Script API General

[midnight ridge]

yep

[whole pulsar]

i really liked the slash commands

but very sad they dont fix such things like this

but wouldnt string also work instead of player selector

[midnight ridge]

this map addon had the command without needing to activate cheasts

[midnight ridge]

this is for owner

in this for normal player

[last latch]

cant you just add string parameter and check if it equals to any players name?

[midnight ridge]

idk i didnt give it enough time

[last latch]

why is there no bds related channel?

editor mode but no bds 🗣️

bds related: Can you make a player be the "host" of the server? Essentially, I want to use reload all.

[autumn pewter]

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

system.runInterval(() => {
console.log("Running")
world.getAllPlayers().forEach(player => {
console.log("Player")
let inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")
let container = inventory.container
for (let i = 0; i < container.size; i++) {
console.log(${i} Slot)
let item = container.getItem(i)
console.log(${item})
if (item) continue;
if (item.typeId === "minecraft:stick") {
let nitem = new ItemStack("minecraft:stick", item.amount)
console.log(${nitem})
nitem.setLore(["Isso e um Graveto", "Nossa que ligal!"])
container.setItem(i, nitem)
}
}
})

}, 100)

Why this code is not working? Only on reload

[warm mason]

continue can only be used in loops (for, while, do while). Even if you had a loop, it wouldn't work, because if Boolean(item), the iteration fails and the second condition can't be satisfied (and sometimes there might be an error, because Item might be undefined). Also, instead of creating a new ItemStack, you could use setLore on the current ItemStack to save other properties

[autumn pewter]

Oh

[ivory bough]

How to make a dash that makes the player move 6 blocks forward and up simultaneously? I tried but it doesn't work.

[hoary matrix]

guys is it possible to add lore to any items ?

Is this preview only?

[sharp elbow]

Aye

[flat barn]

next update release?

[stray spoke]

[snow knoll]

Can you show what you tried so we can correct mistakes if you still have it

[wheat plaza]

i know how to fix

{
"binding_type": "view",
"source_property_name": "((#form_button_texture - (#form_button_texture % 65536)) / 65536)",
"target_property_name": "#item_id_aux"
}

search for aux and find something in the chest-server_form.json that say what i have below
{
"binding_type": "view",
"source_property_name": "(#form_button_texture * 1)",
"target_property_name": "#item_id_aux"
}

should be in the array aux_id

[wheat plaza]

just replace that with this

[jolly citrus]

is there any better way to store data on realms/worlds than dynamic properties

cause i only have 33k bytes used yet it already lags a ton

[sudden nest]

I just learned that u cannot make any fish mobs ride any entity even custom ones, cuz it's hardcoded.

[wheat plaza]

not really

[jolly citrus]

Is it true that updating any key on a world's dynamic properties means it also re-indexes the rest in the process

[slow walrus]

it has to resave every dynamic property when you update one yes

[flat barn]

Yes but it only matters for large data sets

[jolly citrus]

is this why my world lags for like 10sec when i save my shit

How am i meant to combat this

[wary edge]

How many DPs do you have and how big are they?

How often are you updating?

[jolly citrus]

Every 60s

[jolly citrus]

I dont know how many but tgheyre big

[wary edge]

What are you saving every 60s? Any reason?

[jolly citrus]

Up to 32k bytes big

[jolly citrus]

Everything basically

[wary edge]

Thats not helpful

[jolly citrus]

Strings bro

Its just serialized json

Big strings

[wary edge]

What data are you saving? Does ot have to be every 60s

[jolly citrus]

I dont know else id avoid massive data loss

So yes i think every 60s is reasonable

[jolly citrus]

I dont know why it matters

What data I'm saving I mean

Player data
Market data
Staff audits
Player activity logs

And more

[wary edge]

Because some things dont need to be saved every 60s depending on the situation.

[jolly citrus]

I think all of this must be

Some of it even more often esp market data

[buoyant canopy]

how to make onUse not fire when onUseOn fire for custom item components?

[thorn flicker]

maybe check if there's no block in the player's view direction in a distance

[buoyant canopy]

that's what i was using

until i tested my addon with mobile today and realized how bad raycast is for touch screens

[thorn flicker]

maybe dont do this and use sneak interactions instead for your alt use

[buoyant canopy]

...

[thorn flicker]

idk what you are doing

[buoyant canopy]

anyway, now i am putting the player id in a set if the onUseOn event is called, call the the onUse event one tick layer if the player id isn't in the set and remove it from it 2 ticks later
i was hoping for a native way

[thorn flicker]

..

[buoyant canopy]

the item does something different when used on a lodestone compared to when used in the air or any other block

[thorn flicker]

maybe try this, when the player interacts with the lodestone set a property on the player.
and in itemUse beforeEvent check for this property and cancel the event.

[buoyant canopy]

literally what i am doing but worse

[thorn flicker]

my suggestion is worse?

[buoyant canopy]

because it writes data on the player file that might get stuck if something unexpected happen

[thorn flicker]

not if you use a temp property.

dont use dynamic.

player.randomProperty = true

[last latch]

thats possible?

[thorn flicker]

yes.

[last latch]

damn

[buoyant canopy]

by using a set it's only saved in memory and if anything were to happen it will fix itself by relogging

[last latch]

javascript ❤️‍🩹

[thorn flicker]

what about it

[last latch]

nothing, its peak javascript behavior

[buoyant canopy]

i know, but i not calling the onUse function from the onUseOn function and passing the player instance to it so that property won't exist

[thorn flicker]

im willing to bet this is a problem to people

somehow

[last latch]

me too, but no one is gonna bet against us so we wont make any money out of our bets

[thorn flicker]

lol

[thorn flicker]

yes it will.

[buoyant canopy]

oh you meant this

[thorn flicker]

..?

and also make sure to get rid of it after a tick or 2

[buoyant canopy]

no, because it only be saved on that instance of Player, so unless i pass that instance to the onUse function, the property won't exist on it, i have tested that before

[thorn flicker]

not true

ive tested aswell

[buoyant canopy]

i am almost willing to bet on it, let me test that again real quick

[thorn flicker]

make sure not to reload the script in between testing.

because that would get rid of the property

[buoyant canopy]

ik

[buoyant canopy]

you were right

[thorn flicker]

yeah I assumed you did it wrong somehow, its fine

but yeah try what i suggested

I believe it would work

[dapper copper]

Player.prototype.randomProperty = true;

?

[jagged gazelle]

pipol

how do I get the data in a custom component?

I registered it in the item so doing item.getComponents() it shows up but me doing item.getComponent('<id>') returns undefined

[small depot]

Why?

The other one is more simple

[jagged gazelle]

NVM got it, I'm fuckin stupid

[dapper copper]

idk

[thorn flicker]

they are trolling

[dapper copper]

are they now

[thorn flicker]

they are indeed

[dapper copper]

ok cellvoid

llecdiov

vellcoid

[chrome river]

I'm still new to scripting and trying to figure it out. I'm trying to get a block to emit particles using onTick but this just breaks it:

const EmitParticleComponent = {
    onTick() {
        runCommand("particle ser:chem_smoke ~~~")
    }
};

I am confused on what to do and where I am going wrong

I am also using itemComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent("ser:emit_particle", EmitParticleComponent); in the system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(({ itemComponentRegistry }) => {} and have "ser:emit_particle": {} in my block components

[dapper copper]

const EmitParticleComponent = { onTick: ({ dimension, block }) => {
    dimension.spawnParticle("ser:chem_smoke", block.location)
  }};

try that

but why are you using itemComponentRegistry if this is for a block?

[chrome river]

I might be stupid

is there a blockComponentRegistry?

That is exactly what was happening. Thank you

[wicked girder]

Is it possible to check if the sprint key is pressed? like when movement is disabled

[amber granite]

Hmmm , not directly

[thorn flicker]

no but you can detect sneaking or jumping with playerButtonInput afterEvent

[wicked girder]

Dang

I made a free cam and wanted the ability to sprint

[subtle cove]

hb using the movement component

[halcyon phoenix]

can't believe I can do OOP now

[amber granite]

Oop ?

[wicked girder]

I dont think that really give much. Or anything really

[amber granite]

Ooohh ._. o o p

U can calculate the velocity of player per 20 ticks

[wicked girder]

not with movement locked

[subtle cove]

hmm, ye thats fair

[cursive fog]

anybody knew why my dynamic property wont work?

