Entities General

[rain egret]

are you using query.modified_move_speed? or what are you using to detect movement?

[pliant oak]

         "minecraft:can_power_jump": {},
         "minecraft:input_ground_controlled": {},
         "minecraft:movement": { "value": 0.0 },
         "minecraft:horse.jump_strength": { "value": 0.0 },

this achives what i want but the entity still moves

[rain pike]

Still

[rain egret]

If you want the player to stay completely still you can use a command

[pliant oak]

i know

i am trying to avoid that

[rain egret]

inputpermission set @p movement disabled

[rain egret]

ah, are you avoiding using commands?

can you try to take control away from the rider?

maybe changing controlling_seat to 1

[rain egret]

bro, that's not possible, I've tried it and it works

[rain pike]

Did you tried it by minecraft:totem_of_undying

[rain pike]

I think i have to try again

[rain egret]

yes

[rain pike]

it shows a lot of messages and before player die

[pliant oak]

does that prevent the passenger from leaving by pressing jump?

[rain egret]

You need to return the state to default, (0.1) does not work, try using q.health>2

[rain egret]

I don't know, that just indicates that the rider who has control is 1, and only seat 0 is available, maybe it works, but I recommend you use the command

[pliant oak]

i understand the concept

[rain pike]

Like this?

[rain egret]

q.health>2

I'm leaving, good luck :v

[rain pike]

It only works once

[rain pike]

Its okey thxx

[lofty citrus]

where can I get the docs for "minecraft:behavior"?

are they still available?

[sterile flint]

Guys, is there a way to force a player to walk towards a specific entity? I've added this components in player.json and a new event that adds this component group, but when the entity spawns, the player won't walk towards it. Is it possible?

        "minecraft:behavior.melee_attack": {
          "require_complete_path": true
        },
        "minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target": {
          "priority": 10,
          "must_see": false,
          "reselect_targets": true,
          "within_radius": 64.0,
          "entity_types": [
            {
              "filters": {
                "test": "is_family",
                "subject": "other",
                "operator": "==",
                "value": "cinematic_marker"
              },
              "max_dist": 64.0,
              "must_see": false
            }
          ]
        }
      }```

[lofty citrus]

Oh it's goal component thanks a lot

[little cloud]

have you tried forcing knockback via scripting?

[sterile flint]

Don't know how to do that 😕

[rain egret]

Those components only work on mobs, you can create a custom mob and have the player follow it with tp or ride

[sterile flint]

So I create a custom mob that moves to the point I want the player to move, and have like a repeating command block with a /tp @p @e[family=X] or something like that?

[rain egret]

yes

I guess you'll also need the camera command to follow the mob's view.

[earnest harbor]

anyone got any idea how I can scale down my baby model?

[rain egret]

It seems that you are trying to add a group of components inside "components"

[earnest harbor]

oh, that makes sense

[earnest harbor]

how can I give my entity a different model and texture when its a baby with query.is_baby

cause they do breed right now but the adult model comes out

and it doesnt scale down

[rain egret]

you should check pig.json, or any other animal that has its baby phase

[earnest harbor]

thanks

[earnest harbor]

I’ve looked at it but just can’t seem to figure it out , would you mind if I dm you my codes and you looking into it ?

[lofty citrus]

why could it not be valid? outdated? do I need to enable something?

[warm tendon]

Can you send your file?

[lofty citrus]

here is the file

it works when in 1.10

but when I change it to 1.18 or 1.20 it no longer works properly

[lofty citrus]

here is the whole entity file

[warm tendon]

It's because you have a colon in must_see. Replace "must_see:":false with "must_see":false

Easy mistake to make, happens to all of us

[lofty citrus]

DANG

[lofty citrus]

fixed it but still doesn't work tho...

[warm tendon]

Same log error?

[lofty citrus]

no log error but it doesn't attack entities

on format version 1.10 it attacks

where is the docs for "minecraft:movement"? can't find it in the entity component list

[warm tendon]

Doesn't seem to he docs on just movement, only the subsets

Make sure the filters are right I guess?

[lofty citrus]

yeah

[lofty citrus]

I don't know what's wrong but the entity is not even attacking

should I just stick to 1.10?

[warm tendon]

Maybe it's the flying? Not entirely sure tbh. No other content logs?

Try switching it to ground movement to see if it fixes it

Why are you updating the format version anyway?

[earnest harbor]

I need someone to teach me how to make something breed-able and make sure that the baby model shows, I need something to be tame-able, something to follow me and to be able to be picked up . I’m making a huge pet mod which I can model but I can’t code for the love of god. Paying in PayPal if taught right and if it works !

[indigo ether]

how can i make an entity pass through walls but not ground

[lofty citrus]

yeah no logs

[lofty citrus]

cause I think it's necessary

but should I not?

[lofty citrus]

https://github.com/Mojang/bedrock-samples/blob/preview/behavior_pack/entities/vex.json

here's a vex sample

[warm tendon]

I mean, it is good to have it updated, but jo reason to do it if it's working and you don't need new components. Just a waste of effort

[lofty citrus]

Thanks for the advice i'll stay at 1.10 then

🫡

is "minecraft:movement" necessary for all movement?

for example flying

for some reason the issue was
"minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target" needs minecraft:behavior.delayed_attack" to attack mobs

I removed the "minecraft:behavior.delayed_attack" and it won't attack

[royal parrot]

Did mojang remove the ability of using the ender dragon runtime identifier to increase the entity render distance? 🤔 I saw people saying it worked, but I tested it and had no effect

[ruby cape]

Ah man if we can increase the entity render distance that would be sick

Lmk I guess

[atomic moth]

What component should i add to make entity to run from sun into the shadows, like skeleton

?

[rain egret]

have you not checked the behavior of the skeleton?

[atomic moth]

I did

},
"minecraft:behavior.flee_sun": {
"priority": 15,
"speed_multiplier": 1.4
},

You meant this right?

[rain egret]

then why do you ask?? :v

[atomic moth]

Well it have highest priority but still entity walks under sun

[atomic moth]

It have no effect

Should i send json file of entity?

[rain egret]

ah ok, so if you adjust the priority, it won't be the same for all entities

[rain egret]

Send it if you want, so I can guess what the priority should be

[rain egret]

ok, you should use priority 3

[atomic moth]

Are you sure? Because it will be much lower then other priorities

[rain egret]

and avoid block with priority 2

[atomic moth]

Okey

[rain egret]

When the number is low, the priority is higher

[atomic moth]

:OO i thought opposite

[rain egret]

no

[atomic moth]

K i will test it now

[rain egret]

Well yes, but I mean obviously if someone has priority 1 it's because they're the first :v

[atomic moth]

It still wonders under sun like nothing

Nothing changed

It avoids blocks it should avoid but not sun

[rain egret]

then alternate 3 and 4, if you want delete avoid block to test that flee_sun component works correctly

[atomic moth]

I removed it but results are still same

:((

[rain egret]

look at player priority 5

[atomic moth]

Okey

[atomic moth]

Still same

Maybe problem is something else

Mb format version?

Or

},
"minecraft:behavior.flee_sun": {
"priority": 1,
"speed_multiplier": 1.4
},
This itself

Maybe it does not work on format version 1.20.80?

[rain egret]

Skeletons and zombies have always fled from the sun :v

[atomic moth]

Then what is happening to my custum entity?

[rain egret]

Go to the folder of the world in which you test it and send the file of this entity

[atomic moth]

I already sent file previously

[atomic moth]

This

[rain egret]

I said go to the world, and copy the file, I don't need another one, I just want to see that file specifically

[rain egret]

just to see if you are testing the file correctly

[rain egret]

can your mob move?

[atomic moth]

Yes

It walks around

Btw should point out if it accidentally goes under shadow for example under tree it will not came out from it

But i have to push it to go there or it should go under tree accidentally while wondering around

[rain egret]

ok try this, i saw you had a duplicate component and i removed it, i also changed flee_sun to restrict_sun

[atomic moth]

Okey lets see

[atomic moth]

Still same

Lets wait for someone more experienced mb they can help

[rain egret]

mmm i guess, that's weird

[sour escarp]

how would i make an entity thats visible to only one player at a time?

