Script API General

[cold grove]

Youre trying to test for a specific entity or just all entities? In the corners?

[lean canopy]

technically for a specific entity

but i also want the player to have only the ender crystals in that position

so i think this is better

cuz i already have a way to check for it once i have that array of type ids

actually no that would be wrong cuz i dont think its controllable how they would go into the array

hmm

[lean canopy]

yeah do you have a better way to test for specific entities?

okay actually i think thisll work now

i just changed it to this

cuz it appears to go by order they were placed into the world

which it's pretty unlikely you're gonna have a entity go into the spot of the ender crystal since it will explode and kill the entities near it, so the player probably will not want them to be near the reactor

but still if there's a better way I do wanna see other methods

on a side note, is there a way to check the state of the block using getBlock? cuz I'd like the respawn anchors to have to be fully charged, but rn it doesn't matter if they're charged or not

[cold grove]

You should keep the array and, in your other code, add a find() method

const targetEntityType= '';
const entitiesAtDirections = entityTestFunc();

entitiesAtDirections[0].find((e) => e.typeId === targetEntityType);

[lean canopy]

ooh

that's good to know

[wary edge]

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.6.0/classes/Dimension.html#getentities

And use the query option to filter stuff out.

[lean canopy]

i meant at the spot specified

does that let you do that?

[wary edge]

Did you look at the doc I sent?

[lean canopy]

i saw it before when i was originally looking and it looked like it wasn't helpful to me but maybe i missed somethjng

yeah what am I missing? cuz this doesn't seem helpful (in this scenario)

[wary edge]

How is it not?

What are you missing from the query?

[lean canopy]

ok where the heck is this cuz this is not the doc you sent

oh nvm im stooooopid

😭

ya okay for some reason i didnt think entity query options was clickable

so i just thought the examples given showed off all the query options

oki

this is very good to know

[lean canopy]

last thing I need is the side note here if theres a way to either check this in the script api

or to check the output of a .runCommand either of those would solve the last problem i have

[lean canopy]

if there's a block equivalent of this that would also be epic

[wary edge]

Get blocks?

[lean canopy]

ye i figured it would be that but what i mean is does it have a bunch of filters like that

[wary edge]

You're not gonna believe this

https://stirante.com/script/server/2.6.0/classes/Dimension.html#getblocks

[lean canopy]

ok yeah i probably missed it the same way

[wary edge]

Why loop?

[lean canopy]

whats the difference between this site and microsoft learn btw cuz this seems way nicer and ive been looking at the microsoft learn documentation previously and just constantly been missing stuff apparently

[cold grove]

check on all directions

[wary edge]

Use volume for that.

Its already built into the query.

[lean canopy]

whats this for :o

[cold grove]

not "all" directions anyway

[wary edge]

How so?

[cold grove]

just the corners

youre right

didnt realize hehe

[lean canopy]

since we're on the subject of volume, is there a way to control which blocks it checks for in different parts of a blockvolume, or does it just check that the volume contains all the block types you list

[wary edge]

Make multiple volumes then?

[lean canopy]

ok thats what i thought

and i couldn't get it to work when I was testing it but it seems like it should be possible to check for blocks diagonally like, in an x shape? or am i thunking wrong

[wary edge]

Honestly, what are you trying to do?

[lean canopy]

right now I'm just learning

[lean canopy]

I have solutions, though I need to implement this I think for the respawn anchors

but rn everything should at least work

so I just wanted to see alternate days of doing it

[cold grove]

but what are you trying to implement?

[lean canopy]

but for this specific instance I'm trying to make it so that when the player clicks a block, it checks for specific blocks (and for one of my custom blocks, also checking entities, which is why i was asking here) in the first place) in a 3x3x3 area

my function for the blocks works fine except for checking states, which is fine bcuz only the one custom block needs to check those states

so i was focusing on entities here

once all of it is checked and if the player placed it correctly then it places a structure

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1496535965303443638

this is what i was working on before if you're curious

[lean canopy]

uhhh so for respawn anchors, the charge would be one of its "permutations" right?

so actually it might be better for me to use that method instead of getblocks filters

[wise raft]

Is there a way to check if a block is flowing_water instead of water?

[wary edge]

Check the typeId?

[wise raft]

it is always water

[wary edge]

Are you talking about water from a source?

Thats not flowing water.

[wise raft]

yes

no

[wary edge]

Thats water with liquid depth.

Check the block state then.

[wise raft]

alright thanks

[lean canopy]

oh also @wary edge @cold grove thank you for all your help :)

[night oracle]

What is the glyph (unicode) for the mc heart?

[open urchin]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/text/emojis#hud

[last latch]

for the love of god i cannot remember the event that was triggered once the player that joined was ready to get an actionform opened

does anyone know the event?

i cant find it either

[wary edge]

I dont believe thats ever a thing.

We have playerSpawn and playerJoin only.

What people do is have retry attempts.

[last latch]

That is weird as hell, cuz i can remember that some friend said I should use that event if I want to show a form right after join

it was like weirdly named

[wary edge]

An ancient technique called gaslighting.

[last latch]

i might have dementia 😢

[wary edge]

It might be worth looking at server-net then?

Catch some packets.

[last latch]

Good idea. Seems like a better option than bruteforcing showForm()

[half ivy]

Is there a eay to increased player swim speed

[distant tulip]

@half ivy

[hazy nebula]

can script give player yellow heart?

[half ivy]

Thankz

[shut citrus]

how to covert movement value to speed value?

like movement value is 0.25 but speed value is 1

[crude ferry]

You can't?

I do not understand your question lol.

[violet bloom]

@crude ferry I pinging you because idk if any one else is online on here but I get this error

[Scripting][error]-TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined at <anonymous> (main.js:3)

[Scripting][error]-Plugin [Custom Chat System - 1.0.0] - [main.js] ran with error: [TypeError: cannot read property 'subscribe' of undefined at <anonymous> (main.js:3)
]

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

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((data) => {
const player = data.sender;
const message = data.message;

data.cancel = true;

if (message.toLowerCase().startsWith("-me ")) {
    const actionText = message.substring(4);
    
    world.sendMessage(`${player.name} ${actionText}`);
} else {
    world.sendMessage(`${player.name}: ${message}`);
}

});

Why am I getting that error

Because it's looks fune

[crude ferry]

What version of minecraft/server are you using?

[violet bloom]

1.10.0 without -beta

[crude ferry]

chatSend is in pre-release.

You need Beta.

[shut citrus]

how?

[crude ferry]

Can you explain your question better?

I only do Script and never worked much with entity components but I am very sure the "value" of the minecraft:movement cannot give you the speed at a given instant. If that's what you're asking.

[stray spoke]

I experienced a bug but unrecorded, it was when I knockback myself with wind charge while I stopped using fly

Then I stayed in mid air going up and down a little repeatingly

And then a few seconds after it continues to fall down and back to normal

Second bug is this, but I think this is just in bad timings of heal and death

[knotty plaza]

I think the golem needs some help

[stray spoke]

[distant tulip]

that bug is still here

[stray spoke]

Lol

[shy leaf]

whar

[sage portal]

If I want File A to import a function from File B, but said function imports something from File C, do I have to import both B and C, or just B?

[distant tulip]

just b

[sage portal]

finally some convenience, thanks

[crude ferry]

When you import even just a function from a file, the whole file runs once. So 'technically' you already import C when you import B in A.

[crude ferry]

What 😭

[stray spoke]

Yeah, tested

idk why

I used some imported functions and I forgot that I haven't deleted some of my debug codes in there that auto-runs

But when I use something like

const DEBUG = true
export function sendLog(txt){
  if(DEBUG) console.warn(txt)
}

It says DEBUG is undeclared

[crude ferry]

You also have to export the variable DEBUG.

