[eternal heart]

hello does anyone here know how to make a GRABBING attack?

[ember aspen]

Use rideable and fake it.

[unborn pier]

Is it possible to run commands on animation controllers in Minecraft 1.18?

[ember aspen]

In BP AC yes.

[eternal heart]

How?

How does that work

@ember aspen could u tell me

[ember aspen]

Did you read the wiki?

[barren plover]

Is it possible to make a entity, which only has a animation, when it has a specific tag or something?

[unborn pier]

How to fire a command in a BP AC example

[eternal heart]

I’m asking it for my coder, he told me to ask how to make a player can be grab by entity

when it got attacked

we’ve been tried many code and it didnt work

[wanton dune]

With using player.json or without.

[eternal heart]

its a sea scorpion, and i wanna make it when its near you it will attack and grab you

Using ride code

Thats what the coder said

[wanton dune]

Ohh I get it

[eternal heart]

Yeah

[wanton dune]

Just make the player able to ride the scorpion

By adding the rideable component

[eternal heart]

Hows the code

[eternal heart]

Could i give u the code and can u edit it?

[eternal heart]

Oh you guys are friend right, streepai?

he wants u to dm him and tell him

[wanton dune]

[eternal heart]

Hey cody

Streepai wants to dm you

[eternal heart]

So I should make it rideable?

[eager barn]

Hi friends. Just a general question: Is it possible for us to make a coupling train for bedrock?
So it´s a train set with 5 entities (loco, flatcar, gondola, boxcar, passenger) and so they should function like minecarts, but being able to be coupled together when they touch?

[ruby cape]

What in the world

[eager barn]

haha it´s an attempt to make a little train 😄

[ruby cape]

It might require a few entities ngl

[eager barn]

so far it should just be like a minecart...

[ruby cape]

The "coupled" part might need to be a whole entity

Like a dummy entity

[eager barn]

I´ll get back to the train in another time, I got a list I need to convert/port and finish first of a Park set with its rides (animated entities too) - the screenshot is not the final product. The final will be in 16x16 as these models I had made for a future Hytale game

[restive aspen]

what wrong with my entity flag 😭

[reef oyster]

how do I have an entity trigger events based on it's envirment? (aka how mush space it can move in)

[ruby cape]

Anybody know why my mounts inventory closes when I try and open it?

[fading elm]

Hi guys, how about bat behavior like a bat in minecraft , how could I get when it is sleeping vertically ?

Is there a code or animation ?

[sterile rivet]

"animation.bat.resting": {
"loop": true,
"bones": {
"Head": {
"rotation": ["query.target_x_rotation", "180.0f - query.target_y_rotation", 180],
"position": [0, 0.3, 0]
},
"body": {
"rotation": [180, 0, 0],
"position": [0, 0.3, 0]
},
"feet": {
"rotation": [0, 0, 0]
},
"rightWing": {
"rotation": [0, -10, 0],
"position": [0, 0, 1]
},
"rightWingTip": {
"rotation": [0, -120, 0]
},
"leftWing": {
"rotation": [0, 10, 0],
"position": [0, 0, 1]
},
"leftWingTip": {
"rotation": [0, 120, 0]
}
}
},

I am not sure

and there is the anim controller :
{
"format_version" : "1.10.0",
"animation_controllers" : {
"controller.animation.bat.move" : {
"resting" : {
"animations" : [ "resting" ],
"transitions" : [
{
"flying" : "!query.is_resting"
}
]
}
}
}
}

[fading elm]

Ok thank you

[sterile flint]

How can I trigger an entity event when the player right-clicks while riding the same entity?

I need to trigger an animation when the player is riding that entity and press right-click

Or any key/click, doesn't have to be just rc

W/o scripts

[ruby cape]

@sterile flint you would have to first check if the player is riding the entity. Once that passes see if the player interacts with the entity. You can try the environment_sensor to detect if the entity has a mount and then use the interact component to test if the player interacted.

You can do this with scripts too using the after event playerInteractWithEntity. However this is under beta API

[sterile flint]

This is on the entity's json:

        "interactions": [
          {
            "interact_text": "Click derecho para girar al Gigante",
            "on_interact": {
              "filters": {
                "all_of": [
                  {
                    "test": "bool_property",
                    "subject": "self",
                    "domain": "gigante:spin",
                    "value": false
                  },
                  {
                    "test": "is_riding",
                    "subject": "player",
                    "value": true
                  }
                ]
              },
              "event": "gigante:spin_true"
            }
          }
        ]
      }```

It doesn't work as it is

I know something's missing, beside the environment_sensor

If I add this:

        "triggers": [
          {
            "event": "self:example",
            "target": "self",
            "filters": {
              "test": "has_tag",
              "value": "example"
            }
          }
        ]
      }```
I have to trigger an event that adds a component group with the minecraft:interact component in it, right?

        "triggers": [
          {
            "event": "gigante:interact_on",
            "target": "self",
            "filters": {
              "test": "is_riding",
              "subject": "player",
              "value": true
            }
          },
          {
            "event": "gigante:interact_off",
            "target": "self",
            "filters": {
              "test": "is_riding",
              "subject": "player",
              "value": false
            }
          }
        ]
      }```
Something like this?

Mmmm is not working...

[dusk tendon]

Does adding the melee_attack component a second time just break the mob's attacking now?

My mob worked fine a few versions ago

Wait my other mob that does that still works

[misty marten]

why offset in minecraft:projectile doesnt work without a runtime_identifier?

[lofty citrus]

how do I test for a specific block on interact?

for shears it's just shears so I got confused

{ "test": "has_equipment", "subject": "other", "domain": "hand", "value": "stone" }

?

oh yeah it works

can you have 2 interactions?

[eager barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SofbkWIvP4 - I´m just wondering, I love a train. This may be the only train addon that gets real close to what a train should be. My question is, since this is an old abandoned/discontinued addon and several game updates made it not work anymore, is it possible to do an addon like that again in the new version 1.20 or 1.21?

[fringe coyote]

Screw remaking it. Double it and make it better! (Yeah, it's possible to make it. Even more easier than before ig)

[eager barn]

I agree! wow That´s great news! 🥳

i tried editing a villager's behaviors like this but when i go in game it behaves like a normal villager, any idea why?

[wet oxide]

How can I change the position of where the entity launches a projectile?

[eager barn]

So I put a Minecart in - actually my custom model train wagon. Put all files except an animation or animation controller nor a render controller. I get this error: ``` [Molang][error]-vvelha:t_box | | Error: accessing a variable that doesn't currently exist in this entity: variable.rail_offset

[Molang][error]-vvelha:t_box | | Error: unable to find member variable .x

[Molang][error]-vvelha:t_box | | Error: accessing a variable that doesn't currently exist in this entity: variable.rail_rotation```
Any guess? I tried using both minecarts (normal and v.01) from the samples. I mean, my thought says, no need to use render or animation or anim controller since I guess the game uses the default minecart one

[night kraken]

Where do the files define how a TNT minecart instantly explodes? I was taking a look through the behavior pack entity file and there's no lines of code in there detecting if it fell from a high location

[jolly bane]

Can we access scoreboard data in a resource pack

[fading elm]

And how to make the blinking eyes of entity is it animation or texture

[fading elm]

Both

[warm tendon]

You can't directly. You can use entity properties though. Have a timer that constantly runs an event that sets a property to the value of the scoreboard with q.scoreboard. Then query for the property in the resource pack

[fading elm]

I want to check

For scoreboard

In render controls

[warm tendon]

I mentioned the best method on how to do that

[fading elm]

Alright so we can

Thx

Script api

@warm tendon Another question, can I send data directly frim behavior pack to resource pack. Like I have a script that manages the inventory of the entity, I just want to show the block in it

I can do that by putting the uv to 0,0

[warm tendon]

The only way you can send data from a BP to an rp is through properties or dummy components

so when one cow dies another appears and it should say "moo"
I also use

  "minecraft:on_death": {

to get the death event to work, but I'm struggling to get the on_spawned event to work. Any help is appreciated.

Ah ok and is there an alternative to be able to set the size of the items held by my entity?

Maybe you can try playing an animation that would reduce the size of the rightItem bone. I haven't tried it myself though.

