Entities General

[vale mantle]

It should be close to the "can_explode" or something similar

[hollow zinc]

Uh, this is wrong?

[mint gyro]

oksss

lemme check

[rain egret]

Yes, Your command has scriptevent, the id, but the message is missing

[snow thorn]

Guys my mob isn't moving and not doing any animation but all other functions are working

[placid sun]

is it possible to keep an entity rendered if you aren't looking at it

[charred cargo]

Entities will always be rendered when not looked at only
They stop being rendered when outside of render distance for the nearest player
Given that you mentioned render when not looking you probably want simulation distance instead, which is the distance from which an entity can not despawn

[placid sun]

I have armor stand entities with large attachables and when I look away from the armor stand(even if I'm within the attachables space) it disappears

[hazy crater]

I want to make my entity reflect my projectiles, I tried the minecraft:reflect_projectiles component but it only works with in games projectiles (arrows, tridents etc not with projectiles on my addon). my entity is in format version 1.16.0 btw. can someone help me to solve it ?

[charred cargo]

That's strange
If you can send a video of your situation, please do but either way, I suggest giving it the persistent component if it isn't there already

The component keeps an entity within simulation distance permanently, so it can't despawn

[charred cargo]

Ah, so that's what you meant
Why can't it just be an entity with a larger hitbox and not an armor stand

[placid sun]

Using attachables so it can be dyeable with cauldron

would just a regular entity make it where it doesn't disappear?

i just equipped it on regular entities and it still does the same, though im not sure if they are persistant

[charred cargo]

No, but a larger hitbox would, iirc

[safe drum]

For making entity not despawn even from far away:--
Persistent component + runtime_identifer: "minecraft:ender_dragon"

For make entity collidable / block-like entity:--
"minecraft:is_stackable": {} component + "minecraft:is_collidable": {} component + runtime_identifier: "minecraft:happy_ghast"

[steep swift]

Does anyone know why when an entity changes variant and is tied to a rope it does not come loose when it changes?

[covert sphinx]

have u tried adding the identifiers of the custom projectiles in the list?

also change the format to a latest ver

[hazy crater]

lmao yeah

[covert sphinx]

hmmmmm how strange

[hazy crater]

I can't, i need the damage sensor component to play an animation when my entity get hirt wich doesn't work on latest versions

[covert sphinx]

how do you do it?

you can still make it work by using an event that has queue_command

which plays the hurt animation

[hazy crater]

im doing that

[covert sphinx]

oh

[hazy crater]

but I found a way of doing that, I just set a timer that kills my projectile on r=5

[covert sphinx]

ah nice

-# just like what i did with my jetstream sam mob before

[rocky shadow]

how do i get my entity to vary in size? im making a new slime with custom animations

[steep swift]

Does anyone know why when an entity changes variant and is tied to a rope it does not come loose when it changes?

[rocky shadow]

its the same entity unless its a seperate entity file i believe

[hazy crater]

u can edit scale in animations

[bitter fractal]

has anyone used "minecraft:behavior.find_cover"?

seems broken

[viscid agate]

Apparently Title Text Generator doesn’t generate the cubes so you have to do cube by cube and until now I found out 🤯

[charred cargo]

You dont need the ender dragon runtime_identifier

[safe drum]

It makes it able to look at even at far away

[novel wind]

I want to make the player not move the left arm when he has a certain item in his offhand

How would that work?

[fading elm]

just use playanimation

[cursive geyser]

that wont hide their nametag

[fading elm]

you cant hide the nametag client sided

since the nametag data belongs to the entity

this is the only way it can be turned off

no other method exists

[scenic sandal]

how can i make a projectile smoothy come out of animation

how do i also make particles be static from an animation

[fast kraken]

Is there any documentation for the transport_items component from the copper golem?

I can't find it on the microsoft page

[formal veldt]

that will not hide their nametag when looking at them.

[fading elm]

I know

[fading elm]

thats why i said thus

[charred cargo]

Neither of your questions make much sense
Elaborate on both

[scenic sandal]

mb i meant smoothly

not smoothy

after i play an animation it shoots a projectile facing the direction im facing

following head rotation

[charred cargo]

Didn't even read that properly, lol

[scenic sandal]

so do u know how?

[charred cargo]

So you want a projectile that faces the direction that you are looking at when you shoot it, correct

Assuming yes, then use the query query.target_x_rotation and query.target_y_rotation in an animation for the projectile

[indigo ether]

why does my entity keep attacking the target after it becomes invalid while having persist_time: 0.0?

[somber breach]

Hi, I have an entity that I want to have multiple attacks. I’m currently working on the first one besides the basic one, which I want to be a knockback charge around itself. I want the multiple attacks to be chosen by probability. Logically, this should only happen when the entity is in combat. I had the behavior set to choose an attack every [3, 6] seconds and everything was fine, but when the mob faces multiple enemies, it constantly reassigns a target, so on_target_acquired (which is the component I’m using to detect when it enters combat) keeps adding the timer, making it never actually trigger the event.

I tried using target_nearby_sensor, but it seems to have the same issues. Isn’t there a better way to detect when an entity enters and exits combat to avoid these problems?

[ruby cape]

Isn't there an interval parameter that controls the reselect target?

[modern hawk]

How would I detect if an entity is in lava and update a property from it? I know that there's this snippet:

                    "filters": {
                        "test": "in_lava",
                        "subject": "self",
                        "operator": "==",
                        "value": true
                    },

which is used most commonly to detect entities being in lava to do damage to them, but could I use this to assign an entity property?

[kind charm]

Yes.

Environment sensor to trigger an event.

[modern hawk]

Alright, thank you!

[bleak fossil]

#1428766283838525601 help would b appreciated thanks!!

Does anyone have a good explanation on how tick_world works?

[grim mural]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/entitycomponents/minecraftcomponent_tick_world?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[scenic sandal]

why is it it when i play a custom animation on the player players legs dont get animated and stay still

[indigo ether]

is there a component that makes a mob un-targetable?

or something that makes one forget its target based on filters

[rocky shadow]

how do i get my animation controller to play a particle while the mob is jumping only? i have the animations done and the particle set up but it only plays once and then dosnt play at all afterwards

[barren plover]

Is it possible to have a entity without a collision box? I want to place blocks on the same block the entity is on

[rain egret]

Just set your collision box component to 0 and 0

Or do you mean something else?

[barren plover]

there is still a hit box

[rain egret]

It shouldn't be like this

Maybe you are using custom hit test

[barren plover]

I have this, but I can still hit it and I can't place any block therejson "minecraft:collision_box": { "width": 0.0, "height": 0.0 }, "minecraft:custom_hit_test": { "hitboxes": [ { "pivot": [0.0, 0.0, 0.0], "width": 0.0, "height": 0.0 } ] }

[vital badge]

Is it possible to have an entity that deals damage and has life based on mathematics? Because normally you have to use a group of components with health and attack already defined.

[wanton venture]

You will need a combination of component groups and scripting for that, as I don’t think those components support Molang.

[fast kraken]

Does someone know why my custom entities sometimes attack other entities of the same type when they get too close?

The entities don't even have the hurt_by_target behavior

[vale mantle]

Do they have family types that they have as nearest attackable target?

[ivory trench]

Is there any way to change the amount of gravitational force applied to an entity? Basically similar to how a chicken falls slower

[fast kraken]

They don't have nearest_attackable_target

[night scarab]

Is it possible to make a Lead work on players?

[formal veldt]

add the leashable component to the player and find out

[gleaming crypt]

Guys, As I understand, minecraft:biome_filter for spawn rules, is used so that in order to get the exact biome you want, you need to create an all_of and test for all tags that the biome contains?

[formal veldt]

each biome has a tag for its exact biome type I believe.

for an example, the mangrove swamp has the mangrove_swamp tag.

so just use that tag.

[gleaming crypt]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/definitions/nestedtables/biome_filter?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable
From here i can see that not all biomes have their specific tag, for example Frozen river

[formal veldt]

right, my bad.

what biome are you aiming for?

frozen river?

[gleaming crypt]

yes, lets say that one

i need mulitple, but i am trying to find a pattern that works

[formal veldt]

so check for the river tag, and the frozen tag.

[gleaming crypt]

ok, so now if i want a mob to spawn in a couple of specific ones, can i nest any of and then inside have all of for each biome?

i hope you understand what I am trying to ask?

[formal veldt]

yes

you can

[gleaming crypt]

great

thanks a lot

[hushed venture]

Hello, I would like to ask how to make an animation play when there is a certain nametag on the entity.