DEBUG is a variable only in your debug(whatever you named it.) file scope.

When I said it runs the file once. That does NOT mean all of B's variable is exposed to A.

[crude ferry]

Oh wait actually. If you use the function, it should work.

[stray spoke]

I had to put the variable inside the function

[crude ferry]

Can you show how you were calling sendLog() function though?

[stray spoke]

Incase if something wrong here, here's the full example:

import "./src/event1.js" 
import "./src/event2.js" 

const DEBUG = true;
export function sendLog(txt){
  if(DEBUG) console.warn(txt)
}

in event files, I use it like:

import {sendLog} from "../index.js"

function something(){
  sendLog("Something successfully happened")
}

[distant tulip]

that function is calling itself
did you mean

const DEBUG = true;

export function sendLog(txt){
  if (DEBUG) {
    console.log(txt);
  }
}

[stray spoke]

Oh yes sorry

I mean, still the problem

I just mistype it here

[distant tulip]

whats the problem

[stray spoke]

It's small issue though and it's working if I put the variable inside. It's just idk why it didn't work and says variable DEBUG is undeclared when I use the sendLog function

[stray spoke]

-if the variable DEBUG is outside

[subtle cove]

Donnt trigger the function instantly while importing

[crude ferry]

Yeah.

[stray spoke]

Ohh

[crude ferry]

The two imports on the DEBUG file are most probably causing it.

[stray spoke]

Like the timing

[crude ferry]

Function do have access to variables of their original file.

[crude ferry]

Yes.

[stray spoke]

I get it now

Thanks yall

[crude ferry]

By the way, just wondering, why are you using that version lol?

I mean is there any specific use case you had to use such an old version for lol?

[woven loom]

Does anyone have working code for camera.playAnimation?

[crude glacier]

Tbh the most interesting thing in math is matrices

[digital swallow]

Does anyone know how to actually use Potions.resolve? I can't figure it out

[crude glacier]

Potions.resolve ?

[digital swallow]

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

I am trying to give a potion as an ItemStack

[crude glacier]

Then write its type id

That s all

Wait sorry...

Use it this way
Potion.resolve("minecraft:effect_type_id" , "delevery_type")

Tbh , i didn't find no enums in index.ts for it

[distant tulip]

    const item = ItemStack.createPotion({ effect: 'WaterBreath', liquid: 'Regular', modifier: 'Long' })

if this is what you are looking for

[digital swallow]

Doesn't this not exist anymore?

[distant tulip]

let me double check

[crude glacier]

Not in stable

[digital swallow]

Not even in beta seemingly

[crude glacier]

Are you trying to make custom effect or use already existing one ?

[digital swallow]

existing one

[distant tulip]

yeah
i mean this look straight forward, no?

[crude glacier]

Yeah , but it have no enums that s the problem

You don't know what to put in potionDeliveryType

As a string

[digital swallow]

apparently you use vanilla-data

[distant tulip]

there is getAllDeliveryTypes

[crude glacier]

Try using Potions.getAllDeliveryTypes()

Or just make generic key-word function

Like you give it a key word from the effect type and the delivery type

And you get the potion

[digital swallow]

const potion = Potions.resolve("minecraft:Healing", "Consume")
inventory.addItem(potion)

Wait this specfically works, like the first one have "minecraft:" and the 2nd one not

[crude glacier]

Yes

[crude glacier]

...

[digital swallow]

cool so I think my problem the whole time was I expected both to have the minecraft: prefix or not to have it

[crude glacier]

I mean they should add that i guess to make it more intuitive

[digital swallow]

Oh its listed that way on these docs too dang I can't read

[crude glacier]

like you know you can use itemStack item's type id without or without Minecraft

[digital swallow]

right

Thanks for the help guys

[crude glacier]

Uw

[cyan basin]

If anyone wants them, here's all of the current Types available. The main file include simple use cases for both TypeScript and JavaScript.

[crude glacier]

Guys is there a way ,to enforce breaking a black

[thorn flicker]

wdym

are you asking if there's a method for destroying a block at a location? no

you'll have to use the setblock command with destroy set to true

[crude glacier]

no like actual breaking

with particles

[distant tulip]

fill command with destroy

[crude glacier]

hmm intersting

what about breaking multi blocks

but the problem is one block is getting destroyed before the other ones

[warm mason]

FILL command

not setblock

what's the problem with using it?

[crude glacier]

no like when breaking blocks

like one breaks before the other ones

[warm mason]

well, the delay is just one tick...

[crude glacier]

yeah but it sucks

is there like SOLUTION

[thorn flicker]

no

[crude glacier]

sad

[thorn flicker]

its not that big of an issue anyway

lol

[crude glacier]

hmm for small multiblock structures

[thorn flicker]

im assuming you are making a hammer

[crude glacier]

but for bigger ones the impact is not negligible

[crude glacier]

no furniture

[thorn flicker]

oh

[crude glacier]

fuh wasted my time to know there is already a component named multiblock to solve it

[thorn flicker]

yeah I was gonna say

lol

[crude glacier]

no like after i finished everything ☠️

that s totally messed up

[thorn flicker]

damn that sucks

[crude glacier]

sucks so much

i need my time back ☠️

[thorn flicker]

time well spent practicing your coding skills

think of it that way ig

lol

[crude glacier]

: [

yeah u are right

[thorn flicker]

just be happy there's official support

[crude glacier]

but does it support horzontal parts

[thorn flicker]

let the happiness overshadow your frustration

[crude glacier]

oh never mind

it only supports up and down

[thorn flicker]

nope

damn

[crude glacier]

yeah then time well spent

[thorn flicker]

well you could make it hybrid...

[crude glacier]

hmmm yeah but it would be harder maybe

[thorn flicker]

hm

[crude glacier]

i mean ._.

i need vsync for breaking lol

[thorn flicker]

vsync?

[crude glacier]

you know when you screen generated unsynced frames

there is technology name vsync that fixes it

or gsync free sync

it solves the frames cut problem

[thorn flicker]

i know the technologies im just confused what it has to do with it

[crude glacier]

when u break a block

and it breaks before the other ones

i mean the one tick delat

lol

[thorn flicker]

well... you could cancel the break, then break it again

but the block will flash for like a tick

[crude glacier]

yeah it s like making new problem

so i will stick with what i have for now

smol question

how to make fill command dosen t drop item

[cyan basin]

when i saw you guys talking about breaking with fill command i thought you guys were talking about veinminer like this but then i saw the multiblock so i guess not

[crude glacier]

._.

[crude glacier]

@cyan basin how did u make items no spawn

[cyan basin]

gamerule dotiledrops false?

[crude glacier]

no using fills

fill command i meant

[sharp elbow]

/fill should just replace the blocks. How are you using it?

[crude glacier]

i just want particles but no item dropped

/fill somethingsomething destroy

[cyan basin]

either do gamerule dotiledrops false or check the block that was broken to it's item that drops within a small radius around the block and then kill it 🤷‍♂️

[crude glacier]

hmmm , i mean i am making multiblock furnitures i don t want the parts to be dropped as items

that s all

[cyan basin]

so kill them when broken -_-

[sharp elbow]

Could disable the game rule for a tick, I suppose

[crude glacier]

i want something performance wise

[cyan basin]

what's not performant about that?

[crude glacier]

hmm

[wary edge]

If only we had a BlockItemDrop event.

[cyan basin]

Do we?

[wary edge]

No, we have Entity.

[crude glacier]

lol

[cyan basin]

Silly

[wary edge]

Which works for disabling certain loot.

[crude glacier]

hmmm

[cyan basin]

Or just give loot table for blocks 😉 so blocks can either drop nothing or custom items all together

[crude glacier]

Entity item drop ?

or EntitySpawn

[wary edge]

You are talking to a man who had to make block breaking from scratch lol. I am more than aware.

