Script API General

[thorn flicker]

if you did the movement speed component method

unless im not remembering correctly

[sage portal]

yeah it hasn't happened for me or the few playtesters I've had. An unintentional but welcome side effect.

[thorn flicker]

im talking about the setCurrentValue method for it in scripts

but it should be the same

[sage portal]

ah, yeah I've never messed with movement in script, so I wouldn't know

[thorn flicker]

it sucks that it does this though, would be nice if they fixed it

somehow

[sage portal]

sounds like another thing that'll be in the back of the fridge, but I'll be optimistic

[thorn flicker]

im guessing that it doesnt do that when you edit it directly in the player.json?

[sage portal]

nope, never had any problems with speed in .json

my only issue is that it's, well, incompatible

[thorn flicker]

yeah

i wonder how long its been since the movement component class was added in the script api

was added in 1.12.0

[sage portal]

that's admittedly later than I expected, but still early enough that I'm surprised they didn't work on this yet

then again, we still can't do things like teleport players with velocity or set rotation

[thorn flicker]

yeah we can

[sage portal]

we can now?

[thorn flicker]

rotation yeah?

im not sure about velocity

[sage portal]

I recently heard someone complaining that they couldn't, but I might be misremembering

[thorn flicker]

you cant use the setRotation method on players

maybe you got confused? or hell maybe im misremembering

[sage portal]

ah, yeah that's what I figured.

[thorn flicker]

just another thing to hope they fix

[warm mason]

What's wrong?

[thorn flicker]

their custom blocks are not getting detected by getBlockFromRay

[snow knoll]

Why not just use player.applyKnockback

There's no effect on FOV

[thorn flicker]

thats not good for this

[warm mason]

Sounds like he is just doing something wrong

[sage portal]

that sounds egregriously complicated

[snow knoll]

Its not

[warm mason]

If you don't want to use movement component, at least use applyImpluse instead of this

[snow knoll]

And I understand that it's bad for performance but its just a matter of what is more worth it to you

[snow knoll]

Hence offering it as an option

[thorn flicker]

applyImpulse is bad too for this

it'll be weird

and glitchy

[warm mason]

Better than applyKnockback

[snow knoll]

What makes applyImpulse better than Knockback anyways

[warm mason]

applyImpulse is smother

[sage portal]

For context: I'm using this movement for a boss rush map

[warm mason]

Did I write that correctly?..

[sage portal]

for stuff like this #add-ons message

[snow knoll]

I know
Which is why I said anyways

[thorn flicker]

smoother

[snow knoll]

Wrong @

[thorn flicker]

wasnt talking to you

[snow knoll]

I meant myself

[sage portal]

So using things like impulse and knockback seems like too many variables to account for when the goal is to have the players input control where they're moving

[thorn flicker]

lol

confusion

[sage portal]

oh oops, my chat wasn't scrolling

[thorn flicker]

small intervals of speed boosts vs just the speed being consistent

i wouldnt touch impulse/knockback stuff

[sage portal]

yeah, same idea. the map is a high paced fighting game, so janky movement is really going to make it unfun, especially on the higher difficulties which were designed with movement in mind.

[sharp elbow]

If you need applyImpulse, go for it in single applications. Things like flinging a player one way one time (which applyKnockback will do just fine with too)

[sage portal]

I'm guessing I'll stick with player.json for now, I'll probably have a dev mode to mess around with the script movement component on the side to see if I'll fully commit to it.

[thorn flicker]

in this context, would it be good for changing movement speed overall? i wouldnt think so

like, I think it would be glitchy

[sharp elbow]

No; if you need the player to move slower, modify the movement component either in the player behavior or in scripting. It's got some quirks of its own, but it puts full interpretation of the movement on the client

[thorn flicker]

thats what I suggested

however

.

[sharp elbow]

Yup, not great

[thorn flicker]

but yeah

it sucks

I wish this didnt happen

[warm mason]

Some attribute components need a "modifier" or "multiplier" property

[sharp elbow]

I have wanted to write a small attribute system that abstracts over stuff like the movement component. Like the attribute system Java Edition has

[warm mason]

I already did

:p

[earnest meadow]

It just passes through some of my blocks

really stupid stuff

[warm mason]

Show js code and code of the blocks

And does the result change if u use vanilla blocks?

[earnest meadow]

yes, it works fine for vanilla blocks

[warm mason]

.

[earnest meadow]

nothing in them are particularly different to the usual way of doing it, just used dimension get block from ray

[warm mason]

It should work with custom blocks, there is probably something wrong with the code

[earnest meadow]

it works fine to some of my custom blocks

not entirely

so that's the functions problem or something

[warm mason]

Show the block codes

[earnest meadow]

I don't understand how that's relevant, does the block json affect the function?

[warm mason]

Yes

Since the function takes into account blocks collision box

[earnest meadow]

I guess that makes much more sense but basically, it's thin like a vine block

I'm not on my PC rn

[warm mason]

Well.. it still should work..

Or maybe not

[earnest meadow]

Yeah, the block still takes in 16x16 but just thin

which doesn't make sense of the function not working

[warm mason]

Minecraft has troubles with thin blocks

[distant tulip]

Rays perform a check every n step, if your block is really thin the ray may skip it in some cases

It also skip blocks if the ray is towards the edge

[warm mason]

Bruh

[thorn flicker]

kinda related, but have you had any success with the entity ray cast method

ive never got that to work properly

[distant tulip]

It works fine for me, what is the problem you are having with it

[warm mason]

They could make it more optimized and accurate

[thorn flicker]

i dont remember

[distant tulip]

How so?

[thorn flicker]

so im just asking if anyone else had an issue with it, and if not, maybe I did something wrong I guess

[distant tulip]

My current project uses it, so yeah, it works

[earnest meadow]

I tried shooting the ray at the block's center, no luck there either

[distant tulip]

How big is the block collision box

Not selection box

[earnest meadow]

Oh shoot, come to think of it, basically like a vine, nothing

but I need it to be player passable

[supple perch]

yeah sure

you don't need to worry about that

btw is it possible to have optional dependencies now or no?

i haven't been keeping up with script api much tbh

[supple perch]

by this, i mean having dependencies like @minecraft/server-net in your dependencies array in manifest.json

that won't stop the scripts from working

sorry if i didn't word it correctly

english is not my native language 😅

[sharp elbow]

Importing the script without the dependency throws an error; you could catch and swallow that error.

[supple perch]

yea i know

it's just

the game disables your script altogether

before that part

if one of the dependencies aren't available

[sharp elbow]

Does it do this if you use a dynamic import? With import("@minecraft/server-ui")

[supple perch]

not exactly

because it's available in all environments

unlike @server-net

it's not even there unless it's in the bds environment

[supple perch]

though i could be wrong and it does the same behaviour for it too

[sharp elbow]

Ah, server-net. I should have read a little more closely

[supple perch]

i heard they were working on optional dependencies a while ago

[supple perch]

no worries

[supple perch]

though i haven't exactly been keeping up

[supple perch]

if anyone knows an answer to my question:

i would absolutely appreciate it

[weary umbra]

does any one has an creative fly function? I tried to recreate the creative fly so I can use it in survival mode but I failed, (I dont want use /ability)

[prime zenith]

Can i make a npc dislogue entirely with script

[prime zenith]

What is the script syntax to opendialogue

[shut citrus]

what is command macro, any example?