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);

});


world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(ev => {
    const { source: player, itemStack } = ev
    if (itemStack.typeId !== gun) return
    const ammo = itemStack.getDynamicProperty('vd:akammo');

    const dpshoot = system.runInterval(() => {
        if (typeof ammo === 'number') {
            itemStack.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', ammo - 1);
        }
    }, 1)

    system.runInterval(() => {
        if (itemStack.getDynamicProperty('vd:akammo') <= 0) empty = true
        if (itemStack.getDynamicProperty('vd:akammo') > 0) empty = false
    })


    const container = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container
    if (!container) return
    container.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, itemStack)

})

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

    itemStack.setDynamicProperty('vd:akammo', 30);
    const container = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container
    if (!container) return
    container.setItem(player.selectedSlotIndex, itemStack)
}) ```

i removed the null part alr

so for the systemruninterval on the if part idk why it wont set empty var to either to true or false

anybody knew why?

[stray spoke]

How do I set the value of can_fly component

[open urchin]

scripting can't change the value of components, you have to set the value of components in the entity JSON
you could add an event to your entity that adds a component group with the can_fly component and then trigger that event with scripts

[stray spoke]

Can fly is not a client entity json component, and it does can change just like minecraft:health

[open urchin]

health is different since it's an attribute component where the JSON definition sets a max, min and default value

[stray spoke]

Yeah I think for some components, we can set and read values. Idk if can_fly can set

because using the command /ability we can change it

So I think there might be an api for it also

[open urchin]

mayfly is separate from the can_fly component
only players have abilities

can_fly is just for pathfinding afaik

[stray spoke]

Ahh alright

I guess I'll stick to runCommand

Thanks

[dapper copper]

no but you can use the isSprinting property

[stray spoke]

Why does getDefaultSpawn always have maximum height level

[open urchin]

the game tries to spawn the player at the highest position in the world
otherwise when you make a new world you'd probably start in a cave

[stray spoke]

I see, thanks a lot

[wicked girder]

Again this doesn't work with movement disabled

[devout sandal]

how can I get the potion type of the potion ENTITY.. in the EntityDieAfterEvent? (posting in entities general as well)

[devout sandal]

Ok, I am actually switching to the EntityRemovedBeforeEvent so I can get the location.. but still am wondering this..

[stray spoke]

[turbid delta]

there is no way to do this at in this event. if you want to do this you will have to add a dynamic property or a tag to the potion entity you can use. for example if the potion is always from a player create a itemUse event that gets the potion type and add the tags to the potion spawned either with a separate entitySpawn event or an area around the player. if its from a dispenser or witch i dont think you can do anything

same applies to entityRemove event

maybe you can do some magic with https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entityprojectilecomponent?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental to match

[novel goblet]

Hey silly question

Are dynamic properties only beta API?

[sudden nest]

No, It's in stable api, been using in in quite sometime

[novel goblet]

Thanks for letting me know, just found out I’m stupid and I’m not defining things properly

What’s the best method to learn scriptAPI if I already have some experience with JS or Java

[sudden nest]

I think the common answer is building projects, but looking at some large projects is also great, that's what i have been doing

[novel goblet]

Ah sweet okay. I’ll try and start simpler then

Any good recommendations for projects to check out?

[sudden nest]

It depends really what you are interested in, before i just started with simple tree capitators and like auto plant crops

Most of the time, i learned by porting some small mods from java to bedrock

[granite cape]

p

[weary umbra]

guys how does onRedstoneUpdate works? Do I need to give the block a component? if yes which one and does it work like a tick intervall? when powered

someone? Please

[weary umbra]

bruh I'm dumb it literally says onRedstoneUpdate

[mystic harness]

can i get component a shulker box that is inside the inventory?

[devout sandal]

This is good advice, thank you

[stray spoke]

[shy leaf]

scripting can only access to components that are actually supported

since a component can be anything else other than "value"

what youre probably thinking of is attribute components, which includes health

although i wish we could freely edit attribute values...

[sudden nest]

Anyone know a way to store a data to a block (no entity involved) cuz eith states u can only store like 16 bits, mine used 24 bits (i am using hex per state to store some data) , i know some ways but i wanna know what you guys have done, cuz mine is probably more work.

[stray spoke]

Yeah that'll be useful, has a lot of potential uses

[subtle cove]

toJSON() is crazy

just some random free food ;-; ```js

getPlayerPlots() {
    const data = JSON.parse(world.getDynamicProperty("playerPlots"));
    const convert = (allowBlocks) => {
        if (typeof allowBlocks === "number") {
            return [
                {
                    chest: (allowBlocks & (1 << 0)) !== 0,
                    barrel: (allowBlocks & (1 << 1)) !== 0,
                    undyedShulkerBox: (allowBlocks & (1 << 2)) !== 0,
                    enderChest: (allowBlocks & (1 << 3)) !== 0,
                    dropper: (allowBlocks & (1 << 4)) !== 0,
                    hopper: (allowBlocks & (1 << 5)) !== 0,
                },
            ];
        }
        if (typeof allowBlocks === "object") {
            let ab = 0;
            if (allowBlocks.chest) ab |= 1 << 0;
            if (allowBlocks.barrel) ab |= 1 << 1;
            if (allowBlocks.undyedShulkerBox) ab |= 1 << 2;
            if (allowBlocks.enderChest) ab |= 1 << 3;
            if (allowBlocks.dropper) ab |= 1 << 4;
            if (allowBlocks.hopper) ab |= 1 << 5;
            return ab;
        }
    };
    data.forEach((p) => {
        if ("ab" in p) {
            p.allowBlocks = convert(p.ab);
            delete p.ab;
        }
    });
    // should trigger when JSON.stringify(data)
    Object.defineProperty(data, "toJSON", {
        enumerable: false,
        value() {
            return this.map((p) => {
                const copy = { ...p };
                if ("allowBlocks" in copy) {
                    copy.ab = convert(copy.allowBlocks[0]);
                    delete copy.allowBlocks;
                }
                return copy;
            });
        },
    });
    return data;
}```

[granite cape]

abcd

[earnest meadow]

oh no, a bitwise operator is used, the complexity

[stray spoke]

Is initialSpawn in playerSpawn a first time join, or first time spawn in the world so it resets on joining again

[open urchin]

it's before each "<player> joined the game" message in chat

[stray spoke]

Alright thanks again

[subtle cove]

copilot's help, im not fluent with bitwise, just have base understanding

[amber granite]

Bitwise are very easy

They are made to shift the numbers binary numbers

Like
1 << 2
0000.0001 << 2

0000.0100
= 4

@subtle cove

Those bitwise turning the both right and left value to binary then compare each bit of both like : | , & , !

[subtle cove]

welp, not a language I wana learn for now, i just let ai speak it's own lang ;-;

[amber granite]

It s easy to not to learn

U will need it to optimize your code trust me

Betwise just turns numbers to binary form and compare each position that s all :
Like
2 & 1

0010 & 0001
= 0 0 0 0
= 0

[subtle cove]

in any length, right?

[amber granite]

They give you a binary result not true or false like the regular one

[subtle cove]

like the (allowBlocks & (1 << 45678))

[amber granite]

Yes they are compare the positions in integers after turning the to binary :
Like
1 & 1 = 1
1 & 0 = 0

[amber granite]

It will turn 1 to binary and shift it 45678 position to the left

And then it will give you very big number in return ._.

[earnest meadow]

well, exchanging readability for optimization isn't really worth it on small cases like these. Especially since bitwise operators are uncommon(if not rare) in high level languages like JS

[amber granite]

Hmm there are something called :
// Comments

[amber granite]

Anyways what the problem with this code?_.

[subtle cove]

the db on our server was reaching limits so had to come up with anything necessary

[amber granite]

What the problem so i can help you ._.

[subtle cove]

w/o using split, it's using [{},{}] atm

like 70+ entries

[amber granite]

Can u tell me what the problem :-: ?

[subtle cove]

on nxt one we'll use separate objects for specific data use like one object dyprop per plot etc

the '[]' was abt 31k length

[amber granite]

._.

[subtle cove]

data was lota this in the array

[amber granite]

Oh i guess i want to save data in the most optimized way righr ?

[subtle cove]

i didnt have time to make changes on it's setup before, that's why

i wana avoid looping, and just use one object for specific use on the nxt season

[amber granite]

🤦‍♂️ can u tell me what you are trying to do , and what s your problem instead of explaining me how it works ? @subtle cove

Oh you want to avoid looping and use one object for all players data ?

[subtle cove]

it's not a problem... ;-; dont solve it, it's already handled

[amber granite]

Sure ? :-: because i have an idea that make it better than using 999 object

[subtle cove]

do tell

[amber granite]

So u use one object that have multiple keys that uses arrays

And then using
name , members , from to , center , tp extra

Use Plural words

And make the key an array

So when u want a player data u use
playersPlots[1][1][1] etc...

