[halcyon pawn]

I'm using scoreboards as counters for a project, but when trying to decrease them using commands from the entity sometimes doesn't works, any idea of why?

[oblique lichen]

@halcyon pawn Are you executing the command through the entity file or a function?

Cause if it is from the entity BP file, you need to make sure the command is run like this: scoreboard players remove @s #number with the target as self.

[halcyon pawn]

I do it like that, it works but sometimes it doesn't

[oblique lichen]

Wait.

[oblique lichen]

Okay, there. Can you provide an example?

Sorry for these extra messages. I just figured out how to reply to a specific message.

[full obsidian]

why my player model is not showing?

[halcyon pawn]

I use the scoreboard as a counter, I use a loop animation to call an event, and the event decreases the scoreboard with a run_commsnd and scoreboard players remove @s It works most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't decreases the scoreboard until I reload the world

[oblique lichen]

Two things: The command might be the problem. Make sure it is written like scoreboard players remove @s (objective) (number).
The other prob might be with how the event is run. Is the event run once the condition is right? Or is it supposed to run continuously without stopping?

Hello!
Can I force my entity with a sittable condition to sit or stand up without direct interaction? I mean, do it from a distance

Here's the correct version. You had the "population_control" in the wrong place.
Hope, it will help

[silent wadi]

Just sharing: I sometimes see questions about how to have an entity pop open a dialogue when you go up to it (without having to interact). I ran across this as I was developing a bot NPC, using vanilla robot and kiosk looking NPCs.json "minecraft:scheduler": { "min_delay_secs": 0, "max_delay_secs": 0, "scheduled_events": [ { "filters": { "test": "distance_to_nearest_player", "operator": "<=", "value": 2 }, "event": "ev:bot_dialogue_open" } ] }, "minecraft:timer": { "looping":false,"time":1, "time_down_event":{"event":"ev:bot_dialogue_open"} }The scheduler worked well for the pop up on approach. I used the timer for when the entity was placed, because I could not summon and call the dialogue in the same tick from the Item-on_use event.

[native jetty]

just came back to Minecraft after a bit, wonder if my 2 biggest issues have been fixed

when a mob has a charged ranged attack, if they target the player and then lose it, the charge time decays while target is not in sight but goes even below the default time.
meaning that if they target the player again they'll just stare at it for a long time before shooting again

and the other one is being able to control a rideable entity the same way as boats, turning with the A and D keys instead of the mouse

[valid shard]

Does the bossbar update with component groups?

[gloomy crag]

How can run command on entity hit?

[gleaming crypt]

I am despawning entities using the entity event minecraft:despawn on entities from a certain family. i am calling this event with a function. The only issue that I have is despawning them at a certain range. After a couple of chunks they do not despawn. Is tickingarea the only way to fix this?

[spring orbit]

i think you could use "minecraft:tick_world": {}

[fiery locust]

Is there a way to make an entity be able to be stood on? Like boats?

[dawn coyote]

hi there, is it possible to set a mob to spawn only on a certain dimension? like overword / nether / end? instead defining biomes?

[glass jetty]

Only with runtime identifiers, which I don't recommend using

[floral hornet]

Oof.

You ever get scared of an entity component that you've never used before because the documentation is all over the place?

That's what I'm going through when it comes to the minecraft:genetics component. Yes, this is a way of asking for help, but you don't have to immediately.

[midnight egret]

or is stackable but then the code for the player needs to be changged

[elder comet]

Is it possible to disable the main hand item (cant create a post bc i already made one recently)

[fiery locust]

What would need to be changed? I'd have no idea how to do either of those, so idk which one is the best option-- but I also have friends that use the character creator thing for their skins, so idk if editing the player code would disable that like a few mods to

[floral hornet]

I'm guessing we cannot test component groups in entity events?

[tardy stratus]

Can someone help me? I want to create an entity that collects all items around it and can access its inventory...

[tardy stratus]

I made this mob

But I want it to have more inventory slots, 41 to be specific

I want to make a system that when the player dies, this mob appears that will keep all the player's items in their inventory

[barren heart]

Best PC App for entity geo modeling?

[kind charm]

Blockbench

[barren heart]

Thank you

[tardy stratus]

How do I increase the amount of slots in a mob's inventory?

[supple kite]

Not sure where to ask so general it is. I want to display an npc dialog that would track progress. Say kill players 5 times, I have the scoreboards setup I just want to know how can I display the scoreboard value instead of "x" in this case

[midnight egret]

This post will always be readily available for general discussion. Ask questions in their own posts, please.

[nocturne cargo]

How can I make a projectile be deflected from an entity if shot at an angle? Say the arrow hit the entity at 15 degrees, I would want it to be deflected.

[stone sapphire]

Can someone help my addon mob is not appearing in game i checked the entity files in resources pack all is fine but it is still not appearing

i used the same texture and model on all the 3 mobs in my addon

is it for that

[nocturne cargo]

Check the logs

It's not because you're using the same texture and model for three different mobs

[nocturne cargo]

Also if there is a shadow appearing underneath your mobs that means there is something wrong with your textures

Also double-check you've enabled the resource pack

[digital creek]

So uh, my entity that throws a pearl doesn't teleport to the Pearl, but it works just fine the older version,
Is there any reason to that?

[ivory trench]

Eh did they change anything with entities recently? My entity is completely invisible….

[drowsy swift]

wassup

dose anyone can make 1 "animation_controller" BP for my new entity?

[kind charm]

We dont really do that here. Instead you have to make your own then ask for help if there are errors

[drowsy swift]

i know whats i have to do but, i dont know 2 things
when entity flying and get target, the attack looks like vex ( the entity comes to the target and attack him )
and dash when the entity get target will dash ( hard to get it with arrows )

[kind charm]

Arrows?

[drowsy swift]

i mean if the target skeleton or ur using bow to kill the entity when it fly around.

[kind charm]

Well try the first thing, make your entity go to the target and attack it first, then you can add the dash logic. Why dont you try to see the vexs code?

[drowsy swift]

I'll see it later

im so busy now

3 hours of playing ( Pixel gun 3d ) to get 250 keys

[nocturne cargo]

Use the definition_event

[ivory trench]

Why can I not control my custom entity when experimental toggles are off? It works if they're on but not if they're off...

[potent tiger]

Bro

How i can set the size of my mob

Using the 1.16.0 code version

[lilac veldt]

Scale not working v

?

[potent tiger]

Oh

Hummm

And...

I created the mob

but when i hit him he flies away

And he not walk

[gleaming pewter]

In my custom entity, I want that entity to destroy or mine a specific block. How do I do that?

[gleaming arrow]

Is there a way to not show name tags but still have the entity take a name?

[gloomy hemlock]

entity.nameTag = string

[gleaming arrow]

Would that not show the tag above the entity?

[gloomy crag]

it's possible remove the black background of the gamertags?

[silent wadi]

any way to summon an entity to the exact middle of a block?

[wanton venture]

Specific position is equal to the middle, for example, /summon zombie 0 5 0 will summon a zombie in the exact middle of the block in 0 0

Is also good to remember that decimals apply in this command coordinates, so if you don’t want middle, 0.6 for example

[wanton venture]

I have the feeling that it is hardcoded

[silent wadi]

I do not have numbers... the block is summoning it inside itself ...and having a hard time getting it smack middle. And plus it seems to drop in from above... very annoying, does not just appear in the block.

playing with the ~ in the middle and the collision size of the entity just produces weird results

[wanton venture]

How are you summoning the entity?

[silent wadi]

This is where I left off last night before I gave up and played Roblox with the teenjson "ev:summon_inner_tnt": { "run_command": { "command": [ "execute unless entity @e[r=0.5, family=dw623_tnt] run summon dw623:test_entity ~ ~0.125 ~ 90 90 ev:via_block_placement_test_block" ] } },

[wanton venture]

Can you try with an armor stand and see where does the armor stand spawn?