[prime zenith]

Is there a native way to call a function from a script or only run command

[prime zenith]

Wtf did they do to the chat send before event

Anyone here

[mystic harness]

did what

[prime zenith]

World.beforeEvents.chatSend is not a valid event anymore

I verified syntax with an old pack they changed domething

I cant get it to work at all i went threw all avail options bridge has but nothing is available idk how to find whatever the change is

Oh shit chat send is in beta thats why

[spice finch]

Does anyone have a link to something that talks about where the new file locations are after the update?

[prime zenith]

Wow chat send has been in beta for years why just why

Im really annoyed at the 3 errors im getting that are minecrafts problem 3 duplicated vanilla recipes my pack has nothing to do with

[fallow minnow]

#announcements message

does anyone know why system.run does absolutely nothing for required permissions?

like what

wrapping it in system.run does nothing

[ripe dune]

maybe if you put it in worldLoad event

[fallow minnow]

it is 😭

i had to do something like this

[warm mason]

Because you aren't using it, lol

[fallow minnow]

no

[warm mason]

U are using getDimension without system.run

[fallow minnow]

yes i know

wrapping it in something does nothing either way

[warm mason]

Wrap the function call in system.run and it should work

[fallow minnow]

doesnt

[warm mason]

Show code

[fallow minnow]

i already got it working its fine

[warm mason]

How then?

[fallow minnow]

this

since the dimension is used in mapForm

i have to do allat

[warm mason]

Weird way...

[cinder shadow]

literally unusable docs

Oh wait. that's actually how hunger and exhaustion are defined

why

[round bone]

Use enumerations to bypass it

[mystic harness]

do bossbars dont change dynamically? i tried to set nametag intervally but seems like it doest change at all

theres no way im gonna use hud title text for it once again 😭😭

[round bone]

Does not change :/

[mystic harness]

💔💔💔

[frozen vine]

If a block JSON object contains minecraft:tick but uses the custom component onRandomTick, is the component considered or completely ignored?

[open urchin]

All blocks randomly tick even if you aren't hooked into the onRandomTick event using custom components
The queued ticking applied to a block with the tick component requires the game to store an additional tick delay value for each block that has the tick component

if you aren't using onTick you shouldn't have the tick component since it's adding additional unnecessary data to the world

queued ticking (minecraft:tick & onTick) is completely separate to random ticking

[frozen vine]

In other words, it doesn't affect onRandomTick at all, it just makes the internal save code unnecessarily heavier?

[open urchin]

yes, onRandomTick is purely controlled by randomtickspeed, onTick is controlled by minecraft:tick

[frozen vine]

Okay, thank you for the information. I was unsure because it was used in the leaves of the add-on I'm working on, and I'm updating them. I wanted to know if I can remove it or not.

But according to the information I can remove this without any problem, I think it's just a missing component because before the leaves used onTick and it was changed to onRandomTick.

[open urchin]

leaves shouldn't use queued ticking, I assume it was implemented incorrectly originally

[frozen vine]

Yes, because he wasn't affected by the random tick world option like vanilla leaves.

With onRandomTick, it is affected.

[narrow patio]

Is there a way to detect if a block that has been jumped on got broken by a subscribed event?

[warm mason]

huh?

wdym "by a subscribed event"?

[narrow patio]

a event

[warm mason]

there are a lot of events

If you mean all events, then definitely not

[narrow patio]

darn

[wary edge]

Whats your format version?

You need a format version of 1.21.80 or higher to use v2

[silver agate]

I’m having problems related to modal forms. Apparently it can’t define the default value of my dropdown correctly

[ripe dune]

.dropdown("§rLock Mode", lockModes, { defaultValueIndex: ruleLockValue })

[silver agate]

K, I’ll try out

[silver agate]

It worked, ty

[sinful portal]

add a dynamicProperty to player to that specific block that was "jumped on" then if it on break event, trigger your logic when player dynamic property is set

[narrow patio]

Is OnBreak a custom component or a normal component

[fallow minnow]

they probably mean the playerBreakBlock event

[amber berry]

thats a event they prob want to define a custom component to a block

[amber berry]

if so yes its not a normal component you have to make one in scripts

[sinful portal]

yes

[supple perch]

so update on this

i found the mob and changed it's component

but i need it to be dynamic

how exactly do i integrate it with player.setPropertyOverride

[supple perch]

by this, i mean i don't want it to just target players with tag, i want it to target everyone without a said tag/property

[supple perch]

now as far as this goes

i don't think it exactly is server side

i haven't used it tho tbh

so idk what I'm doing

i kinda need some more guidance

also don't mind my very late replies and such, I'm just a bit busy irl

yea i don't think it's possible to select what players not to target based on a changing property

there isn't a single filter that does that

they all require a static value

[sinful portal]

how to add names or nametags in entity spawn?

[small river]

sry im rly bad at scripting, does anyone know how can I make a script so my projectile can break all the glass blocks when thrown ? (when it hits that glass block)

[mystic harness]

probably use projectileHitBlock after event

[supple perch]

spawn the entity with something like:

const entity = dimension.spawnEntity(...);

and set the nameTag by doing:

entity.nameTag = "§aLime, slime? crime!";

[supple perch]

btw just ended up using has_tag filter and settled on making the tag for targets, not teammates

[thorn flicker]

if you mean detecting when an entity spawn, just use entitySpawn afterEvent

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.3.0/classes/EntitySpawnAfterEvent.html

[supple perch]

bonus: you can modify entity names (the default ones) in RP/texts/<language>.lang if you want that too

[thorn flicker]

and do the last thing he suggested

[supple perch]

dw i don't mind it, the name.
using “he” is better tho

[thorn flicker]

huh

[thorn flicker]

oh I changed "some dude" to "he" because i thought it would make more sense because im responding to your message, which shows your name.

[supple perch]

ah right

grammer

lol i thought it was just wording

[thorn flicker]

it was?

lol

[supple perch]

no like

uh

how do i explain

like

i can't explain 😅

but i do hope somehow you understand what i mean 😅

[thorn flicker]

honestly I dont

but thats fine

[supple perch]

good enough for me too lol

there we go

i am more identifiable now 😀

[thorn flicker]

that wasnt a problem lol

[thorn flicker]

but now I know what you meant

[deep arrow]

Hey peeps

[modest bone]

can somebody give me hint why I get "not a function" for Dimension.getWeather(); ? I saw something about beta so I did enabled Beta APIs and Im on "min_engine_version": [1, 21, 120] which looked also correct

[wheat condor]

it may be a preview feature?

[modest bone]

and how would I activate that? 🙂

[random flint]

A preview feature means it's on Minecraft preview... (Some kind of Snapshot for early-access update)

[wheat condor]

its a different version

go on minecraft launcher and select latest preview

[modest bone]

I got that but I dont believe I have launcher, Im on MS store version

[random flint]

Is Dimension the class? Or the instance?

maybe try: world.getDimension("overworld").getWeather()

[modest bone]

I did simplified it, I do use basicaly what you wrote

[honest spear]

it might be in beta

[wheat condor]

yeah its on preview

[random flint]

Well, weatherChange afterEvents doesn't seem to be on beta~
-# Try using the event listener instead XD

[honest spear]

afaik its in beta

[modest bone]

😆 it sais beta ... Im confused

[wheat condor]

thats beta in preview docs

[honest spear]

yea but its also available in stable mc in beta modules

just sayin

[wheat condor]

yeah it can

buty doesnt preview have a different beta version?

