Script API General

[remote oyster]

Nice

[stray spoke]

I used player.inputInfo.getMovementVector()

[remote oyster]

Didn't know about that

[stray spoke]

But yeah yours worked too

[remote oyster]

Whichever is more efficient go with that.

I always side with performance lol.

[warm rose]

test

[crude glacier]

How 5o make my item detectable using itemUseOnBlock event ?

[safe stream]

is there a way to check the the stack size of an item without using try catch?

[wary edge]

Why would you need a try catch?

Just do ItemStack.amount

[safe stream]

Simulate if an item stack size is 1 (like weapons, armours etc) or 16 or 64 and listen to whether there was a fail or not and from there determine what size it is

[safe stream]

But I need the max stack size

[winged drift]

ItemStack.maxAmount should work

[safe stream]

thank you

didnt know that was a thing

[crude glacier]

Guys is it possible to check when interaction with entity ends ?

Like when i open an entity Inventory then close it

I want to check when i close it

[wary edge]

There is an event for that.

[crude glacier]

What is called?

[cyan basin]

World Structure Manager can't read from the STRUCTURES folder in the Behavior Pack!?

[warm mason]

yes, for now

[wary edge]

I believe the previews gave a way to.

[cyan basin]

Bruh, but if I use runCommand wouldn't it just work anyway?

[wary edge]

    /**

    getWorldStructureIds(): string[];

[cyan basin]

Okay.

[crude glacier]

What is it called

[distant tulip]

EntityContainerOpenedAfterEvent

[crude glacier]

Hmm is it beta

[distant tulip]

it is preview beta

[crude glacier]

🫪

Sad

Will it be stable in the next version?

[crude glacier]

Can it check when interaction ends ?

[distant tulip]

EntityContainerClosedAfterEvent

[distant tulip]

no

everything so far moved to stable beta before releasing, if i am not wrong

[crude glacier]

Oh, what about interactionEnds

[distant tulip]

what does that mean

[cyan basin]

Unfortunately, it's unable to get the namespace of the structure that was saved to the pack. This kind of sucks, I guess I'll just have to make sure it's included in the name when saving it.

It just seems to always default to mystructure even if changed.

[random flint]

it dependant on the folder name where you put the mcstructure iirc

[cyan basin]

So why pass in a namespace when saving!? That's a bit confusing if it's based on the folder when it comes to that.

Well thanks for letting me know and I'll give that a try.

[warm mason]

well, it matters when u save it in world

[distant tulip]

the folder is for compatibility

[chrome flint]

is it possible to set armor stand pose using scripts api?
or atleast get the armorstand's pose index via scripts

[grim raft]

for some reason the "hasTag" doesnt work even for vanilla items

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((event) => {
  const { source, itemStack } = event

  if (!source) return
  if (itemStack.hasTag === 'rust:semi_auto') {
    console.error('pew')
  }
})```

it works with typeId tho

[open urchin]

hasTag is a method
hasTag("my:tag")

[grim raft]

ohh

well that explains a lot

even checked the docs and didnt see it 😭

im lwk stupid

[neat hazel]

How can I detect if a player has mined a block using a tool with a custom component ("custom:component")?

[thorn flicker]

give the custom component the onMineBlock event.

[neat hazel]

How?

[cold grove]

There should be a bot that replaces the docs urls with a descriptive embed

[thorn flicker]

item.

[cold grove]

Like fixtweet

[cold grove]

Sorry

[thorn flicker]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/item-events

[neat hazel]

Thanks, I'll take a look

[wary edge]

Huh...if you get current entity health in before entity hurt it returns the health after the damage is applied.

[olive sphinx]

So I noticed that with Dynamic Properties, you can get the Total Byte Count. I am just wondering, is the a max on how much you can use?

[shy leaf]

wait, you mean returns the health after the damage is applied? or it returns health value that an entity would have if they took damage?

[wary edge]

The Latter.

Wait arent those two the exact same.

[cold grove]

No, just 32,767bytes per string

[shy leaf]

i was confused by what you said and thought it was being delayed

lol

although that can be somehow useful

[wary edge]

Entity: 20 HP
Sword: 8 DMG
EntityHurtBeforeEvent:
Entity HP: 12 DMG
Event ends.

It could just be my getHealth being wonky and executing after the tick?

[shy leaf]

could be, try getting the new comp inside the event

[cold grove]

Sounds more like the way they handle components/expose entity attributes

[shy leaf]

if its true, we would be able to tell that they basically duct taped and hotwired this event 😭

[cold grove]

That wouldn't leave to the callback to run on the next tick?

[shy leaf]

well scripting usually dont do that unless otherwise specified (like Entity.triggerEvent)

[stray spoke]

I made a double jump by timing it if its under 10 ticks, and limit its repetition so it wouldn't spam. However, it seems low performance, it uses interval, do y'all know what to change here

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

const cache = new Map();

world.afterEvents.playerButtonInput.subscribe(
  ({ player }) => {
    doubleJump(player);
  },
  {
    buttons: [InputButton.Jump],
    state: ButtonState.Pressed
  }
);

const counter = new Map();
const repeats = new Map();

function doubleJump(player) {
  if (!counter.has(player.id)) {
    counter.set(player.id, {
      tick: 0,
      count: 0
    });
  }

  const savedJump = () => counter.get(player.id);
  const setJumpCount = (c) =>
    counter.set(player.id, { tick: system.currentTick, count: c });
  const tick = system.currentTick;

  if (tick - savedJump().tick >= 10) {
    setJumpCount(1);
  } else {
    setJumpCount(savedJump().count + 1);
    if (savedJump().count >= 2) {
      setJumpCount(0);
      applyImpulse(player);
    }
  }
}

function applyImpulse(player) {
  repeats.set(player.id, repeats.get(player.id) - 1);

  if (repeats.get(player.id) <= 0) return;
  player.applyImpulse({ x: 0, y: 0.7, z: 0 });
}

system.runInterval(() => {
  for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
    if (player.isOnGround) {
      repeats.set(player.id, 2);
    }
  }
});

[knotty plaza]

Just save the tick that the player jumped at, then when checking the difference, you can do it like this

if (system.currentTick - oldTick > 10) return;

[rough elm]

67

[rough elm]

67777

[random flint]

Back then, when 69 and 360 was a brainrot meme numbers, they had something correlated to them. 67 is an overused random number, without much context. Annoying and cheap.

[rough elm]

67

@random flint

67

Om top

On*

[random flint]

Please move to #off-topic if you want to spam ts. This one is for ScriptAPI discussion, not whatever childish Gen Alpha brainrot you're sending

[stray spoke]

You're unfunny

67 is meaningless

69 on top

[rough elm]

I know

[stray spoke]

I don't know how can I use this, doesn't this stay the last count

[knotty plaza]

Use a Map to store it on the player's id

[remote oyster]

When looping through players I highly suggest using runJob() to account for large player base and long tasks, and use runInterval to recall the job while monitoring to ensure there is no overlaps. It's extremely more performant this way.

[remote oyster]

Its updated to implement the logic I mentioned above. Modified so I could test it in my own project. Confirmed working. Can compare the results in the debugger for vscode to see how it performs if curious.

[stray spoke]

You did a lot tbh, genuinely thanks a lot

All I needed only is to import it, very convenient

[remote oyster]

I was drinking coffee and working on some code on my end when I stumbled across your post. So it wasn't a problem for me. I was in the zone and focused lol.

[stray spoke]

Lol I had that same caffeine boost too

[zinc breach]

is there a way to cancel attack cooldowns? so using a spears lunge for example

[sharp elbow]

I noticed this too. Just add the health's currentValue to the event parameter's damage to get the original health value.

It's an odd choice but thankfully it is easy to reverse

[wary edge]

I originally had current HP - damage to see if it would kill the entity so I was quite confused why it kept saying I would one shot my entity.