[ruby cape]

Entities aren't client sided

I believe your best option would be a particle 🤔

[mental trench]

Can anybody help me with an entity that can be paint-able.

[pliant oak]

is there a filter to tell if the entity has naturally spawned or not?

[rain egret]

is it a custom entity?

[pliant oak]

yes, but never mind my question, i have found a solution

i used minecraft:spawn_event in the spawn rules file of the entity and it worked

[rain egret]

ah ok, i was going to mention it XD

[pliant oak]

actually it's minecraft:herd with an event that worked

[pliant oak]

is there a native way to make mobs despawn when the difficulty is changed to peaceful or do i need an environmental sensor for that?

[lofty citrus]

can you elaborate on what you mean by "paintable"?

[mental trench]

I'm gonna record a sample from a different addon for a basis

Here

[lofty citrus]

oh that's just render controller

wait let me get the docs

that's the same how sheep works

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/documents/introductiontoentityproperties?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

here properties

let me explain briefly to you how it works
Inside the Entities in BP
you put properties
e.g.

"properties": {
          "property:ore_type": {
            "type": "int",
            "range": [0,6],
            "default": 0,
            "client_sync": true
          }
        },

ore_type will be your property name

in your render_controllersyou create an array
e.g.

"textures": {
          "Array.ore_type": [
            "Texture.coal",
            "Texture.iron",
            "Texture.gold",
            "Texture.copper",
            "Texture.emerald",
            "Texture.diamond"
          ]
        }
//Below it you have this which will check the property in the entity and change the texture
"textures": [ "Array.ore_type[query.property('property:ore_type')]" ]

@mental trench

[mental trench]

Ohh, I am following it

[lofty citrus]

it might be hard at first, but ask me if you need mroe info

[mental trench]

So it will mostly focus on render_controllers and properties on the entity behavior, am I right?

[lofty citrus]

yes

you create and change the property in the entity behavior and the render_controller will check it and change the texture

that's the gist of it

[mental trench]

Does it still need events on the entity behavior ?

[lofty citrus]

yeah I guess

[mental trench]

I am gonna do first what you told to me

[lofty citrus]

events on entities still exists only on the items it's removed cause it's on scripts now

[mental trench]

@lofty citrus nothing changes

[smoky jay]

How can i add attack animation to my parrot-like entity? I already have a "attack" animation variable but it's not showing

[gloomy rain]

how to lock entity look at target?

[lofty citrus]

send me your json files here

[mental trench]

there is an error here

[mental trench]

@lofty citrus

[lofty citrus]

you missed a comma

[lofty citrus]

comma there

very common mistake

we all have been there

[mental trench]

Oh yeah HAHAH

[mental trench]

Can you check this file if it's correct?

[rain egret]

"arrays": {
"textures": {
"Array.variants": [
"Texture.texture1",
"Texture.texture2",
"Texture.texture3"
]
}
},

[lofty citrus]

it's not you need to put it inside "arrays"

[lofty citrus]

like this @mental trench
arrays -> textures->Array.variants

[mental trench]

Is this right? Sorry to bother huhu, I'm so new about the entities thing

[rain egret]

That looks good, note that arrays count from 0, so the property must be within the range 0-2

[mental trench]

Okay let me check if it's gonna work

Man it works HAHAH

But it doesn't change into a next texture variant

[rain egret]

you have to see the behavior

[mental trench]

Then?

[rain egret]

can you send it?

[mental trench]

The addon?

[rain egret]

file

only the entity file

[mental trench]

The behavior right?

[rain egret]

yes

[rain egret]

ok, there are 2 problems,

1. it uses version 1.20.80
2. there is nothing that makes your properties change

[mental trench]

How can I solve it?

[rain egret]

1, just change 1.16.0 to 1.20.80
2, I don't know how you planned the texture change

[mental trench]

The texture will changed when holding a stick

[rain egret]

Do you mean, if I equip a stick to the armor stand, it will change texture to the following one?

or if I hit him with a stick?

@mental trench

[mental trench]

I think like equip

[rain egret]

First of all, is your entity functioning as an armor stand?

[mental trench]

If it's the runtime identifier then yes

[mental trench]

Ohh does the interacting will not work?

[rain egret]

Yes, that would be simpler, but, did you want to equip it to the armor stand or interact?

[mental trench]

Interact, I'm so sorry huhu

[rain egret]

In this case I just randomize the states, but you can try it, it's still so simple that it can't fail

[mental trench]

Thanks man for the effort, I'm gonna try if it's gonna work

Man it works 100%, thank you so much.

[steady tundra]

what is the alternative to this?

"domain": "msd:entity_id",
"subject": "other",
"operator": "!=",
"value": "q.property('msd:player_id')"```

[rain egret]

The value is wrong, you can't use it like that

Oh, sorry, you're just looking for an alternative

[rain egret]

I think the easy way is to use scripts

[rain egret]

Although I don't understand its application, it seems somewhat useless.

[steady tundra]

how would i use scripts for that?

i was hoping to set an int property

[rain egret]

It's really strange what you're trying to do.

[steady tundra]

why? 😂

in short, i have multiple entities of one type that i want to control individually where each one goes

so i thought a random property, copied to a dummy, then "attacked"

[rain egret]

{
"test": "has_property",
"value": "msd:entity_id",
"subject": "other",
"operator": "!="
}
Ok. I think I misunderstood, tell me, does this make sense to you?

@steady tundra

[steady tundra]

yeah

you're testing if the other entity has the property, regardless of value

i basically want 1 entity, 1 pathfinder dummy. Times X

so each entity goes to it's one pathfinder

[rain egret]

Yes, that's exactly what you're trying to do here.

[steady tundra]

yeah

so is there an alternative we know of?

[rain egret]

Filters do not alter properties, if not that is what you expected, I'm sorry but I really don't understand it is very strange, perhaps you should create a post in entities so that your question is not lost

[obsidian oasis]

Quick question. If we want our add-on to include refreshed models for pre-existing mob, as per the guideline requirements they have to be new mob as we cannot change he vanilla version ?

[glacial sand]

How do I make render controller when you hit a mob I doesn't turn red like an item when held

[lofty citrus]

@mental trench how is it now?

where can I find the attack types for this?

[mental trench]

It's working 100%, currently I'm doing an animation of my entity where it can be rotate-able

[lofty citrus]

nice

[mental trench]

but i am having trouble HAHAH, cuz instead the animation will be triggered when crouching (like armor stand). It spinning endlessly

[torn apex]

Hello guys, how do I add sound effects when an entity is spawned?

[glacial sand]

Is there a render controller for like a tnt

[lofty citrus]

welp goodlock mate

[lofty citrus]

check for on_entity_spawn component or soemthing

[kind charm]

No. What are you trying to achieve?

[glacial sand]

Color transitioning to other color and then repeat

[kind charm]

Check the creepers RC.

[glacial sand]

Ok

[torn apex]

@lofty citrus will check thanks for the reply

[wanton venture]

How can I make an entity attract/follow others entity to it's position without modifying the other entities?

[soft oak]

Thank you very much

[mental trench]

Guys, can you change the interaction where the player should have a stick on the mainhand to interact in this code.

[kind charm]

Yes use filters.

[mental trench]

How?

[kind charm]

Check the cow code.

[mental trench]

Like this one?

"wiki:on_interact": {
"trigger": {
"filters": {
"test": "is_family",
"subject": "self",

},

}

[kind charm]

Yeah! Except use a different test.

Rip

[rain egret]

and what is the problem?? 🤷‍♂️

[true schooner]

The pumpkin not showing

Even tho it's not sheared

[rain egret]

have you equipped the pumpkin to your entity?

[true schooner]

wait

mb

forgot

[rain egret]

The pumpkin is not part of the model, it's like a helmet

[true schooner]

Ohhhh

[rain egret]

If it doesn't work try to enable attachables in entity client

[true schooner]

[rain egret]

mmm is it working now?

