[obsidian crest]

is it possible to change the hover texture on a button without changing the purpleBorder?

[tropic badger]

why not make ur own

instead of relying on the renderer

[obsidian crest]

so you can change it by creating a new renderer?

alr thanks

[tropic badger]

nono

[obsidian crest]

how so?

[tropic badger]

i meant editing the button

are u using content or text button?

[obsidian crest]

i’ll be using the buttons text

i’m just trying to edit the hover text bg texture

[tropic badger]

alright using controls method is quite tricky..

only technique i know of is just use content button then make this panel ur content

"panel_name": {
  "type": "panel",

  "controls": [
    {
      "label": {...} // Your text here
    },
    {
       "hover": {
         "ignored": "$default_state"
       }
    }
  ]
}

this way u can customize ur hover element, dont forget that ignore

@obsidian crest

[obsidian crest]

alrighty thanks i’ll try it out!

yeah that makes sense

[chilly yacht]

@tropic badger is it possible to make this work? json "buttons@global_buttons.buttons": { "$color": "#color", "$button_texture": "textures/ui/White", "$show_text": false, "bindings": [ { "binding_type": "collection", "binding_collection_name": "form_buttons", "binding_name": "#form_button_text", "binding_name_override": "#text" }, { "binding_type": "view", "source_property_name": "(#text - '§0')", "target_property_name": "#color" } ] } im passing through [0.5, 0.5, 0.5] in a button but its not actually coloring it

[tropic badger]

it doesnt accept bindings anymore, only variables... sadly

[chilly yacht]

so there's no longer a way to do that?

[tropic badger]

yes

ive tried that yesterday, nothing worked out.

[chilly yacht]

aw man

[tender canyon]

How can I make hearts be top to bottom like when I take damage It remove the hearts the hearts bellow ? (I have 20 hearts) (and when I add hearts It add it at the bottom of the previous row of hearts)

[tropic badger]

@rocky quail clickable commands that u could hook up to chat binding, i recreated ur idea with the same shenanigans

this doesnt use any #visible bindings

[tropic badger]

hearts arent editable, they are hardcoded through a renderer

[rocky quail]

Woah

I've already had that working

besides the slash part

since bindings can't put the '/' as string unless there is any character before it

[tender canyon]

ok

[red wagon]

Coincidentally I've been working on something similar but I've only been able to change the command or subcommand text, but not add new items/buttons - any hints? This still replaces all existing text, right?

I've moved on after getting stuck on it for a while due to crashes and invalid references

[obsidian crest]

sorry for the ping but im trying something like this ```json
"button_hover_text": {
"type": "custom",
"renderer": "hover_text_renderer",
"alpha": 0,
"allow_clipping": false,
"controls": [
{
"button_text": {
"type": "label",
"text": "#form_button_text"
}
}
]
}

but it doesnt seem to work, the hover text renderer seems to work fine, but the button text still just attaches to the button even tho its in its controls

do you know how to get this to work by any chance

[tropic badger]

what do u mean "items/buttons"?

[tropic badger]

offset it

[obsidian crest]

why?

[tropic badger]

wym on "attaching to button?"

[obsidian crest]

like instead of being hover text, it’s just staying in one place on the button

[tropic badger]

can u send an image, idont get what u mean

[red wagon]

New entries in the auto_complete button list

[warped temple]

    "type": "image",
    "texture": "textures/ui/rocket/remaining_fuel",
    "size": [
      "25%",
      "25%"
    ],
    "layer": 10,
    "offset": [
      "-150px",
      "0px"
    ],
    "$atext": "$actionbar_text",
    "visible": "('%.14s' * $atext = 'Remaining Fuel')",
            "controls": [
            {
                "actionbar_message": {
                    "type": "label",
                    "anchor_from": "center",
                    "anchor_to": "center",
                    "color": "$tool_tip_text",
                    "layer": 31,
                    "$fuel_var" : "($actionbar_text - '%.14s' * $actionbar_text)",
                    "text": "$fuel_var",
                    "localize": false
                }
            }
        ]
  }```

I want to show what is after "Remaining Fuel"

999 in this exemple

Why is this not working ?

"$fuel_var" : "($actionbar_text - '%.14s' * $actionbar_text)",

[rocky quail]

Yep, still replacing text

[red wagon]

Too bad

The / can't be removed either, otherwise i would have said you can just prepend the current text to the button action

[tropic badger]

/ can be removed

[red wagon]

Oh wait right, i remember my buttons wrote test uwu

I'll have to tackle this again once I'm back home

Hmm what is property bag all about btw

Does it replace the need for variables/bindings?

-.- too bad you can't search in forum posts on mobile

[tropic badger]

bags of properties

u can also create a custom one acting as a variable

[red wagon]

But isn't it kinda redundant when you already have bindings

[red wagon]

Yeah i don't get it, you can't explain a word with itself

[tropic badger]

it acts like a variable since u cant override a variable with a binding

works like const/let

[warped temple]

Someone ?

[red wagon]

That i grasp 😂👍

[tropic badger]

This is a mixture of three complex systems(ignore the play button) that possibly only few knows how the hell it works.

1. Incrementing/Decrementing with using only two toggles, WITH modifiedable minimum and max values.
2. This is quite simple yet only few(perhaps only me) knows. Able to change a text using only 1 toggle without using a #visible binding.
3. Since sliders returns float and you can't add float values on a string. I turned the float to a integer! Pretty complex, it uses a technique only shane and andro knows.

I am planning to add more complex things soon

[red wagon]

Why toggles

Can't you just have 2 buttons that modify the value?

Converting float to int doesn't sound hard at all when you can just print the number

Not sure I'm impressed

[tropic badger]

tell me how would u exactly do that

[tropic badger]

print the number???

here is the video version

just as said, i modified the max value from 26 to 11

[red wagon]

string catenation/converting.

[tropic badger]

?? give an example

[red wagon]

Last is just a slider with it's text label at another position 🤷🏻‍♂️
$pressed -> property bag -> set label text?

[red wagon]

Just like you output strings to numbers or vice versa

Instead of printing it as a number you can print it as something else

print in this case means outputting to a label

[tropic badger]

"$pressed" dude do u know what ur talking about? that doesnt exist in a slider

if u know how it works then why wont you come up and give us a demonstration

[red wagon]

%.n

[red wagon]

I was talking about your button that toggles the text

Don't jump to conclusions for no reason

[tropic badger]

becauseu said the same sentence along with the slider

[red wagon]

I'm literally not at home nor have any use for it.
Why don't you share your way instead of gatekeeping and picking on others?

