inventory.addItem(new ItemStack("minecraft:chest", 1))

        const shulkerInv = slot.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container

        items.kit.forEach(i => shulkerInv.addItem(i))
        items.armor.forEach(i => shulkerInv.addItem(i))

        inventory.setItem(slot, shulker)
    }
})

I'm trying to add items to a chest and give it to the player.

[verbal aurora]

You can't get the inventory instead of an inventory 🤷

For some reason they don't exist once they go inside of a container

[distant tulip]

shulker is not defined to start with

there is other ways to do what you are trying to do

[wary edge]

The inventory item component only works for bundles.

[distant tulip]

setBlock
get inv component
put the items you want
get the block itemStack

[verbal aurora]

Bit silly that it doesn't work for the other containers then if it works for bundles...

[wary edge]

I think it's quite literally introduced just for bundles for the first round since it isn't a block item.

[verbal aurora]

Fair

[potent tundra]

Does anyone know how to do this? I want to add a custom component to a custom item that makes it so that, if the item is used on a dirt block, it transforms that dirt block into a grass block. I tried to use onUseon, but I can't figure out, how to use that returned BlockPermutation to replace the block.

[wary edge]

Use the https://stirante.com/script/server/2.3.0/classes/ItemComponentUseOnEvent.html#block instead.

[potent tundra]

Oh okay, thank you :)

[noble tiger]

How do I stop the LocationInUnloadedChunkError error from popping up? I'm using getBlockFromViewDirection and it triggers the error when looking into unloaded chunks

[wary edge]

Wrap it in a try/catch block.

[halcyon phoenix]

this simple though why not make it your self?

[neat hazel]

Is it possible to prevent the player from changing the selected slot?

[bronze pulsar]

Worked amazingly, had to use tiling for areas larger than the structure limit, thank you!

[slow walrus]

if you only need to store the ids then just use a Set

oh that was a while ago nvm lol

[chrome flint]

how do i get all block ids again?

[glacial widget]

Log the type ids by interacting

BeforeEvent block interact

Console.warn(Block.TypeId)

You should be able to understand

[warm mason]

BlockTypes.getAll().map(t => t.id);

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

[chrome flint]

Thanks i got it earlier

Now the only problem i had is how to only get blocks that is an item, because blocktypes returns other block ids that is not the same as the item id

tabs... 😢

[cursive fog]

How do you guys implement dynamic property for an item?

[warm mason]

item.setDynamicProperty('id', 'value');

[winter plaza]

?

[verbal aurora]

they're talking about your code looking like this

so because there's no tabs (the empty spacing) that's why they said it

[meager cargo]

I have a question, is there a possibility to prevent entity being hurt by a player with some item in hand?
There is no beforeEvents.entityHitEntity and I can't figure it out without manipulating vanilla behaviors

[warm mason]

Either modify player.json or modify entity.json... or you could try the weakness effect.

[fickle dagger]

is it possible to modify spawned particles with scripts?

like setting the expiration on a condition

[warm mason]

no

[summer cloud]

On the entityhitentity event is it possible to “cancel” the original damage and replace it with my own, so like if a condition is met I can make a certain weapon do less damage

[wary edge]

No.

[summer cloud]

Would it be possible to apply my own damage the tick of or tick before and since after the hit the mob would have invulnerability blocking the intended game damage?

[wary edge]

Would need to be 10 ticks.

Due to iframes.

[summer cloud]

i found a work-around set my custom weapon damage to 0, then have a script that heals back the vanilla damage, then have my script apply my custom damage

[naive tinsel]

Indentation

[round bone]

1. Don't be that offensive.
2. Indentation is very important to your code - it's one of the factors to maintain your codebase readable for others, even you.

If you're too lazy to format files on your own, use libraries like Prettier.

[prisma shard]

lol

[halcyon phoenix]

before spawn you can do it though

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

wait

can you lay out what you meant?

[fickle dagger]

appear and disappear when player holds out item

the problem is the expiration

I don't think particles can detect accurately when the player stops doing a certain thing

or if they're even able to at all

[halcyon phoenix]

why not an emitter instead, make an entity and in that entity spawn the particle

[fickle dagger]

yeah that's basically what I did, was also way easier

[halcyon phoenix]

I see, good job

[fickle dagger]

👍

[halcyon phoenix]

also it's nice to see you again Felix, what are you working on? if it's fine for you to tell/

[fickle dagger]

things related to furnitures and such

been learning much more scripts as of late

and think I'm starting to understand it now

which means the plan to continue the L4D2 addon continues

other than that I just have been doing nothing other than playing Factorio

Do you think obfuscated dynamic property has any effect?

[wicked girder]

is player.id a runtime id or a unique id?