[crude glacier]

i am too lazy to do... wait i can use one loot table

[cyan basin]

I'm just saying in general to this channel lol

[wary edge]

I had to disable tiledrops, check for bamboo, cactus, and then all the edge case, use loot table manager, and shebang.

[crude glacier]

1+1+1+1 = 4 ☠️

[thorn flicker]

give it an empty loot table, but spawn an item when you break 1 piece

[sharp elbow]

About performing one entity query on the dimension L×W×H times, looking up the item component on that entity, then checking the typeId against the block's typeId? This sounds nightmarish for performance

[crude glacier]

resonable

[wary edge]

Oh I got mixed up, I thought the vein miner was arthur's use case. Yeah, just give the block an empty loot table and use loottablemanager if you want to still utilise the engines loot table system.

[thorn flicker]

yeah, smart

[cyan basin]

Wait so you can just do an empty loot table like I said about here? lol

[crude glacier]

yep

[wary edge]

Only works for custom blocks. In this case yeah. Again, I got mixed up and thought that vanilla coal ore.

[crude glacier]

yeah np

[thorn flicker]

wish we could give spawned items the pickup delay though

[wary edge]

Sure you can. Cancel the Item Pickup no?

[thorn flicker]

right, forgot about that.

how long is the delay anyways?

[crude glacier]

no way fill command is faster than setBlock

[thorn flicker]

?

[crude glacier]

fill command is faster than setBlock somehow on my script

tbh noice cancelation using sound files and script api would be a crazy idea ☠️

[crude glacier]

Why non-marketplace add-ons aren't compatible anymore with vibrant visuals

[cyan basin]

You have to add ”capabilities”: [“pbr”] to your pack manifest to add support for Vibrant Visuals.

[subtle cove]

"

[cyan basin]

exactly

iPhone stinks giving me “ lol

[crude glacier]

Oh , ☠️

So i need a custom block to open storage space "inventory" when i click on it, Is it possible to do it ?

No way right?

[woven loom]

Does anyone have a way to find solid blocks?

[shut citrus]

why doesn't keepVelocity in teleport method support players?

while clearVelocity does

[shut citrus]

getblockfromray, set IncludePassableblock option to false

[meager zenith]

There is Block.isSolid() in beta, but that's the thing

It's still in beta

[woven loom]

Ye

[cyan basin]

If it’s the first open why make me have to hold the button first, that’s so dumb 💀

[simple zodiac]

Use getBlockFromRay with options

[cyan basin]

Thanks though, I hadn’t notice it there.

[simple zodiac]

There are options to include/exclude passible blocks

[potent drift]

Please, what is the beta version of the latest version of the manifest? Thank you.

[granite badger]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/modules/_minecraft_server-1.html

[fallen cape]

2.7.0-beta for 26.10 minecraft/server iirc
And 2.1.0-beta for minecraft/server-ui

[potent drift]

Thank you 😊

[deep quiver]

I tried using it a good while ago, but it just crashed my game, no matter what

I reported it to darknavi, let me see if I can find the code

                /**
                 * @type {import("@minecraft/server").AnimationOptions}

                        rotationKeyFrames: [
                        ],
                    },
                };

                for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {
                    const location = player.location;
                    location.x -= 3;
                    location.y += 2;

                    const spline = new LinearSpline();

                    player.camera.setCamera("minecraft:free", { location: location, facingEntity: player,  });
                    player.camera.playAnimation(spline, animation);
                }
            });

maybe I did it wrong tho, I just ended up doing manual animating

[woven loom]

Same it keep crashing the game

[cold grove]

Microslop did it again

[frozen vine]

How do I make the server UI options save when I log out and log back into the world? Is it possible?

[cold grove]

Dynamic properties

[frozen vine]

Thanks

[cold shoal]

Is it possible to rename a boss bar using .nameTag? Can't make it work

[last latch]

I don’t think so

Only using the name tag works

[cold shoal]

oof, that's unfortunate

[knotty plaza]

I just tried it, adding at least 1 rotation keyFrame stops the crashes

But the animation isn't working

[subtle cove]

Many have been on that before,
so you can proceed with using
"version": "beta"

[woven loom]

Yes 🙁

[woven loom]

Yes

[cyan basin]

Can we use "beta" for format versions yet or is that not in stable/preview yet?

[lyric kestrel]

Ah, just found out that if entity.setProperty and entity.getProperty are used in the same tick of system.run that it doesn't output the updated property with getProperty.

[wary edge]

Yes you need to wait 1 tick.

[lyric kestrel]

Yeah, I realise that now 😅

I've been at it for the last half hour wondering why it wasn't logging the correct property value lol

[sullen grotto]

For some reason this code removes landing particles entirely. Is there a way to fix it? Should I report it to Mojira?

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

world.beforeEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((event) => {
  event.cancel =
    event.damageSource.cause == EntityDamageCause.fall &&
    event.hurtEntity.getBlockStandingOn()?.typeId == "minecraft:hay_block";
});

According to the docs, damage in EntityHurtBeforeEvent is not read-only. Can I possibly try changing this value to 0 to remove damage?

[wary edge]

event.damage = 0

[sullen grotto]

I'll try, thanks. Hope that will fix the lack of particles

[empty tulip]

How can I summon a Lightning Bolt when a player dies? Especially if they have a tag like "skywars"?

[cyan basin]

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

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe((event) => {
    const { deadEntity } = event;

    if (deadEntity.typeId !== 'minecraft:player') return;
    if (!deadEntity.hasTag('skywars')) return;

    deadEntity.dimension.spawnEntity('minecraft:lightning_bolt', deadEntity.location);
});```
You can try this, I'm not sure if the location would be valid still, especially if you have instant respawn on.

[half ivy]

How would do i detect if a certain item has been clicked

[frozen vine]

Is there any way for me to see the current weather?

[late ore]

i tried using this script for the bulletdamage but nothing happens

[frozen vine]

It's possible your entity is not being considered a projectile.

[late ore]

i'll give the entity code:

[frozen vine]

Try using the new experimental custom projectile option.

[frozen vine]

It is currently only available in preview/beta.

Perhaps this new experiment will solve the problem, but I'm not sure.

[late ore]

how can i do it? its a plugin?

[midnight crane]

I'm trying to remove the durability but it won't work

    if (item.typeId === "bizarrecraft:stand_arrow" && !player.isSneaking && cooldown.cooldownTicks == 100 && cooldown.getCooldownTicksRemaining(player) == 0) {
        player.runCommand('function stand_arrow')
        durability.damage(1)
        cooldown.startCooldown(player)
    }

[valid ice]

Are you setting the item back to the player once it gets damaged?

[midnight crane]

wdym?

[violet bloom]

I made this Anticheat for people to use its a Anticheat to detect hacks, exploits and even lumine proxy bots but idk if they did the lumine proxy bots detection right and also when I not using hacks it detects me as using hacks is there any way to make it not detect regular players only hackers.

-# Note: I making a post thing for this

[grave halo]

How could i get the coordinates of a player using the script api?

[violet bloom]

I coding you one that way you can learn of it

I using the new slash cmds api

[grave halo]

uh

[grave halo]

what do you mean by that?

[violet bloom]

The getting any coordinates of any player

[grave halo]

oh sure

you can send it here

[violet bloom]

I testing the code to see if it works first

[grave halo]

ok

[violet bloom]

@grave halo I adding some notes for you

[grave halo]

alright

[violet bloom]

I do it to teach new people

[grave halo]

thats a great thing to do

[grave halo]

so how is it going there?

[shy leaf]

whats the goal here?

