[cerulean cliff]

btw cool pfp

thought it was an anime girl for a second

[shy leaf]

i guess its a slightly inconvenient way to do rawmessage

[shy leaf]

bro

dude

dawg

brother

[cerulean cliff]

I WEAR BIG ASS GLASSES

[cerulean cliff]

its a bit weird

[mystic harness]

Is there a way to summon fireworks? the ones that explode with colors

[woven loom]

How can I detect when an armor stand loads with the world so I can run a function on it?

[distant tulip]

entityLoad?

[woven loom]

doesnt work

nvm it does

i was testing with reload

[mystic harness]

i tried player.extinguishFire when lightning bolt strikes but seems like i have to delay it a little bit just to extinguish. i tried also to use entityHurt before event but still player kept burning when near the lightning bolt. is there a way to be completely immune by it

[stray spoke]

Add fire resistance effect for a short time

then summon lightning bolt

[meager zenith]

Lightning has its own damage type, so you can detect that with before Hurt and apply fire resistance for a few ticks

Or you can detect lightning spawning using entity Spawn and if the location is within the player's range, you just give the player fire res

[mystic harness]

ight thanks

[crude glacier]

Huh

[ocean escarp]

Does that "for" method work again?

for (i in var) {
//Output
}

[unique apex]

is there a way to list all dynamic properties/iterate through them?

[crude ferry]

"Work again" ?

[ocean escarp]

As in, I forgot how the syntax goes

[crude ferry]

player.getDynamicPropertyIds().forEach((id) => {
    const value = player.getDynamicProperty(id);
  });```

[ocean escarp]

I'm trying to apply some default values on world load

[shy leaf]

there isnt a direct way but you can get an array of DP ids with .getDynamicPropertyIds()

and then

oh efficient was faster

[crude ferry]

That's why they call me "efficient".

[shy leaf]

i also was about to make that joke too

[crude ferry]

lol.

[shy leaf]

you really are efficient

[unique apex]

thanks

[sharp elbow]

There are a few variants of for loops.

You have the C-style for loop, which executes a series of statements:

for (initialization; condition; per-update expression) {
  // ... Loop body
}

for (let i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
  console.warn(i);
}

You have the for..in loop, which iterates over the enumerable properties in an object:

const foo = {
  a: 1,
  b: 2,
};
for (const key in foo) {
  console.warn(key, foo[key]);
}

You have the for..of loop, which follows the iteration protocol and is generally far more flexible:

const data = new Map([
  ["hi", 1],
  ["there", 2],
]);

// data is a Map; Map implements the iterator protocol
// datum takes on a tuple of [key, value]
for (const datum of data) {
  console.warn(datum[0], datum[1]);
}

[ocean escarp]

Which do you think makes the most sense for assigning default values before they are used?

[sharp elbow]

Can you provide an example of how that'd play into a for-loop?

[ocean escarp]

Do you know Lua? Cause I can probably do direct translation

[crude ferry]

Kind of a vague question but as a vague answer: C style for loop. It gives you the most control.

[sharp elbow]

I don't know Lua, but I can probably piece together what the effect is

[ocean escarp]

for i,v in ipairs[#var] do
setDynamicProperty("v.property", defaultVal)
end

I'm quite a bit rusty

So apologies there

[unique apex]

what is that

[ocean escarp]

basic Lua

[unique apex]

ew

[ocean escarp]

I used it as an example as I don't know the js equivalent yet

[unique apex]

what does it do

[ocean escarp]

Loop through all of an array and assigns each a value

Trying to do a set default thing

[unique apex]

trying to write this tells me im still a beginner lol

you can access any value at array[i] and you can increment i

[ocean escarp]

Specific usecase here is giving very player a default value for several properties

[unique apex]

oh i see so you want to set properties for every player

the array being a list of players

[ocean escarp]

Yup

world.getAllPlayers()
returns an array iirc

[unique apex]

and you have a second array of objects to set properties and values?

[ocean escarp]

Most of them will be the same
default attack bonus = 0
default parry limit = 2
Etc.

[unique apex]

one sec

    allPlayers.forEach(player => {
        player.setdynamicproperty....
    })```

this is what i use in a custom party system

[ocean escarp]

That should work yeah

Thanks

Yeah

[unique apex]

can I access a furnace's inventory using scripts?

const container = getBlock(vector3).getComponent("inventory").container;
would this work?

[snow knoll]

You could always ✨ check to see if it works ✨

On a serious note, it should, but the point above still stands 🙃

[unique apex]

yeah real

[sharp elbow]

Relevant URL: https://tryitands.ee

[snow knoll]

Love seeing this
Gonna pin the link to my clipboard

Also, Is the velocity that projectiles are shot at with the projectile.shoot() method measured in seconds or ticks?

[wary edge]

Pretty sure its the same as what entities use.

[snow knoll]

I checked one of the sites with the documentation, and it didn't even tell me 😭

I was originally going to ask this in #1067869022273667152 but came here since I was going to shoot it with scripts anyways

[sharp elbow]

I suspect it is blocks/tick, like applyImpulse

[snow knoll]

Wait, applyImpulse is blocks per tick?
Been wondering for like, a year plus

[sharp elbow]

I sure hope it is. Otherwise I have made some very incorrect assumptions

[snow knoll]

Loll

[near siren]

Anyone know of a plugin in vscode for bedrock scripting?

[fallen cape]

Do you mean autocompletions? If yes, you just need to install nodejs and then in your project install the modules with npm

[near siren]

Oh wow I completely forgot about that

Thank you

[honest spear]

my bad

[crude ferry]

It is blocks/tick. I couldn't find it in any documentation but a few experiments can easily tell you that.

[wicked girder]

Anything cool made with custom dimensions? 👀

[stray spoke]

Isn't it only in preview

[fading furnace]

not much we can do yet but if you gave this more time it would generate a psudeo biome thing

[knotty plaza]

The latest update added it to the current beta API

[stray spoke]

Noice

I'm still waiting for it to be stable

[ocean escarp]

Can you not force typing with Js
I think what I was trying to do is a typescript thing but It would be nice to do in Js too

figured out why my former was broken but pretty sure I can't assign types strictly

[twilit sky]

No, JavaScript doesn't know about types - only TypeScript does.

Also, is there a reason why you're taking pictures instead of pasting it into a codeblock? I've had a look at your previous messages, and I did see that you were taking pictures because your PC doesn't have Wi-Fi - is that still the case?

[wicked girder]

Nice, Im just curious how people are gonna generate chunks

[ocean escarp]

Still doesnt

Atp I don't see a reason to upgrade my PC until the release of the steam machine which will likely replace it for the most part anyways due to existence of desktop mode

How would I grab the product of all player's velocity?

because unless XYZ are all 0 that means players are moving

[subtle cove]

oh boi

[twilit sky]

I'm confused as to what you're asking here. By all players, do you mean all of the XYZ velocity components of one player, or every single player?

[ocean escarp]

Of 1

[subtle cove]

the code is tempting me to edit, sadly it's a pic;-;

[ocean escarp]

Trust me I wish I could send normally

But it's way too tedious

Can you pick out the error cause content log is going crazy.