It will be more optimized

U can bring all datas in one object in one dynamic array by looping only the players names

[subtle cove]

const DB = new Database("PLOT");// dprop of IGNkeys[]
const plot = DB.get(player.name);// dprop plotData

[amber granite]

Then after getting the index , u use it for the rest thing , because each player's data are having the same index

I think it s better to use a code so u understand me

[subtle cove]

that's likely gona use more enums, right?

[amber granite]

Hmmm no just using arrays

[subtle cove]

that's how i'd name em instead of plain numbers

[amber granite]

const playerPlots = {
names : [],
memberes : [[]],
froms : [] ,
tos : [],
center : [] ,
tps : [],
allowBlocks : [[]],
playerTages : [[]]
}

So instead of using multiple objects u use only one

[subtle cove]

is it like a 2d table?

[stray spoke]

[subtle cove]

matching their indexes...

[amber granite]

And use a loop to search The concerned player index

And use that index to reach the rest of its data

[amber granite]

Hmmm yes u can say so

const DB = new 
Database("PLOTS") ;
const plot = DB.set(playerPlots) ;

And just for your knowledge, if u a big array instead of of keys u will get better results

const playerPlots = [ [] , [[]] , .... , [[]] ] 

[subtle cove]

values are saved alone eh

it's hard to teach it to the co-devs tho

[amber granite]

Can i be of em :-: ?

Do u need volunteers?

[subtle cove]

not rly ;-;

it's just a free server for kidz

[amber granite]

;-; ._. i would be happy to help optimization

:-: np

[subtle cove]

thx for the offer btw

[subtle cove]

i had this idea yrs ago, but setting up enums for readability got me stuck, and just left it

[amber granite]

._. u are using js or ts ?

[subtle cove]

before ai was a thing

just js

[amber granite]

._. is your problem with memory or storage?

Or watchdog usage threshold

[subtle cove]

storage for now since it's using []

[amber granite]

Oh ._.

[subtle cove]

changing the data w/o testing in-game ;-;

[amber granite]

Are u sure memory is a big deal ?

I mean storage*

Like will you store 1 TB of datas ;-;

[subtle cove]

no, not that storage, it's the 32k limit per property i dont wana reach

[amber granite]

🗿

[subtle cove]

btw, whatcha think of storing player's locations per minute?

big object eh

[amber granite]

I actually don't store players locas as raw objects

I omit everything and let only numbers

Like instead of
{ X : 8272 , y : 8272 , z : -9282 }
I turn them into string and :
Let locString = "8272:8727:-9282/"

And do concatenation to the rest ._.

[subtle cove]

yup, same thing ig

[amber granite]

And i got a little string like this instead:
Let locsString "x1:y1:z1/x2:y2:z2/etc../"

[subtle cove]

was thinking if there's other way than vectors

[amber granite]

And i made a function to make them into objects again

[amber granite]

Huh ☠️

What do u mean , u just turn numbers into string then put commas between each location, and by that you are getting much bigger storage

[subtle cove]

i mean compacting the vectors collected

oh well it's too much to think of anyway

was just an idea to the bin

[amber granite]

._.

I made a database for it

@subtle cove

[subtle cove]

that's cool then

how much storage does it occupy now?

[amber granite]

:-: ._.

[subtle cove]

how long has it been recording 👀

[amber granite]

☠️ i made its code

[subtle cove]

ohw

[amber granite]

As i remember it recorded 97K char last time

But i can compact it more by using @subtle cove hexadecimal format

It s size will be nearly - 50%

[subtle cove]

hmm, idk abt using hex yet. im not entering any multiple big numbers yet

[amber granite]

I just said

Because js supports hex

So it would be better

[subtle cove]

i could only take note if it for now 'til i need it soon, thx

[amber granite]

But it will needs the vectors to be totally integers

Not float point numbers

[dapper copper]

i mean yeh

[sudden nest]

why is it that after taming the nautilus, then calling that nautilus entity with script api then checking if it's tamed by EntityTameableComponent and EntityTameMountComponent returns undefined instead of something that has value? i cannot seem to get who's owner of this entity or even the tamedMob.getComponent(EntityTameMountComponent.componentId)?.isTamed and tamedMob.getComponent(EntityTameableComponent.componentId)?.isTamed doesn't return any value. I mean it should be cuz it's tamed i think.. is this a bug?

[wheat condor]

Tame mount? i never seen that component

[wary edge]

It's a "bug" / WAI for vanilla mobs as once tamed they remove that component.

You are completely misreading what they're asking.

They even stated they used both TameMount and Tameable

[wheat condor]

i didnt read the whole convo

[wary edge]

You should read the whole thing next time.

[wheat condor]

you re right

[sudden nest]

ah okay, hope they fix this. Thanks for letting me know, i thought i was crazy.

Yeah I love the script sdk

Is there a way to make players fly faster? cause I can't set the value of the custom component called "flying_speed"

[stray spoke]

Speed effect while in flying state

I don't think that works

yeah it doesn't

Creative Flight dampens the effect of movement outside of flight itself
A really high level of speed coukd do something, can't remember if flight cancels the effects of speed or not
Either way, I believe both applyImpulse and applyKnockback can be used to increase flight speed but would need to be constantly run in a runInterval

[whole saddle]

Alr thanks

[snow knoll]

No problem

[dull shell]

How would I go about making it run commands off a player being hit by 2 different entities?
Im trying to make it so when hit by jay:zombie it runs a set of commands then hit by jay:boss_zombie it runs a different set

rn im using

      "events": {
        "jay:player_hit": {
        "queue_command": {
            "command": [
                "scoreboard players operation @s Health -= ZomDamage Settings",
                "execute @s[scores={Health=..0}] ~~~ kill @s"
            ]
        }
    },```
in the player.json but thats j when the player is hit at all so its very inaccurate

[haughty gust]

Can server-admin transferplayer be used in realms?

[remote oyster]

It could in the past but I'm unaware if that has since changed. It was mentioned a while back that if it were abused they would revisit it but I haven't heard any complaints so you should be good.

[haughty gust]

nice, i just wanted to know before buying a realm to transfer players easier to my server.

[remote oyster]

If by some chance you know someone with a realm, you might be able to convince them to let you do a quick test to verify.

[dapper copper]

it can

if not they must've changed it, however ive seen no updates on that

[jagged gazelle]

Y'know basic scripts or nah??

[dull shell]

ehh not really

[tidal wasp]

How do you do anything with getAllStates()?

[wary edge]

It's a record so you loop through it.

[tidal wasp]

Oke

[wheat plaza]

how long have u been testing with endstone

[fallow minnow]

like a day

[wheat plaza]

dang is that like plugin or script api but only for endstone

[fallow minnow]

its script api and optional plugins

script api + extra on top

[wheat plaza]

ah

[fallow minnow]

so u can do just script api and access like

xuid

os

ip

boss bars

client sided nametags

[wheat plaza]

wait u can do all oh that on ednstone

endstone?

[fallow minnow]

yes

without plugins

just using their sdk

[wheat plaza]

Bruh tf

i needa look at endstone now to make a ip ban and vpn detection

[wheat plaza]

question would endstone be good for a smp

[fallow minnow]

i mean yeah

only thing that really matters is performance

so vps

im using ovhcloud right now

just the vps1 server

$4.90 USD for pretty crazy things

[jagged gazelle]

are you batman and a silver surfer??

[fallow minnow]

yes

[tidal wasp]

Ok so I've gotten it to print out the keys and values into s console.error but im currently struggling on how to get it into setPermutation

[wary edge]

Just do setPemutation(getAllStates())

[tidal wasp]

No Blockpermutation.resolve?

[wary edge]

Well, yeah, setPermutation(BP.resolve(getAllStates()))

[tidal wasp]

Huh

[wary edge]

I'm quite confused tbh.

This is all ovee complicated.

Why don't you just setPermutation(block.permutation)

[tidal wasp]

because im trying to copy a block from a specific location

and any states it may have

[wary edge]

What does that have to do with anything?

If you have access to the block you have access to its permutation. So just use that permuation and pass it into setPermutation.

[tidal wasp]

I'm lost

[wary edge]

What are you lost about?

blockB.setPermutation(blockA.permutation)

[tidal wasp]

wait you can just use e.block.permutation in setPermutation and it will just use the permutations found?

damn

[wary edge]

Yes.