[random flint]

To use the Beta API, you also need to define the API's version dependency on the manifest JSON.

[modest bone]

Thanks so much, it stopped complaining 🙂 ... now I can go back to figuring out if my idea works 🙂

[random flint]

Welp, I guess I could manage that... entity hit listener already exists... so just add that to the spaghetti.

[wicked girder]

lol

[deep arrow]

Its a class

[thorn flicker]

thats not what they are asking

they are asking if they are importing Dimension and trying to execute the method off of that, or getting the dimension properly from an event,
because obviously the first thing wont work.

[deep arrow]

Oh i see, my mistake i didnt fully see the replied message

[thorn flicker]

i think the question was not worded the best anyway

[deep arrow]

Well to be fair at times it can be a race to say what you want while you can as to not get ignored in this chat

Good eveningg, would anyone happen to know why this script no longer works? The version is 1.21.124, and it does not seem to run :(
The functions exist, the sword has the trigger component

{
    const array = [
        "sword_check",
        "shield_bash_snow",
        "empty_check1",
        "empty_check2",
        "empty_check3",
        "empty_check4",
        "empty_check5",
        "sword_check1",
        "sword_check2",
        "sword_check3",        
        "slash_retreat",
        "spell_check_1",
        "spell_check_2"
    ];

    world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize.subscribe(({ itemComponentRegistry }) => {
        itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("hoarforst_antumbra:trigger", {
            onHitEntity(event) {
                const player = event.attackingEntity;
                player.runCommand(`function ${array[Math.floor(Math.random() * array.length)]}`);
            }
        });
    });
}

[knotty plaza]

world.beforeEvents.worldInitialize -> system.beforeEvents.startup

[warped kelp]

I seee

I'll try that out, thank youu

[remote oyster]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.4.0-beta.1.21.124-stable/classes/StartupEvent.html

[warped kelp]

That did not work

[remote oyster]

If it threw any warnings or errors you should share that.

[warped kelp]

How hard is it to make my swords run a function on hit 😭

[warped kelp]

The first one (which worked previous versions) ran no warnings, but it wasn't working either

[round bone]

10 lines of code

[warped kelp]

:3

[wicked girder]

Is it possible to prevent withers from breaking blocks? not the explosions but when they move and stuff

[warped kelp]

I'm sticking to components

[remote oyster]

When you say previous version, which version specifically? Because your original code tried to implement the logic using an outdated method that was changed quite some time ago when they released the 2.0 version of the API.

https://youtu.be/owfBDnOHI_o?si=UyF0YEHq6SmJVvDJ

That video explains the changes in the order of operations.

[amber granite]

?

Wait

Did they change scripting intierly

[remote oyster]

Going on a year now. They didn't change much externally back then. It was mostly on how everything executed under the hood and in what order. We just had to adapt our current code at that time to follow suit with that new order. For the majority it was a seamless change with very little issues. For others, it was a learning curve.

[amber granite]

Ohk

[warped kelp]

1.21.113

The addon worked fine on that version

[remote oyster]

Not sure how it could have? worldInitialize wasn't supported in that version, whether using Beta or Stable.

It had already been replaced by that point.

[warped kelp]

Damn aight

Must've been hallucinating 🥀

[small river]

tbh i don't know at all how to make a script

[mystic harness]

💔

[small river]

ik ik 😭

[mystic harness]

its okay

one sec

@small river

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

world.afterEvents.projectileHitBlock.subscribe((ev) => {
    if (ev.projectile.typeId !== "minecraft:snowball") return;

    const block = ev.getBlockHit()?.block;
    if (!block) return;

    if (block.typeId.includes("glass")) {
        block.setType("minecraft:air");
    }
});

just a guess, correct me if im wrong

[small river]

damn ty so much i'll try it

bro thank you it works @mystic harness

because its shows no item texture for me

after the .130 update

[valid ice]

That’s crazy

[harsh hare]

the id testing addon also seems not working

also no texture

[valid ice]

Well, you can try to fix it yourself, or wait until I get home from work

[harsh hare]

idk how to fix this tbh

    if (!location) return undefined;

    try {
        // @ts-ignore
        return location.dimension.spawnEntity("cb:charrette", location);
    } catch (e) {
        console.warn("Erreur spawn charrette: " + e);
        return undefined;
    }
}

hi, someone knows how to bypass or an alternative solution to that

[wary edge]

There is a mistmatch, why is your content saying cb:flag but your code says cb:charrette

[somber onyx]

yes, normal I have two almost identical functions for each entity

function summonFlag(targetNation: Nation): Entity | undefined {
    const location = getEnemySpawnLocation(targetNation);
    if (!location) return undefined;

    try {
        // @ts-ignore
        return location.dimension.spawnEntity("cb:flag", location);
    } catch (e) {
        console.warn("Erreur spawn drapeau: " + e);
        return undefined;
    }
}

[wary edge]

Ok so...is cb:flag a valid entity?

[somber onyx]

is a custom entity

[wary edge]

And you can summon it

[somber onyx]

yes

oh no indeed not flag I hadn’t paid attention

(permalink: https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/modules/_minecraft_server.html#installation)

[mystic harness]

what stable beta to be used for the module in 1.21.130?

is it 2.6.0 beta?

[shy leaf]

2.5.0-beta

[mystic harness]

and for stable?

[shy leaf]

2.4.0

[mystic harness]

okay thanks

dang it i cant see the changelog for 2.5.0 beta where can i find it

[marble sigil]

If I wanna spawn alot of XP at one location, do I just do this:

for(let i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:xp_orb", {
x: x + ((Math.random() - 0.5) * 5),
y: y + ((Math.random() - 0.5) * 5),
z: z + ((Math.random() - 0.5) * 5)
});
}```
?

[harsh hare]

have you find a fix?

[valid ice]

Nope

Fiddled around for two hours, no luck

[prime zenith]

I never got an answer to this how many custum items do you think minecraft can handle

[honest spear]

try it

hard to guess

[prime zenith]

I feel like i need to find an alternative to thd parts i want to add

The parts alone adds 209 items not counting ore an bars tools weapons and many more

[runic crypt]

How to detect right-clicks when player is empty-handed?

[prime zenith]

Use interact with block event check mainhand snd offhand to be empty

If you want @runic crypt i have a file that can help you thats actually is pretty easy to do

[runic crypt]

I want to detect a right-click without interacting with any block 😅

[prime zenith]

Maybe item use idk but i think if you use nothing it comes back undefined you can test that its undefined ima test

Nvm i dont think theres an even reading judt a right click im looking at how the gsme does a right click snd it does nothing on its own

I think i can detect a left click with no item tho lol

Ya i can detect a left click and i know i can detect sneaking just no right click

@runic crypt there is no way to detect a right click thats in the air

You can detect every other thing they can target but they need to be targetting something

[honest spear]

yea block entity or item in hand

[prime zenith]

Keep in mind even if the block or entity has no interaction aspect it still triggers event

Its weird as i can detect every other thing crouch left click ect just not right click

[mystic harness]

whats new in 2.5.0-beta

[prime zenith]

I need advice

So i have 11 parts of 19 tiers plus each tier has its own set of ores bars armor tools weapons im wondering is there a better way so im not making hundreds of custum items

[honest spear]

check changelog

[last latch]

Could anyone help me with the camera thingy? Is it possible to rotate the camera with in_out_cubic animation whilst facing a location?