[deep quiver]

its unique to the world

[wicked girder]

Alright ty

[warm mason]

it's just useless

[shy leaf]

...why?

dynamic properties are only accessible in the same scripting environment

you cant get DPs from other environments

[somber onyx]

hi, you know if it’s possible to be able to give permission to a fly player in the idea of the mayfly

[round bone]

You can use Education Edition and use ability command

[somber onyx]

exist'il a class, an argument to directly modify that

[round bone]

I don't think so

[somber onyx]

so we need use runCommand

[round bone]

Yes

If you want to add types to ability calls, just wrap it around a class

[somber onyx]

indeed, it’s a good idea I think that I will do this

[round bone]

Would you like to get a sample code?

[somber onyx]

why not

[round bone]

JS/TS?

[somber onyx]

TS please

[round bone]

import { Player } from "@minecraft/server"

class PlayerAbilityWrapper {
    private player: Player

    public constructor(player: Player) {
        this.player = player
    }

    public setMayfly(status: boolean): void {
        player.runCommand(`ability @s mayfly ${status}`)
    }
}

[somber onyx]

thanks you

[honest spear]

#overtakes!!!!

[round bone]

Player class is so bloaty at this point, that wrapping a single method inside an another class might be a bit better approach in my opinion

[honest spear]

i guess, but don't forget that there are apis that has more thasn 45 functions on single classes on Java Edition haha, but yea you right

but in that case i would prefer static method with player as argument so i don't have to create instance every time

or something

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[honest spear]

i like how the player is private just in case haha

[round bone]

It could be readonly also, lol

[honest spear]

my favorite imaginary modifier

[round bone]

It's easier to scale with a constructor if he would like to add more methods per ability permission

[honest spear]

right, always depends on the goal at the end

[round bone]

https://github.com/m0lc14kk/portfolio/blob/main/backend/src/m0lc14kk/models/builders/errors/UnsupportedMediaTypeErrorResponseBuilder.ts

[honest spear]

i wouild use over takes with namespace like object

player.abilities.mayfly = true;

or just method setMayfly

its more explicit

[round bone]

Using a proxy class, right?

[honest spear]

no you don't have to

just getter

with the class you have

[round bone]

Setter, you mean?

[honest spear]

getter for abilities property

[round bone]

Oh, I get it

[round bone]

There are some modifiers, lol

[nova flame]

"minecraft:damage_sensor": {
                "triggers": {
                    "on_damage": {

                                },
                                {
                                    "test": "has_tag",

                                    "value": "noPvP"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    },
                    "deals_damage": false
                }
            },``` what would i have to do with these damage sensors to make it so that players can only hit other players that share a a tag 
Tag A hits all tag A player nobody else
Tag B hits all tag b players but no tag As. etc
is this possible without script api

[warm mason]

would be perfect if VSCode could see them

[honest spear]

use typescript

[warm mason]

Can u show an example?

[honest spear]

I am at bed now so typing it on mobile is really bad, ping me tomorrow or ask @woven loom
but basically use module declaration syntax

[warm mason]

Well.. I don't want to switch to TS, so I don't really need it

[honest spear]

[lilac glacier]

whats with the ping tho

[snow jungle]

Can you change the apareance of a NPC with gametest?

[snow jungle]

nm

[drowsy scaffold]

can you get existing FOV of a player to use with camera.setFov()?

[thorn flicker]

no

[drowsy scaffold]

greatly saddening

[thorn flicker]

hopefully getFov() will be a thing

[drowsy scaffold]

there's the camera API for it but it's just useless rn because I don't know how to modify FOV off of that 😭

[thorn flicker]

?

[drowsy scaffold]

the setFov method, but it's kinda useless rn imo since you can't get the player's base FOV in the first place to read anything off of it

[thorn flicker]

I wouldnt say its useless

but yeah, it would be better if we could get the current.

[drowsy scaffold]

that's more of what I was meaning, yeah

[simple zodiac]

You can have type files and still use js. JS diagnostics are running over the ts language server

[wanton ocean]

Anyone know if it's possible to remove an item inside a bundle?
The thing I wanna do is make an item both right clickable and change what it does depending on what's inside of it's bundle functionality

[halcyon phoenix]

yeah

[wanton ocean]

is there anywhere to find references for doing that?

or a reference in general

[halcyon phoenix]

nope

bundles has an inventory component

modify the bundle and update it

[wanton ocean]

oh i see

okay thanks

[wanton ocean]

okay i've gotten far but i've found having only one slot is a problem because right clicking with a bundle drops the items closest to the top

and with only one item available it just throws out what i want it to read

im not sure if there's a way around that or not

[halcyon phoenix]

you can prevent rightclicking on a bundle

[wanton ocean]

it's alright i fixed it, thanks for the guidance though

[nova flame]

anyone available for a bit of testing

i need to test stuff all my friends are in skl and im out of devices

[wheat condor]

what you need to test?