[tidal wasp]

thanks

[wheat plaza]

Ooooo

[wheat plaza]

can u send link never seen it but heard of it

nvm found it

300 entities in 1 spot with a $4.90 server and the tps only drops to 19 and stats consistantly at 19

[chrome gyro]

       const volume = new BlockVolume({ x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 });
        for (const eachb of volume.getBlockLocationIterator()) {
              const blockt = block.dimension.getBlock(eachb);
                  console.error(`${blockt.typeId}`)
            }

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong. It doesn't return the typeId. Says it's undefined, but it's clearly a block I'm looking at.

[chrome gyro]

Oooooh aparently it gives the coords relative to the block, but not the global coords so I just had to add those into it:

        const volume = new BlockVolume({ x: -9, y: 1, z: -9 }, { x: 9, y: 11, z: 9 });
        for (const eb of volume.getBlockLocationIterator()) {
              const blockt = block.dimension.getBlock({x:loc.x+eb.x,y:loc.y+eb.y,z:loc.z+eb.z});
                  console.error(`${eb.x},${eb.y},${eb.z},${blockt.typeId}`)
            }```

[untold magnet]

umm, how can i detect when an entity explode?

world.afterEvents.explosion.subscribe(({source: entity}) => {}) or something?

[broken pawn]

don't use that

oh afterEvents.... what are you gonna do with that?

i always use beforeEvents to prevent specific entity from exploding

🗣️ 🔥 🔥

world.beforeEvents.explosion.subscribe((E)=>{
if(E.source?.typeId=="minecraft:creeper")E.setImpactedBlocks([])
})

it used whenever a creeper explode, any impacted block still remain untouched

[untold magnet]

ill spawn an entity at the location of the exploded entity, so i think it has to be done using beforeEvents, right?

[broken pawn]

haven't tried using that method

try it then, mostly beforeEvents used if the following entity removed where you cannot execute some component with afterEvents

[untold magnet]

i have to extract the entity location and spawn it using dimension, bec it doesnt work with the explosion source

yup, that works

[cursive fog]

are there any script equivalent to /say or /tell

smth that sends message using scripts basically

[runic maple]

Can any mob apart from players use the eqquipable component?

When the player is looking straight, what is the x rotation value in player.getRotation()

[sharp elbow]

0. x-rotation is around the x-axis, which involves looking up and down. Minecraft defines straight forward as 0 rotation

[snow knoll]

Thank you!

[midnight ridge]

can we trigger the minecraft:ageable event on the animal to simulate eating/breeding?

[snow knoll]

Use entity.triggerEvent

[midnight crane]

This is my gui script how do I make it so you need a tag to see a button and where would I put it

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(async (data) => {
   const player = data.source;
    if (data.itemStack.typeId === 'minecraft:apple') {
            await test(player);
    }
})

function test(player) {
    const menu = new ActionFormData()
        .title("title")
        .button("1")
        .button("2")
        .button("3");

    menu.show(player).then(result => {
        if (result.canceled) return;

        switch (result.selection) {
            case 0:
                // response for first button 
                break;
            case 1:
                                // response for second button 
                break;
            case 2:
                // response for third button 
                break;
        }
    });
} ```

[amber granite]

Make different uis

Or make if statement between button and other

Like this

....
.title("title");
if ( player.TagsMethod = "your Name tag" ) menu.button("1") ;

And so on

Sorry i don't remember the exact method to get players tag or tags

So it must be pussting if statement and use if else too

@midnight crane

[midnight crane]

Okay thanks

[stray spoke]

[deep quiver]

player.hasTag("");

[thorn flicker]

if (player.hasTag("tag") {
     menu.button("1")
}

[warm mason]

Where is ")"?!??!?!?!?!?

[thorn flicker]

cleary I made a mistake!!!!!!

[warm mason]

How dare you still not fix it?!

[stray spoke]

Js wanna ask if ItemStack or ItemStack.clone() returns an object that consists also all method functions, so that it can be stored and return again

Nvm, it returns {} or error if I stringify it

[devout sandal]

Does anyone know if we can use getBlockFromViewDirection and or getEntityFromViewDirection to get blocks/entities from BEHIND the view direction?

[stray spoke]

Its "View Direction" for a reason

But I think math can make it

Reversing the facingLocation I think (BlockRaycastHit)

And reversing the entity.location (EntityRaycastHit)

[cinder shadow]

do we not have any getPlayer method that uses a players id? Only thing I'm seeing is to do world.getPlayers(); and going through each one and checking it

[stray spoke]

We dont

Needs to check all players first

You can make your own Prototype or Function as a shortcut instead

[cinder shadow]

yeah, all just to send the player a message that they left a party

damn, id isn't even an entity filter

maybe I should be saving players in a party as just their player name

or include both ig

[stray spoke]

If it's about player leave event, they also have playerName

[cinder shadow]

nope, making a party system

[stray spoke]

Why id if the player exist in the world

[stray spoke]

Its part of Entity class

[cinder shadow]

So that they persist in the party if they leave the world

[cinder shadow]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entityfilter?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable It is in the Entity class, it is not in the EntityFilter interface

[stray spoke]

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

[stray spoke]

That was used for certain function such as raycast hit, idk why you need that, what code did you use

[cinder shadow]

It's used for world.getPlayers(), player leave event isn't remotely what I'm trying to do right now

[stray spoke]

So you want to get the player's name that didn't exist anytime

Yeah I think make database to save the names would be right

[cinder shadow]

all good, already solved it. I just needed to know if there was a native getPlayer(entityId) call anywhere. It's for a party system and I'm building out the commands for it

[midnight crane]

It worked thank you so much

[tidal wasp]

Generally what's the point of unsubscribing from an event like afterPlayerInteractWithBlock?

[cinder shadow]

There isn't one unless you're embedding one event inside of another for whatever reason

But there are usually better alternatives then having to do that

[stray spoke]

Noway

No way

I mean

A developer of RuneCraft

[cinder shadow]

What

[twilit sky]

Seems like you can use world.getEntity() to get players as well.

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

world.afterEvents.playerJoin.subscribe(e => {
  const { playerId } = e

  system.runInterval(() => {
    const entity = world.getEntity(playerId)

    if (!entity) {
      world.sendMessage("nothing found")
      return
    }

    world.sendMessage(entity.id)

    if (entity instanceof Player) {
      world.sendMessage("found a player!!")
      world.sendMessage(`player has slot ${entity.selectedSlotIndex} selected`)
    }

  }, 100)
})

It only says Entity in the docs. I guess it includes players too though.

/**
 * @remarks
 * Returns an entity based on the provided id.
 *
 * @param id
 * The id of the entity.
 * @returns
 * The requested entity object.
 * @throws
 * Throws if the given entity id is invalid.
 */
getEntity(id: string): Entity | undefined;

[thorn flicker]

a player is an entity

[cinder shadow]

woops, that completely slipped my mind, I was only searching by player. Thanks!

Although I just realized I should also be storing player names

I wonder which is more efficient to do, I'd assume several world.getEntity calls vs a world.getPlayers with a name filter

[twilit sky]

I'd say it depends on how many players you're planning to get.

You could always do a filter afterwards using JavaScript's .filter() method on .getAllPlayers() if EntityQueryOptions doesn't provide enough options.

world.getAllPlayers().filter(player => player.name === "player1")

[thorn flicker]

getPlayers has entityQueryOptions

could use that instead

[cinder shadow]

I guess the flow is either A) js players = world.getPlayers(filter by name if included in list of players in party) -> for loop of players -> send message or B) ```js
for loop of players in the party that I stored -> player = world.getEntity(id) -> send message

[thorn flicker]

A makes more sense

[cinder shadow]

I think B makes more sense lol

[thorn flicker]

how come

[cinder shadow]

easier to read, I don't know about the runtime, it's likely negligible

[thorn flicker]

I disagree

but alright

whatever floats your boat ig lol

[thorn flicker]

also why store the names

[cinder shadow]

I wasn't going to store names originally but I figured people might want some sort of /plist to show players in their party

Won't really be helpful if it's just a bunch of entity Id's

[thorn flicker]

just use tags or dynamic properties

and make a custom command that lists the players

[cinder shadow]

That's what I'm doing

[thorn flicker]

ah

alr

[cinder shadow]

I'm going to look at both ways to see which ones actually easier to read now lol

[thorn flicker]

okay now that I visualized it more, maybe B is better

lol

[twilit sky]

I'd like to highlight the off-chance that a player might change their username, and if something would break as a result of that.

Were you planning on storing both ids and name?