[mystic harness]

Minecraft's?

cus im not used to check mc changelog in terms of server module change nad now server module is missing 2.5.0 changelog

[harsh hare]

dang

maybe there some update in json ui ig that makes unable to use aux item id

[shell sigil]

Is it possible to hide form
I want to hide a server form Evey 1s if player don't click anything

[round bone]

I think you're forced to use a command to accomplish it

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Commands/camera

[sharp elbow]

May be easier to create a new entity whose sole purpose is to die and drop EXP. You could pass in the value to drop as a property, then read that property in the entity's "minecraft:experience_reward" component

[fallow minnow]

how do i know which biome im in

[shy leaf]

2.4.0 has Dimension.getBiome(location: Vector3)

it returns BiomeType, which has id property

[warm mason]

depends on how the functionality of these items should differ

[prime zenith]

Well parts are just crafting components made from a parts crafter

I mean im half tempted to just create my own inventory using properties

I mean i already made 1 parts crafter be able to act as 19 different parts crafters threw an upgrade system

Can anyone teach me how you add a sound file and call the sound file in screipt

[harsh hare]

still no fix for this?

[broken pawn]

i guess it's working

[prime zenith]

Can anyone teach me how you add a sound file and call the sound file in screipt

[sage portal]

Am I dumb or is there no stopSound() method?

[earnest meadow]

there is but it's on beta

odd, i know

[sage portal]

I don't even know if I wanna facepalm or laugh

[prisma shard]

And more funily enough stopSound was added in a bit ago recent update

[prisma shard]

you can put sounds in the sounds/my_new_sounds folder for example
and define them using sound_definitions.json.
Then you can play the sounds using /playsound or using playSound method in scripts as of the name you defined in your sound definitions.
look at the wiki for complete information:
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/concepts/sounds

[prime zenith]

Ohh thats super easy

Minecraft accepts a .wav file for dound correct

Btw dont ever let ai try to read 1 of your poems to you it did horrible

[sinful portal]

are custom crossbows only works in script API?

[prisma shard]

what?

[sinful portal]

the provided vanilla bp official pack repo does not contain crossbow.json nor the bow.json similarly how they removed blocks.json files. the shooter component in the bp items/item.json doesnt specify the properties of a crossbow, all options are only similar to bows such as charge on draw, launch powerscale, etc.

I recently saw in the script resources of someone making a crossbow template as someone provided it to me, but they only used script API on the crossbow loading system.

[worn sphinx]

Why is the watchdogTerminate code broken in version 1.21.30?
Code:

system.beforeEvents.watchdogTerminate.subscribe((event) => {
  event.cancel = true;
  console.warn(
    `[Watchdog] Cancelled critical exception of type '${event.cancelationReason}'`
  );
});

[prisma shard]

mojang doesn't provide any source code for their vanilla items and it is normal to not see crossbow.json there. If you want to make a crossbow, You can just look at this template: https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1429411289402441798
I don't know what problem you're having about it using Script API for loading system.. The template i sent is not outdated.

[warm mason]

are u using beta-APIs?

if not, that's the reason

[worn sphinx]

"2.4.0"

[warm mason]

watchdogTerminate is in beta, you can't use it in stable versions

[worn sphinx]

Okay, I'll fix it.

[warm mason]

why do u need the event tho?

[worn sphinx]

Idk, I saw some addon was broken so I had to fix it

[silver agate]

Is there any way to spawn an item with enchantments and durability with dimension.spawnItem()?

[cinder shadow]

You can modify the itemStack before spawning the item and it will have all of the enchantments/durability you set

[silver agate]

So i put:

const i = new ItemStack(‘id’,1);
i ..
(Changes I need..)

dimension.spawnItem(i)```
??

[cinder shadow]

yes

const newItem = new ItemStack('minecraft:diamond_sword', 1);
    newItem.getComponent("minecraft:enchantable").addEnchantment(new EnchantmentType({type: 'unbreaking', level: 3}));
    Dimension.spawnItem(newItem, player.location)```

[silver agate]

Ok, ty

[cyan basin]

Fixed the Aux IDs not displaying and updated the Type IDs. I've somewhat rewritten it in typescript so some of the code will be different. Also I removed the Furnace Form (if you used it).
https://github.com/Sprixvy/Chest-Form

[somber onyx]

hey, did you know how one can efficiently store an entity in a dynamicProperties ?

[distant tulip]

You can't store/get all it data, use structure api

[round bone]

Do you have a script to view all AUX ID?

[cyan basin]

i don't have a script to view them i just have a python script that fetches all aux ids from some guys api and then creates a ts file for it

he seems to always keep it up to date so why not use it

[round bone]

Could you send an API? I was looking for this for a bit longer

[spare fox]

Hey @valid ice how do you generate this: https://github.com/Herobrine643928/Chest-UI/blob/main/BP/scripts/extensions/typeIds.js

Wondering if there is a way to automate this, as your really slow to update it

[supple perch]

yea i need this too

would be fantastic to have

[harsh hare]

you can get it from https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/main/metadata/vanilladata_modules/mojang-items.json

[harsh hare]

yo fr

thank you

so yeah, something was wrong in json ui about aux id

[cyan basin]

adding inventory checks next 😎

ignore the names 🤣 was just adding custom nametag visibilty, enchant support and clickable inventory slots

i made this a while ago but lost it to the unknown 😭

Then you would just check the type by doing res.type ('container' or 'inventory') ```ts
const res = await form.show(player);

if (res.canceled) return;
if (res.type === 'container') {
console.warn(container, ${res.slotIndex});
return;
}```

[spare fox]

oh weird... why was this needed?

it seems you need a - ']' now compared to the last update?

did mc add something?

[cyan basin]

it's just some goofy bypass for it lmao

[spare fox]

how did you figure this out?

what changed

[cyan basin]

honestly.. my friend figured it out for his server then gave it to me lol

he knows a bit more json ui than me

[spare fox]

this is important, can you mention him here?

[cyan basin]

he said he doesn't even know either 💀 that's just what he does and it works

[spare fox]

theres no way you would randomly do that

we need to figure out who did this

[cyan basin]

@naive tinsel

[naive tinsel]

sup

[spare fox]

how did you figure this out #1067535608660107284 message

[naive tinsel]

i had it in my ui already and mine was working after the update

[spare fox]

well that one thing is the reason it works

[naive tinsel]

you can do percentage multiplication on the string or minus some random character and it fixes it

[naive tinsel]

yeah i know

[spare fox]

so minecraft must have changed something?

[naive tinsel]

ig so

[spare fox]

@spring axle any idea what changed in JSON-UI to cause this? (#1067535608660107284 message) Basically, now you need to subtract something for a string to convert to a number?

[spring axle]

We updated some text formatting stuff recently, so maybe that?