[nova flame]

a system where only players who share a tag can hit eachother

it works for when 1 player is hitting another

but i need to see if 2 players attempting the hit at the same time will block both or let in both

[wheat condor]

whats your xbl?

[nova flame]

ill be on in a minute

its Razzberriiz

@wheat condorable to vc or nah

[wheat condor]

no

[nova flame]

@wheat condorwhats ur xbl

i must add you through minecraft itself

[wheat condor]

i aredy sent the request

[nova flame]

i cant access it

gamebar wont open

[neat hazel]

What's the right way to do this?(Lock mode and Keep on Death)

inv.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, new mc.ItemStack("hash:item.2"));

inv.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex).lockMode = 'slot'

inv.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex).keepOnDeath = true

[shy leaf]

you need to make a new ItemStack as a variable and set the stuff from there

const item = new mc.ItemStack("hash:item.2"));

item.lockMode = 'slot'
item.keepOnDeath = true

inv.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, item)

[glacial widget]

anyone know the max reach on bedrock by player hit?

[nova flame]

yo max

can i ask u a Q

[glacial widget]

yo

[nova flame]

how do i change a players like nametag

to display a health indicator or a rank of some sort

for example

i know you did it with HCV once

[dawn zealot]

player.nameTag = `hi`

[nova flame]

@dawn zealotthanks

[dawn zealot]

np

[nova flame]

also how is your skyblock coming along

i seen u start on it

are u still making it?

[dawn zealot]

its pretty good but MC bug stopping me from working on it

[dawn zealot]

yeah

[nova flame]

what bug?

[dawn zealot]

script api isnt returning player pfid

[nova flame]

yikes

no other way of doing?

[dawn zealot]

so me database no worky

there is

but i dont feel like changing everything

so just waiting for it to be fixed

[neat hazel]

Oh, thanks

[neat hazel]

How do I find the index of a slot(Example, slot: 2)?

This returns an [Object object]

const inv = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory");
const lastSlot = inv.getSlot(player.selectedSlotIndex)

player.sendMessage(lastSlot)

[warped blaze]

uhm, just

player.sendMessage(player.selectedSlotIndex)```

[neat hazel]

Ah lol

It was so simple

Tnhk

[supple perch]

heya!

so i am facing an issue while trying to use herobrine's chestui

it's the same issue as this one: github.com/Herobrine643928/Chest-UI/issues/27

(couldn't send link because of automod)

anyway, does anyone have a script that can update the typeIDs? python, javascript, anything really

[shy leaf]

i dont think the link should be automodded?

especially github links

https://github.com/Herobrine643928/Chest-UI/issues/27

[supple perch]

it said i couldn't send links until after i join for 30 mins

[shy leaf]

oh

thats fair

but well i posted it for you

[supple perch]

btw, do you have any suggestions on this?

and thanks

for posting the link

[shy leaf]

whatcha mean by updating the typeIDs?

[supple perch]

see his pack works by aux ids

which basically translates ids like minecraft:stick to a number

[shy leaf]

ah i get it now

[supple perch]

when minecraft adds new items, etc. it breaks

[shy leaf]

well

good news

[supple perch]

and so i am asking if there's a more streamlined way of just updating them

[shy leaf]

he recently made a commit of updated typeids

https://github.com/Herobrine643928/Chest-UI/commit/0dac8e245e45538f4f35cd7c9f69c36664c97ba6

[supple perch]

oh?

[shy leaf]

two days ago

[supple perch]

nice

i must've not seen it

thanks!

[shy leaf]

np

[supple perch]

heya i got another question if you're still online

[supple perch]

I'm trying to disable two hoppers being put facing eachother

like

hopper1: -> <- :hopper2

because there is a dupe related to it

i know how to use the playerPlaceBlock event

I'm just not sure how to get the direction of the new block

cuz there isn't a .face property just chilling on it

and also i don't know how to check if they're facing eachother, cuz I'm terrible at math 😭

[verbal aurora]

I think it's called the permutation or state

[supple perch]

yea i know

but there isn't a .direction on it, and for good reasons

I'm not sure what state relates to the lateral directions (ones that aren't up/down)

of a block

[verbal aurora]

not sure if they've changed the direction bits around but using commands, facing_direction 2,3,4,5 are the correct directions and then you have to make sure that toggle_bit is true

[supple perch]

ah okay thanks

[verbal aurora]

it's 2-3 and 4-5 that connect

[supple perch]

thanks!

i really appreciate the help

[verbal aurora]

👍

[verbal aurora]

epic lol

only one direction done 😭

i've never actually messed with permutations lol

[neat hound]

Is there a way to get the spawn or any ticking area coordinates?

In the pack I am making, I want to turn it off if any entities files are broken/missing. I have that down, but it relies on the dim/loc of that first player. So for local and realms it may work, but servers do not need a player on...