[violet bloom]

I currently fixing the errors

[grave halo]

oooh

[midnight crane]

Trying to make it when you use the item it removes durability

[shy leaf]

remove durability as in

• turning it into fresh state?
• make it unbreakable?
• deplete durability?

[midnight crane]

deplete

[shy leaf]

then you need to get the durability damage, add the amount of durability damage you want to apply, set it back, and then set equipment back

durabilityComp.damage = Math.min(
    durabilityComp.damage + durabilityModifier,
    durabilityComp.maxDurability
);
equippableComp.setEquipment(EquipmentSlot.Mainhand, itemStack);

[midnight crane]

Okay thanks

With "beta", we don't need to worry abt what version to change in our manifest every update

[grave halo]

thank you

[violet bloom]

Does it work

[grave halo]

yep

[violet bloom]

I don't why it says it two times

But other than that it still works

[grave halo]

because the response is given twice

on here and here

[violet bloom]

@grave halo that's an easy fix people can do

[grave halo]

yeah ik

[fallen cape]

How to control how far the camera is from the player when using "follow_orbit"?

[steep hamlet]

is there any example for assigning a value to a resource side variable with playAnimation and changing it afterwards through a controller or pre-animation?
in my test it worked making a variable true but it didnt work changing it afterwards inside another controller.

or are there any better alternatives for script-client communication?

[twilit sky]

I did just have a discussion about that last week here: https://github.com/EndstoneMC/endstone/pull/387

And here are the instructions on how to get it going:

[stray spoke]

Thanks a lot

I'll review this first

[crude ferry]

It's hard to tell without seeing the code.

[stray spoke]

It says there's no matching distribution

Tho it exists on the website

[twilit sky]

Does it work with Docker?

docker pull --platform linux/amd64 endstone/endstone

Then

docker run \

[ripe shale]

Could someone help me? How can I make an action trigger when I hit the air (swing without hitting anything)? Could you give me an example? Thanks!

[tidal terrace]

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

However, it does not work for mobile users.

[random flint]

The event works on mobile, you just have to map the left click of a mouse input to something like the volume button, then you can swing your arm on air.

The problem is with the vanilla touchscreen attack button, it doesn't allow you to punch the air.
-# TLDR; You're correct but I yapp anyway

[snow knoll]

Wait, you can make the right click on the air work with the volume button instead?

[crude glacier]

Guys need smol help

[crude ferry]

👀

[crude glacier]

Can you help ? @crude ferry

So , basically you know when a witch finishes drinking potion, is there an event for that to detect it ?

[crude ferry]

Witch drinks only 4 kinds of potion so I am pretty sure you just check for them yourself.

[crude glacier]

How

[crude glacier]

☠️

What event

[crude ferry]

afterEvents.effectAdd

[crude glacier]

Hmm does it work with entities?

• how to check for regeneration potion

[crude ferry]

Yes.

[crude glacier]

'-'

[crude ferry]

minecraft:instant_health

[crude glacier]

Hmmm

What ? ☠️

No i mean how to check when an entity drinks the regeneration

Potion

[crude ferry]

world.afterEvents.effectAdd.subscribe((event) => {
    const { entity, effect } = event;
    if (entity.typeId === "minecraft:witch") {
        if (WITCH_POTIONS.includes(effect.typeId)) {
            console.warn(`Witch finished drinking. Effect: ${effect.typeId}`);
        }
    }
});```

You can do something like this where WITCH_POTION is an array of every potion witch drinks.

[crude glacier]

Oh ☠️ thx very much

• can i use it to trigger a custom event in json right ?

Yes

"events" : {
"Custom:event" : {"add component" }
}

No i just want to wire js with json ☠️

[crude ferry]

Oh yes.

[crude glacier]

Oh thx you saved me much time

[crude ferry]

entity.triggerEvent()

[glacial widget]

Is it better to use world.afterEvents.entitySpawn.subscribe for Clearing items or should i stick to using functions in my tick.json that kills them. For example starter kit

[random flint]

Event Driven (EntitySpawn) is always better in performance than polling (function tick.json)

[crude glacier]

Does someone know why my entity stops holding here crossbow back when i add "minecraft:drink_potion" behaviour, is there any fix using js and events , or something i did wrong in the behaviour file ?

[dapper smelt]

[ocean escarp]

Is there a way to make damage cancel eating?

[meager zenith]

Detect both player taking damage and player eating food ( so world.beforeEvent.itemUse) and when it takes damage give the player a tag and also use system.runTimeout to remove that tag after a 1 tick, and with world.beforeEvent.itemUse, detect the tag and do event.cancel = true, so in this case you will not use event.isFirstInstance I think it's called?

[ocean escarp]

Wouldn't this only cancel the start of eating?

Never used system.runTimeout

No clue what it does lol

[snow knoll]

Its like run interval but it waits a number of ticks and does something once

[meager zenith]

It literally runs a code after the specified amount of ticks, that's it

[ocean escarp]

Ah

Also does itemUse fire the entire time an item is being used or only the beginning?

[snow knoll]

Just the beginning

[meager zenith]

I mean do you want the player completely lose the ability to eat after taking damage? Or just if they're eating and they take damage then stop eating

[ocean escarp]

Take damage = stop eating

making it be canceled

It's for a combat system I plan to make

[meager zenith]

I think it fires the entire time but there is a boolean event.isFirstEvent that'll be true only when it starts

[meager zenith]

Ya so what I described should work

[ocean escarp]

The only reason I challenge this is because a friend was using this callback and it only fired once

[meager zenith]

Let me check smth

[meager zenith]

Ok I was wrong it does just trigger only at the start

[ocean escarp]

that's my problem

Is there a startedEating callback?

[meager zenith]

No

[ocean escarp]

I was hoping to use the on start and on finish to hold a var

[distant tulip]

iirc food items do trigger itemStartUse

and item use

so just use that

and there is a consume event iirc

[crude glacier]

@distant tulip man can you hilp me

[distant tulip]

with?

[crude glacier]

With this : "Does someone know why my entity stops holding here crossbow back when i add "minecraft:drink_potion" behaviour, is there any fix using js and events , or something i did wrong in the behaviour file ?"

It is a pillager like entity

[ocean escarp]

That should be a lot easier

[distant tulip]

shouldn't you make component group if the components collide with each other

[distant tulip]

it is only for the end of eating

[crude glacier]

Is that the problem?

[distant tulip]

i would assume so, both thing require eqipment. potion or crossbow

[open urchin]

I assume when the entity is drinking a potion it replaces its held item with that potion

[crude glacier]

Ohh hmm

[ocean escarp]

Well yeah but consuming can just remove the tag while starting eating can add it

[crude glacier]

I tried using equip, equippable and the entity didn't put its cross bow back

[distant tulip]

remove the component then try

[crude glacier]

Same

[distant tulip]

well... not sure then

share your code?

[crude glacier]

The entity.json ?

Yes np

here @open urchin @distant tulip

[distant tulip]

add this to a component group

[crude glacier]

Add 1hat

[distant tulip]

?

[crude glacier]

world.afterEvents.effectAdd.subscribe((e) => {
console.log("h");
world.sendMessage("jksjqmkledqjs")
});

do i combine it with effectAdd event to trigger it and activate ranged mode ?

[distant tulip]

yeah, if we can't trigger events from that component

[crude glacier]

Hmm thank you then

[dapper smelt]

Even if it's just the log, it comes out? I use Warn.

[crude glacier]

yes

I don't know, I've always used .warn

const Vec3 = new Vetor3();
static function 1() {
const dirX = 1, dirY = 2, dirZ =3;
Vec3.set(dirX, dirY, dirZ);
}
static function 2() {
const dirX = 4, dirY = 5, dirZ =6;
Vec3.set(dirX, dirY, dirZ);
}

I have codes above, does it confict eachother?