So I´ve ben wishing to do a simple back and forth walking loop cycle to some of my npcs!
How can I achieve this in 1.20.81? (no scripting, unless it´s the only way) which json I have to work with? BP - I thought this logic would be simple... like move entity until (coordinate here) then back, then back again (forever)... but it seems when reaching the destination block something has to make it return huh? what could it be? a collision detection? if so, to what? I heard about dummy entity (is that the best way)? I wish there was an example of how that´s done (steps) 😄 thanks

Scripting is most likely the best way, but you could do it with commands too

[eager barn]

ok, anywhere I can learn specificlly about how this can be done with scripting? thanks! oh btw, will scripting also work in 1.20.81?

[wanton venture]

Yea to both

Check this out https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1215499313153581178

[eager barn]

ok I was checking it out and for the screenshot I sent, command blocks might be a faster approach!
just one question though I came from Youtube watching videos on the subject BUT all I saw was teleportation! so the movement is not like the npc will be actually walking it seems...
In java I remember setting up command blocks and the mob actually moving walking above the blocks....
I mean in bedrock will the npc or mob actually move/walk in sliding fashion? cause maybe the videos I saw were just too old (for a very old Bedrock version)

cause I realy am not looking for path finding but just straight path following (although in a back and forth loop, but I´ll make sure the path is clear)

the loop can be in a rectangular form, since straight back and forth is not easily doable because of how the moving blocks are placed under the earth

[wanton venture]

With commands it'll go through blocks like a ghost

[eager barn]

like a ghost? 😄 oh by the way this may be the best option I´ll write

[wanton venture]

Like vexes

[eager barn]

what if I can just make an animation in blockbench of the npc walking back and forth then use that animation in-game as default or idle ? will the game render the walk cycle? much easier

[wanton venture]

Yeah, but that'll be in the client side, may cause some janky behaviors among with removing some features like entity being hurt that you could want to keep

[eager barn]

I see I see... yeah I play by myself always never MP and never server side so this will be great hahaha

[wanton venture]

Nice then

[eager barn]

I actually had done this in BBS studio (a stand alone java pc program) that lets you see your animated models and place blocks to shape a place for them... but I never thought I could achieve the same result in Bedrock.. I just had a light shine on my head.. will see how it goes haha

[wanton venture]

Best of lucks!

[eager barn]

btw you should know this... remember the free 15 year Minecraft anniversary thingy? I downloaded that from the marketplace and boy I saw like lots of cool animations there! they might have just done all that in blockbench like I´m saying huh? cause I hear Mojang uses blockbench as well

[wanton venture]

Yeah, everything in BB

They used a bit of everything

[full bobcat]

How do you define a 3d icon for an item as if it were a block?

[wanton venture]

Screenshotting the block in blockbench and using it as the item texture

Attachable for in-hand render

No render will be shown in item frames, though, just the 2D screenshotted block

[full bobcat]

But if I do that, the texture will be high-resolution, which will make my pack heavy.

[wanton venture]

Yep

Is the only way, unfortunately

[full bobcat]

There's no other way?

Oh sad

Thanks anyway

[wanton venture]

You could use the block as an item tho 🤷‍♂️

What do you want to make it do?

[eager barn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47TtKNsC1jc - wow, this just may be the the best solution so I don´t have to use animation!

too bad the guy does not speak

[wanton venture]

You are using TP, so it will have the vex effect I mentioned

[eager barn]

I thought I saw the dog walk smoothly

[wanton venture]

There were no blocks on the way

If it's a specific pathfinding (not a dynamic one) you can implement a jump function

Static pathfindings are those in a specific position. Dynamic pathfindings are things like "no matter where you are, walk in circles of 360 degrees"

[eager barn]

tbh, the npc won´t be needing a ju... oh you mean this could serve like if I want to make the npc go up and down hills ig

[wanton venture]

yeah

TP is more handy for flat areas

[eager barn]

How can I change resize my own collision box? (player´s)

[ember aspen]

Spawn a "target" invisible entity where you want it to go. Then have your entity target it and go to it. Then when it gets there have the target move to the new spot. The wiki talks about this method
This is limited to about 30 blocks

[eager barn]

yay, after some searching i found what you talked about! thanks: https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-movement.html#navigation-abilities

navigation, preferred_path, and AI goals are all the great stuff... hope al that works in 1.20.81... I´m not updating until I learn scripting and so that will take a very long time til I update the game via the launcher

Can int_property be used to check for Entity properties?

[lofty citrus]

your works are one heck of a treasure pile

do you singlehandedly create your textures?

[ember aspen]

I pay for most the textures from an asset sign I use. Then I modify them to fit my needs.

[lofty citrus]

ahhhh I see

that's wise

hello uhh What filter should I use to chec for minecraft:properties?

tried using int_property

oh you need operators

What ties behavior to an entity? my entity can be summoned, model and texture appears, idle animates, but it doesn't move or do anything

[eager barn]

I created a custom train wagon as a minecart and all works well and I´m very happy BUT the model is always bouncing up and down like a boxing fighter! why? (bwt, all is good withthe BP as it is a clone of the regular minecart) - I tried puting cubes under the wagon so they made contact with the model and rails, but still the bouncing continues.
I even tried using just a cube as the model and it still bounces 😄

[wanton venture]

A button?

[wanton venture]

The behavior pack entity file

[wanton venture]

Add minecart runtime identifier and see if that fixes your issue

[eager barn]

yayy! that fixed it! you´re Da Master! 😎 Thanks! - this just made me want to make some awesome freight train carts!!!!

[wanton venture]

Glad I was able to help!

That's a cool train

[eager barn]

Thanks yeah they are based off real ones. I´ll see to properly scale them down and make sure the aesthetic is Minecraft faithful (to the pixels and stuff).. these models I had made for Craftstudio and had a Hytale like aesthetic, so it needs readjustment - they´ll be part of the free Addon I ammaking for all of us (which a copy is alrady up- in mcepdl) - https://mcpedl.com/terras-capixabas/

[wanton venture]

There are many things in that image that doesn't really looks Minecrafty at all. I have always said that if you want to make your own style using Minecraft, it must be applied to everything

Not sure what yout goal is at all, but it seems like you are making your own style here, I like that

[eager barn]

Agree! yeah 😄 this model I had made for another game, but yeah I´ll be like transforming it to Minecraft style 😄 - I do love the minecraft style and am adhereing to it for all my models

[wanton venture]

Here's a tip: Those tree textures you got there are too realistic for an unit cube... I would fix that by making every tree be at least 3x3 and be bigger overall

[eager barn]

the tree textures you mean? cause they are 16x

[wanton venture]

Yeah

[eager barn]

maybe cause I used likea real texture off an image I got years ago

[wanton venture]

They look real from here lol thats crazy

[eager barn]

here is a closer view as you can see they are still 16x

it´s supposed to be a banana tree

I guess you are like saying that I should cartoon it some more with less colors so it looks more pixelated - (if that´s it) a technique I can use is called color quantization! that will also work - or I can just edit it all throughout and stuff, thanks for the suggestion though

[wanton venture]

That looks really cool anyway I like that style

Looks like a palm, I likey

[eager barn]

glad you like it! feel free to check out my Addon! it comes with the textures and all - https://mcpedl.com/terras-capixabas/

soon I´ll be updating it to include all the advancements - I´ll see to put the Addon also on my website so I don´t have to wait for mcepdl all the time.. sometimes they take days to accept an update - to check out all the models and there are hundreds, use the namespace vvelha - vehicles are not in yet on that version though, but I´ll let you all know when I release.. I am still adjusting several details including substituting spawn eggs for actual profile pictures of npcs for example and there are dozens of new npcs added so..
just so you and everyone knows, my whole take on the game (Minecraft) is a Roblox type town simulation set in the modern era (so 70s til 2000s basically) so there are no monster fights or the like with medeval stuff.. think if it a mix between GTA gameplay and TheSims without the violence 😄

[wanton venture]

Super nice, keep the good work going! 💪

[eager barn]

this more or less shows how it´s at now with plenty of stuff that can be seen

[eager barn]

can I add a stepping sound to my custom minecart? here are my configs but I hear no sound even after a total restart (the ogg is named rail.ogg - here is the sound definitions

            "category": "neutral",
            "sounds": [
                "sounds/rail"
            ]
        },```
and here the sounds.json ```    "vvelha:t_plataforma": {
                "events": {
                    "step": "t_plataforma.step"
                },
                "volume": 15,
                "pitch": [
                    0.9,
                    1.0
                ]
            },```

adjusted the train size! now that it looks just great size-wise, I´ll start editing its texture and geometry since this was actually a 50% downscale in Blockbench... (scaling unfortunately reduces the geometry, so what was 1 pixel becomes 0.5.. so I´ll have to make corrections on both the geo box sizes and texs to match).