Any suggestions, before I just consider no players as validation and if it's broken, they just get errors?

[wary edge]

In the preview there is a ticking area manager.

[neat hound]

Ah, so I wait for release.... okay, thanks Smokey

Oh wait... I thought I looked first, but now I see world.getDefaultSpawnLocation. That may work.

[knotty salmon]

Yup that is what I am using in my addon to get world spawn

            // Returns a Vector3 {x, y, z}
            const worldSpawn = world.getDefaultSpawnLocation();

[glacial widget]

thats just replacing the nameTag with your rank and health

tags

[supple perch]

hey, i couldn't get that to work

could you send the code you used for it?

[verbal aurora]

are you using javascript or typescript?

[supple perch]

typescript

but you can send javascript

[verbal aurora]

nah i did it in ts anyway

[supple perch]

nice

thanks

[verbal aurora]

this only accounts for placing them by the way

[supple perch]

?

[verbal aurora]

like i'm only checking on playerPlaceBlock

[supple perch]

isn't placing the only way to put them down?

like in pure survival

as a normal player

[verbal aurora]

yeah but if you use a piston and place it one block away that bypasses the code i wrote

[supple perch]

ah

i guess I'll have to also check out the piston stuff

this is gonna be messy probably

[supple perch]

i revamped it a bit, don't be fooled by the .js extension, it's actually typescript, discord doesn't want me to send typescript tho so i had to rename it

anyway I'm not sure why the piston logic doesn't work

I'm too tired from finishing alot of todos today

I'm going to go sleep

[supple perch]

if anyone can fix the piston logic in the mean time, I'd appreciate it

[nova flame]

world.afterEvents.playerBreakBlock.subscribe((ev) => {
    console.warn("block broken");
    const player = ev.player;
    const multiplier = getScore(player, "multiplier");

    if (ev.block.typeId == "cosmos:tier_1_ore") {
        console.warn("Tier 1");
        addScore(player, "Pending", 1 * (multiplier / 100));
    } else if (ev.block.typeId == "cosmos:tier_2_ore") {
        addScore(player, "Pending", 2 * (multiplier / 100));
    } else if (ev.block.typeId == "cosmos:tier_3_ore") {
        addScore(player, "Pending", 3 * (multiplier / 100));
    }
});```
 anyone know why this aint working

no errors

the first .warn works but the 2nd one no

even tho the typeId is correct

[warm mason]

use ev.brokenBlockPermutation.type.id instead of ev.block.typeId

the block is already broken, when the event fires, so it's typeId almost always will be "minecraft:air"

[dull shell]

can I change a certain area of my world to a different biome?

[nova flame]

ah

[broken pawn]

any example of adding container to armor slot?

[cold grove]

What?

[broken pawn]

wait

A.getComponent(EntityInventoryComponent.componentId).container.addItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:'+))

but for specific armor slot

[summer cloud]

is it possible to get if the player has a title displaying on their screen?

[sharp elbow]

Titles are generally sent as packets to the client, so no; that would be like reading if a sound is being played.

But generally, screen titles are very controlled. If you need to know if something is on the screen, chances are you were responsible for putting it there to start with.

What do you need to get that for?

[summer cloud]

well my issue is i have a system that displays a title over and over with a value that i then customive with a JSON UI but i was thinking if someone added my addon to a server if the title is constantly being displayed it would override if the server tries using titles for whatever

so i was going to do something where before displaying i check if the player has a title allready being displayed so the server or whatever else takes priority

[sharp elbow]

Ah, gotcha. That is a tricky one

[summer cloud]

i do have it rn so if they dont hold my custom weapons (when it gets displayed) it removes it so titles will show then but again if they hold the weapon it overrides any other titles

[glacial widget]

whats the limit of setting dynamic properites on a player?

[distant gulch]

a lot lol

[round bone]

There isn't really a limit of keys, there's a very limit on size of a data

[glacial widget]

So kinda the same as scoreboards?

[runic crypt]

What's difference between setDynamicProperties and setDynamicProperty in Script API?

[supple perch]

nothing really

one lets you set one dp

while one lets you set multiple

i think the multiple one takes something like:

.setDynamicProperties({
  key: 'value'
});

the other takes something like:

.setDynamicProperty('key', 'value')

[supple perch]

btw anyone got a fix for this?

i couldn't get it to work mainly because of the attached blocks legitimately being piston arm extended or something and air

no hoppers whatsoever

[round bone]

Better to use this method, you can add queue system to speed up an add-on by a bit

[supple perch]

yeah i guess

but it's not really like, THAT different

[supple perch]

anyway do you have any suggestions for this?

[round bone]

Not much different, but pretty useful for optimizing

[round bone]

Give me a second

[supple perch]

true

[supple perch]

alright, i appreciate any help

[round bone]

On which line there is an error or smth?