[spare peak]

How do I remove humanoid entities raising their arms when they go into attack mode

[steel jasper]

Is there a max safe number of boxes in an entity's GEO file? Like is 300 too much?

[charred cargo]

Depends on how many cubes are within a certain space

If they're all close together then it'll cause more lag, so it varies from model to model

I've had models with 2k cubes work perfectly fine and ones with 400 give intense momements of 2 frames over 3 seconds

[rain egret]

There is no limit, it also depends on the device, but if we generalize 400-1000 cubes if it is too many. Probably if you are far away it will not affect performance, but if you get closer to the entity it will start to fail, also if you have too many entities together.

[hazy crater]

please ping me if you find out 🙏

[fading elm]

are ppl still overlapping anims

[white shale]

?

[vale mantle]

Can I give a custom armor stand entity a component group?

[charred cargo]

Its an entity. Why couldn't you?

[vale mantle]

Brain fart

Yeah it's at the bottom of the armor stand's json

[rocky shadow]

any one understand how varables work for entity animations? im trying to do a shulker like mob that opens and closes like the shulkers idle but when i add any variables it just kinda freaks out lol

[gloomy crag]

Can someone help me? is possible to keep the inventory using transformation component?

[bleak fossil]

Anyone know how to make the shadow of my mob smaller :// i thought it would b convenient to use the file resources to make a custom mob and yet they lack features like eating animations and galloping. What a bummer

[charred cargo]

If you make a smaller hitbox, the shadow will be smaller

[bleak fossil]

It has the same hitbox as the horse and yet its still bigger 😦

[rain egret]

The minecraft:scale component also affects the hitbox, check that everything is correct.

[charred cargo]

That's a good idea, honestly

[bleak fossil]

Alrr i will, will update soon:)

Where can i find it btw? The entity client resource file? Bc i can't seem to find it

Oof i don't think my code has that, just scale by age and it's in the baby variant component group

[bleak fossil]

I don't think my mob has that component

[bleak fossil]

I commend coders literally, im only on this shadow thing and haven't even added custom animation controllers yet. I'm so cooked

[charred cargo]

If you still need it i can send it to you

[bleak fossil]

Yes pls

[ruby cape]

is worldbuilder in the 'has_ability' filter equivalent to Creative and Spectator mode?

[charred cargo]

The horse resource files

[bleak fossil]

O yeah ik that lol, my mob is derived from the v3 one

[bleak fossil]

I think im putting the shadow thing aside for now. I added the happy ghast flying feature for my unicorn and it works-ish lol

Unfortunately the unicorn mobs vanish whenever I exit the game and reload, i have no idea what's happening lol. Maybe it's bc it has a ton of bugs atm?

[bleak fossil]

Update, fixed the chair position :pp

Tho it stays afloat even after i leave the mob, and it still vanishes when i leave the world

[charred cargo]

Try adding the persistent component

It stops entities from despawning when out of simulation distance

[subtle glade]

Can someone help me?
The locator is in front of the player's face, but the particles only appear inside the player's head

[bleak fossil]

Nope, it still vanishes. Maybe its bc i there's something in the code

[charred cargo]

If you could share the code, it could help towards finding a solution
I get that's it's essentially a one to one of the original horse behaviour, but just to be sure

[vale mantle]

What if it's named?

[neat sky]

It just works like that. It's a bug that's been there for ages

[subtle glade]

Is there any way to fix this bug?

[bleak fossil]

sure thingg

[bleak fossil]

I feel that the problem is within the new code that i added, idk

[neat sky]

Not that I'm aware of

[charred cargo]

Not at all
Attachables in general have a few bugs to their name so expect more

[subtle glade]

Oh, okay

[subtle glade]

Ah, Alright

Thnks

[charred cargo]

Np

[wild vault]

is there any ice and fire add on / or one for bedrock that adds the dragons ?

[bleak fossil]

Btw what did u find? I've hit a roadblock :/

[robust finch]

guys, any ideas on how to control the horse's movement by pressing a key? For example, when mounted, the horse walks at a normal speed, and when the control key is pressed, it runs.

[gaunt harbor]

how to reskin minecraft npcs with a custom skin pack or somewhat

[charred cargo]

What in the delay
More importantly what sounds more like the pack name rather than the animation you want to be made

[gaunt harbor]

sorry im trying to learn a million things at once

[bleak fossil]

Mood lol

[charred cargo]

It's fine
Id you could explain what the model is or what the animation is that would help with understanding the problem better

[charred cargo]

Also, I couldn't find anything either tbh
You might want to try removing random components until you find one that stops the problem from happening, or attempt to find other people who've experienced the same thing and found a solution because it makes no sense to me

[gaunt harbor]

i got the file and stuff i followed all 3 tutorials and rn im a road blocker because i have a error in 3 spots that i dont know hwo to fix

now since i just fixed 1 i got it in 2 spots now

[charred cargo]

Can you show the errors

[gaunt harbor]

sure

keep saying this as well

keeps saying this about my behavior pack

but this is my behavior script

How do you make an entity shoot a projectile by interacting with them, with no items

I see, thanks for helping anyways!

[storm forum]

is there a way to control the turning rate of an entity's body?
asuming the target of the entity is outside of it's range, the entity will look at the target and slowly turn it's body to it until both head and body are aligned, I want to control that body turn rate

[ruby cape]

is there way to change the type of spawn egg for an entity based on its properties? I want to be able to 'pick' and entity's spawn egg with the same properties

[kind charm]

No.

Nvm I found a way

Hello everyone I'd like to know if anyone has a boat template? Boats without a chest, and with a chest. I just used the boat code that is in the game files, but it didn't work. So I thought maybe someone has a template here

[vernal vault]

how do I make jumping and falling animations like Actions and Stuff?

[gaunt harbor]

hey smokey is there anyway to make it so the requirements are both a tag and level requirement?

{
"format_version":"1.16.100",
"animation_controllers":{
"controller.animation.h_haki":{
"states":{
"default":{
"transitions":[
// Level 1 or above with learning Conqueror's Haki 1
{"h_haki_1":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')<1 && q.tag >= "Hao""},
// Level 50 or above with learning Conqueror's Haki 2
{"h_haki_2":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')<2 && q.player_level >= 50"},
// Level 100 or above with learning Conqueror's Haki 3
{"h_haki_3":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')<3 && q.player_level >= 100"},

        // Already learned Conqueror's Haki 1, below level 1
        {"h_haki_1_lost":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')>=1 && q.player_level < 1"},
        // Already learned Conqueror's Haki 2, below level 50
        {"h_haki_2_lost":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')>=2 && q.player_level < 50"},
        // Already learned Conqueror's Haki 3, below level 100
        {"h_haki_3_lost":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')>=3 && q.player_level < 100"}
      ]
    },

[kind charm]

Does this not work?

Just keep adding more && conditions.

[gaunt harbor]

not sure i just change the first one to q.tag Hao

but didnt know how to add the level requirement either

like in the same line

like you see how th esecond one says q.play_level

[kind charm]

Yeah just keep adding more &&

[gaunt harbor]

i also want to add the q.tag in there

but dont knwo how

[kind charm]

q.has_tag && q.level && q.property

Or whatever.

[gaunt harbor]

ima test it

wait

how would that work if

{"h_haki_1":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')<1 && q.has_tag && q.level && q.property >= "Hao""},

ye im confused

cause how would i add Hao and level near wouldnt it be

{"h_haki_1":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')<1 && q.has_tag >= "Hao"" && q.level && q.property >= 50"},

ima try it

[kind charm]

Yeah.

Well no.

Make sure it's the right molang query.

[gaunt harbor]

what does that mean

[kind charm]

.

I didn't type the full query because I was on mobile.

[gaunt harbor]

what do you mean by full query

[kind charm]

It means the proper query.

[gaunt harbor]

so where is it proper or full to place && q.player_level >= 50" at

[kind charm]

q.property('op_asa:h_haki')>=3 && q.player_level < 100 && q.any_tag('Hao')

[gaunt harbor]

hmm ima try it

[turbid oracle]

Can anyone help me with the entity.material file

[gaunt harbor]

{"h_haki_1":"q.property('op_asa:h_haki')<1 && q.has_tag >= "Hao" && q.player_level >= 50"},

every time i try to put it in there it pops up errors

[kind charm]

Because that's not how you do it.

[gaunt harbor]

oh

how do i fix it in there

[kind charm]

.

[gaunt harbor]

i get that

but how to put it properly inside the line im in

when i try to paste that in there it doesnt work

[gaunt harbor]

@kind charm ?

[kind charm]

I've given you all the help I can. It's up to you now to learn Bedrock development properly.