[true schooner]

Yes

[rain egret]

ok

my entity just wont die even with /kill

[rain egret]

damage sensor

[wooden radish]

thats still not working

[rain egret]

you have made it so that it does not take damage, including /kill

i changed it to true

ooo that makes sense when its false 0 damage can be taken

[rain egret]

If you are going to be true, then there is no need to put damage sensor

🤷‍♂️

[wooden radish]

I removed it but its still not working sorry entities arent my specialty

[rain egret]

then you haven't done it correctly

Many have the same problems when testing updated addons

[wanton dune]

Idk if this still matters cause it's just format version try using 1.16.100

[wanton dune]

Tbh I noticed since updated a lot of things got broken

[rain egret]

I don't think it will affect much, since it is not using new components.

although yes. it is advisable to use updated versions, I usually use 1.20.80

[wooden radish]

yeah guys im not to sure whats going on here none of this is working

[rain egret]

how are you testing it?

[wooden radish]

okay so.. it is working? but theres still old entities here. thats why it wasnt working but they wont disappear

the one taking damage works but idk why this old one is here

[rain egret]

You need to add an event called despawn and a component group with the component minecraft:instant_despawn

[wooden radish]

okay I added that in but it cant be executed on my bullet

bro why are you reducing the version, who uses 1.8.0?

By the way, what command are you using? Send it.

oh wtf 😭 i didnt even notice that idk how that got there

[wooden radish]

do i have to add a "queue_command"

[rain egret]

eh? I want to know what command you are using to execute the event

[wooden radish]

ooo I thought u meant inside of the json

/event entity @e[type=jay:bullet] jay:bullet_despawn

[rain egret]

jay:text

[rain egret]

your entity is called jay:text

this is the correct one im so sorry

[rain egret]

ok

[wooden radish]

sorry it was my other testing one

[gloomy crag]

Do you know if there is a way to make it so that only the player himself can see an bone in its geometry when in third person?

[low talon]

Is there a way to get an entity to drop items not from a loot table but from their inventory?

[wooden radish]

as in if your entity has items in its "minecraft:inventory" it drops on death?

[low talon]

not on death no, as some behaviour

[crude gust]

Any ideas why there is an error query.property called on an actor without a property component? I'm trying to use q.property in RP entity, I have

"properties": {
                "nubs:rotation": {
                    "type": "int",
                    "values": [

                        3

                    "client_sync": true
                }
            },

in my entity behavior file.

Game says that it doesn't have any properties.

Fixed it:

"nubs:rotation": {
                    "type": "int",
                    "range": [
                        0,
                        3
                    ],
                    "default": 1,
                    "client_sync": true
                }

[low talon]

Help!! My entities are falling into hoppers and can't get out to continue their behaviours. What sort of movement component stuff could I be missing?

[reef oyster]

what am I doing wrong? how do I get the animations to work

[wanton dune]

always never put spaces whe naming atransition thats not valid in json's syntax

the die fall should be die_fall or dieFall

[low talon]

I have an entity that I've setup to do trades with and after only a few trades, its telling me that it will not do that trade anymore. I think I have trade_resupply being added/removed correctly??

Why would it do this?

[low talon]

O

I'm trying to control which entites pickup which items. I have 3 in an area and I've tried telling them with the pickup_items behavior and sharables components but they insist on picking up everything around them as soon as they pick anything up. Any pointers?

[low talon]

How do entities decide on exchanging items between themselves? I've seen my custom entities do it once but I didn't think I did anything to make that happen.

[low talon]

More questions.. I'm trying to make an entity that fishes. I'm trying to use the villager_v2 as a template. I've set dweller and behavior.work but the entity doesn't do anything (even after trading which the documenation mentions).

[wanton dune]

How do I make the entity can take damage but will never die

[rain egret]

"minecraft:health": {
"value": 1,
"min": 1
},

[low talon]

Is it possible to read information from, say, a book item in the world and then use that information to control the behaviour of an entity?

[wanton venture]

I don’t think so

[wanton venture]

What materials should I use for this

entity_alphablend makes the cube of the inside not show

got it!

Why does my projectile stays floating?

[low talon]

That's funny.. If it travels in lava, it will die?

[wanton venture]

Yeah, this is a modified arrow code so haven't removed that part yet

[wanton dune]

slime outer and enderman materials I guess?

[wanton venture]

just used slime outer and slime

[wanton dune]

I don't think so cause if player kills the entity manually it will die it only save the entity when you use /kill

[wanton dune]

Ooh, I thought you want to make it gloww

[wanton venture]

min health 1 won't allow the entity to die in any way

From last time I checked

[wanton dune]

Ohh, I thought it was already patched... Nice

[wanton venture]

do you happen to have an idea sir coddy

[wanton dune]

What's the problem?

[wanton venture]

The projectile should despawn upon impact

But it stays floating... for no reason

[wanton dune]

Use runtime identifier

[wanton venture]

I can't

[wanton dune]

?

[wanton venture]

Can't use runtime_ids nor think I need them

[wanton dune]

But did you try atleast to use arrow as your runtime identifier?

Nvm

[wanton dune]

Guys, is there a component able not make entities receive any effects

[wanton venture]

minecraft:mob_effect_immunity

[wanton dune]

Seems odd, never saw this when I search in the documentation just now

thanks, I guess?

[low talon]

Is there a way to capture entity interactions with script instead of just the interact component?

[wanton dune]

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity(({ target, player }) => {
   console.error(`${player.name} interacted with ${target.typeId}`);
});```

[low talon]

ahh nice, I was hoping it would be that simple

[wanton dune]

I fuckin knew it that's it's an array. @wanton venture
https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Entities#minecraft%3Amob_effect_immunity

[low talon]

I'm trying to use this little script: javascript: world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => { const { player, target } = event if (target.typeId == "utilblocks:droidalphadesign") { //const component = target.getComponent("minecraft:npc"); //component.defaultScene = "ducky_intro" event.cancel; player.runCommandAsync('dialogue open ' + target.id + ' @s "ducky_intro"') }. The entity targeted has the minecraft:npc component but I couldn't seem to use it. I get an error that the entity has no permission to execute?? I'll get the exact error in a sec...

"[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native function [Entity::runCommand] does not have required privileges. at <anonymous> (events.js:578)"

[kind charm]

You need to wrap it around system.run

[low talon]

oh okay

argh now it won't let me use id as a string. How do I do that?

.toString didn't work.. 😦

[kind charm]

What?

[low talon]

I need the id of the target

oh wait... and the player id

"player.id.toString"??

[kind charm]

What are you doing?

[wanton venture]

If your question is now related to scripting then I recommend you moving to #1067535382285135923

[wanton venture]

Yep, is an array. You define all effects that your entity is gonna be immune to

[low talon]

How can an entity get a "scoreboardIdentity"?

[formal veldt]

by making it participate

[low talon]

Maybe I need to go back to my other question about getting an id from an entity that I can use with a command

[glass aurora]

you need the "minecraft:is_chested": {} component

[rain egret]

is_chested is a useless component like is_baby or is_stunned

"minecraft:inventory": {
"container_type": "inventory",
"private": false,
"inventory_size": 45
},
I guess this would be the correct configuration

[glass aurora]

I remember that you need that component to open inventories. Also, if you kill a mob with that component, it drops a loot chest. So it's not useless as you say.

[rain egret]

Wow, I didn't know about the loot chest, although to see the inventory, you just need to configure the inventory component correctly.

[glass aurora]

Apparently you need that component, it's not enough to set "private": false. If you look at the donkey's file, you'll see that it has an inventory when tamed, but it can only be opened when it has the "minecraft:is_chested" component.

[rain egret]

No, actually the private is not that important, you just have to define the type of container , initially you didn't have it.

[low talon]

I've now got an entity that I can interact with to get either a trade or dialogue by using a stick when I interact with them to control which. However, the entity is consuming the sticks! How do I stop that? Is it some member of the minecraft:npc component or is it in the dialogue scene members?

