Entities General

[kind charm]

Could you show a video of the particles? in first person and third person

[timber wolf]

@kind charm

[kind charm]

Could it be bc the boots arent rendered in thus doesnt make the effect trail

[timber wolf]

ty still messing around with it 🙂
didnt seem like the boots rendering was it either....so weird...

Any idea about collisions / selection_box?

trying to add a selection_box to an entity. without it being a collider.
Can i have selection_box without collision_box?

[kind charm]

No you cannot unfortunately

[river matrix]

sorry, it's been a bit i got busy again. I tried the command and it works, it follows but it doesnt rotate towards the target at all

[lavish wing]

help

why is is_family not working

[wanton dune]

just tp @s ^^^0.5 facing @e[type=type=!xp_orb,type=!fs:magic_missile,type=!item,r=10,c=1]

[wanton dune]

Give the snipsset of the filter not just error

[lavish wing]

"filters": {
  "test": "is_family",
  "subject": "other",
  "operator": "=!",
  "value": "zombie"
}

[lavish wing]

It should be working

Unless i messed something up

[river matrix]

alright ill try it out!

[wanton dune]

"filters": {
  "test": "is_family",
  "subject": "other",
  "operator": "!=",
  "value": "zombie"
}

Idk what's the problem but try this

[lavish wing]

I have no idea what you did bro

I had it as this before and it didnt work

Now it does

[wanton dune]

Flip

The operator

[lavish wing]

No i know

I flipped it because the wiki suggested it

It wasnt working with either side

Than i copy and pasted yours and it works

[river matrix]

tried it out, and it works but not exactly either

let me try and show a video

[wanton dune]

Yeah idk what's other solution hahahaha. That's only thing I know that do homing

[river matrix]

my guess is that the entity rotation animation could be off

[wanton dune]

Do your entity have look_at_entity animations ( I forgor name )

[river matrix]

no it does not

[wanton dune]

Yeah that why hahahaha

[river matrix]

ahh okay how do i add it?

can i still use the same animation?

[wanton dune]

Wait imma send you the animation file

[river matrix]

{
  "format_version": "1.10.0",
  "minecraft:client_entity": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "fs:magic_missile",

this is what i have for my projectile

[wanton dune]

                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

[wanton dune]

What did you add on the animation LockOn?

Wait open a post hahaha, so you could talk more there.

[river matrix]

yeah that's what i did for my animation, but i put it to negative bc of how the model is

[river matrix]

okay will do

[wanton dune]

Just ping me

[thorny sleet]

im trying to add an effect to the player entity using a tag, but its not working at all... i dont know how am i failing:

                }
            ],```

im simply lost. i dont know why this does not work...

[thorny sleet]

clearly there is an issue with minecraft that needs to be fixed

it only works on other players

and it works the first time they join.

if i remove the tag and make them solid they keep the status

[wanton dune]

bruh you need to add an event if entity does not have that tag it remove the properties 🙂

[visual orbit]

How do I make it so that when I interact with an entity it opens a UI that I created?

like the npc from minecraft

[wanton dune]

use "minecraft:interact" then the player who interacts will open a server_form or npc dialogue

[visual orbit]

ok, I'll try, thanks for the help 😄

[thorny sleet]

im a dumbass

[obtuse kestrel]

um hello, i made a model for my entity but when i imported it to the game it looked like this, does anyone know why?

it looks as intended in blockbench

[wanton dune]

Wdym?

[limpid ravine]

So it works?

[wanton dune]

You didn't explain what's the problem dude

[obtuse kestrel]

The picture is not in a good angle enough i guess, brb

the geometry is weird even tho it looks normal on blockbench

[wanton dune]

Bruh never had that problem before hahahaha

[limpid ravine]

Same

[wanton dune]

Try center the model idk just a hunch. Also open a post so we could there more.

[obtuse kestrel]

didnt work, thanks tho i will open a post about it now

[obtuse kestrel]

yeah its pretty amusing lol

[sour escarp]

how do i make an entity blast resistant?
like so it dosent take damage from explosions

[stark grove]

Is there a good way to turn of equipment for a player?

[stark grove]

Found a work around for me in scripting

[lost jungle]

Can one have an addon where a mob is summoned/created with building a structure, similar to how players can make iron golems, snow golem, or wither.

Is there a summon/event trigger for that that addons can use?

[kind charm]

ScriptAPI

[lost jungle]

ah damn, fair enough. Thanks ❤️

[halcyon pawn]

what does this means?

[torpid cove]

It needs to be lowercase

[thorny sleet]

probably is the pivot point, or the entity has an animation that moves that in certain ways?

[obtuse kestrel]

Hm, i used the default chicken animations that may cause the problem, but later i added a custom animation and it didnt seem to work, thanks for the idea imma try fixing that tomorrow

The pivots are all good btw i checked that after i got the error lol

[obtuse kestrel]

it worked, thank you

[thorny sleet]

nice!

[thorny sleet]

is it possible to prevent damage if another player has the same score as you?

[thorny sleet]

or a property set based of of a score?

[radiant field]

this is possible

as there's not any score filter yet

[thorny sleet]

i suppose. but i cant get it to work

[wanton dune]

No score filter yet buddy, I am waiting that filter since 1.16.100, you really need to detect it using tags, properties etc. other things

[fading elm]

Could someone send me a floating text addon

[dawn coyote]

hi there, is it possible to use a value from property to set the "minecraft:health"?

[wanton dune]

What property? Like the custom properties on BP?

[dawn coyote]

yes, a custom property, I would like to change the value which should an int value, so the health of the player would change too

[radiant field]

You will have to hardcode each value

possible to trigger an event if let's say this:property value is 1, so send update:health_1 event which sets ur health to 1

you can also use scripts to do it easier way, but player will only show it's default (20 hp) if you aren't modifying player.json

tho, that player will have modified health, just not visually

[merry carbon]

"override" has bug in damage_sensor?

[dawn coyote]

would it be possible to use permutations and properties? I m trying to use that but changing the properties dont effect the player health, I saw Koala did something similar but I was not able to reproduce: json "permutations":[ { "condition":"q.property('awp:health') == 40", "components":{ "minecraft:health": { "max": 40 } } }, { "condition":"q.property('awp:health') == 50", "components":{ "minecraft:health": { "max": 50 } } }, { "condition":"q.property('awp:health') == 60", "components":{ "minecraft:health": { "max": 60 } } } ],

[radiant field]

Permutations aren’t for entities lol

You have to use an environment sensor with int_property filter

Or you can also use BP animation controllers if you wanna use queries

[dawn coyote]

so how he did it? I was already using sensors, but I m trying to reduce the number of lines on ly player entity json

look it
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-properties.html

[radiant field]

Outdated info, as you can see in that yellow box on top

[elder moss]

Hello

I need Help

I have an entity that I want to make when interacting with it, give me an item, I know this is too easy XD but I need help, and could someone also explain to me how to use events and component groups?

@kind charm I'm sorry for tagging you in such an absurd and rookie thing, but I'm trying to get someone to help me.

[wanton dune]

Don't put / blud

Wait lemme fix the events

[elder moss]

?

Where

[wanton dune]

@elder moss

Wait

[elder moss]

but where was the error?

Ok

[wanton dune]

"events": { 
   "hamberguesa": {
      "run_command": {
         "command": [
            "title @a actionbar Gay"
         ]
      }
   }
}```

This in the events @elder moss

[elder moss]

Ye

[wanton dune]

Never put / on events

[elder moss]

In the command?