.-. mcpe community

[tropic badger]

give us demonstration then.. dont u think i already tried that?? if so i wouldnt be calling it complex

[red wagon]

Screw you

[tropic badger]

ah nevermind

i wont escale this, i know what ur doing

[red wagon]

You're wasting your toxicity on me ;)

At least that's how it feels

[tropic badger]

keep walking bruh

[red wagon]

Whatever.

[red wagon]

you sure you meant #visible, and not #view?

[tropic badger]

im dead bruh 💀

[hexed briar]

wtf is #view bindings

[red wagon]

Because I'm sure you can just add 2 bindings to the label and change the text then, like here https://discord.com/channels/494194063730278411/1024363997417439333

[red wagon]

The default iirc

Though it might be something I'm mixing up there because it's in that linked post

[hexed briar]

pretty sure ive never seen #view in my entire career with json-ui for the past 2 years.

yeah this thing doesn't exist

[tropic badger]

"if you use #visible instead of #view consider yourself an opp" 😭

[hexed briar]

legit thought this is some html stuff

[red wagon]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/json-ui/string-to-number.html#string-to-number

if it doesn't exist, that page needs an update

[hexed briar]

that's view bindings type.

i don't see #view anywhere here.

[red wagon]

Oh wheee i made a typo

Crazy

Anyways, I'm sure you can just use printf formatting to convert your stuff to a number, and * 1 to convert it back.

[red wagon]

I am very sorry, $toggled 🤯

Another typo man I'm so bad

[vital edge]

fair. who works with JSON UI become clinically insane

[red wagon]

Sucks to be me, right?

[vital edge]

me included (or is it just me)

[hexed briar]

good thing I retired from json-ui smh

[red wagon]

There's the point 👉 I've been insane before

imagine you'd actually have the full list of variable and property names in your mind and accessible at will

That would be mad

[hexed briar]

actually i'd love to have a full list of variables

it's pretty big sign of customizability.

[red wagon]

||crap nevermind i just realized i do for PHP 💀||

[red wagon]

I guess i meant keys

[vital edge]

client-side scripting. or the ability to pass json ui variables from the server or something so you can have multiple I/O

[hexed briar]

data passing from the server would actually be a good help tbh

no longer sticking with actionbar/title

[vital edge]

yee

that also helps with compatibility

[hexed briar]

although the chat probably still a no since there's no optional way to stack collection elements or the same way as chat does.

[red wagon]

It'd be nice to have that without workarounds, just like for entities, yup

[tropic badger]

as of now, only printf %s is only available, i saw some dude used a custom one but gatekeeped it

[tropic badger]

there is sometimes errors with vanilla bindings its making me insane

[red wagon]

Doubt

I'll check tomorrow maybe

[tropic badger]

its 9:54PM here, i have some brainstorm ideas where i would implement String.split() method from JS to JSON-UI

[red wagon]

Haha enjoy

[wraith dirge]

why isn't my gui_background covering everything?

[chilly yacht]

make the stack panel x value 100%c

[wraith dirge]

that's it, thank you so much!

[chilly yacht]

100%c adds both children up

100%cm takes the biggest one

[wraith dirge]

Ah yes, now I understand, I was very confused with these parts of % anyway

but I'm getting the hang of it

thanks for the help

[chilly yacht]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/json-ui/json-ui-documentation.html

[wraith dirge]

Another question, why does the text offset not seem to work when it is inside a stack_panel?

Is there anything I need to do?

[undone marsh]

You can't offset elements in stack panel

[wraith dirge]

How do I make the text stay a little lower then?

[undone marsh]

Padding

[obsidian crest]

you can't offset or anchor in a stack_panel, but you can move items by either nesting it inside of another panel, or adding padding which is just an empty panel to fill spac

[wraith dirge]

got it, thank you !

[wraith dirge]

Understood, thank you so much for the help guys !

[chilly yacht]

yeah we had this issue too

you just put the child into a panel inside of the stack panel

then offset the child thats in the panel

[vagrant nova]

guys How do i space the buttons?

[marsh coral]

Hello, again you see a question that is always repeated here but is there a way to make one button bigger than another?

[vagrant nova]

yeah but this is more like drop down

oh

sorry got confused

[tropic badger]

wrong channel

dynamic text splitting 👀

[rocky quail]

Nice

[wind walrus]

huh how is that achieved?

[tropic badger]

gatekeep

[patent bramble]

Can json UI react to damage sensors?

I want to on damage taken force render and derender the inventory screen in the same frame

[wind walrus]

bruh why? people like you are the problem with this community and how slowly anyone progresses lol

[left yew]

💀❓️

[hexed briar]

technically it kinda exists but only when you take damage.

[patent bramble]

That’s all I need

[hexed briar]

it wasn't good aswell since sometimes it doesn't work.

[patent bramble]

I just need to figure out how to force render a UI now

Probably something to do with bindings

All in same tick:

damage sensor{}
Force Render inventory
Grab item data of slot.armor[0-3]
Write these to a var
Derender inventory

I doubt something like this is possible

[hexed briar]

inventory needs to be in player interaction.

pretty sure you can't force the inventory screen on.

but scripting should be able to fetch the armor data

[patent bramble]

I’ve seen methods that always show

[patent bramble]

Can’t use scripting with this

purely source pack sided

[hexed briar]

those methods always required player interaction first.

[patent bramble]

So not possible as of now?

[hexed briar]

well yeah, again. you can't force player to open inventory screen out of nowhere

[patent bramble]

Is there a way to force close it?

[hexed briar]

yes, only if you take damage.

[patent bramble]

cause I know you can do that with chat screen

[patent bramble]

Exactly what I wanted anyways

that and tie it to a toggle

Custom setting almost
“close UI on taking damage”

[hexed briar]

i don't think that's gonna work with toggles though.

since the property are, kinda hardcoded

[patent bramble]

I’ll eventually find a way

just don’t let the program flow reach the setting unless toggle is true?

[hexed briar]

Json-UI is always cached.

[patent bramble]

Ah

Was worth a shot

[tropic badger]

Trust me alot of people gatekeep here, i feel the same as how you feel about me. I've shared great things to the community yet only few people appreciated it 👍

Bare-minimum, its a miracle i even get "thank you".