[sharp elbow]

Haha

I was making a "health changed" event I could subscribe to, which emitted when the entity took damage or was healed, and that's where I noticed the value being wrong

Even more fun—altering the damage property then moving outside the read-only context will update the value that currentValue returns

[wary edge]

Interesting.

[sage portal]

I feel like this is something the docs should have elaborated on, because what

[crude glacier]

What?

[deep arrow]

how can i make splash particles like when a player jumps in water

[covert goblet]

Hey folks, this might be a silly question but i'm using the world.scoreboard and getting the player.scoreboardIdentity; is there a way to set this in code?? or do i have to run it in game before hand??

[crude glacier]

Hey folks , this might be a silly question but i'm using playerBreakBlock afterEvents to check whenever the player destroys multi-blocks block, but the problem is it doesn't break consistently, like it breaks the block i broke first then it breaks the rest of the blocks , which make inconsistent breaking effect

[cold grove]

What do you mean?

[granite cape]

hey

[nova flame]

im using BDS for my server is there a way i can do like my own custom in game command that i run in the server console? i wanna be able to ban players without having to use the discord bot OR joining the game please help

[stray spoke]

I wanna ask if do we can edit player permissions

Like disabling pvp to a specific player

[crude glacier]

entityHitEntity before events cancel

[stray spoke]

Wait, idk if that'll work

That's too simple to work, but Iemme try

[crude glacier]

Ir depends on the thing you are trying to do

If you want to disable buildings , open chests etc....

[stray spoke]

There's no entityHitEntity before event

[wary edge]

There is entityHurt if that helps?

[stray spoke]

There's also no beforeEvent for entityHurt to cancel it

But thanks y'all

[wary edge]

There is.

[crude glacier]

There is

[stray spoke]

Oh

[wary edge]

You should clarify if you're using not beta APIs.

[crude glacier]

Maybe you didn't update your npm package

[stray spoke]

I can't find in ts definition

Yeah maybe

[wary edge]

Therefore I will assume you're not using Beta APIs?

[crude glacier]

npm i @minecraft/server

[stray spoke]

Yes I'm on stable

[crude glacier]

In terminal

[stray spoke]

I'll try to redownload npm

[wary edge]

EntityHurt is Beta APIs.

[stray spoke]

My package json says 2.5.0

[wary edge]

So you're not using Beta APIs.

[stray spoke]

Okay found EntityHurtBeforeEvent now, I'm now 2.6.0

[stray spoke]

Sorry idk what you mean, 2.6.0 stable has EntityHurt also

[wary edge]

Ah, the docs I'm using are wrong as well!

[stray spoke]

lol

Thanks again, ill test for a bit

[stray spoke]

This is great, I can cancel and customize damage, probably gonna use for attributes addon or team damage

[zinc breach]

?

what I mean by this is maybe some sort of beforeEvent?

like itemUse or entityHurt

idk what I would use for the spear

[thorn flicker]

you can edit the spear file.

[zinc breach]

I thought you couldn't edit item jsons?

[thorn flicker]

some items you can, not all.

[shy leaf]

spears are data driven, surprisingly

but uh, you can just constantly reset item cooldown of spears

[zinc breach]

through script API?

[shy leaf]

yeah

[zinc breach]

I don't think theres a way to do that

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

you can start the cooldown

but I don't see a way to end it

[shy leaf]

you can also set the cooldown

so in this case, zero em

give me a second

[zinc breach]

this?

[shy leaf]

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

[zinc breach]

oh nice

so would that override the active cooldown

like say the cooldown already starts and I use this with like 1 tick

[shy leaf]

yeag

[zinc breach]

alr great

thanks

[blissful siren]

Guys what is the newest version of minecraft/server ?

[lyric kestrel]

2.6.0

[blissful siren]

Oh thx

[trail marten]

i need to reconfirm, does Player.id is really consistent (Entity.id to be exact), even if the name of the player changes or even if the player left the server?

i just returned and i have to put system.run all across my functions because early execution context 😭

[blissful siren]

Guys im trying to update an addon but i got this error:

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined at <anonymous> (rbymod.js:17)

[round bone]

Only across the same world.

[amber berry]

player.id is same between all worlds i think

nope they are not

[round bone]

No, they aren't. Only PFID and XUID are

[honest spear]

for an localhost i might be the same evertime, but thats only bc is the first creted entity afaik

[round bone]

Yes, but it's not good to use across many worlds anyway

[honest spear]

[round bone]

Bun's still better

[honest spear]

nah its buggy asf

i used to use it

but damn its not there yet

[round bone]

I've been using it for a longer time and I didn't really encounter edge cases

[honest spear]

yea i wanted to port big project to bun directly but damn it was sometimes broken

[round bone]

I didn't have any struggles with porting mine projects lol

Docker, packages, everything worked even better

[honest spear]

i haved problem with canceling scripts runned via bun run

it just broke whole terminal

[round bone]

Wdym canceling? While running them?

[honest spear]

ctrl c

[round bone]

What did you run? I don't have any problems with it

[honest spear]

it was nested propably like bun run bun run something

[cinder shadow]

Have you always been able to dupe items that have their durability handled through scripting?

Guess I need to add validation checks

[wary edge]

Dupe how?

[cinder shadow]

I swapped to a different item slot at the exact same tick and it deleted that item and replaced it with a copy

completely unintentionally

happened during a playtest and my shovel vanished and was replaced with a 2nd pickaxe

[wary edge]

Yeah, it sucks we have to set the item back into the slot of the inventory to update anything.

[rough pecan]

fr

[cinder shadow]

Doesn't look too bad to fix, but it's still dumb.

Just need to use the inventory .find to find the exact copy I'm looking for

oh wait that won't work either lmao

I actually can't even recreate it

[subtle cove]

Imagine firing a rail gun then swap while firing

Perhaps drop the gun too

[sharp elbow]

Are you using EntityEquippableComponent? "Mainhand" container slots will change indices depending on when it is queried

[cinder shadow]

guess it does go off every now and then

[wary edge]

I'm not entirely sure why we have to set Items back into the inventory though. Blocks and Items dont have to.

[sharp elbow]

I recommend using the EntityInventoryComponent and storing the slot index, or to store the ContainerSlot and write back to it

[cinder shadow]

This is using the inventory component

[subtle cove]

Make the slot a variable

[cinder shadow]

make every item have a dynamic property of it's slot 😔

[open urchin]

item stacks are equivalent to block permutations
container slots are equivalent to blocks

[cinder shadow]

I feel like the only perfect solution here is giving every item in the hotbar a dynamic property for it's slot lol

alternatively I can still use the selectedSlotIndex, and if the items don't match I do .find as a fallback

but if the player ends up having a copy of that item in an earlier slot that one loses durability instead

[knotty plaza]

I guess because we also have getSlot() instead of getItem();

[wary edge]

I hate how you're right.

I never htought to see it like that.

[cinder shadow]

actually inventoryItemChanged might not be a good idea... has the same issue because now every time an item changes slots I now need to place that item back in that same slot after adding the dynamic property

[subtle cove]

Reminds me of the inventory link addon

[cinder shadow]

const slotToReplace = inventory.getItem(entity.selectedSlotIndex).typeId === itemStack.typeId ? entity.selectedSlotIndex : inventory.find(itemStack);```

no way this is the ideal solution

[shy leaf]

i uh, have a durability code but ive never had the duplication problem

[cinder shadow]

I've never either, I can't even replicate it even when it detects a different slot

[shy leaf]

or this kind of problem as whole, to be exact

[subtle cove]

Wana try transferItem in runJob 👀

[sharp elbow]

Are you synchronously reading and writing to the same slot in the same tick/function?