Something about not a function at line 18

There isn't even a function at line 18

[twilit sky]

Slightly difficult to do when the line numbers are cut out of the picture. From what I do see, you have PLAYERS assigned to a function, not the function's output.

const PLAYERS = world.getAllPlayers --> const PLAYERS = world.getAllPlayers()

[subtle cove]

in script-api, never put the methods in variables```js
const getPlayers = world.getAllPlayers //bad habit with variables, unless advanced

const players = world.getAllPlayers() //practice this often
```

[ocean escarp]

whoops

World.getAllPlayers cannot be used in early execution

well that sucks

[subtle cove]

since most methods are bound to their instance, calling such methods would throw bound errors

[ocean escarp]

Should I just change all instances of PLAYERS to the value and forgo defining it?

[subtle cove]

use it inside the function

[ocean escarp]

I don't expect it to work instantly as I have a placeholder for something I don't know how works yet

[subtle cove]

i'd still suggest ```js
system.runInterval(() => {
for (const player of world.getAllPlayers()) {

}

});```

[ocean escarp]

Can you not call functions inside a class?

[subtle cove]

can

[twilit sky]

Alternatively, if there isn't anything that needs to run immediately in that file, you could delay importing that file:

system.run(() => {
    import './scriptFile.js'
})

[subtle cove]

u can call any function anywhere

[ocean escarp]

It's telling me it's not a function

raceHandler.rollRace()
class.function()

[subtle cove]

oh, that

[twilit sky]

Would I be correct to assume that you can't install TypeScript, and the API typings, due to the PC not having Wi-Fi?

[ocean escarp]

I don't like typescript

The only part about it that I like is that setter thing

[subtle cove]

class RaceHandler {
    static races = new Map()
    constructor(name, stats) {}
    rollRace(player) {}
}

const race = new RaceHandler("test", {});
race.rollRace(player)

RaceHandler.races

[winged drift]

//@ts-check would be an option

[subtle cove]

the static part is where the class' properties are, while the non-static ones are in its instance

[subtle cove]

if u downloaded em, they should work regardless of internet

[ocean escarp]

Im still tryna figure out why I can't grab the player's nametag

[subtle cove]

r u sure the players array has players?

[ocean escarp]

Tryna find out what it's returning

[twilit sky]

There's player.name, and player.nameTag. nameTag is the more general one for entities, and name is the actual username.

[ocean escarp]

Ah..

Ok that's so much better

[subtle cove]

o k, i need u to install this extension

[ocean escarp]

Now I just need the product of the player's velocity to test if it's non-zero

[twilit sky]

It's also a string already. You don't need to call toString() on it.

[ocean escarp]

I already have it

[ocean escarp]

I like to be safe

[ocean escarp]

I don't use that much

[subtle cove]

i use this with it

[ocean escarp]

Also player.getVelocity() returns an object with 3 vectors right?

Is there a shorthand to multiply them all together?

[subtle cove]

other than custom functions or commons lib, no

[twilit sky]

The function signature is getVelocity(): Vector3

Vector3 is just a plain JavaScript object - there are no methods for it.

[twilit sky]

There is a helper library by the development team - you'll need to bundle it if you want to use it though: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@minecraft/math

[remote oyster]

Safe is one thing but unnecessary calls eventually becomes a performance problem as your code expands.

[ocean escarp]

I'll clean through it later

I've ran into a problem

multiplying all the values together does nothing because as long as 1 is 0 that'll become 0

11 x 3 x 0 = 0

I can't divide because uh.. well you try telling a computer to divide by 0

[twilit sky]

What exactly is it that you're trying to do with the velocity? By product, do you mean magnitude?

[ocean escarp]

Trying to check for the first instance of a player moving

I've noticed if I do stuff like player spawn that people won't get to see what race they got assigned because they're still loading in

[subtle cove]

more like magnitude

Math.sqrt(v.x ** 2 + v.y ** 2 + v.z ** 2);

[cold grove]

Math hypot

👀

[ocean escarp]

If there was a version that didn't rely on velocity I would use it

[remote oyster]

You basically are checking for afk status

[twilit sky]

😨 😨 I'll let you handle the maths! I don't want anymore nightmares!

[ocean escarp]

I only need to do it once

[lyric kestrel]

Is there not an event for after the player spawned and loaded in?

[subtle cove]

dw, im just copy pasting stuff

[remote oyster]

There is but they aren't always loaded.

[lyric kestrel]

Ahh

Rip

[ocean escarp]

It's just to say
"HEY! it seems this is your first time here, let's roll your race and see what you got!"

[lyric kestrel]

Could do a server.runTimeout(()=>{}, 600)

[ocean escarp]

Im doing an origins-inspired addon

[lyric kestrel]

so it waits

[ocean escarp]

What if they're really laggy?

[twilit sky]

For first time, the player spawn event might be pretty useful, as you can check if it's the first spawn: https://learn.microsoft.com/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/playerspawnafterevent#initialspawn

[lyric kestrel]

Yeah, but someone said that it can still fire even when someone isn't fully loaded

[ocean escarp]

Im aware of this but player spawn happens before you're fully loaded in iirc

[lyric kestrel]

Like their character could spawn in game, but they might be seeing the loading screen still

[subtle cove]

||spam 1 form show||

[lyric kestrel]

But, you should just be able to do a timeout

[ocean escarp]

This is the exact issue I'm trying to combat

[lyric kestrel]

As characters finishing spawning usually occurs not long before the loading is complete, no?

[ocean escarp]

1 thing I know can't happen before they get initialised is they gain velocity

[twilit sky]

When I had a server, I ended up going with the alternate route of having an NPC greet players. Plus this was more memorable.

[ocean escarp]

Just gonna run on first move

[lyric kestrel]

Also, do this

Have a form show on their screen that they can just click away when they've read it

[ocean escarp]

Just feels clunky

[lyric kestrel]

It seems like the simplest solution

And the best atm

It will remove away from your issue of players still loading

[ocean escarp]

So would a vel check

I still don't know why my function is saying its not a function

should I just not use classes?

[twilit sky]

Which part is it?

[ocean escarp]

I haven't returned anything yet cause I'm still trying to figure that part out but I'm just doing raceHandler.rollRace(player)

[twilit sky]

What line exactly is the error coming up on?

[ocean escarp]

Not a function

[twilit sky]

Oh, it's because that's an instance method. You need to create the raceHandler first.

[fading furnace]

they’re probably going to need to add a built in generator, a way for us to modify it too

[ocean escarp]

Can you translate to English?

This is literally my first time using classes

[twilit sky]

This message describes it well

[ocean escarp]

I have to create a map now???

Honestly might just go back to basic functions

If the aesthetics of the code come at this level of tediousness

[twilit sky]

-# Perhaps not 😨
You just need to create the raceHandler before calling rollRace on it:

Something like

const race = new raceHandler("name", {})
race.rollRace(val)

[ocean escarp]

Oh it's an order issue..

I guess I could just drag my class to the top

????

[twilit sky]

Order issue?

[subtle cove]

imagine the class as a template

[ocean escarp]

Same thing as running a Lua function before it's initialised in code

[subtle cove]

create an instance using new

then u can use it's non-static properties/methods

[ocean escarp]

Dragging my class to the top means it'll be created first?

[subtle cove]

doesnt matter

[ocean escarp]

So JS isn't order based

It doesnt read code from top to bottom

[subtle cove]

class is available/reachable same as functions

[ocean escarp]

I could put my import at the end of the file and it would still work

