Script API General

[sour sedge]

Not a script question and i haven't worked with player.json myself but there's a question about this where the answer was to use the (for 3 months ago) latest min engine version in the manifest. https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1419531592560283668

[amber granite]

Yao

It s simple as that ☠️ damn

Damn damn damn

[midnight ridge]

its okey to feel dumb

[stray spoke]

I'm bored

[sour sedge]

I think every person on this server has felt dumb at some point. Coding can be pretty humbling

And a lot of the "rules" with Mojang api don't make obvious sense

[stray spoke]

I only love coding because I always talk inside my head so solving code problems and making logics is kinda satisfying for me

Tbh I don't have someone to talk to everyday, I'm alone, I'm always talking to myself, bored, so I code

So I don't know if it's right that I chose BSIT as my career course, is it my passion to code, or is it just me being bored and lonely

That I just stuck myself in the phone everyday doing coding

And my only happiness is when I created something amazing for the first time even if its small

Because nothing in my life has something special to be happy about except this coding

Dam what am I saying

[amber granite]

Bro , u didn't see c++ developers code

Whenever i see it i feel so f dumb

Like they fix 10issues/second

And write big texts in small amount of time

I need like 10 days ro do this simple thing

[amber granite]

Logic is the framework of the universe for that it s satisfying

[sour sedge]

Eh I've even taught C++. A long time ago. A lot of the blowhards knew the least.

Learning means constantly having to face "I don't know" and "that doesn't seem to make any sense". So does debugging.

And it's always hard esp at the start.

My course got everyone to learn a really unfamiliar difficult language as the first subject bc so many people came to it with C and thought they knew everything. This way, they would be humbled and learn. I did.

So I always want to encourage people who are starting out. And even people who know C++ might not know why their custom skin isn't loading (I didn't til I searched).

[amber granite]

Bro c is nothing compared to c++

[sour sedge]

Not bro, but yeah, I know. Object oriented was a whole new game.

[amber granite]

Yeah

• i found something interesting in c++

Whenever u ask experienced person about thing, it tell u that the behaviour in underfined or something

Like
i++ + i ;

Or something it tells u it have undefined behaviour due to the c++ different compilers

Like there is gcc and clang

And another one

It s uncertain unlike other programming language

And u need to think twice before coding anything

[sour sedge]

Yeah it's to do with optimisation, you have to code very carefully and precisely because the compiler will not make checks. If you don't tell it exactly what it wants, you'll get undefined behaviour, and then the compiler is free to interpret that however it wants - because you weren't precise enough.

It really is a high-level portable assembly language, the object oriented and so forth provides a bit of abstraction but it's really pretty close to the metal. (Does make it more efficient than the java language though.)

i++ + i isn't valid code because the C++ standard says this is between two sequence points (I believe it's a bit more complicated now) - so there's no particular order set out to compile between these points (in this statement). Which comes first? The incrementing of i++ or the adding of i to itself?

The precision is because C++ must map onto all hardware with a guarantee that it will run the same every time with defined behaviour, with exactly what you've told it to do. If you give it things that don't make sense, and it had to guarantee it would have the same defined behaviour regardless of compiler, it would have to emulate on some hardware, insert runtime checks, interfere with some of the bare-metal optimisations. So it doesn't hold your hand. Different languages have different purposes. I still appreciate python even though it's crap for big projects, because it makes everything so easy. But there's a reason Cython is so common in libraries, because Python is not that fast.

...sorry, that's kinda off topic, i do be yapping.

Eh, anyway, good luck with the server! Gotta go.

[amber granite]

Thx

[fast wind]

Is there a way to save a value into a stackable item like a dynamic property?

[weary umbra]

can we use async in customCommands?

[wicked girder]

Whats the best way to detect in the player interact with block event if they are placing a block or just interacting?

[weary umbra]