[spare fox]

is there docs anywhere for what was changed?

as this might break a ton of my UI's

[steady heron]

https://www.updatedjsonui.com/changelog

[cyan basin]

this was the change that was in the changelog

[naive tinsel]

('%.10s' * #title_text)
(#title_text - ']')
either of these methods work, you have to manipulate the string in some way and it fixes, idk why lol

[spare fox]

oh shoot, @deep arrow

[cyan basin]

There was also this Added resolve_ancestor_scope boolean to view bindings as a way to bind to an ancestor that matches the source_control_name but it's not much use to me. Also maybe move this to #1067870274894172260 lol

[umbral scarab]

Could someone help me understand why this doesn't work? (Console.warn isnt being ran)

const boots = new ItemStack("minecraft:leather_boots", 1);
        const dyeComp = boots.getComponent(ItemComponentTypes.Dyeable);
        
        if (dyeComp) {
            console.warn("1");
            dyeComp.color = {blue: 255, red: 255, green: 255};
        }

[naive tinsel]

because it doesnt have that component

simple answer

[deep arrow]

What

Who r u

[umbral scarab]

Shouldn't leather boots have that component though?

[naive tinsel]

list the components with getComponents

i think its called that

[cyan basin]

it is called that

[umbral scarab]

ok tyty

[harsh hare]

you said that you using typescript, can you also provide the typescript code in the github cause i also use typescript

[cyan basin]

Yeah, I'll do that shortly

Will this Works?

AE.entitySpawn.subscribe(({cause,entity})=>{let EFamily=entity?.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.TypeFamily);
    if(EFamily?.hasTypeFamily("monster")){
        if(entity.dimension.id=="minecraft:overworld"){ImplantEffect(entity,EffectPools,0);}
        else if(entity.dimension.id=="minecraft:nether"){ImplantEffect(entity,EffectPools,1);}
        else if(entity.dimension.id=="minecraft:the_end"){ImplantEffect(entity,EffectPools,2);}
    };
});

i mean the "entity.dimension.id=="

[warm mason]

yep, should work

[broken pawn]

well, imma test this

also it's always better using else for performance right?

now it's my 1st year learning Js

🗣️ 🔥 🔥

[honest spear]

don't focus on this optimalizations they are meanless, focus more on structures of your code for example, avoid heavy loops in loops and more thats where performance hit the most

[broken pawn]

sure enough, i'd love if my code can use UpperCase

[subtle cove]

const N = ["overworld","nether","the_end"].findIndex(dim=> dim==entity.dimension.id.substring(10));
ImplantEffect(entity,EffectPools,N);

const N = {o:0,n:1,t:2}[entity.dimension.id[10]];
ImplantEffect(entity,EffectPools,N);

mind me not, it'll only get confusing

[broken pawn]

wait

i forgot about the implant function

function ImplantEffect(A,B,C){A.runCommand(`Effect @s ${B[(Math.floor((Math.floor())*B.length))]} Infinite ${C} True`)};

const EffectPools = [`Speed`,`Strength`,`Resistance`,`Slowness`,`Weakness`];

[honest spear]

bro even stated to minifying the code, afaik using id as whole is the fastest as you don't create any strings at runtime

[wheat condor]

what am i looking at

[honest spear]

const dId = {"minecraft:overworld":0,"minecraft:nether":1,"minecraft:the_end":2}[entity.dimension.id];
ImplantEffect(entity,EffectPools,dId);

not sure why using id as number tho if you already have string

[broken pawn]

the number is for how much effect amplifier

not the dimension

[honest spear]

hmmmm

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[broken pawn]

i guess i'll test it out

[wheat condor]

why are you using a command to use the effect

[subtle cove]

how to put infinite with api

[broken pawn]

i can use addEffect, but i wanted the Infinite

[honest spear]

idk if thats fixed now

Maybe we should have report it if not

[broken pawn]

if it doesn't work, i'll write it down here

[honest spear]

good

[subtle cove]

how does -1 behave on it

[broken pawn]

it throws invalid

looks like it doesn't detect entity.dimension.id

can i use array for this?

const NetherFamily = ["Piglin","Wither_Skeleton"]
entity?.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.TypeFamily)?.hasTypeFamily([NetherFamily])

[thorn flicker]

use getTypeFamilies

and use the includes function

[broken pawn]

the "hasTypeFamily" to "getTypeFamilies"?

sounds similiar like "getGameMode"

[thorn flicker]

its just a different method.

[broken pawn]

sure, i'll try it

[thorn flicker]

dont use includes only actually, it doesnt support an array as an argument

use some or every, and within the method, use includes.

[broken pawn]

will forEach works?

[thorn flicker]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55331172/pass-array-to-includes-javascript

focus on the first answer.

[broken pawn]

this is gonna help a lot

[thorn flicker]

and I know its showing them using a string rather than array, but it'll still work.

very Understandable 🗣️ 🔥

i'll try it next day after wake up

Crazy specific tutorial

But fair

[thorn flicker]

theres a shit ton of them

for specific things

[deep arrow]

Don't doubt that

[thorn flicker]

and its good for learning yk

thats the point

lol

[deep arrow]

Find me a tutorial for getting a substring and inserting it in the middle of an existing array

Lmao

No way for something as random as that

[thorn flicker]

well I couldnt find a specific one for that, but there's stack overflow questions for inserting elements in the center of arrays

and just use indexOf for the element to insert

[deep arrow]

https://www.squash.io/javascript-substring-splice-and-slice-the-complete-guide/
close enough lmao

[thorn flicker]

hm

[deep arrow]

The hard part about finding something like that, is the "and" part, you can easily find a tutorial for either separately

[thorn flicker]

I dont deal with substrings alot

what are you creating?

[deep arrow]

Oh nothing, i didnt actually "need" a tutorial for it. It was more of a question of if one such tutorial existed

[thorn flicker]

lmao

[deep arrow]

I know how to do what i asked anyways

[deep arrow]

Also, really?

Pretty useful in alot of cases, well formatting cases ig

[thorn flicker]

yeah, I just dont see a need for it for what ive been doing.

[deep arrow]

Fair enough

https://tenor.com/view/typescript-script-type-heart-beloved-gif-27005865

[thorn flicker]

i use js

lol

[deep arrow]

:(

[thorn flicker]

typescript really does seem nice

[deep arrow]

Its great

[thorn flicker]

I just havent put effort into trying it

I just dont care really, right now anyway

[deep arrow]

Once i switched from js, to ts i can never go back

[deep arrow]

You should frfr

[thorn flicker]

I just dont need it

[deep arrow]

You may not need it but you should want it

[thorn flicker]

everything in js, and what im doing right now, is not that infuriating for me to switch

like, im comfortable

[deep arrow]

Thats fair

I just cant live without the ease of ts anymore

So i must spread the gospel of typescript

[thorn flicker]

well atleast you arent spreading it with a superiority complex

[deep arrow]

Like the type safety is so great, being able to see errors before runtime.

[deep arrow]

Don't get me wrong, I completely believe its better than js in every way. But i respect everyone's choice to do as they please

If others dont like it, they dont like it. Simple as that

[thorn flicker]

other people are not as cool as that

[thorn flicker]

respect

one thing I need to do is move off Bridge, like really

[amber granite]

If typescript is complex , then try c++

[deep arrow]

Also like the auto completes and intellisence is big w too

[thorn flicker]

this software is getting slow

[deep arrow]

💔

Bridge is crazy work

[deep arrow]

No one said complex

[thorn flicker]

im lazy to switch man

[thorn flicker]

yeah difficulty isnt the issue, I would adapt quickly

[thorn flicker]

my first software for developing addons, its hard to let go

[deep arrow]

No its not 🥀

[thorn flicker]

hey man, what about happened to respecting other people's choices

loll

[deep arrow]

Respect has nothing to do with that lmao

[thorn flicker]

nah but I know im only limiting myself by just using this software

[remote oyster]

Very true.