Ok I see

[wanton dune]

Can you pls format this? Cause it looks so messy

[wanton dune]

Yes

[wanton dune]

Just copy this

[elder moss]

I did it with Bridge

[elder moss]

Ok

[wanton dune]

Use a json formatter cause it's hard to read it

[elder moss]

How about I send you the file and you can see it better?

[elder moss]

I did it

🙂

I have a question for you now, how are events and component groups used?

[warm tendon]

Here's some documentation on events: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/entityevents?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[mental frigate]

Hey guys

How is everybody doing?

[prime pewter]

is animate texture to entity hard?

[wanton dune]

Animating block and entity textures are not that hard

[sleek kettle]

how do you format code like this?

[wanton dune]

Wdym format?

[trim crater]

Formatting Your JSON Or JS Code

Please format your code as code-blocks! This makes the text monospaced, and has support for syntax highlighting.

JSON
```json
{
"example": 123
}
```

JavaScript
```js
console.log("Hello World");
```

The character used here is the backtick. This symbol is usually at the top left of your keyboard, occupying the tilde key (~). On mobile, it will be on the second or third page of symbols.

Apr 3, 2024, 11:02 PM

[sleek kettle]

Thank you🙏🏼

[raven wadi]

hey i made an entity ( from just a block not vanilla entity ) with minecraft wizard but when i made the animation and go in game it doesnt move it is freeze

[warm tendon]

Did you define the animation and make it play in the rp file for your entity?

[raven wadi]

What do you mean whit define ? I just saved the animation in the animation pack

[warm tendon]

That's not enough. That provides the animation for your pack to use, but nothinf is telling your entity to animate it

[raven wadi]

Ah and how do i do that ;-;

[warm tendon]

The animations and scripts section of this page explain how: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-intro-rp.html#animations

It needs to be done in the file for the entity in the entity folder of your rp

[raven wadi]

Thxxxx

[warm tendon]

Ofc

[raven wadi]

Idle is when te thing not move ?

[warm tendon]

It doesn't really matter what you name it. What tells it to play animations or not is something called molang

To play your moving animation, use q.is_moving

It would look like this in the entity file:

"Scripts:{
  "Animate":[
     {"<name you define for walking animation">:"q.is_moving"},
     {"<name you define for idle animation(when the entity atands still">:"!q.is_moving"}   
  ]
}```

The `!` means not, which is common in many programming languages

[raven wadi]

I keep the < > ?

[warm tendon]

No, that's to show its a placeholder

[raven wadi]

Here i just add q.is_moving ?

[warm tendon]

No

You add that in the format I put within the player file

This page might be helpful: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/guide/custom-entity.html#entity-resource

[raven wadi]

sooo i need to add animation controller ? i dont have this file

[warm tendon]

Not necessarily; but the queries aren't part of the identifier

You can also use the structure I sent above, just replacing the placeholders with the animation name

Putting that code in your rp entity file

[raven wadi]

can modify it with bloc note ?µ

if it works i give you a kinder bueno

you rightttt its not there less goo

i put it where i want ?

or is there a order to put it

bruh i broke it

everything is gone lmao

@warm tendon can you check pls i did what u say to me

[warm tendon]

You don't have the animations or scripts object

This link shows hte full structure:https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-intro-rp.html#animations

You need to replace the animate array inside of scripts with the playing it

Also, if you only have a walking animation, don't have the !q.is_moving

And use the name you define in animations within the entity file, not hte full name

[raven wadi]

i only have the idle animation ;-;

i need to make the walk ?

[warm tendon]

So it's an idle one?

You don't

I just assumed you had both

Only use the !q.is_moving for the idle animation

[raven wadi]

kk

[raven wadi]

what do you mean with objet ?

[warm tendon]

A json object is like this: json "name":{ //content }

Like, materials is an object

So is minecraft:client_entity

They refer to collections of data

[raven wadi]

u mean this ?

[warm tendon]

No

The identifier you give your animation under animations

as described on the wiki page

[raven wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-lost-im-so-counting-gif-18956217

[raven wadi]

pls say me this is it ,-,

[warm tendon]

Yes, that's what I mean

That's where you define the animation

[raven wadi]

yesssssss

[warm tendon]

Now you can add scripts, which has animations under it

[raven wadi]

so im not finished yet ;-;

[warm tendon]

You're almost there

Now the entity knows what it's animations are

You just need to tell it to play them

You're doing good

[raven wadi]

so controller animation ?

[raven wadi]

man im bad in english and first time opening a code line your my hero of this day

[warm tendon]

You can use an animation controller. Either way, you need to add this:json "scripts":{ "animate":[ //animations ] }

You can also put the animation queries you tried earlier into animate. The reason it didn't work is that it wasn't in scripts and the animations weren't defined

[raven wadi]

so i need to modifiy the "attack" by idle and "q_modified_move_speed" ?

[warm tendon]

You can remove attack_controller unless you're using an animation controller. You need to tell it to animate animation controllers in addition to animations. But the walk one is good for a walk animation

Just test if it's 0 to play the idle animation

[raven wadi]

so i need to add the script to for the idle animation or not ? my goal is just to made the idle animation work in game

[raven wadi]

what 0 ;-; ?

[warm tendon]

Test if the speed is 0. replace q.modified_move_speed with replace q.modified_move_speed==0. That tests if the entity si staying still

[raven wadi]

test in game ?

[warm tendon]

Go for it

[raven wadi]

butt umhhhh euuuu my euuu i cant spawn it all texture is gone nothing is doing when i spawn it ;-;

[warm tendon]

You probably have an error in your file

Can you send it?

Also, turn on your content log

[trim crater]

What is Content Log?

The content log gives you live feedback for most errors that could occur while developing your add-on.

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/guide/troubleshooting.html#content-log

Apr 4, 2024, 6:02 PM

[raven wadi]

send the whole RP and BP ?

[warm tendon]

Just the rp file for your specific entity

[warm tendon]

The invisible spawn egg means the bp is fine, but the rp is broken

Ah, those errors mean you have some json errors

[raven wadi]

its mini_marchend think like that

[warm tendon]

Ok, I can't check it out atm but I will later

[raven wadi]

okay thx !

[warm tendon]

The file you sent doesn't have any of the changes you mentioned earlier

[warm tendon]

It still looks like this

[raven wadi]

but that is the change lmao

i added the section animation

there was no animation section before

[warm tendon]

I thought you also added the other things you talked about?

Like animations and scripts

I meant the changes after you sent that image

[raven wadi]

you said before starting script i needed to test in game

[warm tendon]

Oh, that's what you meant

I thought you meant you made those changes and was going to test them

That's what I meant

Test after you make the changes

[raven wadi]

So i had my texture my entity worked in game but after i added animation section it was gone i see nothing anymore

[raven wadi]

I did but i see nothing in game lmao

[warm tendon]

Yeah, you didn't add it lime you were talking about

[raven wadi]

And so u said thats because i did json errors coding ?

[raven wadi]

What lime sry ;-;

[warm tendon]

You need to add this foe your animations

[raven wadi]

ahhh

Yeah forgot that part

[warm tendon]

And then the scripts

[raven wadi]

Lmao

ehh

[warm tendon]

The animate goes inside of scripts

[raven wadi]

So animation -> animation controller -> script ?

[warm tendon]

Animations and scripts are separate

[raven wadi]

But the order ?

Structure

[warm tendon]

Order doesn't matter

You need animations somewhere to define them

[raven wadi]

ah

[warm tendon]

Then scripts with animate inside to play them

[raven wadi]

so lets begin with script

[raven wadi]

this ?

[warm tendon]

Note that both need to be inside before you tesf

[raven wadi]

i add this ?