[cinder shadow]

I really don't think I accidentally made two iron pickaxes and got them both to the same durability while mining and forgot to make an iron shovel

export function reduceDurability(entity, itemStack, damageAmount) {
    const durability = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:durability");
    const inventory = entity.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
    const unbreakingEnchantmentLevel = itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:enchantable").getEnchantment("unbreaking")?.level;
    const slotToReplace = inventory.getItem(entity.selectedSlotIndex).typeId === itemStack.typeId ? entity.selectedSlotIndex : inventory.find(itemStack);
    if(!shouldDamageItem(unbreakingEnchantmentLevel)) return;
    if(durability.damage + damageAmount >= durability.maxDurability) return (inventory.setItem(slotToReplace, undefined), entity.playSound('random.break'))
    return (itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:durability").damage += damageAmount, inventory.setItem(slotToReplace, itemStack));
}```

should be in the same tick

[sharp elbow]

And you are invoking this with an ItemStack you acquired in that same tick? e.g.

() => {
  const player = /* ... */
  const inventory = player.getComponent("inventory").container;
  const item = inventory.getItem(player.selectedSlotIndex);
  reduceDurability(player, item, 1);
}

[cinder shadow]

itemRegistry.registerCustomComponent('runecraft:sword', {
        onMineBlock: (eventData) => {
            if (!isInstantMineableBlock(eventData.minedBlockPermutation.type.id)) {
                reduceDurability(eventData.source, eventData.itemStack, 2);
            }
        },
        onBeforeDurabilityDamage: (eventData) => {
            if (shouldDamageItem(eventData.itemStack.getComponent("minecraft:enchantable").getEnchantment("unbreaking")?.level)) return eventData.durabilityDamage = 1;
            eventData.durabilityDamage = 0;
        }
    })```

[sharp elbow]

Mm, I see.

[shy leaf]

oh custom components

i only have good experience with events so ill just silently slip outta here...

[subtle cove]

Why 2 durab updates tho

[wary edge]

onBeforeDurabilityDamage only triggers when you hit an entity to my knowledge.

That's the only time the engine decrements the durability automatically for you.

[subtle cove]

Oof

[wary edge]

It doesn't trigger for armour taking damage last I tested as well.

[shy leaf]

that sounds chaotic

[cinder shadow]

well I guess this solution works as well as possible, this at least prevents the possibility of someone's item getting straight up deleted and cloned

I'm fine if the 1 in a million chance occurs where it reduces the durability of a separate item

[shut citrus]

how to create custom js modules?

[cold grove]

You can import from other files

import { MyClass, myFunction } from './modules/myModule'

[shut citrus]

oh, I mean creating and importing custom npm modules

[cold grove]

I guess you can the same way you can use @minecraft/math
If you go to "Core build tasks" it says it works in other repositories https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/scripting/libraries?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable#core-build-tasks

[north rapids]

Is there a way to detect when a chunk is generated?

[random flint]

Generated for the first time? Directly, no. But...

You can check if certain chunk is loaded by Dimension.isChunkLoaded(Vector3). And since chunk is just 16x16, you can put a metadata (like a timestamp) on that chunk via world dynamic property.
If it doesn't have one, it's newly generated, else, it had been generated in the past.

[lyric kestrel]

I'm trying to set my multiblock with updated states but it keeps breaking no matter what

block.setPermutation(
 BlockPermutation.resolve(
  block.typeId,
  {
    "minecraft:cardinal_direction": cardinalDirection,
    "foundry:lava_level": newLavaLevel,
    // Tried with and without setting multi_block_part: 0
  },
 )
);```

It sets the states, but it breaks afterwards giving me 2 of the blocks

[wary edge]

You need to set it on every part if I recall.

[lyric kestrel]

Ah

Yep, that worked

Damn, that's kinda a bummer, but makes sense

[tidal wasp]

How would you get put permanent text on a players screen whenever they are holding a specific item

[ripe shale]

Somebody talk spanish

How i paste a Code block?

This happen when i try:

function getDamageSourceEntity(damageSource) { const damagingEntity = damageSource?.damagingEntity ?? null; if (isValidEntity(damagingEntity)) return damagingEntity;

const damagingProjectile = damageSource?.damagingProjectile ?? null; if (!isValidEntity(damagingProjectile)) return null;

const projectileSource = damagingProjectile?.source ?? null; if (isValidEntity(projectileSource)) return projectileSource;

return null; }

[night oracle]

```js

Put code here

@ripe shale

Or copy this message:

Put code here

[cold grove]

```js

[ripe shale]

Thanks!

[stray spoke]

I wanna ask how do we exactly copy paste a block, like all states or data in its Block class are copied

[knotty plaza]

Idk about the data, but you can change just 1 state by doing

const { permutation } = block;
block.setPermutation(permutation.withState('namespace:something', true));

[shy leaf]

json ui?

sounds (relatively) simple

[tidal wasp]

No like something above their hotbar

[shy leaf]

oh the item text that appears when you select an item

...or actionbar

[ripe shale]

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

function copyBlockState(source: any, target: any) {
  if (!source || !target) return;

  // Copies type + block states
  target.setPermutation(source.permutation);
}

// Explicit rebuild form:
function copyBlockStateExplicit(source: any, target: any) {
  if (!source || !target) return;

  const states = source.permutation.getAllStates();
  const perm = BlockPermutation.resolve(source.typeId, states);
  target.setPermutation(perm);
}

That still does not copy everything a block may store. Block inventory is exposed through a separate minecraft:inventory component, and signs have their own BlockSignComponent methods for text, dye color, and wax state. Those pieces have to be copied separately if you want an exact clone of a chest, sign, or similar block

Permutation → block type and states.
Components → extra data like chest contents or sign text

[ripe shale]

Please help! How can I make a welcome UI open for the player? I've tried, but in most cases the player isn't accessible at that moment. My idea is that the UI (preferably ModalFormData) appears as soon as the player's screen loads. I would greatly appreciate a working example. Thanks!

[stray spoke]

Thanks yall

[ripe shale]

Did the code work for you?

[stray spoke]

What I commonly do is set a hardcoded state, but I want it to copy state instead, a block could possibly have more than 1 state and data, like redstone power, or other props

yeah that works

[ripe shale]

Okay, it was a pleasure helping you. Now I need help, lol. I need to create a welcome UI that opens right when the player spawns, but in most cases the player is inaccessible.

[stray spoke]

Maybe use world.afterEvents.playerSpawn where you first detect if its data.initialSpawn before showing the form

But if that exactly what you did, maybe try to add system.timeout delay or add a loop like 'while(cancelReason)'

the ActionFormData/ModalFormData can return cancel reasons, like if user is busy or not loaded

[ripe shale]

I did that, but it's still inaccessible. I even tried adding a delay to the action to test the UI, and it opened, but it's a weakness to depend on the load of each device.

[ripe shale]

Great idea, I'll try it, thanks

[stray spoke]

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

it may returns 'canceled' and 'cancelationReason', you might try repeatingly call the form until it doesn't return true for the specific cancel reason

Its from ActionFormResponse

[ripe shale]

Bro, I love you, thank you!! It finally works, I've been trying to fix it all day.

[shy leaf]

i dont like how setting unbreakable doesnt account for setting durability damage

suffering from success

[thorn flicker]

i thought that property would be so the item doesnt break when the damage is greater than max durability, that you can define in the component, disappointed when that wasnt the case lol

[shy leaf]

and i thought the durability would just freeze entirely

but no, setting durability still changes it, so if you have a custom durability function prior to unbreakable component it wont work

[woven loom]

Entity.getAABB() in which version was released?