[wind walrus]

sharing resources is how anything progresses faster, if everyone had the same mindset as you we probably wouldn't even have a hundred people interested in json ui , yes a lot of people gatekeep and it's why stuff like you are doing here isn't even thought possible (since I'm guessing most would say it's impossible if asked as a question)

[left yew]

Theres a supply and demand aspect to it.

Sharing resources could speed up everyone's progress, but not sharing also manages to keep quality and creativity high within the community.

[tropic badger]

at that point is it even worth it??

[wind walrus]

by sharing better tools and resources with the community you also improve the minimum quality of everything

[wind walrus]

if I payed you would you share it with the community? if so how much would you ask for it?

[tropic badger]

no

[left yew]

Can also degrade it.

[wind walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-i-tried-failed-gif-651108877742286622

well I'll figure it out eventually and share it with everyone but you definitely have some work to do on yourself man, gatekeeping at it's finest

[left yew]

If you expect the world to hand everything out. You need to work on yourself

[tropic badger]

thats what i did, i figured it out eventually 👍

[wind walrus]

didn't I just say that I would pay him for figuring it out?

also why are you coming into the discussion so hard for no reason man? I have been literally replying only to him

[left yew]

Its a public channel

take it to dms if you dont want another person to answer

[wind walrus]

I'm just saying it seems like you want stuff to be gatekeept for no reason

[left yew]

I don't care if its gatekept or not really.

I could spend the time and figure it out like Theorist if I wanted to.

If I were to dump zeqa's ui files in here for fun. How many ppl do u think will take it 1:1

Because even without me doing that I've seen it, hence why I gatekeep specific things I work on too.

[wind walrus]

yes the point of this is not something super diffcult or crazy to do, just that takes time to figure out and since someone already did it why would they not spare everyone elses time for the greater cause of improving everyone? to the point of not even accepting payment for it

[left yew]

Why should someone have to.

[wind walrus]

that's entierly different, you would be sharing the creative process of something, not the tools needed to achieve it

[left yew]

Why should I share my progress and how to do it.

just because someone offered me money?

[wind walrus]

because we are human and wanna help each other out?

for no gain?

[tropic badger]

time ≠ money

[left yew]

You're wrong again if you think that.

Not everyone will not everyone has to.

[wind walrus]

I never said he has to, but I offered him compesation for the work he put into it too, which he reject for the sole fact of gatekeeping

[left yew]

So once again, why Should he accept the payment and not gatekeep.

[wind walrus]

.

[left yew]

Not everyone will not everyone has to.

You see how that works right?

[wind walrus]

yeah I see how your mind works and it's sad

[left yew]

Explain how my mind works.

Just because I dont want to give handouts means it's sad?

[wind walrus]

you think only about your personal gain instead of the improvement of others

[left yew]

Welcome to the real world.

[tropic badger]

explain otDan taxes

[wind walrus]

welcome to your world, not mine sorry

[left yew]

I mean

if i own discord

and u want the method for lets say

How the message system works

and youre competition

why should i share it

[lament shoal]

that would just get rid of everyone's creativity if everything was shared

if everyone used hive ui then no servers would be unique. its more better to experience yourself to so that you actually can gain some shape or form of knowledge

[wind walrus]

exactly welcome to your world, not mine, you probably also use public resources, open source projects but you reject the fact that such a world would be ideal, if it wasn't for people that think like this everything would be corporate

[wind walrus]

you are talking about sharing a finished product, not the tools to make something like that

[left yew]

So your logic being,

Hive uis finished lets share it so everyone can use it...?

[lament shoal]

[wind walrus]

how is that what you got from any of my messages?

[tropic badger]

When i started here i too asked questions but get replied with either ?json-ui/json-ui-is-hard so alright i learned JSON-UI. I once saw a guy made a cool system, i asked how but i haven't got a reply. I asked why? They replied to me again to learn json-ui. Now im better than them. It's all environmental factors man, i understand what u feel, i already got in your shoes.

Trust me once you make a cool unique system, you wouldnt share it.

[buoyant anvil]

so you're saying everyone should just be willing to give up their public assets and tools

Exactly.

[buoyant anvil]

as a json ui dev myself, I wholeheartedly agree.

pls

[lament shoal]

im curious

[wind walrus]

yes

[tropic badger]

I will ask you this question..

Let's say you made a cool unique system, so revolutionary, so game-changing. Would you share it to everybody else, the thing that makes you different from everybody else.

Would you risk it just for it to be stolen with no credits and even a "thank you"? At that point, is it even worth sharing?

[wind walrus]

yeah gatekeeper squad came to the rescue

[outer bridge]

Y'all have way better documentation than when I started out, it's generally pretty easy to figure out how stuff works at this point. Not to sound like an old man but back in my day we had to brute force and reverse engineer the game to figure out how to make stuff work and write the documentation.

[left yew]

o7

[wind walrus]

sure but wouldn't you say what you had back in the day was worse?

[buoyant anvil]

well I mean back when I did ui for fortnite it was fairly straight forward

we had a good community and documentaion

[left yew]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-24015903

[wind walrus]

I'm not saying reverse engeneering is bad especially since it lets you learn a lot, just that if you can avoid doing it by having great documentation (especially if made by the actual developers of the product) isn't it better?

Objectively yes, there were worse things that existed and it took a lot of collaboration between people to contribute and write up all the knowledge.

[buoyant anvil]

chatgbt is bad for translating

[outer bridge]

Although really at this point I think we've documented most of the things people are practically going to use. Most things can be figured out with bindings, operations, split text, preserved text, and variables just by reading the wiki.

@tropic badger how do clip ratios work? idk how to do this json "bar": { "type": "panel", "size": [ 182, 20 ], "controls": [ { "full_bar": { "type": "image", "texture": "textures/ui/experience_bar_full_blue", "clip_direction": "left", "layer": 2, "property_bag": { "#progress": 0.5 }, "bindings": [ { "binding_name": "#progress", "binding_name_override": "#clip_ratio", "binding_type": "global" } ] } }, { "empty_bar": { "type": "image", "texture": "textures/ui/experience_bar_empty_blue", "layer": 1 } } ] }

[tropic badger]

add size to the texture

it slices the image not resize

[undone marsh]

Damn but ain't it too many bindings

[tropic badger]

5 is the total, but only 3 bindings were used, well to collect 3 datas

[undone marsh]

Oh

I think I got how it works but this isn't useful to me anyways

[tropic badger]

yeah me too, haven't do anything with it but it considered as a complex(time complex)

[undone marsh]

If you could've saved those values it'd be used as an in-game config changer

[tropic badger]

why do that?