[twilit sky]

Not too sure about that, as I've never tried. Do tell me if it does work if you do end up testing that.

[subtle cove]

if ur not using any related properties (e.g. name, stats) in the rollrace, put```js
static rollRace(player)

then ur code should work as u want em

[ocean escarp]

I think I'll go back to functions.. classes are confusing as hell

The tutorial I watched mentioned nothing about this

Besides are classes even needed for anything when nested functions exist?

Just seems like complexity for the sake of complexity

[subtle cove]

for shared properties, it is very usueful

[wary edge]

OOP is useful in certain scenarios.

[twilit sky]

Good for saving data, and for bigger projects. I use them a lot for when data needs to persist. Have a look at my GitHub profile and go through some of the projects there if you're interested.

[subtle cove]

its a lot to take with such object specifics

[cold grove]

Theyre hoisted

https://adequatelygood.com/JavaScript-Scoping-and-Hoisting.html

[ocean escarp]

I just don't understand why if I create a class I now have to call it in 7 different locations before I can use it, instead of just doing

class.function

[subtle cove]

class.function would need class{static function(){}}

[ocean escarp]

Lua habits yet again I guess

[cold grove]

?

[remote oyster]

You can instantiate the class then export it and use it in other places as needed. Just have to decide if you want one instance or multiple instances and make sure the class handles that accordingly.

[cold grove]

You can make your constructor private

[ocean escarp]

I guess classes just do something different than I originally thought

[cold grove]

If it just hosts static methods

[ocean escarp]

I thought they were just like bigger functions

[twilit sky]

Entities and players are considered classes in the API, as well as the events. There can be several instances of each.

[ocean escarp]

Then you can see why I thought that
Classes
» vars
» methods / functions

hence why I thought you just went down the chain
class.method(args)

[cold grove]

For objects they are properties and methods

[remote oyster]

That's typescript. In JavaScript you would have to simulate it which goes back to what I suggested.

[ocean escarp]

I guess this works?????

It'll be 2040 before I fully get this tho

my current usecase doesn't use any of the class' data

It doesn't need a name or the stats of anything

[twilit sky]

If your current usecase doesn't need classes, then it might be better to just not use them. Classes are another layer of abstraction that are supposed to make things less confusing.

You'd want to use them when you end up having too many functions, and it doesn't seem like you're at that point yet.

[cold grove]

And do you need a class for??

[ocean escarp]

I wanted to understand them better so that when they do end up being needed that I would be ready

But are they really ever needed over nested functions?

[twilit sky]

Here are some classes in WorldEdit's code, as an example: https://github.com/SIsilicon/WorldEdit-BE/blob/master/src/library/classes/playerBuilder.ts

[subtle cove]

for specific instances, yes

sample would be for every group of players

they can have same stats, but of different levels

[ocean escarp]

like why can't i?

function a() {
function aDerivative() {}
}
test = a.aDerivative()

[subtle cove]

another confusing stuff

[remote oyster]

Maybe this comment I made some time ago might be useful. If not then carry on. #off-topic message

[ocean escarp]

It's wrong syntax I know. Im just trying to show a concept

[cold grove]

I dont understand why you need to define a if its just one method

[subtle cove]

check the export const math on this

[ocean escarp]

How is this valid? There's no constructor?

I was told every class NEEDED 1

[cold grove]

Its not a class

[ocean escarp]

Then why is it called class math {}
????????

[subtle cove]

const

[cold grove]

Read the whole message

[ocean escarp]

Sorry mathUtils

mathUtils has no constructor

[subtle cove]

optional for instantiation purposes

[ocean escarp]

I was told it was mandatory

[remote oyster]

If you are referring to the export/import logic then it doesn't matter because the export logic is there if to be used in another script but since I implemented it in the same block, simulating the same script, then exporting wasn't needed there.

[subtle cove]

nop

[ocean escarp]

So I can just remove my constructor then?

It only exists because I thought it needed 1

Tho I guess the usecase of the tutorial version was a lot different to what I'm trying to do here

[subtle cove]

all gud, was just pointing the "part" of ur message to be read

[cold grove]

You still have to create an instance of the class anyway, it doesnt mather if you write constructor(){} or not

[ocean escarp]

I wanna use classes as a collection of similar functions

Eg.
rollRace()
setRace()
removeRace()
getRaceInfo()
blacklistRace() // for the clearly racist

Oh god im commenting myself now....

[twilit sky]

You can do that by adding static before the function declaration.

So rollRace() would become static rollRace().

[ocean escarp]

Don't worry I think I actually get it now

Classes can store variables right?

And I don't need to specify const outside a method because it would be essentially saying const race = const..

Ok I have like 2 more errors to fix but they're small syntax confusions

I want to be able to both access
RACES_T1 in and outside the method

Is that what extends does?

No

Thats an extension of a different class

[remote oyster]

It takes a class and extends it to another class. For example, Entity and Player. Player is an extended class of Entity.

[ocean escarp]

Oh I forgot static

So it would be static var = []

I think?

Im understanding it more

[remote oyster]

I would avoid var. Use let or const. Var will potentially lead to problems if not used carefully.

[ocean escarp]

But not fully yet

so inside a class but outside a method

I do

static const RACES_T1 = []

[subtle cove]

remove const

[ocean escarp]

Oh

So inside a class I don't require these declarations?

What about for something like a luck value that needs to change each time I run a function?

[subtle cove]

static get luck(){ return Math...}

[ocean escarp]

Do I embed into the function as a const?

When called: set this value and execute logic based on it

I think I'm getting closer

[subtle cove]

that works as well

[ocean escarp]

And once I get 1 right I should be able to make more easier with every try

[subtle cove]

uhhh

[ocean escarp]

races_t1 is not defined

so I do race.races_t1?

since my racehandler is being defined as a const called race

[subtle cove]

class raceHandler {
    get luck() {
        return Math.floor(Math.random() * 100)
    }

    rollRace(player){
        const luck = this.luck;
        ///stuff
    }
    setRace(player){
        const luck = this.luck;
        //stuuf
    }
}```

[ocean escarp]

It's all working besides 1 thing

How do I grab a var from within the class but not the method into the method that is in the class

[subtle cove]

assign it to the instance

this.var = sth

then access this.var in its co-methods

[ocean escarp]

Huh?

Wait hold on

Let me try wrap my head around what you said

[subtle cove]

thats how instance works using this

[ocean escarp]

assign it to the instance

Wait so I do this.RACES_T1?

[subtle cove]

yup

static has a different instance, it's the parent class instance

[ocean escarp]

Cannot read property x of undefined

I thought I just defined it

Wait did you mean in the method or the class?

[subtle cove]

static is different from the child instance

[ocean escarp]

Wait im so confused lol

[subtle cove]

since its in static there, u can access it by raceHandler.RACES_T1

[ocean escarp]

Oh

Ok good news and bad news

Good news

No errors

Bad news

No output

[subtle cove]

if u want em available using this in those methods

[ocean escarp]

It did give the tag tho which means it returned successfully

[subtle cove]

sendMessage the luck

[ocean escarp]

Ah I see

I love having NaN luck

[subtle cove]

random()

;-;

[ocean escarp]

Oh

My

God

Im actually useless lmao

[subtle cove]

dw, that's part of the fun ;-;