[queen plume]

The one with materials, textures, geometry, etc?

[wanton venture]

No

I have a behavior file in the resource pack, but the mob is doing nothing, so was wondering what assciated that file to the mob, is it just the file name, or identifier?

how do i select which bones of a model to show or hide for entities and attachables?

ok, it's part_visibility for entities, but how do i do it for attachables?

[queen plume]

If you find out please let me know lol, trying to make an invisible armor mod

[eager barn]

One last shot so I go to sleep (27 minutes past midnight here) showing 2 optimized wagons (flat car and passenger car) tomorrow I hope to optimize the rest: locomotive, gondola and box car. - gone > 🛌
The 4 optimizations being made on all the freight wagons and the diesel locomotive are:
1- a 50% downscale resize of the previous/old unoptimized models
2- a total model remake with the least blocks possible
3- texture down/resize and proportional edits
4- proportional geometric adjustments.

[pliant oak]

i just game them an animation that sets the scale to 0

[queen plume]

Have you tested it on helmets? 😮 My problem was everything I did still deformed headshape if you had marketplace items on like hats or masks

[pliant oak]

no, it works on held items so it might as well work on helmets

how do I have an entity always look at where it's going?

[eager barn]

guys, is it possible in 1.20.81 to make a custom bed into which I can lay down but not mess with time! just so I can have my player lay there (so i can appreciate the sleeping animation, like we can with villagers)! I wish sleeping in MC were something you chose to skip or not the night (not an auto night skip)

[wanton venture]

You could teleport the player to the bed when interacting with it, play the sleeping animation, put it on a state where moving is impossible, recreate the bed GUI and animations, and that's about it

I don't think there's an easier way to do that, but there might be 🤷‍♂️

[queen plume]

Is there a way to make an entity drop an item when it is hit by a player?
Someone in the commands channel suggested spawning an invisible armor stand, giving it an item, and killing it, but I feel like theres gotta simpler way than that 😭

[kind charm]

You can use scriptapi to detect entity hit then spawn an item

[queen plume]

will that work for market place stuff? I've never done scripting, can that all be done in json

[dark lantern]

hey im having a problem with my dungeon generator entity not running 100% of the time with two events, anyone know what's wrong? The issue applies to east and west, nothing else, which strikes me as odd because it shouldn't be possible

note: this was not a problem until i implemented the animation for a timer

You can also use /loot in a queue command response to the event

If you put the item in the loot table

        "always_show": true
    }
}```
idk if it has go do that i alter the nametag by scripts

do yoh know what´s the issue? the entity has a visible model and a colision box of 1x1 blocks

[gloomy hemlock]

is it your entity visible? i mean, it has a model?

if the entity doesn't have client side, it'll never show the nametag

[halcyon pawn]

yeah

it has

that´s why im so confused to why the name doesnt shows

[dark lantern]

anyone…?

[limpid wave]

Please, can anyone explain how the delay_filter works on spawn_rules?

    "spawn_chance": 20
}``` 

is it: between 600 and 660 seconds of being stationary in a location, there is a 20% chance of spawning the identifier?

[dark lantern]

i think so

how to make a render controller texture override another render controller texture

whilst keeping the other's properties like light_color_multiplier or overlay_color

[ember aspen]

Turn them on and off with a query.

[ember aspen]

Are you sure the BP anim timer is setup right.

[dark lantern]

it’s working for the other 5

and there was no difference in those two specifically that i could see

no content logs either

you can check yourself if you like, the files are posted after all

[ember aspen]

try changing the vars for what does work and make sure the logic is sound

"animate": [
{ "north": "q.property('gen:timer_id') == 1 && q.property('gen:animating')" },
{ "east": "q.property('gen:timer_id') == 2 && q.property('gen:animating')" },
{ "south": "q.property('gen:timer_id') == 3 && q.property('gen:animating')" },
{ "west": "q.property('gen:timer_id') == 4 && q.property('gen:animating')" },
{ "east_straight": "q.property('gen:timer_id') == 5 && q.property('gen:animating')" },
{ "south_straight": "q.property('gen:timer_id') == 6 && q.property('gen:animating')" },
{ "west_straight": "q.property('gen:timer_id') == 7 && q.property('gen:animating')" }```

[dark lantern]

the real kicker is that the two events and timers still work

just not 100% of the time for some reason

[ember aspen]

What do those do?

Are you firing the animation with a command or RP

[dark lantern]

they load a new track for a new room

[dark lantern]

event

im adding properties

[ember aspen]

You can only fire 1 server side aniamtion at an entity at a time. The next 1 fired will stop the previous

[dark lantern]

then why is it not a problem with the other 5?

[ember aspen]

I assume they aren't overlapping

[dark lantern]

ive loaded the structure 15 times

its only those two events

[dark lantern]

if the problem is this it just wouldn’t make sense

[ember aspen]

Not sure, but I'm very confident in this statement about command based animations. Both my Pirate ship and space ships ar limted by this issue. I have have all animations in the RC and only 1 fired by command at a time or they jank. You can see it in my space game when I feed the dog, thats a RC animation fighting a command animation, I can only fire 1 of them at a time

[dark lantern]

even then

only one gets fired per entity

[ember aspen]

hmm

Not sure then. I'd take what works and start replacing what doesn' until it does

I don't see anything oviously wrong

[dark lantern]

so you don’t see any syntax issues?

[ember aspen]

nope, I just skimmed it for basic issues

maybe feed it to the addon checker

I've never used it but maybe it will identify the issue

[dark lantern]

oh god what was the address again 😅

[ember aspen]

https://mctools.dev/

We have a chrome/firefox extension if you forget alot

[dark lantern]

lol

[dark lantern]

“found feature or feature_rules in an add-on, which is not supported”

bruh what how is that an error 💀

[ember aspen]

lol

report it to oss

[dark lantern]

whats the link again 💀

i didn’t stay

lmao

it doesn’t like function files either

doesn’t like structure files either wtf

aaaand now it’s yelling at me for the manifest when there’s nothing wrong with it

ain’t nothing on the stuff that doesn’t work

but everything on the stuff that works

what the hell

it doesn’t like negative numbers for y values either

[dark lantern]

it’s saying there’s a limited radius for tick_world of 6, is this true?

the checker doesn’t show animations

[dark lantern]

which means if there’s an issue with animations

it wont show it

[ember aspen]

https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Entities#minecraft:tick_world

[dark lantern]

i had it set to 128 😅

anyways

its not showing any problems with the events or animation stuff in the entity

and it doesn’t show the animations folder at all

so idk

[ember aspen]

I've never used it so I dont' know

[dark lantern]

i checked the command blocks and theyre all correct

the checker doesn’t like molang strings i see

it doesn’t like my “neck” event in particular which works completely fine

the only difference i saw was that those two timers used two decimal places

[dark lantern]

cyber

can

i

kill Mojang?

the problem was the second decimal place 💀

removed it and it worked flawlessly

[ember aspen]

odd

[dark lantern]

the only other possibility is that the time between the timeline and the end of the animation was less than what it was for the rest

[ember aspen]

yeha but I check it, it should have been fine

[dark lantern]

well

clearly it isn’t lol

guess its a bit of an odd bug then

found an issue with one of my command blocks

how has the structure even loaded

[fleet void]

[quiet ore]

How possible is it to make a clone of a minecart that is effectively just a retexture with the speed increased 4x?

But also is a different type of minecart?

I got it to work and turn on rails, but it won't angle when going up inclines and seems to always drop a regular minecart when broken, even if I set a different loot table.

To get it to turn I had to make my own animation because the variables from the vanilla minecart animation are not available even when using the runtime identifier.

*looks like to get a custom minecart to actually work fully you have to override one of the vanilla minecart

[crystal spire]

how to make it so when an entity uses a melee atack on a player it plays an animation ( i want my frog to use the eat animation when it meele attacks)

[ember aspen]

Can you edit player?

[quiet ore]

Yes, but it's generally a bad idea because it causes conflicts with other add ons

Is it possible to use the guardian's laser without the guardian runtime identifier?

[tepid hedge]

Does anyone know if it is possible to have more than 1 timer in an entity?