[warm mason]

2.5.0 iirc

[woven loom]

Oh thx 👍

[thorn flicker]

just checked, 2.4.0

[woven loom]

how did you check

most useful thing ever

[lyric kestrel]

Huh, I think you're using an outdated npm 😅

EquipmentSlot is now Stable

[warm mason]

it's not outdated

EquipmentSlot.Body is in beta

[lyric kestrel]

Oh, I never even saw Body lmao

[warm mason]

the thing is that it's for mobs

but equippable doesn't work for mobs

[lyric kestrel]

Oh, I see it in attachpoint only

Wait, am I outdated then? 😔

[warm mason]

idk

Im using 2.8.0-beta

[median geyser]

It's probably getting added again in Preview?

is it possible to make the projectile i am spawning right in front of the player head damages everything but the player? i am summoning the projectile entity using scripts so idrk how to connect it to the player (owner stuff)

[shy leaf]

projectile component should have owner property that can be written

[untold magnet]

currently i got the whole code working, the projectile is moving towards without issues besides damaging the player in the process

[shy leaf]

takes Entity

[untold magnet]

how can i use that while summoning it using scripts?

[shy leaf]

uh, youre using shoot method, right?

[warm mason]

show code

[untold magnet]

yeah

[warm mason]

js code

[shy leaf]

then spawn the projectile entity, touch the projectile components, and then shoot it

[untold magnet]

world.afterEvents.playerSwingStart.subscribe(({player, heldItemStack:itemStack, swingSource:source}) => {
    if (source === 'Attack') {
        const Molang = new MolangVariableMap();

        const dim = player?.dimension;
        const {x:hX, y: hY, z:hZ} = player?.getHeadLocation();
        const {x:dX, y: dY, z:dZ} = player?.getViewDirection();

        Molang.setSpeedAndDirection('xfallenwarriors', 0, {x:dX, y:dY, z:dZ});

        if (itemStack?.typeId === 'xfallenwarriors:ancient.sword.v0') {
            system.runTimeout(() => {
                const proj = dim?.spawnEntity('xfallenwarriors:ancient.sword.slash.attack', {x:hX, y: hY, z:hZ});

                proj?.getComponent('minecraft:projectile').shoot({x:dX * 2, y:dY * 2, z:dZ * 2});
                dim?.spawnParticle('xfallenwarriors:ancient_sword_attack_slash_particle', {x:hX, y:hY, z:hZ}, Molang);
            }, 2);
        };
    };
});;```

[shy leaf]

erm

why setRotation? i mean

[warm mason]

add view direction to head location

[untold magnet]

forgot to remove it lol

[shy leaf]

i see

[shy leaf]

its a whatever anyway, but yeah also do that

[untold magnet]

i was trying to use the projectile model, but i couldnt get it to look like the slash particles

[shy leaf]

im sure setting owner prevents being shot by your own projectile, but youre using timeout in this case so i cant confirm it

if thats what you tried

[untold magnet]

like const proj = dim?.spawnEntity('xfallenwarriors:ancient.sword.slash.attack', {x:hX + dX, y: hY + dY, z:hZ + dZ});?

[warm mason]

yeah

[shy leaf]

but either way, just do

proj?.getComponent('minecraft:projectile').owner = player;

for the owner

[untold magnet]

alright, ill give it a 'shoot'

[warm mason]

so it will be spawned in front of the player and not in his head

[untold magnet]

the 'owner' one should work the best here, to make the projectile make other mobs targets the player when they get hit by it, in aLOT of the marketplace addons, they add new weaopons/projectiles that wont make other mobs like irongolem targets the player when get hit by the new projectile

[warm mason]

I know, I always add owner when I use projectile component

[untold magnet]

the projectile no longer hurts the player, but it doesnt agro the iron golem or other mobs

[shy leaf]

uh, it should aggro...?

[untold magnet]

proj.getComponent('minecraft:projectile').owner = player;

[shy leaf]

check damagingEntity in entityHurt, this doesnt seem right

[untold magnet]

[untold magnet]

it shows the projectile id not player id

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((e) => {
    console.warn(
        e.hurtEntity?.typeId,
        e.damageSource.damagingProjectile.typeId,
        e.damageSource.damagingEntity.typeId
    )
})```

returns iron golem, projectile id, projectile id

[shy leaf]

what in the

[shy leaf]

try it with arrow

[untold magnet]

it works there

something is wrong in the projectile.json

mhm

[untold magnet]

apparently having the runtimeId set to snowball doesnt make ur projectile have an owner,

[shy leaf]

but

[untold magnet]

changed it to arrow, now it works

[shy leaf]

it works for snowball though????

...does it actually not work for snowball

[wary edge]

Runtime ids 👎

[untold magnet]

yeah, it doesnt work for the snowball runtimeId,

[shy leaf]

sob

mojank

[distant tulip]

it works for arrows and not snowballs?

[shy leaf]

according to them

[distant tulip]

snowball itself work fine

[shy leaf]

balls

its really janky

[distant tulip]

what....
dimension travel trigger item stop use??

[warm mason]

bruh

[wary edge]

When you're standing still.

[crude glacier]

What is AABB() ?

[warm mason]

entity collision box

[crude glacier]

Oh

[fallen cape]

Axis aligned bounding box

[crude glacier]

So a fancy way to say collision box ?

[fallen cape]

uhh basically yea

[sharp elbow]

The more precise term for its collision box. Also the way it is defined is more general, and it is defined differently from the "minecraft:collision_box" component.

[weary umbra]

why does debugText.depthTest = true not hide the debugText behinde a block?

[ripe shale]

Hello, I wanted to ask if you could help me. I need an example of two commands that are executed when closing and opening the form, and it must be able to handle whether or not the player is in the Overworld.

[stray spoke]

Wild encounter system, but no pokemons yet

[midnight ridge]

how did you make this camera transaction effect?

[stray spoke]

Im using camera class from player class

The fade method makes it fade black

While setFov makes the zoom effect with easing type

[dreamy elbow]

yo is .setRotation() broken. It'll let me set the x rotation but not the y rotation

[random tartan]

did anyone know for what reasons an items is considered experimental. ( meaning, why in the item's .json file, in the description afield called 'is_experimental' set to true, for what reasons??? )

[frank grove]

i have the same issue. The render distance doesnt work as well

[open urchin]

The is_experimental parameter does nothing
Its functionality was removed when experimental gameplay was split into separate toggles

[amber berry]

using setPov will be weird no? cause people play on diffrent pov so using a set pov will make it look diffrent for all players

[midnight ridge]

setFov ? so thats new emm

[wary edge]

How?

They're setting both the POV and FOV and then clearing it. What the user has has not affect.

[amber berry]

I ment fov not pov sorry, I ment if you set fov to 80 at first, for player at 60 fov it will fell like zooming out and for people with 110 fov it will fell like zooming in right ?

When I was messing with fov i though there would be some like getFov then I can +- from that, but there aint

[bold stratus]

Is there way to make script write json(save data)

[shy leaf]

very no

best you can do is to make a database

[lyric kestrel]

How many entries can a hashmap have before it loses it's O(1) functionality?

Or will it always be O(1) as long as it's below it's 16million limit?

[wary edge]

That seems like a good stackoverflow question.

[nova flame]

ong

[lyric kestrel]

Ok yes, O(1) depends on size of Map for the retrievel but only until ~1,000,000 entries or so in a database)

But for my size of ~600 entries it should be O(1)

[remote oyster]

As long as you manage for potential collisions, which can happen as it grows, then it will remain O(1).

It can go as high as in the billions and remain O(1).

So long as you don't have collisions.

[lyric kestrel]

How can I avoid collisions?

Or is that based on the memory allocation?

[remote oyster]

Simple Hash Map Example (with collision)

class SimpleHashMap {
  constructor(size = 5) {
    this.buckets = new Array(size).fill(null).map(() => []);
  }

  // Simple hash function (intentionally causes collisions)
  hash(key) {
    return key.length % this.buckets.length;
  }

  set(key, value) {
    const index = this.hash(key);
    const bucket = this.buckets[index];

    for (let pair of bucket) {
      if (pair[0] === key) {
        pair[1] = value;
        return;
      }
    }

    bucket.push([key, value]);
  }

  get(key) {
    const index = this.hash(key);
    const bucket = this.buckets[index];

    for (let pair of bucket) {
      if (pair[0] === key) {
        return pair[1];
      }
    }

    return undefined;
  }
}

// Demo
const map = new SimpleHashMap();

map.set("apple", 1);
map.set("grape", 2);

console.log(map.buckets);

A collision occurs when two distinct keys are assigned to the same bucket in a hash table.