[ocean escarp]

Well I solved 1 issue and created another

player.removeTag() does exist right?

[olive sphinx]

I thought it was removeTags

[subtle cove]

as long as player is Entity, yes

[ocean escarp]

It must be the fact I'm not looping through the array properly or that I'm messing with the format

"ps:races/" ->
"ps:races/human"
"ps:races/fishman"
Etc.

It's supposed to randomise it each time

Remove any potential existing ones and then roll

Ok so removeTag doesn't exist

That or my extension isn't showing me it

Wait no it's giving me all of them despite the luck thing

[subtle cove]

let race = "";
  if (luck <= 70) {
    race = "human";
  } else if (luck <= 80) {
    race = "fishman";
  } else if (luck <= 90) {
    race = "dunespirit";
  } else {
    race = "ghoul";
  }

  player.addTag(`ps:races/${race}`);
  player.sendMessage(`Congratulations! You rolled ${race.toUpperCase()}.`);

[ocean escarp]

Ohhh.. I just figured out why it's giving them all

Wrong operator

It's && not ||

[subtle cove]

else stuff, or it has to return after a successful addtag

[ocean escarp]

I fixed it

How would I register a custom command btw?

[ocean escarp]

Is that on jayly's?

[subtle cove]

just here

[wary edge]

MS docs.

[lethal lichen]

either via a bunch of feature rules or script based gen, or even a hybrid

[wicked girder]

will features work in custom dims?

[wary edge]

It doesnt currently. We dont know the roadmap.

[wicked girder]

big sad

[ocean escarp]

I wish I knew how to convert typescript to JavaScript

Is chatSend still viable?

[wary edge]

For what?

[ocean escarp]

I might just do
"!ps rollRace"
Instead of dealing with command registery stuff

All the tutorials are in typescript

And there's enough differences to where I keep messing up

[wary edge]

You would be relying on beta apis which can break and be dropped at any week.

[ocean escarp]

Oh well

[wary edge]

Theres also tons of ts to js online.

Its not that hard frankly. TS is just JS with types is all at its core.

[ocean escarp]

And yet I'm still getting errors after omitting those types

[wary edge]

Those being?

[ocean escarp]

A random } that doesn't fit anywhere

[wary edge]

Or why not just learn TS?

[ocean escarp]

It's the telling me I need 1

[wary edge]

Then you're likely omitting it incorrectly.

[ocean escarp]

You just remove : + the following type

[lethal lichen]

i mean, nothing is stopping you from manually placing features from scripts

[wicked girder]

[ocean escarp]

Apparently im missing something

No errors tho

Smthn about line 65

Wanting me to close the bracket

[wary edge]

Yeah you did it wrong.

[ocean escarp]

Even tho it's already closed

[wary edge]

JS still uses :

It's not type = CustomCommandParamType.string

[ocean escarp]

Odd

I thought js didn't use : at all

[wary edge]

https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/M4T2BcFMFsDoCNIDMD2AnSBRAbpAduMLBAIZrgCuADsRfMAMZoCWiAFG83s+AFwAEAZXBlKVHPnABKfgF4AfPwDeAKH78GKPBA0po0EngAmAJUgBzZhDQg5-SLgKwGFCHoDCeg8bOXrIAG4VNV19Q1MLK3AbWAw-KDRMPApoNgAiJkgScHReaBAAfXwUtIAafgBtNNQUMv40+DI6hpIALzSAXSkgkM1tcH4AC0gAGxGUTzDjAXdXHOhJ7yM7VXV1PBJoSAEMjGzc4bGUFzdoTSmjMpD1I0hGFipwZi0dzAAPTaoRyFClq7X+FRIGhoFZgM88AAZByjGZzDxecIABWBoOA4K00NwI1gAEE8CBStd+Et9jYkWRNpAEsABBVieolPwGWtwCAgXDTotkZToAAVdmQWBJFLlFnrKk7TJkvKFYrQNL8AD0Sv4fOGgN51OB-A2WxJcxJ2QYg344A1cSiwMgy3luqp-BI8BQuGJAF8OkT1G6gupzktfFEYpaIMDucY2IdxuGjOUoxN4QtEcZuio3UA

Again, there are tons of TS to JS online. But at that point just learn TS.

[ocean escarp]

I just dont like TS

I've seen it

Just not a fan

[wary edge]

Frankly, if you have to learn TS syntax then manually convert it in your head thats a waste.

[ocean escarp]

Well I fixed half of it

And now apparently line 69 also needs a } somewhere

All this for some basic auto complete

Plus how often are they really gonna change the beforeEvents for chatSend?

[wary edge]

They could just remove it.

There's no gurantee really beta becomes stable.

[ocean escarp]

I don't see why they would

How hard even is it to process chat input that it would still be in beta?

[wary edge]

At the end of the day it's up to you whether you want to suffer now or suffer later.

[ocean escarp]

This registry is going to triple my file length at the very least...

And Im not too confident with splitting my scripts into different folders yet

[wary edge]

So suffer later then?

[ocean escarp]

These commands are only for testing / debugging

Maybe I can do without them tbh

[unique apex]

this is very easy i highly recommend

[ocean escarp]

The funny part is I don't even know where to split it rn

Not enough content yet

[unique apex]

i see

[ocean escarp]

This project will fail anyways

Because I refuse to try Json UI again

[unique apex]

real i got a very basic version of what i want and i called it quits

[ocean escarp]

Im making something similar to origins

But cooldown bars and all that is usually UI based

[unique apex]

bleh

[ocean escarp]

I should probably store my race data as objects

{ name, tier }

[unique apex]

how else would you do it

[ocean escarp]

I've been doing individual arrays...

For each tier

[unique apex]

😭

do you like being in pain

[ocean escarp]

I am a masochist so probably

[unique apex]

i found it! i made this in json ui and its buggy and - it doesnt matter because it works and i love it

i wont ever touch it again JSON UI is hell

[ocean escarp]

I've been wanting to redo my player UI for a long time

Going 6 years I think now

[unique apex]

6 years for what

[ocean escarp]

I custom resource pack with actual functionality

[unique apex]

youve been thinking about making one for 6 years?

[ocean escarp]

Also prob a Lua oppsie but why cannot store data like this

[ocean escarp]

With multiple attempts

That ended prematurely

[unique apex]

const RACES = {
  human: 1,
  fishman: 1...
}```

what are the ones for anyway

[ocean escarp]

tier

I wanted to store

{ Name, tier }

[unique apex]

yeah?

[ocean escarp]

Guess I'll have to store it like this

[wary edge]

I would do this.

[unique apex]

yeah object of arrays seems better than an array of objects

[ocean escarp]

Well yeah but this is saying
human is 1
fishman is 1
...

Not
My name is human and my tier is 1

[wary edge]

I guess you could be more verbose(at that point thats what TS is but you refuse to learn it). The code is saying there is a RACE human that has a value of 1. 1 of course being the tier.

[ocean escarp]

This just outputs the entire object data rather than isolating the data I want

[wary edge]

Are you planning on more data?

[ocean escarp]

Not currently but i'd definitely prefer an easily expandable format just in case

[ocean escarp]

I suppose that works

[unique apex]

wait is this TS and JS

[wary edge]

Maybe.

[ocean escarp]

Wait is there even a difference?

Wait

I see it

Not sure why class test is just an empty object tho

"use strict";
class Test {}

Does ts just not have class data?

[wary edge]

TS is the one on the left, JS is the one on the right.

https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?#code/MYGwhgzhAEAqCmEAuBvAUNayxIJbGgCUBBAYQFEBlAXnU0wAsBXAWzADsAuaO+zPeACduARgA0GPtAbwwIJA24AmAAyTMAX0lataYAHt2EfSHgA6EPoDmACgTIzJCpTPM27AJR7Dx0xet2iEiOZFSurByusvIMXgZGJuaWtvbBTmFukQKCHkA

[ocean escarp]

Huh..

Whaa im so lost have I been writing a mix of both the entire time then?

[wary edge]

I'm sure it's just how the transpiler is setup in this environment is all.

[ocean escarp]

Ah

Do I need to change what val grabs then?

Cause now it would grab the object and not the string

like can u get the names of the list entries as strings?

[sharp elbow]

Yeah, it would. Though this syntax is not doing what you'd expect for assigning stuff to RACES

[ocean escarp]

All I know is worked before I converted them from strings to objects

I guess I can just make an id part

{"id": value, "tier": value}

[sharp elbow]

So you want an array mapping an ID to some metadata? You've got a couple of options; either a 2-length tuple or a Map object.

// Map
static RACES = new Map([
  ["human", {"tier": 1}],
  ["fishman", {"tier": 1}],
  ["dunespirit", {"tier": 1}],
  ["ghoul", {"tier": 1}],
]);

rollRace(player) {
  const luck = Math.floor((Math.random() * 100));