        async (event, action) => {
``` I'm trying to use it but I get a error

[warm mason]

This function must return CustomCommandResult | undefined, and when you make a function asynchronous it returns Promise anyway

so, u can't

[weary umbra]

I used system.run(async () => {})

[warm mason]

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock, but it's in beta

[wicked girder]

yes but thats the issue, they both run when placing a block

I want to check if they are placing a block in the interact event so I have a system the only runs on interaction and not placing a block

[warm mason]

hmm

[wicked girder]

Best I can think of is just making a list of interactable blocks and checking if it's in that list

But I'd rather not

There is a lot

Thought maybe check if the item is placeable on the block but that would also be a lot

[warm mason]

playerPlaceBlock fires before playerInteractWithBlock, so you could use that to check

/** @type {WeakMap<import('@minecraft/server').Player, Number>} */
const PlayerPlacedLastBlockTick = new WeakMap();

world.afterEvents.playerPlaceBlock.subscribe(data => {
    PlayerPlacedLastBlockTick.set(data.player, system.currentTick);
});

world.afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(data => {
    if (PlayerPlacedLastBlockTick.get(data.player) == system.currentTick) console.warn('Placing');
    else console.warn('Interacting');
});

@wicked girder

[wicked girder]

Hm

Alright I'll try that here in a bit thanks

[wicked girder]

it does not so this system doesnt work

[warm mason]

I literally tested it

[weary umbra]

What tf is this event? packSettingChange

How does it work and what does it do

[warm mason]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/addons/custompacksettings?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental

[weary umbra]

still dont get it how is that usefull

[wicked girder]

oh you use after events

that wont do

[wary edge]

Its not useful to you then but useful for those who need pack settings.

[weary umbra]

ohhh now I get it

nvm its helpful lol

[weary umbra]

is there away to grow sapling with script?

[wheat condor]

What's the component to add armor to mobs?

[thorn flicker]

you cant

you need to use the replaceItem command

because you can only get the equippable component on players

[thorn flicker]

no

[wary edge]

Define grow

[weary umbra]

like crops you can set there permutation

[wheat condor]

just place the feature to create the tree in the place of the sapling

[weary umbra]

Ohh yeah I forgot that /place exist thank you

[wheat condor]

no problem

also i think you have to grab it from bds server since there isnt no feature mentioned in minecraft place syntax]

[thorn flicker]

or the resource you created.

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1324376503848275980

[wheat condor]

i forgot i made it

that was 1 year ago'

[thorn flicker]

lol

[weary umbra]

is there away to foce the feature to be placed?

[wary edge]

Use placeFeature

[weary umbra]

I did

but it doesnt let me placing the tree even though there is something onto of the location

[wary edge]

What is the error?

do placeFeature(feature, locaiton, true) and wrap it in trycatch to get the error

[weary umbra]

[Scripting][error]-Error: minecraft:oak_tree_feature could not be placed. The following features had failures:
minecraft:tree_feature: Trunk could not be placed
at <anonymous> (growFeature.js:44)

[wary edge]

There's the issue, seems like will need to modify the feature to allow it to be placed there

[weary umbra]

how?

[wary edge]

Just, modify that feature's JSON file.

[weary umbra]

is the best thing to create a new feature? or edit the already exsting one

[wary edge]

Up to you.

[weary umbra]

If I change the default one does it apply to every tree type?

I get an error

[Entity][error]-Missing identifier in spawn rule file

[Entity][error]- Failed to load spawn rules

[wary edge]

That has nothing to do with the Features.

[wheat condor]

you have to remove the sapling block before you place it

[weary umbra]

Ik but thats not the only issue if there is a tree nearby it wont work

[weary umbra]

could you please send me the docs for it?

[wheat condor]

That’s a common thing for saplings

Trees can’t grow if they are near another one

[weary umbra]

but I want to remove that I'm making faster grow when you spam sneaking

[wary edge]

If you're making something like skyblock, afaik they also dont grow if there is something blocking it.

[weary umbra]

So you cant modify it

[wary edge]

I never said that, I said that even in skyblock this is WAI. If you want it to override you would need to learn features.

[weary umbra]

how so? Is there any docs about features?

[wheat condor]

yes but its easier to learn watching how minecraft does them and how other people do that

[weary umbra]

can you provide any files?

[empty yoke]

Does anyone know why rotation during teleport() doesn't work?

[stray spoke]

Is it only me that finds (arg, arg)=>{..} satisfying

[lethal bramble]

should work, probably the input thats incorrect

[mystic harness]

is it possible now to see whats inside a player's echest

[thorn flicker]

no

[hidden perch]

is it possible to make ridden enttiy moves using applyImpulse?

[terse pulsar]

entity.applyDamage(trueDamage, { cause: "entityAttack"})

Im using It correctly?

trueDamage is a var

[last latch]

Wdym it’s Not json UI and it doesn’t lag when you stop the loop

[wheat condor]

I found out i was doing set input permissions to true every tick and that was causing desync in movement between client and server

[cursive fog]

Does anyone know what is the class of vector3?

[stray spoke]

isn't it like {x: ?, y: ?, z: ?}

[cursive fog]

like the class for import or smth

[stray spoke]

It doesn't need imports

It's basically like an interface (template object)

Means you need to type it as {x: int, y: int, z: int}.
While vector2 is just {x: int, y: int}.
int is number type value

[amber granite]

Hi guys , so i applied the "min_engine" solution in the player.entity.json , but now the skins get showen but player dosen't get animated

How to fix it plz ☠️

[cursive fog]

ohh

[cursive fog]

hi guys how do you keep a function running repeatedly?

[snow knoll]

runInterval

[cursive fog]

Just askin how do you add it on a function?

[snow knoll]

Define the function
Then call the function in the runInterval

[sage portal]

isn't this what tick.json is for?

oh wait I'm in the scripting channel lol, thought this was just add-ons

[empty yoke]

It should be correct, maybe rotation is not applied during the dimension transfer?

[stray spoke]

Use system.runInterval(void, number/ticks)

For example:

system.runInterval(()=>{
  world.sendMessage("Hello")
}, 20 //20 ticks is 1 second)

//This will send hello every 1 second/20 ticks

[knotty salmon]

I've used teleport across dimensions storing rotation value just needs Vector2 with x and y cords so it definitely works

[empty yoke]

yes I set the rotation but it seems that the player does not rotate, he remains with the same rotation he had in the overworld

[knotty salmon]

How are you passing the values? Within a function call or storing to DPS? Perhaps seeing the code will help too if you post here or create a thread others and chime in too

[empty yoke]

Now I'm trying again in game to see if it actually doesn't work

[empty yoke]

It doesn't work, I'm trying but the rotation doesn't seem to have any effect.

[cursive fog]

Oh so like this?

system.runInterval (() => {example my function here}, 20)

[empty yoke]

I fixed, thanks

[stray spoke]

Yes, you can customize the 20 also

[warm mason]

Horrifying tests

[warm mason]

I saw a ping

Hmm

[amber granite]

Guys is it possible to override border block behaviour?

[viral wigeon]

he scammed you if he charged more than $15 for that

[wicked girder]

is it possible to check if a player has chat open or not?

[inland merlin]

userBusy maybe?

Loop

[cursive fog]

I see thanks

[cursive fog]

how do i stop system.runInterval?

[stray spoke]

put the interval on a variable first then use system.clearRun(variable name)

For example:

const rep = system.runInterval(()=>{
  world.sendMessage("Hello")
},20)

system.clearRun(rep)

[cursive fog]

ohh

alr thanks

[stray spoke]

For example with condition:

let i = 0
const rep = system.runInterval(()=>{
  i++
  world.sendMessage("Hello")
  if(i > 5) system.clearRun(rep)
},20)

[cursive fog]

hi just one last if multiple player are using system.runInterval and one says trigger system.clearRun will runInterval stop for all?

[stray spoke]

Depends on the logic of your code, what is it that you type

[cursive fog]

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {
    const { source: player, itemStack } = ev
    if (itemStack.typeId !== gun) return
    const shoot = system.runInterval(() => {
        shootProjectile('arrow', player.dimension, player.getHeadLocation(), player.getViewDirection(), {
            power: 10,
            uncertainty: 0 + recoil,
            owner: player
        })
    }, 2)
    recoil + 2

    world.afterEvents.itemStopUse.subscribe(ev => {
        const { source: player, itemStack } = ev
        if (itemStack.typeId !== gun) return
        system.clearRun(shoot)
        if (recoil > 2) recoil = 0

    })
})

kinda like this

if it gets to system.clearRun will it clear on all player