Using the hash function key.length % 5:

"apple" → index 0
"grape" → index 0

Even though the keys are different, they produce the same index. Because of this, both values are stored in the same bucket, and the hash map must handle the collision by storing multiple [key, value] pairs in that bucket. Another note to add, JavaScript is technically designed to handle collisions under the hood, such as when using Maps, but that depends on the engine, so I am not 100% certain if this rule applies to our environment since I know Mojang does make some modifications to serve their purposes. Testing would confirm for sure.

[lyric kestrel]

Oh I see

Ok yeah, then I don't think I will ever get a collision if that's the case

[remote oyster]

Most likely not. Kinda like a UUID. Chances of a collision is extremely low.

As long as your code is written properly

[tidal wasp]

Is setPermuatation and SetType just kinda of redundant

Like SetPermuatation can be used outside of system.run as well as doing what setType can do and more

[wary edge]

SetPermutation is for specific permutation while type is for BlockType.

Some events only gives you BlockPermuation others gives you Type.

[tidal wasp]

Huh

Which events are those?

[wary edge]

Permutation to place.

[tidal wasp]

I know that

What only gives type

[wary edge]

CustomCommandParamType

[tidal wasp]

Huh

[deep arrow]

can i get an entities mainhand itemstack?

[shut citrus]

there is no entityHitEntity before event, how to get entity hit and target entity to cancel damage, knockback and other side effects?

[shy leaf]

entityHurt beforeEvents is the only way to do this atm

but side effects are kinda inevitable

[shut citrus]

any code examples?

[shy leaf]

world.beforeEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((ev) => {
    const { damageSource, hurtEntity } = ev;
    const damagingEntity = damageSource?.damagingEntity;

    if (!damagingEntity || !hurtEntity?.isValid) return;

    if (isTeam(damagingEntity, hurtEntity)) {
        ev.cancel = true;
        return;
    }
});

taken from my code

[shut citrus]

does it prevent knockback?

[shy leaf]

yes

but not mob effects or fire aspect

other effects like trident channeling are untested, you gotta check it

[shut citrus]

ok thanks

[untold magnet]

interface EntityContainerAccessEventOptions what is it used for?

[crude glacier]

I guess for entity open and close inventory after before events

Perhaps

[stray spoke]

We can only setFov in a range of only 30 to 100, might be weird but it's not extreme

[stray spoke]

Yeah Player.camera.setFov(number, options)

[amber berry]

30 to 110 i think

[stray spoke]

ohh

[keen dust]

How can I have more then 1 File for Scripting? So in the manifest, i Register a Link To a JS File. And I want To have more Files for different features

[stray spoke]

You can only use one root file in manifest, I guess. But you can make your root file connect with other files

[keen dust]

How I can do this?

[stray spoke]

simply do

import "./myEvent1.js" 
import "./myEvent2.js" 

[keen dust]

And do I need for example in the other File Some Special Things?

For example in ./myEvent1 oder ./myEvent2 ?

[stray spoke]

No, the main file just imports the whole script environment from the other file so it acts like all files as one file

Also change the myEvent1.js to something else, it should be the path of your js file

[keen dust]

Ok, thank you < 3

So I only need the import and No Export or Something else

In the other Script, right?

[stray spoke]

No need

[keen dust]

Thanks

[distant tulip]

you only need something in the other file if you are importing a function or something from it
like import {doSomething} from "./path/to/file.js"

[keen dust]

But Like commands I dont need this

Or Events or Something else

[untold magnet]