[ember aspen]

no, you can only have 1 on at a time. Use BP AC instead

[tepid hedge]

OK thanks

[crystal spire]

Success

now how to make an entity play a sound when it attacks...
success, how i did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S8znMQwkEs

[crystal spire]

interestingly, frogs wont try to eat players (even when set as attackable target)

[reef oyster]

how do I have an entity attack other entities using a dynamic tag? anti{player} example: antiAustindounut

[spring root]

you can animate npcs in the npc dialogue chat box window, but can you play particles in the dialogue as well? i cant seem to get them to work

[ember aspen]

Are you firing a /particle command?

[spring root]

first i tried that, then i tried via an animation with an effect and locator etc, both not workin, only shows in the world, not in the dialogue box

[ember aspen]

oh, yeah it wont.

particle layer is behind the ui layer

This is a massive bummer for my space game

[spring root]

[ember aspen]

As everything I'm doing is on the player head so I can't put particles inside my locations

Have you seen it I use NPC menus alot

[spring root]

i have not

[ember aspen]

You're in for a ride
https://youtu.be/4ZXgSa0YXfY

[spring root]

holy balls

[ember aspen]

about 75% in a show the inside of the space stations. Those are on the players head.

I wanted to show fog and lighting in those and in the ships but I can't get the particles to show on that layer

[spring root]

thats pretty rediculous nice work xD

[ember aspen]

thanks, I think it's just the start. IMO most people are using <%5 of bedrock engine ability

I hope to show more what it can do in the space game

[strong sleet]

hello, was just curious if anyone could help me, as this seems to be a small issue. all the animations for my entity work except for the attack animation, which refuses to play during the delayed attack animation (i.e. my entity just stands still for attack). any ideas? ill post the images.

also im using bridge v2

[rain egret]

And where is the target?

[strong sleet]

Right here good sir. and thanks for answering

[strong sleet]

Message above, sorry forgot to hit reply button.

[pliant oak]

can we disable the spawn egg of an entity?

custom entity

[ember aspen]

disable spawnable in BP entity

[pliant oak]

thank you

[frigid charm]

I want to make the zombie attack the block (there is an entity that the zombie attacks inside this block)
But he just stares at the block if another one is on top and if there is nothing on top he hits the block first but then climbs on top of it and can't hit it anymore

[pliant oak]

how to get read of the "property doesn't have a valid actor" error message?

it happens when i give properties to the player file

if throws when i join the world, and open the pause menu

[pliant oak]

it also comes up when i load any custom skin on the screen

original is the name of my skin

[untold viper]

Is there a way to make item not pickable?

oh ig i need a dummy entity

[pliant oak]

you can load a structure with an item with a really long pickup time

[flat marten]

I gave an entity can_climb but it still can't climb out of a hole with the ladders i've placed 😮

[ivory willow]

does anyone know how to go about removing an entity from the players shoulder? I'm using the rideable component in the player.json to add my custom entity to ride on the players shoulder but when I sneak or jump its impossible for it to get off? I looked through the parrots json file and tried copying over the component groups there but that didn't work either

[ember aspen]

/ride

or tp it off on jump sneak

you could also use a item or many other ways

[fervent moat]

Hey, I haven't been following entity news in a while. Are entity event still ok? They aren't in experimental right?

[kind charm]

Entity events are ok yes

[fervent moat]

thx

[misty marten]

How can I stop the default damage animation on my entity? My entity twists when receiving damage

[ivory willow]

thank you sm! sorry for all the questions, how do I use commands within a json file? I can't see how this works on the wiki or do you have to do another way?

[ember aspen]

in an event with queue_command

[ivory willow]

ah amazing thank you!

[reef oyster]

how do I have entities use ranged weapons? if it has bow and arrow or a crossbow and firework it can fire the correct projectile.

[unborn pier]

How to detect that the player has no items in his hands?

Detect main hand and off hand

[warm tendon]

You can use "!query.is_item_equipped(0) && !query.is_item_equipped(1)". The 0 checks the main hand, the 1 checks the offhand

[wanton venture]

How can I make an entity stay in the same position always?

Not fall specifically

[warm tendon]

There's probably a better way performance wise, but what I've always done is have it spawn another entity in its spawn location, and always teleport to the closest one of that entity using an animation

[wanton venture]

oof

I would love to have a component or sum

[ember aspen]

You just have to develop it out. Check the wiki on projectilies

[ember aspen]

check for air

[ember aspen]

Remove gravity, add knockback protection, remove movement

[wanton venture]

Thank you!!

[unborn pier]

@ember aspen Sorry to bother,I would like to ask if it is possible to give the player a custom button that allows the player to perform a specific action such as a back flip or a side jump or a lie down when the player presses the button?

[ember aspen]

Not a custom button. You can use a combo or query yes with a RP AC.

[strong sleet]

hello all, sorry to interrupt, but i had an urgent post in entities https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1259313975309504542 that I was hoping someone could answer? involves scale and collision boxes. I feel like its a quick fix, but I've been stuck on it for days. and it does impact the future of my addon bosses if it doesn't work. could anyone help a brother out real quick? very frustrated atm.

please let me know if this is bad etiquette here. I'm not trying to be rude, im just very desperate.

[crystal spire]

Omg making custom entities takes SO lomg 😢

[strong sleet]

Listen man, I apologize if I’m being too pushy/over dramatic, I get it. just newer to this, and trying to make sure my question isn’t ignored. Couldn’t find any documentation on this issue even though I looked in multiple websites and servers, and it frustrated me. But you don’t have to mock me.

[crystal spire]

I wasnt talking about You dude

[strong sleet]

Oh, sorry about that man.

My bad lol.

[crystal spire]

What if You make a different, bigger entity, with bigger hitbox, and change from one eintity to the other when the scaling up animation ends?

It's a workaround

I don't know how You would change from one eintity to the other, but maybe its a start?

Or make a component group for the hitbox before the scaling up and one after the scaling up and add/remove the components accordingly

That second idea sounds more doable

[strong sleet]

I’ve done something similar, but I’ll for sure give it a try. Sorry again about the misunderstanding. 😅

[strong sleet]

^

Thanks for getting back to me.

[molten sapphire]

Hello brothers, I need help.

[ember aspen]

This is a horrible way to do it.

Simply use CGs and events.

[unborn pier]

what combo? Is it possible to press the back button and the jump button at the same time to trigger a backflip?

[reef oyster]

you probably did something wrong with the render controller, are all your files named correctly?

[covert canopy]

Hey, someone already helped me but thank you, I didnt put the render_controller at RP/entity

I forgot to put the "controller.render.default"

[reef oyster]

oh

[covert canopy]

:'v I thought I needed to make a render_controller also, idk what this is yet but I'll take a look

[ember aspen]

There are more than 20 combos. You can use anything you can detect. Queries, filters...

[unborn pier]

I want a player's action to trigger an Steve action in the game.

Is it possible to detect pressing the back key and jumping at the same time?

[ember aspen]

nicee

[ember aspen]

Yep. Detect movement direction.

[unborn pier]

Detect moving backwards and detect jumping?

How to Detect Jumping

[ember aspen]

!Query is on ground

[unborn pier]

That sound good, thank you!

[unborn pier]

Can I customize an on/off button so that when the player presses the on switch, the player enters a specific state in which the player backs up and jumps to trigger a specific action?

And I can detect that the player has entered that particular state.

[covert canopy]

Is it molang or scripts using javascript ?

[ember aspen]

molang

[wanton venture]

Why are my bones not being hidden when minecraft:variant is 1?

"part_visibility": [
                { "leaves_1": "!(query.variant == 1 || query.variant == 2 || query.variant == 3)" },
                { "leaves_2": "!(query.variant == 2 || query.variant == 1 || query.variant == 3)" },
                { "leaves_3": "!(query.variant == 3 || query.variant == 1 || query.variant == 2)" }
            ]

[ember aspen]

add *

leaves_1*

Why is it !(....

[wanton venture]

idk I started messing with conditions to see if I could fix it

[ember aspen]

query.v == 1 && query != 2 && query !=3

query.v == 1 || !query == 2 && !query == 3

but Id just do query.v== 1

you shouldnt need others

[wanton venture]

What I want to do is hide leaves_1 if q variant is either 1, 2 or 3

Added the wildcard, nothing still

And yes the rc is deffo connected because I put * to false and it was invisible

Not even setting a bone to false is doing anything

wtf

[ember aspen]

are the bone names correct?

Show the geo

[ember aspen]

lol

you're silly

the entire point of the * wildcard is to include all the subbones. You need to name all subbones leaves_1_bone18...

leaves_1_bones19...