  // The callback for Map.forEach expects the first parameter to be the map value, then the map key
  raceHandler.RACES.forEach((val, key) => {
    world.sendMessage(`${key}: ${val}`);
  }

  // ...
}

Map object has other advantages, like you can use the get() method to acquire a mapped entry based on a key

[ocean escarp]

I never understood why people liked maps

Isn't it a tiny bit complex?

[wary edge]

Complex in what way?

[sharp elbow]

A bit. Probably overkill in this scenario, since the major advantages of maps only come into play with large data sets, and here you have four entries.

But the semantics are still nice

[wary edge]

Every Data Structure has its pros and cons.

[ocean escarp]

If it builds good habits I'll try to get used to it

[sharp elbow]

The other approach is an array of tuples, which is very similar:

// Tuple
static RACES = [
  ["human", {"tier": 1}],
  ["fishman", {"tier": 1}],
  ["dunespirit", {"tier": 1}],
  ["ghoul", {"tier": 1}],
];

rollRace(player) {
  const luck = Math.floor((Math.random() * 100));
  // The callback for Array.forEach expects the first parameter to be the array entry
  // Here we're destructuring the tuple, first index into key, second index into value
  raceHandler.RACES.forEach(([key, val]) => {
    world.sendMessage(`${key}: ${val}`);
  }

  // ...
}

[ocean escarp]

Now my remover isn't working

Fixed it

I assume I can't add components to entities via scripts?

[wary edge]

Correct.

[ocean escarp]

I'll need a custom breath meter then

[lyric kestrel]

The after/beforeEvents and such, that's detected from packets, right?

[lyric kestrel]

You could use properties on an entity, or dynamic properties

[wary edge]

Are you looking for packet manipulation?

[lyric kestrel]

No, just remembered looking at the Debugger one time and seeing the different packet infos when doing something

[ocean escarp]

I know I sound crazy but I'm trying to recreate the player attributes without player.json

[lyric kestrel]

What is your use-case?

[ocean escarp]

Freedom

Dynamic health, damage reduction

The whole package

[ocean escarp]

Orange the play?

[junior hill]

does anyone know if it is possible to give individual items properties

[wary edge]

The closest is dynamic properties.

Which only works on non stackable.

[ocean escarp]

I think this is a kill system?

[wary edge]

Why are you setting a property after the entity has been killed?

[ocean escarp]

Iirc they dont reset on death?

[wary edge]

They're removed on death because the entity no longer exists.

[ocean escarp]

I thought players preserve them

[wary edge]

Oh I missed the player check. You should still set it before killing.

It's hard to read screenshots.

And not even that, a picture of the monitor.

[ocean escarp]

I wish I had a better method rn i truly do

[ocean escarp]

Btw how do I read the value of a dynamic property again? Struggling with conversions

[wary edge]

That's completely right. entity.getDynamicProperty('blah')

[ocean escarp]

That's weird, my custom health value isn't dropping

Do I need a toNumber()?

[sharp elbow]

Here is something to consider: What is the value you receive for the first time when querying a property you have never set before?

[ocean escarp]

It's been set already

Im reading it rn as 20

It's just not doing math

[wary edge]

Is it 20 or "20". How and when did you first set the property?

[ocean escarp]

Well to get to show I had to toString() but the number is set

Here

It's called on an interval once and then locked once I get a certain tag

Which is also given by the interval

How do I check for a type of a value?

Im going to print it to find out whats happening

[cold grove]

=== is the equality operator
= is for assignment

[cold grove]

const v = 'hi';

console.log(typeof v); // 'string'

[ocean escarp]

Is there method for killing the player

Entity.kill fails

[cold grove]

What do you mean?

Wich error?

[ocean escarp]

None

Im just immortal.

[wary edge]

entity.kill()

Functions need ()

[ocean escarp]

Whoops

Dumbass again

[cold grove]

[ocean escarp]

Failed too

But eh

I'll fix it tomorrow

[distant tulip]

faild doesn't give much context tbh

did it throw erros?

[ocean escarp]

None but my property went from -1 to 16 to 17
Husks deal 3 damage

Once it went to 0 or below I should have died but didn't

[wary edge]

Are you perchance in Creative mode?

[ocean escarp]

Nope

I think kill is treated as a hurt instance

So kill is doing 0 damage

[wary edge]

It does not.

[ocean escarp]

Its showing a value on beforeEvents

So it has to be doing something

[granite badger]

I think it might be due to dynamic properties not updating in real time. When you set the dynamic property, calling getDynamicProperty() won't return the same value as getDynamicProperty() - damage

[wary edge]

That should only be for normal properties if I recall.

I never had issue with having to wait 1 tick.

[ocean escarp]

It does update in real time I've got to wait 1 tick anyways due to being in beforeEvents
(I added that after cause I realized late)

Also w docs

[lyric kestrel]

Are you waiting a tick?

[lyric kestrel]

Ah, you are oki

[ocean escarp]

I'll test tomorrow without the damage getting set to 0

I have a feeling it MIGHT be that

[ocean escarp]

I'll fix that tomorrow but it shouldnt make a difference as they all have identical stats right now anyways

[warm mason]

🍿 👀

[distant tulip]

btw, kill do trigger the event

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

world.beforeEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(ev => {
    const e = ev.hurtEntity;
    if (e.typeId !== "minecraft:player" || e.getDynamicProperty("ps:pendingDeath")) return;

    let max = e.getDynamicProperty("ps:healthMax") ?? 20;
    let cur = (e.getDynamicProperty("ps:healthCurrent") ?? max) - ev.damage;
    ev.damage = 0;

    cur = Math.max(0, Math.min(cur, max));

    system.run(() => e.onScreenDisplay.setActionBar(`HP ${cur}/${max}`));

    if (cur === 0) {
        e.setDynamicProperty("ps:pendingDeath", true);
        e.setDynamicProperty("ps:healthCurrent", 0);

        system.run(() => {
            e.kill();
            e.setDynamicProperty("ps:pendingDeath", false);
            e.setDynamicProperty("ps:healthMax", 20);
            e.setDynamicProperty("ps:healthCurrent", 20);
        });
        return;
    }

    e.setDynamicProperty("ps:healthCurrent", cur);
});

[ocean escarp]

That's literally exactly what I was going for

Just with eventually better UI

Curious tho, why are you setting the max health?

Also does this actually work well with other health values?

I don't see a reason why it wouldn't but I also wanna see my system's flexibility in action

@distant tulip

I think I just found my replacement for modified move speed in water

I can't change the components but I can apply an impulse based on conditions

[distant tulip]

Just in case of a custom value, and to initialize it

[lyric kestrel]

I'm trying to figure out what is causing lag within a server I play on, so I'm debugging the add-ons that got added and recently updated

Can anbody tell me what GameDirectorEntityServer is?

Wait, is it an entity running a command?

I just don't know what type of command

Looking it up it says something about transitions?

[ocean escarp]

Custom values are set when you obtain the race

[cerulean cliff]

please send code comments, not screenshots, my little heart is always a little hurt when I see screenshots thanku

[lyric kestrel]

Sadly they cannot

[cerulean cliff]

[ocean escarp]

Maybe it'll change soon

Only time will tell

[fallen hearth]

This happens when a player enters the world, but I want it to only happen once, when the world is generated:

world.afterEvents.worldLoad.subscribe(() => {
})

[shy leaf]

set a dynamic property and make it return early if dynamic property is present

Is it possible to generate NPC dialogue? Or event to check whenever a button is clicked or dialogue skipped or anything related to the NPC menu

[cold grove]

You can use /scriptevent in the dialogue buttons to handle them via system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive

Also, i guess you can do something with EntityNpcComppnent, anything but generate a new scene :(