        const inv = player?.getComponent('minecraft:inventory').container;
        console.warn(inv?.find('my:item'))```returns a log
```js
[Scripting][error]-TypeError: Native type conversion failed. Function argument [0] expected type: ItemStack    at <anonymous> (xFallenWarriors.js:62)```

i do have that 'my:item' in my inventory

[distant tulip]

it is expecting ItemStack, not id

[untold magnet]

i see, hmm

[untold magnet]

so i cant just use it to find my specific item, i have to use a loop to search for it ig

[distant tulip]

only if the amount matter to the function

[untold magnet]

can i find a specific item in my inventory and trigger its cooldown? only one item is enough here, no need to trigger it multiple times

[distant tulip]

afaik, no

can't trigger the coodown

[untold magnet]

alright then, fuck the whole bug i am currently having

[random flint]

You can start item cooldown with player.startItemCooldown(category, ticks)
-# You can't individually set a unique cooldown on each item tho

[steel jungle]

Aí tem alguém Br?🫪

[untold magnet]

ill use that for something else, the current bug i am having is not from my script, rather from the client side so i thought about starting the cooldown to prevent those bugs from happening

theyre just some visual bugs in my attachables, when u move ur hand without holding my sword, and then u switch back to that sword, the attack animation will play which can cause some visual bugs if u instantly attack with the item

hmm,

[random flint]

even with v.attack_time?
-# c.owning_entity -> v.attack_time

[sharp elbow]

That is precisely the issue. v.attack_time returns 0–1 in the range of the player's hand swing animation—and that plays when attacking, but the player may have already began swinging before switching to the item in question

[untold magnet]

yeah, swinging the arm before switching to the item cause the attack animation to be played

[sharp elbow]

Best thing I can think is to store the state of the variable across frames. Something like v.has_attacked = v.attack_time > 0;

You can tell a swing began on a given frame if v.attack_time > 0 && v.has_attacked == 0

Important note: That condition would need tested before the variable is assigned its new value

[untold magnet]

mhm

[sharp elbow]

Although that might not be enough either. Attachables only update their animations when the item is selected, so that alone still has no knowledge over whether the swing began with the item in hand

[distant tulip]

i was searching for this in the cooldown component...
why is in the player class

[sharp elbow]

Perhaps this could be combined with q.life_time? If the difference in the new value and the last known value is noticeably larger than before (any larger than q.delta_time, as an approximation) then the player might have switched from another item to your attachable

[untold magnet]

i think the player?.startItemCooldown('ancient', 60); works the best here why fixing the issue if i can just do this lol

yeah it works pretty fine,

[random flint]

A quick reminder, q.cooldown_time_remaining() molang query only works on you. Other players will always evaluate to 0... well, if you do c.owning_entity ->

[untold magnet]

the sword i am making is kinda strong, so making it unusable while doing everything else is better than fixing the actual bug

[sharp elbow]

I hadn't thought about that, but it makes sense. Thanks for sharing

[untold magnet]

"transitions":[{"lock":"q.cooldown_time_remaining('slot.weapon.mainhand', 0) != 0"},{"is_charging":"q.cooldown_time_remaining('slot.weapon.mainhand', 0) == 0 && c.is_first_person"}]
i just have to add c.owning_entity -> there ig

this bug was dragging me crazy yesterday, i had to add a whole lock system just to fix it

[random flint]

Try multiplayer if the animation works as intended. Even though it works on your screen, that doesn't mean it's the same on another player's screen.

For my testing, other players don't know each other's cooldowns. That's why it evaluates 0... c.owning_entity just made sure it was the holder... but it's still effectively client-sided.
-# This is why I ended up using the janky play animation stopExpression variable injection to manipulate attachable animations.

[sharp elbow]

playAnimation my beloved

[untold magnet]

well, can i somehow use scripts to play animations from the animation controller?

like changing a variable value or something else to trigger the animation conditions in the controller,

[random flint]

I don't think you can trigger the animation controller directly from a script, but there are "controller" interface in playAnimationOptions (Mostly used to stacks animation). I mostly just brute force, making the script my own animation controller

[untold magnet]

mhm,

[warm mason]

what are u talking about?

[untold magnet]

i was trying to do that so i can play some first person animations using the script or to make the animations blending

but meh,

[random flint]

oh you mean changing the variable? Yeah, that works. Even in attachable pre-animation molang too.

[untold magnet]

so how can i do that? i will be using it in a future project.

[random flint]

The concept of how it works is basically FMBE, but the variable can actually bleed into the attachable. This one showcases their method: https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1463304436330922014

[untold magnet]

thanks,

[grave halo]

||tem sim|| but we only can speak english here

[distant tulip]

do you guys think adding support for BlockSignComponent for a custom sign template is a good idea? or should i leave that to the user

const originalGetComponent = Block.prototype.getComponent;

Block.prototype.getComponent = function (id) {
  if (
    this.typeId === customSignId &&
    (
      id === "minecraft:sign" ||
      id === "sign" ||
      id === customSignId
    )
  ) {
    return new CustomSignComponent(this);
  }

  return originalGetComponent.call(this, id);
};

uh, what does 1 mean

[warm mason]

"good idea"

[untold magnet]

speaking of queries and animations, i believe i can recreate the cape movements or something similar to it using some queries and animation controllers, what should i use for that?
the thing i am animating is looking like vines, where it will move when the player moves, so when the player moves forwards the vines will move backwards, if the player moves to the right, the vines will move to the left etc

is that even possible to do?

[chrome gyro]

Anyone know how to get the timing of a ranged_attack. I'm trying to trigger a spawn_particle if an attack is charging up through script, but don't want to do it through a locator and or have to make a behavior pack animation controller. Hoping there's data you can get from the component through script some how?

[cold grove]

The best way is to do it client-side, and use q.is_charging and q.is_charged

[chrome gyro]

is there a way to query those with script?

[cold grove]

Just to check when is charged
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/entityischargedcomponent?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[chrome gyro]

          const charge = entity.getComponent("minecraft:is_charged")
          console.error(charge.currentValue)

So I would do this to test right?

[cold grove]

Just do this or check if its undefined

entity.hasComponent(EntityComponentTypes.IsCharged);

"When added, this component signifies that this entity is charged."

[chrome gyro]

Hmmm ok, thanks. So that would test if it's fully charged up it seems? I've done a little bit of testing.

[cold grove]

yes

[chrome gyro]

Thank you!

[nova flame]

yo is it possible to make it so i can define what area a player can render as in blocks say for a speed build mini game makin it so the other players builds dont render for the player until match over?
dont even know where to ask this

[cold grove]

No

[neat hound]

I am totally unsure if that is possible... but if I wanted to do something like that, I'd have the build area for each player somewhere else, then when it is over, bring all the builds over to a community spot..... or just build warp portals to each build spot that open when competition over.

[nova flame]

yeah but the rendering is cooler

[neat hound]

Functional is better

[cold grove]

I guess you can create a barrier block box and add a very limited fog?

[neat hound]

It can look like a render to copy it over

That is a good idea

They just cannot see it.. until fog and barrier removed

[trail marten]

fine by me

[round bone]

It's not fine. You're testing it as a host - in every single world, host has the same entity identifier and that's why you think it works. If you include more players in the test, you would see that they've different entity identifiers across the worlds

[trail marten]

i don't plan for the identifier to be the same for every world. just wanna make it reference to a player, in a world.

[round bone]

If it's just an addon (not a server add-on), it's okay to use it, but just remember that if you want to have a consistent player identifier across the worlds, use XUID

[fickle rapids]

is there a way to override the default minecraft commands

i want to ensure that this does not succeed when run from the server console (or anywhere really)

[warm mason]

"clickEvent" is not a thing

[warm mason]

no

[fickle rapids]

oh this command is for java edition

the host runs a tellraw that puts a message in chat

[warm mason]

idk then

this is a bedrock server..

[fickle rapids]

but on bedrock servers it uses the same command

i was just wondering if there was a way to modify /tellraw to not work on certain inputs

and anything else would get handled with the normal /tellraw

[fickle rapids]

damn i wish it bricked the entire command

[round bone]

At most you can change their permission

[fickle rapids]

the command is executed from the server console by my server host

[round bone]

You can just override who's permitted to a command. You cannot change it's behavior directly

[marble sigil]

I'm learning TS now as I'm already good at JS, so, does anyone find having to use something like entity.getComponent('name') as EntityNameComponent (type casting for components) when working with older API versions, like 1.15.0?

[cold grove]

Yes

[round bone]

Yes, as it's type safe for custom components.

It makes sure that you won't use anything that does not exist or makes no sense

[sharp elbow]