[undone marsh]

To save hud "modules" like armorhud without going to the files like config.json (only if it was possible to save the text values)

[tender flare]

how did you see it though? but yeah im not really active tbh

[uneven epoch]

are you able to delay a screen from opening with json ui? meaning like after i open the screen there is still time do stuff (move around and hit) before it actually opens? such as a server form screen for example

[tropic badger]

wait animation

oh wait nvm

thats not possible

[uneven epoch]

no problem thank you for the confirmation

[red wagon]

Popped up as typing 😅

[obsidian crest]

i feel like you can just do that in scripts?

[vagrant nova]

how do i make a scene like a animation

[patent bramble]

anyone know how I would add a new toggle to the pause menu?

[split hare]

Noob question... how are people using the preserved title text example in the wiki for anything useful? it feels like for 99% of cases, we would NOT want to have the title text pop up for people every time you want to update the hud element. is there a way to do this while hiding the title text itself?

[uneven epoch]

I need it not in scripts so like I can't do it so it's fine

More specifically not in beh

[wraith dirge]

One question, whenever the action bar text changes from 0 to 10, it adds 1 to the char and breaks the string formatting, so how can I make this work?
I have a scoreboard that goes up to a maximum of 999, but when adding a decimal place it breaks the formatting, how do I do it?

[tropic badger]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/json-ui/json-ui-intro.html#conditional-rendering-with-bindings

[split hare]

Thanks.. I guess I just assumed that because the tutorial sais it requires the visibility on the title text to change in order to update, that if i edited the visibility on the main title text element that it would no longer work. Guess that is not the case. much appreciated.

[wraith dirge]

any idea ?

my code:

works normally with 1 decimal place, but when it changes to 2, it breaks (for example, enemies from 1 to 10, when it reaches 10, it breaks the string formatting)

stats.stats_text_factory/waves_text | JSON UI parse failure - expected a string.

here's my code but it doesnt work

[rocky quail]

That's not how the vanilla hud_screen is written... is that ai generated?

[chilly yacht]

yes

"heart_renderer": {
  "ignored": true
}

[vagrant nova]

how do i change the background of the dropdown

[vagrant nova]

and button texture

[hexed briar]

insane AI generated

absolutely nothing makes sense to me

[tropic badger]

it very close

[vagrant nova]

i got the dropdown background image blank

but i need to change the button of dropdown to blank

how do i do it?

[tropic badger]

button borderless white probably

[vagrant nova]

which part of the code?

[tropic badger]

"$default_texture": "textures/ui/button_borderless_light",
"$hover_texture": "textures/ui/button_borderless_lightpressednohover",
"$pressed_texture": "textures/ui/button_borderless_lighthover",
    "$pressed_no_hover_texture": "textures/ui/button_borderless_lightpressed",
"$locked_texture": "textures/ui/disabledButtonNoBorder",

on ur dropdown

just edit the texture

[tropic badger]

ye

edit ur texture there

[vagrant nova]

i made the texture blank

alr

imma test

damn

it works

now how do i replace text with a image?

like insert a image here

@tropic badger one last ping, how do i make this invisible without editting the common_ui files

[tropic badger]

invisible what?

[vagrant nova]

the background

[tropic badger]

"$dropdown_background_control": "common.empty_panel"

in ur dropdown

[tropic badger]

u cant do that, the dropdown ur using is binded to only for text

[vagrant nova]

okay maybe i can use a emoiji like thing?

[tropic badger]

ye

[vagrant nova]

how do keep distance for every dropdown

[sly gorge]

This thing renders the heart right?

[hexed briar]

yeah.

unfortunately these things use a custom type. so it kinda not possible to change it's texture, individual positions and etc.

[sly gorge]

I changed the size to 20,20 💀

Let's see what happens.

[hexed briar]

instead, you can move them with "offset" or "anchor_<from/to>"

changing size probably does nothing since the hardcoded size for these custom renderers are 9x9.

[sly gorge]

Oh :(

What can I do with it then lol?

[hexed briar]

move them maybe.

another thing is, you can add your own image and text.

as separate elements.

[sly gorge]

"anchor_from": "top_right", "anchor_to": "top_right",
Let's see what happens 🙏

[hexed briar]

this will change the element position to top right of your screen/element.

[sly gorge]

Lemme see how it looks :D

[sly gorge]

:(

This happened ing.

Just a couple pixels above.

[hexed briar]

alot elements has quite a lot of element stacking so something like that will happen.

[sly gorge]

Oh no.

:(

[sly gorge]

My bad I put it in Armor renderer.

[hexed briar]

"my_own_element": {
    "type": "image",
    "texture": "textures/ui/heart",
    "size": [ 9, 9 ]
  },
  "hud_content": {
    "controls": [
      {
        "[email protected]_own_element": {}
      },
      {
        "[email protected]_panel": {}
      },
      {
        "editor_gizmo_renderer@editor_gizmo_renderer": {
          "ignored": "(not $is_editor_mode_enabled)"
        }
      },
      {
        "camera_renderer@camera_renderer": {}
      }
    ]
  },```

[hexed briar]

this basically adds heart texture to middle of your screen. it is just a dummy and not a functional thing.

you can mess around with it

[wraith dirge]

One question, whenever the action bar text changes from 0 to 10, it adds 1 to the char and breaks the string formatting, so how can I make this work?
I have a scoreboard that goes up to a maximum of 999, but when adding a decimal place it breaks the formatting, how do I do it?

(Using %.4s stuff)

[sly gorge]

Oh thanks.

[sly gorge]

It still ain't working smhw :(

[hexed briar]

i guess don't put it on literally everything

just read the name of the element correctly and modify as you will.

Oh, forgot to mention that.

make sure the code syntax vaild.

I've seen alot of beginners casually missing out on code syntax and wondering why is their stuff not working.

[sly gorge]

Yea, so happy to finish my ui

[sly gorge]

Okay dammit, i have to make smth.

[sly gorge]

In json ui there's no possible way to run a command when a button is clicked, right? So do I need to do some work arounds with Server Ui forms with scripting?

[tropic badger]

ye

but me and timothy found a way to run a command using only toggle: https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1251734024548909067 bit scuffed

tho

[patent bramble]

So if I did create a custom json UI toggle. What other files can it actually interact with?