because its directly linked to system ehh

[stray spoke]

That will not work because you can't call the variable shoot from other function inside the other function because it's private

Scope variable must be public to be able to call it on itemStopUse

If your purpose is to stop the repeating function on itenStopUse, you gotta adjust to other methods

[cursive fog]

so this script wont stop other players?

[stray spoke]

yeah, it will error that variable shoot is undefined

I have suggestions tho

[cursive fog]

ye?

[warm mason]

no?

[cursive fog]

@stray spoke ye btw dw its alr infact thats what i intend

[stray spoke]

My suggested formula is

On item use -> Activate run interval "shoot" -> if player has tag "stop" -> clearRun "shoot" and clear tag "stop"

On item stop use -> player add tag "stop"

[warm mason]

the variable in the correct scope

buut

[stray spoke]

Ohh, i thought itemStopUse is outside the itemUse

My apologies

[warm mason]

Using an event within an event is very bad unless you use unsubscribe later.

[stray spoke]

Yeah I don't really do that also, unless if I put it in export function and use it on main

[cursive fog]

hmmm i see

btw guys just asking how do you export (if thats what its called) a function from other js

[warm mason]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/export

[stray spoke]

Do yall think I can use custom command registry event ingame, or it's just for startup

For example I'll activate adding custom commands if I itemUse

[warm mason]

I'm sure this won't work

[stray spoke]

Alright thanks

[cursive fog]

@warm mason pardon me but how do you define an item on setDynamicProperty

[warm mason]

dynamic properties can't save ItemStack

They only support string, number, boolean and Vector3

[cursive fog]

huh they changed it now?

[warm mason]

They never could

[cursive fog]

so what abt this then?

[warm mason]

Aand?

It doesn't say that it can save ItemStack

Or

Wait

Do you mean how to set a dp on an item?

[cursive fog]

yes

[warm mason]

Oh

Well ItemStack.setDynamicProperty

As usually

[cursive fog]

oh

[warm mason]

And if u make any changes in ItemStack u need to set it back to the inventory

[cursive fog]

so where do i define the item i wanna put dynamic property

[warm mason]

Wdym "define item"?

[cursive fog]

it kept asking me to define the item\

[warm mason]

Show code

[cursive fog]

import { world, system, Dimension, ItemStack } from "@minecraft/server"
import { shootProjectile } from 'bullet.js'

const gun = "vdg:akm"
let recoil = 1
const item = "vdg:akm"

ItemStack.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', 30)


world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {
    const { source: player, itemStack } = ev
    if (itemStack.typeId !== gun) return
    if ('vd:akammo' != 0) return
    const shoot = system.runInterval(() => {
        shootProjectile('arrow', player.dimension, player.getHeadLocation(), player.getViewDirection(), {
            power: 10,
            uncertainty: 0 + recoil,
            owner: player
        })
    }, 2)
    recoil + 2
    'vd:akammo' - 1
    world.afterEvents.itemStopUse.subscribe(ev => {
        const { source: player, itemStack } = ev
        if (itemStack.typeId !== gun) return
        system.clearRun(shoot)
        if (recoil > 2) recoil = 0

    })
})

idk i tried making an item const

[warm mason]

setDynamicProperty is not a static method

You need an instance to use it

Like

const item = new ItemStack("stick");
item.setDynamicProperty("id", 123);

[cursive fog]

oh

[cursive fog]

so i define it through itemStack thing

[cursive fog]

uhh idk whats wrong

const gun = "vdg:akm"
let recoil = 1
const item = new ItemStack("vdg:akm");
item.setDynamicProperty("vd:akammo", 30);

[warm mason]

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

[cursive fog]

i see

[stray spoke]

I really thought it was only string

[mystic harness]

can i add glint to an item without actually enchanting it in the first place

[warm mason]

Create a copy of this item with "minecraft:glint": true or via attachables, but this cannot be done via script

[mystic harness]

oh okay thanks

[lilac glacier]

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

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe((event) => {
    const { id, sourceEntity } = event;
    if (id !== "jockey:riding" || !sourceEntity || !sourceEntity.isValid) {
        return;
    }

    try {
        const viewDirection = sourceEntity.getViewDirection();

        const horizontalStrength = 1.5; 
        const verticalStrength = 0.5;   

        const impulseVector = {
            x: viewDirection.x * horizontalStrength,
            y: verticalStrength,
            z: viewDirection.z * horizontalStrength
        };

        sourceEntity.applyImpulse(impulseVector);

    } catch (error) {
        console.warn(`Error in jockey:riding: ${error}`);
    }
});```

im trying to do a script where it only makes the entity  move on the ground by the applied impulse but instead,  when you trigger the event using /scriptevent it launches the entity in mid air for a bit. 

any solutions?

[wheat condor]

my map addon probably also looks like this

[wheat condor]

did you just copy pasted a script?

[stray spoke]

Could just type it as abbreviation

verStr and horStr or sum

[lilac glacier]

i wasn't sure if typing them as abbreviations would work so there's that

[wheat condor]

no that's not the point

There is a VerticalStrength and you are asking why the entity is getting moved up

[lilac glacier]

oh so that's why. maybe i forgot to exclude it earlier

💀

[stray spoke]

what I've said is just to make coding less typing and concise atleast

It doesn't relate to the api

[silver agate]

How can i use a const/let from other file? I want to make a let checker that checks if its raining, and I need onWeatherChange event to update the let to the actual weather, but how can I use this let on another file?

[stray spoke]

You gotta use export and importit to the file uouwant to use it

for example

//test.js
export const word = "Hello" 

Then in hour main.js

import {word} from 'path/to/test.js' //replace this

console.log(word)

[silver agate]

So I just make this:
file1:

import .. //mc imports

export let weather = “clear”;

world.afterEvents.onWeatherChange.subscribe((e) => {
weather = e.weather
});

File2:

import .. // mc imports
import { weather } from “scripts/file1.js”;

console.log(weather);

?

[silver agate]

It works with other files that aren’t the main? Cuz I need it for a lot of systems. Also, do I have to register it at main file too?

[last latch]

Yes and yes

[silver agate]

Ok

Ty

[fast wind]

How can I get the name that the player sees when selecting the item?

[amber granite]

No i told him to customise some add-ons and do something

[silver agate]

Another doubt: can I put more than one world after/before Event into 1 file?

[warm mason]

That's very bad, since my stats are artificial

[snow knoll]

Assuming a limit were to even exist, There's no amount of events that wouldn't be allowed in one file

You'd probably reach a word limit before that

[wheat condor]

nah im kidding it never does a script warning even if it is a huge process

[prisma shard]

Right, But it is good to keep all code into one event, Since all the events just tries to run at same time

[snow knoll]

He means events in general in the same file too

[prisma shard]

ok

[snow knoll]

Which includes situations like 2 entirely different types of events on the same file

[last latch]

Objectively wrong statement

[viral wigeon]

Not wrong at all

Maybe you think that cuz u would do the same

Take advatange of someone who doesn't know how easy it is to fix those errors and charge hella money

You right in one thing and is that is more ethical than a scamm

But scamm also can be taken as taking advantage of someone bc they dont know the real value of something

It's like someone has a diamond worth millions and you convince him that it's a fake diamond to buy it cheaper

It's a scamm

[last latch]

Arguing with you is pointless xd

[viral wigeon]

I'd say the same about you tbh

[last latch]

You said it is a scam and at the same time it is not a scam

[viral wigeon]

I didnt say it was not

I said its more ethical than a scamm

lol

Diferrent things

[last latch]

So what is it if not a scam

[viral wigeon]

It is a scamm

[last latch]

A scam cannot be more ethical than scam

Scam is one thing

[viral wigeon]

It's in the middle of both

[last latch]

That is how freelancing works

Same as everything else

It’s like saying diamonds is a scam

Like 90% was bought by one company

[viral wigeon]

The scamm occurs when u try to hide the truth about it's value

[last latch]

Not a scam just overpriced

[last latch]

Didn’t I just tell about diamonds?

Diamonds are cheap

Their value has been increased by one company

And yet people buy it and are happy

Same about Rolexes cars and basically everything

Same as me charging marketplace 25 euros an hour and not 15 dollars for one project

[round bone]

That's why we should ask @last latch for commissions

[silver agate]

Okay. I asked because I tried a time ago and bridge stop auto-completing on the second event, so I assumed it had.

[amber granite]

Hillo guys so i gotta ask

What is the msot effecient way to make an area forbidden to enter by certain players

Like border block does