[strong tide]

[delicate scarab]

Running Command on Death

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/animation-controllers/death-commands.html

[gloomy hemlock]

lol, I thought it was in "scripting api", for that you just have to remove the "minecraft:nameable" component

[gleaming arrow]

I’ll try dat

[silent wadi]

figured it out. have to not have any collision within the physics component

[elder moss]

What are animation controls?

[loud sable]

I am looking for a stable kill detection system, so I can track kills and deaths with scoreboards and then use scripting api with that. If you can help, that would be very appreciated!

[crystal night]

How to make the entity always visible from any distance? Like the ender dragon

[silent wadi]

T.I.L. today.... runtime identifier microsoft:minecart while using a scale of 0.0625 on a block size entity makes it invisible... I was looking for a way to get rid of the shadow on the little motion sensor part of my motion puck light... armor stand works to do that for the little guy... but I thought it was interesting to be able to make it invisible. So if you ever need something small, there but not there... try it out... may be just what you needed.

[wanton venture]

Is there a way I can set an entity to fire without interacting with fire?

[spring orbit]

scripting i think has this

[merry sapphire]

summon fireball? like what those blaze throws

[wanton venture]

Fireball might be the best option yeah… could copy the code but make it invisible. Sound is hardcoded by any chance?

[thin glade]

why isnt this working

I want it to target and follow from like 80 blocks away?

is that not possible or smth

or am i just dumb lol

[valid shard]

Doesn't it despawn?

[thin glade]

nah

[valid shard]

Really? Cause that's like 5 chunks

Does it follow you from 10 blocks away?

[thin glade]

idk tbh im crap at entity stuff

but yeah i think it does

i just want it to target from like a minimum of 40 blocks or so

[valid shard]

Hmm I think it despawns then

Cause 80 blocks is really far

You can only have one at any given time. Use component groups to add/remove the navigation AIs

[misty marten]

anyone know what this error mean? i Know is related to the head but idk what exactly

Is there a way in block bench to make a key frame with all the bones in the same place they're already in to start with so I don't have to manually move and move back each one?

[wooden radish]

how can I have a custom entity open a NPC UI when interacted with

example^

[dawn coyote]

hi there, I m trying to create a custom Ghast, the only difference on that ghast is that I will remove the fireball. so I created the entity with the identifier awp:custom_ghast and just removed the fireball component, as I wanted it to be exactly the same as the regular Ghast I have just copied the RP entity from vanilla Ghast and changed the name of the file and identifier to awp:custom_ghast. That should be enough to render the custom entity? because it is not rendering the textures on it, I can see the shadow of the entity but no textures. what am I missing here?

[silent wadi]

give it the NPC component and have it call the dialogue in the on_interact event

[silent wadi]

Try using Blockbench's Entity wizard to create the file, then you can see everything it did/did not do...

[wooden radish]

is there a example somewhere on the wiki?

[silent wadi]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/createnpcs

[wooden radish]

thank you

[dawn coyote]

I did, figure out that something is happening with the render controller, as ghast have two textures files, once I change it to array it stops rendering, if I let a single file out of the array, it render normal... json { "format_version": "1.8.0", "render_controllers": { "controller.render.custom_ghast": { "geometry": "Geometry.default", "materials": [ { "*": "Material.default" } ], "arrays": { "textures": { "Array.skins": [ "Texture.default", "Texture.shooting" ] } } } } }

[silent wadi]

Make sure the RP entity file matches up to this for the textures

[dawn coyote]

nvm... found here from another member that the variable.ischarging from ghast is hardcoded, so I can solve it by adding "runtime_identifier": "minecraft:ghast" to my entity on BP

it works now

[deep holly]

What's the compement about always showing the entity's name even if you don't tag it?

[stiff wave]

made a post. but asking here anyways. my entity is not moving at its set speed when in water. somehow it has infinate speed in water? i have all my values set to 1 and multiplyers set to 1. any ideas? it was working until i scaled my entity down and now its broken? https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1118665717026394135

Is it possible to call an event from permutations? I want to decrement my fuel level property but I cant seem to use set_property in "permutations": {}

[dawn coyote]

hi there, is it possible to use the minecraft:interact to test if a player opened a oven?

[deep kettle]

What is persistent meaning?

[gloomy hemlock]

maybe when the entity is attacking

[deep kettle]

Then why Armor stand has this component?

[gloomy hemlock]

lol idk

[deep kettle]

Tbh, some Documentation is very confusing, this one for example literally repeat the thing it tries to explain

Persistent defines whether the entity is persistent

Bruh

[merry sapphire]

it means it doesnt go away, its persistent

[deep kettle]

Despawn?

[merry sapphire]

maybe its anti-despawn

yes

[deep kettle]

Anti-despawn?

Hmm

Okay

Thats make sense

Not sure this question belong here or Item section but is there a way to make item animation?

Like the new Brush thing in 1.20 but for other item?

I need the animation to be triggered with Command or Event (Not player interaction)

I tried to animate the Locator but it affects the 3rd camera view not the first cam view

[tough condor]

Hey there, I am currently looking for a way to hide the players nickname. It should be hidden after a certain action like a function, event or scriptevent. Is this possible and if so, would anyone be kind enough to provide help?

[deep kettle]

Yes

Modify the Player.behavior.json

make 2 components 1 hiding the name 1 will show the name

Use the nameable component to achieve that

Then in-game use event to trigger each component

Or you can use the environment detector to trigger that automatically

Its so dumb that the new Global variable system hasn't been rolled out yet. That would be so easier to do trigger Behavior-related component instead of rely on Event and ED

[tough condor]

Thanks for your help, I will try that!

[deep kettle]

You can use the has_tag to auto trigger the component group switch. So instead of running event command, you can simply tag the player

[tough condor]

Okay, I used it { "mcxyz:hidden": { "minecraft:nameable": { "always_show": false, "allow_name_tag_renaming": false } } }

Would it also be possible to make the nametag not visible when the player looks at the player.

As for right now the nametag is invisbile as long as I am not looking at the other players skin.

[deep kettle]

You want to completely hide the nametag?

[tough condor]

Yep

[deep kettle]

I used to make it. It requires material file which no longer work AFAIK

[tough condor]

Okay, no problem. Thanks for the help

[deep kettle]

Hmm

I remember a guy who used to be very active in this Server

He's the master of material-related problems

His Discord is like The Doctor?

You can ask him for your problem.

Offhand Isn't it Equipment?

that's what then

[thorn goblet]

use query.is_item_name_any in the test instead of using domain for offhand

[junior linden]

is how do you use this is entity?

I understood

[junior linden]

[thorn goblet]

query.is_item_name_any('slot.weapon.offhand' - slot to check, 0 - slot idx, 'hiro:scarab_necklace_hr' - item name)

[junior linden]

????

I didn't understand

Ohhh

[wide hawk]

Im learning how to make custom entities and I am trying to make an arrow with homing, but if I set homing to true in the projectile component, then wont I always be the closest entity when it is created therefore it homes onto me? I see there is the filter thing but idk how to use it, is there a way I can make the homing ignore the person who shoots the arrow?

[thorn goblet]

It probably will ignore you as your its owner

[obtuse wave]

does anyone know what the max size you can make a custom entities inventory be?

[queen wharf]

256 is a safe size

but you'll only be able to see 27 slots in the ui

unles you modify the ui

[versed thunder]

do minecraft:custom_hit_test works while having a minecraft:collision_box on your mob?

[thorn goblet]

Try it out and see?

[night tiger]

does anyone have example syntax to run an event on the target when a projectile hits it?

using "definition_event" for example

[obtuse wave]

I dont need to see the slots so thats fine, thanks!

[glacial summit]

I thought Entity components would not be removed when new ones were added, but I'm having them completely removed when a new villager is born and when they grow up.

Yeah no. The game is just deleting my interact component.