I wouldn't say it's type safe, as you could assert the return type as some other component than the ID you gave it. The result can be undefined if the entity lacks that component, too.

Might be more explicit to do a type guard.

const name = entity.getComponent('name');
if (name instanceof EntityNameComponent) {
  // ...
}

[amber berry]

I see

[sharp elbow]

Oh, well I was using whatever existing example was there. That could be EntityInventoryComponent, for example

[amber berry]

I understood

[round bone]

TypeScript automatically assigns a type of a certain component due to type mapping

You can check if it's undefined in your code and it'll be the same (but only in TypeScript)

[sharp elbow]

We're still talking about the pre-generic getComponent, right?

[round bone]

getComponent is generic?

[sharp elbow]

In order for EntityComponentReturnType to be used in newer scripting versions, yeah

[amber berry]

const inv = entity.getComponent(EntityComponentTypes.Inventory)
if (inv == undefined) return;

Why not use something like this

[cyan basin]

wouldn't you just do if (!inv) return?

[amber berry]

that works too, I just said cause they were talking about undefined detection

[sharp elbow]

That is missing the purpose of this discussion, anyway

[cyan basin]

https://tenor.com/view/vb-gif-25663467

[round bone]

Yeah, it's better and that's what I was trying to get the convo to

Also, it's better to use enumerations

[sharp elbow]

It is better to use enumerations.

[amber berry]

Why ?

[round bone]

If values do change, enums are also updated

[sharp elbow]

This isn't a good solution in older versions of the scripting API where the type of getComponent returns EntityComponent. And my stance on the debate is asserting a type using as isn't fully safe either

[amber berry]

Ohh i saw worse, idk why, I need to sleep ngl

[round bone]

Good night

[round bone]

I have thought that this is a generic function for a longer time

[sharp elbow]

getComponent being generic?

[round bone]

Yeah, isn't it?

[sharp elbow]

Yeah, just double-checking that I follow

[sharp elbow]

That's fair, the generic typing is quite convenient. Those QOL improvements do make for interesting discussions when we go back to older API versions

[round bone]

Since I've picked up TypeScript, add-on API is much smoother heh

[sharp elbow]

Writing type-safe code within JavaScript is an art on its own

[round bone]

A banned art

[sharp elbow]

An art I'm willing to follow if I'm too lazy to set up esbuild lol

[runic maple]

Is the equippable component still only accesible for players?

[wary edge]

Yes 🙁

[runic maple]

☹️ Gemini is so adamant on gaslighting me it works on mobs, no matter my testing. there goes my dreams I guess.

[cold grove]

The documentation says it explicitly

??? Why use ai to ask that

[runic maple]

It says it is on all mobs and can be gotten for all players or something, Doesn't say no mob can access it

[runic maple]

"Provides access to a mob's equipment slots. This component exists on player entities."

[shy leaf]

note to self: mace smash cant be canceled

[random flint]

There's a workaround using runCommand using hasitem selector filter to check specific items on a certain slot, then retrieving success count of it...

yo I be working on a thing, this is not the original code it's just a structure test, but I'm wondering if this is good or if there's still a better way to do it

context: my original code is gonna do this defining variables 27 times total (with a a array, b array and c array for a 3x3 cube)

i dumbed it down to the barebones idea and while testing I came up with this nested "while" loop which does work and would be enough if it's good enough const pos = { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }; let text = ""; let a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,26 ]; let h = 0; while (h <= 27) { let k = -1; while (k <= 1) { let j = -1; while (j <= 1) { let i = -1; while (i <= 1) { a[h] = "(" + [pos.x + i, pos.z + j, pos.y + k] + ")"; text += a[h] console.log(a[h]) i++; h++; ; } j++; } k++; } }

but I'm wondering if there's a better way anyone with more experience knows? :3

[cobalt hollow]

function coolfunction(dimension, { x, y, z }) {
    const blockTypes = [];
    const belowY = y - 1;

    for (let dz = -1; dz <= 1; dz++) {
        for (let dx = -1; dx <= 1; dx++) {
            const block = dimension.getBlock({ x: x + dx, y: belowY, z: z + dz });
            blockTypes.push(block?.typeId ?? "minecraft:air");
        }
    }

    return blockTypes;
}

idk if that works

but yeah

[lean canopy]

so what da heck is this dz dx thing doing

[lean canopy]

also how do you increment belowY

[olive sphinx]

Ooo, a for statement. Loops it till dz equals or is greater then 1. Then it uses the dz value and add it to the z value. That is a smart way to condense it

[olive sphinx]

dz & dx are like variables. These go up till it meets the value that is greater then or equal to another value, which in this case is 1

[lean canopy]

so

why is

like

whats the difference between using dz and dx or i and j like I used

[olive sphinx]

No difference, just preference and clarity mostly

[lean canopy]

cuz this looks exactly like a normal for loop which I forgot existed because I have never used them yet in my actionscript coding

oh okay

ok so then

my main question is how does y increment here

[olive sphinx]

It doesn't it is static

[lean canopy]

cuz this looks exactly like my while loops except missing one and formatted into for loops instead lol

okay

[lean canopy]

cuz this is literally what I came up with but with for loops instead lol

[olive sphinx]

Your y never changed, it was always y - 1 so it doesn't need to change

[lean canopy]

bruh I just said the same thing twice

[lean canopy]

uhhh incorrect

in my original screenshot it never changed

but it does change

I mentioned that script would run 3 times, 1 for each layer of a 3x3 cube

[olive sphinx]

If it does change, just add another for statement loop

[lean canopy]

which again is already what I've done but just in a for statement instead :P

does that even save characters?

[olive sphinx]

What do u mean by save characters?

[lean canopy]

lmao the while loop is actually a character smaller

[lean canopy]

typing characters

like

[olive sphinx]

Your while statements is long vertically, a for statement compresses it. This is from what I can see

[lean canopy]

vertically yea

I don't really care about that tho it's honestly simpler to do the while loop

but yea if I did care that would be good

[olive sphinx]

It is mostly preference

[lean canopy]

okay I'm just gonna assume it was fine, somebody else pointed out that my outermost loop was completely useless so I fixed that but other than that I think I like mine better

yah

that's kindof what I'm looking for anyways I do want to see alternative methods bcuz the more I see the more I understand the langu waj better :3

[hardy tusk]

bro typescript is so stupid, apparently for test = "default" Type string is not assignable to type "default"

what dumbass made this shit?

in type definitions you can do stuff like string or Array but you can also specify how it should look so you can do ("option1" | "option2") or [ number, string ] for arrays. This works great for functions and the like but for a simple variable declaration the compiler has a brainfart, wow.

[round bone]

It works right, if you want to specify the string, you have to do this:

const test: string = "default" 

[hardy tusk]

bro did not get at all what I meant

😭

[round bone]

I get it, you didn't declare a full type and now TypeScript interprets it as a constant. Specify the type to avoid situations like this

[subtle cove]

type monke:${string} is not assignable to type string

[hardy tusk]

you can do stuff like ```ts
function test(param1: "option1" | "option2") {}
// and run that with
test("option1")
test("option3") // would create an error

// doing
let arr: { prop1: ("option1" | "option2") }[] = [ { prop1: "option1" } ]
// throws an error however

[hardy tusk]

wdym I didn't declare a full type??

[hardy tusk]

it makes no sense why this syntax is supported for parameters but not properties or variables.

[hardy tusk]

oh right so this doesn't even produce an error it seems. It is strictly when you use it with an Interface it does it

[round bone]

const array: ({ prop1: "option1" | "option2" })[] = [
    {
        prop1: "option1"
    }
]

Shouldn't it be like that?

[hardy tusk]

read what I just said.

[round bone]

It does not throw error for me at all

I'm on 6.0.2

[hardy tusk]

[round bone]

I do not get your point at all. It's an expected TypeScript behavior

[hardy tusk]

if you assign that type to an interface and do the same thing it throws an error, THATS my point

[round bone]

Show me in the code

[hardy tusk]

I dont have the original file anymore because I threw it away

[round bone]

interface IMyItem {
  prop1: "option1" | "option2"
}

let arr: IMyItem[] = [
  { prop1: "option1" }
]

Like this?

[hardy tusk]

I just wanted to hack something together for which typescript is superior and it produced this awkward behaviour

[hardy tusk]

yeah like that

not exactly

but pretty much same result

[round bone]

There are many solutions.

1. Use readonly as much as you can. It's like using const over let - more reliable.
2. Use as/satisfies
3. as const

interface IMyItem {
  readonly prop1: "option1" | "option2"
}

let arr: IMyItem[] = [
  { prop1: "option1" }
]

And it works fine, just a simple keyword

[hardy tusk]

that does nothing

[round bone]

I do not have any problems with your code, but sometimes TypeScript might narrow not read-only types like in this case to just a string. If you want to not have readonly and keep the type, just use a type

[hardy tusk]

okay so you have to implement the interface and then it throws the error

[round bone]

No, it works. It indicates to TypeScript that this variable is a readonly that is already assigned by the right type. Without readonly, it won't be always sure

[untold magnet]

@distant tulip whats wrong with this durability damage function?

function durDmg(player, itemStack, dmg, id) {
  const dur = itemStack?.getComponent('minecraft:durability');
  let actualDura = dur.maxDurability - dur.damage;
  if (actualDura > dmg && itemStack?.typeId === id) {
    dur.damage = dur.damage + dmg;
    player?.getComponent('minecraft:equippable').setEquipment('Mainhand', itemStack);
  } else {player?.getComponent('minecraft:equippable').setEquipment('Mainhand', undefined); player?.playSound('random.break', player?.location)};