Only cubes in the named bones are hidden NOT all subbones unless they include the wildcarded word

[wanton venture]

what a trashy system

[ember aspen]

You don't want subbones to be included

Thats why we have wildcards

[wanton venture]

I want it so, if variant is 1, 2 or 3, all subbones in leaves_1 should be hidden

[ember aspen]

If you setup your project with a material template. You can simply name the boen _glass, _colored, _hidden_v1... _hidden_v2...

[ember aspen]

So simply name all subbones with the word you're using to filter them

in this case leaves_1

[wanton venture]

setting leaves_1 to false is doing nothing

That's what I am trying to explain here

[ember aspen]

because teh subbones aren't named right

[wanton venture]

Why do I have to call every bone

[ember aspen]

What cubes are in leaves_1 isn't hidding

[ember aspen]

because it's a bone hidding system

[wanton venture]

No cubes in leaves_1

[ember aspen]

yep

so nothing would be hidden

[wanton venture]

Can't the game understand that if I hide a bone, everything in that bone should be hidden

Isn't that clear enough, bro

[ember aspen]

why are youmaking this so hard. Just change bone18 to leaves_1_bone18

[wanton venture]

some systems drive me crazy

[ember aspen]

that would ruin the feature

[wanton venture]

because I have to define like 30 bones

[ember aspen]

Then you'd have to unhidden all the subbones by name

that way worse

If you setup your geo projects in a standard naming this is rare an issue.

But yes if you want to toggle lots of bones on/off you need to name them all correctly

[wanton venture]

Okay thanks

I'll give that a shot now

[reef oyster]

can I change how armor is rendered on a custom entity?

[wanton venture]

yup, just create new attachables and models

[reef oyster]

how do I hide a chest piece if an entity is wearing a chestplate

[molten sapphire]

Rendering controller.

[molten sapphire]

There are many ways to do it depending on your ingenuity and your current architecture.

[reef oyster]

what query or something like that do I have to check so a cloak gets hidden?

[molten sapphire]

Here is the syntax to hide parts based on a molang query:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/animationsreference/examples/animationrendercontroller?view=minecraft-bedrock-experimental

[molten sapphire]

There are alternative methods such as geometry transmutation, variants, etc. But it's engineering.

[untold gyro]

this was probably asked before but I can't seem to find it; does anyone know how to spawn items when an entity is throw? how would I make a snowball that spawns a snowball item where its been thrown

Im using the snowball as a reference but Im personally trying to get a rock to spawn shards when its thrown at a hard surface

[glossy walrus]

Not true actually, there are 4x that you can use at the same time!

There is a method to the madness, if you have ever looked at the sniffer behaviors you'll notice there are timer flag components.

You can use 3x of those, each has its own dedicated query too which is nice.
**
query.timer_flag_1
query.timer_flag_2
query.timer_flag_3**

4. Does not have a query!

And the default normal timer too.

I try staying away from behavior animation timers because on sometimes these either skip frames or dont even load on some os's for some reason... So, I try avoiding those when possible.

[eager barn]

Friends, this may be too darn easy for most of you! I have a cutsie hoping frog (sapo in portuguese) I made, so happy about it - but the poor little thing when he is about to hop back to base, he moon hops 😄 - can anyone see the animation for me in blockbench to pinpoint the nasty bug? thanks a lotsie -
I mean in blockbench it´s all fine but in bedrock it moon hops, meaning it does not turn its body (root) like it does in Blockbench

[wanton venture]

You may want to show a video of the animation issue in game and in blockbench

[eager barn]

you´re right it makes no sense to send a good file when you can´t see the issue in the game 😄 - silly me 9although i did describe the problem... I have a funny feeling it might have to do with the linear interpolation - although I changed to smooth and the problem persisted so. maybe no...

[eager barn]

here

[crystal spire]

i forgot how to do this sht, can someone remind me what i need to do to make the animations be used?

they are referenced in animation the animation controller

[warm tendon]

Add json "scripts":{ "animate":[ "general" ] }

to your file

this will tell it to play the animation controller

[ember aspen]

Just like an animation but you call the AC. Then you call the animation in the AC

[wanton venture]

Let's say I have 5 items to spawn an entity. Would it be possible for me to detect with which one it was summoned to then add a component group?

[ember aspen]

on the spawn /Summon command use the cg flag to select which CG to use.

[midnight egret]

what does additional_slots_per_strength in invertory do

[crystal spire]

oh yeah that was it lol, i forgor, thnxs

[wanton venture]

How can I make this work?

"on_interact": {
                            "filters": {
                                "test": "has_equipment",
                                "subject": "other",
                                "domain": "hand",
                                "value": "minecraft:air"

                            "target": "self"
                        }

Run event when player interacts with empty hand

[wanton venture]

This works:

{
                        "on_interact": {
                            "filters": {
                                "test": "all_slots_empty",
                                "subject": "other",
                                "domain": "hand"
                            },
                            "event": "kai:test_pickup",
                            "target": "self"

                    }

[last chasm]

Hello there, is it possible to have multiple projectile component group in the same file ?

[ember aspen]

I don't see why not, try it. Only 1 can be on at a time I assume

[last chasm]

Here is my file but it's only working when I spawn the projectile with an egg. When spawning with an item it's just floating in the air as well when spawning with a slash command

[loud hatch]

Howdy,
I have added a custom entity and animated it in blockbench. The animation controller was added through blockbench. The animation works as its supposed to, changing from idle to move, except for the legs which do not work.? Lost.

[untold viper]

scripting is the only way ig(at least it's the easiest) if you want it for all entities in general

[reef oyster]

I need help, I want an entity to know who is an enemy and who is an ally, they are meant for a multiplayer server that has wars so they need to accommodate multiple sides and players.

[lapis steeple]

Does anyone knows how can i make a working chair? I rlly wanna know lol

[ember aspen]

Entity or block.

[lapis steeple]

Entity

[wanton venture]

Can I check if an entity is on a specific block to trigger something?

found!

[ember aspen]

Simply use riding/rideable then. Check the wiki or ms docs for the component info. You can look at the vanilla BP for examples

[ember aspen]

This is really basic so I don't have guides on it. Not really much to guide. Add the component. When riding have player play riding animations.

[lapis steeple]

Okay, i will try it, THX!

[crystal spire]

Wth is wrong with My freaking rat

I Will make a it into a question as to not flood this chat with code

[ember aspen]

lol

[gloomy hemlock]

lol

[crystal spire]

sorry i took too long to post the code and video of the entity in blockbench, i was having dinner

[supple ermine]

Hello I'm having an issue with the multitexture material / I don't understand why there is only 2 array possible.
Does some one have an idea to get more array available with the material.json ?
I tried to modify the material by changing the index to 7 but the render controller play only the 2 first entries

• I've made several other try.

[ember aspen]

https://youtu.be/Akzq3_AbP30

[ember aspen]

Your pivots are messed up.

[supple ermine]

ty but this is not what I looking for. This video just add a texture on a visible part added with an array geo

I looking for how to overpass this limit of 2 array by managing the multitexture component in the material.json

[ember aspen]

There is no 2 array limit. I don't know what you're talking about

Multitexture in my understanding is to stack texture

[supple ermine]

if you have time would you be able to help ? I can do a stream in private in order to not spam here. will be quick

[ember aspen]

Sorry I can't help 1 on 1. I can help here though.

To give you an idea. My space game player has 58 RC's

[supple ermine]

render array

"textures": [
"Array.base[v.base]",
"Array.jacket[v.jacket]",
"Array.hair[v.hair]",
"Array.glasses[v.glasses]",
"Array.weapon[v.weapon]",
"Array.pants[v.pants]",
"Array.boots[v.boots]"
]

rp/entity

            "initialize": [
                "v.base = math.random_integer(0, 2);",
                "v.hair= math.random_integer(0, 7);",
                "v.glasses = math.random_integer(0, 7);",
                "v.weapon = math.random_integer(0, 4);",
                "v.jacket = math.random_integer(0, 7);",
                "v.pants = math.random_integer(0, 5);",
                "v.boots = math.random_integer(0, 2)+math.random_integer(0, 1);",
                "v.ticking_delay = math.random(0.3, 0.6);"
            ]

and the vanilla material (entity_multitexture_alpha_test) play only the 2 first entry in the rendercontroller

[crystal spire]

how so? the animations look right on bb

[ember aspen]

Looks like to me you are using the wrong geo for the animations. or changed the pivots after you made some aniamtions. Or are applying to animations at once and 1 isn't right for that geo

[ember aspen]

You keep thinking multi texture means more than 1 texture in arrays!! IT DOES NOT!
It means more than 2 textures applied to 1 cube/bone at the same time!