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/npc-dialogue

[pliant breach]

hello everyone is there anyway to bypass vanilla I-frame without using the damageSoruce as override or selfDestruct

[shy leaf]

whats your use case?

[pliant breach]

i was making for guns that have fast firing time or weapon skill that dealt damage faster than the 0.5s Iframe of the game

but since using the damageSource like those above just ignore mob armor so i want to know if there are anyway other than that

[shy leaf]

my workaround here would be to multiply the damage by 2 if it was dealt during iframes

[ocean escarp]

How can you even test for if iframes are active?

[shy leaf]

although it probably doesnt go well if the final damage changes in any way, such as armor breaking

[pliant breach]

just make a script that loop damage you will clearly see that the mob not taking damage in about 0.5 sec

[ocean escarp]

Ah.. forgot a timer exists

[shy leaf]

i store the current tick into a mob, and test if current tick - mob's last damaged tick is larger than (or same as) 10

[pliant breach]

i did remember some specific gun addon did somehow bypass that Iframe but i cant remember it name

[shy leaf]

that one most likely uses override or something

i forgor

[pliant breach]

also it will be much easier if i can get the armor value of the armor the mob wearing and do the damage calculation in it but there seem noway to get that kind of value for now at least

so i think i will stuck with the Iframe thingy for a while haizz

[shy leaf]

beforeEvents entityHurt could be fantastic for this, but theres a bug with iframes at this moment

[pliant breach]

yeah obviously but if only i can get the armor value that the entity is having

[valid ice]

Temp properties & millisecond timing

[shy leaf]

i find millisecond inaccurate because of tick delays

since 20 tps isnt guaranteed

[valid ice]

10 ticks, then 🗿

[shy leaf]

[stray spoke]

You can make a file to create dialogues

Then call it using /dialogue without even interacting to the npc

As long as the entity is loaded

[random flint]

use system.currentTick as timestamp, not Date.now()

[valid ice]

Depends on use case

Me, I’d use date now in this scenario because I trust my ticks

[ocean escarp]

What happens when something both functions and errors?

[distant tulip]

You were setting it to false in same tick as you kill the player
The event will trigger while it is false
-# referring to the deleted message

[ocean escarp]

Figure that out now

[distant tulip]

That make no sense, lol

[ocean escarp]

But I am getting an error log of something being undefined but still applying correct logic

[distant tulip]

Share the error

[ocean escarp]

Line 84

Cannot get toString() of undefined

Well it clearly can cause my actionbar is updating correctly

[distant tulip]

Well, the property is not defined, but i couldn't tell you why
Can you share the whole event

[ocean escarp]

Which whole event?

[distant tulip]

nvm
Anyway the property is not defined, look into where are you settling it to undefined or not setting it at all

[ocean escarp]

You mean this?

I really should make a const for this

Or I guess it would be let here

This is the first location they are set

[distant tulip]

Where are you initializing the value of the property

[ocean escarp]

Right here in the above image

[distant tulip]

Make sure it actually triggers, the error shouldn't throw if it did

[ocean escarp]

I did

[distant tulip]

write that line that errors in multiple lines so you know where is the error exactly

[ocean escarp]

I did

It's the line with the action bar on

[distant tulip]

And?

[ocean escarp]

Wait

I might not have understood that correctly

[distant tulip]

I meant this

One oof the properties is throwing the error

You can't tell if they are both in the same lline

[ocean escarp]

Well I fixed it

I guess it just didn't like me using ${v}

[random flint]

system.currentTick would sync with Iframes better since they're based on in-game tick (Both influenced by Lags or In-Game pause that reduce or halt the TPS). This way, it avoids desync when tracking iframes.
-# Since you mention "my ticks", I guess you got your own clock to measure ticks?

Date.now() would be better for tracking cooldown in real time regardless of TPS spike though.

[ocean escarp]

@distant tulip so I kinda caved and took a hybrid approach with player Json + scripting

I'm trying to figure out why it sometimes doesnt apply the health boost

[distant tulip]

why

[ocean escarp]

Too much stuff to keep track of

Also is there some magical restriction im missing on runCommand

It never seem to work on the first try

Always the 2nd

[crude ferry]

😂

Average JS user.

[ocean escarp]

I cant seem to figure out to make this speed me up

[shy leaf]

uh

wouldnt that...

just make you go pwoosh underwater?

[ocean escarp]

That's what trying to do

[shy leaf]

best to limit the speed cuz there isnt one there

[ocean escarp]

But no speed seems to affect it rn

[shy leaf]

players will reach light speed with that

oh wait

no i looked at the code wrong

[ocean escarp]

I don't know why my multiplier isn't multiplying

[shy leaf]

try printing out the values in actionbar for debugging

also, did EntityUnderwaterMovementComponent not work?

[ocean escarp]

Trying to avoid hard coding a bunch of values if possible

So far I'm only using 2 health events to get anywhere between 1 and 512 hearts

[shy leaf]

uhhhhhhhhhh why

[ocean escarp]

Because I plan to make programmable origins eventually

needs to be data driven

Or whatever the term is

[shy leaf]

i mean you can still do that with the component

feels like youre going for hard ways

[ocean escarp]

Well yeah but I would need like 8 events and component groups which will probably already double the file length

[shy leaf]

yeah like

nothing wrong with that, unless its physically limited

[ocean escarp]

Im not sifting though 3000 lines of code to fix 1 typo

[shy leaf]

you can divide files

[ocean escarp]

I can't divide player.json

[shy leaf]

one file does this thing, one file does that thing

[shy leaf]

what

how many lines does your player.json have

[ocean escarp]

Not much right now because I'm optimising

Adding that water move speed thing would double its size

[shy leaf]

. . . ?

why would it?

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

[distant tulip]

dude is overcomplicating everything

[ocean escarp]

It's a script API thing...?

[shy leaf]

...yeah

[ocean escarp]

I thought we couldn't use components??

[distant tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/838079430358204416/1275178432950698086/Minecraft_2024-08-19_20-42-21.mp4
yes

[shy leaf]

hence this

[shy leaf]

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

these are what you can edit

there might be some entity components that arent attributes that you could edit, but i havent tested

[ocean escarp]

Well that changes a few things now..

[distant tulip]

system.runInterval(() => {
  world.getPlayers().forEach((player) => {
    if(player.isSwimming){
      player.getComponent('underwater_movement').setCurrentValue(0.1)
    } else {
      player.getComponent('underwater_movement').resetToDefaultValue()
    }
  })
})

[granite badger]

I forgot I added this, thoughts on this?

[shy leaf]

whats that

oh

that? this Details thing

[granite badger]

I mean the source TS block, just for some people who want a quick overview of the class

[shy leaf]

ah yeah

[ocean escarp]

This is all I need?

[shy leaf]

its neat but i keep overlooking it cuz of how small it is

i had to do a double take to find where the source block is at 😭

[ocean escarp]

Odd, I pass number to my function and got a type conversion error?

[shy leaf]

.

where are you putting the .toFixed(0) at

[ocean escarp]

I need to actually quit

[shy leaf]

relatable

[ocean escarp]

Tf you mean not a function?

Oh

I uhh forgot to change the 2nd 1

[crude glacier]

i have a better idea actually

[cold grove]

Interested to know

[crude glacier]

Using custom commands

You create a command that lets you handle dialogue buttons

And then run it using the dialogue buttons

[lyric kestrel]

I think it's good

[lyric kestrel]

Anybody know what this is 🥺

[random flint]