[night tiger]

do you have a question running?

if not upload your file here

ping me too

[deep holly]

How can i make the entity not able to despawn

[night tiger]

"minecraft:persistent":{
}

[glacial summit]

nevermind I've figured it out after hours. The default villager with no specialization can either have a variant of 0 or "undefined"

[kind charm]

Yes. Though its just player not player?

[forest kraken]

Hey all, I remember seeing something where you could like "execute a component group like a commend for example "/@s <component_group>"

Is that how you do it? I plan on having it in an animation controller

[silent wadi]

You call an event that adds the component group. And even then, the example you showed is from how an animation controller calls an event. For a command it is event entity @e[selectors] [eventName]

[forest kraken]

Thank you a lot

[fair swift]

Does anything happen if you give the player.json behavior components?

[thorn goblet]

try it out and see?

[dawn coyote]

hi there, so I have this very simple custom entitie and I wanted this entitie to always show it`s name, so I set it as true, but it is not showing the name.
I also have the text files with the line entity.awp:oracle.name=The Oracle
what am I missing to make the name showing?

[past shard]

How can I give collision to a graphical part of the entity?

[sudden musk]

Collision box component

[past shard]

OK, but what if the graphics part is too long for the basic entity?

[full obsidian]

how do i make a transparent material?

[ruby cape]

Make? Just use the skeleton material

Or if you want it to look like the slime, look at the slime material

[full obsidian]

No

I want the entity with the material be visible through walls

[ruby cape]

Oh like glass?

[full obsidian]

No

Like if I had esp

[rancid ivy]

Like X-ray?

[scarlet frost]

anyone

[thorn goblet]

anyone what?

[scarlet frost]

Nothing

[solar jungle]

does anyone know how to do a trample attack?

like spider that is on top of you

[thorn goblet]

use an animation controller. after the entity does the trample animation, check if there are entities within a certain range and if so apply the damage or effects.

[solar jungle]

The player has to stay in middle of the entity hitbox

[thorn goblet]

You could still test a certain range. Or you could use the updated execute command to check for an entity then run commands on them

[fervent whale]

so i had an animation settled up and i wanna run this animation based on a molang query, but when the entity is not moving (is idling), why is this animation still playing ??

"walk": "q.modified_move_speed && q.is_on_ground"

[sudden musk]

try (q.modified_move_speed < 0.1) && q.is_on_ground

[fervent whale]

the thing is, when i set that to "walk": "q.modified_move_speed" the animation stops when the entity doesnt move, which is what i expected. putting in q.is_on_ground after q.modified_move_speed and having the entity not moving and being on ground and found it still playing animation seems really weird

[fervent whale]

anyway, this doesnt work as well 🙂

nvm, i found the solution

how do i make entity follow the Y direction of the riders, so it will go up and down based on it

[dawn coyote]

hi there, I m trying to use on_interact in the player, not sure if it is possible but I want to detect if player is interacting with some specifics blocks like furnace, etc... is it possible?json "minecraft:interact": { "interactions": [ { "on_interact": { "filters": { "any_of": [ { "test": "is_block", "subject": "block", "operator": "equals", "value": "minecraft:furnace" }, { "test": "is_block", "subject": "block", "operator": "equals", "value": "minecraft:lit_furnace" }, { "test": "is_block", "subject": "block", "operator": "equals", "value": "minecraft:blast_furnace" }, { "test": "is_block", "subject": "block", "operator": "equals", "value": "minecraft:lit_blast_furnace" }, { "test": "is_block", "subject": "block", "operator": "equals", "value": "minecraft:smoker" }, { "test": "is_block", "subject": "block", "operator": "equals", "value": "minecraft:lit_smoker" } ] }, "event": "awp:test_event" } } ] },

[fervent whale]

Does giving priority 0 mean the components are always affecting the entities, with no sort of time randomness?

[stiff wave]

priority of 0 means it removes the randomness an just does whatever is set to 0 as its the hightest priority

the larger the number the lower the priority. its kinda backwards

[spring root]

aw, looks like 1.20 broke something about custom entities using the boat runtime_identifier, the client side respects the collision but the server side has the player falling through and getting endless fall damage or attacked by anything under it, rip this feature

any other ways to implement an entity you can walk on?

[night tiger]

on the damage type list, what is piston type damage?

getting suffocated by one?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/filters/has_damage

I can't figure out how to damage myself with one

you can't suffocate yourself with it

without a bock which makes it normal suffocation

[full obsidian]

is it possible to make a entity with a big model be visible all time? like if you're not seeing the entity, the entity stills there showing

[night tiger]

what do you mean?

[full obsidian]

bruh

[full obsidian]

an entity that is visible all time like if you're too far away you can still see the entity, i want something like that

[night tiger]

that isn't part of an entity file, that's part of your simulation distance

[full obsidian]

sure? then how does the ender dragon do what do i say?

and i'm not gonna use the ender dragon identifier, it will destroy everything

[night tiger]

well if there isn't a component in the ender dragon file that does long distance rendering and you won't use the runtime identifier then you probably can't do anything about it

the runtime identifier page says it's responsible for the increased distance anyway

it's either runtime ID or nothing

unless you find a component in the component list that does the same thing

[full obsidian]

bruh

[silent wadi]

Ender dragon has extra stuff that is hard coded... They may not want people messing with how it works too much

[fading elm]

it is possible to make an entity with 3 attack animations
only each attack with a different damage?

[silent wadi]

I do not see why not. With how component groups and events work, sky is the limit

[fading elm]

why will this not change geometries????

[fading elm]

I cant even get it to change geometries

[silent wadi]

Do not use UPPER case for any identifiers or filenames.... it is usually the problem... not upper case friendly

[fading elm]

oh? thank you

[silent wadi]

I am not familiar with how entity geometries can switch out, but I do not see anything that does that

[fading elm]

I corrected everything, and nothing changed

[fading elm]

thank you though

[silent wadi]

you made your own var for switching out the textures? How are you changing the values? May want to study how it is switched out for the different animals that have colors. It is often the variant or mark_variant and it is updated in the behavior file.

[fading elm]

im initalizing a math.random value, then calling it is good enough

[silent wadi]

I see the texture initiation.. but 0 -999 and you only have 2 textures?

[fading elm]

I had more and just decided they were not fit to use, im going to make more of them after this is fixed though

[fading elm]

but for that to happen I need to use variable
to create attack variables?
or variant component?
what should i use to identify
the 3 attack animations
and perform all three?
about the component group I know how to change the component group to perform each attack with different damage🖤

[silent wadi]

well... if it chose 623... then....

[fading elm]

Good point, I can work out the issues with that later. my main problem is this geometry

and I can work out the randomizer for the geometry (xgeor) later

[silent wadi]

I do not know the client side stuff... I can do the behavior side. So it depends on how animations are assigned. What the trigger is? If this is all resource side, then someone else more knowledgable will have to help. I would need to see examples to learn it myself.

[fading elm]

I see, well thank you for your help. im just remaking models & textures for vanilla entities, so it is just a resource pack

[silent wadi]

The 1st place I start with learning something new, is to find mobs that kinda do what I want and look into all their files to see how they work. I've learned a lot that way.