STOP using multitexture!

If you need to apply a different material per texture you add a material array

[reef oyster]

how do I have an entity ignore other entities/players with a tag but attack those without the tag and have the tag share a name with the "owner"

[crude gust]

Any ideas why my entity can't jump up a block? Like other mobs do (e.g. zombies, they follow you and can auto-jump a block).
I have the following components setup:

"minecraft:collision_box": {
                "width": 0.7,
                "height": 0.7
            },
"minecraft:movement.amphibious": {
                "max_turn": 20
            },
            "minecraft:buoyant": {
                "apply_gravity": true,
                "base_buoyancy": 0.4,

                "liquid_blocks": [
                    "water"
                ]
            },
            "minecraft:movement": {
                "value": 0.25
            },
            "minecraft:underwater_movement": {
                "value": 0.05

            },
            "minecraft:jump.static": {},
            "minecraft:can_jump": {},

[ember aspen]

filters is what I'd try

[reef oyster]

what filter will help tho, I can't just have a static tag that it targets or ignores

[ember aspen]

try to filter those condictions in the damage controller. Then sync up the player and damage controllers.

[hybrid bough]

are the causes different from the has_damage strings in the damage sensor

it looks like entity_attack works for cause but not attack, but its the other way around for has_damage

(It looks like the Blockception schema also erroneously uses the list of strings for both the cause and has_damage properties as well(

[reef oyster]

what did I do wrong

[ember aspen]

Did you check ontent logs?

[reef oyster]

yes somhow the defult texture is missing and I don't know how

[ember aspen]

show your entity file

[crystal spire]

Why are these little freakers jumping on the dirth path

Also they are still always making the walking animation, its the only animation they have but they should only do it when q.movement_speed is "true" or "valid"

i made my animation controller like this because is saw someone had a similar problem of their entity playing all animations always and they said they fixed it like this```js
{
"format_version": "1.10.0",
"animation_controllers": {
"controller.animation.rat.general": {
"initial_state": "idle",
"states": {
"idle": {
"transitions": [
{"walking": "q.ground_speed"}
],
"blend_transition": 0.2
},
"walking": {
"animations": ["walk"],
"transitions": [
{"idle": "!q.ground_speed"}
],
"blend_transition": 0.2
}
}
}
}
}

Looks like it's there to me, maybe don't use default in the other name too

[reef oyster]

nothing changed 😦

[ember aspen]

Could you change this to something more basic and see if that fixes it. Or better yet only have the default with no array and make sure it works, then add the array and others in

try making array not Array

for both. case does matter in alot of places

[reef oyster]

I removed " + query.is_charged * 2" and it worked in a way.

[eager barn]

When you guys have made a skin in blockbench and have turned it into an NPC entity in Bedrock, have you noticed that the seating is off? well for me if I sit for example on a car that can pull in entities, I sit fine, but my NPCs have their head above the roof: their passenger seat is higher than the player even though the height number is the same for both npcs and player.
My common sense tells me I should position the global body pivot for all the npcs to the default Minecraft one. Problem is, I don´t know what height number that is.... has anyone solved this? I´m not even sure if moving the pivot is the answer

here we can see the global root pivot is on the feet... maybe it´s gotta be in the middle of the body?! nonetheless I´ll do a check here

[ember aspen]

Check the collision box size

those matter most

You can use the plugin for sitting/riding to get the right positions.
Or on riding simply have the car scale them down a little or have the entiity scale it's self down on riding

[eager barn]

great advices! thanks 🙂

[forest pasture]

hello everyone, I'm working on a rideable entity. What does the minecraft:push_through component does? I've been changing it and I can't get a grasp of it purely through testing

[eager barn]

as you can see, I mean the seats are ok like the passengers seat in the right places. The only problem I am having is with the height. As you can see all seat heights are the same, that´s why I was wondering it if was the pivot, but I changed the pivot and still nothing happened... I also changed the height for the collision but that did nothing.... the other things you said I do not know how to do in the json... so... so far I´ll leave it like this

[ember aspen]

Animations are fake. Client side. The collsion boxes matter

You can add family queries to the positions to off set them I beleive if you must. See the vanilla rideable entities

[lime reef]

any idea what could be causing this?

"test:entity_emissive": {
        "+states": ["DisableDepthWrite"],
        "+defines": ["USE_EMISSIVE"],
        "-states": ["DisableCulling"],
        "depthFunc": "Always"
      },

[ember aspen]

Are you disabling the depth write then setting depth func to always?

I know nothing about materials but that doesnt' seem logical

Why are you editing materials anyways. In 5 years I'm only found 2 reasons to do that.

[dawn coyote]

hi there, do someone if using the minecraft:inventory is some way to filter what kind of items can be stored within the entity?
or is there any sensor that can test for item type and the nexecute some event?

[ember aspen]

BP AC with queries

commands with filters

[forest pasture]

Is there a component that allows or eliminates the ability for an entity to walk out of a water surface when it has a rider? Like the horse does? So far the entity's behaviour on water works like a boat

[crude gust]

I guess, you can do it via environment sensor and events with component groups. Test if is_in_water and call an event that adds group with minecraft:behavior.move_to_land.

[reef oyster]

how do I give an entity a tag named after a player and how do I make it attack entities with an enemy tag but not entities with the playername tag?

[crude gust]

In "minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target" you can set filters has_tag, if I remember.

I assume, other things with tags can be done via scripting

[forest pasture]

Thank you, I ended up solving it by modifying the liqud y offset to a smaller number and that let me do it

[eager barn]

what vanilla entity could come close to a beach crab behavior?

[lapis steeple]

Anyone knows how can i low the speed of an entity animation? When i test them in game they are played with 100% speed lol (it's an armor stand)

[molten sapphire]

How have you currently implemented locators in the entity?

"locators": {
  "lead": { "head": [0, 14, -6] }
}

[ember aspen]

Blockbench has a retiming options or you can run some math code in anim_time to do it.

I'd have to look up the code

[ember aspen]

In the geo using blockbench

wiki and MSDocs and blockbench.net wiki all explain how

[molten sapphire]

I know. I already located it. Now I need to experiment, I'm documenting.

[eager barn]

So I noticed my animations are twisted awkward (wrong rotations and such). I am suspecting Bedrock only accepts bedrock legacy models in order for the animations to play right on the entity´s limbs?

[lime reef]

i have to since the objective is to see the entity trough the walls

[solar tendon]

im working on a NA train/railroad mod and i want to create custom, smooth track that have good turns and switches. i play on hive and noticed how their train runs. how does this work? is it using something like preferred_path?

any animation rules/guideline out there? in blockbench the animation plays as intended, but not in Bedrock, problems on body and limb rotations for example and I´d like to make sure about naming and hierarquy - is there a need for a root bone, does it have to be called root? those type of things

[ember aspen]

Empty glyph

[ember aspen]

Most of this is up to you.

but yes root is needed.
I have some guides on animations you could watch.

great! I´ll take a look on the YT channel 🙂

[marble dust]

I’m trying to add a new animation to the zombie but no matter what I try, the animation doesn’t show on Minecraft bedrock.

Here is the animation controller and the animation file:

[ember aspen]

did you check your content logs?

[marble dust]

Yes

[marble dust]

Yes

[ember aspen]

Load this in blockbench and show all the animations on the time line and if there are any errors listed in bb

[eager barn]

I found my issue after burning some neurons here and doing anim tests on a cube... turns out it was the anim controller querying is alive that was doubling the math on the animations...
so for example if in an anim I had a cube rotated 45 degrees, in-game it would be 90 degrees... so removing query is alive fixed it.
Also I was able to fix my frog rotation when I just did the following: switched LeftArm to left_arm and so on on the other body parts.
bedrock is a finnicky monster 😄

[ember aspen]

Great news. You got this

[marble dust]

Here are some screenshots and yeah, there are no errors.

Also, I’m on mobile but I do have a slight clue into making bedrock resource packs.

[ember aspen]

sorry for the animations

not AC

[marble dust]

Here, for each arm as well
Left arm

Right arm

Also I can see the warning on the screenshot you sent, may I have a look?

[ember aspen]

We need to see the timeline

[ember aspen]

You shouldn't have any warnings at all

Smooth frames MUST ALWAYS be surrounded by linear!