[supple perch]

no there are no errros

errors*

it's more of a behavioural error

[round bone]

Does listener trigger?

[supple perch]

yes

[supple perch]

^^^

if you happen to know a workaround to get the blocks moved by a piston or something, please let me know

[round bone]

Doesn't block change due to position change?

[supple perch]

i think it does

[round bone]

Maybe that's an issue

[supple perch]

hm

[round bone]

To be honest, I haven't coded any add-ons in a while, lol

[supple perch]

lol

neither have i

i just thought that the .getAttachedBlocks would atleast have a reference to the blocks

i guess i am gonna have to do a more advanced getting method

I'm not looking forward to it

thank you for the help anyway

[warm mason]

A few ticks after activating a piston, the blocks turn into moving_block, so you have to wait a few ticks until they turn into normal ones

[supple perch]

oh?

well i suspected that too

but it still doesn't change

lemme send the code

I'll open a post

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1441391608691032185

[shy leaf]

yeah its practically not so different from using for loop to set multiple DPs in the end

but in interval, its probably better to use that one

[round bone]

By interval, you mean a queue/larger datasets?

[shy leaf]

i didnt meant that but yeah i guess you could also say that

[warped blaze]

equippable component

[broken pawn]

EntityEquippableComponent. which one?

i must read again

[warped blaze]

Player.getComponent("equippable").setEquipment(<slot>, ItemStack)```

[broken pawn]

looks good

imma try it

[warped blaze]

equippable component only works for players tho

[broken pawn]

how about non-player entities?

like wither_skeleton

[warped blaze]

you'd have to use commands

/replaceitem

[broken pawn]

well, i've tried using the command but it doesn't work

does it means i have a wrong input?

imma try it tomorrow, thank you for the explanation sir 🗣️ 🔥

[round bone]

Can you show me your command?

[loud frigate]

from a script how can tell which device I'm on

[warm mason]

player.clientSystemInfo.platformType

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

[loud frigate]

thank you! i was doubtful there was something. unfortunately idk if it would cut it I just got a content review claiming some bugs are just on windows 10

[viral wigeon]

Does someone have a custom fence template with the new component for this instead of using scripting API?

[tardy pivot]

wasn't there a release to detect how the blocks were destroyed, like via fire destruction

[halcyon phoenix]

try searching at #1072983602821861426

[viral wigeon]

There are only scripting api ones

Scripting api ones are kinda slow

[wary edge]

Check out #1019665690233405500

[viral wigeon]

I realized theres a new component for that but is it already stable?

I'm very bad at block components that's why I was looking for an example because ik there's a new component but I don't have idea how to use it 😔

I will try tho since I see there are no templates yet

[wary edge]

You can see people use it in #1019665690233405500

[viral wigeon]

Is it already stable tho?

[broken pawn]

world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe(({entity:A})=>{

sorry cuz i have a lot of task on my academic

[supple perch]

damn

i actually thought it was obfuscated for a second

until i focused on it

you should probably try to make it a bit more readable

for easier debugging

and so that people can understand your code easier

anyway guys is BlockVolume.isInside faster than using vector3 calculations to check if a vector is inside a volume?

[supple perch]

btw i think it's supposed to be ‘slot’ not ‘Slot’

and ‘Replaceitem’ should be ‘replaceitem’
and ‘Entity’ should be ‘entity’

[supple perch]

if anyone can do some benchmarks, I'd appreciate it

because i don't really own a pc, and i can't use the minecraft debugger

[warm mason]

If it's a simple BlockVolume, then math should be faster, but if it's a ListBlockVolume or CompoudBlockVolume use the method

[round bone]

You don't have a space between a slot and an item, this probably causes a fail

[round willow]

Anyone knows how to subscribe to chats? The chatSend event doesn't seem to work

[supple perch]

okay, thanks!

[supple perch]

it's beta only rn

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe

idk if there's an afterEvent too but yea

[round willow]

that doesn't work

i have beta api enabled too

[broken pawn]

this probably the reason

then can i use this?

${P1[Math.floor((Math.random())*P1.length)]};

[broken pawn]

i'll try it next time here for a question

🫡 🗣️ 🔥

[distant tulip]

Slot.weapon.mainhand work with uppercase?

[broken pawn]

i have tested it back in the day, it was work

but i forgot about now

lemme check again

even this works

[distant tulip]

alr

[broken pawn]

as long the "@" isn't upper case

[round bone]

Just add a space

[warm mason]

show code

[warm mason]

You could use "[email protected]_of_undying".replaceAll("-", " ")... there are too many spaces ;)

[broken pawn]

sure, i'll try it 🗣️

i write the code either it'll confuse stealer or confuse myself

[neat hound]

No

Just complain about it like everyone else, and of course do a bug report and watch it.

[dawn zealot]

Been watching that hug report for 3 months now.