Ahh.. I think its the stupid example scene I copied

[low talon]

Is there a way to give an entity a selection box?

[proud basalt]

For an entity to be able to hold an item do I need more than these 2 components ?

"minecraft:inventory": {},
"minecraft:equip_item": {}

[wary flax]

How did you figure it out?

[low talon]

Is it possible to use the behavior.eat_block to only eat fully grown crops? Can I filter it by some value?

[low talon]

Is it possible to use query.block_state to control the success_chance perhaps? I don't know how to use the queries

[low talon]

With behavior.move_to_block is there a way to use target_block_filters to actually refer to the block and states?

[wanton venture]

I used slime and slime_outer materials

[wanton venture]

Whag materials should I use that works like entity_alphablend but won't have the face culling?

[proud wharf]

"+states": ["DisableCulling"]

[wanton venture]

Where does that goes?

[proud wharf]

In your custom material json

[proud basalt]

is it possible to change the size of an held item?

[formal veldt]

attachables.

[wanton venture]

Not using one, I need to? Will the game crash?

[proud basalt]

but for vanilla items?

[formal veldt]

attachables.

[proud basalt]

like if I want the diamond sword to display in the hand like an apple would

[proud basalt]

I'll check that out then thanks

[proud basalt]

found another way without attachables

[fast kraken]

How do I make an entity follow you from a certain range, but not shooting projectiles until its at a smaller range?

[little cloud]

it will only crash if you mess up really bad, just create resources/materials/entity.material and paste in this code

{
    "materials": {
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "material_name:entity_nocull": { 
            "+states": [
                "Blending", 
                "DisableDepthWrite"
            ] 
        }
    }
}

[low talon]

Hey I'm wondering, is it possible to cause an entity to do an emote or is it player and user interface only?

How do the armor stand poses work? Is that for any entity?

ahh.. /playanimation?

argh no command line autocomplete

[wanton venture]

Oohh, thanks!! ❤️

[crystal oyster]

that on hit stuff has never really worked for me

[Animation][error]-kuma:gray_comun_rat | Error: can't find animation walk

I can't understand why this error is happening, because the animations are working fine, and everything looks to be working in spite of it. Does this error come from the animation? or from the controller?

[rain egret]

There is no breath or walk animation, your walk animation has been set as moving or move (I don't know which of the 2 is the one you need) and your breath animation has been set as staticking

[limpid wave]

So in the controller, I go by the definition in the entity? Rather than the animation name?

[rain egret]

yes

[limpid wave]

Cool, thanks!

[low talon]

Hey... Is there a way to make an entity permanently invisible?

Well, at least until I change it again from script

or something

[rain egret]

What do you mean by invisible?

[low talon]

can't be seen or interacted with nor attacked but they will be invulnerable anyway I think

[rain egret]

You should delete the entity file or archive it in a separate folder :v

[low talon]

Nooooo

I need to be able to interact with it from script at any time

I want to create a kind of follower that you can summon and send away again and that has certain other interactions, particularly with other player's followers

But it has to be spawned at all time

[rain egret]

so you have an entity without a model? you just want it to be uninteractable with the minecraft:interact component?

[low talon]

no, sometimes it will have a model I guess...

I don't think that component will help me

Hmm... I can make them invisible with effects for 11.5 days apparently.. Maybe I can update that on some interval

[rain egret]

ok so you want it to be invisible sometimes, you can use properties, variants or mark_variant, to toggle visibility, or just use effect invisible command

[low talon]

"toggle visibility"?

[rain egret]

You say that Effect works for you? Then why don't you keep using it?

why 11 days?

[low talon]

I don't know what works yet I am only trying to figure out how to do something

Because the maximum duration that you can apply an effect for is 20000000 ticks

[rain egret]

just make it permanent with a tag

[low talon]

what tag?

There is no effect end event

[rain egret]

effect @e[tag=tag_example] invisibility 1 1 true

just make the command run permanently

[low talon]

Sounds lag inducing

Do entities get despawned if they aren't in the simulation distance of any player?

[rain egret]

Ok, it would just be the repetition of a command, if you don't like it then you can use properties or variants

[rain egret]

if you haven't set the persistent component then it may disappear

[wanton dune]

To be frank it wouldn't really lag at all caus eyour just setting invisibility which is 1 effect..

[low talon]

Do I put that in the tick.json file or something?

[wanton dune]

not directly inside tick.json

[wanton dune]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/commands/mcfunctions#tick-json

[tall shard]

How do you detect the wither's charging skull event using a Molang? Is there even any? I tried query.is_charged and is_charging but they don't work.

has_target enables upon wither detecting you.

[low talon]

Aww there is nothing in the example source data for it that tells me

But it looks to me like they are just special behaviours with no links to any other components or properties

[rain egret]

the wither has no charge time

[tall shard]

Oh okay, thanks for responding.

[low talon]

Does anyone know if its possible, in the behaviour json events, can an entity add a tag to itself?

Is it possible to run commands in events?

[rain egret]

Yes, just add the command with queue_command

"custom_event": {
"queue_command": {
"command": [
"say hello"
]
}
},

[low talon]

Yes, I found it, thanks!

[wanton dune]

Guys can I make a projectile hold item? I want to fake that entity throws a block

And position the item to looks like a full bloc

[earnest harbor]

hi, anyone know why my spawn egg texture is giving error in the code?

[soft oak]

How do you make entity projectiles drop on the ground if it does not hit an entity

[soft oak]

If you code it properly, I dont see why not

Bind the itemslot to the model and add the equippable component

[wanton dune]

Yeah I did that

[sour escarp]

is there a way i can make a mob i can control? like, when i right click it i go into control mode, and can move the mob, and use its abilities with certian keys? like if i made a wardenlike control mob, i could move it, use space to make it sonic screech, and use key g to make it do something else

[subtle glade]

How do I remove the death animation from an entity?

[formal veldt]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/visuals/death-animations.html#top

[low talon]

I'm wondering, for player entities, do the enchanted items they are wearing use effects? Is there a way to detect quickly, by examining the effects that are applied to the player, if they have some kinds of enchanted items?

In particular, I want to know if they have frost walker or haste (?) or such things that would affect their movement.

[wanton venture]

They don't use effects, enchants are a hardcoded behavior. You can check for enchanted items using scripting. As in for check whether an entity has a particular effect or not, I am not sure, but my guess it that you would have to check for all possible ways the player could have the effect, for haste it would be the beacon and potions I believe? If you don't care about commands.

[wanton venture]

Try

"minecraft:biome_filter": {
          "any_of": [
            {
              "test": "has_biome_tag",
              "operator": "==",
              "value": "savanna"
            }
          ]
        }

[wanton venture]

Yes that is possible. You need to make the entity ridable, once you ride it, you get invisible, and from there use scripting or BPACs to do the other functionalities

[wanton venture]

What problem are you facing?

[obsidian pier]

Like for an example when you have an entity that runs on event and then the animated textures work until it gets hold on last frame

[modern hawk]

"components": {
        "minecraft:damage_sensor":{

Is there any documentation available for render controller json files? Anything comprehensive about entity jsons?

Sorry found the https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-intro-rp.html gosh the offical doc is lean

Are there any tutorials about rideable entities? Is it possible to control the entity being ridden with the velocity methods/properties? I'm thinking, to completely control the movement of the player as well since you can't do that directly.

[solar valley]

Sometimes, my projectiles go inside walls or floor. How I fix this?

[low talon]

Is there a way to prevent a player from dismounting a rideable entity?

Is there way to not dismount with jump, at least?

Can I forcefully add the riding component to a player perhaps?

[kind charm]

In 1.21.50 there is a new command that will allow that.

[low talon]

awww

Sorry its the wrong channel but while you're giving answers, how do I make the preview the default version?

[low talon]

I'm just trying to find the reference for that and I can't find anything in the wiki related to rideable changes. Can you direct me a little more?

Oh wait... is it "/set_movement_authority"?

[kind charm]

no inputpermission.

[low talon]

oh there is something new in that class?