[round bone]

Is your area a regular hexahedron?

[amber granite]

Cube

Cubic area

[silver agate]

“Cubic area” /j

A square you mean

[amber granite]

☠️ damn i mean hexahedron volume

[silver agate]

Volume? Wasnt that area?

Y is useless in this case, so i think you must look within area things

[amber granite]

Man don't ragebait me ☠️

Jk

[amber granite]

Maybe , yeah Y isn't useless

[silver agate]

So you want to block players to go up/down too?

[amber granite]

Yep

[silver agate]

Oh

[amber granite]

Totally forbidden

[silver agate]

Okie

[amber granite]

Like if u enter it it will tp u to the last loc

[silver agate]

What if you do this:
i will use tpPlayer for simple. This method doesn’t exist.

const loc = player.location;
if (loc.x > 100) tpPlayer(100, loc.y, loc.z)
if (loc.x < -100) tpPlayer(-100, loc.y, loc.z)
if (loc.y > 100) tpPlayer(loc.x, 100, loc.z)
if (loc.y < -100) tpPlayer(loc.x, -100, loc.z)
if (loc.z > 100) tpPlayer(loc.x, loc.y, 100)
if (loc.z < -100) tpPlayer(loc.x, loc.y, -100)

I used a cube with side value of 200, and centered.

For example

[amber granite]

I mean i want the right way to implement it

I have no problem with the logic

[silver agate]

This should work

Just look for tp methods

If there is none, use runCommand

[amber granite]

Which event i must put it in ?

[silver agate]

System.runInterval

One min, i will create the script for ya

[amber granite]

Thx u

[silver agate]

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

system.runInterval(() => {
for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
const { x, y, z } = player.location;
if (x > 100) player.runCommand(`tp ${player.nameTag} 100 ${y} ${z}`)
if (x < -100) player.runCommand(`tp ${player.nameTag} -100 ${y} ${z}`)

[silver agate]

*I forgot to put the interval

(Already edited)

[dawn zealot]

you can do player.teleport instead of runCommand

[silver agate]

This exists?

[dawn zealot]

yeah

[silver agate]

Oh

[silver agate]

@amber granite

[dawn zealot]

do u have npm types

[silver agate]

Npm?

What is this?

[dawn zealot]

like this

[silver agate]

My friend has a site that does this

I wrote the script directly on discord

[snow knoll]

Ah that makes sense
You might've just been experiencing a random glitch from bridge or had an error
Or something else that I don't know, since I write several events in the same file all the time

[silver agate]

Yes, possibly.

[amber granite]

Thank u

Node Package Manager

[jolly citrus]

how do i update @minecraft/core-build-tasks

mine's still deployinmg my projects to the mc uwp folder

im so confused bro

i literally manually edited the package to remove any trace of uwp paths

and it still somehow

manages

to deploy there

[round bone]

Install a certain version of a package?

[jolly citrus]

wjat

[round bone]

npm i @minecraft/[email protected]

[jolly citrus]

how do i fix the just script bro

core-build-tasks is somehow told im on mc uwp

but im not

so now its trying to deploy there

and im not specifying it anywhere

[round bone]

Isn't it more related to #1339727065846648906 ?

[jolly citrus]

why would it be

idk what editor-mode is

i'm using core-build-tasks to deploy my typescript project

[round bone]

Why do you need a library to deploy your TypeScript project?

[jolly citrus]

idk because that's what the docs told me

to do

to build it

[round bone]

Just compile it down to JS or use tool like Regolith

[round bone]

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

[jolly citrus]

this is better

it directly sends everything to mc

[round bone]

This one also sends everything directly into Minecraft

[jolly citrus]

i fixed it im stupid

env is excluded from ctrl f

or vsc find i mean

[round bone]

You can opt it in .vscode/ directory I think

[jolly citrus]

yeh i can

but the mc product type was defined there

thats why searching for 8weky/uwp didnt find anything useful

xd

[round bone]

😅

You make yourself complicated by retyping the x y z on message instead of calling the variables, and atleast make a loop for it since It's the same message format and hundreds range

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

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

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const p of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    const { x, y, z } = p.location;

    const nx = clamp(x, -100, 100);
    const ny = clamp(y, -100, 100);
    const nz = clamp(z, -100, 100);

    if (x !== nx || y !== ny || z !== nz) {
      p.teleport({x: nx, y: ny, z: nz})
    }
  }
}, 5);

[wary edge]

shudders Using runCommand

[stray spoke]

Og yeah I forgot

[amber granite]

Guys is carish77 is wake up ?

[wary edge]

Baffles me that JS still doesn't have a built in clamp function.

[amber granite]

I need him in important thing about his better boats add-on

[wary edge]

There is this technology called Direct Message which you can use.

[amber granite]

._.

Oh yeah

You are right, my bad

[silver agate]

Yeah. Im not very familiar with area/volume logic as I don’t use it often

[near siren]

Noticed some new important stuff in minecraft-server, whats up with the SetBookContentsFunction class and others like it?

[fickle dagger]

is there any specific requirements to use dynamic properties?

I tried using it and all of my scripts stopped working

[wary edge]

No. Any content log?

[fickle dagger]

yeah, but almost all of them are related to block scripts

let me try checking for ones that stand out

yeah no clue

all of the content log error is only filled with missing blocks error

and all of those blocks have custom components

so I wonder what I'm doing wrong

does it have to be in the main js file perhaps?

when I removed the dynamic property thing it starts to work again

[wary edge]

No.

What's the dynamic property code?

[wary edge]

Oh that's a hint.

Is your custom comp9nents failing to register

[fickle dagger]

yes

export function MONEY_EXCHANGE_DYNAMIC_PROPERTY(){
    const moneyPerItem = moneyPerItem ?? 1000;
    const itemPerMoney = itemPerMoney ?? 1000;
    const setMoneyPerItem = world.setDynamicProperty('felix:money_per_item', moneyPerItem);
    const setItemPerMoney = world.setDynamicProperty('felix:item_per_money', itemPerMoney);
    return moneyPerItem, itemPerMoney;
}
MONEY_EXCHANGE_DYNAMIC_PROPERTY();```

here's the function

[wary edge]

If I recall, it seems you're calling this function at the top level which isn't allowed. Needs to be called in worldLoad

[fickle dagger]

hmm I see

I guess I'll have to look into that

[granite badger]

Is this code simplified cuz that's not valid syntax...

[fickle dagger]

was worldLoad replaced by something else or is it still this

[fickle dagger]

it's only the function, so it doesn't work as expected

[granite badger]

In js you can't have multiple "things" returned from a function like tuple

[fickle dagger]

oh

[wary edge]

Well

[fickle dagger]

I see

[wary edge]

You can do [a, b]

[granite badger]

yeah or an object, but not like return a, b

I saw the code in #debug-playground

[wary edge]

I canr think of any language that allows this

[granite badger]

python

[fickle dagger]

did this and it works

cool

thank you smokey

[fickle dagger]

wait does that mean I can't use it to change the dynamic property value in other functions then?

if so then that sucks

[wary edge]

You can. It just needs to be in a stage where the world is loaded.

[fickle dagger]

and they can change without world reload?

[wary edge]

Yes.

[fickle dagger]

hell yeah

[deep arrow]

python, go and i beleive lua can have tuple return values

[wary edge]

Just to be clear, we are talking about the syntax return a, b, c right?

[deep arrow]

yeah

def f():
    return a, b

x, y = f()

like this in python

[deep arrow]

i dont mean in a rude way but do you know what a tuple is? Just so we're on the same page

[wary edge]

https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/#example/tuples

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/tuple.html

https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/primitives/tuples.html

All of these are Tuples, yet they require it to be defined via their object or using []

[deep arrow]

Indeed, funny thing i learned something i didnt know before with that ts example

didnt know you could do that

[shut citrus]

how to add custom hotbar/ slot in player's inventory?

[amber granite]

Custom hotbar slot ?

U mean intierly new slot bar ?

[terse pulsar]

What does the getComponent read on hunger, the current have of missing hams or the left ones?

[shut citrus]

ye

I want to add a secret hotbar to store specific items

[warm mason]

you can't

[cursive fog]

Does anyone know how to make an entity render much farther away?

[warm mason]

#1067869022273667152

[prisma shard]

yeah there is a way i saw

lemme find it

a guy named ItzRiyo found a secret method to add another hotbar slot, but i don't know if the slot is fully functional

btw #1067869374410657962 would be perfect place for this

[warm mason]

and how do I add the slot itself?

[prisma shard]

huh

i cant find it tho i saw it somewhere

[warm mason]

Even modifying the inventory component in player.json doesn't help, as far as I remember

[prisma shard]

I have no idea either

Ohhh

found it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzz9C0NMqIk

[warm mason]