[marble dust]

Oh

Alright let me fix that

[ember aspen]

and I beleieve it's always -this never this

however, I could be wrong

[marble dust]

How about this?

[ember aspen]

yep and at the end too

[marble dust]

Already did that a while ago

Still doesn’t work. Probably need to check the entity files…

[ember aspen]

Can you play the animation with a command

[marble dust]

Not sure how to do that. And even so, I can really seem to find the command.

[marble dust]

Nvm got it to wrong. But the arms are raised for zombies.

Using player model as an example but it’s quite high. Maybe it’s a bedrock thing.

Also should clarify that I’m making a sort of patcher for another resource with the consent of the creator.

[ember aspen]

player model?

Animations are NOT interchangable with mobs in 99% of cases

[marble dust]

True but this is for the zombie.

Problably need to lower the arm on blockbench.

[ember aspen]

Using player model as an example What does this mean

[marble dust]

Fixed it now but what I mean is the player model (me btw) is what it supposed to look like

[marble dust]

Well now what? The animation works fine but it’s not viewable on the zombies.

Hi can I ask how to edit skin and geometry in persona without using iobit application

[ember aspen]

Cant. They are protected.

[last chasm]

Hello, I have a custom projectile with multiple component group. When spawning it with an egg everything is working. However, when I try to summon it with command or via script the projectile is summoned but it immobile and dont seem to have a component group.

Here is my code

[ember aspen]

You have to use the right Events.

[last chasm]

minecraft:entity_spawned doesn't support summoning with / command ?

[ember aspen]

    "minecraft:spawn_entity": {
        "entities": [
            {
                "spawn_method": "born",
                "spawn_entity": "minecraft:ender_dragon"
            }
        ]
    }
}```

[last chasm]

there is no other way than using this component ?

[ember aspen]

why does there need to be. This works fine.

Just copy the stuff in entity spawn event to entity born event.

[last chasm]

because I will have two entities

[ember aspen]

?

Just use events and commands

why are you messing around with that crap

queue_command in events and spawn all the stuff you want

or use a BP AC

[wanton venture]

Is it possible to make an entity unable to spawn in a range from another of its own?

[ember aspen]

In the spawn rules yes

[wanton venture]

Can you show me an example of one that does this please?

Currently, they generate with "low" chances, but nothing stop my entity to spawn next to another

[kind charm]

You could just check for entity spawn, get surrounding entities, the remove it if its too close

[wanton venture]

Oh right, thanks!

[lofty citrus]

hey is collision box still present in 1.20 format?

I can't find in in microsoft docs in entity

how do I make an entity disable it's hitbox?

[iron swift]

custom_hit_test doesn't rotate with the entity?

[kind charm]

It does not

[iron swift]

is there an alternative?

[ember aspen]

We really really need a collision, hitbox update, shadows

[fading elm]

But iobit didn't work well in my pc

[ember aspen]

Using iobit to decompile Bins is a violation of TOS and a crime in most counties. It's very clearly stated in the agreement you signed for Xbox, and Minecraft Bedrock.

[fading elm]

You mean it's illegal ?

[ember aspen]

Yep in most countries

[tropic plaza]

is there a way to run on death components or in game commands when a entity dies

[ember aspen]

Its really important in game dev you don't ask despawn/dead things questions. So trying to query an entity when it dies isn't a good idea.

You will get a random result

There are a few options around this. Depending on your use case and what you need to do

[ember aspen]

1. is JS
2. is a fake death system
3. is a fake health system
4. is a no death system
   5)....

[lofty citrus]

hey uh how do I disable entity culling?

I have this gigantic entity that disappears without even being completely out of vision

[harsh fern]

uhhh my entity is apparently broken

[ember aspen]

cant sadly. Just have to work around it

[ember aspen]

Check content logs. Show code or images.

[harsh fern]

in bridge it says "Property namespace:component_group_name is not allowed." whenever i try to add or remove a component group using events

[lofty citrus]

oh....
How would you create a barrier?

My first was a giant entity with no hitbox and you are inside the entity serving as the barrier

visually

you know kind of like this

[harsh fern]

tryna make something similar to the silverfish ai angry calm thingy

[lofty citrus]

what's the problem though??

component not being removed?

[harsh fern]

it says its wrong idk

[lofty citrus]

send entire json here

[harsh fern]

well i have a bigger problem than that, i cant even see the entity

[lofty citrus]

lol

you gott debug it from the top then

[harsh fern]

i have no clue if my code even works, just testing bc i cant get much help with behavior

[harsh fern]

ive been looking for like 1h 30m, everything is fine

[lofty citrus]

open a thread then

[harsh fern]

no thanks

i have to fix the invisibility tho..

[lofty citrus]

can you spawn it?

[harsh fern]

completly invis, no shadow and the spawn egg is invisible too

[lofty citrus]

no texture?

[harsh fern]

yeah but i just hear it suffocating

[harsh fern]

nope

[lofty citrus]

that's on the RP side then

no logs?

[harsh fern]

ive been looking

hold on

[lofty citrus]

hey people is selection box present in entities?

@ember aspen
sorry for the ping but your probably the only I know I could ask for this,
is it possible to have collision box but disable the hitbox? so that I can't hit the entity.

[ember aspen]

Sure. but you should instead modify the damage sensor to filter out what you don't want to hit it. Vs messing with collision.

Collisinos keep you in the world and on things.

Damage sensors detect attacks...

[lofty citrus]

how would you filter out everything?

oh lol

Im already looking at it

thanks cyberAxe

    }

This isn't a great example

but see how you can setup filters for stuff or say deal_damage false

change it to deals_damage false for cause entity_attack...

that should be it

you can also turn off any
or just one cause.. or list them in an array. Up to you

[lofty citrus]

yep thanks

[harsh fern]

ok i can see it now but it still just suffocates to death for some reason

[lunar lynx]

anyone help me in https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1263315376536813608

[fading elm]

So how can I make my own customized geometric/texture skin ? Is there's a way ?? Thank you

[ember aspen]

What do you mean

[fading elm]

I mean I just want to have my player a custom geometry like something for example a sheft cap on my head or something like a farmer cap or I want to add 3d nose ear and fingers for my hands

[wanton venture]

Can we make a mob steal an item from the player inventory?

[ember aspen]

commands

[wanton venture]

Are there no components for that?

oof

[ember aspen]

Why not use JS

[wanton venture]

Because if there was no need to reinvent the wheel I wouldn't lol

[ember aspen]

Oh my, using JS is like reinventing the wheel. But I'm told daily its as easy as doing Component. Compoent Group, Events..

[harsh fern]

ok it just doesnt move, nothings working i give up

[night kraken]

Is it possible to make solid entity hitboxes that players/other entities collide with?

[ember aspen]

Yes but there is a cost to it

[night kraken]

What's that

[ember aspen]

The player when they have stackable on then pushes all entities aroun and collisdes with lots of stuff.

Other entities will also push it around then.

So say you have a table for example and you want the player to be able to stand on it. When they get close to it they will push it around too.

it's a pain. Some people put barrier blocks in side the table to stop this instead...

Most of my furniture is stack able, you can see it in DF and other places.
But I moved more and move away from adding stackable to player because of side effects

[night kraken]

Could I have the entity manipulate a block with a custom hitbox?

[ember aspen]

I'm not sure what you mean by this

[night kraken]

Have the entity create a custom block at its position (in my case, it doesn't move) and use the block's hitbox to allow collisions

            },
            "deals_damage": false
        }
    ]
},

Why will this cancel hits with spawn tag but not cpslimit tag?

Also tried putting the cpslimit test in the "any_of" filter on the first one

[night kraken]

If the entity itself (not the damager) has the tag cpslimit then it should prevent it

[loud sable]

well I have a way to add the tag and remove it

but the tag itself doesn't cancel damage

just tested, the spawn tag does cancel it

if both have the tag

wait why is it "other" that makes it work

weird

[eager barn]

I have night time animals (frog/firefly/moth) that I´d like to only be visible and sound at night!
My idea is to switch to a fully transparent texture (invisible) and back depending on the brightness value.
There is a logic in place in the behavior json but what it does is totally despawn the animal... (when the next night comes they are not there because they have been destroyed/despawned)
so is this possible without js? I mean to change the despawn to change texture instead?
Unless they could auto-respawn at same location they were at when manually placed

[ember aspen]

yes

[eager barn]

Hey Cyber! when I have a chance (a bit of time) I´d like to invite you to come visit my exotic, ever growing and much different world!