[kind charm]

Yes.

[low talon]

PlayerInputPermissionCategoryChangeAfterEvent?

InputPermissionCategory

dismount false I suppose

But it says that dismounting may still occur?

Can I still use PlayerInputPermissionCategoryChangeAfterEvent in 1.21.44 to detect the Dismount category change when they do dismount?

And then try to force them back on by setting the component perhaps

[ruby cape]

Anybody know an alternative to replacing the mount health bar?

Can someone recommend a sfx editing program?

[proud basalt]

What is that

[solar valley]

Sound effects

For mobs and all of another things

[proud basalt]

Idk I mostly record my own voice and edit it with a video editing software

Like lumafusion

Is it possible to separate 2 materials on single models?

For example, I'm making a hologram entity that glows and is semitransparent. However, I can't separate the materials due to my limitation about materials.

the stand should be solid and the hologram beam should be glow-semitransparent

[strange wharf]

(screenshot of Bahavior pack code) I made an airplane add-on where when we get in it will run a function that makes the plane fly according to the function above. But this doesn't work, does anyone know where the error is?

[drowsy swift]

is anyone alive?, i used "minecraft:interact" component to play the swing animation while interacting with the entity to open the entity inventory, but for some reason i am no longer able to open the entity inventory

what should i do to fix that?

[rain egret]

You can't use 2 components that use the same interaction (right click), if you want to separate them you simply have to define the interaction with a filter, for example sneaking, in some cases these interactions are done automatically

[drowsy swift]

but i want the swing animation to happen when i open the entity inventory

[rain egret]

You could also try using query.is_in_ui to play the animation with an animation controller.

[drowsy swift]

I'll see about that later

[rain egret]

I know this affects the 3d model in the UI, though I'm not sure if it would work for an external animation.

[rain egret]

you don't have an initial_state

[gleaming crypt]

Guys a quick question. I want to display a entity name on a dummy entity. I need it so i can display text above a block in the game. Even dough i have the nameable component defined and i spawn the entity with a name, the name does not show to the player. Why is that?

[fading elm]

guys i have a question. why can my mob cant spawn in custom blocks. Can you guys help me please.

i did change the top layer of the plains biome into my custom block and try to make the mob spawn in that block but nothing spawn there.

[kind charm]

Custom blocks arent really considered solid.

[fading elm]

are there any way to make it consider a solid block

[kind charm]

Not really. I think you can use blocks.json,,instead of geometry and material instances.

[fading elm]

lets me try

oh it work

thank you @kind charm

[dusk tendon]

no way to detect item tags in filters right?

[tall shard]

Does anyone know if baby nitwit villager is a thing on BE? If so, how do you find them in the game. I need to ensure so I will create a model for them.

[tall shard]

It looks like villager_v2.json only transforms babies into unskilled and nitwit adults. But I could miss something.

[reef oyster]

how in the world do I get something like this to work?

[sour escarp]

how would i make an entity place a giant sphere of blocks around itself?

[wanton venture]

Make it run the commands to place the blocks. Probably you’d prefer /structure

[wanton venture]

I’m on mobile and can’t see that, can you explain what you want to do?

[wanton venture]

I don’t think so

[reef oyster]

so when it reaches a curtain amount of health it switches to a death animation controller so that it's animations line up with it's behavior

[sour escarp]

how do i make it run the commands

[wanton venture]

queue_command on the entity event

[wanton venture]

That would be done in the entity client file

[sour escarp]

wait, is it a component? im new

[wanton venture]

Not a component, check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entityevents/minecraftevents_queue_command?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[reef oyster]

can you elaberate?

[wanton venture]

In the scripts section of the entity client file, call your animation controller once the entity reaches a certain health value using actor_health

[sour escarp]

is there a way to set it on a timer?

[wanton venture]

Yes, you can use minecraft:timer to call the event which will place the structure

[sour escarp]

what if i wanted it t be a sphere of air?

[wanton venture]

Same story! You can save whatever block you want in a structure, including air

[lunar lynx]

doesnt have to be a structue too

[pliant oak]

is it possible to spawn an entity with no selection box?

so the player can't interact with it in anyway

[pliant oak]

i have found a way, i can use the evocation fangs runtime identifier

[amber dragon]

Hay I need some help editing this entity. I have a submarine and I need help making my submarine rise and lower in water when you look up and down.

[sour escarp]

what does the ender dragon use to destroy all blocks around it?

[sour escarp]

yes, but a structure block does squares

i cannot make a sphere of air

[true schooner]

Magik

[wanton venture]

You will build a sphere of any block and then fill the remaining part of the structure with minecraft:structure_void, then you will replace the block you built the sphere with with air. Done, your structure placed a sphere of air.

[pliant oak]

people tend to forget the existance of structure void

[sour escarp]

a structure void? thats a thing?

[wanton venture]

That's correct

[simple sinew]

How can I query properties of a different entity, now that "q.get_riders" and "q.get_nearby_entities" is deprecated?

Or is there a way to make an entity which is riding the player be visible in first person?

[wicked scaffold]

Yo is there a way to highlight a player?

Like the glow effect on Java, I seen an addon do it but it was from a long time ago

I just wanna make the player whiteish.. like, a ghost. Like this color "⬜"

is there any way to make a playing sound via /playsound or some other way follow an entity as it moves?

[wicked scaffold]

A constant sound?

[spring root]

yeah, working on a vehicle, trying to keep it attached to the vehicle

[wicked scaffold]

Yeah it's possible, by lots of methods

Do you want scripts or mc functions or command blocks?

[spring root]

scripts ideally

[wicked scaffold]

By scripts I mean JavaScript not molang

It's the best option ngl tho

[spring root]

yep that works

[wicked scaffold]

Alright do you have any idea of the game api?

[spring root]

yeah this entire project is very typescript heavy

[wicked scaffold]

Alright then

You should know how to play a sound by now but sure

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

system.runInterval(() => {
  let entities = world.getDimension('minecraft:overworld').getEntities({type: 'yourEntityType'});
  for (let i = 0; i < entities.length; i++) {
    world.getDimension('minecraft:overworld').playSound('yourSound', entities[i].location, {volume: 3, pitch: 1});
  }
}, 3);

[wicked scaffold]

@spring root

[spring root]

that doesnt seem to follow the entity, it just keeps playing it at the location it was set to play at unfortunately, i mean it updates every 3 ticks, but id have to have a very short lasting sound

[wicked scaffold]

Uh no, it follows the entity, plays the sound to all players near the entity, just change the volume depending on your liking, and 3 ticks is so it doesn't create lag.

Alternatively you could do a music command that loops ur sound on the players in the car. But it wouldn't be following the entity exactly...

[spring root]

hmmmmm ok, ill play around with it more, tyty

[simple sinew]

try this: https://harryf1204.github.io/Bedrock-Notebook/materials/examples.html#entity-outlines

Actually nvm

How'd I make multiple triggers with their own actions?

[wicked scaffold]

Basically an array of triggers and their own outcome

Yea, simply make "triggers" an array. Each entry in the array is an object much like the "triggers" one you have now.

"minecraft:damage_sensor": {
  "triggers": [
    {
      "on_damage": { /* ... */ }

[wicked scaffold]

With their own action?

Or what exactly?...

Oh yea right

IIRC the "event" key goes inside on_damage. Here's one trigger:

{
  "on_damage": {
    "filters": { /* ... */ },
    "event": "ds:hit_team_player",
    "target": "self"

  "deals_damage": false

Is there any way to make tradeless villagers shake their head when clicking on them? Something similar to the one in Java edition.

[wanton venture]

You can modify their code to play an animation when interacted, yes

[wanton venture]

How can I play an animation when an entity is summoned/spawns in the world, but not when the world is simply reloaded?

[deep patio]

You could trigger the animation trough a queue_command that is triggered from the entity_spawned event.

[wanton venture]

That will work, but do you know if there is a more straightforward way of doing so, like a query?

[kind charm]

You can set a property and query that.