[remote oyster]

Yes, as function 1 and function 2 can simultaneously modify Vec3. Especially if ran asynchronously.

Correct me if I'm wrong but can you define a function as a number in JavaScript? I've personally never done that before 👀

[shut citrus]

ok

that's just an example

so I gonna create a lot of new Vector3() class

for each function

[remote oyster]

If you don't want to return Vec3 and/or overwrite it since it's currently global then yes, your best option is to create a new instance within each function. Just know that it's only available within the scope of that function so you will have to return the variable if you wish to access it outside the function.

function f() {
  const v = new Vector3();
  return v;
}

const a = f();
const b = f();

a !== b // true (different instances)

With this logic you can just call f() in your other functions that need it to create a new instance of Vector3 and they won't interfere with each other as it creates a new object in memory each time, and return v just passes a reference to that specific object, not a shared one.

[ocean escarp]

How does "or" work in if conditions again?

I want to check if a damageType is 1 of 2 things

Im a bit rusty

[snow knoll]

"Or" returns true when at least 1 of 2 or more conditions is true

[ocean escarp]

can I do like

if (damageType == "fireTick" or "magic") {}

I really hope I don't have to write the check twice

if (damageType == "a") or (damageType == "b") {}

I doubt I can run it through some kind of array

Just want to compact this a little

[snow knoll]

This would work, except its a ||

[ocean escarp]

Ohh

Never seen that used before somehow

[snow knoll]

Bruh

[ocean escarp]

Im rusty, ill and running on empty

So this should work?

Also poison is magic damage right?

Or is it its own type

[snow knoll]

I can say that poison is not its own type, but don't know what it falls under

[wary edge]

You can verify yourself by logging what the damage cause is by poisoning yourself.

[ocean escarp]

I keep forgetting I can do that

I'm still tryna get good with functions

I can do em in Lua but js is still a bit iffy to me

I think I fixed it

I'm so lost.. it's treating all damage as 0.5

The else isnt running

[wary edge]

Thats not how you do the or.

damageType == 'fireTick' || damageType == 'magic'

[sharp elbow]

Logical OR operator a || b will first evaluate a, and if a is falsy then it evaluates b.

[ocean escarp]

Oh

[sharp elbow]

In an if-condition, this essentially means it will first evaluate a for being truthy and continue if so, then try evaluating b likewise

[ocean escarp]

I feel like a dumbass

[sharp elbow]

Sometimes that's the first step to true learning 🙂

[ocean escarp]

Im reteaching myself scripting after a long break

[sharp elbow]

Also curious that you're using a property on the function clampMin itself. I'd sooner expect it to return a variable. This makes the function more "pure" (without side-effects)

function clampMin(damage, damageType) {
  let finalDamage = damage;
  // ...
  return finalDamage;
}

Or heck, you could probably just return the parameter damage

[ocean escarp]

I would return damage but then it gets confused with my already existing const

I thought annotation via
function.variable
Made more sense

[sharp elbow]

It shouldn't, since the scope of your function is isolated. Any reference to damage as a parameter/variable/whatever will refer to the damage parameter you defined in the function

const damage = 5;

function clampMin(damage, damageType) {
  // Entirely separate reference than the "damage" on the first line
  damage = 3;
  return damage;
}

console.warn(damage) // 5
console.warn(clampMin(100)) // 3

[ocean escarp]

Where is the 100 coming from?

[sharp elbow]

Just some arbitrary number, it doesn't matter since I have clampMin reassigning the value anyway, for the sake of a simpler example

[ocean escarp]

I guess coming from Lua, func.var just makes more sense to me

It's easy to backtrack

Because what if I'm returning more than 1 value?

[shy leaf]

object

[sharp elbow]

But it also mutates data on the function; you could, in theory, read the value of the property var on the function outside the function. As the old adage goes, "in Javascript, everything's an Object"

[ocean escarp]

like
{3, "hello"}
?

[warm mason]

It would still be one value

[sharp elbow]

function myFunc() {
  myFunc.var = "hi";
  return myFunc.var;
}

console.warn(myFunc.var)  // undefined
console.warn(myFunc())    // "hi"
// State is now mutated, I can read this on the function
console.warn(myFunc.var)  // "hi"

[shy leaf]

technically

[ocean escarp]

Idk this just feels a lot more confusing to me

[sharp elbow]

Agreed, this is exactly what you are doing now

[ocean escarp]

Wait no, I'm so lost at both atp

maybe I shouldn't be coding while ill

Less brainpower to go around

[warm mason]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Scope

[sharp elbow]

Kinda. You could return an object literal:

function multipleReturn() {
  return {
    a: 1,
    b: 2
  };
}

const foo = multipleReturn();
// foo is an object; we can pull values from it
console.warn(foo.a)  // 1
console.warn(foo.b)  // 2

[ocean escarp]

Im just looking at this and clampMin()
Doesn't make as much logical sense to me

I can tell it would work

Oh wait...

I think I get it now

Nvm?

I don't know anymore

Im trying to put it into context of my code

[shy leaf]

when in doubt, take a rest

[warm mason]

this won't work, cuz damage is a const

[shy leaf]

overworking while ill doesnt help much

[ocean escarp]

I'm returning early just so it doesn't chat spam

[sharp elbow]

damage defined in clampMin is a separate reference from the damage defined on the first line. Look again

[ocean escarp]

I usually comment that out

[warm mason]

don't u need to use let, const or var when doing it?

[sharp elbow]

I see, you are deliberately using the mutated function state in a further assignment. Indeed, if you did the one change I am suggesting, it would break your code

[ocean escarp]

So you're saying instead of running the function standalone that I should ev.damage.clampMin()
?

These are foreign concepts to me ok, im good at simple javascript not embedded functions

[warm mason]

u can't do "Number.clampMin()", because there is no .clampMin() method

[ocean escarp]

Ok so . something() means method

Ill get there slowly

I've never heard of the term "mutating the function"

Or whatever it was

This was never a thing when I did Lua

So it's taking me a bit to understand

[sharp elbow]

Here's a more full example of the refactor I am suggesting:

world.beforeEvents.entityHurt.subscribe((ev) => {
  // Changing declaration to mutable
  let damage = ev.damage;
  const source = ev.damageSource;
  const damageType = ev.damageSource.cause;

  // applyArmor() commenting because implementation is missing

  // Reassigning the value to the returned value of the function!
  // Passing "damage" as an argument to the function
  damage = clampMin(damage, damageType);

  ev.damage = damage;
  return world.sendMessage(/* ... */)
});

function clampMin(damage, damageType) {
  if (damage <= 1) {
    if (damageType == "fireTick" || damageType == "magic") {
      damage = 0.5;
    } else {
      damage = 1;
    }
  }
  // We've modified 'damage', so let's return 'damage'
  // Nothing changes outside of this function, so this function is 'pure'
  return damage;
}

[sharp elbow]

More specifically, you are mutating the object that comes about from declaring the function. It's a weird concept—function declarations create objects at runtime, much like any other variable, that you can reassign or add properties to or remove properties from

[ocean escarp]

Oh.. I feel very stupid now

[sharp elbow]

Don't, I didn't fully examine your use-case

[ocean escarp]

No this is on me

I should do more research

[sharp elbow]

What you were doing was not wrong per se, just unconventional for typical JavaScript

[ocean escarp]

I've said this many times. I come from Lua so I guess the standards are a bit different

Is there any reason that it's not

Let damage = function(a,b)

I've had it ingrained in my brain that variable declarations need a prefix

[sharp elbow]

Variables need to be declared the first time they are used within a scope. Thereafter they exist in that scope, and depending on how you declared it, you can reassign the value for that variable

[ocean escarp]

I really should just go back and relearn js huh?
Im making so many beginner mistakes

[sharp elbow]

What's bad is my explanation is not actually consistent, just convention. Indeed, you can redeclare variables if you declared them with var:

function foo() {
  // This is perfectly fine, no errors
  var a = 1;
  var a = 2;
  return a;  // 2
}

But the same doesn't apply if you declare variables with let 🙃 That nets you a runtime error

[sharp elbow]

You certainly could write it this way too, if you go for the approach I went (using a pure function that returns a numerical value)

Like, you could write it as: let damage = clampMin(ev.damage, ev.damageSource):

[ocean escarp]

Ok so this should be good?