[thorn flicker]

ive known this for awhile now

[thorn flicker]

same logic when it comes to this too though

@honest spear you said something?

message was instantly deleted lol

[honest spear]

I guess i don't like that tutorial i guess, but if you don't care about performance then good enought ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thorn flicker]

then which would be a more performant method?

[honest spear]

For some reason i don't like ppl who uses anything else than substring on strings 👀

[deep arrow]

Guys we cant be friends now

[honest spear]

in this specific case just check for both it might be the best solution, once you get bigger arrays then use sets to checks the availability

[honest spear]

OK, let me ask mods to ban you lol

[deep arrow]

:0

[thorn flicker]

hm

okay

[honest spear]

substring is goated

the right way to do stuff and the fastest

¯_(ツ)_/¯

also Uint8Array.subarray is the same thing

[thorn flicker]

with only 2 elements, yeah.

[honest spear]

yea and if you have more then use sets not arrays

👍

[thorn flicker]

do you have a link to compare the performance

[honest spear]

O(1) vs O(n) multitples by counter part

just sayin

Script api engine is really specific tho

but still works well

anyway my solution would propably be entity.match(selectorWithFamilies)

[thorn flicker]

like a page that just goes into detail about arrays vs sets

[honest spear]

idk, i didn't write such a page

but maybe someone did

so check if google has something

there has to be an example one Sets vs Arrays

Also Sets in newer ES versions has methods like symetricDifference() thats perfect for large operations

[thorn flicker]

I know there is.

[honest spear]

ok

[thorn flicker]

but since you had a problem with that one article above, maybe you had a page that you specifically like when it comes to sets and arrays

idk

[honest spear]

Well i have the problem with the code in the article to be precise, i never used something in this sence that means it could be written better

maybe some really annoying edge case

only thing i miss sometimes is map and filter being one method

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1431742929558306939/1431743046344769546/aa632d.gif

[deep arrow]

never used Uint8Array lmao

or the other similar classes

[deep arrow]

i prefer the seperation

but technically u can filter with map, just make it undefined

arr.map(x => x > 5 ? x : undefined)

[sudden nest]

Hello, quick question, u can't put dynamic property to stackable items, aren't ya?

[amber granite]

Did they add something new , idk like new events ?

[thorn flicker]

yes

[amber granite]

What is it ?

[thorn flicker]

entityHurt beforeEvent, entityHeal after/BeforeEvent

entityItemPickup after/beforeEvent

[amber granite]

Hmmm , looks good

[thorn flicker]

world seed property

[sudden nest]

Ohhh entityItemPickup, haven't seen that one

[thorn flicker]

yeah its in newest preview

[amber granite]

Hmmm , is anything new related to blocks ?

[thorn flicker]

well there's the connection stuff, but if you mean completely new, there's a new event for block custom component

onEntity

triggers when an entity reachs the block if its defined as a home block

[wheat condor]

script api is evolving so fast

[amber granite]

Hmmm

For items ?

[thorn flicker]

no

[amber granite]

Huh

[thorn flicker]

well, there's cooldown related stuff

[wheat condor]

json components

[deep arrow]

we can thank darknavi, and the rest of the mojangsters for that

[amber granite]

Yeah i guess i know them

[thorn flicker]

I would argue slowly but yeah, things take time

[wheat condor]

just things that you could alredy do with scripts

[wheat condor]

2 years ago addons were absolutely garbage

[thorn flicker]

2 years is fast?

[amber granite]

1 month is fast , two i don't guess so

[wheat condor]

considering its a "side quest" not the main game

[thorn flicker]

maybe in terms of addons

lol

[amber granite]

U know in 2 years how Minecraft java modding com get evolved

[wheat condor]

mods are community based that's a totaly different thing

[amber granite]

;-; yep , but facts are facts

I mean u got little pieces of the big cake i mean

[wheat condor]

they still have to do a LOT of stuff about ui-scripting connection

[thorn flicker]

another 2 years for that

[wheat condor]

i'd say more seeing ore ui isnt even customisable yet

[honest spear]

that would still create same array of n elements

[amber granite]

I guess they gonna change it with the new one ui

I heard they are doing something to the furnace ui

[wheat condor]

yeah .filter is better

[wheat condor]

all the ui

getting a new style

[honest spear]

no both methods does different thing you always have to use both if you want to map it and filter some and thats why is annoying

[amber granite]

Isn't that going to interfere with the json uis ?

[wheat condor]

you can use reduce 🧠

[amber granite]

Like they will remove them ?

[wheat condor]

yes it will basically use ore ui for everything'

[amber granite]

So using html right?

[thorn flicker]

its based on react right

[amber granite]

I heard it s based on html or something

[amber granite]

Yep

You are right

Interactable inventory and potion support in the custom Chest Form 🥳 😭

[cyan basin]

Hey, sorry.. I completely forgot about this last night. I've pushed the typescript repo under a new branch:

https://github.com/Sprixvy/Chest-Form/tree/typescript

This is modified so go careful, I've changed the way the buttons work so you might need to adjust some code.

Buttons now look like this: ts form.button(12, 'Grass Block', 'minecraft:grass_block', { amount: 1 }); form.button(14, 'Diamond Sword', 'minecraft:diamond_sword', { description: ['§7Sharpness V', '', 'Test (1)', 'Test (2)'], durability: 50, enchanted: true, });
They have an options object for the other parameters. You'll see that in the index.ts file

[prime zenith]

Hey so i was told theres a way to make npc's move with script how is this done

[warm mason]

The most you can do through a script is to teleport an entity or give it an impulse/knockback in a certain direction

[prime zenith]

I wish someone would teach me how to make a custum entity the learn dics did not help me

[warm mason]

there is a wiki

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-intro-bp

[prime zenith]

Thats what i mean by the learn docs

They did not help me to understand

[warm mason]

maybe this?
https://youtu.be/gKtvlLr7SR8?si=bUrFQ8qrvRcSxVTf

[prime zenith]

No what i need is some how a walk threw that actually builds 1 that doesnt jump right to a get your x from y and assuming i understood x

And i understand the mob.json

I do not understand custum geometry annimatuon how i get a creation from blockbench to minecraft ect

[wary edge]

That's not a scripting thing. I also don't know where you heard that.

[inland merlin]

What if shes thinking about gametest for fake player?

Seems different tho from what was explained

[prime zenith]

No i think someone told me something wrong its fine npcs have strong legs

[prime zenith]

I both love and hate the forms they look awefyl but im no good with json ui the inventory systems i make are effective but ugly and complex

[snow jungle]

how do people update https://github.com/Herobrine643928/Chest-UI/blob/main/BP/scripts/extensions/typeIds.js

[last latch]

https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/main/metadata/vanilladata_modules/mojang-items.json

[snow jungle]

Yes, I got that. But it still does not generate all of them/all my vanilla icons/id's still render blank

[last latch]

then idk dude just forwarded an answer to an identical question

[snow jungle]

ok thanks

[prime zenith]

Has anyone seen an addon that has over 1000 custum items noones given me a limit so id like to see if i can figure out safe zones

[broken pawn]

What is this?

[turbid delta]

itemPickup is added.....

But no documentation of it exists...