};```it can duplicate the item when u switch slots right after calling this function,

as u can see

[distant tulip]

nothing is wrong with it, that just aa problem with how the game handle stuff

[untold magnet]

mhm, so i just cant prevent it from doing that right?

[distant tulip]

afaik
maybe try to double check the slot before setting the item

[untold magnet]

if (actualDura > dmg && itemStack?.typeId === id) {

hmm

[untold magnet]

const stackItem = player?.getComponent('minecraft:equippable').getEquipment('Mainhand');
if (stackItem?.typeId !== id) return; works just fine

[distant tulip]

yes, but assign
player?.getComponent('minecraft:equippable')
to a variable, you are reusing it a lot

[steep hamlet]

is it possible to damage an item without re-equipping the itemstack?

[warm mason]

no

[steep hamlet]

[lean canopy]

check ur recycling bin u probably still do

[hardy tusk]

It's not that deep bro. I was just ranting. The file was a temp unsaved file in the vscode editor, so its not been saved anywhere. And Im not even home anymore so theres no point anyhow.

[lean canopy]

o

darn

[sharp elbow]

Depends on how you are grabbing the ItemStack instance. I have heard people encountering an issue like this with custom components more than item-related world events

[sharp elbow]

Since the logic is branching, it is technically used only once. But DRY could make the result prettier

[distant tulip]

yeah, i ignored that in his first message, but not sure where he is adding the check

[sharp elbow]

For consistency and performance, I always prefer writing ContainerSlot-related item functions. The slot index doesn't change across any amount of time (since I am not reacquiring it) and it tends to be more friendly to API caching.

function durDmgSlot(player, slot, dmg) {
  const item = slot.getItem();
  const durability = item?.getComponent("minecraft:durability");
  if (durability === undefined) return;
  // ... enchantments, other systems, etc.
  slot.setItem(item);
}

Outside of this function, I could reduce the durability of many items in my inventory; I acquire the EntityInventoryComponent one time, acquire the slot once for each slot, then this function simply gets the item and sets it back to that slot. I think it is more elegant

Only issue is the EntityEquippableComponent or the EntityInventoryComponent instances need to be cached to some variable within the same scope so the ContainerSlot is valid.

[sage portal]

is 4000 lines of code reasonable for one file if it's just for something like scriptevents?

[sharp elbow]

I might add comments that show up more readily in an IDE's minimap feature, like // MARK: <Feature> for VSCode. If it doesn't make sense to split more of it off into more files, then don't

[distant tulip]

yeah, small stuff like this seem unnecessary, but you quickly find out they are when scaling up

[distant tulip]

stuff inside scriptevent itself can be imported from different files
beside readability do keep in mind other stuff might suffer from large files (4000 is nothing, but i am just saying) like the spellchecker or formatter

[sharp elbow]

It's kinda silly where you can find optimizations. Even location property access on entities is an API lookup. If you're iterating 1000 times and acquiring location each time, the game will cry.

[distant tulip]

const {x,yz} = block
vs
const location = block.location
is the one that my brain can't get used to lol
you would think they do the same thing

[sharp elbow]

Haha, yeah, that's a fun one too

I suppose even the following is different:

// Three API calls?
const {x, y, z} = block;
// One API call?
const {x, y, z} = block.location;

[distant tulip]

huh, i never looked at variables destructuring as multiple api calls

[random flint]

whaat? that's a thing? noted

[sharp elbow]

It only happens to be here because both a Block instance and the location property technically satisfy the Vector3 interface; Block instances have properties x, y, and z.

I haven't tested performance on it, but assumedly each of the axis properties are their own API call

[distant tulip]

can we just pass the block to every function that ask for vec3 or is passing a vec3 better

[subtle cove]

it works on entityqueries, and other params

back then, most params were strict with the properties

now, it's less strict

so u can pass any object

they'll just try to read the property needed

[distant tulip]

yeah, but would there be any performance different

[sharp elbow]

I haven't tested it, but I would think it is better to pass block.location

[subtle cove]

me when player.teleport(block, block) ;-;

[subtle cove]

i think the only difference would be the object's byte size... or somewhere along the lines of new objects being created during the execution

[subtle cove]

fun fact, that xyz from block is value similar to id and not getter. I might be wrong tho

[sharp elbow]

Ah, where it is safe to access regardless of the block's validity?

[subtle cove]

mhmm

so getting the xyz from block, instead of location, is less costly

[open urchin]

yes, since their values are already present on the Block object whereas .location requires an additional native call

[sharp elbow]

Look at that, I was wrong. TIL

[stray spoke]

Yeah it got the same syntax but click event doesn't exist on bedrock

only ones I know is score and text

[stray spoke]

or do "Head"

[random flint]

It's case sensitive for the Enums too If I remember correctly. So "Head" instead of "head"

[ocean escarp]

Is entityHurt cancellable?

[wary edge]

Set the damage to 0 in the before events.

Wait, never mind lol, just do event.cancel

[ocean escarp]

I tried to cancel it and it went through anyways

You're using beforeEvents right?

Yup

Had an idea that some items gave less iframes

how to get offset from body rotation using AABB?

[sharp elbow]

I'm not sure I understand. AABBs don't involve rotation in any way.

[knotty plaza]

I think they mean like, if you are lookin north the AABB is in one position, but if you look east it rotates to always be at your right/left/front/back

Maybe

[jade quest]

did you end up finding a solution for this other than removing/moving the item from the slot its in?

[cinder shadow]

nope

and I'm not actually removing/moving the item lol

[jade quest]

i found a solution for the animation thing, im not having the issue with sounds though so im not sure about that

[jade quest]

good idea xD

[cinder shadow]

It's because I have my item consumed instantly

[jade quest]

"animation.humanoid.use_item_progress": {
  "loop": true,
  "bones": {
    "rightarm": {
      "rotation": [ "variable.use_item_startup_progress * -60.0 + variable.use_item_interval_progress * 11.25", "variable.use_item_startup_progress * -22.5 + variable.use_item_interval_progress * 11.25", "variable.use_item_startup_progress * -5.625 + variable.use_item_interval_progress * 11.25" ]
    }
  }
}

you just gotta make these numbers negative and play it as an animation, or subtract them from whatever animation you want to play instead

[jade quest]

ohh right, i would have thought the eating animation would stop in that case

[cinder shadow]

I was trying to cancel food consumption when someone interacted with specific blocks that would use that item

It's the eating particles that still play

and sound unfortunately

I was just going ot leave it how it is

[jade quest]

ohh i guess we had a different problem then, for me it was playing the eating animation on an item with the use animation set to none

[cinder shadow]

Still trying to figure out how to reproduce another bug related to item cooldowns so I can report it but it's nigh impossible to

does anyone have ideas on how to decrease the performance overhead of Dimension.placeFeatureRule()?

[potent drift]

One question: what is the new, or let's say latest, manifest.json plis

[hazy nebula]

It's like whichever direction the player turns, the entity turns in that direction.

block function

entity function (i tried modifying it to just use the same while loop structure)

why does world.sendMessage("" + blockTestFunc()) correctly send the type ids of the blocks

but entityTestFunc just responds with blank items

[drifting raven]

Please, no screenshots or photos!

Screenshots are hard to read, and photos even more so. This is especially true if you are using bridge or another tree editor, as this format obscures the JSON format.

We can help you best if you copy and paste your code here, or send it directly as a file.

although ig i could probably transfer the file to my phone and just send the.json

js not .json mb

but yah thats better

forgot i had a usb cord with me

[lean canopy]

anyways, replacing entityTestFunc() with blockTestFunc() makes it correctly output minecraft:air,minecraft:obsidian,minecraft:air

etc. etc. but the entityTestFunc() gives ,,,,,,, or smthn

actually I think it's just ,,,

which makes me think its returning one vector3 or something?? idk its weird

sometimes its overworld, sometimes its Overworld and sometimes its minecraft:overworld

why is the game like this

how

why does it not use Dimension and use string instead? i dont know!

here's the functions

world.sendMessage("" + blockTestFunc())``` and this message sends correctly in chat for blockTestFunc

world.sendMessage("" + entityTestFunc())
but entity it sends this

Dimension#getEntitiesAtBlockLocation returns Entity[]
So Array#typeId is undefined

[potent drift]

I don't understand, I'm asking for the latest one, is it beta-2.6.0 or beta-2.7.0?

[lean canopy]

what is this link for

idk what the link is for but yeah looks like typeid is undefined which is weird cuz somebody else gave me a link to it which shows typeid being listed there

[cold grove]

???
Sorry i pasted the wrong documentation

[lean canopy]

i was wondering lol

probly just misclick

wait nvm typeid IS there

[cold grove]

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

[lean canopy]

oh wait

[cold grove]

It returns an array

[lean canopy]

so are entities not objects?

[cold grove]

Entity[]

[lean canopy]

ohhhh no cuz it lists each entity at that block

[cold grove]

Yup

[lean canopy]

i got it now lemme try something

ok so

basically my code is making an array of arrays of objects

[cold grove]

Is making an array of undefined

[lean canopy]

right aorry

i mean if i take the type id out

its gonna make what i said

cuz then im setting ET[number] to getentitiesatblocklocation which returns an array