[tropic badger]

ui files only

[patent bramble]

so no way to tie it to the player’s
entity files

Does that just make resource pack sided UI completely useless?

[tropic badger]

yes

[patent bramble]

Like it need a behaviour pack to do anything

[tropic badger]

yes absolutely

[patent bramble]

Guess there’s no point in me learning it then

since I work with just resource packs

[tropic badger]

it just there

[left yew]

Idk how to phrase this other than

Does it change the textbox on each press, or is it all mapped together using various methods

[tropic badger]

it changes

[tropic badger]

Update on my complex systems:

This is a mixture of three complex systems(ignore the play button) that possibly only few knows how the hell it works.

1. Incrementing/Decrementing with using only two toggles, WITH modifiedable minimum and max values.
2. This is quite simple yet only few knows. Able to change a text using only 1 toggle without using a #visible binding.
3. Since sliders returns float and you can't add float values on a string. I turned the float to a integer! Pretty complex, it uses a technique only shane and andro knows.
4. Dynamic text splitting, it does not use %.Xs flags, you know it's dynamic because even if i put obnoxious amount of spaces it still work. The thing that can seperate them is a comma which is also modifiedable.

This type of stuff takes abnormal amount of time, i won't be sharing yet, please don't start an argument here again.

Yes, you'd have to read the value from the scoreboard collection, compare it to some value, and display it based on that condition

Lovely

[sly gorge]

:\ I never understand what's bindings and controls. Maybe I will read this thing again D:

[sly gorge]

Guys what is #hardtext?

[chilly yacht]

a binding

[sly gorge]

What does it do

[chilly yacht]

binds

which file did you find it in?

i think its just an example

but basically you can reassign bindings

so if u wanna do (#hardtext - 'Hello World!')

you can reassign it to like #hardtext2

[left yew]

Yeah, default MC's is ugly imo

[tropic tangle]

Damn even the emote screen

MC China still has the good looking one not the ugly cube one Mojang added

[hexed briar]

they probably still use the old 6 emote slots which, are hexagon.

bedrock actually used to have 6 emote slots. though kinda got downgraded to 4 emote for whatever reason

[tropic badger]

the assets are still there though? backwards compatibility?

ill probably remake it

wait what update version did they update the emote wheel again?

[left yew]

Probably some dumb reason too

First time enabling since it was made 😅

[tropic badger]

Custom selection wheel 👍

[undone marsh]

@broken trail could you check dms please?

[tropic tangle]

That's what i meant, it was way better

[undone marsh]

Another hive copy

[hexed briar]

probably a sacrifice for the controllers.

they also implemented a fast emote system aka "emote button + corresponding keys"

don't exactly know any behind story to it but, honestly with 6 slots and without any way to do fast emote in a controller. it kinda annoying to most people including me (although i barely use emote anyways)

not everyone does the gta wheel thing i guess

i cant type properly because im on phone. but theres a section on the bedrock wiki regarding JSON UI and conditional bindings

[sly gorge]

:O

How can I get the hud title text?

And put it in a lable of another element?

[hexed briar]

depends, there's 2 versions of that system.

you can hold the emote button and press any corresponding keys

or you can just do the same but without holding

hold version is probably slower.

[left yew]

Yeah that

seems slower

I dont understand the concept of it tho

like ill hold the emote button instead of clicking it?

Like you gotta click both either way anyways

[hexed briar]

i guess its probably best for those who doesn't want to touch mouse

but for controller, it seems a massive improvement to me

[left yew]

Even then, you can do both with no mouse

just a weird addition

idk 😭

me either

controller on another hand, there's no such things before that so

gotta do the gtav scroll wheel thing

prolly not

[left yew]

But yeah, havent seen this mentioned before so I thought I'd send it

if the bug was mojang fault via their own UI

they probably gonna fix it

if it was user generated json-ui or something that isn't mojang fault, absolutely not.

[vital edge]

if the particular use was for something that wasnt intended, i dont think it will be honored. like if you do weird workarounds and stuff.

[rocky quail]

highlikely not, unless its game breaking or affects marketplace then they will probably fix it

[tropic badger]

Damn i was gonna report a bug on factories not cloning an element animations.

Anyways why ui can't handle numbers greater than 999999999? Is that consideres long int?

perhaps a mem limit was imposed

why can't #playername work?

[signal beacon]

Ñ

[gloomy nova]

The #playername binding at minimum only works in the start_screen and pause_screen. The other screens don't set that binding.

How can I move the buttons from my form to the top left if the image is e. g. "loading"

[tropic badger]

There should be a global data binding smh

[languid arrow]

What's the website again to add this to the server?

[hexed briar]

@left yew might wanna see this lmao

how is this spreading like wild fire is beyond me

this random pvp server pack is now suddenly more skidded than hive now.

[tropic tangle]

Hive Looking ah emojis

font looks sick tho

[tropic tangle]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/concepts/emojis.html

this has nothing to do with json ui btw

[hexed briar]

yeah this whole emojis are actually from zeqa... again

[tropic tangle]

Because they don't encrypt their packs

People who decrypt server-packs oftentimes won't just go and spread it around, but if its just there to take i don't think they bother

[hexed briar]

well they used to encrypt their packs before and then things goes haywire or something i would say "imposter from among us" moment and decided to leaks literally everything

seeing that emojis set, im guessing it's still from the leaked version.

[tropic tangle]

😂

@past stirrup you got perms to delete things? If so can you delete this.

Thx bro

didnt u literally just grab the texture 💀

oh im stupid

sorry

Also chat the leak happened in like 2022 if not early 2023 lol

anyone know why i get errors

thats not ui, thats #1067869288859447416

json ui channel is probably the most dead channel that you could break rules here and mods wont see

[tropic badger]

does anyone know how can i make nineslice repeat its pattern instead of just expanding it

[gloomy nova]

try using it with the tiled/tiled_scale. maybe the devs are smarto

[rocky quail]

Use tiled, like the credits screen does

[chilly yacht]

on the image panel use “tiled”: true

[cunning bridge]

is it possible to make an element clip/crop the pixels of the children element that are placed on the empty pixel of the of it?
like if i place a red square png on a white circle png, i want the red square to take the shape of the of the circle

you cant make circled canvas so clips children still takes the shape of a square, what you can do is layer them

is there anything diff

No they haven't started anything really

It's begun

Furnace screen too**

There's more progress on the furnace than hud tho

[rocky quail]

Real (from livemc)

No more custom hud

[hexed briar]

wild

took em like nearly 2 years to progress something with ore-ui

[left yew]

Yeah

seen them else where but yeah those are them

[left yew]

also they could make it so you could choose which to use

but i doubt it since its mojang

[hexed briar]

they do used to automatically turn the ore-ui to json-ui if you're using resource packs

though now it no longer exists.

i still dislike the new bed screen since that is literally a reused screen from the death screen with bit of fading gradient background anims.