[gaunt harbor]

dawg

[bleak fossil]

Heyy does anyone know why this won't work? I'm trying to make it detect anything that does not have a "red_candle" family type. I think im confusing the minecraft format versions lol, It's currently in the 1.16.0 format

[bleak fossil]

Maybe it's bc my use_item is string or something? Lemem check

It wasn't rip, if i can't fix this i might try "has_compnent" instead

[bleak fossil]

IT WORKS NOW YAY!!:D

Afaik vanilla, only baby piglins ride.

[stiff plaza]

I'm trying with the vanilla piglin

the later-addded timer component overwrites the previous one

[vale mantle]

I see, thank you. I suppose this doesn't work if it is looping

How can I change the leash position for an entity that doesn’t originally have a leash component?

iirc just add locator to the model and rename it to lead

[stiff plaza]

do i have to add something for a non-player rider to be able to control it's mount?

i want hostile mobs like zombies and piglins be able to control hoglins, but even when they have a target and are currently trying to reach it, the hoglin does whatever it wants

[outer wraith]

im trying to make it so certain entities only spawn in dungeons, im doing this by making a custom invis block called dp:mine_dungeon_spawn and making a spawn rule where they only spawn on that block but when testing nothing spawns, would it be something like this:

"format_version": "1.8.0",
"minecraft:spawn_rules": {
"description": {
"identifier": "dp:mine_zombie",
"population_control": "monster"

if it matters the block dosent have a hit-box

No...?

Don't take it personally

I don't accept DMs from strangers, sorry

[candid bay]

How can I make my floating text like not look at you and be like static looking in a direction

?

[silent wadi]

maybe use the component for look at player and set everything to seem like zero chance. There may be a default turned on and you need to define your own to override it.... that is just my guess.

[silent wadi]

Don't you just hate it when you delete your damage sensor component and spend time tryna figure out where your entities are and why they go poof in front of you....

[gaunt harbor]

so this is the channel to add scripts and animation to entitys?

[glacial summit]

does has_equipment_tag only work on players? I was trying to use it on an entity that is given equipment from a loot table and it won't detect

actually, I can't seem to detect any of the equipment for some reason

[glacial summit]

nevermind, I forgot to change some things around.

[bleak fossil]

Does anyone know how to run both run_command and add/remove components feature at the same time for minecraft:interact? I tried just leaving them in, nothing happened. I also tried sequencing them but nothing happened either. The format version is 1.16.0 and i cant change it because I'm using a niche component that can only be found there. Pls help!

By "nothing happened", i meant the interact button isn't showing up

[covert sphinx]

run_command is invalid now

its been renamed as queue_command

also. change your format version to 1.21.0

[bleak fossil]

Well i did say that I'm strictly using 1.16.0 for a specific reason lol

[kind charm]

What component?

[bleak fossil]

find player mount, the ones parrots use

[kind charm]

If you can't use run_command I would just use Scripting API to detect entity event being fired then run the command.

[bleak fossil]

Oh i see, I'll try to look into that. Thx!

[storm forum]

is it possible to create an animation controller that plays another animation controller in its states?

[charred cargo]

This should be possible as conditionally playing a controller is possible in other ways, essentially, so long as you define it correctly nothing should stop it from working

[wanton oar]

how can i make my entity solid?

like the happy ghast?

[rocky shadow]

Colision box, or colliable

Cant remember

[wanton oar]

I can't find it

[kind charm]

Look at the happy ghast

[wanton oar]

just find it ty

How do I lock player rotation without making the camera super sensitive

I tried the same as the boat and If the player is not facing on a 90 angle the camera and the entity spin like crazy

[vernal vault]

how do I make muiltiple textures stack onto each other? Learning Render controllers has been troubling

[slow swallow]

is anyone able to help me out with this error? I cant figure it out for the life of me.
it seems to be coming from the sheep but im not over riding the locators at all.

10:22:39[Geometry][error]-Error: locator armor_offset.default_neck already exists with different values - using existing locator? offset:0.000000,14.000000,4.000000 vs 0.000000,10.000000,4.000000

[slow swallow]

honestly im in the same boat. ive been trying to create dynamically layered textures but it doesnt seem to work for me. not even if i try to model it after the horse

[kind charm]

Check out the Horse?

[kind charm]

Does your entity have multiple geometries controlled via render controller by any chance?

[slow swallow]

well, im trying to make other entities, render like the horse, with base texture selected by variant, overlay controlled by mark or skin id and then also be able to lets say, recolor the saddle with an additional texture array to choose from based off interaction the could be selected with existance of another component or propery

or even just one over lay texture ahaha like adding muds to pigs if theyre variant 1 or something

TLDR; im testing this with multiple entities, so some do, and some dont.

[slow swallow]

yea my entity had multiple geos. here:

its based off the sheep so im using the same inheritance setup

[kind charm]

Yeah, it's an issue with locators in general when theres multiple geometries.

Adding the same locators but with 1/2/3 appended should alleviate it.

[slow swallow]

As in just add a locator with empty values??

I was having this error with other entities but the inadvertently got fixed while i was tackling other bugs, so i could tell you how.

[slow swallow]

^

[kind charm]

Model 1 should have armor_offset.default_neck
Model 2 should have armor_offset.default_neck2

[slow swallow]

ahh my bad, morning brain lol

so just to be clear, which bone should I be adding these to?
I cant find references for that specific locator anywhere in the vanilla files except for in the player file. they should be call "armor_offset_default_neck" & "armor_offset_default_neck_2"?

[kind charm]

Literally anywhere and yeah. It's one of those default locators each model inherently gets.

[slow swallow]

Awesome! thanks so much ill touch back in if im still having issues with it.

I was assuming it was just being inherited, couldnt figure out how to stop it tho lol

just realized I accidentally sent the vanilla geo over.

heres mine:

[slow swallow]

Im still getting the bug?

models are over my head clearly lol

heres my currect geo:

[slow swallow]

lol yea couldnt tell ya. i have 2 versions of the sheep, one with horns one without, i have custom geometry that im using for both which is based off the vanilla geo. for some reason that is happening lol

[vernal vault]

In my case it’s just different textures using the same geometry, I do NOT want to even start with different geometries 😭

[tame bobcat]

I'm so confused. My dummy entity for a projectile was working fine. I accidentally deleted it re-pasted it in from my other pc and now I'm getting [Actor][error]-error parsing entity/entity_name.json:. I've seen others get it usually there is actual information attached to the error message. And apparently this error message is usually due to a missing bracket etc. and I can 100% verify that my json is fine.

[vernal vault]

how do I do that?

I don't know how to access Vanilla files

[wanton venture]

Make sure to check that you are not using an outdated or cached version of the pack

[tame bobcat]

As per hocus pocus it just fixed itself on reboot of the game ;-;

Thanks though

[wanton venture]

Haha that must’ve been it. Your game was probably using an outdated version and reloading fixed it.

[wanton oar]

How can I make an entity that behaves like a block

Like rotation and placement

[wanton venture]

Use minecraft:body_rotation_blocked and minecraft:rotation_axis_aligned

[slow swallow]

any way i can get some clarification on how to/mandatory requirements for layering textures dynamically on entities? like horses?

it dont seem to work when i set it up like the horse.

[wanton venture]

Have you seen the horse code and model? If so, did you made sure your custom mob follows the same pattern?

[slow swallow]

i have seen it yea, ive been working with addons for over a year and for some reason that seems to be the one thing that i cant get to function. believe me, ive very carefully studied the horse render controllers and behaviors, but for some reason I cant get texture over lays to work.

im obviously missing something small.

[slow swallow]

If I use, lets say:

in Entity File:

materials:
horse_leather_armor

scripts:
in initialize or pre-animations
v.base = q.variant
v.overlay = q.mark_variant

Array.base
base textures

Array.overlay
overlay textures

textures:
Array.base[v.base]
Array.overlay[v.overlay]

That should be enough to make it function correct?

[wooden radish]

        "minecraft:damage_sensor": {
            "triggers": [
                {
                    "on_damage": {
                      "deals_damage": false,
                        "event": "jay:zombie_hit",

                }
            ]
        },```Why isnt deals_damage working?

i got it^

[slow swallow]

is there anything wrong with that general setup^^?

[wanton venture]

Client side I think so, but BP also needs things.

[slow swallow]

yea of course .Ive gotten all mark variant and variant components added into my entity behaviors aswell.
is there anything else thats required to actually have textures overlay on top of other textures? like the trader camel essentially?