Well, you could also try equippable component, but I'm not sure

[warm mason]

hmm

[prisma shard]

4 Extra Slots 💀

literally a cheating pack

[thorn flicker]

its a resource pack though

how does this work

lol

[prisma shard]

Yo holy fuck man you do not lose them when died 💀💀

[thorn flicker]

how is that even possible with just a rp

tf

[prisma shard]

He showed proof 'Keep Inventory' was turned off

[prisma shard]

@warm mason

[thorn flicker]

waiting for an hour just to download it

gotta love linervertise

[warm mason]

hmmm

[prisma shard]

also if ur downloading the pack to see how it works, download this latest one, the one video i sent was outdated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZsInYzB4ag&t=136s

real

[thorn flicker]

still an hour wait lol

and no I didnt want to see how it worked, I dont look at others people files, I just wanted to use it for a min

and see if it was just a resource pack

[prisma shard]

it is xd

[thorn flicker]

well, people lie so

just wanted to check lol

[warm mason]

If it's just a resource pack, it's useless for creators

More of a cheat than an additional slot for something

[thorn flicker]

cant it be both

[warm mason]

You can't do anything with this slot. Like, literally nothing

[thorn flicker]

wdym

[warm mason]

Even entity equipment slots have more options

[warm mason]

You can't get it, you can't set it or anything like that

[thorn flicker]

I see how its how a problem for creators specifically yeah

[warm mason]

That's why I say it's more of a cheat because even Minecraft doesn't see it as a slot

[thorn flicker]

no one is gonna argue this is not cheating

[prisma shard]

yea

[thorn flicker]

and if they do...

[warm mason]

Well, that's not what we need anyway

[prisma shard]

well would be lovely if we could access it like a slot API, but.. it's just meant for survival worlds who want to keep their items not lost after dying.

[thorn flicker]

so like a safe pocket in arc raiders

or whatever its called

also merry christmas to whoever celebrates it

[last latch]

Did y’all check if it works or just speculated?

Adding new slots crashes the client, so new slots seems like crap

[thorn flicker]

well im not waiting an hour just to download it.

[last latch]

You can literally leave the site open in the background

[thorn flicker]

well I didnt.

you could always do it yourself

[shut citrus]

Is it possible to create a custom one?

[jolly citrus]

Ce system in da works

Been in da works for like the last year im too lazy for mc

It's Christmas dude.

[amber granite]

Oh , we don't have Christmas in my country ☠️

[jagged gazelle]

Sup people

After 4 months

[wise lichen]

One question: how can I make it so that when I crouch and right-click on an entity, it disappears and an item appears in its place using scripts?

[jagged gazelle]

Item appears like spawn it?

[wise lichen]

So the item appears lying on the ground right where the entity disappeared.

[jagged gazelle]

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

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({ target, player, itemStack, beforeItemStack, isFirstEvent }) => {
  if (target.typeId !== 'minecraft:armor_stand' || !player.isSneaking || !isFirstEvent) return;

  system.run(() => {
    target.dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick'), target.location);
    target.remove();
  });
});```

[wise lichen]

I'm having a problem with this line

    target.dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick'), target.location)

[jagged gazelle]

Oh sorry, i forgot... Flip the order of the spawn and the remove

Spawn first then remove

[small depot]

I think it would be better to use an entity for this case

[wise lichen]

It works fine, the thing is it works even if you just right-click, but I need it to happen when you crouch and right-click because the entity I want is mountable.

[jagged gazelle]

if (target.typeId !== 'minecraft:armor_stand' && !player.isSneaking && !isFirstEvent) return;```

[wise lichen]

It still happens that when you right-click, the entity transforms into a stick figure without needing to crouch.

[jagged gazelle]

remove ! before the sneaking

[wise lichen]

something did

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe(({ target, player, itemStack, beforeItemStack, isFirstEvent }) => {
    if (target.typeId !== 'minecraft:armor_stand' && player.isSneaking && !isFirstEvent) return;

    system.run(() => {
        target.dimension.spawnItem(new ItemStack('minecraft:stick'), target.location)
        target.remove();
    });
});```

[jagged gazelle]

did what?

[wise lichen]

It continues to drop a stick just by right-clicking on the entity without needing to crouch.

[wary edge]

Pretty sure you need to use || not &&

[jagged gazelle]

oops, yeh you actually need to use or

Sorry bout that...

[jagged gazelle]

if (target.typeId !== 'minecraft:armor_stand' || !player.isSneaking || !isFirstEvent) return;```

[wise lichen]

Nothing happens when I crouch down and right-click on the entity, nor does anything happen when I simply right-click.

[midnight ridge]

i already have the flag as an enity even if i want to make this effect or becone effect as an entity how can i do that

[midnight ridge]

it is a waypoint addon

[supple perch]

you should use an entity or a particle for that instead

[wise lichen]

How do I make an entity disappear when I right-click and leave an object on the ground? For example, if I have the Admin tag and right-click on an armor stand, it disappears and leaves a stick. How do I do this?

[wary edge]

The people you asked before quite literally gave you the code.

[wise lichen]

Yes, but now I need it to be with a tag because the previous method didn't work for me.

[wary edge]

I recommend actually learning the api.

[wise lichen]

yes it helped me

[terse pulsar]

Is possible tô cancel the /kill command like the beforeChatSend, event.cancel

Something like that?

[cyan basin]

You can only technically disable the kill command if you use a Bedrock Server. Otherwise no, you won't be able to disable/cancel it

[whole saddle]

Hello, I'm trying to make a dash that propels the player into the direction he's looking, but the applyKnockback function changed and now I don't quite know how to take the y axis into consideration. Can anybody help?

const dir2 = player.getViewDirection();
player.applyKnockback({x: dir2.x*6.5, z: dir2.z*6.5}, 0.5);

[supple perch]

you can use applyImpluse btw

applyImpulse(vector: Vector3): void
Parameters
vector: Vector3
Impulse vector.

Returns void
Remarks
Applies impulse vector to the current velocity of the entity.```
https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player.html#applyimpulse

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player.html#applyknockback

applyKnockback(horzontalForce: VectorXZ, verticalStrength: number): void
Parameters
horizontalForce: VectorXZ
verticalStrength: number
Knockback strength for the vertical vector.```

here if u need the applyKnockback one

[whole saddle]

ohhh yeah thanks

[supple perch]

no worries, you're welcome

[cursive fog]

how do you minus a number on item dynamic property?

[supple perch]

what

[cursive fog]

so i have a item that uses dynamic property how do you minus the value on a dynamic property

[supple perch]

const prop = item.getDynamicProperty('key');
if (typeof prop === 'number') item.setDynamicProperty('key', prop - 1);

i still don't think i understand what you mean, but i believe that's what you want

[cursive fog]

ill try

[cursive fog]

hi just asking again how do you use getDynamicProperty

[supple perch]

uh

[cursive fog]

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
    const item = new ItemStack("vdg:akm");
    const ammo = item.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', 30);

    world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(gn => {
        const { source: player, itemStack } = gn
        if (typeof ammo === 'number') item.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', ammo - 1)
        if (item.getDynamicProperty('vd:akammo') == 0) empty + 1
    })

})

[supple perch]

just source.getDynamicProperty('key'): value

[cursive fog]

idk if this is right

[supple perch]

uh no i don't think

wait I'm not too sure

gimme a second to verify if the dps are saved on the item entity or the item

[cursive fog]

this ones saved on itemStack idk if thats right

[supple perch]

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

it's on the itemstack, not the itemstack entity

should work i think

[cursive fog]

ight ill check on it

[supple perch]

I'm fixing the code btw

cuz it's flawed

like seriously flawed

[cursive fog]

thanks

ye its really bad tbh

[supple perch]

world.afterEvents.playerSpawn.subscribe((data) => {
  const { player, initialSpawn } = data;
  if (!initialSpawn) return;
  const inv = player.getComponent('inventory')?.container;
  if (!inv) return;
  const itemStack = new ItemStack("vdg:akm");
  itemStack.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', 30);
  inv.addItem(itemStack);
});

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(data => {
  const { source: player, itemStack } = data
  const ammo = itemStack.getDynamicProperty('vd:akammo');
  
  if (typeof ammo === 'number') {
    itemStack.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', ammo - 1);