Maybe its from BP Animation Controller. Because that's what a can think of when the word "transition" came into my mind.

[shut citrus]

anyone know why "cannot read property 'Symbol.iterator' of undefined" is in content logs?

[open urchin]

Can you send the code causing the error?

[random flint]

when Symbol.iterator appear, with my two braincells I usually associate them with something like an array. If you want to use it, you gota do for of loop, or deconstruct it [...data] so it become a proper array with its method.
-# I know there are more accurate explanation, but that's only for people who want to read the online documentations

[stray spoke]

I didn't know spread operator can be used in itirator

Since Map toArray() method doesn't exist on quick js

I used for of loop

[jolly citrus]

where do you see this

what's the best way to make a runTimeout function that repeat multiple times?

example:

system.runInterval(() => {}, 5);
system.runInterval(() => {}, 15);

I tried using a for loop, but that seems to crash the game

hmm

I wonder if runInterval is better for this?

[pliant breach]

use runInterval if you want to cancle the loop midway

[fickle dagger]

yeah I'm trying it out

[lean badger]

is there anything like that now?

yes

[crude glacier]

Guys what the min-minecraft version i must use in manifest to get detected by bridge

[remote oyster]

It should be able to support 1.26.20 but if not then try 1.26.10. If that fails then I couldn't tell you, other than that it sounds like it's outdated.

[crude glacier]

Hmmm

[crude glacier]

I am usig 1.26.0

[cinder shadow]

Anyone know what could cause a triggerEvent error saying it is undefined on an entity when that entity event clearly exists?

const mimic = dimension.spawnEntity('runecraft:ore_mimic', {x: location.x + 0.5, y: location.y, z: location.z + 0.5})
    .setProperty('runecraft:texture', mimicId.entityProperty)
    .triggerEvent('become_hostile')```

not sure if it's some runtime issue of the enttiy just spawning or something else, but setProperty works immediately

mk, I guess chaining these together doesn't work as I thought

I think setProperty() was changing what the entity was

[winged drift]

setProperty returns void

so dimension.spawnEntity returns Entity, setProperty is then being called on that entity wich returns undefined and then minecraft tries to call triggerEvent on undefined

[lyric kestrel]

Try setting property afterwards in a system.run so it happens in the next tick

[wary edge]

Thats not the issue.

[lyric kestrel]

Ohhh

Woops

[earnest meadow]

TS would solve this issue

:D

[frozen vine]

The API has tag fields in the entity; is this tag the family tag or something internal?

[earnest meadow]

that's literally a tag, like tag from players

[frozen vine]

So it's not family?

I thought it was the tag that's in the mob's json file, in the case of Bedrock Sendono Family.

Not the nametags

[lyric kestrel]

It is

[frozen vine]

I don't understand, is it family or not?

[lyric kestrel]

Yes, it can be

It's all tags an entity has

Excluding nametags*

[frozen vine]

Ah yes, I thought it might be some kind of internal tag, which would be strange because entities don't have a field called tags; the equivalent is family.

[lyric kestrel]

Ah wait, sorry.

I didn't test it on any entities with families

So that part I don't know

Sorry

Wait, does the player entity have a family?

If so, then it doesn't detect families

[frozen vine]

Yea

"minecraft:type_family": {
        "family": [
          "player"
        ]
      }

[lyric kestrel]

Then ^

[frozen vine]

So, could it be something internal? I found that curious.

[stable shadow]

Is it possible to detect arrows with an effect using a script?

[wary edge]

No its from /tag

Its nothing internal.

[wary edge]

Does hasEffect not work?

[stable shadow]

I'm referring to the arrow itself.

[crude ferry]

Pretty sure getEffect works on arrows as well.

[frozen vine]

Arrow:1>

[crude ferry]

Oh you mean the items.

[stable shadow]

Translator, sorry.

[wary edge]

So the item not the entity?

[stable shadow]

yes

item

[wary edge]

Unfortunately, no.

To my knowledge anyways. You could do it via runCommand and test every data value with hasitem.

[frozen vine]

Is it not possible to see the item's data?

[stable shadow]

That's a shame, I was creating an API that saves everything in the dynamicProperty.

[stable shadow]

I honestly don't know if it's worth doing this.

[frozen vine]

Ah yes, thank you, I was really confused, and apparently ikorbon had used it wrong. Well, thank you for the explanation.

[frozen vine]

Is it not possible to use minecraft:arrow:3?

[stable shadow]

No, because it will remain the normal arrow item.

[frozen vine]

Technically, this is the method Minecraft uses in various places to view data, but I don't know if it works in the script.

[frozen vine]

The 3 means data 3; if this happens, the script probably ignores it.

[olive sphinx]

I actually did something like that, some issues of course, but I was able to save most of data from an item

[stable shadow]

Me too, I saved practically everything, except for the items that couldn't be saved, like the banner and arrows, beds, etc.

[worldly heath]

is there any difference between block.x and block.location.x ?

[snow knoll]

None at all in terms of the outcome

[worldly heath]

ah thanks

[snow knoll]

Np
Its better to use block.x as opposed to block.location, since using .location is slower

[lyric kestrel]

Is there a block.x?

[fresh comet]

Yes lol

but It's more clean to use block.location in my opinion

[crude glacier]

Guys i know it is a weird question

[naive frost]

Guys i know this is a question

[marble sigil]

You can use itemName.localizationKey
It gives the potion effect name indirectly, however, it does not include the amplifier.
Then, make a simple if (x) return y; chain.

The localization key is something like tipped_arrow.effect.{x}.

From the en_US.lang:

tipped_arrow.effect.empty=Tipped Arrow
tipped_arrow.effect.mundane=Tipped Arrow
tipped_arrow.effect.thick=Tipped Arrow
tipped_arrow.effect.awkward=Tipped Arrow
tipped_arrow.effect.nightVision=Arrow of Night Vision
tipped_arrow.effect.invisibility=Arrow of Invisibility
tipped_arrow.effect.jump=Arrow of Leaping
tipped_arrow.effect.fireResistance=Arrow of Fire Resistance
tipped_arrow.effect.moveSpeed=Arrow of Swiftness
tipped_arrow.effect.moveSlowdown=Arrow of Slowness
tipped_arrow.effect.water=Arrow of Splashing
tipped_arrow.effect.waterBreathing=Arrow of Water Breathing
tipped_arrow.effect.heal=Arrow of Healing
tipped_arrow.effect.harm=Arrow of Harming
tipped_arrow.effect.poison=Arrow of Poison
tipped_arrow.effect.regeneration=Arrow of Regeneration
tipped_arrow.effect.damageBoost=Arrow of Strength
tipped_arrow.effect.weakness=Arrow of Weakness
tipped_arrow.effect.levitation=Arrow of Levitation
tipped_arrow.effect.luck=Arrow of Luck
tipped_arrow.effect.wither=Arrow of Decay
tipped_arrow.effect.turtleMaster=Arrow of the Turtle Master
tipped_arrow.effect.slowFalling=Arrow of Slow Falling
tipped_arrow.effect.infested=Arrow of Infestation
tipped_arrow.effect.oozing=Arrow of Oozing
tipped_arrow.effect.weaving=Arrow of Weaving
tipped_arrow.effect.windCharged=Arrow of Wind Charging

So, if you want to check if an arrow is Strength:

if(itemStack.localizationKey.includes('damageBoost')) {
  world.sendMessage('Strength effect');
}

Or if it is speed:

if(itemStack.localizationKey.includes('moveSpeed')) {
  world.sendMessage('Speed effect');
}

[lean badger]

why i dont see that in any docs xd when was it first released

[distant tulip]

🤷‍♂️

imo it is best to keep yourself up to date from changelog

[patent heath]

If I wanted to make a skill tree menu would I model it via scripting?

[junior hill]

Can i carry properties between items using “lore”?

Like holo scope for a gun

Label it in the lore and use that to carry between players using properties in player.json to be activated in rc

Unless there is another way to activate it in the rc

[last latch]

I hardcoded the positions in JSON UI

but it is possible to make one with dynamic positions with scripting.

it all depends if you need new skill trees and you want to code it (or commission someone)

(i thought it was json ui channel mb)