[gaunt harbor]

where do i find people that know how to make pixels for pngs etc

[candid bay]

how can i remove the ai from wither json so it doesnt attack people i already removed all the components but its still attacking

[wanton oar]

how can i make my entity jump fences or 1.5 blocks

[slow swallow]

like make textures? lol

[wanton venture]

The model! If you have them setted up properly, it should work fine

[gaunt harbor]

yea

[wanton oar]

are locators broken with entities?

[kind charm]

Only on players and attachables.

[wanton oar]

is there a tutorial or something i can read because i can't make them work

the animations plays but not the particles

[charred cargo]

Wait, since when were they broken on players?
I knew about attachables, but players?

[pure vault]

They needa fix it fr

[charred cargo]

Cause people have always said "Attachable locators are broken, you'llneed to edit the player.entity.json file to use particles", so to suddenly hear that players are broken too
Is this because of the newest update with all of the bugs and stuff?

[pure vault]

Yeah idk dude atp they might as well remove it since its not possible anymore apparently

[slow swallow]

I could make some texture for u!

[wanton oar]

Is it possible to recreate armor stand rotation with custom entities?

[vale mantle]

I just started as an animator, how do I make this breathing idle animation look natural? Is it the legs and feet that ruin it?

[rain egret]

Also, try to make sure that the movement of the limbs and the breathing don't always coincide; also use the scale to enlarge and shrink the chest

[rain egret]

But I think your animation looks good; it's difficult to achieve that with just cubes.

[vale mantle]

I tried 🥀

[rain egret]

When someone breathes, their shoulders rise slightly.

[vale mantle]

I try add that

I guess I should cuz she's upper chest breathing 🤷‍♂️

[rain egret]

The right arm moves in sync with the breathing; it doesn't look very natural.

[vale mantle]

Now it looks like she's out of breath

[rain egret]

Is this supposed to be an injury? Or is it just resting?

[vale mantle]

Idle state .3.

Just chilling.

[rain egret]

His breathing is too fast, he seems to be hyperventilating.

[vale mantle]

🥀

[rain egret]

But anyway, I think the previous animation is fine; I think you're over-demanding a hyper-realistic animation with just 4 cubes.

[vale mantle]

I'll go jump in a ditch and see what I can do 🥀

[vale mantle]

I'm making 3 idle animations, one with just chilling with the arm, another with the wiping (longer part of the first idle) and another with both hands down.

[rain egret]

I recommend using a separate animation for breathing, without arm movement, time at 0:00 and loop=true, use math.cos and math.sin, something like math.cos(query.life_time * 120) * 10

[vale mantle]

How do breathe if only 1 node?

[rain egret]

I don't know what you mean by node

[vale mantle]

Ike

[vale mantle]

Do the math do the work or like. Do i have to set up the starting position for like, breast and torso movement?

My brain's not ready for this ima go buy food

[rain egret]

If you use query.life_time, you don't need a start and end time; I think that's what you mean. You should try it.

[vale mantle]

Okayy

[rain egret]

You can control the speed where I've put 120, and where I've put 10 you control the range of movement, whether it's rotation, movement, or scale.

If the breathing animation is independent, then the movement of the arms and legs will not affect your animation.

Good luck, I have to go

[scarlet zinc]

can an entity acquire targets without an attack behaviour?

This is for q.has_target molang querry

[vale mantle]

Needs nearest attackable component, movement speed, and some way to attack. You could add delay attack with 999 cooldown

[wanton oar]

Anyone knows what animation defines the position of the items in players hand

[rigid kiln]

Hey,
I'm trying to make a hostile entity perform a straight-line ramming attack without using the "minecraft:battering_ram" component. Here's an example of what I mean:

[wanton venture]

You can use minecraft:behavior.ram_attack

[rigid kiln]

i mean without that component

because sometimes it didnt´t work

[covert sphinx]

i found out how to make it always work

[rigid kiln]

How?

[covert sphinx]

dm me

[scarlet zinc]

gatekeeping entity behaviour now? 😭

[golden sand]

How can i make my fishy entity swim underwater? (like a salmon for example)

[covert sphinx]

IM NOT 😭

just dont wanna flood the channel

also afaik there was a post in #1067869022273667152 where i explained how it works but it expired or sum

[wanton oar]

does anyone know why when I pause the game my attachable just changes it's position?

[kind charm]

It could be querying something and when it's paused it loses context.

[wanton oar]

this is all my code

I'm using the one provided in the wiki

Hello👋
Short question regarding Blockbench animations:
It is unclear to me, why I sometimes cannot set the key frame in my animation right to 0.1 (it will snap to something like 0.833). I have more than one animation on this model and the other animations snap to something like 0.1, but cannot have key frames on 0.25

Any help is very appreciated 😅

[proud ridge]

I have a dummy entity for my chair block. How do I hide the health bar from appearing when riding it?

[charred cargo]

Not many people know this, but there's a command for this
/hud @s hide horse_health
To reset it to normal, use:
/hud @s reset horse_health

[covert sphinx]

do you know a way to make an entity force ride the player

without using scripts

[neat sky]

You can use the /ride command, but I suppose the entity needs to have the parrot_tame family to be compatible with the player's rider filter

[covert sphinx]

but the entity is the ride in this case

lol

so

it'll work on any mobs.

but if i have to be specific then my entity can only force ride players and pillagers

but

the method i came up with

wasn't working

[haughty pine]

can we not use inventory of an entity if its being ridden by some entity?

like we cant even access it?

[formal veldt]

you can make the hearts not show by making the health just 1

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

[robust finch]

Hi guys, anyone knows if it’s possible to achieve flying on a mob while riding like creative? Space bar to go up and some other key to go down?

sigh

[charred cargo]

If you haven't figured it out yet, you need to change the snapping setting in the animation

[scarlet hornet]

Haven't figured it out, even after searching for the option in blockbench. Could you give me a hint, where I can find this setting in the "Animate"-tab in blockbench?

[charred cargo]

Its a setting for the animation itself in blockbench
By double tapping the screen in mobile or double left click (I think) on pc this menu will pop up

ooooh, thank u so much ☺️

[turbid oracle]

Can anyone help me with dropped item Physics in RPs

I want them to lay flat Instead

Like this pretty much

Pls tag me if yk

[safe drum]

just make a animation to rotate them flat and apply the animation in item.json, basically a client entity file with the id minecraft:item

[turbid oracle]

Idk how

Can you help me (nrn cuz I'm in school atm)

[safe drum]

no

I just told you everything

[turbid oracle]

Okay

Ty

[nova sail]

how tf can i make husks drop sand without making regular zombies drop it too.. they share the same dang loot_tables file..

[pure vault]

Make a new loot table and assign it to the husk

[nova sail]

litterally figured it out just as i checked this, haha thanks

[vernal vault]

how can I code something like this?

I never got to fix the "Unknown" at the top of my mob's inventory.

[wooden radish]

pretty sure unknown is bc of lang files

[indigo ether]

is there a difference between the sequence and directly adding/removing component groups?

"sequence": [
   {
      "remove": {}
   },
   {
      "add": {}
   }
]

and

"remove": {},
"add": {}

[vernal vault]

yeah i assume so too but I don't know how to fix it, I've tried almost everything

[rain egret]

no

[vale mantle]

Is there a way to detect if an entity lands a successful hit and run an event?

[lofty wedge]

So I made a entity that you can ride so can I change the animation of the player I don't want the player to sit I want the player walking normally like nothing happened but it riding a entity

[warm tendon]

You'd need to replace all instances of query.is_riding in the player's animation controller with query.is_riding&&!query.is_riding_any_entity_of_type('minecraft:horse'), replacing minecraft:horse with your entity's identifier

[silent wadi]

Just sharing my tiny little fireflies that hang around the bush. I have to wait for daylight to tell mine from the particles, except I do not have the brightness down yet. They are for my tree spider to eat. A few get spawned when he finds the bush after his hunger is turned on..

[wanton venture]

They are so cute

[silent wadi]

yeah, they are, and they got perks.... when killed, will loot orbs, prismarine shards or crystals.. though I may change to mini sea lanterns nubs (add 9 for full block)

[glacial summit]

Do we have any molang queries that I can use in render controllers to determine whether the entity is a mob or player? Also trying to figure out how to track charge time for custom bows on skeletons and none of the use duration queries seem to work either

[wanton venture]

Did you tried q.is_local_player

[glacial summit]

Issue is these are being ran on the bow's render controller

so those all just throw errors

the vanilla bow using query.get_animation_frame

but tbh I'm not even sure if the skeleton uses these or if it's hardcoded

I might just have to live with skeleton not having a bow pull animation. Not like it helps anyways when entity actual locations are so disconnected from the visual aspect when fired as a projectile

well this is an interesting error

[glacial summit]

mb, query does work if I do it from the bow and just use a variable

use duration does not seem to work though

[tardy stratus]

how can i make it equip armor like the armor stand?