    if (ammo <= 0)
      itemStack.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', null);
  }
})```
here, i don't have time to explain all the details

but you shouldn't nest event subscriptions

you can subscribe to events even before the world load

you should NOT mix local variables and such across events unless seriously needed (it's not needed in this case)

[cursive fog]

ohh so thats what im missing the inventory

[supple perch]

you tried to give the player a gun with 30 bullets based on the world load event but that won't exactly work, you need to add it to the inventory

[cursive fog]

yes that i didnt knew you have to add it on inventory first

[supple perch]

and then you tried to access that item across the itemUse event which is just plain wrong

[supple perch]

i recommend you watch a JavaScript course from someone like say BroCode (personal favourite, but you can watch anyone else)

and then brush up on the API things: https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/modules/_minecraft_server.html

[cursive fog]

ye i alr watched his 12 hour video altho just some few parts

[cursive fog]

ill try this thanks

[supple perch]

no worries

[supple perch]

yeah but you should focus on the initial parts first. the web stuff is completely optional, you should focus on the definitions, keywords, and operators

[cursive fog]

ye

[buoyant canopy]

is there a node js library that deals with level.dat and/or db files?

i want to move a lot of structure files from one world to another, and i don't want to do it manually everytime or export them 1 by 1 with structure blocks.

[wary edge]

Use amulet. Also not a scripting question.

[buoyant canopy]

i kinda need if for a scripting api project, i didn't know amulet was a node js library?

[broken pawn]

Null or Undefined if i wanted to check if the used item is "minecraft:air"

i mean like if the item in mainhand is empty

[devout sandal]

is this wrong..? Im not sure how to use the new tryTeleport.

function teleportPlayers(island) {
const players = world.getPlayers();
for (const player of players) {
const tpStatus = player.tryTeleport(island.origin);
if (debugging) {
if (tpStatus) {
console.log(${player.name} teleported Successfully);
} else {
console.log(${player.name} teleport Failed);
}
}
}
}

[devout sandal]

do i need to call it?

[meager zenith]

is island.teleport a vector3 location

island.origin I mean

[devout sandal]

yeah it is

origin: { x: 0, y: 64, z: 0 }

[devout sandal]

do i need to import vector3 and declare a new instance of it or can I just use a dictionary with x, y, and z keys?

[meager zenith]

no

you can just use a dictionary

[devout sandal]

ok.. well dang..

[amber granite]

Hello guys anyone knows hwo to mimic border_blocks

[jolly citrus]

What

Just check if the item is falsy

Null undefined false 0

if (!item) should work
if you need to know for whatever reason whether its null or undefined check what the method you’re using is intended to return

[devout sandal]

I am still lost on how to use this. I dont even know if its working because my console logs arent showing up.

[jagged gazelle]

undefined or null works because they're empty.

[jagged gazelle]

make sure the log file is enabled and for this time only use error to check if it really logs

[grim raft]

yo the log says "it cannot read property getScore of undefined at anonymous" which is "player"

world.afterEvents.playerSwingStart.subscribe((event) => {
  const player = event.player
  const m1 = event.swingSource
  if (player && m1 === "Attack") {
    world.scoreboard.getObjective("left").setScore(player, 1)
  }
})```

wait nvm i forgot to add the scoreboard thought i had it

now how can i make it wait some ticks to run a 2nd function

[jolly citrus]

My ahh ran /tickingarea list and now the game crashed 😢😢😢

Should i be concerned

I thought my system was sound but i guess not

[fallow minnow]

am i slow or does this not work any more

i am not able to grab the PFID at all

[jolly citrus]

that doesnt make sense

how could beforeevent be asynchronous and grab data before tick update

[fallow minnow]

it errors without it so

crashes my world

Argument of type '(data: AsyncPlayerJoinBeforeEvent) => void' is not assignable to parameter of type '(arg0: AsyncPlayerJoinBeforeEvent) => Promise<void>'.
Type 'void' is not assignable to type 'Promise<void>'.ts(2345)
(parameter) data: AsyncPlayerJoinBeforeEvent

[jolly citrus]

what version of @minecraft/server is this

[fallow minnow]

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@minecraft/server": "^2.5.0-beta.1.21.131-stable",
    "@minecraft/server-admin": "^1.0.0-beta.1.21.131-stable",
    "@minecraft/server-ui": "^2.1.0-beta.1.21.131-stable"
  }
}

[jolly citrus]

umm last time i checked asyncPlayerJoin doesnt exist

which is just now

[fallow minnow]

its in server-admin

[jolly citrus]

ah

[fallow minnow]

used to work now it doesnt

[jolly citrus]

well it returns a promise

normal because its asynchronous

unless the docs say otherwise youre not meant to be able to resolve it to anything meaningful

Promise<void> wont give you anything meaningful

because its

just void

[fallow minnow]

it used to actually return the pfid now it returns absolutely nothing

[jolly citrus]

same as a function returning nothing

[jolly citrus]

do the docs still say that

if not then they removed it

[fallow minnow]

bruh

it works on a server though

[jolly citrus]

is server-admin not meant for only servers

bds

[fallow minnow]

nope

supposed to work for worlds too

atleast it did

now theres no good way of "permanently" storing data via hardcoded ids 💀

average script api update

[wary edge]

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

Contains types related to administering a Bedrock Dedicated Server. These types allow for the configuration of variables and secrets in JSON files in the Bedrock Dedicated Server folder. These types cannot be used on Minecraft clients or within Minecraft Realms.

[fallow minnow]

but this used to work for worlds

i legit used it

i had old data saved on worlds

in a dynamic property

[fallow minnow]

and doesnt that only apply for variables and secrets? not any of the before events

yeah they simply restricted it to server use only 💀 holy stupid

[jolly citrus]

isn't just .id unique

[amber granite]

I may not have brain gentlemens but i have a question

[jolly citrus]

the numeric id -29283472398 shit

[amber granite]

Is border block is a tickable block ?

[fallow minnow]

only to the world

[jolly citrus]

is that an issue

do you need to export the data or something

[fallow minnow]

yes

[jolly citrus]

how do you do that

genuinely wondering

is it straightforward to extract dynamic properties from world or no

[fallow minnow]

i mean i dont need to export the data but i dont have any other way to properly store data with a static id now

[wary edge]

What does that mean.

[dawn zealot]

get xuid

[jolly citrus]

you cant on worlds

[fallow minnow]

yeah

pfid was basically offbrand xuid

[dawn zealot]

create ur own id system

[amber granite]

Border block does tick ?

[fallow minnow]

do dynamic properties stay on players that have changed their username

[jolly citrus]

yes

players arent indexed by their username in data that would be a mess

[fallow minnow]

so i can just generate a UUID on that players properties and just grab it via join

[jolly citrus]

but idk what im doing in my world atm is i have kv pairs id-username saved in a dynamic property

[fallow minnow]

yeah i was doing that too

[jolly citrus]

well yes but you might as well use their id

what is the difference

[fallow minnow]

true

[jolly citrus]

itll be different on a different world anyway

unless you seed generation by their username, but then that means their id is basically their username just in a different format ...

[fallow minnow]

i would store their pfid as the key and data + username in the values

[jolly citrus]

so it wont protect against gamertag changes

[fallow minnow]

yeah i thought of that too

[jolly citrus]

yeah dont do that

its basically a stupid way of indexing by their username

just pointless abstraction

[fallow minnow]

i might just switch to server stuff

i just wish we could securely grab xuid with server-net

[broken pawn]

understandable

[harsh robin]

is it possible to control someone? @stray spoke

like

take control of someone

[jagged gazelle]

movement wise only?

[harsh robin]

movement and the camera

like they cant move while someone is controling them

[jagged gazelle]

disable all movements of the player you're trying to control and use inputInfo to control directional movement, jump, and sneak.

For the camera I'm not really sure since .setRotation() doesn't work on players afaik

what can only rotate the player is tp

[harsh robin]

aight

ill do the movement only

[supple perch]

yo anyone know how to silence this typing issue without just slapping a good'ol as x

?

BP/scripts/staffs/necromancer.ts(53,50): error TS2345: Argument of type '"staffs:skeleton" | "staffs:wither_skeleton" | "staffs:zombie"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'VanillaEntityIdentifier'.

[stray spoke]

silence mentioned

[last latch]

Help him

You the #1 guy for this

[sharp elbow]

Looks like VanillaEntityIdentifier can take an EntityType. So I suppose you could create one using EntityTypes.get()

[stray spoke]