[fading elm]

I see, thank you

[fading elm]

well the trigger i use to activate my attack animation is the
variable.attack_time
in the resourser pack's animation controller.
The other attacks I'm referring to are the entity's basic attacks.
it's not ranged attack or roar attack or sonic boom

[silent wadi]

See I thought something like that would be in the behavior file because of what I see with the Blazejson "component_groups": { "mode_switcher": { "minecraft:target_nearby_sensor": { "inside_range": 2.0, "outside_range": 3.0, "must_see": true, "on_inside_range": { "event": "switch_to_melee", "target": "self" }, "on_outside_range": { "event": "switch_to_ranged", "target": "self" } } }, "ranged_mode": { "minecraft:shooter": { "def": "minecraft:small_fireball" }, "minecraft:behavior.ranged_attack": { "priority": 3, "burst_shots": 3, "burst_interval": 0.3, "charge_charged_trigger": 0.0, "charge_shoot_trigger": 4.0, "attack_interval_min": 3.0, "attack_interval_max": 5.0, "attack_radius": 16.0 } }, "melee_mode": { "minecraft:attack": { "damage": 6 }, "minecraft:behavior.melee_attack": { "priority": 3 } } }, But they do not show the animation controllers (unless I lost them) for the vanilla mobs. So maybe built in, like block stuff.

anim controller for blaze 👍

the one i found atleast

[silent wadi]

I mean the behavior side

[fading elm]

ohh

I did not see that then

[silent wadi]

I almost think those are built in components

The Blaze changes it's attack style

Trick is, how they do it... if there is a particular variable they use to indicate it, or is the usage of the component setting a variable...

[fading elm]

but blaze doesn't have two attacks
melee
has a melee attack
And ranged

[silent wadi]

What would be the trigger for the change in your attacks?

[fading elm]

actually i haven't done that yet
because I wanted to know if this is possible
make 3 melee attack
and each of these melee attacks
do a different animation
each with different damage
i know that for that i have to create 3 component group with melee attack and attack
only i don't know how to make each melle attack identify the specific animation to perform

[silent wadi]

At worst case you can always make 3 entities have each transform into another, summoning it with an event in attack mode?

[fading elm]

I'm thinking that I really need to use the attack_time variable
because in this way of transformation
the file would be too heavy

[fading elm]

thank you very much for your service
sorry to bother🖤🥰

[silent wadi]

As fas as I know, like for a player, attack_time >0 when doing anything with the hand, even opening a door, then back to zero

But maybe it is longer for a monster.. but the details of when to change attacks is important.. but yeah, the how. If there is no change via variable, then transform may be the only option.. it may be seamless. Interesting problem to dive deep into...

[silent wadi]

Do you have VS Code? if you do, open up the vanilla pack animation controllers folder, ALONE in a workspace... then ctrl-shift-F search for attack... found some interesting stuff.. check out the drowned and hoglin.. looks like it just calls the animations.... and a matther of your queries... and if you have more criteria based on player and environment, can toss in q.variant that you update in the BP

piglin looks the most complex and promising with lots going on and lots to figure out.. and definite diff attacks

[frigid ice]

Hi, so. . .

Projectiles that are moving at high velocities seem to hit surfaces earlier than intended. How do I circumvent this?

[frigid ice]

but it always seems to hit entities/blocks too early

[night tiger]

I think this has to do with rendering. You can reduce the velocity

I made an entity that blocks projectiles by spawning a 1hp dummy when one is close

it works even with a 2 block entity sensor

so the game does register projectiles being that close

it just doesn't render them I think

[frigid ice]

I can't reduce the projectile speed. I'm emulating an instant effect "targeted area" spell.

Unless there's another way to do it, I think I'm stuck, I suppose

[night tiger]

what do you mean?

i don't think I can help but i'm curious what you're making

[frigid ice]

Ok so, I'm making magic spells that create an area effect on a target area. So I make an invisible projectile that travels super fast. Once this projectile hits the area it summons an effect cloud.

[night tiger]

so a faster lingering potion?

[frigid ice]

I think I made a showcase somewhere in #1046947779118895114

[frigid ice]

More on the side of instant, but yeah

[night tiger]

nice

[frigid ice]

Show you what I mean. The second sunstrike seems to "hover" over the ground.

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1046947779118895114/threads/1120663207296630935

Oops I don't think it linked properly

[night tiger]

i found it

are you sure it isn't a gravity thing?

splash potions do the same thing

[frigid ice]

Nope

[night tiger]

the lingering effect sets ground level as whatever the level it hits is

one sec for video

[frigid ice]

I honestly dk anymore, this problem's been bugging me for a long time

Especially with my setup, unless there's some other way?

To create an instant effect on a target area?

Only time will tell, hehe

[night tiger]

it looks like that is happening to your effect

the potion lands and the lingering effect stays at the level the potion hit

if i understand right you want it to drop down to the ground?

sorry for screen dimmer

[frigid ice]

Actually, I think you misunderstood. My problem is that the projectile, at high velocities, hits the target entity/area too soon: summoning the effect too early.

[frigid ice]

I'm not being an ingratiate though! I'm thankful you responded, hehe

[night tiger]

you're fine. Idk how to help that

[frigid ice]

I can actually make it drop down to the ground with a simple spreadplayer command animation-controller

[frigid ice]

But grace to you. I now have some insight

[night tiger]

Does anyone know of events that are shared between different entities?

[frigid ice]

I don't know, sry

[night tiger]

I was hoping to use a send_event to calm entities since many of them have the angry component, but each entity uses its own separate calm event. Are there any other events that actually are shared between multiple entity types?

[night tiger]

nice!

[frigid ice]

More context of my problem:

First sunstrike is not a direct hit. Second one is a direct hit. Caused by the super fast invisible projectile.

Maybe I should report this as a mojang bug xd

[night tiger]

can you recreate it without the fences?

if you based it on the lingering potion code those shoot from your feet

compared to arrows and other projectiles that shoot from your head

it could be hitting the fence hitbox

[frigid ice]

Sure

Hold on...

So palpable

[fervent whale]

what's the difference between minecraft:float_wander and any fly-suffixed behavior, such as minecraft:can_fly, minecraft:behavior.random_fly, minecraft:navigation_fly??

[fading elm]

anyone know if its possible to choose a texture based off geometry?
im trying to check and see if my entity has a certain geometry, and if it does, choose a texture

[silent wadi]

Can your entity get a geometry without you knowing about it.... sneaky buggers...

[fading elm]

?

[silent wadi]

Point is... if you assigned the geo, then.....perhaps you can set a variable (variant, mark_varient, skin_id) to an array code

[fading elm]

ah I see

[fading elm]

though it has to be from resource pack 👍

[forest kraken]

Does the "on_spawn" event or whatever it's called work on player?

*entity_spawned

[glacial summit]

anyone had any issues with permutations not being applied properly even though the property has changed?

[deep kettle]

RC?

[silent wadi]

Have you verified the change did not happen in the same tick as expected permuation change?

[glacial summit]

there's no way it should be happening in the same tick

{
        "condition": "query.property('runecraft:constitution_level') == 4",
        "components": {
          "minecraft:health": {
            "value": 21,
            "max": 21
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "condition": "query.property('runecraft:constitution_level') == 9",
        "components": {
          "minecraft:health": {
            "value": 22,
            "max": 22
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "condition": "query.property('runecraft:constitution_level') == 14",
        "components": {
          "minecraft:health": {
            "value": 23,
            "max": 23
          }
        }
      },```

"runecraft:constitution_level_up": {
        "set_property": {
          "runecraft:constitution_level": "query.property('runecraft:constitution_level') + 1"
        }
      },```

IT's really difficult to test for errors with entity properties though

Since there's no easy way to display them

I might just completely drop this setup, set the max health to what I want it to, then set a "max" health that changes

[silent wadi]

why do those permutations look like block types... I have never seen that for an entity file

how is that not erroring...

dm me the whole file.. I feel like I am in bizzaro-world

like I missed something

[glacial summit]

Entities also have properties

I've had this issue happened before with the same thing

And my solution.. was to just delete it and remake an exact copy

[silent wadi]

Properties yes.. but not that first box is not entity stuff... the way it is... hold making what it should be like... is that a client side look maybe...