[raven wadi]

kk

[warm tendon]

Yeah. Then put the part where you animate the animations where I have //animations

[raven wadi]

so my mini_marchend_animation_idle ?

.json with ?

[warm tendon]

I mean this, replacing the names as we discussed

[raven wadi]

kk

@warm tendon what do i do with the q.modified.move.speed ?

[warm tendon]

You only need one idle

The top one will make hte idle animation always played

And replaced q.modified_move_speed with q.modified_move_speed==0

[raven wadi]

im good

just

tf is that

[warm tendon]

Weird, not sure why that's showing up if your entity is working

[raven wadi]

is dont see my textures lmao

nothing

just have this shit its the only problem

[warm tendon]

Oh, so it is broken then? Can you send your new file? As there seems something wrong with the json. It isnt recognizing anything for some reason

[raven wadi]

entity ? or all the RP ?

[warm tendon]

The rp file

For the entity

[warm tendon]

Ah, it's because you closed description before the end

[raven wadi]

hein ?

[warm tendon]

You also are trying to play idle.controller, which doesn't exist

It should be like this:```json

now its the moment of reality xd

@warm tendon not working and same eror with the child thing as before

😭

[warm tendon]

Huh, can you send the entity file again?

Also, are you sure the pack updated?

Like, is it in the development_resource_pack_folder?

[raven wadi]

yess

[raven wadi]

how do i see that lmao

[warm tendon]

Ok, I was just double checking. If it's in development resource packs, it changes whenever you reload the world so that should be fine

It still looks the same

[raven wadi]

i never reload i always leave and join world

[warm tendon]

Thats what I mean by reloading the world lol

[warm tendon]

But yeah, copy and paste what I sent here into the entity file and let me know if that works

It fixes the error with closing the description, and removes the undefined animation controller

[raven wadi]

@warm tendon its back lesss goooo

but im again at the begin point the entity doesnt move lmao

no animation

no movement

[warm tendon]

No content log errors?

[raven wadi]

gonna check

[raven wadi]

nope

nothing

im very happy with that lmao

@warm tendon

[warm tendon]

Huh, maybe it's something with the animation then. Does it work fine in blockbench, and are you sure the animation names line up?

[warm tendon]

Oh, that's hte issue

[raven wadi]

idle ?

[warm tendon]

You're defining mini_marchend.animation.json as idle, so that's the name it's looking for to play. The name of the animation is animation.mini_marchend.idle though.

[raven wadi]

.json with ?

[warm tendon]

You replace mini_marchend.animation.json with animation.mini_marchend.idle

It's looking for animation names, not file names

[raven wadi]

[warm tendon]

Nice! I'm glad it works now!

[raven wadi]

thank you brotha

can i add u please if i have other questions ;-; ?

@warm tendon last thing if i want that he walk i just add "walk": "walk animation" ?

[warm tendon]

Just copy and paste teh json { "idle":"q.modified_move_speed==0" } , but change the ==0 to >0 (this means it will animate it if it's moving), and replace idle with walk

[raven wadi]

why is it in red ?

[warm tendon]

You don't have a comma. Also, the walk : q.modified_move_speed needs to be in curly brackets too

[raven wadi]

"walk":{q.modified_move_speed>0} ?

[raven wadi]

idle also have no comma where do i need to set it ?

[warm tendon]

Between each separate item in the list

The comma shows you're talking about a new thing

[raven wadi]

;-; ?

[warm tendon]

No, not like that

Like, between the curly brackets around idle and around walk

Also between the definition for idle and the definition for walk

[raven wadi]

tf is curly brackets

[warm tendon]

{}

See how there are those around your animation for idle in scripts?

You need that for conditions because of how json works

You might want to consider looking into some general json tutorials

[raven wadi]

;-; ?

[warm tendon]

There needs to be curly brackets around walk too

And remove the extra commas inside of it; by statement I meant each animation

[warm tendon]

Look at bow idle is, and do the sMe fir walk

See how it's around both idle and the query.modified_move_speed?

That's what you need for the walk

It's telling the game that those 2 things go together

An object so to speak

Otherwise, it doesn't expect the colon

[raven wadi]

?

[warm tendon]

Yep

[raven wadi]

@warm tendon nothing moove ?

[warm tendon]

Now you also need to add a comma between your definition if idle and your definition of walk

[raven wadi]

dont get it , definition like the "idle" and "walk" ?

[warm tendon]

Up in animations

That's the definition of them

It let's the entity know which animations to use

[raven wadi]

@warm tendon it is supposed to walk but he dont move

[warm tendon]

Can you send the rp file now? Also, I'm going to be unavailable for a few hours

[raven wadi]

yessir

[raven wadi]

without you my model and I are dead lmao

[warm tendon]

Ok, I think I found the problem. The modified move speed query is acting strangely, and so I think that's the issue. I did some testing with similar queries and the player file, and found that query.is_moving works a lot better. What this means is replacing your scripts with this:

                    "scripts": {
                        "animate": [
                            {
                                "idle": "!q.is_moving"
                            },
                            {
                            "walk": "q.is_moving"
                            }
                        ]
                    
                  }```

What the ! means is not. So it plays idle if it's not moving, and walk if it is

[mental frigate]

[raven wadi]

I try thx

[raven wadi]

i put the bihavior from a golem inside

but

eumh

why is he going backwards

[eternal laurel]

trying to make an entity. when it exploads it can only blow up a certain block

[warm tendon]

The animation is just facing the wrong direction

[eternal laurel]

what does max_resistance mean for the explosion component ? anyone

[raven wadi]

I need to rotate all my animation ??

[warm tendon]

Does it sometimes walk forward? If it does its because you don't have an animation making the entity look in the direction it's supposed to be looking (which I think it kind of does by default, so I doubt this is the case)

If it's always walking backwards, it means that when you animated it, the model is always backwards due to how the coordinate system of blockbench works

[raven wadi]

It walks sometimes forward

So what to i need to add ?

[warm tendon]

I don't remember off the top of my head. I'd reccomend looking at the vanilla animations that entities use to look the right direction (it's like look at target or something). I do know it involves q.target_x_rotation and q.target_y_rotation

[raven wadi]

Okkay i will test home

[wanton dune]

Your animation is not facing north on Blockbench

[raven wadi]

I can flip everything keyframes and model in once ?

[golden vigil]

Did you make sure the texture/model was facing north when you made it

[raven wadi]

I dont know ;-;

[golden vigil]

[wanton venture]

Can we create custom creepers without runtime identifiers?

Im using vanilla files for making one, but getting:
[AI][error]-kai:crimper | Can't use SwellGoal unless Mob is a Creeper mob

[lost jungle]

Is it possible to change/add unique days in the game?
Say for instance, on a full moon night, the game has a 1/4 chance for either a blood moon, a blue moon, or a harvest (halloween) moon to occur instead of a typical full moon night.

Would it require scripting? (I'd hope not, though would understand if it is a necessity for the game)

The reason is to add challenge, as well as variety (also becuase a friend had great ideas for what these special nights would mean for an addon)

[raven wadi]

Brotha is thinking we are in terraria

[lost jungle]

lol, or in Dont starve

[eternal laurel]

does anyone have experience with max_resistance for blocks?

ive been looking for a answer all day

[raven wadi]

@warm tendon Are there other animation then idle,walk and attack ?

[warm tendon]

You can name an animation whatever you wanf

[wanton dune]

Wdym by max resistance

[eternal laurel]

when i try editing my enitities explosion component, parameter max_resistance number it doesnt change anything

im trying to make c4 that explodes only doors

[mental frigate]

Guys, Why is this happening?

[raven wadi]

So i can make an animation walk_to_target ?

