How to Create SendMessage Variants Based on a Single Function | Bedrock Add-Ons | Page 1

#

I want to create a world/player message function that four parameters: If the message is global (world.sendMessage) or not (player.sendMessage), what type of message it is, the player to send it to if it is not global, and the message itself. The problem is that I don't know how to create a working script like that. So can anyone help me with this?

The function define part should look like this: function sendGameplayMessage(global, type, player, message).

visual salmon Apr 11, 2023, 4:39 AM

#

It is should be 4 param? Because I can make only 2

#

function sendGameplayMessage(message, player) {
  return player
    ? player.sendMessage(message)
    : world.sendMessage(message)
}

marble epoch Apr 11, 2023, 4:42 AM

#

The type is for what kind of notification it is, whether it'd be error, information, announcement, etc.

visual salmon Apr 11, 2023, 4:43 AM

#

function sendGameplayMessage(message, type, player) {
  // Handler for type

  return player
    ? player.sendMessage(message)
    : world.sendMessage(message)
}

marble epoch Apr 11, 2023, 4:45 AM

#

Well, what I have set up for the type is this:
ERROR:

.playSound('desmp.sting.error')
.sendMessage(`§l§7[§cX§7] §r§l${message}`)

INFORMATION:

.playsound('desmp.sting.info')
.sendMessage(`§l§7[§9i§7] §r§l${message}`)

visual salmon Apr 11, 2023, 4:51 AM

#

function sendGameplayMessage(message, type, player) {
  if (type === "error") {
    message = `§l§7[§9i§7] §r§l${message}`
  } else if (type === "info") {
    message = `§l§7[§cX§7] §r§l${message}`
  }

  dimension.playSound(`desmp.string.${type}`)
  return player
    ? player.sendMessage(message)
    : world.sendMessage(message)
}

#

Huh. Thanks.

you put error and info the wrong way around smh

marble epoch Apr 11, 2023, 7:43 AM

#

I was gonna say lol

visual salmon Apr 11, 2023, 7:46 AM

#

Lol, I didn't see it, mb

marble epoch Apr 12, 2023, 4:18 AM

The playSound must also be global or local.

#

@visual salmon

marble epoch Apr 12, 2023, 4:49 AM

#

Uh...

visual salmon Apr 12, 2023, 4:50 AM

#

Isn't sound play globally?

#

Nvm

#

function sendGameplayMessage(message, type, player) {
  if (type === "error") {
    message = `§l§7[§9i§7] §r§l${message}`
  } else if (type === "info") {
    message = `§l§7[§cX§7] §r§l${message}`
  }

  player
    ? player.playSound(`desmp.string.${type}`)
    : dimension.playSound(`desmp.string.${type}`)
  player
    ? player.sendMessage(message)
    : world.sendMessage(message)
}

marble epoch Apr 12, 2023, 5:56 AM

#

Thanks.

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

@visual salmon First of all, the sound is not working. Secondly, what is dimension?? It's defined as an any, so it doesn't exist.

visual salmon Apr 15, 2023, 3:14 AM

#

It should be world.playSound

#

I thought the playSound inside Dimension class

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

Yeah. Changed it to that, still not working.

marble epoch ```js /** * * @param {string} message * @param {string} type * @param {Pl...

you should defo use a switch and case for this

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 3:29 AM

#

True, but at the same time, the else if thing was Franky's idea.

#

But that's not the problem.

#

The problem is the sound not playing if it's a global message like an announcement.

Again, it's the sound that's the problem, not the messages themselves.

#

But thanks for the switch stuff anyway.

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

yeah I'm just looking at that rn

#

holdon

#

hm

#

@marble epoch try doing the incantation with the wrong capitalisation

#

like

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

Incantation?

#

These are gameplay messages.

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

whatever the input is

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

Not incantations.

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

for the book

#

the spell name or whatever

#

yeah Ik I just wanted to see something

#

cause last time I made it for u so that you didn't need the right capitalisation

#

yah

#

ok

#

cool

#

@marble epoch can you send the code where you run the function? like your gui code

#

just the part where the function is run

#

run

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

function announcePrompt(player, text) {
    player.playSound(`desmp.sting.exclamation`)
    new MessageFormData()
    .title('Make Announcement')

#

does it even make any sound

#

yeah

#

ik

#

i'm just wondering if ur sound actually exists tho lmao

#

so the sound works normally right

Yeah, I'm still here.

#

I was just having heart pains.

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

shit man. that sucks

#

i swear i heard somethn

#

lol

#

@marble epoch send another announcement real quick

#

ah

#

ok

#

i heard a different sound then

#

i think from the form or something

#

there's link a ding sound

#

when u send it

#

are you sure that the two sounds aren't running over each other or something

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 3:55 AM

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

hm

#

maybe world.playSound is broken

#

@marble epoch there is a sound options part which includes a location

#

i'm pretty sure that world.playSound plays sound like in a certain spot of the world, not just to the entire world

#

oop

#

idk then

#

bugrock moment ig

#

nah

#

you could just do world.getPlayers().foreach{

#

eyah ig

#

o right

#

yah

#

np

#

@marble epoch send code here

#

just the playsound part?

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 4:14 AM

#

📎 code.js

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

why are all of them ifs except for the 13 - 19 one

#

you have one else if

#

and all the others are ifs

#

hm

#

whats the sound name again

#

u sure thats matching

#

@marble epoch wait does the particle appear when you die

#

yeah ik why

#

you have the entity coords

#

but

#

the entity is dead

#

so

#

idk

#

lmao

#

holdon i'll figure it out real quick

#

oh wait

#

nvm

#

sorry

#

uh

#

its cause you did entityY twice

#

your Z values have entityY instead of entityZ @marble epoch

#

yeah

#

${entityX} ${entityY} ${entityY}

#

yeah

#

check

#

lmao

#

heh

#

so yeah i was wrong about the death thing its just ur coordinates were wrong

#

alg

#

👍🏻

#

its like playing in some random area of the world lmao

#

yeah lol

marble epoch Apr 15, 2023, 4:28 AM

world.events.playerSpawn.subscribe((data) => {
    if (!data.player.hasTag('ReturningPlayer') && !data.player.getDynamicProperty('hasCharacter') && data.initialSpawn) {

        world.sendMessage(`§e${data.player.getDynamicProperty('charName')} (${data.player.name}) has joined the game.`)
    }
})

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 4:29 AM

#

hm

blazing smelt Apr 15, 2023, 4:30 AM

#

marble epoch ```js world.events.playerSpawn.subscribe((data) => { if (!data.player.hasTag...

you forgot a ! in the second if statement. it should be !data.player.getDynamicProperty('hasCharacter')

#

@marble epoch go to chat, and go all the way to the first message

#

is it the welcome message?

#

I have a similar system, but the welcome messages always appear really early, so when he player loads in, the message isn't displaying anymore

#

since the "player" actually loads into the game before the actual visuals load, so theres usually a couple of seconds while the player is "loaded in", but the actual player's view is still the loading screen

#

oh yeah also why is there different else if and ifs

#

you should change the second if to an else if

#

cool imma probably go as well