(Watch me fail again)

[shy leaf]

youre learning and thats why youre making beginner mistakes, its normal

i also had that phase

[ocean escarp]

This is the first time I'm using functions instead of writing everything in 1 block

Trying to get better with optimization

The only reason that applyArmor is empty rn is I don't actually have an armor to test with

[sharp elbow]

This could almost work. You declared damage as a constant, so reassignments will throw an error. Change const to let on line 4 and it should work

[ocean escarp]

Is it worth just using let as a default? It'll be a bit less optimized but will solve so many headaches early on

Working code before clean code

[sharp elbow]

Yea, nothing wrong with that. const and let share very similar rules, just that one is writable and the other is not

[jolly citrus]

yes but with a bit more experience youll intuitively likely be able to know whether or not youre gonna want a variable to be a const or not

and regardless you can change it to another type later

[ocean escarp]

Yeah thats my thought process. use let, make it work, change to const and see if it breaks

If not keep it

If yes change it back

[jolly citrus]

there's no issue with using let for everything at your stage imo

[sharp elbow]

I like to think of const as a form of self-commenting code. "This variable is not intended to change"

[jolly citrus]

yea

i didnt start using const until i switched to TS

[ocean escarp]

My brain sees const as "does not change" but yet its used in a callback with variable outcomes

So it's a little confusing at times

[jolly citrus]

no that's different

changing here means mutating

[shy leaf]

tbh i think ive rarely used let recently

[jolly citrus]

but when a callback returns the value it's been initialized to be that very value

it doesnt change later

by itself

[ocean escarp]

Oh so const means
"For this function's iteration, this value is fixed and does not change contexts"

[jolly citrus]

idk what this function's iteration means but yea i guess

[ocean escarp]

Take damage: iteration 1
Take damage again: iteration 2

[jolly citrus]

oh

[sharp elbow]

No; function parameters exist as part of the declaration. I'm sure you've worked with them before; I expect the only confusing concept is which value damage should refer to, and that comes down to variable shadowing

[ocean escarp]

You can hyperlink in discord messages now?

[jolly citrus]

youve been able to for quite a while

lol

[ocean escarp]

The more you know

[sharp elbow]

Yup; [text to hyperlink](URL to link to)

[jolly citrus]

select some text then paste a link

[jolly citrus]

or that

[ocean escarp]

Good to know

[distant tulip]

if you have a link copied and you pasted it while selecting a text it auto does that

[sharp elbow]

It does, I just like having more control. Especially since I prefer disabling the embeds, which I do with angled brackets (<URL>), and pasting over text means I have to navigate back and add them in more tediously

[distant tulip]

ah, yeah

[jolly citrus]

when im debugging scripts where do i see the table of how long each function took to run

[ocean escarp]

Native property setter cannot be assigned null?

Where is it getting null from

Is it because 1 of my functions isn't returning?

Ok yeah that was it

I like formatting stuff

Nested functions are a thing in Js right?

[jolly citrus]

functions inside other functions?

[ocean escarp]

Cause to apply armor I would need to getArmorValue()

[jolly citrus]

why would they not be

[ocean escarp]

Im writing a custom armor system that'll be used for all future custom armors (I plan to replace all the originals eventually)

Tho there isn't really much I can do until I create custom armor

[sharp elbow]

They exist, but know that it means JavaScript must re-declare the function each time the parent function is called. It would be more performant to move the code out if possible

[ocean escarp]

It sucks we haven't got an eating callback

It's just minecraft:food right?

[jolly citrus]

there is an event for that

not for eating specifically but item interaction end

i forgot the exact name but it should be in the docs it's an afterevent

[ocean escarp]

Im trying to add a tag while the player is eating so I can cancel it if hit

[open urchin]

for players eating, the itemStart/StopUse events would work

[ocean escarp]

But is there an event I can even cancel to stop the action midway?

I don't think there is an "itemUsing"

[shut citrus]

Is it similar to const f = () => new Vector3() ?

[ocean escarp]

How would I even check if a component exists?

I know you can grab the data of a component

I remember seeing something similar to this

But idk the exact formatting of it

[remote oyster]

Yes, both essentially do the same. One is simply an arrow function and the other isn't. They both have their purpose and behavior. In this case it's your choice.

[ocean escarp]

Apparently golden carrots are not food

[open urchin]

the food component only exists for data-driven items, for most vanilla items you'll need to check that the item either has the minecraft:is_food tag or that its identifier is minecraft:glow_berries (glow berries don't have the food tag for some reason)

[ocean escarp]

Thanks

[ocean escarp]

Now I just have to figure out how to cancel itemuse mid use

[subtle cove]

perhaps try this ;-;

[ocean escarp]

I would need to save all the itemstack data no?

[subtle cove]

the itemStack itself is already the cloned one

[snow knoll]

You could just wait until the next tick the player eats that piece of food

[ocean escarp]

Well yeah but itemUse only fires once at the beginning

If it was a constant event while use was being held it would be way easier to cancel

[subtle cove]

itemStartUse

[ocean escarp]

Yeah this won't let me cancel it

I might have a way

But it depends if I can access something

No luck

[subtle cove]

change the source.selectedSlotIndex = s ? s-1 : s+1 then change it back if u want

world.afterEvents.itemStartUse.subscribe((e) => {
    const s = e.source.selectedSlotIndex;
    e.source.selectedSlotIndex = s ? s - 1 : s + 1;
    system.runTimeout(() => (e.source.selectedSlotIndex = s), 2);
});```

or move it to an empty one, or transfer the item

[crude ferry]

What do you mean lol?

If you mean what I think you do,
You can by:

Number.prototype.double = function() {
  return this * 2;
}```

Then you can do console.log((5).double());

[lethal lichen]

i think they meant a function identifier being a number

functions themselves can't since the grammar doesn't accept it, but with methods you could do that

e.g.

class A {
    1() {}
}
new A()[1]();

internally it gets inferred as a string property of the object, so it's valid

[lyric kestrel]

I thought they meant

function 1(){
  return 1

}```

[lethal lichen]

wouldn't be valid :p

[lyric kestrel]

ik

[ocean escarp]

I have an idea what if it moves randomly left or right if you get hit while eating?

There isn't really better alternative, unless changing the slot contents for a single gametick doesnt cause a flicker

[remote oyster]

No, because what I'm referring to is declaring a function with a name and that name being a literal number and what you are doing is assigning a function as a property value on an object.

[ocean escarp]

is this a real thing?

target.selectedSlot.itemStack

[warm mason]

no

You should check the documentation before using properties or methods of API classes

or install the server module

[ocean escarp]

The problem im not trying to grab this value from the event data as the thing I'm triggering it on usually doesn't care about itemStack

Im just not sure how the grab the itemStack outside of event data

[warm mason]

entity.getComponent('equippable').getEquipment('Mainhand')

[ocean escarp]

Oh.. well I sure feel stupidn

[thorn flicker]

where did you get this from

[ocean escarp]

I just assumed that since selectedSlotIndex existed that the data would too in a similar variable

[warm mason]

that's why the documentation exists

[thorn flicker]

dont assume

theres docs

yeah

[ocean escarp]

I need to save this data as im going to have to reconstruct this itemStack

Im not a big fan of the slot change implementation to force the cancellation of the eating action

So I'm going to remove the item and then reconstruct it

If there was a simpler way I'd use it trust me

[honest spear]

yea but you can't do that afaik

for(let i of 256)
  console.log(i);

[lethal lichen]

yeah but numbers don't have iterators

[honest spear]

you can change that

[lethal lichen]

i mean yeah, just override the prototype, i meant by default

[honest spear]

Yes sir!!

anyway

I get more of funny stuff thats possible

let me dig up that specific JS snippets i test ppl with lol

[ocean escarp]

Am I blind or does itemStack not have a remove method?