Its not to name a animation

How many minecraft animations exist ?

[wanton dune]

Wdym by how many? Ther s is no limit on how many you out your own custom animations

[raven wadi]

But he learned me like there is idle,walk,attack

[wanton dune]

I said theres no limit, you could add how many you want, it's not just idle, walk etc.

[raven wadi]

But if i want to add a « custom » animation i need to add it in my behavior pack ?

[wanton dune]

No

[raven wadi]

;-;

[wanton dune]

It's just on your resource pack

[raven wadi]

im lost lmao

[wanton dune]

Wait

What are we talking about here? I'm lost too

Are we talking about animations on entity or how the entity will act in the world

[raven wadi]

Because when i whrite "attack" animation_minecraft he nows that its for when its gonna attack but if i add a custom name how does he gonna now lmao

[raven wadi]

The walk idle attack

[wanton dune]

ok imma send you sa simple client side of an entity

[raven wadi]

[raven wadi]

Send me a custom so i can see the diff between vanilla and custom entity

[wanton dune]

There's no difference dude

[raven wadi]

But you add things

[wanton dune]

{
  "format_version": "1.10.0",
  "minecraft:client_entity": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "<mob>",
      "materials": {
        "default": "<material>"
      },
      "textures": {
        "default": "<path>"
      },
      "geometry": {
        "default": "<geometry name>"
      },
      "scripts": {
        "animate": [
          "root"
        ]
      },
      "animations": {
        "root": "<animation>"
      },
      "render_controllers": [
        "<render controller>"
      ]
    }
  }
}```

[wanton dune]

Man did you learn basics?

[raven wadi]

I just began 4 days ago with blockbench and all this shit

[wanton dune]

Ohh that explains it

[raven wadi]

Blockbench is not difficult but to import it on Minecraft whaaaat aaaaa massss

[wanton dune]

Btw you can't just use Entity Wizard plugin on Blockbench tho

[raven wadi]

I use it every time ?

[wanton dune]

Huh? When never had a problem doing that.

[wanton dune]

Sorry for English, I mean is *can't you just

Cause it's good for using as a template

[wanton dune]

Ok anyways, here's an simple client side

[wanton dune]

You can add multiple animations as you want here...

[raven wadi]

Aaa you good its just i do THAT but i start from a block and not mob so i make animations idle,walk,attack and then when i make a world and test nothing happend only my idle animation i need to add a vanilla behavior entity to my entity so he can move alone

And i did a golem entity behavior inside and when it walks he do my attack and walk animation sometimes

[wanton dune]

You could do this too

{
  "format_version": "1.10.0",
  "minecraft:client_entity": {
    "description": {
      "identifier": "<mob>",
      "materials": {
        "default": "<material>"
      },
      "textures": {
        "default": "<path>"
      },
      "geometry": {
        "default": "<geometry name>"
      },
      "scripts": {
        "animate": [
          "idle",
          {"walk": "query.ground_speed" },
          {"attack": "variable.attack_time" }
        ]
      },
      "animations": {
        "idle": "<animation>",
        "walk": "<animation>",
        "attack": "<animation>"
      },
      "render_controllers": [
        "<render controller>"
      ]
    }
  }
}```

[raven wadi]

Hehe already did that

[wanton dune]

Bruh format is wrong

Never do that

[raven wadi]

No no its not all my file hete

Here*

[wanton dune]

Whenever you add something that looks like this

"idle": "query.modified_move_speed"

You need to put it inside of { }

Ahhh it hurts my eyes

Also I think modified move speed is broken try using ground_sprrd instead

[raven wadi]

Sry i just discovered coding ;-;

[wanton dune]

You miss a lot of commas

[raven wadi]

"idle": {"query.modified_move_speed"}

?

[wanton dune]

Try using this template, just add the spawn eggg....

[raven wadi]

I just look if there are faults are not lmao

[wanton dune]

You could do that to, it doesn't make sense if you add > 0

[raven wadi]

My guy said i need to do it so

[wanton dune]

Like what I said, you can use this as template

[wanton dune]

Ok

I won't argue with that

[raven wadi]

But you said i forgot commas its gonna change a thing ig ?

[wanton dune]

You could just do is "idle": "!query.is_moving"

[raven wadi]

What does it change ?

[wanton dune]

Just use my template ok

[raven wadi]

Kk

[wanton dune]

If the mob doesn't move it starts the animation

[wanton dune]

Here..

[raven wadi]

Thats good thing

[wanton dune]

But here, idle always plays no matter ehat

[raven wadi]

Can i make like more idles ?

1/2 he do a animation

He rotate from animation

Like not always the same for idle

I do like 3 idle animation and it will constantly change

[wanton dune]

Umm yeah, but you will need to use animation_controller

Yeah try learning basics

[raven wadi]

aha i learned scripts animation and now this thing

[wanton dune]

You're not even finish making the RP properly

[raven wadi]

;-;

[raven wadi]

Its like it choose when an animation is gonna play no ?

[wanton dune]

There's no escape brother, there's entities, item, blocks etc.

[raven wadi]

;-;

[wanton dune]

Wait before that did you make a post? Cause the mods will be mad at as

[raven wadi]

umh no

[wanton dune]

Make sure you edit you need here... Incse you forgor

Open then

Then in #1067869590400544869 try making a post on how to make different idle animation using animation controller, sorry I'm bad at animations controllers

[raven wadi]

You good

Thx

[raven wadi]

U good at behavior entity x) ?

[wanton dune]

Well okay, I'm out, I didn't even eat my lunch yet

[raven wadi]

eat good

[raven wadi]

I meant You not I

[mental frigate]

Can you guys pls help me??

[raven wadi]

@wanton dune

[wanton dune]

What's the problem?

[mental frigate]

Look the zombie doesn't get damaged by the second bullet

[wary radish]

It's the time of invincibility, you can disable the damage using damage sensor and apply it with commands with the cause override

It should also work with scripts

[mental frigate]

Oh thx I found a stupid solution

Tell me if you want to know it

[raven wadi]

Thats fricking cool learn me pls lmao

[wicked scaffold]

Yo anyone got a damage sensor thingy for me

A default or smth to uee

Use*

Ik everyone just asks for this but like I'm sorry if I'm annoying

All i need is a damage sensor that tests if u have the tag safe

You have it you can't damage or be damged

And would also be nice if i could run a command if they are damaging or being damaged

Basically the tellraw command but yea if not possible it's ok

[wary radish]

Of course, what would it be?

[mental frigate]

I tested it and I found that the second pea always doesn’s hit the zombie
So I just made them deal twice damage
So it recovers the damage of the second one

[mental frigate]

Teach you what 😆

[wary radish]

It's a good solution, but if the plant dies before the second pea, the first causes double the damage but I don't think that's a big problem, thanks for sharing.

[mental frigate]

You have a point but good thing is that the interval count is small(0.25) so it will be hard to not shoot the second one

[mental frigate]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1199604145741647983

About the command thing it’s simple

[fading root]

Does modifying any vanilla mobs behavior files have any disadvantages/ problems? I'm adding extra components to every entity and before I do that I want to make sure it doesn't change anything it would do as in vanila

[kind charm]

It will make your add-on incompatible with other add-ons, and you need to constantly update it each update

[fading root]

Alr I am aware of that. But there's nothing that the game misses out and aside from the extra components I add everything should work just like in vanilla right?

[kind charm]

Sure

[raven wadi]

can i make like mores idles animation and that every time it will play a random animation of the "idles animation" ?

[raven wadi]

Do i need an animation for this ?