[rocky shadow]

is their any way to make a stationary entity attack without it being ranged or shooter? im trying to make a stationary construct mob that either summons other construct like mobs to attack or have a bash attack

[wanton venture]

Did you tried query.main_hand_item_use_duration?

[wanton venture]

You can use scripting to check item in hand when interacted. If they are usable items, move them to the entity's inventory

[wanton venture]

You need to add the basic pathfinding components to your mob, as it needs to be able to create a path towards it's target to attack still.

[proud ridge]

Why does rotating on my rideable entity suddenly snap my models rotation at a certain point? I'm trying to make it so my character can freely look around without the janky snapping

[rocky shadow]

Ive gotten it kinda working but its going to have a few different phases for the entity so im not really sure how to do all that. Its like the 4th real entity ive made and its a little complex for me atm. Theres not really any documentation for ehat im trying to do from what ive seen.

[wanton venture]

Create a post and ask your questions

[wanton venture]

Do you got a video of what you mean?

[proud ridge]

Not right now. Ride a minecart in 3rd person and turn 360°. The player model will rotate fully without any issues. Then ride a custom entity and try it. Once you rotate to a certain point, the character model stops rotating before snapping back into place.

[wanton venture]

Ah, I see

I’m not sure if there is a solution to that

[fervent whale]

I believe there is some property that u can access/modify using scripting. Are you familiar with script api btw?

[fervent whale]

well if you need to check is_player or not from the client side (aka resource pack), modifying player.json is probably one of the solution

only if you are willing to modify player.json, some packs dont allow modifying built-in vanilla sources

[tardy stratus]

Yep

[true schooner]

copies are monochrome

[minor nymph]

It there a way to get more creeps and weirdos on bedrock

Is it possible to set the range of a float property from -infinity to +infinity?

[tardy stratus]

how do I make my entity pickup and equip items?

[fervent whale]

if you are familiar with scripting, you can use equippable components

[fervent whale]

no idea, what's ur goal anyway

[tardy stratus]

When I try to get the component, it returns undefined.

[strong tide]

Entities cannot execute the /place command? I'm trying but nothing happens and the event is being triggered, and if I try to use the command it works.

[covert sphinx]

it can't

afaik

[strong tide]

Well, I opted to use a script; it will execute the /scriptevent, and thus the script will use the placeFeature.

[covert sphinx]

did it work?

Yea work

ok nice

[night kraken]

Can someone explain locators to me? I don't understand how to tell the game what they do/what they're used for. They do particles through render controllers but apparently do held items as well and I'm confused as to how the game knows that [this locator] means render the mainhand item [here]

[proud ridge]

Is it possible to make entities visible through blocks?

[alpine jacinth]

Can i make an entity not be pushed by water?

[frank carbon]

Yes, it needs a custom material whose depthFunc is "Always". I'd start by reviewing the first article below, then look up the "entity.material" file in the vanilla resource pack (the one found in the game files, C:/XboxGames), find the base material you want to use, then set the depthFunc property.
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/visuals/materials
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/documentation/material-config-description

[frank carbon]

Depends. Do you know where the entity should be? (is it a fixed position) If so, you could teleport the entity to that location every tick. Probably the simplest solution for this.

Otherwise I would look into using different runtime identifiers that can fix it into place. It's a lot of work to use, but the runtime "minecraft:area_effect_cloud" might be what you are looking for.
https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/introduction-to-aec

[fervent whale]

try replaceitem command

[fervent whale]

it is basically just a component in which you can attach ur particle/items to, whats more?

[proud ridge]

@frank carbon Sounds really confusing based on what I've read from those links... Also, I'm on Android so I can't access the "entity.material" file

[frank carbon]

It's not too bad once you get the hang of it; some experimentation may help with comprehension. @proud ridge

Here's the vanilla entity material file from my game

Here's an example material file (with its vanilla reference above). The alphatest material allows transparent pixels on your entity, and is probably the most common material. The "entity_alphatest_omniscient" material below inherits the same properties as entity_alphatest, only with the depthFunc set to Always.

You should be able to make a file at materials/entity.material in your pack with these contents, then in your entity's client definition you should be able to use the material "entity_alphatest_omniscient"

{
  "materials": {
    "version": "1.0.0",
    
    "entity_alphatest:entity_nocull": {
      "+defines": [ "ALPHA_TEST" ],
      "+samplerStates": [
        {
          "samplerIndex": 1,
          "textureWrap": "Repeat"
        }
      ],
      "msaaSupport": "Both"
      
    },
    
    "entity_alphatest_omniscient:entity_alphatest": {
      "depthFunc": "Always"
    }
  }
}

[tardy stratus]

Can someone help me?

What components do I need to add to my entity so that it can pick up and equip items from the ground?

I tried to copy the zombies' behavior but it didn't work.

[proud ridge]

So the right side of the colon is being inherited?

[frank carbon]

Aye

[proud ridge]

And it can be chained, i.e. entity_alphatest is also inheriting entity_nocull

[frank carbon]

Precisely

For that reason, I typically write my materials to inherit from entity_static. Makes it easier at a glance what exactly is defined

[proud ridge]

So I make a new file or do I add my entity to the file you provided?

[frank carbon]

I'd recommend making a new entity.material file, rather than copying the contents of the vanilla entity.material file

Should be able to paste the snippet I posted, then you can use "entity_alphatest_omniscient" in your entity (in place of entity_alphatest or whichever material you had)

(Disclaimer: I have not tested this material)

[night kraken]

I don't know how to tell the game to attach items to it

[wooden radish]

Isnt it possible to run commands on the player who killed/hit my entity? with selector

      "events": {
        "jay:zombie_hit": {
            "queue_command": {
                "command": [
                    "scoreboard players add @p[r=10] Money 10",
                    "execute @p[r=10] ~~~ scoreboard players operation @s Health -= ZomDamage Settings",
                    "execute @s ~~~ scoreboard players operation @s Health -= @p[r=10] damage",
                    "execute @s[scores={Health=..0}] ~~~ kill @s"
                ]
            }
        },
        "jay:zombie_death": {
          "queue_command": {
              "command": [
                "scoreboard players add @p[r=10] Money 100",
                "execute @s ~~~ particle minecraft:totem_particle ~~~"
              ]
            }
          }
        }
      }
}```

[misty marten]

how can I detect when you Traded with an entity?

like detect when you purchase something

[proud ridge]

Sorry to ask again, but does the example you provided go into an entity.material file on its own?

[frank carbon]

Yes, it does @proud ridge

[proud ridge]

Does it have to be called entity.material?

Or can I name it something like test.material?

[frank carbon]

Last I recall, file name matters; entity.material

Forgot to @mention @proud ridge

[proud ridge]

Got it working. Thanks. I might look into materials a bit more and see what I can do with them

[smoky lion]

does anyone know if theres a way to rotate a projectile like the trident? based on its velocity

[charred cargo]

It's not based off the velocity
It's the direction of movement

But either way yes

Just use the look_at_target animation or make your own

[cosmic schooner]

how do villagers detect for workstation blocks

[grim mural]

how do i remove this thing from the new update?

okay i see you can toggle it in the settings, but can we remove it for certain entities only?

[candid willow]

I am trying to use component groups and animation controllers to play different animations using the minecraft:is_sheared component but I keep getting this minecraft:is_sheared: this component was found in the input, but is not present in the Schema. What does this mean?

[merry sapphire]

use custom components instead its much better than dummy components

i mean custom properties

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/entities/entity-properties

[ivory trench]

is there any way to make the inventory of an entity only be accessible by one player at the time? similar to how the villager trading menu works

[wooden radish]

How would I trigger my command event when my entity explodes?

[pliant oak]

how to make an entity not affected by water?

[safe drum]

do you mean stop him sink/ keep jumping when he is in water?

[pliant oak]

yes... also sideways

[vale mantle]

I don't have the power to process stuff at the moment but I can change this to test if the entity has tags right?

Like. Test any of if the entity has these tags to run an event

[frank carbon]

Aye, has_tag filter

[vale mantle]

Yay

[rain shuttle]

So I have an issue where I can get my entity to face straight on rails using the runtime identifier for the Minecart but it doesn’t turn on curved rails how would I get it to do this?

[charred cargo]

Are you using the animation for minecart movement

If so then I don't know

[charred cargo]

When entities that can sit on the player have a larger hitbox than the player, do they fit into doors and other spaces that the player on their own could?

[vale mantle]

I'm doubting myself rn, would this work as an event?

[timid trellis]

Question does the lightning_bolt runtime identifier powers lightning rods or no?