[honest spear]

10. Implement a function named range that can be used in the following expression:
    for (let i in range(10)) console.log(i);
    Your goal is to ensure the function produces the expected output of numbers from 0 to 9.

Bonus: Try to achieve this without allocating O(n) keys in objects or array elements.

11. Implement a class or function named ExampleClass that enables the following code to work as expected:

const object = new ExampleClass(); 
object.onLoad += logHello; 
object.trigger(); 
object.onLoad -= logHello; 
object.trigger();
function logHello() {
      console.log("Hello World");  
} 

Your goal is to allow event handling for onLoad, where logHello can be added and removed dynamically. Ensure that calling trigger() executes the currently assigned event handlers.

the first one is pretty easy

[ocean escarp]

@thorn flicker apologies for the ping but I'm looking at jayly's docs but there doesn't seem to be a remove method for itemStacks?

[thorn flicker]

you just leave the itemStack argument empty

its optional

if left blank, it'll replace it with nothing

[ocean escarp]

I left it blank and it threw an error

[thorn flicker]

leave the itemStack argument of the setEquipment blank.

[ocean escarp]

No errors but it's not doing anything either

Maybe I just ditch this feature

[wary edge]

setEquipment(slot, undefined)

[thorn flicker]

no difference

[ocean escarp]

Worth a shot at least

typeError: not a function

At least it's a new error

[distant tulip]

you are calling the function on the target, not the component

[thorn flicker]

oh shit

[ocean escarp]

Am I stupid??

Genuinely

[random flint]

yesn't

[distant tulip]

nah, it happens

[thorn flicker]

I wouldn't say that

[ocean escarp]

so
target.getComponent(). setEquipment()

[thorn flicker]

yes

[distant tulip]

save the component to a variable so you are not calling it two times

[ocean escarp]

It'll still be 2 lines regardless

The definition takes 1 line

[thorn flicker]

either way storing it in a variable would make the code look cleaner

imo

[random flint]

Fewer API call is more performance (especially when you're doing it on a runInterval)

[ocean escarp]

Let me see if it works first then I'll change it

[thorn flicker]

you already have the equippable component stored

just make another variable for the item

[ocean escarp]

I just hope my system in general will work smoothly

[distant tulip]

he doesn't

[thorn flicker]

itemInfo...

[ocean escarp]

Yup it disappears

[random flint]

he use it to get itemstacks

[thorn flicker]

I know?

[ocean escarp]

If I re-add it in the same tick it would just continue to eat no?

[thorn flicker]

get rid of the getEquipment and make a new variable

what I mean is, its already in the variable

[ocean escarp]

Im trying to cancel the eat action as smoothly as possible

Hotbar slot switching looked odd

[thorn flicker]

im not saying it returns the equippable class

[ocean escarp]

Im hoping removing and re-adding the item will be cleaner

[thorn flicker]

const equip = target.getComponent('equippable')
const item = equip.getEquipment('Mainhand')

equip.setEquipment('Mainhand')

[distant tulip]

let damageType = ev.damageSource.cause

damage = applyArmor(damage, damageType)
damage = clampMin(damage, damageType)

ev.damage = damage

system.run(() => {
    if (target.hasTag("verarc:is_eating")) {
        let slot = target.selectedSlotIndex
        const equippable = target.getComponent("equippable")
        let itemInfo = equippable.getEquipment("Mainhand")
        // world.sendMessage(itemInfo.toString())
        equippable.setEquipment("Mainhand", undefined)

        return
    }

    slot = slot ? slot - 1 : slot + 1

    system.run(() => {
        target.selectedSlotIndex = slot
        system.run(() => {
            target.selectedSlotIndex = slot + 1
        })
    })
})

[thorn flicker]

yeah... which I was suggesting

[ocean escarp]

Anything past return was an old method

I wish itemUse fired constantly while held

[distant tulip]

you were wrong when saying he had it stored 🤷‍♂️

[ocean escarp]

Would make this 10x easier

[thorn flicker]

I explained it wrong.

sure.

[distant tulip]

what are you trying to do

[ocean escarp]

Cancel eating midway through

[wary edge]

itemStartUse?

[ocean escarp]

Only fires on the first tick

[lethal lichen]

yea first one isn't too bad, i did some cursed decorator stuff before so it was obvious

function range(length: number) {
    return new Proxy({}, {
        ownKeys() {
            return Array.from({ length }, (_, i) => i.toString());
        },
        getOwnPropertyDescriptor() {
            return {
                enumerable: true,
                configurable: true,
            };
        },
    });
}
for (const i in range(10)) console.log(i);

2nd one is a bit tough, maybe i could do some symbol stuff

[wary edge]

Then check for itemStopUse?

itemStartUse->logic->itemStopUse->stop logic

[thorn flicker]

yeah im currently doing this for my full auto weapon.

[honest spear]

no O(1) solution? 👀 if you use arrays you don't even need the proxy

[ocean escarp]

I've got a variable for whether or not they are eating

[honest spear]

but you are on right way

[ocean escarp]

That much is done but you can't cancel a var

[lethal lichen]

i wanted to do Proxy for the funsies :p

[ocean escarp]

It's supposed to be taking any kind of damage interrupts eating

but there isn't an event I can cancel to stop the eating action midway

Hence why I'm trying hacky solutions

[lethal lichen]

hmm, don't think it's possible to have O(1), at least not without generators which you can't use in for-in

[honest spear]

It is possible ands its really claver way to do that

[lethal lichen]

i'm guessing it's without generators then

[honest spear]

yea pretty much

[ocean escarp]

Wait this comes with its own set of problems

It can accidentally delete items if you switch slots on the same tick as you take damage

Maybe the hotbar switch was better..

I cant think of any other actions that could cause a player to stop eating

Well I can think of 1 but I don't think scripts can touch it

Nevermind

[lethal lichen]

was thinking Array(length).fill(0) but that's still O(n) xD

[lethal lichen]

i'm reading through the for...in spec but doesn't seem like anything will help

[ocean escarp]

Sprunkles could you help me out with a slight alteration to my code?

[sharp elbow]

Sure. Assume I have read none of the chat history for two hours

[ocean escarp]

This current part after the return handles switching hotbar slots to an adjacent 1, however I want to randomise the direction if not on either of the edges

ignore the 2nd system.run

That was to test if it looked good snapping back

(it didn't)

[sharp elbow]

I would write a function for the modulo operation. This lets you perform division on two numbers, then take the remainder.

function mod(a, b) {
  return ((a % b) + b) % b;
}

// ... inside your event
{
  // Pick either -1 or 1
  const direction = Math.sign(Math.random() - 0.5);
  // Divide the slot index by 9, take the remainder
  // number in range of 0..8, perfectly valid for hotbar slots
  slot = mod(slot + direction, 9)
}

[ocean escarp]

Im trying to understand how this works logically

A modulo of a / b is this not rather complex for picking 1 or -1?