[wanton dune]

I already said that ask about animations in the #1067869590400544869 cause this channel is for the component of the entities

[raven wadi]

yeah sry my post is gone

[raven wadi]

Just send the Bp and Rp not to stole it just wanna see what entity behavior and json looks like when it is custom

[snow ruin]

How can I make the entity have armor on?

[eternal laurel]

can someone help me? my gun addon wont let me aim when crouch, plus the players arm wont move and stiff when walking. also becasue of that i think it caused the gun 3rd persons perspective to be aiming at the floor

[glacial summit]

does anyone know why I'm being told my geometry isn't found?

not sure what else I'm missing

[rain egret]

models/entity/flag.json ?

[glacial summit]

🤦‍♂️ I hate working with entities thank you

[round spear]

hey yall, what animations are important to get an entity to look at you? I have look at target, but they can't look up or down

[wanton dune]

When the entity spawned it had a an armor or just visual to have an armor

[wanton dune]

is it possible to make any hostile mobs like zombie, skeleton don't attack the player that had the same name... Example if the mob had name Coddy, it won't attack all player who's name Coddy also

[pseudo swan]

Is there a way to make global entities ?

[kind charm]

What are "global" entities

[pseudo swan]

Entities that you can see from far away

no matter the distance

[kind charm]

Probably not via json. You can only filter by tag iirc. Check the docs though for the list of filters

[kind charm]

I don't think so no, maybe ender_dragon runtime but highly discourage

[pseudo swan]

Doesnt work

[soft oak]

What do I need to make an entity hold a item?

[wanton dune]

replaceitem entity @e[type=<entity id>] slot.weapon.mainhand 0 <item>
or
replaceitem entity @s slot.weapon.mainhand 0 <item>

[soft oak]

I kinda meant component wise, as doing that command gives me an error

Or model wise

[wanton dune]

huh?

sorry i'm stupid rn

[soft oak]

It said it encountered an unexpected error. This is a custom entity btw

[wanton dune]

oh okay, why tho? i means whats the error?

cause it should not happen

[soft oak]

Just in-game, after running the replaceitem command, it says an unexpected error occurred. I’m assuming something is wrong with some component or part of my model

[wanton dune]

does your model have the rightItem folder?

[soft oak]

Yes

[wanton dune]

did it state what type of error behavior or the resource?

[soft oak]

Its just unexpected error in red text in chat :/

Let me recreate it again

[wanton dune]

ohh

maybe you did the command wrong

it's not your custom entity

[soft oak]

I think I set it to ‘Minecraft:equippible’ (I don’t know what I’m doing)

Oh ok

That was the problem

Wow

[wanton dune]

oh ok then hahahah

[soft oak]

Yeah it’s completely fine now

After all those edits I didn’t have to make

[soft oak]

Quick question, is there anyway to preview what the item being held would look like in blockbench?

[wanton dune]

nope, theres no way

[soft oak]

Dang, thanks tho

[soft oak]

Ah its great

[wanton dune]

looks awesome

[soft oak]

I can finally go to sleep now (4:20)

[violet vector]

Can we have different rendering options for items in off-hand as compared to that in main hand
For example if I have an item in main hand then I want to hold it but if it's in my off-hand then I want it sitting on my shoulder, is it possible?

[warm tendon]

You can use an attachable for that probably. I believe you can conditionally change the binding of the model with queries, doing something like c.item_slot=='main_hand'?'rightitem':'waist'

[violet vector]

Oh thanks

[violet vector]

Wait like a separate attachable file?

[warm tendon]

Does your item already have an attachable?

[violet vector]

Yes cuz it has a 3D model

Wanna take a look?

[warm tendon]

I don't think I'll need to. You theoretically should just need to replace the binding in the geometry with the above query

I believe that's how the shield renders correctly in both hands

[violet vector]

oh ok, tysm!

[warm tendon]

Lmk if it doesnt work

Note that you'll probably also need to do the same for the animation, have different offsets based on which hand its in

[violet vector]

got it

[violet vector]

hey there is just one binding for third person, will it work for both back and front?

[warm tendon]

Wdym by back and front?

[violet vector]

oh sorry i meant to say main hand and off-hand

[warm tendon]

Ah, gotcha. I think there is only one spot for bindings, but that you can use a query to make it have different bones based on what hand it's in

[violet vector]

gotcha

[warm tendon]

I just double checked the shield, this is what it has in its binding q.item_slot_to_bone_name(c.item_slot). This doesn't do what you want, but it shows molang is possible to use there

[violet vector]

what does it do then?

[warm tendon]

It pretty much turns main_hand to rightitem and off_hand to leftitem iirc. So you'll need to use something along the lines of thsi to replicate the behavior, so it doesn't swing with the hand: c.item_slot=='main_hand'?'rightitem':'waist'

[violet vector]

uhh this is the best time to mention that this is my first time, and i have also just started learning to make addons in general so can you provide more context? Please

[warm tendon]

Ah, gotcha. So what the query the shield uses does is takes in some text (called a string), and returns another string. It only has a few values though, so isn't useful. Theoretically, the one I sent should then check what item slot it's in (c.item_slot). If it's in the main hand (=='main_hand'), it will animate with the main hand(?'rightitem', rightitem is a bone name in the player's geometry which the attachable is "bound" to). Otherwise, it binds itself to the waist so it doesn't turn with the player's arm (:'waist')

Note that I haven't tested it

Also, in general (<condition>?A:B) will be treated as A if <condition> is true. If <condition> is false, it will be treated as B

[violet vector]

Thanks for going in detail but where do i apply this condition, also I do how to code, I just don't know much about making Minecraft addons

[warm tendon]

Ah, gotcha

That goes into the geometry file itself

Here's the shield geometry for example: ```json
{
"format_version": "1.16.0",
"minecraft:geometry": [
{
"description": {
"identifier": "geometry.shield",
"texture_width": 64,
"texture_height": 64
},
"bones": [
{
"name": "shield",
"binding": "q.item_slot_to_bone_name(c.item_slot)",
"pivot": [ 1.0, 15.5, 3.0 ],
"cubes": [
{
"origin": [ 0.0, 25.0, 0.0 ],
"size": [ 2.0, 6.0, 6.0 ],
"uv": [ 26, 0 ]
},
{
"origin": [ -5.0, 17.0, -1.0 ],
"size": [ 12.0, 22.0, 1.0 ],
"uv": [ 0, 0 ]
}
]
}
]
}
]
}

[violet vector]

Oh gotcha

Thank you so much for help

[eternal laurel]

So does anyone know why my players arms are stiff with no animations?

[fading hawk]

hey ive never made an entity before how would i go about making a giant rectangle textured like water

i need to have it rise to simulate rising water

if that makes sense

[soft oak]

You may want to lookup some Blockbench tutorials

[fading hawk]

is it hard to make one?

[soft oak]

No, not really. Especially if you use bridge.app

Its just putting a bunch of cubes together for the model

You also use blockbench for the texture and any animations you want

[fading hawk]

literally a giant black rectanngle and a giant textured blue and red one lol

it sounds simple idk what im doing though

[soft oak]

Just gotta fiddle around with some things and figure stuff out. It’s way easier than you may think

[mental frigate]

Is there a better way of doing this?

[mental frigate]

Wait what?

What is this?

[soft oak]

Oh, this is just me trying to center the item an entity I made to show items

and using the other entity as a camera to help me

[mental frigate]

Oh noice

[soft oak]

Somewhat final result. Still need to do other items

[mental frigate]

Nice

For what are you doing this for?

[soft oak]

This is just some random application I did for it, but I made it to try to recreate a lootbox from a prisons server I used to play on

[wanton venture]

Can I apply an attachable on a dropped item entity?