[wanton venture]

That'd work, thanks

[sweet nimbus]

Hey does anyone have an idea how I could have a mob change its behavior when it goes below a certain amount of health

I want it to have the behavior of a phantom when above 16 hp and the behavior of a basic melee mob when it is below that

I’ve tried to learn how to use events and component groups but it’s not really clicking 😅

[deep patio]

You could use query.health in an server side animation controller. then trigger the event from in there.

[sweet nimbus]

Do you have any links or aides to help get me started on that?

[deep patio]

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/animation-controllers/animation-controllers-intro.html#bp-animation-controllers-1

Thanks man

[sweet nimbus]

@deep patio Sorry for the ping but when setting up component groups do I leave any components in the default components folder?

[deep patio]

If you have components that you are not planning to change across the different groups then you can leave them in the default component object.

[sweet nimbus]

Got it, thanks!

Can I do it with minecraft:interact component? If so, how can I link it to an animation in animation controller? Can I use query.property to do that?

[sterile flint]

Hi, everyone! I’ve got a problem that may have an easy solution. I have an item called "brush" that, when I interact with an entity, changes the item to "brush_red" via /replaceitem command.

The issue is that "brush_red" launches a projectile when used, triggered by a q.is_using_item inside an AC. But when using the /replaceitem command, the game thinks that I'm actually using the new item obtained, so it launches the projectile as soon as I get it.

Any clever ideas on how to solve this? I'm looking for an easy fix, so I don't have to change my entire system. Thanks!

[frank carbon]

A solution will involve either finding some way to delay the invocation of /replaceitem to after the state transition occurs, or to store the state of whether the player holds brush_red or not sometime before /replaceitem is invoked. I would probably go with the former

[sterile flint]

OK, but I don't know how to even start hahaha

[frank carbon]

If the entity interaction uses transform_to_item that might be tricky. What I suggest necessarily involves another system, like a "minecraft:timer" component or a behavior pack timeline

[sterile flint]

No no, the interaction just triggers a /replaceitem command inside an event

[frank carbon]

Oh right, duh. You literally just said this—sorry, made me lol

[sterile flint]

The state transition is triggered when I use "brush_red" on a regular basis. What I don't want is to transition to "is using" in the exact moment when I one item for the other

"brush", the first item that I need to use over an entity to change for "red_brush", doesn't have a projectile or any states whatsoever

My first idea is to create a blank animation with a similar duration of the vanilla "pick up item" animation and trigger that animation with a /playanimation command right before the /replaceitem. Then I can add a query to check if that specific animation has finished before the player uses the item to shoot the projectile. Since this animation will only play when you get the item, it won't shoot the projectile at that time, but you can shoot it any other time. But I'm not sure if you can check if a specific anymation has finished via queries, I've never done that before, just used all animations finished

[frank carbon]

That is a good thought, but I'm afraid to share that /playanimation has client-sided effects only. You cannot use it for timer logic in the behavior pack

But you're on the right track, you could certainly introduce a delay using server-sided animations

[sterile flint]

Hmm... How so?

I can also use a timer as you said. Since this AC that triggers the projectile is linked in the player.json (long story...), I can add a boolean property in that behavior file, set it to true with a /event command right before the /replaceitem command and, in the same event, set a component group with a small timer that, when finished, sets the property to false. So I can check the state of that property with a query too, and since that property will only be true when I replace the item, then it won't launch the projectile at that time, but it'll launch it any other time

Those where the main two ideas I had. But I came here thinking that there might be an easier fix for this. I mean, this can't be THAT tricky, right? 😅

[frank carbon]

I could see that working. I was going to suggest something somewhat like that earlier 😓

[sterile flint]

Yeah, but should I get to that? I mean, isn't there a more direct approach?

(btw thanks for the ideas!)

[frank carbon]

I'm not sure if there's a simpler solution. The problem inherently comes from the fact that q.is_using_item and the state transition is acting too slow, and the /replaceitem command changes the item before your state inspects the player's held item (I'm making an assumption here)

You could try a different query ...? Like q.main_hand_item_use_duration > 0, but I don't know if that will have any notable improvement

My thinking is it could somehow evaluate to true a tick sooner, since on the client it appears to act a couple of frames faster. But that's me being hopeful

[sterile flint]

I'll test that and let you know!

I've also tried solving this via scripts, by adding system run delays, but that didn't worked

[frank carbon]

I ran a test and they appear to act simultaneously :(

[sterile flint]

So the timer approach is the most likely solution, right?

[frank carbon]

I'll recreate your setup and fiddle around with some stuff, see if there's a simpler/better solution

Is it something like this? Some entity that, when interacted with, runs an event on the player that invokes /replaceitem; then an animation controller on the player that changes states when q.is_using_item evaluates to true, which then reads the player's held item (here I am using /execute, not sure what you use)

[sterile flint]

Is similar, I just have the replaceitem directly in the interactable entity, inside an event with a queue_command. And I use another player's event to trigger the projectile instead of en execute command. But it kinda works like that

[pseudo shale]

Hi, everyone! Is there a way to launch custom projectile if it doesn't have a runtime_identifier? I tried to do this with the command "summon xxx:projectile" and also with adding the component "minecraft:spawn_entity", but the projectile does not move after spawning

[sterile flint]

What's the fastest way to trigger a command when a projectile hits a NPC entity? (having in mind that since it's a NPC, it can't take damage)

[frank carbon]

@sterile flint Assuming that the plain brush is usable, the controller only switches states if I hold the Use key. Hitting it briefly while looking at the interactable entity does replace the item, yet it doesn't make the controller change states.

Is there anything else different about my setup from yours?

[sterile flint]

It's a large project, so there may be other things messing with it. But I just managed to prevent the switching to fire the projectile with a minecraft:timer component added to the player.json as we talked about yesterday

Now I'm facing a secondary issue: the "red_brush" can also be interacted with a specific block to replace that item for another one called "orange_brush". In this case, the "red_brush" does trigger a projectile, not like the "brush", which doesn't have any projectile attached

So in this case, I'm still unable to prevent to fire the red projectile when I interact with the "red_brush". I was able to prevent to fire the second projectile on the switch, meaning the projectile attached to "orange_brush", the same way I prevented to fire the "red_projectile" on the first switch. But since I already have the "red_projectile" item in hand, when I do right click to interact with the block to change the item for the orange one, it fires the first projectile no matter what

I've faced with this issue a couple of weeks before and I tried to solve it by trying to prevent to fire any projectile when the player interacts with this specific block (which is the one that does the item switching via scripting), but I haven't got any luck yet

So I just used "sneaking" to change the brushed and added a query to fire the projectile that checks if the player is not sneaking. So, when you're sneaking, you won't fire any projectile but you can switch the brushes

But to be honest, the audience for this project can have a hard time learning about the sneaking thing

It'll be confusing for them

So I rather just have them firing projectiles when trying to switch brushes (which won't do any harm more than just looking weird) than adding a secondary action (sneaking)

But if I have a way to solve this projectile firing thing, that'll be perfect

[frank carbon]

So from what I understand about the specification:

• the player is given a Brush item that rotates to various colors, each color being its own item;
• the colored Brushes fire projectiles on hitting the Use key;
• the player presses the Use key on some entity/block to switch Brush colors

Would it be unintuitive for users to perform the last instruction with the Attack key instead of the Use key? I'm not sure if that fits within the scope of your project, but that could avoid the problem entirely

[sterile flint]

That's exactly it. The switching is done by pressing the use key on different blocks (one for each color)

[sterile flint]

The last you mean the projectile firing?