[rocky quail]

Same, it also got rid of the chat button

[left yew]

The new in game uis dont even use ore ui designs for me lol

the buttons are still the old ones

[hexed briar]

well ore-ui's in-game does resource pack support. (also json-ui's global variables.)

so it kinda fetches the json-ui textures and calls it a day

though only textures because the font is still ore-ui's .ttf based.

[opal aurora]

they need to actually improve the performance first, ore ui is so slow while having too many objects

[rocky quail]

yeah, and the play screen is really slow when you have many worlds

[hexed briar]

gotta love html pages

[opal aurora]

it can't even be compared with how i did a year ago, 20k controls/objects in a single screen for just percentage labels

and it still performed better than ore ui

[thorn path]

I'm just learning JSON UI, is there an easiest tutorial to understand JSON UI?

[tropic tangle]

they better do or 90% of maps will break

[left yew]

Yep

I love dying and needing to restart the gane because the death screen just won't load

[hexed briar]

i don't know what did they do this time but they actually bought the oldest bug back with ore-ui death screen

[opal aurora]

Should I take a look at that bug report?

[hexed briar]

honestly, don't.

it's somehow the old "infinite loading" bug that was both server desyncs and UI refusing to give acknowledge that it shouldn't be there after the player is respawned.

After Ore-UI's death screen got fully out in stable, that bug was now just back and now actually pretty common just like it's old variant.

[left yew]

and its sad how most things like this is limited to dev versions

[tropic badger]

can u override achievement screen to json ui

[left yew]

Pretty sure u can't even on Dev Versions

Or at least these were the only ones I found in preview files

[opal aurora]

the only way is to modify game data, or wait until they add ore ui customization compatibility (may take ♾️ time)

[tropic tangle]

Big Brain move to roll out game breaking changes without keeping support for jsonui if that's true 🔥

theyve had other old scrapped concepts

there was a repository with a really old version of ore ui

Is it possible to index into an array variable?

I need to write a condition based on $grid_position which is an array of two numbers, and I want to be able to access that first number in $grid_position

I tried using something like $grid_position[0] and $grid_position.x but both threw errors

[hexed briar]

yeah there was, though the UI was shown as to be some concepts, here's the same UI but pretty high quality, which are also from 5 years ago.
https://youtu.be/im7elh5O76c

the font on this thing still screams html to me.

[tropic badger]

those dont exist, you cant

[viral oxide]

hmm, any suggestions to detect every other slot in a grid?

[tropic badger]

what are you checking?

[viral oxide]

I have a container and what i was trying to do was check when the slots index mod 2 was 0 to detect every other slot so i can style them differently

I also tried looking into $index which someone suggested to me, but it was always 0

How do I create a new group in the creative inventory?

[tropic badger]

do you have ur grid item?

[viral oxide]

its a custom grid item yes, it inherits from @common.container_item

[tropic badger]

You can get an grid item collection index then display them so you can track on which column/row is it.

      ...
"bindings": [
      {
        "binding_type": "collection_details",

        "binding_collection_name": "players_collection",
        "binding_name": "#collection_index"
      }
     ]
   }
}

edit players_collection to what collection ur using

        ]
    },

Like this? For now im trying to check if its at index 0, but nothing changed

[tropic badger]

i dont think it suppose to work like that..

you cant change size binding with a binding so my offered solution will probably not work on your case

ill definitely experiment tho

[viral oxide]

is size uniquely something you cant change with a binding?

[tropic badger]

yes

[viral oxide]

damn lol

Holy guys ive recreated the fricking modulo

theres finally a freaking modulo on json ui

that means i can do Math.floor stuff

shit

im so excited

[rocky quail]

what nc

[tropic badger]

Ah JSON-UI floating point imprecision bruh

ive tested if it should return 4 then check if 4 > 4 is supposed to run false but no

not equal to 4 either

[viral oxide]

you might have to add in some tolerances to ur checks

[viral oxide]

How do you do modulo? I might need it at some point soon for my slots thingy

[tropic badger]

(#dividend - (#divisor * (#dividend / #divisor)))

[tropic badger]

yep checking precisions rn

@viral oxide can i ask about precisions stuff

do you have ideas on that topic?

        "text": {
          "type": "label",
          
          "size": [ "default", "default" ],
          "text": "#text",
           
          "property_bag": {
            "#dividend": 4.5,
            "#divisor": 1,
            
            "#highest_prec": 4.501
          },
          
          "bindings": [
            {
              "binding_type": "view",
              "source_property_name": "(#dividend - (#divisor * (#dividend / #divisor)))",
              "target_property_name": "#calc"
            },
            {
              "binding_type": "view",
              "source_property_name": "(#dividend - #calc)",
              "target_property_name": "#divided"
            },
            {
              "binding_type": "view",
              "source_property_name": "('Value: ' + (#divided = #highest_prec))",
              "target_property_name": "#text"
            }
          ]
        }

basically it doing #divided < 4.500 returns false and #divided < 4.501 returns true so it must be the answer but when i compare them by #divided = 4.501 it returns false, which is expected but i was wondering if i can minus the extra float on there by getting the exact float imprecision there

[viral oxide]

i think u basically never want to do an exact equals check, u would probably want to do this instead of an equals 4.499 <= #divided <= 4.501. There are just some numbers that the float format can never represent because its not precise enough

[tropic badger]

so basically we pick on which do we get on that?

Because json ui cant show a float

i need to get an integer

dont worry, so am i

[hexed briar]

@fathom pivot gotta realize that i don't open dms or answer them.

and stop dming me to help with json-ui related smh

[fathom pivot]

ok

[viral oxide]

That’s interesting, it can’t display floats at all?

[tropic badger]

yep

[viral oxide]

Are all numbers in json-ui not just floats by default? Or are they mixing types?