[wanton dune]

I think you can't.... That's why some people if they make 3d drop they make an entity ride that item.

[wanton venture]

Unfortunate, really unfortunate

[soft oak]

Is there any way to make entities more 'reliable' in facing a certain direction? For example, if I teleported my custom entity looking 90deg to the right, it looks about half way, then half a second later, looks all the way.

[mental frigate]

Are you making cameras?

I mean you can just make animation for turning left and right

If that’s what you want

Also

I want to make an entity that when it have a target it plays a chase music and when it loses it’s target the music stops
Is it possible?

[untold viper]

I think he's about the thing that on rotation at first head is rotated and then the body

[wanton dune]

it's possbile but you need a lot of math in animation i guess...

[wanton dune]

ok how do i make the frog eats player

[urban loom]

can you change boss component using scripts? like :

p.getComponent("boss").value = value

it seems like it doesnt work, is it possible?

[radiant field]

you can't get that component with script

[ruby cape]

You can't retrieve that component with the current APIs you could add a tag to the entity that has the component tho

[wanton dune]

Is entity alias is still a thing or valid on entities? If yes can someone teach me hahahaha

[kind charm]

Yes it is

[tulip karma]

why is my fireball instantly going off when i throw it

[kind charm]

https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1217022475792289802

[prisma rampart]

If I wanted to make an entity like wolf hold a weapon (sword or axe) how would I do that? And how would I make sure it’s able to give me the weapon back?

Similar to how fox does

[wanton dune]

Check fox vannila file?

Edit the player entities and out your mob there

Do you have player vanilla file?

[rain egret]

You can also add the parrot tame family to the fox, so as not to edit player.json

[toxic trellis]

nope

[toxic trellis]

i did, it sits, but idk how to take the off

[rain egret]

XD

[wanton dune]

Wdym by nope?

[toxic trellis]

i don't have vanilla player file

[wanton dune]

You could use /ride to take the mob off your shoulders

Whenever the player sneaks or whatever.

[toxic trellis]

yeah that, how?

[wanton dune]

How to take the mob off or how to detect player is sneaking or whatever

[toxic trellis]

yes

the 2nd one

[wanton dune]

/execute as @a at @s positioned ~~1.5~ unless entity @s[dx=0] run ride @s evict_riders

[golden vigil]

Well that works a lot better than trying to make the parrot runtime identifier to work like I tried... which does btw but only when you jump from a height of 1 block

[toxic trellis]

what mob have this behavior?

oh i remember now, the frog

[warm tendon]

You should get it. The vanilla files are your most helpful resource in making addons. Here's the link to them: https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/releases

[raw flume]

Just wondering, is the raids hardcodded

if i could add a costum mob to raids that would be a great idea

[toxic trellis]

you can in java, idk about bedrock

[raw flume]

Very informative 🗿

Well i found out u can mess with pillager to add costum mob to raids, thats neats

[toxic trellis]

add wither

it'll better if you can make custom raids

[raw flume]

Nah, omw adding ender dragon

[toxic trellis]

imagine nether outbreak like the ones in the Fallen Kingdom series

[obtuse wave]

is it possible to hide a players armor when they have an invis effect, without using the scale component

[wanton dune]

Render controller of the armor I guess

[obtuse wave]

do you know the armor part names by chance?

[obtuse wave]

hmm thanks

[toxic trellis]

my fennec fox can pick up items, but it also destroys it, like once it picked up an item that item's gone, how do i fix that?

which i think is also the reason why it's not showing what item it's holding because it's not holding an item

[kind charm]

Make sure you have enable_attachables in your client file

[toxic trellis]

how do i do that?

is that why the items are disappearing? because it doesn't have that?

[kind charm]

Check the fox client file

[toxic trellis]

the json file?

[kind charm]

In the resource pack yes

[toxic trellis]

oh it's in the resource pack

where in the resource pack? the entity?

[kind charm]

Yes

[toxic trellis]

where do i put it?

like this?

[kind charm]

It's just a boolean, you don't need the {} after true

[toxic trellis]

like this?

[kind charm]

Yeah

[toxic trellis]

where do i put it under?

[kind charm]

Look at the fox's entity file and place it in the same place

[toxic trellis]

i can't find it

[toxic trellis]

found it in drowned, it still didn't show the item in it's mouth

[wanton dune]

You need to put a locator named held_item on your mobs model JSON.

[toxic trellis]

i did

well, i copied the one that fox has, am i supposed to make a new locator?

[wanton dune]

Try making a folder named rightItem or leftItem idk if this will work on your mob but that's how I made my entity shows an item in their model

[toxic trellis]

anywhere?

[wanton dune]

Put a bone named like that inside of your mob model

[toxic trellis]

wdym bone?

oh, made it, do i put it in the same location as the held_item locator?

it's showing item now

thank you

[wanton dune]

No prob

[toxic trellis]

i guess that's why any item it picks up disappears, because the item got nowhere to go

[toxic trellis]

oh nope, items it picks up still disappears :>

[wanton dune]

So it still doesn't work?

If yes, two options, you need to put a bone on your model with named rightItem or add a locator to your model named held_item. That's the only possible way

I think hahahaha

[toxic trellis]

i know why, i just used add-on maker to make the mob then i edited it, it's an old code i think

i copied the code of fox, from 1.21 preview, it works, but the position of the item is werid

[wanton dune]

Check the model gile

Or open blockbench

[toxic trellis]

btw, i can just copy the tameable from wolf, right?

[wanton dune]

Yeah

[toxic trellis]

can i just make like "minecraft:fennec_fox_tame", so i can have a seperate behaviour for a tamed one?

like this one

can i just type it there and it'll work or i have to do something else? to make it work?

[crystal temple]

Is it possible to hide bones from the player without requiring invisibility?

[rancid ivy]

why does my entity walk in place?

[wanton dune]

Render controllers

Or scale in entities

[wanton dune]

You didn't put any speed on your mob or the animation plays even if the mob isn't moving

[rancid ivy]

i know that but how do i fix it

entity file

[wanton dune]

Put speed on mob or fix the animation

[rancid ivy]

there is speed on mob

ima try the seconf option

[crystal temple]

Mmm but wouldn't that make it incompatible with another Addon? I guess so

[wanton dune]

Same as the scale in entities

If you want compatability use /playanimation making the scale of entity to 0

It would be compatible with other add-on

Or use invisibility but the armor is still visible

[crystal temple]

Ohh nice thank you

[crystal temple]

That's also an option XD

[limber night]

Anyone have an idea about this strange material?

entity_multitexture_alpha_test_color_mask

The wiki calls it "unknown". In my testing I've found it to have these properties:

Greyscale
Backface-Culling
Transparency
Translucency as Transparency

Only problem is, it doesn't render my skin so my white glass entity ends up looking pink

[wanton venture]

What is the updated syntax for minecraft:entity_sensor?

And i'll give feedback on docs because both examples are wrong

oh, found it

I'll report

[wanton venture]

It has to be the name of the animation in the entity file

[wanton venture]

https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/minecraft-creator/issues/823

[eternal laurel]

how to make an entity spawn on a pig when pig dies?

or just any entity in fact.

im trying to make a animal carcus system

[radiant field]

Use damage sensor and detect fatal damage, cancel that damage and after that you can either transform your entity to a different one, or just spawn one using “minecraft:spawn_entity” component and despawn your original entity

[eternal laurel]

thanks

[eternal laurel]

@radiant field Yeah so im having problems

when i kill pig it dont work

im not sure what i did wrong

[eternal laurel]

can i not use this as a function?

[wanton dune]

What's that?