[cinder shadow]

It was originally just going to be player Id but now it's this js const partyInfo = { partyId: playerId, players: [{ name: player.name, id: playerId, online: true }] }

[thorn flicker]

use ids instead

[cinder shadow]

I'm using ids for everything, name is display purposes only

[thorn flicker]

makes sense

[cinder shadow]

this pretty much disqualifies option A then anyways

It's a very rare chance for that to occur anyways since the party would have to be persisting long enough for a player to leave, change their username, then rejoin

export function partyDisband(source) {
    const player = source.sourceEntity;
    const playerId = player.id;

    let parsedPartyListInfo = JSON.parse(world.getDynamicProperty('party_list') ?? '[]');
    const index = parsedPartyListInfo.findIndex(entry => entry.partyId === playerId);
    const listedParty = parsedPartyListInfo[index];
    if(index != -1) {
        for(const entry of listedParty.players) {
            const playerInParty = world.getEntity(entry.id);
            if(playerInParty.id === listedParty.partyId) continue;
            playerInParty.sendMessage(`The party you were in has disbanded.`)
        }
        parsedPartyListInfo.splice(index, 1);
        world.setDynamicProperty('party_list', JSON.stringify(parsedPartyListInfo));
        player.sendMessage(`Party disbanded.`)
    }
    else {
        player.sendMessage(`You are not in a party or are a party leader.`);
    }
}``` this seems easy enough to read through though

[thorn flicker]

why are you not just giving them a dynamic property or tag to make them part of the party

doing this seems like extra work, and worse because you need to stringify/parse

[cinder shadow]

players can stay in a party after they leave the world

as long as one player is still active

This way I can just access all of the relevant data in one place

I really need to set up a dual gameplay system so I can test these out though

[thorn flicker]

just create functions to get the relevant data?

[cinder shadow]

But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to read if a player was in a party after they had left the world

I don't know though, I can't test this stuff out

[thorn flicker]

hm.

I see now

[cinder shadow]

Though this does have a potential limit compared to storing this data per player

Doesn't world.getPlayers return all players, offline and online?

[thorn flicker]

all players that exist

so not offline

[cinder shadow]

then why does getAllPlayers specify that they are all active players

that would essentially make getAllPlayers and getPlayers pretty much identical minus not having filter options on getPlayers

[thorn flicker]

active as in, online

[stray spoke]

Who even uses getPlayers

[thorn flicker]

people who need entityQueryOptions for players.

honestly idk why getAllPlayers exists

[cinder shadow]

Actually, I don't think I would ever have to worry about reaching the limit

[stray spoke]

Kinda same as getEntities, so does that means getPlayers is better

[thorn flicker]

if you need entityQueryOptions.

[stray spoke]

Yeah I think getAllPlayers would be useless

It's just a long typing clone that doesn't have better filtering

[thorn flicker]

yeah.

[cinder shadow]

mk.. so this method can store around 400-450 players

I don't think I'd ever run into issues unless something weird happened

they would also all have to be concurrent players in active parties

[stray spoke]

-# I mostly trust the getAllPlayers as its name says its purpose

[twilit sky]

{"partyId":"playerId","players":[{"name":"player.name","id":"playerId","online":true},{"name":"player.name.2","id":"playerId","online":true},{"name":"player.name.3","id":"playerId","online":true},{"name":"player.name.4","id":"playerId","online":true}]} is around 250 characters, or 500 bytes (assuming UTF-16 string encoding).

String dynamic properties have a limit of around 32Kb the last time I checked. That makes it so you can have something along the lines of 50 parties at maximum. Does that seem like something that might be hit?

[cinder shadow]

Unless something weird happens and my add-on explodes into popularity out of nowhere and gets put in a giant server with thousands of people, there's no way it's ever hitting that limit

I could alternatively build it out by having each party by a separateId and just referencing all active parties in another dynamic property by an Id

[twilit sky]

Maybe put an easter egg if someone ever does hit that limit 😆

[cinder shadow]

this would support ~12k players

I mean I can try and lock parties down to be present on the player, but last time I tried it it was a total mess

dream big right?

My add-on will be played by 60k + on a single server

[thorn flicker]

oh boy

[twilit sky]

You'd probably get a user messaging you if they ever did hit that limit. That's when I'd start to worry about it.

[cinder shadow]

I would be ecstatic if that were ever a problem

But we love future proofing for scenario's that will almost never happen

so I guess I'll try and redo this tomorrow, I only built out a create, leave, and disband command anyways

I think if per player parties doesn't work, the only other option is to just scale it up, create multiple party Id lists, and simplify the id's down to be incremental starting from 0 -> whatever

[thorn flicker]

so like, maybe make a new dynamic property for extra space each time it goes past its limit?

is that the only option?

[cinder shadow]

That's what It seems like

even that theoretically has a breaking point lol

[thorn flicker]

because of how many properties you can have

[cinder shadow]

What do I do if I my server has 10 million players on it active concurrently?!?!?

[thorn flicker]

who the hell has that many anyway?!?

lol

[cinder shadow]

I will

[thorn flicker]

oh

well shit

[cinder shadow]

I'll look into it more I guess tomorrow. If I store it on per player, it really is infinite

[thorn flicker]

how would get the offline then

[cinder shadow]

I think getPlayers does return offline?

[thorn flicker]

I mean, you could just make them leave the party when they leave

probably not a good option

[thorn flicker]

no

[cinder shadow]

I wanted to let them be able to leave and come back and be in the same party

without needing to be reinvited

This creates a whole bungle of annoying extra work imo

I have to now update the party info on every single player in the world each time

anytime I want to do anything with a party, I need to get all players in the world and then filter them based on if they have a specific property

[thorn flicker]

yeah

[cinder shadow]

If a server ever got so large where the other methods would break the runtime on something like this would be painful

at least I think it would, I don't really know 🤷‍♂️

[thorn flicker]

im not an expert here clearly, I wish you luck

[cinder shadow]

Neither am I, I just do things

[thorn flicker]

haha

same

[cinder shadow]

This would probably be a bigger issue whenever I add in guilds since that would store a lot more information

so I probably should come up with a better sorting method now that I can just paste later

[thorn flicker]

but yeah this should not return offline players

if it does, thats news to me

i cant test it rn

[cinder shadow]

I'm too lazy to make a simulated player

[thorn flicker]

because like, how would it return offline players?

they dont exist anymore when they leave

doesnt make sense

[cinder shadow]

well, now I'm curious enough hold on 😭

[thorn flicker]

lmk

[cinder shadow]

I've actually never used gametest, no clue what I'm doing

[thorn flicker]

lmao

-# thats why I said I cant

[cinder shadow]

okay, I can't make a simulated player leave the game

so this won't work lol

maybe?

and now my game crashed :]

I'm assuming I would need to use bot.disconnect();

[thorn flicker]

couldnt you just get a player to test it for you

[cinder shadow]

It would certainly be much easier lol

[thorn flicker]

i can be your tester

[cinder shadow]

I really just need to get a 2nd version of minecraft running

but that's a little tedious in itself

are you able to join preview worlds?

I think it works on same platform, just not on cross platform

[thorn flicker]

I have preview downloaded

[thorn flicker]

pc?

im on pc

[cinder shadow]

yeah

[thorn flicker]

we're good then.

[cinder shadow]

can you test now?

[thorn flicker]

mhm

we need to be friended on xbox app right?

[cinder shadow]

what's your gt

[thorn flicker]

ill dm you it

[broken pawn]

can we uae afterEvents.playerInteractWithBlock to move the interacted block into our equipmentSlot? and the following block still with it's data?

like how setEquipment

[stray spoke]

You can, but why not pick block feature

Does player interact with block still works like clicking any block, I think in the new update it's only detectable when interacting a block like chest, furnace, crafting table, anything that has interactions

[broken pawn]

i wanted to interacy with vanilla_block, this:

• Cactus
• Cake
• Hay Bale
• Jack'O Lantern

Purpose to make them moved to Head.Armor.Slot

[stray spoke]

Yes you can

[broken pawn]

nice

[jolly citrus]

is there any better way to detect if a player is sneaking than to check for the value of the isSneaking property every tick

[last latch]

Nope

There is no event to check

Not sure why you would need a different way tho

[last latch]

There is a way to check every packet sent if it’s crouching it loops trough every player

[jolly citrus]

i don't but i mean checking every tick is obviously more costly than an event listener

not like it matters much tho

im assuming the effect is negligible

anyway is this a game bug or what

[jolly citrus]

sneaking is meant to clear the velocity of enderbutt which it does

but why do i fall down so slop

slow

[last latch]

Yeah, true. I know someone had a code with like 100s of thousands of iterations per tick if not millions but yeah

[last latch]

lol first time seeing that

[jolly citrus]

it happens every time too not rng

i guess this means i was right about spamming sneak making you fall slower then

LMAO

[last latch]

Haha thanks for the tip 💀

[jolly citrus]

i feel like this is a result of the recent movement cheat prevention measures theyve been pushing out

ive had a lot of issues with movement but this is probably the most apparent if it is caused by it

[last latch]

You got server authoritive movement on? It’s pretty bugged on Linux iirc

[jolly citrus]

this is a world not a server

so i can't configure that

[last latch]

Oh.