[tropic badger]

I think they Math.floor it but not the same when theres unprecised floats

[tropic tangle]

is there any way to remove those spammy errors?

or exclude them from the logs

[tropic badger]

add #null to an empty $button_text

[viral oxide]

Also is there a way to get rid of the padding between elements that are controls of a grid?

[crimson warren]

Hi! I've been learning the basics for ui last update, I haven't played in a while and in this new update the ui I made has this missing texture thing, does anyone know what could it be?

And how could I fix it

[viral oxide]

I imagine this would get caught by the content logger?

any errors there saying what texture is missing?

[crimson warren]

[Texture][warning]-The block named zm:banana_stem used in a "blocks.json" file does not exist in the registry

[Texture][warning]-The block named zm:banana_tree_stem used in a "blocks.json" file does not exist in the registry

[Texture][warning]-The block named zm:green_fire used in a "blocks.json" file does not exist in the registry

[Texture][warning]-The block named zm:saddle_support used in a "blocks.json" file does not exist in the registry

[Texture][warning]-The block named zm:vase used in a "blocks.json" file does not exist in the registry

this is the only texture related stuff I get

but those for block I already erased so they don't matter

[viral oxide]

Is it possible to set the collection_index of a slot? Right now all my slots are displaying the same one inventory slot all at once

[opal aurora]

yes

[tall plover]

would i be possible to adapt realm's feed's screenshot picker into a screenshot viewer pack?

[opal aurora]

with the introduction of ore ui, it's no longer possible

[hexed briar]

at the current minecraft's UI state, it's no longer recommended to learn Json-UI unless you want to modify it for fun pain.

[chilly yacht]

unless they have a tool to convert JSON UI to ore UI I highly doubt it'll be removed on release.

[left yew]

Or Hopefully they allow you to declare if you want to use ore ui or json ui.

Which I assume they will because think of all the MP maps.

[chilly yacht]

Yeah hopefully

I mean yes they did remove render offsets. BUT there was an alternative in the game since armor was a thing so

They wont just replace JSON UI with Ore UI

[left yew]

Exactly

[viral oxide]

i saw this in someones github. while not code to do that, it seems like the game allows format strings. so you could probably format a string with like %d to floor a float passed in, which you could then convert back to a number?

[tropic badger]

I don't know C++ that much, i have zero idea on how will that work

'%d' * #float doesnt seem to work

[viral oxide]

dang

btw, is it possible to detect a substring is in a string?

i tried doing a '.%.26s' to pull the first 26 characters of a string, but this seems to hard freeze the game lol

hmmm smaller strings seem to work fine

[hexed briar]

even if that the case, they would rather limit to only server forms and npc screens.

they might even do the same thing with block geometry limit in marketplace where certain UUID bypasses that certain limit.

after all, they doesn't seem to like people modifying json-ui and would slam with "we don't support json-ui edit in add-ons"

[tall plover]

is oreui not possible to modify?

[opal aurora]

because it's now very locked behind "realms stories", which is based on ore ui

[tropic tangle]

we don't want people to create impressive things grrrrrr

[hexed briar]

yeah, i have zero clue why.

i did ask them whenever the reasons for not having the official json-ui docs to the public and they basically slam with that comment.

[tropic tangle]

lmao but they officially support it since every marketplace-map uses it

[hexed briar]

yea at this point idrk anymore

and having modifiable ore-ui seems pretty dim to me aswell

but who knows.

[crimson warren]

Anyone? 🥲

[brave bough]

Is it possible to create buttons for a slider that will increase or decreasy slider value?

[potent nacelle]

idk but you always can create custom slider with its value in script and update slider after pressing the buttons

[oak shoal]

hi, does anyone have a json ui that when I send a specific message in the chat, it changes the message to an image, like I send "thirst_1", a drop of water appears, I want it to be by title, and it has to be an image, non-unicode

[viral oxide]

i remember a while back someone made an emoji pack which did this exact same idea

take a look around for that

#1052351840899059803 message

[oak shoal]

but, I want it to be by image

what you sent me is unicode

[viral oxide]

i did some experiementing with this today because i ideally need to get a floor operator for an expression i'm writing

I found that it is converting floats to a decimal... but it has a bug in it where it reads the floating point number as if it was a 32 bit integer instead of a 32 bit float

which means that the resulting value is nowhere near correct because it multiplied the number with the wrong number format

I also tried formatting the float to the nearest number with '%.0f` but that seems to not return anything

Actually.. are you sure that division doesn't just floor anyway? I did a number / 4 and it returned as the nearest floored integer anyway

[winged flicker]

Hello, how can I define the texture of an image or the text of a label element with a url?

[tropic badger]

I think so, i haven't tested much

it works well with whole numbers when dividing

[viral oxide]

Ahh

[valid ridge]

hello, short question, how do i add another "not" binding?
like how do i mix these two?

"source_property_name": "((#title_text - '§c§h§e§s§t') = #title_text)",

"source_property_name": "((#title_text - 'CHOOSE YOUR FACTION') = #title_text)",

[rocky quail]

Try this

(((#title_text - '§c§h§e§s§t') = #title_text) (not #title_text - 'CHOOSE YOUR FACTION') = #title_text)))

[chilly yacht]

no

[chilly yacht]

just do ```json
"source_property_name": "((#title_text - '§c§h§e§s§t' - 'CHOOSE YOUR FACTION') = #title_text)",

then when u flag, u use not

not #text - 'CHOOSE YOUR FACTION' = #text

This UI move the action bar ontop the hungerbar

But when under water, there's the bubble bar, how can I move it ontop of the bubble bar if the it appears?

[digital finch]

traileks

They wont just replace JSON UI with Ore UI

[west dawn]

well...

[tropic tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-stupid-brainlet-wojak-meme-gif-17170021

[tropic tangle]

It absolutely wouldn't lmfao

Wasting thousands of $ if not ten-thousands spent on making them, wasting the potential and relying on something buggy and bad in the current state

Yeah backwards-compatibility is the biggest reason for it to stay

[gray granite]

🥺

Anyone could help wuth this

[hexed briar]

eh no it would not.

this thing is still quite laggy often time overheating most people's devices if it stays idle, so no thanks.

[gray granite]

I just want to move up the action bar text if the bubble bar appears

[graceful elbow]

const form = new ActionFormData()
  .title("Clans")
  .body("")
  .button("Join")
  .button("create")
  .button("list")
  .button("back")

  

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe(clan =>{
    const { source, itemStack } = clan
    switch(itemStack.typeId) {
        case "minecraft:compass": form.show(source); break;
    }
})

how do i add another form when i click on create?