[rain shuttle]

yes i am but it still wont turn

[strong tide]

I know this message is extremely old, but does this component still exist?

It was added in version 1.21.90.20, but in version 1.21.90.25 it was removed from the example for all vanilla entities, and it seems not to work.

[fervent whale]

are you familiar with animation json tho??

[night kraken]

No

[fervent whale]

well, try to learn anim controllers, I guess there is a way you can attach your particles to your locator

[gilded radish]

honestly, don't know, but why would the component be removed

[merry lake]

Why does none of my mobs spawn in the custom biome?

[formal veldt]

are those custom blocks?

[strong tide]

I don't know, but when I checked the files it was removed from use in version 1.21.90.25 and this wasn't mentioned in the changelog or anything, it just seems to no longer work, but the documentation on the Microsoft website is still active with a link to Blaze, which when opened doesn't show its use.

[formal veldt]

mobs cant spawn on custom blocks apparently

[formal veldt]

you could use environmental sensors if you cant get it to work

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/entityreference/examples/filters/is_difficulty?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[strong tide]

Yes, I use that, but it doesn't work like vanilla, since in vanilla it's impossible to spawn a monster in the Pacific, but with the filters it spawns but disappears almost the moment it's spawned.

[formal veldt]

🤷‍♂️

[strong tide]

Actually, they can, because they have a block filter; normally the blocks are set to generate in the grass block. If I'm not mistaken, it simply never generates or considers the block in general if it's a block that has an item with replace_block_item, because to this day replace_block_item doesn't work with entities.

[formal veldt]

i still see remove_in_peaceful being able to use tho

maybe its a bug

[strong tide]

In the vanilla files?

[formal veldt]

like, im being suggested it

[strong tide]

When I tried to use it, I received this.

[Log][warning]-Meu Mundo | actor_definitions | /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mojang.min12111026/files/games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds/HyfoYg==/behavior_packs/Biomes&Bey | wypnt_bab:voidcaller | minecraft:entity | -> components -> minecraft:remove_in_peaceful: this component was found in the input, but is not present in the Schema

[strong tide]

I hope they fix this issue with entities containing blocks that use replace_block_item, as I've already noticed a game crash in a component due to this problem.

[formal veldt]

yeah it just seems broken

from what im searching in the server

this is lame

[strong tide]

I find it strange, because they fixed this problem in items and scripts, but the entities are missing.

[formal veldt]

time to wait for another thing to be fixed I guess

[merry lake]

Yes

[strong tide]

Indeed, nowadays almost all blocks use replace_block_item, and not fixing this bug is a big problem. I've already reported that the minecraft:behavior.lay_egg component crashes the game when you set the egg to a block that uses replace_block_item, which is curious because vanilla Minecraft itself uses a block that is also an item.

[merry lake]

Not vanilla mobs, custom mobs

[formal veldt]

ah.

[strong tide]

Your block use replace_block_item?

[merry lake]

No

[strong tide]

Otherwise, maybe mobs won't spawn in custom blocks, I think I've heard Smokey talk about that before.

[formal veldt]

i saw smokeystack saying just mobs

[merry lake]

Then shit

Anyway to fix this?

[formal veldt]

no

[strong tide]

Only mojang

[formal veldt]

just another thing to wait for

[merry lake]

I have zero trust that mojang will do shit about it

[strong tide]

I believe it will happen, I just don't know exactly when.

[merry lake]

Instead, they'll make 100000 ui changes and make everything invisible

[night kraken]

I want to attach items to it. I know how to do particles

[dire scaffold]

Is there a way to make an entity not be pushable by flowing water?

[merry lake]

Anyway to fake it with using commands or smth else?

[fervent whale]

oh, i thought i wanna attach particle. well you could do that using scripting, replaceitem command, or just attach the item via geometry

depends on ur goal

[frank carbon]

Items are semi-hardcoded. I don't know the exact specifics, but I believe plain items will appear in the rightItem bone. (And this may be predicated by other criteria, e.g. "rightItem must be a child of rightArm", etc.)

But for rendering entity models, like with attachables, you could use a bone's binding to have the geometry move to a particular bone.

Make sure your geometry format version is at least 1.16.0, then you can set the following property on a bone to have it "attach" to another bone in the geometry. Where <bone> is the name of the bone

"binding": "'<bone>'"

You'll find that in the models of most custom attachables, they use a binding expression of q.item_slot_to_bone_name(c.item_slot). As the query's name suggests, it maps item slots ("off_hand", "main_hand", "head", etc.) to bone names ("leftItem", "rightItem", "head", etc.)

[gentle remnant]

is there anyway to make the custom entity rendered from far away like the Ender Dragon ?

[safe drum]

use "runtime_identifier" as ender_dragon

[uneven yacht]

anyone know where I can find the new example player files for the newest update?

mainly the render controller and resource entity

yeah i have that but ion think its been updated, then again i could trust the preview

ill mess with it

[white shale]

How to make my entities show another container title other than ‘unknown’? When I put inventory component into my entities, the container title is aways ‘unknown’.

[merry lake]

I also have a water mob but it also doesn't spawn

[golden sand]

can i tell you in dms? (so i can speak portuguese)

[white shale]

Ok, np

[modern hawk]

what's the sound id for the sound that a creeper makes before it's gonna blow up?

[subtle glade]

How can I make it so that when interacting with an entity, it starts following the player?

[golden sand]

make the interaction trigger a event that adds a component group that has the behavior so the entity can follow the player

[subtle glade]

What are these components?

[golden sand]

imma get them hang on

[subtle glade]

Okay

[golden sand]

nvm i couldnt find some

[subtle glade]

No problem

[subtle glade]

Why does the entity take so long to follow the player, and sometimes it stops following them altogether?

Can you try this

[subtle glade]

Ah, ok
I'll test it

[safe drum]

I edited it, can you copy it again

[subtle glade]

It worked perfectly, just the way I wanted, thank you

[subtle glade]

One thing I forgot about priorities: does what I want to prioritize have to have the lowest or highest number?

[safe drum]

The lower the value, The more priority the component gets.

Also in-exchange of this help, can you please teach me how do you make so cool particles? 😅 I really want to learn making those glowy particles like anime and dragon-ball z, I saw you made things like this

[subtle glade]

Ah, okay, I understand

[subtle glade]

Which particles?

[safe drum]

Such as this

We can go DMs

Okay

How can I fix this issue? I should not be able to see through, and since is entity_alphablend is hiding bones inside

[charred cargo]

Is this in blockbench or in game?

[vernal vault]

how do I make a mob play a sound with events? "play_sound" and queuing a playsound command hasn't seem to work all the times I've tried to use them

[charred cargo]

If blockbench, then don't fully consider what the rendering looks like
Blockbench isn't fully accurate to the actual rendering of the game and has some bugs

[vernal vault]

why isn't my sound playing??

                            "command": "playsound ambient.iron_dragon_armor @s ~ ~ ~",

do I NEED to use Experimental Creator Camera Features in order to create a script that changes the camera of the player when it mounts my mob?

I want the camera to be 3rd person when you're on the mob and then 1st person when you get off it

[wanton venture]

pretty much so

[lusty thorn]

entity change mainhand without replaceItem

how

[formal veldt]

not possible.

[rigid kiln]

i have some issue.
the monster of this screnshot has 1000 of health and both weapons makes 60 of damage
the problem is that the mob dies of 17 bullets of the pistol but when i do it with the AKM i have to use more bullets than the 17 of the pistol

[tardy stratus]

I think it's because the AK fires very quickly, so some of the damage is ignored due to the immunity tick.

[rigid kiln]

how can i fix it keeping the speed?

[jade valley]

Hi! Quick question: What is the component that stops an entity from flying into the air forever when hit?

[kind charm]

Physics

[jade valley]

Thanks!

[jade valley]

Hi! I want to make a custom entity that when it attacks a player it makes the player ride the custom entity and trigger a custom animation controller? How can I do this without having to use @p in the animation controller (which can be buggy with multiple players, especially since the entity by default deals knockback)

[lusty thorn]

I feel like you should try to use script api, when player is hit by an entity, use /ride command to that entity the do .playAnimation on the entity or the player

[jade valley]

Thanks! That's what I actually did since bedrock doesn't have execute on passengsr/vehicle

But now I’ve run into another problem:
I want an entity to target two different kinds of entities (with one having priority over the other) and walk toward each type at different speeds.

I want to do this for a patrol system, where the custom entity walks around a maze (by following and attacking dummy entities), and when it spots a player, it chases them.