[sudden nest]

Is there a way to put dynamic property to a block?

[wicked girder]

Whats this error mean?

[wicked girder]

Figured it out was providing a null array to a dropdown lol

[empty yoke]

Does startItemCooldown() reset if you exit the world?

[shy leaf]

item cooldowns dont reset

it wouldnt make sense if it did

[empty yoke]

I used it and when I exited and re-entered the world the cooldown was 0

[last latch]

How long was the cooldown?

If its like 3 seconds, before your client stops loading it will probably end.

try with like 10 minutes or so

[empty yoke]

between 30 and 120 seconds, I just tried to activate the ability and set the cooldown to 30 seconds, I exit after about 3 seconds and when I rejoined in the world I find the cooldown at 0

[last latch]

Can you try with a longer time?

[empty yoke]

It doesn't work it resets, I don't think 200 seconds ends when exiting and loading the world even though it takes 10 seconds to enter the world

Did they break the cooldown or has it always been this way?

[last latch]

if its really true, cant really help.
but it is really weird if that cooldown resets. Never has been like this

[empty yoke]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm setting the cooldown on the player, and in the item's cooldown I put duration: 0, correct?

[last latch]

idk, im a json ui typa guy

[empty yoke]

Can anyone tell me if this is a problem with the new update or if I'm doing something wrong?

[shy leaf]

thats quite odd ngl

it could be that they actually dont keep track of the cooldown since theyre usually short

so this kind of situation wouldnt matter

what you could try is to store the cooldown as dynamic property in player and load it when the player rejoins

[empty yoke]

Is there any property that returns game time?

[modest bone]

const time = world.getTimeOfDay(); for script

[empty yoke]

Thanks, but I was looking for the time on the specific player, I think there is nothing for that

[modest bone]

Maybe standard Date.now() from js (I guess it would be server time?) - it should be possible to use something like that for maunal CD handling I guess

[empty yoke]

Yes, in fact I opted to use that, saving the current time when the player uses the ability and then comparing it with the recent time, even though I would have preferred to recover the player's life time in the world, saving the moment in which he used the ability so that in case the player exited it would stop, and it would resume the time only when the player re-entered and compared it with the old time, but I assume that you have to create an internal timer for each player to use such a system?

[empty yoke]

or should I save the moment you exited and restart from that data?

[modest bone]

that would sound better to me but Im not yet familiar with all events and possibilities API provides ... I do js for work but Im kinda new to MC modding 🙂

Thinking about it if I did it from standard server gamedev perspective I would have probably some loop on server through all active players and handle their CDs there ... but when I tried it in my game in Unity way back it was still not great - timings over network are horrible to deal with 😄 ...

[empty yoke]

So you think the best way to avoid performance issues is to save the time and compare it to the current time avoiding loops, but having the problem that when you are offline the cooldown runs the same, so it ends, even if it would make sense if it was a world always online like a realm

[modest bone]

Question is - does it even make sense to pause CD if player logs off? Depends what you want to achieve but for ability CDs is it worth the extra hassle? 🙂
depends also if you have 6s CDs or 12h CDs I guess

[empty yoke]

You've convinced me, I don't think it's worth pausing the CD so I'll go ahead with the Date.now() system, thanks for the reflection. 👍🏻

[modest bone]

No problem, discussion tends to help 🙂
Out of curiosty - do you show the progress in UI somehow? (maybe its not even possible in MC, I have still lot to explore)

[empty yoke]

I'm not the right person to answer this, but I think almost anything is possible in Bedrock. Thanks again.

[supple perch]

heya guys

    if (e.projectile.typeId === "ww2:spot_projectile") {
        const player = e.source;
        const coord = getCoords(e.location);

        const validNations = ["american", "german"];
        const playerFaction = player.getTags().find(tag => validNations.includes(tag));
        if (!playerFaction) return;

        if (!globalAnnounce) {

                    ClassBroadcast(player, "Spots", coord, e.location);
                }
            }
        } else {
            ClassBroadcast(player, "Spots", coord, e.location);
        }
    }
});

my brain power aint up for this 😭 is there any way to send messages to people with the same tag?

[lethal bramble]

cant you just use entityfindoptions or whatever the interface is called to query all players with a specifc tag

nvm

[supple perch]

heya

anyone know if it's possible to use animation controllers to detect when the player lands after they jump?

i can do it with script but i already got around 3 intervals, and I don't want a fourth

and a 20 ticks interval isn't doing me any well either tbh

[supple perch]

I'm fairly new with animation controllers so if anyone can give me some pointers too that'd be great

[supple perch]

nvm solved

[round bone]

As far as it's not using Array.prototype.filter, he's safe.

[granite cape]

im soo bored

[lethal bramble]

hi

[last latch]

There is no need for 3 intervals. You can combine all intervals into one.

[supple perch]

nah

one is ran every 20 ticks

one is ran every 40 ticks

and one is ran every 60 ticks

they all serve different purposes

and they're across packs.

but they complement eachother

[last latch]

i see

nothing i can say xD

[supple perch]

also I'm using a PlayerPulseScheduler for even better performance

[last latch]

what is it

[supple perch]

from @bedrock-oss/bedrock-boost
it basically splits the work into ticks.
if you schedule for 20 ticks and have 1 player, every 20 ticks it'll do something

if you have two players and 20 ticks, every 10 ticks one will be handled

and so on

Basically splits the work across ticks

[supple perch]

I'm not sure if the logic done in it is exactly the same as i explained, but it's what it does one way or another

[supple perch]

port a mod into bedrock for fun

or idk play something

or watch dragon ball 😭

[supple perch]

i binge watched the classic series across a month

😅

[supple perch]

if (e.projectile.typeId === 'ww2:spot_projectile') {
  const player = e.source;
  const coord = getCoords(e.location);

  const validNations = ['american', 'german'];
  const playerFaction = player.getTags().find(tag => validNations.includes(tag));
  if (!playerFaction) return;

  if (globalAnnounce) {
    for (const p of world.getPlayers())
      ClassBroadcast(p, 'Spots', coord, e.location);
    return;
  }
  
  for (const p of world.getPlayers()) {
    if (p.hasTag(playerFaction))
      ClassBroadcast(p, 'Spots', coord, e.location);
  }
}```

i cleaned up the code a bit.
i use 2 spaces for indentation and single quotes but you are welcome to change those as much as you like.
I made this code on pure guess of what ClassBroadcast does, feel free to provide the function definition if this doesn't work.
and maybe some context.

you should avoid branching too deep since qjs is interpreted not just in time compiled, so it hurts performance unlike in something like V8

(the scriptapi environment is qjs currently)

[last latch]

Damn cool I guess

[lucid dust]

how do i add an effect without particles using addEffect() ?

[open urchin]

entity.addEffect("regeneration", 30, {
    showParticles: false
});

[lucid dust]

tysm

[frozen vine]

How do I fix the "unknown" parameter errors in the @gaunt salmon bot with custom components?

[prime zenith]

With script how do you summon an entity with a specific display name and how do you get that display name

[thorn flicker]

the spawnEntity method returns the entity being spawned

[prime zenith]

Im asking to summon it tho

[thorn flicker]

I know?

spawnEntity summons an entity.