Provided more context pls

[sleek silo]

.heavyn

Faça coisas do localizador no blockbench > Adicione partícula ao localizador > adicione o nome do localizador > salve o modelo > adicione à entidade do cliente: json { "particle_effects": { "spell": "minecraft:evoker_spell" } }

[eternal laurel]

@coddy I fixed it. It’s just a function. Apparently it wasn’t working because I had a space and the / in the beginning

[lunar lynx]

Does anyone know a line of code that can make certain mobs follow a certain mob?

[violet vector]

          "priority": number,
          "speed_multiplier": number,
          "start_distance": number,
          "stop_distance": number
        }

[lunar lynx]

I want it to follow a mob

Like a soldier following it’s captain

[wanton dune]

There's now way I think. Only possible is the owners

[violet vector]

Idk if it'll work but how about making the captain the owner

[lunar lynx]

how?

[wanton dune]

I dont think this will work but why don't give it a try tho. The steps are still the same but instead of player i's other entities.

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/spawning-tamed-entities.html

[lunar lynx]

if a mob

waait

if i make a weapon that summons a pre tamed wolf

and give it to a mob to fire

or can i use a summon?

[violet vector]

That might just work

[eternal laurel]

does anyone know why my custom entity wont drop loot?

[wanton dune]

"minecraft:loot": {
  "table": "loot_tables/empty.json"
}

[eternal laurel]

i have that

[wanton dune]

maybe the path is not valid

[eternal laurel]

it still wont work

i dont know why it would tho

[radiant field]

show your entity code

[eternal laurel]

put .json dude

[eternal laurel]

i tried that lol then i removed thinking that was the problem

[wanton dune]

did you try other loots?

[eternal laurel]

no

[wanton dune]

like slime other loots aisde from yours?

cause if it works then it means your custom loot table is not valid

[wanton dune]

try it.

[eternal laurel]

okay

hmm. well it works with normal minecraft porkchop

but what would be wrong with my item

it works now!!!!

no clue why but thatnks for the help!!!

god bless

one last thing...... how to make entity knockback resistant

[wanton dune]

here:

  "value": 0.5
}```

[eternal laurel]

whats the max vaulue?

is it possible to remove the entities death particles?

i lied ab last question this is tho

[wanton dune]

make an event with "minecraft:instant_despawn": {} or "minecraft:despawn": {} but it won't drop the loot

[wanton dune]

no max value. you could put anything you want. even it's 999 it does not matter

[eternal laurel]

thank you!!!!!

[wanton dune]

nah it don't matter, glad I could help

[vagrant forum]

Hey @toxic trellis, I don't suppose you ever managed to get this working correctly? Cheers.

[toxic trellis]

it works now

[vagrant forum]

Great, do you mind sharing how you managed to get it working please? I have an entity that is definitely picking up items but they don't display. I've tried adding the held_item locator and rightItem group but neither work. Thanks.

[toxic trellis]

do you have the pickup items behaviour?

and the enable_attachables set to true?

[vagrant forum]

yeah, both are enabled

[vagrant forum]

The entity is definitely picking up items as they bring them back to me and drop them. Does your entity model have the held_item locator or the rightItem group?

I've tried all of these but none of them causes the item to appear

[untold viper]

How to make an entity follow nearest player?

[wanton dune]

Make them tamed

[untold viper]

without it?

[timber wolf]

@kind charm hey man! Are you familiar with dynamicProperties.
I have a list of 'stars' in my world. And i need to create unique ID's + data. for each star.
when a star is spawned, i give it a name, and catalogue its position. Using world.setDynamicProperty.

The problem, is that eventually. I need to remove this dynamicProperty (when the star is destroyed. So that no more logic is applied)

I noticed the method for
world.clearDynamicProperties.

but cannot find anything for world.removeDynamicProperty. So i can disable specific properties (stars)

Any idea / workaround for removing my specific star (dynamicProperty)

const key = "ts_ml:star_${spawnLocation.x}_${spawnLocation.z}_${Date.now()}";

const starData = "${spawnLocation.x},${spawnLocation.y},${spawnLocation.z},${blockType},true";

world.setDynamicProperty(key, starData);

[untold viper]

set to undefined?

also wrong channel

[timber wolf]

mb, which channel should i direct it to. figured world/entities was the spot

[untold viper]

#1067535382285135923

[timber wolf]

I could set as undefined.

But i have another problem in my update. if youd like to help

[untold viper]

This is script api related

[wanton dune]

You can't make an entity follow someone without being tamed or something afaik, I know a method but this method only works on players.

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/spawning-tamed-entities.html

[wanton dune]

Set the value to unedefined

[cosmic crown]

Is there a way to prevent players from taking damage from the Fire Aspect Charm?

[untold viper]

Yea i need for players

[wanton dune]

Then it would work

[untold viper]

Without taming? Maybe with melee attack or smth?

[lunar lynx]

I think people can do leashes

And make the invisible

If u can even do that?

[wanton dune]

Then you need to hide the leash and it's not a good option to make the leash invisible

[wanton venture]

Can you detect if the player is in survival in an entity sensor?

ohhh

thanks!

So, if im not mistaken, this should only active if the entity is a player and not in creative mode?

Yup! That works, thanks!

So for some reason not works but != doesn't

[tough oracle]

this might be a odd question but is it possible to render an entity that is visible to only one player and invisibile to other players?

[wanton dune]

You can't now.

You can call it client side, before we could do that but now we can't

[tough oracle]

what has changed?

like how would you do that when it worked? and what version did it work?

[wanton dune]

I forgot now but someone made a post way back before 1.20.30 that he made a client side but since one query was removed it won't work anymore

Afaik it was the query.get entities except player something I forgot

[tough oracle]

so he never published it? was it in #1046947779118895114 ?

[wanton dune]

He made the post but it was deprecated as what he had said cause that query was removed now.

I don't remember if he post there but yeah, in short we couldn't do what you want now

[tough oracle]

sad

You know if the bossbar radius has a limit?

[wanton dune]

Yes

[sour escarp]

how would i make an entity wake up if the player gets to close? like a boss

[wanton dune]

Detect if the mob is sleeping, and detect if there's a nearby entity like player

You could use filters for that

[violet vector]

how can i give a mob, immunity to thunder strikes aka lightning

[wanton dune]

Damage sensor

[violet vector]

damage sensor?

[wanton dune]

"minecraft:damage_sensor": {}

[cosmic crown]

Is there a way to prevent players from taking damage from the Fire Aspect Charm?

[wanton dune]

Wdym by Fire Aspect Charm? The enchantment one?

It's a yes and no

[cosmic crown]

Yes@wanton dune

Fire aspect

[wanton dune]

You can make that but it also affect other things like lava, fire

If you're just gonna use "minecraft:damage_sensor": {}

there's a workaround other than that. Like scripts, I'm sure it's possible just a bit tricky, not sure tho

[cosmic crown]

It is better if it also affects fire and lava but I want it to prevent teams from hurting each other and precisely with the fire aspect enchantment they hurt each other.

[wanton dune]

Then you could just make that if the player had the same tag on each other they won't take damage

If that's what you want

[cosmic crown]

That's exactly how I have it.

It prevents all damage but precisely if it allows with that enchantment and that is why I wanted to know how to avoid it.

[wanton dune]

Does it work?

[cosmic crown]

Yes

[wanton dune]

Sorry I don't understand a bit, but what you mean is that players don't take damage if they have same tags but when the item have enchantments it is ignored?