I tried to do this using the melee_attack and nearest_attackable_target goals (with a filter for each entity, each with its own speed multiplier), but it seems like the speed is only affected by the melee_attack component, which doesn’t have an option to use a filter for the speed multiplier.

What can I do to achieve my patrol system?

Hi! How can I make my entity avoid walking next to walls when pathfinding to a target? It seems to get stuck and slide on corners

[valid hamlet]

[strong tide]

Which bones are used for the zombie's armor?

[charred cargo]

The same as the regular ones? (Lol)
The zombie model uses the same bones as all regular models, and that doesn't matter since the armor's model is controlled by the attachable, not the zombie geo, so there is no zombie's armor

[vernal vault]

how does the happy ghast make wind sounds when flying with the sound following the mob itself and not being left behind??

[kind charm]

It's short intervals.

[vernal vault]

hm, I'm not entirely sure what means, could you please elaborate a little?

[kind charm]

There is no other way to explain it. It's a short sound being played over and over again.

[pale marsh]

how do i make the head look at the player

[solar tendon]

im really curious if its possible to change an entities model based on a bezier curve. has anyone done that before?

[drowsy swift]

umm, is there any way to make the custom mob react to sound similar to the warden?

like throwing snowballs will make the mob go to where ever it lands and check the area

[radiant lichen]

you can use the same behavior like warden just modify the values and use runtime identifier warden

[drowsy swift]

umm, what is that runtime id thing? like using the warden but with the zombie components or something

im new at entities so i dont know anything,

ohh i see,

so my mob can use the warden features, that will make the mob alot better ngl

[radiant lichen]

yes :3

if you use warden features then the components of the mob will work :3

the only one that doesn't work is ender dragon far render distance 😩

[drowsy swift]

that component will make my zombies smarter,

like if u was hiding from then, they can hear or sniff u similar to the warden,

[radiant lichen]

yea :3

dont worry i started like you xD

and now im doing a wasteland/ adventure time addon

[drowsy swift]

everybody did

[radiant lichen]

yea :3

enjoy yourself learning :3/

[drowsy swift]

gl with that!
for me, my zombies now can sniff the player, but for some reason even with the runtime id set to minecraft warden, the vibration listener still doesnt work, like the zombie cant hear the player,

what im trying to do is making the zombie rush to the closest sound, similar to the warden where u can guide it away by using projectiles, i cant copy the warden codes bec it just doesnt work

[crystal oyster]

Looks promising

[unborn pier]

Is there a way to synchronize the animation between the player and the mount? Let the player follow the mount up and down while riding

[radiant lichen]

i see something like that in action and stuff but im not sure :0

[radiant lichen]

im working on my oozers addon xD

its adventure time mutants

[bleak moat]

I’ve only seen them in one episode so far

[radiant lichen]

i study them

xD

[bleak moat]

A marceline and ice king one

[radiant lichen]

they appear in simon and marcy, they appear too in james and james 2

and now in fionna and cake in first season

:3

The mutagenic bomb from adventure time ;3

last image xD

[radiant lichen]

you can use environment sensor for the entity you dont want to move.
then when the other entity is near trigger a event that adds a component group that change the movement to 0

[solar tendon]

what?

i want to move both entities

[radiant lichen]

you mean they move together at the same time?
or they move when the other is close?

[solar tendon]

yea

ok imagine this

try recreating an entity sitting on a vehicle(another entity) but you can make them sit with the normal way mojang made it

thats what im trying to do

keep an entity in that same chair while the chair is moving

[sweet prism]

Is there a way to make it so I am able to place blocks inside an entity?

[safe drum]

I dont think this in a easy way, Would be very complicated.

[sweet prism]

Basically, I am wanting an invisible entity container, but I don't want to have it killed by blocks or be able to interfere with players placing blocks. But still killable/despawnable via script

[vernal vault]

I'm trying to make the player able to shear an equipped saddle off my dragon but now the dragon is dropping a saddle when it dies AFTER it's sheared

The shear logic is working, but there's another saddle dropped whenever the dragon dies

[formal veldt]

probably because its not actually removing the saddle in slot.

run a command on the entity and replace the item in the slot with air

[hazy crater]

pls help, I have a problem with the reflect projectiles component, it works well with minecraft's built in projectiles (arrows, tridents etc) but don't with the ones I made

[karmic plover]

Does anyone know why neither entity works? It should perform the guardian's attack, that beam that damages you when it charges, I didn't include the runtime_identifier because it adds the guardian's behaviors, and I only want my entity to have the guardian's attack.

[warped ibex]

Hello every I'm a newbie in this type of addon stuff I just wanna ask if

How to
Make a entity tamable and how to customize the item for it to be tame

[long sundial]

Does anyone have any idea on how to use q.property in an animation controller?

[formal veldt]

query.property('name') == value

[long sundial]

Thank you :D

[glass flare]

so i made a mob/entity but it does not spawn and i cant figure out why💔 here is the code in the spawn rules

the weight id 200 just for a test, i also tested with 80, and with 100 (the documentation said the higher, easier it will be to spawn

more likely i mean

[lusty thorn]

DAMNNN This is cool

[vale mantle]

If no one's answered you yet, you can make the projectile do override damage instead to ignore the immunity tick

[long pelican]

anyone know why it might be just dying for no good reason

is it depressed

[honest brook]

how to create an invisible entity, but so that it can hold an object and it can be seen?

[drowsy swift]

is it possible to make the skeletons move around while aiming at the target? (without having to use scripts to move the skeletons.)

[limber totem]

I actually need this too lmao

Does anyone know if it possible for a projectile to transform and stoll keep its momentum?

I have an arrow projectile that transforms into another projectile on spawn (depending on how long the player charges their bow)

But when it transforms the entity just falls to the ground when spawned and doesn't shoo forward

Basically, When I transform my custom projectile to another, it doesn't shoot it just falls to the ground

[glass flare]

so

i am new into the rhing and dont know if my answer is possible or if it is optimal

but

applying a knockback effect to the new entity/projectile maybe would work(?)

like a knockback in the direction it was already facing

[charred cargo]

Yeah, PollarZ is sort of correct
You would do best with storing the velocity of the entity and using projectile.shoot() to apply that velocity to the entity it transformed into

[drowsy swift]

why am i unable to make the skeleton targets and fire at the player from far away?

[limber totem]

Damn i though I could do it without Scripting

[jaunty fog]

It says "breathes_water": true. Could that mean it suffocates cause it is on land?

[long pelican]

idk i fixed it by just retyping the whole file lmao

[rigid kiln]

What's the diferente between pverride and immunity?

[haughty tusk]

how can i make one entity immune from fire? not the damage one but i wanna make it immune from that orange thingy

Override overrides immunity, if that's what you mean

Give it fire immunity with particles off?

i mean they arent even errors

[charred cargo]

Nah, i don't think it's possible without it

[limber totem]

Could I atleast have the projectile geometry change with conponent groups?

[charred cargo]

Component groups have no effect on geometry

Component groups are behaviour only and most things in the behaviour (this included) is completely separate from things in the resource pack
What you need here is a render controller

[limber totem]

Yh Ik I need render controllers
But i thought there was a thing where if I add mark:variant to the entity
The render controller can make it change geometry or something
I think ive seen it here or something

[charred cargo]

Oh that's what you meant

[limber totem]

Yh id like use that method

[rigid kiln]

this?

[rigid kiln]

@vale mantle i did it but the problem now is that the bullet ONLY hurts the mob when i shot it from far distances,
But if I shoot from close range, like 1-5 blocks away, the bullet doesn't do any damage.

[novel wind]

Is it still not possible to make a custom collision box?

[kind charm]

If you mean multi collision no. There is custom hit test but its used for damage only and doesnt rotate with the entity.

[novel wind]

So I would need to create a ghost entity and make it ride the main one?

[karmic plover]

Can someone help me? I created an entity with the guardian attack, but my entity isn't doing anything to me, it's not even attacking me, I didn't add the runtime_identifier because I don't want it to have the same behaviors as the guardian; I only want it to have the guardian's attack.

[wanton oar]

How can I make animation variants?

Also is there a query to know when an entity is being ridden

[wanton oar]

Nvm

[drowsy swift]

umm, is there any possible way to make the skeleton targets the player from far away? rn it just emote instead of targeting me
sorry for the ping,

this thing bothers me so much, like why it doesnt work? it works for zombies but not skeletons?

[charred cargo]

Did you edit the maximum distance in which they will target an entity?