[last latch]

Didn’t know they pushed it onto worlds

But that’s kinda good

[jolly citrus]

pretty sure it is on worlds too

even singleplayer

[last latch]

💀

I’m in so mood for coding rn bro

Gotta install mcpe on my pc asap

[worldly heath]

is there any downsides for allowing achivements in an addon ?

like does it disable triggering commands or block anything else

[snow knoll]

That's not scripting, but it doesn't do anything else

[warm mason]

no

[jolly citrus]

nvm LMAO this was caused by my scripts

[last latch]

AntiCheat?

[alpine wave]

@last latch yoo is it possible to make a hud_screen.json where I can add a button that shows on every player screen and when you press the button it opens the menu from the bp

Oh shoot wrong channel my bad

I ment to say it in Json ui general

[jolly citrus]

nah the logic for the enderbutt was just stupid

i wanted sneaking to act as like a dismount button basically which meant it cleared player velocity

but it fired multiple times so if you kept sneaking itd just repeatedly clear and clear it

is it possible to close an action/modal form for a player

[last latch]

Yes but only mobile players can touch buttons in hud

[alpine wave]

How do I make it where PC people can press it too @last latch

[next frost]

Is it possible to spawn an entity with a dye color?

for example, a red sheep?

[alpine wave]

@last latch is this a thing in scripting

EntityEquippableComponent

For import { EntityEquippableComponent } @minecraft/server;

[last latch]

yea

[alpine wave]

What about EquipmentSlot

I just trying to learn here okay @last latch so sorry if I asking too many questions

[last latch]

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

I'm sure someone has already asked this. Try searching this channel

I can't really remember the answer and I am currently on my phone, so that's the best thing I can tell you right now :/

Check documentation maybe

Are you in stable or preview?

[blissful siren]

Guys, I want to create a system that will have several codes stored within the addon itself, and if you use, for example, `?item ABCDE, it will delete the command from the chat and give you a compass only once, then this code would be set as used

[untold magnet]

2.0.0-stable, as always

[last latch]

wdym "as always" 😭

[untold magnet]

i never use beta api, bec im god damn lazy (u can see it next to my name) i just dont want to update my addon every time the api gets updated

[somber cedar]

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

[last latch]

It’s not like it’s beta 1.3.0 where 90% gets changed

Nowadays old things rarely change

[round bone]

You can use „beta” as version and it’ll auto-update in most cases

[round bone]

Older beta…

[untold magnet]

oh, thats a nice script! now remake the whole thing just bec we decided to change how it works.

[untold magnet]

also, entity.target works, its stable

im using the 2.0.0-stable, no experimental toggles, and it works.

[last latch]

havent you read what i sent?

[untold magnet]

reading is for nerds.

Is there any way to detect a chest the player interacted after the player closing it? To possibly detect what items player put in there

[stable shadow]

My friends and I managed to expand the player's inventory using serenity + json ui.

hehhehe

[jade grail]

share your secrets 🙏🏻

[jagged gazelle]

Is there a way to make that we prioritize onUseOn over onUse?

onUse is prioritize over onUseOn that's why I'm asking for solution

[stable shadow]

[sudden nest]

Is it possible to ".replace" A RawMessage?

[frosty yoke]

wdym

[sudden nest]

Like, let's say u have a lang file containing your custom item that has an additional string something like "\nSomethingFancy", then inside the script, i want to erase or remove that "\nSomethingFancy", cuz i just used it for Creative Inventory and i don't want it to be displayed when i am calling it's name.

Wait, i think my message is confusing, even I am confused

Imma send an image

i don't want to include the whole thing

i don't want to create a hardcoded names for each items just for this cause that's not maintainable if you have many items

[halcyon phoenix]

object oriented programming

[cold shoal]

Is it possible to subscribe to console logs and warns from scripting API to /connect websocket just like "PlayerMessage" event?

[round bone]

Yes, but it causes problems

[cold shoal]

Do you know what event I need to subscribe?

That's a showcase not help.

[blissful siren]

Guys im doing a system that gives a shulker box full of items

How can i do It?

I know i cant make it drop, and i need to use structure blocks

But idk how to put structure loads in scriptinf

[jolly citrus]

use a chest placed in a chunk that's always loaded

[blissful siren]

Loaded with tickingarea?

[jolly citrus]

yeah

[blissful siren]

But how would that help me?

[jolly citrus]

example of my implementation but for kits

static fetchKitItems(kitId: KitId): ItemStack[] {
    const dimId = cfg.kitChests.dimensionId as string;
    const dim = world.getDimension(dimId as any);
    const pos = this.getKitChestLocation(kitId);
    const block = dim.getBlock(pos as any);
    const container = (block as any)?.getComponent?.("inventory")?.container;
    if (!container) return [];

    const slots: number[] = ((cfg.kitChests.kitSlots as any)[kitId] as number[]) ?? [];
    const out: ItemStack[] = [];
    for (const slot of slots) {
      try {
        const it = container.getItem(slot);
        if (!it) continue;
        out.push(it.clone());
      } catch {}
    }

    return out;
  }

place the filled shulker in a chest

then load it from there

[blissful siren]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

[jolly citrus]

get the coordinates the chest is at

[blissful siren]

Makes much more sense

[jolly citrus]

and know the slot (just place it on the first slot , index 0)

then get the item from the chest's container

chest.getItem(0)

then you have the shulker stored in memory simple as that

very clean way to do it

[blissful siren]

Wowwwww so cool

[jolly citrus]

you can do whatever with it that you can with a normal itemstack in script api

[blissful siren]

My system looks a bit like the kit system

[jolly citrus]

clone, delete, edit, add to inventory etc.

[blissful siren]

The only diff is im trying to like

Create several codes and save them set to false; when they are used, they will be set to true.

[jolly citrus]

similar to gift codes?

or

like codes that you can redeem to receive a shulker

or what do you mean by a code

[blissful siren]

Like

Is a kit system

And like

I have the code blablabla-12344

[jolly citrus]

yes

[blissful siren]

When i use It i got the pvp kit

[jolly citrus]

and the code becomes unusable ?

[blissful siren]

Yes

[jolly citrus]

okay

do you want it to persist between sessions ? (e.g. world/server leave -> its still unusable)

[blissful siren]

I tried using gpt but he is so dumb i gave up and started trying looking myself in wikis

[blissful siren]

Its a BDS but probably yes

[jolly citrus]

okay you can use dynamic properties for this

do you want self-configured codes or do you want like a list of procedural, random-generated codes

i have a system similar to what you want but used for redeeming gift cards to receive gems

[blissful siren]

I was going to make random ones from websites and put them in the addon lol

[jolly citrus]

example of self-configured codes, you make your own list of codes, like using code catdog123 -> give kit #1

[jolly citrus]

yeah dont do that it's tedious

[blissful siren]

Yea

[jolly citrus]

you can use PRNG

random generation from seed

[blissful siren]

My code already has the / working, but the give part isn't working yet.