[glacial summit]

nope that's how it works

[silent wadi]

as many entity files as I have seen.. never seen it do like a block does.... is this an old format or something

[glacial summit]

nope

[silent wadi]

As far as I understand how entity behavior files work, it would be this way.... ```json
"component_groups": {
"cg:health_21":{"minecraft:health": {"value": 21,"max": 21}}
"cg:health_22":{"minecraft:health": {"value": 21,"max": 22}}
"cg:health_23":{"minecraft:health": {"value": 21,"max": 23}}
},
"components":{
"minecraft:environment_sensor": {
"triggers": [
{
"filters": {"test":"int_property","domain":"runecraft:constitution_level", "value":4},
"event": "ev:health_set_21"
},
{
"filters": {"test":"int_property","domain":"runecraft:constitution_level", "value":9},
"event": "ev:health_set_22"
},
{
"filters": {"test":"int_property","domain":"runecraft:constitution_level", "value":14},
"event": "ev:health_set_23"
}
]
}
},
"events":{
"ev:health_set_21": {"add":{"component_groups":["cg:health_21"]}}
"ev:health_set_22": {"add":{"component_groups":["cg:health_22"]}}
"ev:health_set_23": {"add":{"component_groups":["cg:health_23"]}}
}

[night tiger]

Is there a way to preserve ownership through a spawn_entity component or /summon command so that the new entity has the same owner/tamer as the entity that spawned it?

or a way to define parent/child relationships through the spawn_entity command?

[silent wadi]

Wow, I have NEVER seen a permutation section in an entity file.... I am blown away... I don't think mojang uses that... lemme look

This information would come in handy for a few things

Nope, checked... did a search on the whole BP entity section... they do not use the word... this is the kinda thing that really gets me.. no documentation I've seen shows this... why... why why....

[glacial summit]

they use permutations

let me find one

The bee file does not use permutations but has a property at least

I don't remember if they had any other mobs using them

[glacial summit]

thankfully the bedrock wiki has everything you need to know https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-properties.html#top

although oh no!

It's outdated

[silent wadi]

I found it there along with this ALIAS thing that seems interesting... but I am thinking they may be phasing that out... reading this site and the obvious omission of it .... must mean something... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/entitybehaviorintroduction

The only thing permutations would be good for is for the molang that there is no filter for, else everything can be done the way they do things now... event/add component via component group.... try it to see if it works that way.... I assume you are using something like jsonte to create that file...

Wki says every tick and environment sensor is every tick

[wooden radish]

Hello I have made a custom entity in blockbench and once I went to export it my geo was not found. my entity loads in but I cant seem to get the geo or textures to load. I dont exactly know what files to post, but if someone could let me know what to send that would be great. I can even send the pack to if needed.

please ping^^

[fading elm]

Yeah

[forest kraken]

Does anyone know?

[forest kraken]

Could you make a post and then I can try to help you troubleshoot it

[wooden radish]

ISSUE RESOLVED

[silent wadi]

Do not know off the top of my head and the only way for me to find out is to make a sample one... which is what you can do.... yourself. But I am thinking not... if it does not work, can do an animation controller to catch the load in order to execute something. That can handle whether each time logging in or just first time (if you use a property to hold the bit value)

[forest kraken]

I asked cause that was when I started but now I've made my first iteration so I shall see if it works

[night tiger]

does anyone know of a player level filter?

I thought i saw one at once point but I can't find it in the docs

[wooden radish]

Hello, my entity is really small. I tried to enlarge it using the "scale" component but, it does not work. Anyone know how to fix this?

[forest kraken]

Could you make the model bigger?

[forest kraken]

And perhaps send a section of your code?

[fair swift]

I enchanted a pillager crossbow with multishot and quick charge but it didn't do anything

Mobs like foxes can use enchanted swords

Can ranged mobs not use enchantments?

[queen wharf]

black ops? damn

anyway that'll be your geo size

so you needa like make your model bigger then reimport

pretty sure

[wooden radish]

okay thank you

[distant sky]

is it possible to stop a sound effect that plays in an animation when I stop playing the animation?

[deep kettle]

Its easier just to trim the sound to macth with the animation

[dawn coyote]

hi there, not sure but I think is here where I can ask it. I created an item but when it is on the ground it become a entity, right? so what is the query I have to do to know when the item is on the ground to change the animation?

[ruby cape]

Anyone familiar with making Furniture with entities and barrier blocks? Plz ping I have questions

[kind charm]

Just state your question

[ruby cape]

Mob moves when barrier block is placed after spawning

[kind charm]

Could you elaborate

Are you saying how to make a mob move when a barrier is placed or are you saying your mob is moving after you place a barrier block and you want to stop that

[ruby cape]

I want to stop it from moving after a barrier block being placed

[kind charm]

What exactly are you trying to achieve

[ruby cape]

A solid mob

Basically furniture

[delicate scarab]

Solid Entities

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/solid-entities.html

[ruby cape]

That doesn't help but thank you

[distant sky]

I mean I want the sound to loop as long as the animation is playing (the sound is exactly as long the animation) and stop when the animation stops

[wheat surge]

Why did you add a "pushable" component then?

[deep kettle]

Put the sound effect in the anim then? If the anim stops it will stop the sound too

[ruby cape]

I found the issue, I put the component to false.

[frigid ice]

My custom entity is not showing the potions it's drinking. Is that visual effect hardcoded?

I've enabled "enable_attachables" in the resource file already.

[ruby cape]

Ive never tried that but that sounds interesting 🤔

[spring orbit]

anyone know how you can make a mob press a button?

[grim pine]

can someone plz help me in my post 🙏 🙏

[undone axle]

What exactly defines what gear a mob spawns with?

Eg. Why does a skeleton spawn with a bow?

[slow jewel]

Possible to lock and rotate an entity so it’s aligned with the block and coord on spawn?

[silent wadi]

Did you try looking in the behavior file and searching for key words, like equip or bow and seeing what components they are using and following that.... to see what you can find?

[undone axle]

I managed to find it

It’s a loot table

[silent wadi]

and a component calling that loot table

[spring orbit]

minecraft:equipment

i believe

[grim pine]

@spring orbit are u good with entites?

i really need help 😣

[spring orbit]

i mean

maybe

depends what you need

[grim pine]

check me post "am i doin this right"

i really needa get it fixed in the next hour

so i can reopen my realm

[slow jewel]

what type of bp event can i do to run commands if a player is standing on the entity

[subtle glade]

How do you make my entity attack using projectile??
Like blaze for example, who plays fireball

[frigid ice]

Minecraft:shooter component, or so I gather. . .

I have an entity that first weakens her enemies with a splash potion, then shifts to using heal/hurt arrows depending if her enemy is undead or not.

[lost jungle]

can you have an entity equip a saddle, and unequip the saddle?
(Stupid question: hoping to learn how to write it in the code)

I know there is an equippable component.
Which lets the player put the saddle on an entity.
I wonder though what the player can do to get the saddle off?

Context, I have creatures called hippocampus that swim, walk and eat kelp blocks.
They can be tamed with kelp and have two general uses.
1 - can be lead around on a lead, or temped with kelp/seagrass to be led around.
2 - can be given a saddle, which gives them the behavior to follow the player, act as a mount and give water breathing while ridden (working on that part).

The idea for the saddle is to trigger the rideable component and the follow.
But can be told to not follow with taking the saddle off.

I know sitting could also do the trick, but thought telling a horse-fish to sit and stay may be a bit silly.
(am playing around with components and code for balance. Also try to prevent the code for them to break as well)

[subtle glade]

How can I add this to my entity?
Like the things that have in this component

[lost jungle]

assuming a test for what family the target entity is?

[frigid ice]

I observed the witch's behaviour file to make it

[deep kettle]

Use component group

And interact component

[lost jungle]

ok 👍
Thanks

I'll have to rethink the groups and components for this lol.