[drowsy swift]

set to 200, the skeleton just doesnt target me, instead it just target and untarget (hands going up and down)

[winged spire]

Is it possible to have an entity search for lower light levels? like a real live mouse or something, wich only gets out if it is night or if the mousr is in a dark spot where it cant get catched
I searched in the zombie.json file for its behavior to avoid sunlight, but thats not quite what I am looking for

[boreal wyvern]

Is there a way for a mob to have more than one hitbox, for example, to double the damage when hitting the head hitbox?

[drowsy swift]

fixed, it had an issue with the retargeting system i made, now it works perfectly

[kind charm]

You can use custom hit test.

[drowsy swift]

the only issue is its fixed, which means if the entity moves its head or face another direction (like the ender dragon) the hitbox will be in the wrong location,
unless there is a fix that i have no idea existed.

i tried adding the custom hit test to my crawling zombie so u can hit him on the head, but it just stay in the wrong side when the zombie is facing another direction.

[drowsy swift]

u can remove the mob head and replace it with a custom entity and make it sit on the main entity head location, then u can make it when that head entity takes damage, it will apply more damage to the actual entity

the only downside is it will use two entities instead of one, which can be bad for performance if the mob is too common

[kind charm]

I am aware.

[drowsy swift]

is there really no fix for that?

[winged spire]

can someone help?

[kind charm]

I don't believe it's possible. It might have if the Glare was a mob vote winner. What you can do is probably use scripting to spawn a dummy entity that the mob targets.

[charred cargo]

What in the parrot's/player's code allows for it to face the player's direction
I have an entity that sits on the player's shoulder and uses an animation to displace it's position, but when it rides on the player it's facing direction wavers in a way
How can I remedy this?

[winged spire]

Is it possible to spawn mobs only at day, without the usage of the brightness_filter spawn_rule?

Not sure about the fishing hook but the wind charges I believe are considered as knockback so you need to add the minecraft:knockback_resistance component

Like this: json "minecraft:knockback_resistance": { "value": 1 }

is there a reason why all my animations are running at once?

[wooden radish]

its kinda cool like that

[late socket]

Hi, I’d like to add an attack delay to my entity. Basically, my animation lasts 1 second, and I want the attack to actually hit the player at 0.75s. How do I do that? I’ve looked everywhere, tried to hack something together with scripting, but I can’t get it to work. I saw that there’s an attack delay component, but I can’t get it to line up with the animation. If anyone has an example or a tip, I’ll take it.

[crystal oyster]

Snowball runtime identifier 😔

Or

making it run a particle effect with an animation when it spawns in

That would be linked to its location

This is how I would do it

[bright dew]

Is there a way where if you tap a block it opens the entity inventory?

(I'm making a cooking pot using a dummy entity)

[charred cargo]

The inventory of the player? No

[bright dew]

inventory of entity at block location

[formal veldt]

no

you need to make the entity collision big enough so you can interact with it when its in the block

[vernal vault]

So the geometry would just be like a locator?? How would I make the particle disappear as soon as the entity hits the ground? 😔

[charred cargo]

Make the particle die if it's in a block

[crystal oyster]

The particle would disappear with the entity

[vernal vault]

how do I do that? I assume it's a component in the particle.json

[formal veldt]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/particlesreference/particlecomponents/minecraftparticle_expire_if_not_in_blocks?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

put air

[vernal vault]

thx

[formal veldt]

or you can use expire_cn_contact in "minecraft:particle_motion_collision"

that would make more sense

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/reference/content/particlesreference/particlecomponents/minecraftparticle_motion_collision?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[vernal vault]

how do I make the particle actually "linked" to the entity's location?

https://streamable.com/l2srgp

[crystal oyster]

there should be a toggle in snowstorm for entity bound or something

Not sure what the component is off the top of my head

[formal veldt]

"minecraft:emitter_local_space": {
    "position": true
}

[vernal vault]

when I put this component in either the particle is going invisible or it's not spawning correctly. I'm pretty sure that It has something to do with how I set the particle up tho. Do you have any ideas what it could be?

[charred cargo]

You could try seeing if you've put it in incorrectly
Import the particle to snowstorm and tick this toggle as it is in the app and see if you get the same result
(Or you could inform us of any content logs you may have)

[vernal vault]

I get no content logs but I will do exactly as you told me to when I get home asap

[unreal galleon]

What does this error even mean???

Can I not have custom properties for my player?

[charred cargo]

This means you don't actually have a property
You haven't made one, its just a potential identifier being used
What is in the behaviour pack player.json

[vernal vault]

when I pop it in snowstorm, it works normally, I'm not sure what could be causing it to not work in game, well my only guess would be it's geometry, It's a bone, with a 16x16 plane and a locator

I'm still very much a beginner to particles, here is my json In case I ddi something wrong?

[wraith isle]

Can someone please for the love of god tell me what I've done wrong with this entity? I've tried everything I can to get it to work but it just refuses to work. The content log is useless and I can't figure out what is wrong otherwise

[uneven yacht]

can entity_placer work with variants?

[formal veldt]

yes

"minecraft:entity_placer": {
  "entity": "your:mob<event_name>" // trigger the event that adds the variant
}

[uneven yacht]

dang

[formal veldt]

what

[arctic badge]

Is there a good general resource for developing custom entities with custom animations and how to make the animations function (animations, animation controllers), and animated textures for entities? Any help would be appreciated.

[rare kraken]

  "format_version": "1.10.0",
  "render_controllers": {
    "controller.render.luna_test_frog": {
      "geometry": "Geometry.default",

        { "*": "Material.default" }
      ],
      "textures": [
  "query.variant == 1 ? Texture.basalt_base : query.variant == 2 ? Texture.andesite_base : query.variant == 3 ? Texture.tuff_base : Texture.basalt_base"
        ]
    }
  }
}```

So I was wondering about this. For whatever reason my frog can only be summoned with 2 out of the 3 textures. I have mixed them up and have got to see all 3 but never at the same time. Is this a thing with render controllers or am I messing something up?

[vernal vault]

I fixed my particle, I deleted that plane in the geometry and everything turned out fine

Hiii so I made this billboard entity

How do I make it glow (NOT vibrant visuals)

I remember there’s a way to make entities like very bright/glowing looking

But don’t know how

[vernal vault]

making it's texture transparent and make it's material "entity_emissive_alpha"

[azure echo]

Tyyy. Does the brightness scale with transparency? Or is it a boolean type thing where any level of transparency = full glow

[vernal vault]

yes, the brightness scales with transparency

I'm pretty sure there's other ways to make it glow but that's the easiest way for me

[azure echo]

Thank you. I will try it

[rare kraken]

Nevermind, I figured something else out. I will probably end up doing a guide on it since documention is horrible 👍

[arctic badge]

Does anyone have a guide for entity having flipbook textures?

[azure echo]

how do i make entities render from far away

it already has the ender_dragon runtime identifier

doesnt seem to work

[azure echo]

and tick world component ^ still no dice

[lusty thorn]

can an entity use two right bones?

[charred cargo]

What do uou mean by a right bone?

[lusty thorn]

right arm bone sorry

[charred cargo]

It's no problem
It depends on what you want to do with it
You can't have 2 bones share the same name in the same entity file but there may be an alternative

[vernal vault]

How do I make all of the same entity attack an aggressor to another of the same entity???

(Zombie piglen behavior)

look at it's file

it uses the angry component

[proven sluice]

Hello, I have a small question, is it possible to make an entity behave like an ant? My goal is to make a creature able to dig and start a colony underground, but I'm not sure if that's even possible

[valid hamlet]

If you cancel cactus damage on the item entity the item disappears but it's still there in the world

You can still walk up to the cactus and pick up the item again. Strange bug

It also doesn't make the pickup sound like it would normally either

[formal veldt]

i think the same thing used to happen with fire resistant items, it would get destroyed on the client side in lava iirc

[valid hamlet]

is there any way to get around this or just a bug?

[formal veldt]

just a bug

[proven sluice]

Hello, can someone help me?? How can I make that if I have an item and interact with an entity with said item, I get a new one and despawn the entity?? Basically what buckets do with animals like fishes

[safe drum]

With scripting

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

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithEntity.subscribe((event) => {
    const player = event.player;
    const entity = event.target;

    const inventory = player.getComponent("minecraft:inventory")?.container;
    if (!inventory) return;

    const slot = player.selectedSlotIndex;
    const heldItem = inventory.getItem(slot);

    if (!heldItem) return;

    // Check for the required item, put the bucket typeId here
    if (heldItem.typeId !== "my:empty_net") return;

    // Allow the specefic entity to be catched
    if (entity.typeId !== "minecraft:cod") return;

    // Give player new item
    const newItem = new ItemStack("my:fish_net", 1);
    inventory.setItem(slot, newItem);

    // Remove the entity
    entity.remove();
});