[blissful siren]

Oh cool

[jolly citrus]

but it's predictable, meaning you can generate the same random sequence again whenever

[blissful siren]

I don't think it can happen easily, there will be 50 codes per kit, and there are 6

[jolly citrus]

that's not difficult

the amount doesn't really matter

[blissful siren]

Bro is you an angel 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[jolly citrus]

the only information you need to really 'know' yourself is a static seed configured in your code

you can for example make a form that generates a valid gift code later

[blissful siren]

Okay okay

[jolly citrus]

so you can distribute them to players

example of mine

but instead of what i have like GEMS_100 GEMS_50, you could have KIT_1, KIT_2 and so on

[blissful siren]

Ohhhhh cool

[jolly citrus]

static generateCode(seed: string, table: string, index: number): string {
    const charset = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
    let state = this.hash32(`${seed}:${table}:${index}`) || 0x6d2b79f5;

    const nextU32 = () => {
      // xorshift32
      state ^= state << 13;
      state ^= state >>> 17;
      state ^= state << 5;
      return state >>> 0;
    };

    const chars: string[] = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < 16; i++) {
      const r = nextU32();
      chars.push(charset[r % charset.length]);
    }

    const groups = [chars.slice(0, 4), chars.slice(4, 8), chars.slice(8, 12), chars.slice(12, 16)].map((g) =>
      g.join("")
    );
    return groups.join("-");
  }

  private static hash32(input: string): number {
    // FNV-1a 32-bit
    let h = 0x811c9dc5;
    for (let i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
      h ^= input.charCodeAt(i);
      h = Math.imul(h, 0x01000193);
    }
    return h >>> 0;
  }

this is what i use to generate codes

[blissful siren]

Wow

[jolly citrus]

generateCode will always output the same code as long as you input the same values used to generate the state

which here are seed, table (for me this is like GEMS_100, GEMS_5) and the index

[shy leaf]

that seems like a nice way for generating random codes

[jolly citrus]

it is

[blissful siren]

Im impressed

[jolly citrus]

the key is in using predictable RNG

[shy leaf]

no use of Math.random() which can be predictable

oh wait

[jolly citrus]

the codes are meant to be predictable

the seed is meant to be kept secret

[shy leaf]

ok to be honest theres practically going to be no one whos gonna predict this just for something

so yeah ig it works

[jolly citrus]

with these values

seed = "abc123"
table = "GEMS_50"
index = 0

generateCode() might output e.g. "123" (obviously my formaat isn't the same but i cba to type it out), but if i switch any of these values (key value here is the seed since it's the only one that only the server only has authority to access), it could output "321"

the list of gift codes is predictable and that's why it works

you dont need to have them all stored individually somewhere

[jolly citrus]

predicting it requires you to know the seed and it'll be tedious to bruteforce

[shy leaf]

it is nice

[jolly citrus]

as long as they dont have additional intel that reduce the pool

[jolly citrus]

the worst are knowing the charset and length of the seed

which is why its useful to use a mix of symbols and make it long

[shy leaf]

i reckon a few coders/codebase using emojis for random stuff

like MCPE-IPC

[jolly citrus]

yeah it doesnt matter what it is as long as its not guessable

but bruteforcing a 20-char seed using any possible unicode will take astronomically long

[blissful siren]

@jolly citrus But like, how would I link the code to the main command? Would I create a codes.js file, store it there, set its values to true/false, and then import it into main.js?

[jolly citrus]

what main command

and what values to true/false

[devout sandal]

Can beforeEvents.entityRemove REALLY not check the removed entitys tag..? its a before event... wth

[snow knoll]

Are you using system.run?
In beforeEvents, nothing has actually happened and it can't run (almost) anything cause it's in read-only mode

[devout sandal]

I’ll try it out

[devout sandal]

The problem is that I’m getting an ‘entity no longer exists’ error

[snow knoll]

You could cancel the event and then kill them afterwards

[devout sandal]

Ahhhhh good idea!

[devout sandal]

Nvm.. it has no event cancel method..

[warm mason]

"Anything" is anything that changes the world, while anything that simply reads information can be run. Although, for example setDP can also be used in beforeEvents

[warm mason]

what do u need?

or did u already solve it?

[jolly citrus]

Why do i get such low fps on my world

With scripts

Theres not rlly any tps issues its just that im stuck playing on like 5 fps

[warm mason]

scripts do not affect fps at all

[jolly citrus]

Sometimes it can jump up to like 80-90 but other than that i get 5-15

[jolly citrus]

What is it then LMAO

if i remove the pack completely i get 200

[warm mason]

Well, the most it could be is because of particles that are spawned by a script or something like that

[jolly citrus]

there's no particles

i mean i do get tps drops aswell

[devout sandal]

I’m trying to make renewable deepslate by converting stone splashed by a thick potion into deepslate, I currently am getting the itemUse before event to add a tag to the player who threw the potion, getting the entity spawn after event to check if the projectile owner has the tag, removing the owners tag and applying a new tag to the projectile, and then I wanted to use beforeentityremove to get the tag and then convert the blocks at the location if the projectile had the tag, but that’s giving me an invalid entity error. I just need a good way to do this, idc how.

[snow knoll]

You make a great point
When I said anything I was referring to all the things we can do through scripting and more often than not, I've found that these methods don't tend to work when in read-only.
As for the lack of an event cancel in this scenario, it should've been something I should've assumed, given its name and definition, but I tend to assume and find out the hard way with these things 😅

[chrome gyro]

entity.playAnimation("animation.cnb_crp_sg1_l1.attack", {controller: "variable.gh=48;"})

Any ideas why this variable isn't transferring to the animation?

Feel like it's something with my formatting.

[devout sandal]

I have it working right now where I am using the projectileHitBlock hook and just checking the owners tags for a "threwThickPotion" tag, then removing it and doing the conversion. But I feel like this is not a good way to do it. I think the projectile should have the tag, because if there are multiple it might break, but you cant get the potion type from the ENTITY, so i have to get it from the owner in a before event, then apply it to the entity when its created by the owner if its of type splash potion and the owner has the tags. if anyone has any recs or suggestions id credit them with the help when i release my addon. Im so burnt out from this one stupid problemXD

[snow knoll]

Interesting
Throwing random ideas out now:
Use the projectileHitBlock event to spawn an invisible dummy entity on the block the projectile hit, transfer the tags over, and then do the detection with the dummy entity?
Then have the other dummy entity runTimeout itself into a .remove()

[jolly citrus]

Oh my GOD bruh

[devout sandal]

this is genius.. ill have to make a dummy entity but that shouldnt be too hard at this pointXD

[jolly citrus]

i left my content log file on holy shit

i have like 30gb of logs

thats why

[snow knoll]

🤣

[snow knoll]

Dummy entities are unfathomablely easy to create

They have like 5 components at most

So you're in luck

[snow knoll]

Why did you make it the name of your controller?

[chrome gyro]

Because I don't know how to read this 😂

[devout sandal]

agh dang, i have to make it into an addon then huh? Its currently just a BP.

[chrome gyro]

Form.slider(translate, 3, distlimiter, {valueStep: 1, defaultValue: oldsavefollow})

Was thinking it worked similar to a slider, but guess I was wrong.

[snow knoll]

You might
Unless not adding resource pack file for an entity makes it invisible

[snow knoll]

I can give you an explanation of what the parts do if you'd like

[chrome gyro]

If you're really trying to just keep it to a bp you could edit the armor_stand and make a component group where gravity and damage is turned off.

[chrome gyro]

Yes please, that would be awesome.

[snow knoll]

Cool

[devout sandal]

I will keep this in mind, thank you

am i not thinking of a better way to do this though? it makes sense right?

could i add an event/ component group to the splash potion that the script activates when the entity is created/removed??

[chrome gyro]

Are you able to target the potion type and name with:

world.afterEvents.entityDie
```?

You should even be able to store the location of the place where it "died".

Nope, doesn't count as dying, just tested it.

[fading sand]

player.camera.fade({
        fadeColor: { red: 1.0, green: 0.0, blue: 0.0, alpha: 0.1 },
        fadeTime: {
            fadeInTime: 1.0,   // 1 second fade in
            holdTime: 10.0,    // Hold for 10 seconds (max allowed)
            fadeOutTime: 1.0   // 1 second fade out
        }
    });

why is the alpha setting not working?

[wary edge]

fadeColor only accepts RGB.

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.4.0/interfaces/CameraFadeOptions.html

[fading sand]

ah i see

thats unfortunate

[chrome gyro]

The only other ways I can think of require more load on the system, I think that's probably one of the best.

Been thinking for the last 20 mins.

[chrome gyro]

Oh wait, this could be ANY thick splash potion, or a perticular type?

Wait, @devout sandal is the issue just that you can't get the location of the splash potion?

[chrome gyro]

Because I think I know what happened here, the location is within the event itself so you have to grab it a different way than entity.location

Am I missing something:

world.afterEvents.projectileHitBlock.subscribe((e) => {
    const { projectile, location } = e
        console.error(projectile.typeId)
        console.error(location.x)
})

[chrome gyro]

You should still be able to run the command from the script though?

[blissful siren]

@jolly citrus what the diff between the Typescript and the javascript and if i use js instead of ts the code will break?

[snow knoll]

BlendOutTime?:

• defines the amount of time taken for the last frame of the animation to transition into the entities base geometry, or into the next frame of the animation currently playing. The default value is 0
Controller?:
• defines the identifier of the animation controller. This matching an existing animation controller in the resource pack will cause it to override the controllers animations. This being a different value to another playAnimation controller will cause the 2 animations to play simultaneously. This being the same value as another playAnimation controller will stop the first animation from playing and cancel it, with animation the second playing normally, the default value is __runtime_controller
nextState?:
• defines an animation identifier or shortname (found in an entity's resource pack file) to immediately transition into playing upon the prior animation finishing or it's stopExpression being met. The default value is none
Players?:
• passes a player object defining all the players capable of seeing the animation play. The default is all players
  StopExpression?:
• a string molang expression value made up of molang queries and/or variables defined in an entity's resource pack file. When the defined conditions are met, the animation will immediately stop playing or gradually transition from for the duration of time stated in the blendOutTime to the animation in nextState. The default value is query.any_animation_finished

[blissful siren]

Someone knows?

[fading sand]

ye just no transparancy

[chrome gyro]

Oh wow, thank you for all that work! That's sad, I was hoping variables could be transferred to an animation then from script, but doesn't seem to be able to.

[snow knoll]

Yeah, scripts not being able to manipulate animations is a bit of a bummer to me too
What your doing does sound like a situation that might work with a property but I'm not fully sure

[chrome gyro]

I thought about it, but my properties are super full right now, at like 29 so trying to spare them and not sure I wanted to route all the attacks through properties either.

Oh... wait I think I could just run it from a command 🤦‍♂️ . Thank you for explaining all that though!

[snow knoll]

Absolutely no problem 👍

[chrome gyro]

It's such a tiny thing, but when the entity that's attacking get's knocked back there's a little jump they do because the entity gets thrown up. I was trying to neutralize that so the attack animation doesn't get muddled by all the jumping. Thankfully I was able to do this:

        const eloc = damagingEntity.location
        const topb = entity.dimension.getTopmostBlock(ploc)
        const gh = topb.y - ploc.y
        entity.runCommand(`playanimation @s "animation.cnb_crp_sg1_l1.attack" none 0 "variable.gh=${gh};"`);

[devout sandal]

I thought it did.. because the cause for its removal in the entityRemove hook logs as 'contact' damage.\

[devout sandal]

the issue is differentiating between what potion type it was when it died, I can get location pretty easily with any of the above mentioned hooks, but the splash potion ENTITY, type id is just "minecraft:splash_potion" and its localization key is similarly non specific, so I am having to use tag/dynamicProperties. A
nything that is an after event throws the invalidentityerror, and the only before event I could find that was relevant "entityRemove" throws it as well..

[jolly citrus]

There is no logical difference

Just rempve all the ts specific features

Type declarations annotations etc

[subtle cove]

pauseNotification.title.onePlayer=%s joined your game!

player.sendMessage({
  translate: "pauseNotification.title.onePlayer",
  with: [player.name],
})```this kind of .replace() in lang

[sudden nest]

Ahh thank you so much! Forgot that this exists

[wicked girder]

Anyone know the best way to plan/make a route for a camera cutscene?

[halcyon phoenix]

how do I check for this?

[wary edge]

entity.isValid

[halcyon phoenix]

wait it's an attribute? not a method?

thanks

I thought it's isValid()

[fickle dagger]

what's the amount limit of dynamicProperty? and does it share with other addons too?

[jagged gazelle]

Each dynamic property is stored in the world file and is linked to the specific behavior pack (via its manifest UUID) that created it. While there's no hard technical limit on how many you can create, excessive use will cause the world file size to grow significantly.

[tepid kindle]

In the manifest uuid?

[jagged gazelle]

sorry, I phrased it wrong...

[tepid kindle]

Get it, thanks

[fickle dagger]

I see, thank you for the info

[granite cape]

legacy

[broken pawn]

how do i get value of component from an item or entity?

[tepid kindle]

Why does block.above().location always on the very corner, or something wrong

[broken pawn]

i do know if it uses getComponent

[tepid kindle]

getComponent(id)

Or if dp getDynamicProperty(id)

[jagged gazelle]

check the docs for it's readable and writable properties

[jagged gazelle]

block.above() is a vector 3 already

[tepid kindle]

I tried to spawn an entity in that location but it's always on the corner of the block

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe(data=>{
  const {faceLocation,block,player,itemStack: item} = data;
  player.dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:allay",block.above().location)

Like that

I mean it did spawn, just not centered

[jagged gazelle]

block.center()?

[tepid kindle]

Centered at the top of the block

[tepid kindle]

I'll try that

Thanks

It can be like block.above().center() right

[jagged gazelle]

hmmm

[jagged gazelle]

yeh sorry for not answering why it does that, since .location is just an integer location of the block and that's in the corner since there's no decimal and the center is 0.5 0.5 0.5

[tepid kindle]

Understandable thankyou

I thought if its whole number it's automatically centered

[broken pawn]

import {EntityComponentTypes as ect} from "minecraft/server";

for(const Target of world.getAllPlayers(){
const A = Target.getComponent(ect.Health);
const B = A.currentValue;
const C = A.effectiveMax;
if(A){if(B<C){A.setCurrentValue(B+1,C)}}
})

wait

is it correct?

i mean how player.Health component works? and if player has Health_Boost effect, will it affect it's max value in the json? and how to detect if the player's health is full before make the script stops detecting it?

also saturation.component

[tepid kindle]

Oops misunderstood

[midnight ridge]

does script api supports write and read the data of this thing or not yet

[tepid kindle]

The setCurrentValue only asks 1 argument, the number/amount of hearts to be filled

[tepid kindle]

Yes the health boost affects effectiveMax

[wary edge]

It does yes.

[tepid kindle]

its by detecting if currentValue is equal to effectiveMax, idk if I'm right

[broken pawn]

maybe, may i have to check other example

[tepid kindle]

In your example, you use alias A,B,C so:

if(A === B){
  player.sendMessage("Im full health") //or something 
}

[broken pawn]

can we create a function inside a function? i hope so

[jagged gazelle]

why not?? lol

[jagged gazelle]

wait... ur shadowgamer??

[broken pawn]

understandable, and if i create it inside the function, will the other type can detect the function that is inside the function?

[jagged gazelle]

no, it's only accessible inside that scope.

[broken pawn]

nice, then i can relax now

[jagged gazelle]

you need to expose it if you want to access it outside that scope...

[broken pawn]

understandable, have a good night

[midnight ridge]

yea

[midnight ridge]

finally

[jagged gazelle]

U saw the sign and words I wrote there?

[midnight ridge]

was that u?

[jagged gazelle]

yes, that was me lol

[midnight ridge]

i was AFK then when i get back i saw it

[jagged gazelle]

I wrote something there, bruh and lol

using clay block

[midnight ridge]

[jagged gazelle]

yes lol

I also said something in chat

I guess it didn't load?

I played around there for like 20 minutes then dip

[tepid kindle]

Kodi, you might understand this

[halcyon phoenix]

how would you connect two entity each other?

example
I have Entity A that is connected to Entity B I want Entity A to always follow Entity B via applyImpulse() or teleporting to it's direction however the issue is that if there are multiple Entity A and B it's hard to have a unique identifier on where to connect it

[halcyon phoenix]

bro #off-topic

[broken pawn]

is it like how RLCraft Bedrock's Sand Worm mob?

i guess yes

[halcyon phoenix]

like worms yeah

Entity A to Z depending on the length

or duplicates

following each other

a worm system

yeah

[broken pawn]

maybe not me can answer this, i haven't understand how this thing works

[jagged gazelle]

Bruh... but yes I do

[jagged gazelle]

use entitySpawn event listener, add a unique tag in it's DP

[jolly citrus]

Are properties of Player.inputInfo easy to spoof ? should i not rely on it

[distant tulip]

how so?

[jolly citrus]

I'd like to use it to make matching touch players with other touch players, KBM players with other KBM players etc. in duels more likely

but i presume its not the hardest of tasks for a hacked client to spoof this information

[honest spear]

yea it could be spoofed but its very unlikely in theory lot of information could be just spoofed by a bots

[distant tulip]

yeah i guess you can spoof your input and device

[honest spear]

only thing you can trust is that xuid is actual xuid of the account haha

[jolly citrus]

say i do rely on inputInfo to know their input type. if i combine this with some basic heuristics (e.g. client replicates input that isn't meant to be possible on specific type), and server staff discretion would it even be close enough to being accurate for something like this or is it still likely to get cheated

idk if it's worth trying to implement it or if it'll just cause more hassle

[distant tulip]

just go for it
you wouldn't get anywhere trying to avoid spoofing