Or the brush switching

If you mean the projectile firing, chaging that right now is not a possibility since it would mean to change a lot of files

[frank carbon]

Brush switching, yes

[sterile flint]

And if you mean changing brushes with the attack key, that was my first option

Let me tell you what I've tried and didn't worked

First, have in mind that this will be played in adventure mode, meaning that the world will be unbreakable, which also means that when a player attacks a block, is not registered as a hit. So I had to do some workarounds first to register an attack as a hit

That's easy to solve by a /give command with a "minecraft:can_destroy" NBT tag

So the hit will be registered

Now, what I did managed to do, is to use scripting to replace the brushes after a block breaking

But since I don't want to player to actually break the block, it won't do anything with just 1 hit

(I added a "minecraft:destructible_by_mining" with 9999 seconds, so the block won't break)

So if I find a way to change the brushes with just 1 hit to the block, with the specific brush in hand, that'll solve my problem

[frank carbon]

I believe there is an EntityHitBlockAfterEvent in scripting that is stable

[sterile flint]

Besides, I prefer not to have the same action button to switch the brushes and to fire the projectiles

Yes there is. Let me check with chatgpt if I can get a code working... (by the way, I'm new to scripting, so I've created every script with chatgpt and the help of some fellow dev 😅 )

Ok, at least this code is not working:

world.events.entityHitBlockAfter.subscribe(({ entity, item, block }) => {
  if (block.typeId === "let:maceta_flores_amarillas" && item?.typeId === "let:pincel_red") {
    entity.runCommandAsync("say item reemplazado");
  }
});```

GOT IT WORKING! @frank carbon

world.afterEvents.entityHitBlock.subscribe(({ damagingEntity: source, hitBlock: block }) => {
  if (source?.typeId === "minecraft:player") {
    const itemStack = source.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container.getItem(source.selectedSlotIndex);
    if (itemStack?.typeId === "let:pincel_red" && block.typeId === "let:maceta_flores_amarillas") {
      source.runCommandAsync("replaceitem entity @p slot.weapon.mainhand 0 let:pincel_orange");
    }
  }
});```

Now if I hit the block, it'll change to the brush!

[sterile flint]

@frank carbon done, I have the entire system working, left click to change the item, right click to shoot the projectile. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for motivate me to look into it!

[rigid kiln]

¿that train is using the Minecart Runtime?

[rain egret]

You don't need look_at_target, probably that component is interrupting the look_at_player component.

[rain egret]

controller.animation.goblin.attack has no initial_state

[strong tide]

Is it possible to make a boat like the vanilla one?

[wooden radish]

ooo, I should put "initial_state": "attacking", correct?

[rain egret]

where have you put your animations?

[rain egret]

yes

initial state: default

[wooden radish]

I cant send my animation file

[wooden radish]

rp | animations | <file>

[wooden radish]

default or attacking?

[rain egret]

🤷‍♂️

[rain egret]

Did you make sure that the animations folder does not have capital letters? Something like this "Animations"

[wooden radish]

yes none

should I make the animation file 1.10.0?

[rain egret]

I assume that the names of your animations match the names in the entity client

[wooden radish]

yes

[rain egret]

ok, there is a mistake in your animations

[primal hawk]

the look at player alone isnt working for me

[wooden radish]

the file? or the animations itself

[strong tide]

?

[rain egret]

you have manually manipulated your animations it seems

[wooden radish]

I combined the 3 animation files together into 1

blockbench gave me 3

[rain egret]

You have put an animation inside another

[primal hawk]

wait working now, just have to modify the time lol. thanks all

[wooden radish]

wdym?

the only animations I have are my goblin one and I put those all in 1 file

the one I snet

[rain egret]

This is fixed

[rain egret]

You don't need to set the angles

[wooden radish]

okay yes the old ones went away thank you! but I have some new ones

with the animation controllers

[rain egret]

try adding "loop": false in your attack animation and use version 1.10.0 in your animation controller,

[wooden radish]

omg i love u

[storm spire]

Does the on_attack parameter on the behavior.delayed_attack working

[wooden radish]

what did you use to fix the animations? i need to redo some of them

[rain egret]

Your animations were poorly organized, they were one inside the other, that was never going to work.

I just organized it

[rain egret]

I think it's bugged, it never worked for me

[storm spire]

Yeah I was trying to use it but it just don't work hope they fix it

[storm spire]

Had to rely on animation controllers

[rain egret]

Yes, that error has been there for more than a year without being fixed, I guess nobody reported the bug.

[strong tide]

is it not possible to replicate the vanilla boat?

[wooden radish]

any reason for this?

all my movement is so low

[storm spire]

Your movement value is too high

[wooden radish]

its 0.2?

[rigid kiln]

i want to make that the engine entities works like the Lifeboat Trains. like rotating to the rail direction without using the minecart Runtime, coupling them to a tender, coach, truck or other engine

[storm spire]

The speed multiplier when it has target

[wooden radish]

yeah its x1 shouldnt that times it by 1

[storm spire]

Wait why is your behavior.attacks priority is 0

[storm spire]

It should be alteast 3

[wooden radish]

oh shit i didnt even notice that

thank you

[storm spire]

Does anyone know how charge_charge range attack work I followed the documentation but it doesn't seem to work maybe I did something wrong

"minecraft:shooter": {
"def": "snowball"
},
"minecraft:behavior.ranged_attack": {
"priority": 3,
"attack_radius": 30,
"attack_radius_min": 0,
"burst_shots": 10,
"burst_interval": 0.5,
"charge_charged_trigger": 2,
"charge_shoot_trigger": 0.5,
"swing": true,
"set_persistent": true,
"attack_interval": 5,
"ranged_fov": 360
},

The goal is the entity should charge for 2 seconds before firing a baradge of attacks for 5 seconds and it will cooldown for a very long time cause it will only use this behavior once

[opaque coyote]

any idea of that problem?

[low talon]

Heyas! I'm trying to create something like a boat where you can ride it and move it around but I cannot get it to work. Is there something special I need to do or is this just impossible?

[storm spire]

Just copy the files of the boat in Minecraft and change its model

[storm spire]

Ayone know what this is

[low talon]

I have all but done that already... Could it be the family stuff? What precisely am I looking for in the components?

[storm spire]

The runtime identifier did you use boat

[low talon]

I don't want to clobber all the boats... sigh

But it is an interesting idea which I wasn't sure you could do because I definitely do want to clobber all the chickens and stop the egg laying every 5 minutes.

[rigid kiln]

¿someone knows how to make an animation controller or function that rotates the engine to the current rail specific direction?

[storm spire]

I think there is molang called q.target.body.x_rotation or q.target.eye.x_rotation that takes the rotation of your body and rotates the block you want to turn like the wheels

[storm spire]

Plss help me

[storm spire]

If your talking about animation in resource pack

[rigid kiln]

How can i do it in BP?

[storm spire]

You can use desired path where chooses a specific type of block to walk on

[tall shard]

Does distance_to_nearest_player filter inside a behavior component only check for the player that activates the component?

[sterile flint]

Hey guys, I have an entity that’s programmed to follow another entity by targeting it, but what I want to achieve is for Entity 1 to detect Entity 2 within a radius of 10, and then keep moving toward it until it gets within a radius of 1. In the behavior target component, what should I modify?

I’m not sure which specific instances I need to modify in the component to make this work

[boreal bear]

Im still new and have no idea how to script. But I think this could be achieved by taking the behavior of other mobs (baby, allay, tamed animals) and attach it to the entities json or behavior json.

Those can get pretty convoluted but easy enough to understand

I think you would just add it straight to its components. Component group if you want the behavior to be given in game

[boreal bear]

If you dm me, I can get a better idea of what you specifically want so I can work on it. I need an excuse to put things in the old experience folder.

[little cloud]

https://bedrock.dev/docs/stable/Entities#minecraft%3Atarget_nearby_sensor

[tropic plaza]

How can i have an entity play passive particles effects?

[sterile flint]

@little cloud should I get rid of the behavior nearest attackable target to use this use?

[cursive geyser]

how do i add animation applicable to a player that scales their root bone to 0

[sour escarp]

how do i change an entitie death sound?

[unborn sage]

I have an entity I want to change the .geo and the skins after a "hatching" event...I I can't figure out the render controls to make it work...it showing both .geo models and skins at the same time...how do I split them to different models for specific "component groups"

[storm spire]

In your hatch event add a component groups where it has this skin id and set the value whatever you want then in your resource pack create 2 types of render controllers one for the not hatch and 1 for the hatch the used the skin id component to detect if the skin id value is 0 this will be the render controllers etc.