Bug*

[neat hound]

ok, good. That is about all you can do. Bugging them is not going to make it get done. They have priorities and their own internal politics. Be patient and work around it.

Okay I kinda did It. Now I need to know how can I Interact with any block using a custom item

[fierce pilot]

So here is where I can get help with my script right?

[broken pawn]

Correct

[fierce pilot]

Okay

Sry this is my first time in this server so I'm kinda new to this

So how does this work?

[fluid flame]

Is it possible to remove the player join message?

By using scripts, like idk playerJoin or chatSend

[fierce pilot]

I think so?

Let me find out

I believe this might work
world.beforeEvents.playerJoin.subscribe((ev) => {
ev.cancel = true;

[fluid flame]

Uh just that? But does it changes on chat?

[fierce pilot]

I'm kinda new to this so it might not work

[fierce pilot]

Idk but I can test it for you

It should cancel the event and remove it from the chat completely.

If it works

[fluid flame]

Oh if possible I would want

[fluid flame]

Yeah... makes sense on paper but I dont think it really makes sense because it doesnt affect the chat I think...

[fierce pilot]

Sorry 🙏 I'm am very new to this

[fluid flame]

I know there is something called globalJoinMessage and globalLeaveMessage

[fluid flame]

No problem lol, I am just like you

[fierce pilot]

So what are you making rn

If u don't mind me asking

Okay Ill be testing it out

[fluid flame]

Oh I am making a friend's SMP, but I needed to learn script to make some items like an item to toggle you invisible and visible, one to toggle between creative and survival, one for setting me in spectator, one for spectator but summoning a lighting and one for toggling invisibility but summoning a lightning

[fierce pilot]

Oh I think I can help you with that

[fluid flame]

Actually it already works fine lol, now I need to do something with the leave and join

[fierce pilot]

Oh

But umm what are you using to make the scripts

[fluid flame]

Wdym

[fierce pilot]

What app do you use

[fluid flame]

Oh

Bridge

It is a site, but if I could I would switch to VSCode

WAY better ngl

[fierce pilot]

Okay

May I ask for something

[runic crypt]

Is there a way to cancel or prevent player to player damage directly in the script without modifying player.json file?

[shy leaf]

sadly no

😔

[broken pawn]

okay so.... after trying with a different scenario, looks like the replaceitem command is broken in script idk why lmao

even it didn't want to run in my character itself

B.runCommand('Replaceitem Entity @s Slot.Hotbar 8 Ulkd_Ess:Debug_Stick 1 0 {"keep_on_death":{},"item_lock":{"mode":"lock_in_slot"}}');

this one is actually work

i just wanted to make it like this

[slow walrus]

why are you capitalizing the commands 😭

[slow walrus]

this doesn't work because you don't have a space between the slot and the item name,

your commands would look like this

Replaceitem Entity @s Slot.armor.head 0cactus

also you shouldn't be using capitals in the commands

[chrome flint]

Can i add score to offline players if i know their entity id ?

[broken pawn]

well, it's actually works

[halcyon phoenix]

auto first letter capitalization

he born to make essays but resorted to code

[broken pawn]

🗣️ 🔥

[broken pawn]

only if they're valid

i mean it's online

[round bone]

You can't.

[broken pawn]

anyway, will function file works for applying entity an armor?

entity.runCommand("function entity_armor")

[halcyon phoenix]

set a world dynamic property, if the player is online set that score and delete the world dynamic property.

[chrome flint]

Okay that seems the best way to do it

[halcyon phoenix]

goodluck

Why aren't you using Enum?

For the string?

[viral wigeon]

Hey @wary edge

Sorry for the ping but I know you know a lot about this

Is there any way to display items in blocks? Example a pan with a raw cooked beef

Like this

[tender pier]

Can I get some help with this?

I'm using v1

[wary edge]

v1 of?

[tender pier]

scripting v1

[wary edge]

What's the event?

[wary edge]

So are you interacting with an empty hand?

[tender pier]

yes, but thats not what I want

[wary edge]

That's quite literally what the error is, empty hand = undefined item. Hence it cannot grab a typeid.

[tender pier]

oh

ty

now I get this 😭

[wary edge]

You can't set permutation in a beforeEvent, you need to use afterevent or wrap it with system.run

[tender pier]

oh, thanks

[tender pier]

how can I make this work?

[wary edge]

Make it an array.

[round bone]

Place it in square brackets and make it an array.

Did you learn JS before trying to use Script API?

[tender pier]

no 😭

[round bone]

Consider learning it before Script API. It's very fundamental to know the basics of a language itself, before getting into deeper concepts in Script API.

[round willow]

Unfortunate.
Thanks though.