[prime zenith]

But can i detect if script was its sourse

Spawn entity gets the dntity after its spawned tho

Ohhh

[thorn flicker]

i didnt say anything about the entity spawn event

[prime zenith]

I have dyslexia so i read that as entitySpawn

[thorn flicker]

okay

[prime zenith]

For that i need to pull dimension? Or just world

[thorn flicker]

so you could just put the spawnEntity method in a variable, and then just edit the property

[thorn flicker]

its on the dimension class.

[thorn flicker]

const entity = dimension.spawnEntity('minecraft:creeper', location)
entity.nameTag = 'test'

[prime zenith]

Location is an object x:,y,z:, right

[thorn flicker]

yes

[prime zenith]

Does it run just set as a var or do i need to call it

[thorn flicker]

it'll run

its already being called

[prime zenith]

And i can also set dynamic properties right then snd that sweet

[thorn flicker]

yup

and just get the same nametag property and use it in an if statement.

[prime zenith]

So if not set it will return undefined or null

[thorn flicker]

hm? you mean if it has no nametag?

yes, it'll return undefined

[prime zenith]

    spawnMob.nameTag = "test"``` says not a function and before you say caps i tested it for some reason the export for Dimension is capital i tried

[thorn flicker]

you exported Dimension and tried calling it from that?

thats wrong.

[prime zenith]

yes

[thorn flicker]

that wont work.

you need to retrieve the class from something.

either from a block, entity or the world class.

[prime zenith]

what class i thought dimension was the class

[thorn flicker]

it is.

[prime zenith]

ohhh dso world.dimension

[thorn flicker]

it depends.

what is this code in?

do you have access to an entity or block?

[prime zenith]

Its in a use event for testing

[thorn flicker]

do source.dimension

gets the current dimension of the source.

[prime zenith]

Ohhh i get it now

[thorn flicker]

and to get the dimension class from world, you need to do world.getDimension(dimension id)

[prime zenith]

So whatever the activater of the event is

Does that mean if i ran this in an uncontrolled entityspawn event id spawn entities til i crashed

[supple perch]

probably

[thorn flicker]

lol

yeah

[supple perch]

you should set up a dynamic property or a temporary variable if don't want that

[prime zenith]

Already crashed once today accidently had my get player comp call a func that called get player comp lol

[thorn flicker]

maybe a tag

[thorn flicker]

just something

[supple perch]

less efficient

plus tags have a limit. could be reached faster than dps

[prime zenith]

Oh i dont plan to do that i was curious

[thorn flicker]

okay

i know

[supple perch]

a boolean property in script or dynamic property are the best method

[supple perch]

alr

[prime zenith]

I need to do it in a system.run dont i

[supple perch]

well depends on the context

[thorn flicker]

depends.

[supple perch]

if you are in a read-only context like a before event, you do

[prime zenith]

Yup i am

[supple perch]

if you intend to run it from something like an after event or in an interval, then no

[thorn flicker]

then yeah

[supple perch]

then you need system.run

[prime zenith]

That makes alot more sence with how you worded it

[supple perch]

no worries

I'd recommend reading the script v2 change and also the permissions update

they'd help understand this with visuals

[thorn flicker]

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

[prime zenith]

If i applied a damage of 0 that calls entity hurt correct

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[prime zenith]

I enjoy reqritting the entire combat system i just wish adhd and dyslexia didnt get in my way

Wait if i spawn entity then set nametag if i have entity spawn event looking for mobs without a nametag will it detect the mob before it gets its name tag

[sudden nest]

Y can't lore have %? Is this intended?

[warm mason]

Just put two % in a row

like %%

[sudden nest]

Ohh, wait..

Aw nice, thanks @warm mason

[open urchin]

Yes, it's because % indicates the start of a localisation key

[prime zenith]

Wait if i spawn entity then set nametag if i have entity spawn event looking for mobs without a nametag will it detect the mob before it gets its name tag

[thorn flicker]

no, because it essentially edits these properties before it spawns I believe.

you should be good

[sudden nest]

How do u get the translated or localization key of enchantment?

[sudden nest]

Just learned this today as well as adding newline in lang files actually work now.

[thorn flicker]

i dont think you can

[prime zenith]

Ok cool

1 more question

Is there a way to set players max health based on a dp in a way that wont cause current health to be effected unless it was higher then new max

[warm mason]

You can't set max health

there will be a workaround with EntityHurtBeforeEvent

but it still won't work perfect

you could use player.json or health_boost effect

[prime zenith]

Theres a workaround now just gut and change health to a new system
But sadly health boost effect caps at 255 and effects current health

[prime zenith]

I am eager for an entityhurt before event tho cause then i can take out vanilla combat entirely and replace it with my own

No more hit spllater on a missed attack

Whens it ezpected

[sudden nest]

is it posisble to just summon a mob/entity that is considered as a projectile but just a normal mob, just to create an owner for the mob instantly without the heart particles with tame component?

[prime zenith]

Question

So i want to get a mob to display its name then under it didplay a dynamic property i have set

How would i do this

[thorn flicker]

so you want to get the dynamic property value, and display it under the entity's current name?

[prime zenith]

Yes

[thorn flicker]

entity.nameTag = `${entity.nameTag}\n${entity.getDynamicProperty('name')}`

[prime zenith]

But its dp is set by its name

[thorn flicker]

what

[prime zenith]

Meaning i have a script setting every entities dp based on what its nameTag is

Actuslly that should be fine still

Cause its set to skip if it slready has dp

[thorn flicker]

is this a custom entity

[prime zenith]

So i just change name after its set

No

[thorn flicker]

nvm then

i was gonna suggest just intercepting the event triggered by nameable component

[prime zenith]

But the dp changes so ill just update it on change

Whats the syntax to kill the player or entity

[thorn flicker]

entity.kill()

[prime zenith]

Ty

[wicked girder]

Can we not use debug utilities on bds?

[wary edge]

Needs to be configured to do so.

[wicked girder]

How so?

[prime zenith]

Monsters spawned by a script will trigger entity spawn event right

[thorn flicker]

yes

[wary edge]

Either in server.properties or Mojang needs to update it.

[prime zenith]

Im an idiot

Im sitting here debugging code

I forgot to attach the event listener to main

[wicked girder]

I dont see anything in there, unless its a hidden property

[prime zenith]

Why are my entities spawning with a dynamic prpperty entityStats before i even set it and its causing my code to fail even tho i have a safety net in place thats supposed to fix it if it if its not valid

Wait nvm on that still got an issue tho

[prime zenith]

Ok so i have a rare but problematic bug

Occasionally an entity spawn but either derenders or disapears after event tagged it but before events ran and it causes a hard error

Ima put a if no entity return tag there in hopes i dont see it aby more

[wicked girder]

figured it out, didnt know about the config folder lol

[prime zenith]

Can anyone send me the hud code that lets you hide hp food armor snd waterbreating bar

Ohhh i forgot they added commands for it now

[prisma shard]

player.onScreenDisplay.setHudVisibility(HudVisibility.Hide);```

[prime zenith]

Dont need it i forgot about the command but ty

I get better and better and better at script every day i have gotten nowhere in understanding json ui

[unique stag]

are debug utilities broken? cuz for some reason i am not able to use the intellisense as well, I have done

npm i @minecraft/debug-utilities@latest but all i get is

I am in Stable 1.21.130

[unique stag]

Bruh, it works, but intellisense is bugged??

[wary edge]

Are you using Deno?

[unique stag]

Nope, i am not