[unborn sage]

Counfused....

So...I have 2 stages where it's an egg...them need to have mark varent 1.

[cursive geyser]

is it possible to make an animation that makes a player's model translucent

how do i create an animation

i have this:

{

    "animation.scale_root": {
      "loop": true,
      "bones": {
    "root": 0
      }
    }
  }
}

in rp/animations but i can't play it in-game (or then the animation itself is just broken)

[deep patio]

You want to use a render controller for this.

[drowsy swift]

@nova plume

[nova plume]

as i said set a to 0

[drowsy swift]

alright, how can i remove the hit sound?

in the entity.client thing?

[cursive geyser]

how do i make an entity drop its inventory's contents (like a player does) on death

[nova plume]

script

[drowsy swift]

"exe:dropInv": {"minecraft:transformation": {"drop_inventory": true}},

[nova plume]

sound_definitions

[drowsy swift]

not needed, prob

[drowsy swift]

he just have to use triggerEvent thing to give the entity this component group

[wanton dune]

Then unnecessary, just use the script entirely

[drowsy swift]

anyways,

[drowsy swift]

how?

[nova plume]

{
    "format_version": "1.14.0",
    "sound_definitions": {

        //don't use the namespace, just the name
        "name.hit":{"sounds": [""]}
   }
}

[drowsy swift]

im not entities expert

[nova plume]

in
RP\sounds\sound_definitions.json

[drowsy swift]

just "uranium.hit":{"sounds":[""]}?

[nova plume]

yeah

[drowsy swift]

and inside of the entity.client, i should add sound effects thing

and add the hit sound inside of it

right?

[nova plume]

mb it is
.hurt not hit

[drowsy swift]

alright

[nova plume]

no

[wanton dune]

No.

[drowsy swift]

double no

so its not "sound_effects":["hurt":"uranium.hurt"]

noticed.

[nova plume]

🤡 wait it is not sound_definitions

[drowsy swift]

[cursive geyser]

what is exe:dropInv

& where do i put this exactly

        "private": false
      },
        "minecraft:physics": {
      }
    }
  }
}

this is what i have rn

[drowsy swift]

"component_groups"

[cursive geyser]

in script if i try to get the equippable component of this entity it returns undefined

[drowsy swift]

i used that simple method, to drop the entity inventory

via scripts or commands

or anything

[nova plume]

rp/sounds.json

{
  "entity_sounds": {
    "entities": {
      "ie:name": {
        "events": {
          "death": "",
          "hurt": ""
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

[drowsy swift]

that can trigger the entity event

[cursive geyser]

do u know

[nova plume]

equippable not supported for none player entity

[cursive geyser]

what

do u mean

[nova plume]

it doesn't work

[cursive geyser]

you can't use equippable on anything other than player ??

is that what you mean

how come skeletons & zombies have armor equipped then and they can have offhand items

[nova plume]

you can't use it in scripting

[cursive geyser]

oh

commands work then?

wait nvm i couldnt use them

[nova plume]

yeah

[drowsy swift]

done

[drowsy swift]

but u can detect if the entity is wearing the specific armor right?

[nova plume]

with commands

[drowsy swift]

lemme check something

[drowsy swift]

so the RadShield Armor in my addon works only for the player, not other entities

other entities needs to be done using commands or functions, which i will not be doing

[nova plume]

yeah
commands can be used in scripting tho

[drowsy swift]

bec, why, just why would u make that armor for ur zombie pet something

[drowsy swift]

i know, but its pointless to make mobs wearing the protective armor to survive the radiation

[drowsy swift]

also, should i make the ore has its own particles via entity.client or via scripts?

the particles will always be played, so i think using entity.client will be slightly better than scripts

idk im not entities expert

[nova plume]

client entity

[cursive geyser]

what bone's scale do i set to 0 if i wanna hide whole player

{
    "format_version" : "1.8.0",
    "animations" : {
        "animation.scale_root" : {
            "loop" : true,
      "bones": {
        "scale": 0
      }
        }
    }
}

w this it looks like that

the arms, cape & torso are hidden but not legs or head

[cursive geyser]

can i make a render controller or wtv you use to change an entity's transparency to override invisibility

[vernal crown]

We can have the minecraft:loot component in component groups, right? Does that mean I can do different loot tables for, say, an angry bee and a not angry bee?

[formal veldt]

yes

all components can be in component groups

[vernal crown]

Cool, thanks!

[drowsy swift]

@nova plume js "particle_emitters": {"isotopic_uranium": "exe:isotopic_uranium"}, "particle_effects": {"isotopic_uranium": "exe:isotopic_uranium"}which one?

i, dont think i can make those particles playable in that way

hmmmm

i think i have to use an animation file, that will have a locator thing that is used to generate the particles

and using a "script": "per_animation" thing to generate the particles

entity.clientjs "animations": {"fog": "animation.isotopic_uranium.fog"}, "scripts": {"animate": ["fog"]}

animationjs { "format_version": "1.8.0", "animations": { "animation.isotopic_uranium.fog": { "loop": true, "animation_length": 1, "particle_effects": {"0.0": {"effect": "exe:isotopic_uranium"}} } } }

uh, why no particles?

[wanton dune]

You need to add in the client the "particle_effects": {
"<short name>": "<particle name>"
]
}

[drowsy swift]

this thing?

[wanton dune]

Uhuh

[nova plume]

particle_effects is just a short name for the particle so you can call it from the animation

[drowsy swift]

my brain hurts

[drowsy swift]

      "particle_effects": {"isotopic_uranium": "exe:isotopic_uranium"},
      "animations": {"fog": "animation.isotopic_uranium.fog"},
      "scripts": {"animate": ["fog"]}```?

[wanton dune]

Then in animations you use the isotopic_uranium

[drowsy swift]

just had to remove the exe: from the animation

itt should spawn the particles now right?

[wanton dune]

Should be

[wanton dune]

Among us

-# Sorry I can't resist it

[drowsy swift]

yah i see

[nova plume]

lol

[drowsy swift]

lemme see if it works,

i cant trust my luck

[wanton dune]

We can make a controllable drone in the next update because of the get movement thingy²

And it's accurate to detect wasd while the movements are disabled

[drowsy swift]

i can edit it now

way better

[wanton venture]

I want to make an entity attack that makes enemies approach peacefully to the attacker. Kinda like holding wheat makes cows follow the player. How can I make this?

Not easily possible, but you could use a damage sensor to detect projectile damage, check if the entity was put into a wall and make it unable to move with a component group.

[dusky kraken]

I just used egg runtime identifier but thank you

[wanton venture]

Ah, thought you wanted to make what you said, make the entity get stuck, not just create a projectile 👍

[storm spire]

Can someone help on how the entity that takes the texture of the ground works

[harsh fern]

i gotta learn how to do behaviors.. but is there a way to make an entity run towards the nearest of a certain type of entity if an event is triggered?

[clever fern]

Does anyone know how I can create an event that changes the player's hit box?

[clever fern]

I just did it

[tame willow]

anyone know why this does not work

i want make a scale with the property

but

[formal veldt]

that does not support molang.

[tame willow]

😦

[tame willow]

is there a way to do that or would i have to create 10 events and 10 components

[formal veldt]

10 component groups and events.

yup.

[tame willow]

okey

thankiu

[clever fern]

😱

[formal veldt]

you good?

seeing ghosts?

[storm spire]

Hitbox not collision?

[sterile flint]

Guys, what's the best way to make a phantom-like flying entity "fly" a vertical path set by different dummy markers, without doing weird spins between each target?

This is what it's doing right now. I want it to fly straight to the targets

Which components would you use to achieve a more linear path?

[wanton venture]

Can I make an entity shoot two projectiles at the same time?

[little cloud]

probably easier to fake it tbh

[sterile flint]

Fake it how?

[little cloud]

animation

[sterile flint]

That's something that came across several times, but I'm not quite sure how to do it

I mean, I'm not sure how to turn that path that you see in the video into an animation