[neat hound]

put in a system.runTimeout or system.run to go in next tick

and read this #1067535608660107284 message

[nova flame]

system.runInterval(() => {
    const player = world.getPlayers()[0];
    const offhandItem = player.getComponent("equippable").getEquipmentSlot("Offhand").getItem().typeId;

    if (offhandItem === "cosmos:ring_of_regeneration" && getHealthPercent(player) > 60) {
        console.warn("Regen");
        player.addEffect("regeneration", 1, 1);
    }
}, 20);
``` anyone know whats wrong with this

theres no errors

its just not doing the console.warn or addEffect

[warm mason]

anti-multiplayer support

+no reliance on player == undefined

[shy leaf]

youre trying to get the first player

instead, do:

world.getPlayers().forEach(player => {
  player.addEffect()
})

or

for (const player of world.getPlayers()) {
  player.addEffect()
}

[nova flame]

oh right

i usually do that but windsurf tried that way so i thought it would be the same

@shy leaf

any idea why#

i found out

i think

[shy leaf]

the third argument accepts EntityEffectOptions

not a number

do

player.addEffect("regeneration", 1, { amplifier: 1 });

[nova flame]

not working

no errors

[shy leaf]

out of my reach then

[nova flame]

found this on jayly site

villager.addEffect(MinecraftEffectTypes.Poison, duration, { amplifier: 1 });

what is vanilla-data

i never touched this

[shy leaf]

its an external library thats not included in native module

you need to either get the npm to use it

or use standalone file made by jayly

[warm mason]

it works

[nova flame]

not for me

I was trying to heal a player though effects, and Instant_Health amplifier 2 kills the player?!?

I guess I'll have to just get the health component and set health, but still

[shy leaf]

huh??

[full idol]

No idea! /effect @s instant_health 2 2 killed me

[shy leaf]

wtf 😭

overflow maybe???

but that shouldnt happen??

if its an overflow, it shouldnt trigger entityHurt event, but still, can you try tracking health changes via event callbacks?

[round bone]

Why would you even use effects for healing in the first place?

[shy leaf]

i dont see why not

[round bone]

Component is a bit more reliable in my opinion, also a cleaner solution in code

[fleet tinsel]

Is there any way to capture private messages? Like using /w and /tell?

[round bone]

Without a proxy or custom server software, you can't.

[shut citrus]

hox to fix property values return undefined?

[wary edge]

You can't use those query in the behaviour.

[shut citrus]

How do you know that it can't be used?

mojang doesn't note in documentation

[sharp elbow]

It does not make sense for it to. The server has no knowledge of the entity's geometry.

With entities, the behavior pack simply defines how the entity should interact with the world mechanically. It cannot know what the client definition might look like, because you could overwrite the definition (or geo) to use any other geo—now you are looking at two different sources of truth based on which client should be the one to interpret it.

Now you could hardcode what values those queries would return into the default values for those properties. Could even have some kind of script that populates it for you; read the geo, find the head bone, then stick the x-, y-, and z-axes of the bone's origin into each respective property.

[snow knoll]

I'm using a runInterval for a detection system that I made. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it detect the moment a player has a dynamic property set (kind of vague so), here's an example (not actual code):

system.runInterval(() => {
    if (!player.hasTag("startInterval") return;
    player.setDynamicProperty("TF", true)
    if (player.getDynamicProperty("TF") == true) {
    player.setDynamicProperty("TF", false)
    ...
    }
})```

How can I stop this from constantly looping through true and false every tick and only detect the moment that the loop initially starts?

Any help is sincerely appreciated

[warm mason]

Why do you need such a system?

[snow knoll]

Great question honestly
I'm essentially trying to make an animation controller in a runInterval since I don't use player.json files (very dumbed down version since the regular one is a bit more lengthy)

So I need to detect the moment movement occurs in the player but not continuously so that it doesn't keep replaying animations from the tick that it starts

Its very specific movement in terms of its purpose so different from just walking and running regularly

I think I might've figured out a way using an event that's tied to when the movement begins so I'll see 🤷‍♂️
My apologies for being vague

[warm mason]

Why not just call a function instead of changing the dynamicProperty and then detecting its change?

[harsh robin]

anyone know the lastest stable server version?

[warm mason]

2.2.0

[harsh robin]

good

[harsh robin]

what abt server ui?

[warm mason]

2.0.0

[harsh robin]

where do i find this at i keep forgetting

[warm mason]

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

[knotty salmon]

Doesn't that show latest stable is 2.3.0?

[shy leaf]

it does

[snow knoll]

Cause the function would be called every tick still, (or am I misunderstanding?)

[warm mason]

Depends on your system actually..

[snow knoll]

Do you mean changing it for a runTimeout?
Do elaborate (please)

[warm mason]

I mean, I don't know what system you have and I don't really understand what's going on. Maybe you could send me the entire code or explain it in more detail?

[snow knoll]