[deep kettle]

each group can have different property then u can use q.property to render/hide the saddle in RPRC

[lost jungle]

ye.

this entity is like as follows:
wild, tame, adult, baby, saddled and unsaddled.

wild lets them kill fish, be afraid of players, and some mobs.
tamed takes that away and lets them eat kelp blocks, and kill zombies.
adult makes them breedable, and tameable
baby gives them a love for water and their parents (they are fast buggers too)
saddled is what lets them follow the player, and give water breathing.
While unsaddled removes it.

spawned, you get a wild adult (or a baby that will always grow into a wild adult)
tamed lets them hang around kelp blocks, cannot sit and would only follow a player if they have a snack.
Saddled lets them follow and help the player. Am not sure if I should have them sit (that was the original idea), but I like the idea that you have to take the saddle off to stop the follow mechanic (and the water breathing).
unsaddled wont be given to them by default. But it just takes away the components sadddled would have.

[modest galleon]

Should animation_controllers and animations be in RP, BP, or both? In Bedrock Samples they're only in RP, but in some addons I see them in BP as well. Which is correct/do I need? Please ping if you respond. Thanks

[lost jungle]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/animation-controllers/animation-controllers-intro.html

[deep kettle]

They can be in both

RPAnim RPAC BPAnim BPAC are 4 things

[modest galleon]

Wait so entities playing commands is stored in animation_controllers?

[deep kettle]

Kinda

Both BPAC and BPAnim can both run cmd from entity

Quite easy to understand lol

[deep kettle]

What mob are u making?

[lost jungle]

An addon that ads hippocampus.
Basically mer-mares/water ponies/aquatic equine

They spawn in most bodies of water. Currently, I have two variants, though plan to have 5.
one for the warm coral reefs, one for warm oceans, one for general bodies of water, one for the colder oceans and one for frozen oceans.

The addon currently is getting the basics set up for them. Some variants would have special features. Such as some may be faster in the water, others may be more aggressive (fun for raiding ocean monuments with), and one may carry a chest like a donkey but is as stubborn as a goat.

They swim, they walk and they are curious and mischievous creatures.

And all of this started because me and a few friends were messing with addons and found one that had hippocampi. But sadly, that addon was a bit of a mess and it got me to make a addon from scratch.

[deep kettle]

Isn't it Hippo super dangerous and deadly

Should we encourage people to ride it though 💀

[lost jungle]

Yes.
While working on them, some friends and I were entertaining a few ideas for them.

The lore for them in minecraft is some variants are nuetral, and can be tamed.
While later one, once I have these first five up and running, I can start adding some variants that are hostile.

You may have thought about kelpies, horses that would drown their victims.
I did think of possibly making one of those for swamps or mangrove swamps. Though I am not sure if I can code in a feature for them to 'grab' the player and start diving into the water. If I could, may be a fun idea (makes me regret not voting for the aquatic monster in the mob vote. Since there are limitations to water controls).

Another is a nether variant that likes to hide in lava. They may be the most devious as they could take cheeky pot shots at players with an attack similar to a blaze.

Note, a hippocampus may not be the same as a kelpie. But given the Greek/Roman mythology is close to Scottish mythology. There may be some cross over here.

[deep kettle]

Drowing the player is very easy

Make an entity that can be ride

Then simply run /inputpermission when the player riding them

Then make the entity go into the water

The player can move the camera around but cant get out of the ride mode

Basically, drown...

If u want something fancier, with scripting (I dont like scripting cause its still in exp mode) to apply knockback to the player, pushing them down into the water

[lost jungle]

That is the thing.
How can I tell the entity to go down in the water?
And for drowning, I imagine the kelpies would do what you described, but the player can dismount by hitting the kelpie enough times.
The kelpie goes into flee mode when on low health and swims away.
The player can either mount one to make it angry, or it gets angry on its own when a player is near it for too long and grabs the player instead.

I am not sure what they drop when you kill them though, other than kelp and maybe a mangrove propagule.

Hence I would try to get the base hippocampi started.

Because the biggest obstacle I have for them is how to get them to swim underwater with the player mounted.

Right now, they can be ridden on land. But the moment you are in the water they act strangely.
They tend to stick to a certain y value they entered the water at, and wont sink nor rise. They wont go up slabs in the water even.
And jumping at this stage gets you to dismount.

All that I can think is while mounted, they change their water movement to sink, and the player can jump to get them to swim up.

[wanton venture]

Hello there 👋
How can I change an entity’s variant according to a tag from /tag?

[silent wadi]

environment sensor with a tag filter test, calls event to update it

well the event has to add a component group that sets it

[wanton venture]

Got it, thank you!

[fair swift]

Does entity despawning reduce lag significantly?

I think it would be cool if hostile mobs didn't despawn and just stayed where they were until they were unloaded or killed

The mob cap would keep total entities down, so would making hostile mobs not despawn affect performance?

[frigid ice]

I think it would

If even a large amount of custom invisible, almost no component entities could lag my world then maybe that would too: perhaps even more.

[modest galleon]

Can I make minecraft:collision_box rectangular by adding a “length” value?

[silent wadi]

You can specify the size.

[modest galleon]

But the only the options are “width” and “height” I need a third one for a “depth” value

But depth or length isn’t allowed

So the collision_box is the same length on x and z axis but I want it to be longer on the x axis

[modest galleon]

Is it the same for entities?

[silent wadi]

oops... LOL

did not see what channel I was in... hmmm, maybe see how the NPCs are done

they are tall and rectangular

hmm, maybe the animals... since NPCs you can walk thru, I think.... well any one you can push

Weird, the entity collision box page is missing from learn.microsoft

I am thinking it will tie into the model tho. a good test would be to make a skinny entity , like a door shape to see how it handles the collision box.

[fair swift]

@frigid ice thanks!

[undone axle]

Do you add the “run command” thing directly to the events stuff.

I’m trying to make an entity directly run a command while it’s on fire

[severe lake]

how can i constantly run a command in the entity

[silent wadi]

have the environment sensor call an event that has it, it is every tick, or use the scheduler, it can be based on some conditions or use the timer, so you can space it out

[severe lake]

Do i need anything else for environment sensor?

[silent wadi]

you do not have to have a condition, but every tick is 20 times a second. timer might be better and set it to every second or more

or less 0.5 is 1/2 a second

[severe lake]

im using a timer for despawn rn iirc they can only have one timer right?

[nimble bramble]

I have an animation controller hooked up to an attachable, and it is meant to spawn particles while the player is holding the item. It alternates between two states where one spawns the particles and the other checks if the player is holding the item with q.is_item_name_any(). The particles always start when I hold the item, but when I select a different item, they only sometimes stop spawning.

Any idea as to why? I've resolved it.

[merry sapphire]

is it possible to make an entity press a button? like how arrows can

[full obsidian]

is it possible to make custom variants?

[wanton venture]

You can add your own variants using minecraft:variant

[full obsidian]

how

like test_variant?

minecraft:test_variant?

i want a custom variant component

[wanton venture]

No that is not possible, that isn't how it works

The component is an intenger

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_variant

[silent wadi]

There are a couple of extra ones like that you can use... mark_variant and skin_id.. Both accessable in an AC. if you need another, but not usable in the AC, color is available

[full obsidian]

and is it other way to detect a value with a component with a query.blahblah == 1???

[silent wadi]

?

[full obsidian]

if there's any way with a component in bh put a value in there, and then detect it with a query.(component) = value

[silent wadi]

Have you not looked at the entity component lists... variant, mark_variant and skin_id all have components and queries

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/molangreference/examples/molangconcepts/queryfunctions

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/componentlist

color and color2 have components, but no query function

[ruby cape]

how can i have a spawn egg only accessible through cmds. Like remove it from the creative menu but still accessible?

[spring orbit]

arrow runtime identifier i believe does it

[mortal oyster]

anyone know how to play animation when an entity spawns and after that animation despawn the entity?

[ruby cape]

Put a timer component_group in the entity_spawned property. In that timer group give it like a query that can be triggered(try to keep the time around the same as of the animation). Once the timer ends run another event that despawns the entity @mortal oyster

[deep holly]

My entity is moving when the tnt is explod or when water or lava how can i fix that ?