[cosmic crown]

Yes, that same thing happens. Everything works well, damage with arrows, sword, fist, etc. is avoided. But if a fire-like sword is used it is ignored and the player takes damage.

how would i make a boss with a healthbar and stages? i looked at the wither but couldnet find anything

how to add player animation to a custom entity ?

[eternal laurel]

{
"format_version": "1.10.0",

}
}
}

why does my entity only work when i change tthe rendercrollers to "controller.render.pig"?

is there a way to make my entity have its own render?

also what does render controllers even do?

[untold viper]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/render-controllers.html

[eternal laurel]

i was just on that website and this is all it told me lol "render_controllers
Specifies the names of render controllers. This name needs to match the name of a corresponding JSON located in the Render Controllers folder. Players can reference Render Controllers from the vanilla Minecraft Resource Pack or create their own. Custom Render Controllers should be in the textures folder at the root of the Resource Pack."

but yes thank you for that im very new to all this

[fading scarab]

how to add player animation to a custom entity ?

[sterile iron]

Copy the player client entity JSON and paste it into your entity file

Im secure that blockbench let you use player as a base

That mojang plugin

[fading scarab]

"minecraft:damage_sensor": {
                "triggers": [
                    {
                        "cause": "lightning",
                        "deals_damage": false
                    },
                    {
                        "cause": "entity_attack",
                        "deals_damage": true
                    }
                ]
            },``` how to allow the damage and enable an event only if a player attack ?

[fading scarab]

that doesn't work

[languid sentinel]

can I get an entity to pick up items? I've tried using minecraft:behavior.pickup_items with minecraft:shareables but I cant get them to pick anything up. is it random? I want it like a piglin where they can pick things up as soon as they seen an item

[sterile iron]

Your model bones should be the same as player model

[fading scarab]

do you know how i can have the player model ?

[languid sentinel]

it's within this file with the name geometry.humanoid.custom:geometry.humanoid
https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/main/resource_pack/models/mobs.json

[fading scarab]

ok ty

[fading scarab]

but the animations don't work

[fading scarab]

@languid sentinel

[languid sentinel]

along with the animations, did you also copy the definitions for animation_controllers and scripts? if it isn't already, also check if the format version is 1.8.0 or the animation_controllers won't work

[fading scarab]

i make that```js

        }
    }
}```

[wanton dune]

How would the animations would play if you didn't specify what's the controller.

[fading scarab]

how i can make the controller ?

[languid sentinel]

"scripts": {
    "scale": "0.9375",
    "initialize": [
        "variable.is_holding_right = 0.0;"
    ],
    "pre_animation": [
        "variable.helmet_layer_visible = 1.0;",
        "variable.leg_layer_visible = 1.0;",
        "variable.boot_layer_visible = 1.0;",
        "variable.chest_layer_visible = 1.0;",
        "variable.attack_body_rot_y = Math.sin(360*Math.sqrt(variable.attack_time)) * 5.0;",
        "variable.tcos0 = (math.cos(query.modified_distance_moved * 38.17) * query.modified_move_speed / variable.gliding_speed_value) * 57.3;",
        "variable.item_use_normalized = query.main_hand_item_use_duration / query.main_hand_item_max_duration;"
    ],
    "animate": [
        "root"
    ]
}

try adding ^^this^^ script definition inside the entity description and add these animations to your animations:

"root": "controller.animation.player.root",
"base_controller": "controller.animation.player.base",
"humanoid_base_pose": "animation.humanoid.base_pose",

[fading scarab]

that don't work

[toxic trellis]

is there a plugin in blocbench for entity seat?

[wanton dune]

Ohh c'mon just send the whole RP pack caus it's hard to explain if you do this

[gloomy glacier]

Yes there is

Try searching for something like collision box or just scroll through the avaiable plugins until you find it

[toxic trellis]

okie, thanks

[halcyon pawn]

is this how you declare a boolean entity property?

    "mh:ignated": {
        "type": "boolean",
        "default": false,
        "client_sync": true
    }
}```

[torpid cove]

The type is bool

[wanton dune]

It's bool

[fading scarab]

@wanton dune

[languid sentinel]

the scripts and animations should be inside the description

[fading scarab]

i know, they are in the description

[wanton dune]

The animation controller of player behaves different than the mobs.

Like sneaking.

Also make sure that your models and bones match how the player model was made

[fading scarab]

do you want my addon for check because i'm not sure ?

[reef oyster]

how do I add/change a texture based off of what the custom mob is wearing?

[languid sentinel]

I think you'll need to use a render controller. looks something like this:

{
    "format_version": "1.8.0",
    "render_controllers": {
        "controller.render.custom_mob": {
            "geometry": "Geometry.default",
            "materials": [
                {
                    "*": "Material.default"
                }
            ],
            "textures": [
                "query.is_item_name_any('slot.armor.chest', 0, 'minecraft:diamond_chestplate') ? Texture.custom : Texture.default"
            ]
        }
    }
}

inside textures you use the is_item_name_any query. If true, it'll use Texture.custom and if false, it'll use Texture.default

check this link for more info on the query: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/documentation/queries.html#query-is-item-name-any
and this one for render_controllers: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/render-controllers.html

[reef oyster]

thanks but I am trying to have a mob wear custom armor for it not for other mobs and horses are being mean by being the only one with that power. the game refuses to look at the armor in the horse armor slot I think.

[reef oyster]

It works now!

[fading scarab]

?

[fading scarab]

@wanton dune

[wanton dune]

Oh wait

[wanton dune]

Yeah

[fading scarab]

what have you change ?

[wanton dune]

Just check it, I'm a bit lazy to explain, I just woke up

[reef oyster]

is there a way to check the tag of an item an entity is wearing to make this code a bit better?

[wanton dune]

What tag you want to detect on the item? Also the items are like armor? Netherite, diamond?

Cause afaik you can't detect on armor you wear unless it's an item

[reef oyster]

"mc:gorgo_armor" added to all the armor for the gorgosaurus

[fading scarab]

how to execute an event if a player look the eyes of an entity ?

[wanton dune]

Need commands I guess

Wait lemme check enderman

You can't

[fading scarab]

ok

[reef oyster]

I haven't tested this but try seeing if making the runtime identifier to the Enderman does anything

[wanton dune]

You can't run a command

Wait

This is the enderman file

Enderman get angry when you look at them maybe you could run command on the events like.

        "remove": {
          "component_groups": [
            "minecraft:enderman_calm"
          ]
        },
        "add": {
          "component_groups": [
            "minecraft:enderman_angry"
          ]
        },
        "run_command": {
          "command": [
            "say TEST"
          ]
        }
      }```

[reef oyster]

still how do I get this to be condensed to a small amount using this "mc:gorgo_armor" tag?

[fading scarab]

minecraft:lookat could work ?

[reef oyster]

probably just test it and see what happens.

[fading scarab]

i test but that work only if an entity see the same direction

but i'm not sure of my settings of lookat component

[reef oyster]

how do I make it that if I remove the "mc:netherite" component group from an with an event it actually removes those components?

[wanton dune]

What component you want to remove?

[reef oyster]

"minecraft:fire_immune" as I want it to be that when it has the armor it's immune to fire but without the armor it isn't

[wanton dune]

Afaik you can't remove the fire immune immune once you put that it's there forever

[reef oyster]

😦

[wanton dune]

If you really need to add and damage sensor to the mob removing the damage on first but you remove that if it doesn't have an armor

And if you easier

Add effects fire resistant and remove once it doesn't have armor

So your idea isn't thrown to trash

[reef oyster]

thank you!

[lunar lynx]

Use functions

Easy

One file and easy code

@e[hasitem={item=addon:name,location=slot.armor.legs}] jump_boost 1 2 true
effect

Here is an example