I'll do the latter since the former option may not be do-able due to 150 lines of code

[snow knoll]

Basically, I made a flight system some time ago, but changed the system to not use player.json and when I did, it meant the animations were stiffened/static, so now I'm trying to create a system that mimics an actual animation controller.
So my plan if to make 2 different sets of uses of player.playAnimation(). One set to control the player beginning to move, and another set for just transitioning between animations
Because of this, I need the system to detect the players movement for the first moment of movement, so that if the player moves forwards in the beginning moments of flying, that movement will trigger an animation relating to the first state
(If I didn't make sense let me know)

[warm mason]

Well, you can just use WeakSet to store players who have already played the start animation.

Sorry for the late reply

[snow knoll]

Thank you for replying at all lol

Is WeakSet from base javascript or script API?

[warm mason]

[cursive fog]

Are there any script component that allows the player to summon a projectile
Similar to minecraft spawn entity

[halcyon phoenix]

wdy mminecraft spawn entity?

[cursive fog]

Basically spawns an entity when this component is triggered
Like launching a snowball

[broken pawn]

like how entity.dimension.spawnEntity() ?

[shy leaf]

i dont think so?

the closest thing you can have is to spawn a projectile and use .shoot() method from projectile component

[warm mason]

/**
 * @param {String} projectileId
 * @param {import('@minecraft/server').Dimension} dimension
 * @param {import('@minecraft/server').Vector3} location
 * @param {import('@minecraft/server').Vector3} direction
 * @param {Object} options
 * @param {Number} [options.power]
 * @param {Number} [options.uncertainty] Controls the accuracy of the shot. A value of 0 is perfect accuracy.
 * @param {import('@minecraft/server').Entity} [options.owner]
 */
function shootProjectile(projectileId, dimension, location, direction, options = {}) {
    const entity = dimension.spawnEntity(projectileId, location);
    const projectile = entity.getComponent('projectile');
    if (projectile == undefined) return;

    projectile.owner = options.owner;

    const power = options.power ?? 1;
    projectile.shoot({
        x: direction.x * power,
        y: direction.y * power,
        z: direction.z * power
    }, { uncertainty: options.uncertainty });

    return projectile;
}

Usage example:

shootProjectile('arrow', player.dimension, player.getHeadLocation(), player.getViewDirection(), {
    power: 2,
    uncertainty: 5,
    owner: player
});

[cursive fog]

[unique apex]

is it worth it to implement a proper search algorithm if I'm searching the players inventory a lot? or is checking every slot good enough

[wary edge]

Does https://stirante.com/script/server/2.3.0-beta.1.21.113-stable/classes/Container.html#find not suffice?

[unique apex]

thats fantastic i didnt know that was a thing

and ive read this exact page 💀

embarassing

[shy leaf]

i remember someone pointing out that contains/find/findLast methods check for the exact same ItemStack that was passed into the methods

and the methods only accept ItemStack as parameter

so you still need to use old loop way for finding items with same typeId or something like that

[shy leaf]

@unique apex i think its worth pinging to let you know this

[unique apex]

okay thanks :) thats useful for me

[shy leaf]

i think i had a function used for inventory loop, hold on...

[shy leaf]

does the inventory search have to be done constantly?

[unique apex]

no i call it only explicitly but will be doing so a lot

working with simulated players

[shy leaf]

i see, so not runInterval then

[shy leaf]

function inventoryAddLore(source) {
    const inv = source.getComponent('inventory').container;
    let slot = inv.size;

    while (slot--) {
        const itemSlot = inv.getSlot(slot);
        if (!itemSlot.hasItem()) continue;

        const item = itemSlot.getItem();
        if (!item) continue;

        // ...
    }
}

this is the snippet of old inventory loop code i used before

im not sure if making an algorithm is worth it since they all boil down to looping

[unique apex]

Decrementing from the inventory size is so smart actually

[shy leaf]

i remember getting this from somewhere

but i forgor

[unique apex]

Iirc they're mostly used for much larger databases but I was wondering if somehow in bedrocks quirky world if it was more cost efficient with a search algorithm or smth

[shy leaf]

meh, unless you meant larger database as in huge servers that does heavy lifting in a regular basis

i think itll be fine

[unique apex]

Yeah, something more than 36 slots lol

Thanks for the advice!

For some reason, when I change the state of a block that has 2 custom components, one of the components stops working

Both components are registered in the block "components" property and not inside any permutation

I even tried getting the component with block.getComponent() and it becomes undefined once in the second state

[knotty plaza]

But the component that doesn't stop working is actually being redefined in that permutation

this was done at 1.21.3

Oh i have them blocked dont remember why memories horrible

As soon as I added this line the error appears once per world load, when I interact with a block (This line of code is under a playerInteractWithBlock before event)

The script still performs normally, however. I also found it odd that the content log says its a JSON error

just do itemStack.typeId != ITEMS.AntiqueCodex