@ruby cape

[ruby cape]

@deep holly Look at the physics component and set the collision to false. See if that works

@ruby cape

[ruby cape]

@deep holly I would set gravity to true

In the physics component

Unless you want your entity to float

Oh I see the identifier

[deep holly]

Yep

Just an entity

No take a damage

Not moving

Just that's what i need

[ruby cape]

Is it like a checkpoint?

[deep holly]

Yeeep

Exactly

[ruby cape]

I think you can just do that by using a cmd block

Like a cmd doing set spawn point

[deep holly]

No i need a entity

Because i mad a waypoint addon just for that's

[ruby cape]

I would set the collision box at 0.001 for width and height

And add the custom hit box component

[deep holly]

But this has nothing to do with what I want

[ruby cape]

Set the collision_box to false in the physics component

And test it

[deep holly]

Jsut for gas gravity!?

Has*

[ruby cape]

Huh

[deep holly]

..

[ruby cape]

Also I think the format version has changed?

You may have the old version

[deep holly]

Sooo what is the last version

[ruby cape]

"Minecraft: physics":{"has_gravity": false, "has_collision": false}

I think 1.19.0

[deep holly]

What does mean has_collsion

I know the collision_box is the hight and width of the entity just

[ruby cape]

Basically saying if you can touch the entity

And if you need to interact with the entity just give it the custom hit box component

[mortal oyster]

Is there any way to make an entity with an owner or more than 1 owner so the entity doesn't attack it's owners but it attacks enemies.

?

“File Not Found: Blockbench could not find the requested file. Make sure it is saved locally and not in a cloud.” I’m getting this alert in blockbench. The thing is, everything is here? Like I’m not missing any files. Problem is it comes up not just when I open the file, but even just when I switch tabs back to it, which is really annoying. How do I resolve this? Thanks

[nova plume]

try factory reset

[modest galleon]

I won’t lose any of my work though right?

As long as it’s stored in the addon files?

[modest galleon]

Alright thanks that worked

[modest galleon]

[Geometry][error]-minecraft:cow | minecraft:cow | Locator: Error: model already has a locator lead that doesn’t exactly match the one wanting to be added - skipping new definition in default(geometry.cow)

I added a lead in Blockbench and this error started coming up. I searched through all the cow code with a find and replace tool for all “locators” but could only find the one I added. Where could the other one be hiding?

[modest galleon]

Wait are lead locators simply bugged?

[gleaming pewter]

Can I make custom falling block?

Using custom entity?

[fervent whale]

How do i spawn shooting projectiles like fireball, arrow, etc

My problem is i wanna shoot projectile everytime i interact with item, but without experimental mode, so i cant use script or item components

[proper ravine]

I wanted to make an event that sets a minecraft:variant value to 1 and 0, how can i make this entity event triggered with /event command?

[wanton venture]

make an event call the component group with the variant

I was writting a page about entity variants some months ago, you can find it useful though is incomplete

https://github.com/Kaioga5/bedrock-wiki/blob/wiki/entity_variants

[proper ravine]