I'm not, I don't understand a thing

I'm just a cat

[granite badger]

In the parameter just add as any at the end of the value, or as VanillaEntityIdentifier if better

[wary edge]

What method is this? If it's spawnEntity just do spawnEntity<string>(id)

[jolly citrus]

Is 54525 bytes a lot

For dynamic properties

Nvm thats nothing bro the fuck

Why does my shit lag so bad when im saving data

[fallow minnow]

bad code

[jolly citrus]

how

not much you can do wrong i think

i parse the dp and edit the parsed ver then autosave every 60 sec or so depends what data it is

n divide it into chunks with ~32k bytes max

[fallow minnow]

is the data for the player?

if so just directly access the data and cache it so ur not constantly saving that many characters

[jolly citrus]

thats exactly

whati m

doing

thats why i said i parse it and edit it

but no its not just players

[jolly citrus]

cosmetics , market, trades, audits, logs, price history, events

shit ton

of stuff

more than that

[fallow minnow]

yeah idk 54k bytes isnt a lot

[jolly citrus]

they gotta see all the data possible yo

this will be like 2 gigabytes if it actually scales

[fallow minnow]

wait is the form lagging when u open it?

[jolly citrus]

no

it lags when shit autosaves

the form doesnt do anything with dp it just fetches data and calculates

maybe itll lag for some people therec can be up to 33 buttons on these

[empty yoke]

Can't you respawn if you die in hardcore via script?

[amber granite]

Hmmm , I don't guess so

[empty yoke]

I'm trying to set survival mode via scripts but it doesn't work, is there any data that can be modified to reset death?

[amber granite]

Nbt data i guess

But using scripts i don't think that would work

[jagged gazelle]

is there a way to know if the item is charged or not...?

Like a crossbow...

[amber granite]

Yes i guess

U mean event ?

const itemStack = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container.getItem(slotIndex);

if(itemStack.hasComponent("minecraft:charged_item")) {
    const chargedComp = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:charged_item");
    if(chargedComp.isCharged) {
        console.log("The item is charged!");
    } else {
        console.log("The item is not charged.");
    }
}

[jagged gazelle]

where did u even get that information??

can u send me the docs...

[amber granite]

One min

[lethal bramble]

itemcomponent docs

huh nvm

[lethal bramble]

that component doesnt exist

[jagged gazelle]

It doesn't exists brudda, that's why I asked for docs 😭

cause maybe I'm tripping since I can't find it in docs and my notes lmao

[amber granite]

Oh fr ☠️

I thought it existed

Maybe i had Mandela effect or something

[lethal bramble]

isnt it a different item if its charged, idk

like charged_crossbow

[amber granite]

Hmmm yeah maybe

No maybe not

[mystic harness]

do server-admin works in realms? just wanna use transferPlayer from realm to server

[fickle dagger]

love and hate dynamic properties man

[jagged gazelle]

Make that we can use it on blocks and stackable items, we don't have a problem after that...

or only me.

[fickle dagger]

that would be nice yeah

the other one is that it would be nice if it worked for me

[jagged gazelle]

I love ur clippy pfp

I'm gone for months and they still haven't added a breeding component.

that's fine since they added item pickup detection and before event entity hit

my ass doesn't need to deal with damage sensors anymore

[supple perch]

it's spawnEntity, thanks for your response

[supple perch]

yeah i clarified i didn't wanna resort to that in the message.. thanks for the response tho!

[supple perch]

thank you for your response, i'll be trying that too!

[supple perch]

oh haha, i guess i summoned THE SILENCE by accident, my bad

[stray spoke]

another silence mentioned

[snow knoll]

Are you just always online?
How do you normally respond so fast 😭

[warm mason]

waiting for interesting questions...

[snow knoll]

I have an entity that rides the player with an animation to position it behind the player
I want the entity to always face the player's direction as though it were connected to the player's actual geometry but whenever I face a certain angle range it faces another direction. The video below shows the problem more clearly
How can I remedy this?
Can scripts even remedy this or is it more of another type of solution?
Any ideas are sincerely appreciated

[prisma shard]

maybe try doing entity.setRotation(player.getRotation())

[warm mason]

hmmm

[prisma shard]

idk man

[warm mason]

setRotation is very slow to sync with the client

At least use properties

Although I would think about getting the player's rotation through Molang and doing this thing on the client side

[snow knoll]

How do you get it through molang?

[warm mason]

idk

maybe query.bone_rotation would work

[snow knoll]

I thought we couldn't access other entities in molang

[warm mason]

use client-synced properties and animations then

[snow knoll]

To be clear, does that work through getting the view direction of the riding entity, setting that as a property, and using an animation to set that as the look at animation direction?

[warm mason]

Wait.. You're using player.json, right?

[snow knoll]

No 😭

I used too but stopped

[warm mason]

Then how did you make your entity ride on the player?

[snow knoll]

I gave it the parrot family

Cause parrots ride players

SmokeyStack accidentally gave me the idea some months ago and I've remembered ever since

[warm mason]

Then look at how the parrot code works

[snow knoll]

That's a pretty good idea

I test some things out and see if an idea I have works

[snow knoll]

Ok so everything is dictated by the player.json file due to the rideable component

[silver agate]

how can I get custom commands params, like on that example:

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

system.runInterval(() => {
  let message = world.getDynamicProperty('aca:message');
  let time = world.getDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime');
  if (message === undefined) message = '';
  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`${message}\n` + 'aaaaaaa o aaaaaaa');
  }
  if (time === 1 && message !== '') world.setDynamicProperty('aca:message', '');
  world.setDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime', (time - 1));
}, 1);

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((d) => {
  const messageCommand = {
    name: "aca:message",
    description: "sets a message to appear on actionbar",
    permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.GameDirectors,
    mandatoryParameters: [{ type: CustomCommandParamType.String, name: "aca:message" }],
    optionalParameters: [{ type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer, name: "aca:time" }]
  };

  d.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(messageCommand, (c) => {
    world.setDynamicProperty('aca:message', messageParam;
    const messageTime = timeParam * 20 || 100;
    world.setDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime',messageTime)
  });
});

[stray spoke]

I rarely talk and online, how can you say so

Btw how to get the owner of the world's Player class

[snow knoll]

I've seen like 3 instances of you responding between immediately and 5 min later to being summoned

[stray spoke]

For me, I always late reply lol. I don't know how you find me that fast

[jagged gazelle]

charged item component please

[snow knoll]

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree since I don't know how you find yourself slow XD

[stray spoke]

I'm Silenced for a reason

[snow knoll]

Lol

[snow knoll]

Have you checked the shooter component

[jagged gazelle]

what I meant was able to detect charged items using script.

[snow knoll]

Do you know if the bow reacts to the itemUse event

[jagged gazelle]

everything reacts with item use

[snow knoll]

Well then you can fake it

[jagged gazelle]

Nooo, u don't understand lol

CROSSBOW type of charged

[snow knoll]

You can still fake it 🙃

[jagged gazelle]

sigh

I'm not a dumbass not to know that, WHAT I'M SAYING IS A DIRECT WAY

just boolean if an item is charged that's it.

I already know how to check it in a different way btw lmao

[jagged gazelle]

params are indexed iirc, not sure tho lmao

[silver agate]

checked and aparently you just need to put the param name. At the end of the day it was the most intuitive option

[snow knoll]

Im pretty sure the crossbow is hardcoded to an extent so I don't believe it to be possible, unfortunately

[cursive fog]

ive been seeing this alot in js

but just asking

what does store means?

[silver agate]

well, made that and still didnt work:

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

system.runInterval(() => {
  let message = world.getDynamicProperty('aca:message') || '';
  let time = world.getDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime') || 0;
  if (message === undefined) message = '';
  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`${message}\n` + 'aaaaaaa o aaaaaaa');
  }
  if (time === 1 && message !== '') world.setDynamicProperty('aca:message', '');
  if (time >= 1) world.setDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime', (time - 1));
}, 1);

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((d) => {
  const messageCommand = {
    name: "aca:message",
    description: "sets a message to appear on actionbar",
    permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.GameDirectors,
    cheatsRequired: true,
    mandatoryParameters: [{ type: CustomCommandParamType.String, name: 'messageParam' }],
    optionalParameters: [{ type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer, name: 'timeParam' }]
  };

  d.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(messageCommand, messageHandler)

  function messageHandler(messageParam, timeParam) {
    world.setDynamicProperty('aca:message', messageParam);
    const messageTime = timeParam * 20 || 100;
    world.setDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime', messageTime)
  }
});

[warm mason]

Well, like saving some values

[warm mason]

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

function getHost() {
    return world.getAllPlayers().find(player => player.commandPermissionLevel == CommandPermissionLevel.Host);
}

[cursive fog]

i see

@warm mason sorry for ping but is there a good way to add some sort of tick delay?

ive been experimenting with runInterval for a while but doesnt seem to work very well\

[warm mason]

wdym it doesn't work well?

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

[cursive fog]

been trying to make a sort of a tick delay using variables like 1 and 0

every tick of 2 it sets the variable to 1

but after that it goes back to 0

[warm mason]

show code

[cursive fog]

w8 w8

[cursive fog]

const go = system.runInterval(() => {
        delay = 1
    }, 2)
    delay = 0 ```

[warm mason]

uhh

[cursive fog]

im planning to use it for something that uses if (delay === 0) return

@warm mason sorry for ping but just asking is ts code even viable in the first place?

[warm mason]

Do you want the code to execute once after N ticks, or to execute it repeatedly every N ticks?

[warm mason]

idk, I use js

[cursive fog]

once after n ticks because if i use this code on runInterval it wont work the way i intend it

[runic crypt]

Is it possible to force a player to select a specific hotbar slot?

[cursive fog]

@warm mason just one last is it possible to export world.afterEvents stuff?

[warm mason]

player.selectedSlotIndex = 4;

for example

[warm mason]

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

[warm mason]

hm?

[cursive fog]

i want to use a dynamic property i made on another js

is it possible?

[warm mason]

Dynamic properties are accessible from any file like everything else

[cursive fog]

hmmm

ill try

thanks btww

[whole saddle]

is there a way to detect whenever a player hits the air?

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

[whole saddle]

uhh thanks

which version do I need to use?

already found it

[wheat condor]

are there some chances oreUI will be compatible with scripting?

[supple perch]

yessirr

i don't have the link to the message

but there's a DDUI class

[wheat condor]

thank god

[wheat condor]

what's that?

[supple perch]

data driven user interface

it's not how you think it is tho

it's not react code

and it's not HTML

it's more like, cleaner JSON defined UI

[wheat condor]

so its just as bad as json ui?

[supple perch]

and script API getting the power to show/hide and do some stuff with the UIs

[supple perch]

noooo

it's waaaaay better

it's very easy to understand

gimme a sec

[wheat condor]

only show/hide or also edit in real time

[supple perch]

i'll get the link of the message

[distant tulip]

you can't confirm that

[supple perch]

also that i think, i am just saying based on the class def

[supple perch]

true, but why would they make a DDUI class in the first place with such methods?

seems pointless if not usable

#1448357215932121249 message

con master is

oh wait

you meant actual world gen

not script api based world gen

mb

[supple perch]

https://github.com/Mojang/ore-ui

[wheat condor]

That's very cool is this like the equivalent of document.getElement ...... ?

[supple perch]

no my guy

we don't edit nor interact with the web code

it's declarative

[wheat condor]

so its easier to create uis but its the same as json ui?

[supple perch]

no dude

[wheat condor]

what does declarative mean

[open urchin]

It currently seems like the DDUI files will allow you to create your own screen layouts in JSON using vanilla Ore UI elements as well as inserting Ore UI elements into vanilla screens at different "extension points" that the developers add

[supple perch]

you still use JSON for the UI yes, declarative based system means a system that accepts u declaring information (like say a set of instructions, rules, etc.) and does actions (like making the UI) based on said data.

JSON UI != DDUI
they both use the data format JSON for declaring the UIs but their formats are completely different.

[supple perch]

yeah that's basically it

[distant tulip]

i mean, are we sure those are screens and not just spaces like how json ui have namespace

[supple perch]

yes, i mean why else bother creating a class named DDUI that lets ScriptAPI interact with UIs?

[distant tulip]

could be just inserting panels into screens

[supple perch]

i gtg man

have a fantastic evening

[distant tulip]

alr

you too

[supple perch]

only time will tell

[distant tulip]

i guess so

[stray spoke]

Why does the arguments in my custom command only returns the first one even tho it has two parameters, also ingame it shows two. The Target is the first one, the second one is the Minutes:

The code:

data.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand({
    name: format("givevip"),
    description: "give a vip to specific player for a limited time",
    permissionLevel: 1,
    mandatoryParameters: [
      {
        name: "player",
        type: "PlayerSelector"
      },
      {
        name: "minutes",
        type: "Integer"
      }
    ]
  }, (origin,arg)=>{
    const [target,mins] = arg;
    const player = origin.sourceEntity;
//... other codes

[warm mason]

(origin, targets, mins)=>{
    const target = targets[0];
    const player = origin.sourceEntity;

[stray spoke]

What da hill

So args is separated?

Thankss I'll try

[warm mason]

well, u can do this:

(origin, ...args)=>{
    const [targets,mins] = args;
    const target = targets[0];
    const player = origin.sourceEntity;

[stray spoke]

Thanks a lot, I just misunderstood the docs

I thought all args are inside an array

[silver agate]

made adjustments but the command message doesnt shows:

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

system.runInterval(() => {
  let message = world.getDynamicProperty('aca:message') ?? '';
  let time = world.getDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime') ?? 0;
  if (message === undefined) message = '';
  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    player.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`${message}\n` + 'aaaaaaa o aaaaaaa');
  }
  if (time === 1 && message !== '') world.setDynamicProperty('aca:message', '');
  if (time >= 1) world.setDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime', (time - 1));
}, 1);

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe((d) => {
  const messageCommand = {
    name: "aca:message",
    description: "sets a message to appear on actionbar",
    permissionLevel: CommandPermissionLevel.GameDirectors,
    cheatsRequired: true,
    mandatoryParameters: [{ type: CustomCommandParamType.String, name: 'messageParam' }],
    optionalParameters: [{ type: CustomCommandParamType.Integer, name: 'timeParam' }]
  };

  d.customCommandRegistry.registerCommand(messageCommand, messageHandler)

  function messageHandler(origin, args) {
    const message = args.messageParam;
    const time = args.timeParam;
    world.setDynamicProperty('aca:message', message);
    const messageTime = time >= 0 ? time * 20 : 100;
    world.setDynamicProperty('aca:messageTime', messageTime)
  }
});```

[slow walrus]

because DPs are stored under one big NBT tag in the leveldb, so it has to resave everything when you write one DP

[jolly citrus]

that suchs

sicls

sucks

[slow walrus]

yep

are you doing that for a server or something?

[jolly citrus]

yes

or world i mean

[slow walrus]

if it's a server' then I'd recommend using an external DB with a http API

can't do that on worlds though

[jolly citrus]

or realms

unless with a bot

i mean technically

if i write a custom dll

i could make it poll values from the game's memory that correspond to http requests the script wants to make

like entity tags

but that would be very very difficult

at that point id rather run a server

but everything is possible if u put ur mind to it

[runic crypt]

Is there a way to force disabled the auto jump settings with scripts api?

Any explanation for this error?

    const Response = A.show(Player);if(Response.canceled)return;
    const Command = Response.formValues[0].trim();if(!Command)return;
    const ConfirmA = new MessageFormData().title("Command Menus").body("Confirm Command Registry?").button1("True").button2("False");

    try{Player.runCommand(Command);Player.sendMessage(`Execute ${Command} Successful!`)}catch(e){Player.sendMessage("Command Error!")};
};

it says:

[jagged gazelle]

My dyslexia love this so much...

[broken pawn]

and my UpperCase typing love this also

[distant tulip]

the error is self explanatory
look in the line the error is pointing to, if there is a function there, it is expecting 2 or 3 arguments but you only giving it 1