[stable shadow]

Is there a way for me to trigger the onEntity event of the customComponent block from the entity in any way I want? For example, if I interact with the entity, it triggers this event and the block receives an interact event.

[wary edge]

Not that I know.

onEntity only triggers for entity components that have a block trigger. Such on_reach for move to block.

Maybe...the creaking/heart has a componeny that ties data, but not entirely sure. What you can do is tie a dynamic property to the entity.

[open urchin]

The block would have to be set at as the entity's home

Then you could use execute_event_on_home_block

Is there a way to forcefully close a gui that is active on a players screen?

[somber cedar]

you can close script forms https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server-ui.UIManager.html#closeallforms

[woven loom]

Is there any tool that can tell me what is the minimum API version required to run my code?

Is it possible to check if a mob has any families using a script? Or only through commands?

[snow knoll]

How should I go about detecting right-click and holding right-click separately, on the same item?

[wary edge]

Have a use modifier to detect the use duration.

[stray spoke]

I think swing after event can also help

[snow knoll]

I'm currently using itemStartUse and itemStopUse to detect when right click is being held, to make a function to constantly fire
How does useDuration in itemStartUse actually work?
Does it return a value after you let go of the interact button, or does it work as the button is being held, since startUse only fires when the item is first held

[wary edge]

Kind of? Does it still trigger for charging a bow?

[stray spoke]

That's for holding right-click

[wary edge]

Use modifier component has a duration field (or whatevers its called). It will start counting down from there. Using that you can check if the item is being held or not.

[stray spoke]

while right-click while empty hand is detectable only by swing event in script ig

[wary edge]

But the question is 1 item having right click and holding right click, not empty hand.

[stray spoke]

Ohh, I thought same right click, just no items

coz how could you differentiate it

[snow knoll]

Wouldn't that only allow me to fire something after I've finished clicking
Or am I misconstruing something

[wary edge]

What are you trying to achieve?

[snow knoll]

I want to be able to right click an item and it does something once, or hold right click and and start a runInterval that ends when I let go of interact

[wary edge]

So:

• Right Click - Function A
• Hold Right Click - Funtion B

[snow knoll]

Bingo
I can't believe I used so many more words

[wary edge]

Custom or Vanilla Item?

[snow knoll]

Custom

[wary edge]

I would have itemUse to trigger A and have itemStartUse have an interval, save the run id and when itemStopUse is called, clear the run.

[snow knoll]

I've already got the itemStartUse with its interval and all
I've just been integrating a secondary function into it
Can I make itemUse not fire with itemStartUse simultaneously?

[wary edge]

https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/main/metadata/engine_modules/engine-after-events-ordering.json

This is the ordereing, I dont think its entirely useful. In my opinion then, I would have a tick check, if the item hasnt stopped use after 2 ticks, trigger B, else trigger A.

[snow knoll]

Thank you for the help!

[dapper smelt]

One question: is this list updated with each new version?

[cold grove]

I can guess it is because the last commit was 5 days ago

[marble sigil]

if we apply a effect, like slowness to an flying arrow, will whoever who gets hit by it get the effect? Or no?

[random flint]

I don't think arrow can be inflicted with potion effects. Tipped arrow also doesn't really "affected" by their potion effect when shot, they only act as the "carrier" of the effect which is tied to their data itself

[marble sigil]

Is it possible to detect when a player makes a nether portal?

[distant tulip]

Item use on obsidian and detect a valid structure or wait for a nether portal block

[marble sigil]

Wasn’t itemUseOn after|before event deprecated?

[distant tulip]

Player interact with block

[snow knoll]

You could just get the block the player is looking at with regular item use in the range that the player can interact with an item

That's a better idea

[marble sigil]

But there's not just one way.
Some players make with flint steel. Others use fire charge.
Then some use speedrunning tricks like lava and wood, I'm talking about those cases.

[distant tulip]

That is true

Well

Unless you want to tick the whole world looking for a portal block, there is no way

Or just check block in player view

[cerulean cliff]

ngl a player.swing() would be cool

[thorn flicker]

would love that

[crude ferry]

What would that do lol?

[distant tulip]

swing the player arm

[cerulean cliff]

Biggest use case I can think of rn is how a player either always swings their arm if a block is interactable, or never if it isnt

[shy leaf]

we need api to cover every use case tbh

if theres a thing that detects an action

there should be a thing that makes an action

like
entityHurt <-> applyDamage

[earnest meadow]

are scripts ran in the same environment across multiple packs?

[warm mason]

no

[dapper copper]

of course you would

[thorn flicker]

need a heal method

[shy leaf]

yeah we dont have that...

maybe they forgor? or maybe they are considering it but polishing it first

[wary edge]

Just edit the healt component.

[thorn flicker]

i mean we can heal, but not in a way to detect it in entityHeal.

[shy leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/leon-chokes-choking-ada-wong-gif-26380793

[thorn flicker]

<->

[wary edge]

You missed the clueless emoji.

[thorn flicker]

didnt miss it

[wary edge]

Ok. 👍

[wary edge]

Its ass yeah, but realisticly theyre just waiting to stabilise it. They would need to add heal causes which is kind of weird.

[shy leaf]

true

ive seen totemofundying as heal cause

...thats so specific

[wary edge]

@charred dune actually asked for that.

[shy leaf]

oh hmm

still quite specific though, how does it work?

[wary edge]

It detects totem of undying.

Like...

[shy leaf]

[thorn flicker]

lol

[shy leaf]

why did i even ask that

wait

[wary edge]

Yes totem of undyings are a thing.

[shy leaf]

what if you cancel totem of undying from entityHeal

[thorn flicker]

I dont see this in the docs, is this in beta?

[shy leaf]

i think its in preview

[thorn flicker]

ah

[shy leaf]

as beta api

[wary edge]

https://tenor.com/view/donkey-kong-now-you-die-super-mario-bros-movie-gif-27484195

[shy leaf]

[turbid gulch]

can we use rawtext in console.warn?

[charred dune]

So previously totem of undying was triggering an entityHurt event with negative damage and damage type none. They changed it in recent versions to use another event but I forgot the name of it

[subtle cove]

during entityHealthChanged

-hp to 1hp

entityHeal triggers 1st

[fallow rivet]

Is it possible to create a skyblock island system using custom dimensions?

[junior hill]

player.applyDamage(3, { cause: "magic" });```

is there a better way to have the damage ignore armor?

i dont like how it says killed by magic when dead

[fallow rivet]

Reduce the player's health

[junior hill]

what is the doc for that?

[fallow rivet]

I need to look at this

1sec

[fallow rivet]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.EntityHealthComponent.html#setcurrentvalue

Is this possible?

[junior hill]

O i see prob wont be practical due to im making a medical mod

Ig stick with what i have atm works fine for now as a beta

[vast rune]

yo how do dynamic properties work exactly?
i need to save objects from a custom class in a script that get created whenever a player places a block

im guessing i stringify it and store it in the world but idk if thats right

since im going to be generating these objects and multiple of them will be in the world, how would i be able to retrieve them? i cant auto generate values or something like that

like, how can i figure out the key for each object if i dont know what they are

[wary edge]

setDynamicProperty(key, value)