This is what I've made and it doesn't work

                    "trigger": {
                        "event": "hk:reload",
                        "target": "self"
                    }
            },```
component_groups
```"hk:reload": {
                    "minecraft:variant": {
                        "value": 1
                    }
                },
                "hk:loaded": {
                    "minecraft:variant": {
                        "value": 0
                    }
                },```
this should disable the sneaking animation with the help of the animation controllers

[wanton venture]

I see nothing that adds the component group here

read the info in the link, it may help

[proper ravine]

that is actually what i need to know

how?

[wanton venture]

What you want to do is put your variant on a component group, and from an event call it

I showed sample code in that page..

"events": {
   "wiki:my_event": {
      "add": {
         "component_groups":[
           "wiki:variant_change"
                ]
           }
      }

[wanton venture]

even though it is incomplete this has everything you want to know

[proper ravine]

So like this?

            "add": {
         "component_groups":[
           "hk:reload"
                ]
           },
                    "trigger": {
                        "event": "hk:reload",
                        "target": "self"
                    }
            },```

[jade spindle]

Where can i find the player's eating/drinking animation in the resourcepack sample?

[jade spindle]

I can't seem to find it, i wanted to modify the animation

[fervent whale]

Why not to just attach q.is_using_item and q.is_item_name_any to your new animation

[jade spindle]

But i still wanted to get the original animation

Was it just wasn't provided in the rp sample?

[fervent whale]

Idk, i just dont find it out, i was just looking for it, and i ended up using molang query instead of just wasting more time looking for it

[whole turret]

it's possible ?

When the entity appears it automatically plays this animation?

[frigid ice]

shouldn't it be a controller animation?
This is in the behaviour pack

[whole turret]

Yes i know

[wary flax]

it should work

[torpid cove]

How do I make my entity unhookable with a fishing rod?

[fast marsh]

@torpid cove /execute positioned as @e[type=your_entity] run kill @e[type=fishing_hook,r=2]

have that run on a loop

[torpid cove]

Damn

No better way?

[fast marsh]

lemme see

don't think so

[fervent whale]

Can i stop player eating sound for certain food w/o experimental mode

[wanton venture]

Eh, probably using /stopsound command

[fervent whale]

Doesnt work quite well

That sound plays more than 1 time, using stopsound only stops 1 time

[wanton venture]

Run it on_consume in the item food file

[fervent whale]

Require experimental?

[wanton venture]

Yes

[fervent whale]

🙂

any solution w/o experimental?

[wanton venture]

Maybe an animation controller if there is a query for consuming items

?queries list

[delicate scarab]

Molang Queries

Full list of queries: https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Molang#List of Entity Queries

Better explanation for some queries: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/documentation/queries

[wanton venture]

If there is one, you’ll be able to detect the specific item with commands and run the stopsound command each time is eaten, unsure if there is a better way, I hope there is

[fervent whale]

Yes there is one, q.is_using_item

But even using that, doesnt work quite well either. Animation timeline doesnt always align with the time the sound started playing

[wanton venture]

Hm, I don’t have many other ideas really

[fervent whale]

Nvm, found it out already 😅

Turns out i need to set the use_duration to 99999

Sounds doesnt make sense, but somehow worked

[frigid ice]

?variables

[delicate scarab]

Molang Documentation

https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Molang

[wary flax]

Could just replace the sound file for eating with silence

[modest galleon]

Where in gods name are entity materials in bedrock samples

[scenic pendant]

How do I make the name of the npc appear if I approach it 5 blocks?

[fast marsh]

@modest galleon

[gloomy hemlock]

vanilla thing, u cant

not sure

[sharp reef]

entity_sensor component?

[gloomy hemlock]

thats for events

[deep kettle]

Use event to trigger name appears?

[ruby cape]

im trying to create a mob that floats on water but also moves. Something similar to the strider on lava. What are the navigation and movement components needed to achieve this? Im having a hard time getting it to move.

[deep kettle]

U mean a boat?

[ruby cape]

oh and yes

also do you know how i can make it solid for the player to stand on without using the stackable component?

[deep kettle]

Then runtime_identifier as minecraft:boat

[ruby cape]

and i figured this out already

[deep kettle]

Boat will do that

[ruby cape]

i have a dummy entity riding my real mob with the runtime identifier

[deep kettle]

Not possible AFAIK

[ruby cape]

do you know how to disable the bobbing on water?

[deep kettle]

If ur mob use runtime

Then no

Hmm

@ruby cape

[ruby cape]

no my mob does not have the runtime

the entity that is riding it has the runtime

[deep kettle]

"big_wave_probability": 0,
 "big_wave_speed": 0,```

Try to change these to false and 0

"minecraft:floating"

[deep kettle]

I have a hard time trying to understand this

[ruby cape]

is this a component?

[deep kettle]

Yes

Can u explain again?

[ruby cape]

my mob does not have the boat runtime identifier

[deep kettle]

DOnt use my mob

Use thing like Mob A, B

Cause it seems like u have 2 mobs

Its confusing lol

[ruby cape]

do you mean '
"minecraft:floats_in_liquid": {},'

[ruby cape]

oh right

Mob B is riding Mob A

[deep kettle]

"minecraft:buoyant": {
          "base_buoyancy": 1.0,
          "apply_gravity": true,
          "simulate_waves": false,
          "liquid_blocks": [
            "minecraft:water",
            "minecraft:flowing_water"
          ],
          "drag_down_on_buoyancy_removed": 0.7
        },

This is also a thing

Try to set all simulate_waves to false

[ruby cape]

@deep kettle

[wooden ocean]

oh no, my voice

I've been exposed

[deep kettle]

Delete minecraft:floats_in_liquid . Set base_buoyancy: 0; drag_down_on_buoyancy_removed: 0

apply_gravity: true

[wooden ocean]

we found the solution:
a bouyancy value of 1 causes it to want to push the entity above the water, causing it to bob, using a lower but non-zero value will keep it floating just below the surface

[sleek kettle]

is there a way to make a particle that can only be viewed by a specific player?

not sure what chat I’d ask that in lol

[solar jungle]

guys is there a method to reduce the damage tick for attacks

 "minecraft:hurt_on_condition": {
        "damage_conditions": [
          {
            "filters": {
              "test": "in_lava",
              "subject": "self",
              "operator": "==",
              "value": true
            },
            "cause": "lava",
            "damage_per_tick": 4
          },
          {
            "filters": {
              "test": "is_family",
              "subject": "damager",
              "value": "player"
            },
            "cause": "entity_attack",
            "damage_per_tick": 1
          }
        ]
      },

[deep kettle]

Good knowledge found! This could be very useful in the future

[flint light]

i wanna add custom player animations but i dont have a player model and its not in the sampels. where do i get one?

[frigid ice]

What is wrong?

{
"id": 39,
"chance": 0.95,
"filters": {
"all_of": [{
"test": "actor_health",
"subject": "self",
"operator": "<",
"value": "15"
}]
}
}

Filter member value of test actor_health must be an integer

What is filter member value?

[past shard]

I want to get the state of an entity via its animation loop to apply or not damage via the minecraft:entity_sensor

[deep kettle]

Its in mobs.json called humanoid

[deep kettle]

state? you mean properties?

[past shard]

Yes

[deep kettle]

Use molang then?

[waxen warren]

Anyone know how to make a right click villager npc

[wanton venture]

minecraft:npc component

[waxen warren]

@wanton venture

What will it look like if I put it in a code

[wanton venture]

"minecraft:npc": {}

[frigid ice]

Why doesn't definition_event work in projectiles anymore?

[deep kettle]

?

It still works?

[frigid ice]

My projectiles using it no longer works when I upgraded my pack to 1.19.70

Wait. . .

Hmmm

Nope, doesn't work

"definition_event": {
"affect_target": true,
"event_trigger": {
"event": "freeze"
}
},

It worked when the pack was still 1.16

[frigid ice]

Why can't an entity send an event (through behavior.send_event) to itself? 😂

It just keeps on doing the casting animation and nothing happens

I thought the run command thing is maybe what's wrong but idrk anymore 🥲

[deep kettle]

Send ur code?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_projectile

[frigid ice]

I've sent a snippet already, that's the only thing that makes the projectile not work

[deep kettle]

so

Assume that ur projectile will send an event to the target called freeze right?

[frigid ice]

Yes

[deep kettle]

Send the event part

[frigid ice]

A run_command

[deep kettle]

?

[frigid ice]

"events": {
"freeze": {
"run_command": {
"command": [
"effect @e slowness 4 4"
]
}
}
}
}
}

[deep kettle]

Have u tried the event of the target itself?

[frigid ice]

An event inside the entity?

Interesting

[deep kettle]

What is this event from though?

The projectile?

[frigid ice]

Yes

It once worked in 1.16.100

now idk

[deep kettle]

???

Im very confused rn

Why not use on_hit?

@frigid ice

Try this

[frigid ice]

definition_event is inside on_hit

hold up maybe I should have sent my code 😂

[deep kettle]

"definition_event": {
    "affect_projectile": true,
    "event_trigger": {
        "target": "self",
        "event": "freeze"
    }
},

[deep kettle]

@frigid ice Here

[frigid ice]

Hmmmm

Trying it rn, thanks

[frigid ice]

I now have directly copied the wither_skull_dangerous projectile code, still not working.

[severe lake]

how do i use schedule to make a loop?

[ruby cape]

anybody know if this is the right filter for properties?

"filters": {
  "test": "has_property",
  "domain": "sprout:skin_variant",
  "value": "1"
},```

[silent wadi]

You mean the one you created.... nojson "filters": { "test": "int_property", "domain": "sprout:skin_variant", "value": 1 }, if it is true/false, use bool_property and add operator if you need other than ==

[ruby cape]

thanks

[severe lake]

@silent wadi

[silent wadi]

it is similar to environment sensor.... what kind of loop.. different things you can do depending on timing

enviromental sensor is EVERY tick... scheduler you can space out.... else they look kinda the same

it is helpful for stuff that does not need EVERY tick... helps cut some overhead

There is also timer that can run every # seconds, but it runs one event.. but in that event you can use sequence and can mimick scheduler

Examples of scheduler are in the villager and fox bp files

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_scheduler

[severe lake]

I want to run a event every second but i could only get the scheduler to run once or once every tick

[silent wadi]

So your loop depends on your test being met

use timer if no condition on that

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_timer

[severe lake]

Im already using a timer for despawn is there other options?

[silent wadi]

show me the scheduler code.. it can run multiple times... condition has to be met and should be exact....

you can have a timer property, a int with a big range that is incremented every.... and have the despawn work off it it hitting a certain number, that way the enviroment sensor could handle it

[severe lake]

I got it to run multiple times but it runs at one tick

[silent wadi]

it is just about manipulation

[severe lake]

So a score for the despawn?

[silent wadi]

what was the delay?

you can build your own timer... the tick counter.... and have another property or several that you convert to seconds.. using set property....

just have to work out what happens each tick, cause in one component, the values are not updated until the next tick and that can be a problem

[severe lake]

Do i change both minimum and maximum?

I tried 1 and 20 for both values

[severe lake]

Yeah i was hoping there was a easier method though

[silent wadi]

do a test to see how fast it is running.... to see if it is relieable or not

the delay is supposed to be seconds

I suppose your entity has a timeline... if there is a timer for despawn, right?

[severe lake]

Yeah

[silent wadi]

also... animation controller is great for handing some stuff

[severe lake]

It instantly floods chat when i spawn it

[silent wadi]

I mean a more precise test.... have something updating the scoreboard counter for each tick, then have the scheduler copy the timer value when it starts to another fake, have another property that switches a number so the seconde time the scheduler runs, it copies the timer value to a diff fake, then despawn so you can see the difference in ticks

Sounds complicated, but it is not... I have to do stuff like that all the time when something is not working right...

So I can capture when stuff happens... you can even have an AC do a lot if it, since it can transition based on property values

in fact, you can have the ac do alot... cause you have the molang math in there

and it can run commands and run events

if you can move to a post, maybe work out some of the logic

[severe lake]

Alright ill try that tomorrow thanks

[rotund arch]

is there a way to make it so on entitys death it adds a scoreboard to a player

[silent wadi]

Yes, but it would require you to add code to all the monsters within their damage sensor to call an event on the player. I think I've shown this code before this discord if you do a search for the word. Kill_count then it may pop up

[fervent whale]

can anyone explain why this entity wont chase the target even though it has one

"minecraft:movement": {
    "value": 0.05

"minecraft:behavior.melee_attack": {
    "priority": 0,
    "speed_multiplier": 1.0

            "max_dist": 100
        }
    ],
    "must_see": false
}

but if I use behavior.charge_attack, it does follow and chase the target. But I wanna use melee_attack in order to make v.attack_time work out. Any suggestion??