[ember aspen]

Sure. I'd love to see it. I'm swamped in projects right now in prep for a offgrid vaction starting thursday. But when I get back would be a great time for it.

[ember aspen]

I love the palm trees. Those are epic. Super jelly

[reef oyster]

why it not attack?

[fading elm]

What addon are the palm tree brother can you share it if you don't mind thank you

[eager barn]

it´s here in the showcase channel! all the help I get here in the forum from Cyber, Smokey and anyone else goes into it: https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1260004037437165589 - so when they help me they are helping this super huge addon (with over 400 models and more coming) get better for all of us! 🥳

[dawn coyote]

not sure if you found a way to do that, but I have something similar with APIs + entity animations, basically I could set different hit attacks with the entity and based on the attack it can generate different damages, effects, etc... so you can create something similar to define the hit attack instead add damage to steal a random item from inventory and add to this inventory

[wanton venture]

Good thinking! Yes I was thinking to do my own system, I'll see what to do. Thank you!

[unborn pier]

How do I make the player's head controlled by the player's perspective?

[iron swift]

how can i make both animated texture with transparent?

@proud wharf sorry for ping but i remember u're the best dev when it comes to material

{
    "materials":{
        "version":"1.0.0",
        "custom_animated:entity":{
            "+defines":[
                "USE_UV_ANIM"
            ]
        }
    }
}

i have the animated texture working but cant get it to support transparent

[proud wharf]

custom_animated:entity_alphablend

[iron swift]

i realize i could just use player animated

since it supports both animated texture and transparency

[ember aspen]

Or assign only the bones which need those materials those materials. This is the most performant way to do it. Materials are costly don't assign them to the entire model.

[proud wharf]

Actually that would be even more costly. Materials are rendered in one draw call, if you had different materials on the model, each would take a single draw call, while if it is the same uniform material, the entire entity can be rendered in one draw call. Bones also matter, only 8 bones at a time can be rendered with a drawcall, but the number of elements in a bone doesn't matter.

[ember aspen]

The cost of the material for blend, additive and others seems higher in my test by alot.

Even more so on massive HD models. but good to know.

[proud wharf]

It is higher yeah, but it's even worse if you mix and match different materials on the entity.

[ember aspen]

Do you have any testing to show this I can see

Also for custom blocks with custom geos I'd love to see too (ie different material per face)

[proud wharf]

No, it just makes sense. If you want to test it yourself, make an entity with a few bones, assign different materials to bones one of which is alphablend, then measure performance against an entity where all bones are assigned to alphablend

[ember aspen]

In the normal bedrock on a highend system it's pretty hard to see any changes unless you scale it very high. I'd have to hav a different version of bedrock for that.

In UE5 and other game engines it's the other way around. It's critical you only apply materials to the areas that need it

Going forward with RTX/Deffered isn't it even more critical each bone has the correct material applied to it so the lighting correctly works?

[iron swift]

have u ever made an entity that dynamically change its texture using script?

i have this set up

then use property to change the offset

But it doesnt work at all

[proud wharf]

Not really, lighting is applied per pixel, not per bone. Tho, in deferred, transparent materials are quite costly and it's best to avoid them

[iron swift]

have u ever done any dynamic change texture?

if so, can u share some propotype

[proud wharf]

Wdym by that

[iron swift]

well, the correct method of entity to change their texture is through texture array

but i want to use script to change them by modify the offset value in the render controller

[ember aspen]

Entity property in the offset, then change entity property with JS?

[iron swift]

yep

[ember aspen]

Personally I use commands and animations instead.

[iron swift]

but that doesnt work

[ember aspen]

Does offset allow mojang?

[iron swift]

that complicate the whole process though

[iron swift]

yes?

[ember aspen]

Without JS this is pretty easy IME

[iron swift]

there's a guy who make a tivi addon with animated entity using molang in the offset

[ember aspen]

It's how I do character creators https://youtu.be/3KrxnVG_R6I

[iron swift]

i just trying to copy his technique but add the js

[ember aspen]

Yeah i've made some hour+ long videos with UV_anim "offsets"

[ember aspen]

But how the pixel reacts is based on the bones assigned material isnt' it.

It's not good to hear alpha is so costly people avoid it. Thats very sad.

Or is it using the PBR data

[proud wharf]

In RTX and deferred materials largely don't matter, because the main cost comes from doing light calculations per pixel. Deferred earned its name because it defers lighting calculations, by rendering geometry data into multiple buffers like color, MER, normals etc, and then doing calculations on the entire screen at the very end. So when you have overlapping models, only the closets pixel will do expensive lighting calculations. Transparency is a different story tho, you can't defer calculations of transparent pixels, so in deferred, transparent things calculate light every time they are rendered. I'm not sure about RTX, but I don't think it makes much of a difference there.

[ember aspen]

So you don't assign materials at all?

It's been ages since I did rtx and I can't remember the process

[proud wharf]

I meant that materials don't matter for performance

Except for transparent things in deferred

[ember aspen]

emissive?

blend?

Does it apply the same for block vs entities?

[proud wharf]

If something is transparent in any way, it's expensive in deferred. If it's not, then it's very cheap to render.

[proud wharf]

In deferred yes, it applies to everything

[ember aspen]

Even emissive?

thats normally the most costly

[proud wharf]

If it's emissive and transparent yes, if it's just emissive then it doesn't matter

[ember aspen]

nice, thats cool

thanks for the info. Sadly I'll forget by the time I'm ready to do deferred.

Cyberaxe Bookmark Deferred performance

I'd really like to do deferred for my space game. I think it could really take it to the next level. But its alot of work

How do particles and deferred work?
My planets are particles atmopheres

Which are mostly alpha or additive

and is the performance hit you're talking about only client side, or does the server feel any of this?

[proud wharf]

Client side

[ember aspen]

I use alot of alphas and additive in my materials, but 90% of it is to replicate lighting effects. So if I could remove those. I'd only need it for normal alpha stuff which wouldn't be alot.
https://youtu.be/4ZXgSa0YXfY

[proud wharf]

They work great, custom materials are respected properly unlike in RTX

[ember aspen]

I use triliner because I'm doing HD. have you tried deferred with it? does it cause the pixel dust/cloning effect like you see in UE5 systems?

RTX also had

[proud wharf]

Idk, but it should work in deferred the same as it does without it

[ember aspen]

I wonder if it's a performance hit or not vs bilinear everyone uses by default

[wanton venture]

Can I make my entity spawn in daylight but not if there is no-daylight light around?

[ember aspen]

the envirormental sensor

is localised

light level. So have 2 filters

[ember aspen]

and yes I think even in the spawn rules there is a light level check. Thats how torches are used

[wanton venture]

The thing is after I add that they dont spawn in day

[ember aspen]

can you show the code

[wanton venture]

"minecraft:brightness_filter": {
          "min": 7,
          "max": 15,
          "adjust_for_weather": false
        }

I'm playing with values to see if I find something that works

[ember aspen]

yeah I don't think that will work then.

I'd spawn them invisible. Do a light check on spawn with enviromental sensor then if x die if y uneffect

If you need to do it for vanilla

make a custom entity, that doesnt' have RP assets.
It's spawns checks light level then if x spawn vanilla mob

This way you can still use the population system.

[wanton venture]

The problem here is that any light check in the game looks for both, sky and blocks

There seems to be no way to separate them, which is what I need

[ember aspen]

vs what

If they are in a dark room it doesnt' care about the sun

enviromental sensor

should be local

[wanton venture]

Not what I'm talking about

[ember aspen]

Thats teh check I'm says

Spawn an entity during the day. Have the entity check with an enviromental sensor the local light level.

If it's x then spawn your mob.

or put that in your custom mobs

[wanton venture]

Wont work

[ember aspen]

why not?

[wanton venture]

Let's say I have torches all around. The enviroment sensor will do the check and will be validated

That's exactly what I don't want

[ember aspen]

huh?

You set the light level you want to check for right

so you say if 1 spawn

if 7 don't spawn

[kind charm]

Then...just make them spawn in the day time only?

[wanton venture]

How?

[kind charm]

Isnt there a daytime filter?

[wanton venture]

for spawn rules? doesnt seems so

[ember aspen]

I thought you carred about light level not time of day

If you care about time of day do the same thing but in the enviromental sensor use is day..

if day spawn if not day don't