[sharp elbow]

Well, for picking -1 or 1 is on a step handled separately. That's what the expression Math.sign(Math.random() - 0.5) does

We're rolling a random number in the range (0, 1], subtracting 0.5 to make the range (-0.5, 0.5], then taking the sign of that number. It's a nearly perfect 50/50 split between -1 and 1 (with an infinitesimally small chance of returning 0)

The modulo operation is being used here so the slot that we pick stays within the bounds of 0..8 (for slots 1..9)

[ocean escarp]

isnt there a function to randomly pick from an enum?

[sharp elbow]

From an enum; can you elaborate? That could mean a number of different things

[ocean escarp]

An enum is a collection of set values you can choose from no? Or maybe my illness is clouding my memory

[sharp elbow]

I agree on that definition, but there are several different implementations for enums. Most nefarious of all being a TypeScript enum

[ocean escarp]

Im only familiar with the standard definition

I'm still tryna figure out what

slot = slot ? slot - 1 : slot + 1

Actually does

Well I know what but not how

[sharp elbow]

What it does plainly might not follow what you expect. If slot is truthy (in the case of numbers, a non-0 value), then we return slot - 1, or otherwise slot + 1

[ocean escarp]

ah so that means 1+ always goes down and 0 always goes up

slot is just the indexId in this scenario which I guess does make sense

[sharp elbow]

function assignSlot(slot) {
  return slot ? slot - 1 : slot + 1;
}

assignSlot(0)   // 1
assignSlot(1)   // 0
assignSlot(2)   // 1
assignSlot(3)   // 2
// Negative numbers are also truthy
assignSlot(-1)  // -2

[ocean escarp]

so I guess I can replace slot + 1 with slot + math.round(randInt(-1, 1)) or equivalent unless slot = 8

[sharp elbow]

If slot == 8, then it's possible it assigns to 9, which would be out of range. Similarly, if slot == 0, then it's possible it assigns to -1, which is also out of range

[ocean escarp]

0 wouldn't work cause of truthy no?

I might have the equation on the wrong end

[sharp elbow]

Ah, you meant if you replaced only the false condition in the ternary, I misread. Then yeah, I suppose it would

Although now that you're adding more branching logic, it becomes less clear at a glance what it's doing, as there's more cases to consider and more code to read. I like the modulus approach since the function handles wrapping for us:

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/qsavch6k2a

[ocean escarp]

if (slot = 8) {
slot = slot - 1
return 
}
slot = slot ? slot - math.round(rand(-1, 1)) : slot + 1

[ocean escarp]

Im trying to avoid wrapping as it looks unclean

[sharp elbow]

If you're having the player's slot change, wrapping is a natural consequence, no? If I scroll past slot 9, I end up on slot 1; that's not unexpected, at least to me

[ocean escarp]

I also just realized that math.round does not work here as values can round to 0 resulting in movement

[ocean escarp]

While true this condition is not controlled directly by the player and I would like to avoid the player having to scan both sides of their hotbar to see where their "cursor" ended up

[sharp elbow]

Fair

[ocean escarp]

I need an alternative to round that will always round away from 0

0.002 -> 1
-0.31 -> -1

[sharp elbow]

I'd probably write it this way then:

if (slot == 8) {
  slot = slot - 1;
}
else {
  const push = Math.sign(Math.random() - 0.5) || 1;
  slot = slot ? slot + push : slot + 1;
}

[ocean escarp]

Can you explain math.sign to me? never used it and I would like to understand what I write

[sharp elbow]

Yup. The sign function returns the signed value of a number:

• If < 0, return -1
• If > 0, return 1
• If 0, depends (some implementations return 0, some 1)

[ocean escarp]

Oh so like exactly the function I was looking for

[sharp elbow]

Quite nice, eh? haha

[ocean escarp]

How many dp does math.random go to?

[sharp elbow]

Sorry, DP?

[ocean escarp]

Decimal places

[sharp elbow]

Ah. Well numbers in JavaScript are 64-bit floating point values; that might not have an exact answer, since that depends on how close to 0 the resulting number is. But it has a fair amount of precision in that range

[ocean escarp]

Just was wondering the chances on rolling exactly 0

[sharp elbow]

Really, really, really small. Infinitesimally small

[ocean escarp]

This also handles for that edge case right?

Imagine if I gave them a diamond for being that ungodly lucky lol

[sharp elbow]

Aye, if it does roll 0 for whatever reason, my example uses the OR operator to evaluate it to another value.

As a simpler example, Math.random() || 0.5 will return a random number in the range [0, 1], with any 0 rolls turning to 0.5

[ocean escarp]

Well I appreciate the help

This should finally be a functioning cancel system

Yep it works

Eating gets cancelled by taking damage

And it actually is a tiny bit punishing

What's is the and operator again?

I need to exclude 2 damage types

It's just && right?

[sharp elbow]

Yup, a && b

[ocean escarp]

Ty

Cause I don't think fire / poison should prevent gapple usage

[sharp elbow]

Maybe starvation damage too

[ocean escarp]

Honestly thanks for the catch there

Maybe I should just create an array

Cause wither is it's own damage type too

[sharp elbow]

You definitely could. Though it would be good to delcare the array outside of the function, so the game isn't building a new one every time you or any other entity takes damage

[ocean escarp]

I have no clue what to call these

1 is all types that don't cancel eating and the other is all types that get a reduced damage floor

Actually tbh they're probably the same

[sharp elbow]

When in doubt, super long variable names: eating_cancel_ignored_damage_types

[ocean escarp]

special_damage_types

[sharp elbow]

And if you're still unsure about the name, you could always add a docstring above it, so you know what it is used for

[ocean escarp]

True

I think this is good

Now I gotta figure out how to implement this

If the damage type is not in the list. Cancel eat

[sharp elbow]

Any solution would involve iterating the array. You have many different solutions at your disposal for that; probably the simplest is using the includes() method.

[ocean escarp]

if array.includes(damageType) ?

[sharp elbow]

Yup, pretty much

[ocean escarp]

So I gotta flip it

I don't think js has unless?

[sharp elbow]

Can you give an example?

[ocean escarp]

unless (conditions) {}

[sharp elbow]

I suppose you could use logical negation. if (!condition) {}

[ocean escarp]

I think that should work?

[sharp elbow]

Aye; if it is any of those damage types, then the condition fails

[ocean escarp]

Well I've ran into a bug

Sometimes the slot changes but not visibility on the hotbar

[sharp elbow]

Hm. I'm guessing it's a client–server desync

[ocean escarp]

I am using system.run instead of system.runTimeout(code, 2)

That don't look like a gap

[crude ferry]

No that isn't possible then.

Identifier cannot start with a digit.
Even:

function 1add () {

}```isn't valid.

[stray spoke]

I guess just add a prototype to Number class

Tho it works on all numbers

Nvm it didn't work

[crude ferry]

It does work lol?

Did you use an arrow function? They do not have this. (At least, they do not have this of their own.)

[subtle cove]

we discussing cursed js...

[crude ferry]

Oh well.

[shut citrus]

how to get blocks break duration or detect how soft blocks are?

[cerulean cliff]

can we not translate the result message of custom commands?

https://klipy.com/gifs/sad-mario-2--k01KQVCS18X1GN2Y2ZK8BYA8AGC

[shy leaf]

you should be able to

if you just directly use translation key

well, at least thats how it is with description

[subtle cove]

tried this, and it works js return { status: CustomCommandStatus.Failure, message: `${origin.sourceEntity.name} failed to %gui.confirm` }

[cerulean cliff]

I need to pass extra translation args in

oh well

time to put yet another thing onto the weirdo list

[shy leaf]

this is probably why its not done with RawMessage or something

you register a custom command at the start of world(server) which cant be changed later on

[cerulean cliff]

but like that should be fine for a command result

the client gets a raw message that it translates itself

[shy leaf]

at least it works this way i guess

[cerulean cliff]

yeah

oh well