[oak verge]

wrong channel
also where is your response handler

[tropic tangle]

Yeah its whatever had that discussion too many times, there is no benifit in forcing creators to use OreUI, its terrible in its current state

[valid ridge]

const form1 = new ActionFormData()
  .title("Clans")
  .body("")
  .button("Join")
  .button("create")
  .button("list")
  .button("back");

const form2 = new ActionFormData()
  .title("CREATE")
  .body("test")
  .button("0")
  .button("1")
  .button("2")
  .button("3");

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((clan) => {
  const { source: player, itemStack } = clan;
  if (itemStack.typeId == "minecraft:compass") {
    form1.show(player).then((e) => {
      if (e.canceled) return;
      switch (e.selection) {
        case 0: // if selected Join
          player.sendMessage(`selected JOIN`)
          break;

        case 1: // if selected create
          player.sendMessage(`selected CREATE`)
          form2.show(player)
          //other codes
          break;

        case 2: // if selected list
        player.sendMessage(`selected LIST`)
          break;

        case 3:// if selected back
        player.sendMessage(`selected BACK`)
          break;
      }
    });
  }
});

[valid ridge]

when will OreUI will be out?

does JSON UI really ending?

well he asked🤷‍♂️

[green oak]

ore ui already comes out
but it is not known when this fully replaces json ui and will be become modifiable with addons

[valid ridge]

damn, i just have started learning json ui, should I just stop?

[green oak]

idk
anyway you don't have alternatives, but more likely all json ui interfaces will stop working, unless backward compatibility is made

anyone can help me with this plshttps://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1259332375939256343

[uneven epoch]

How can I decrease the padding between the grid size?

"mob_effect_grid": {
    "type": "grid",
    "size": [
        150,
        "default"
    ],
    "grid_item_template": "mob_effect.mob_effect_grid_item",
    "grid_dimension_binding": "#mob_effect_grid_size",
    "collection_name": "mob_effects_collection",
    "bindings": [
        {
            "binding_name": "#mob_effect_grid_size"
        }
    ]
},

[chilly yacht]

make the child smaller

find mob_effect.mob_grid_item

[uneven epoch]

"mob_effect_grid_item": {
    "type": "panel",
    "size": [
        240,
        30
    ],
    "controls": [
        {
            "name@mob_effect.effect_name": {
                "layer": 5
            }
        },
        {
            "timer@mob_effect.effect_timer": {
                "layer": 5
            }
        },
        {
            "icon@mob_effect.effect_icon": {
                "layer": 5
            }
        }
    ]
},

The individual name timer and icon I already made smaller

So would I change 30 to something smaller?

[chilly yacht]

try making that panel smaller

[uneven epoch]

And it worked

[chilly yacht]

also why are u doing grid

[uneven epoch]

Thanks

[chilly yacht]

why not use stack panel?

[uneven epoch]

Its just the vanilla mob effects thingy idk

[chilly yacht]

oh

[uneven epoch]

Lol might need to fix my stuff again

[chilly yacht]

u can just rewrite it

[uneven epoch]

Uh well I'm not that good

[uneven epoch]

Anyone know why the mob effect screen absorbs all my hotkey buttons?

    "[email protected]_screen": {
        "close_on_player_hurt": false,
        "should_steal_mouse": true,
        "is_modal": false,
        "always_accepts_input": false,
        "absorbs_input": false,
        "is_showing_menu": false,
        "low_frequency_rendering": true,
        "render_only_when_topmost": true,
        "render_game_behind": true,
        "force_render_below": true,
        "$screen_animations": [],
        "$screen_content": "mob_effect.main_screen"
    }

[tropic badger]

Just found out interesting stuff, turns out we can add new buttons on form_buttons collection and heck the script can read it too. Client Side -> Server Side on JSON-UI lol

[tropic badger]

Why are you using so many properties? What are you trying to achieve?

[uneven epoch]

Kind of just took this from the web, basically whenever you open your mob effects gui it wont actually show a screen and it will instead show on the side of the screen but it seems to be absorbing all my hotkey inputs

[tropic badger]

Remove all that, add property force_render_below to true on mob-effects screen then add always_accept_input to true on HUD.

[chilly yacht]

what does this mean

[uneven epoch]

so its always_accept_input and not always_accepts_input?

Yeah now none of my keyboard works

[tropic badger]

Example there is two buttons you created via script, so the index should only be 0 and 1 right?

Now make a button that has collection index to 2, then check if response.selection in script is 2, it will work.

[tropic badger]

Which do you mean? WASD?

[uneven epoch]

Appreciate the help I kind of just put it on my sidebar with scripts instead and it doeant look too bad

[chilly yacht]

oh, yeah i knew that

[uneven epoch]

Can't move mouse or any inputs don't work

[chilly yacht]

i used collection indexes in a UI of mine but its laggy if u place lots of buttons

[chilly yacht]

cause u have a menu open

[uneven epoch]

Exactly

Think I need
"is_showing_menu": false,

[chilly yacht]

is there a way to move when in a menu?

[uneven epoch]

Yeah I can move now

[tropic badger]

^ @chilly yacht

[uneven epoch]

But now my mouse doesn't work and my hotbar still doesn't work

I don't think its possinle to get hotbar to work

Pretty sure
"should_steal_mouse": true,

makes it so i can use my mouse

[tropic badger]

I made something where if collection index is greater than max buttons the button will not show, so i kinda just use the other buttons while having dynamic buttons

[uneven epoch]

Nvm it was one of the other ones

[chilly yacht]

also, question, do you know why alpha animations on the beacon item renderer affect ALL ui elements?

[quartz axle]

pls someone gell me

[tropic badger]

why rely on beacon item renderer

just make the element itself, its like 2 lines

[chilly yacht]

wym?

like just the custom render?

im not sure what the renderer is

[tropic badger]

inventory_item_renderer

[chilly yacht]

then i just bind the aux id correct

[tropic badger]

yeah

[chilly yacht]

alr, ill try it out and see if it changes something

i had to use a different animation

[tropic badger]

Thats actually cooler, it just overrides on top of each other

[chilly yacht]

ehh

i mean its not bad

i had it before without the item renderer

and it worked normally

[chilly yacht]

nvm, the alpha still does the thing

ill just stick to offset

[tropic badger]

Bug? I don't know

[chilly yacht]

seems like it
