Cannot find name 'target'.
modal.body(§8${target.name}'s )

import * as ui from "@minecraft/server-ui";
import { ActionFormData, ModalFormData } from "@minecraft/server-ui"
import { MessageFormData } from "@minecraft/server-ui"

//Form Creation
let modal = new ActionFormData()
modal.title("          WHITECUBES-UI")
modal.body(`§8${target.name}'s`) 
//Starts at 0
modal.button("-= Warps =-", "textures/ui_icons/clock_icon")
modal.button("-= Shop =-", "textures/ui_icons/ender_icon")
modal.button("-= Money transfer =-", 'textures/ui_icons/sword_icon')
modal.button("-= Settings =-", "textures/ui_icons/spark_icon")```

#

Is there a reason to why this rejecting? I've seen this used in another form but it wont work in this one

#

I've also tried player.name but shows player.name is not found

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

You don't have target variable

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

export function getScore(target, value, useZero = true) {
    try {
        const objective = world.scoreboard.getObjective(value);
        if (typeof target == "string") return objective.getScore(objective.getParticipants().find((player) => player.displayName == target));
        return objective.getScore(target.scoreboard);
    } catch {
        return useZero ? 0 : NaN;
    }
}``` ?

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

Well, you didn't put the code inside function

#

The target is only for that function

#

And the form didn't on that function

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

Could I have a example please?

#

Im really not sure how to fix this, im still learning

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

You need to know what global scope and function scope

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

player.displayName = target ?

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:05 PM

#

// Global Scope
// Can be used anywhere
const msg = "Hello world!"

function sayHi(target) {
  // Function scope
  const name = target.name; //  Works because target is function scope

  console.log(`${msg} ${name}`;
  // "msg" can be use because it's global
}

const name = target.name
// ERROR: target not found
// That because "target" can be access inside function only (function scope only)

#

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Grammar_and_types#variable_scope

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

  // Function scope
  const player.displayName = target.name; ```

#

So something like that?

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

No

#

Leave the function like that

#

You should wrap the form inside function

#

function form(target) {
  //Form Creation
  let modal = new ActionFormData()
  modal.title("          WHITECUBES-UI")
  modal.body(`§8${target.name}'s`) 
  //Starts at 0
  modal.button("-= Warps =-", "textures/ui_icons/clock_icon")
  modal.button("-= Shop =-", "textures/ui_icons/ender_icon")
  modal.button("-= Money transfer =-", 'textures/ui_icons/sword_icon')
  modal.button("-= Settings =-", "textures/ui_icons/spark_icon")
}

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

Yes

#

You can build the form without function, but if you need player name or something from the player, you should wrap inside function and add player or target as argument/parameter

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

to add that, would I add what you wrote inside the function ``` // Function scope
const name = target.name;

console.log(`${msg} ${name}```

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

No, that just example

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:15 PM

#

warm turtle You can build the form without function, but if you need player name or somethin...

So pretty much, it should always wrap in a function

#

Because of those reasons

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

Yes, also it's much cleaner if you wrap in a function

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

Makes sense, I'll start doing that from now on

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

Oh wait

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

Btw how could I make target.name as a parameter?

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:17 PM

#

Just add target and manually use target.name

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:18 PM

#

Like I mean, what would it look like?

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:18 PM

#

function example(target) {
  // Think of "target" is a player class
  const name = target.name
}

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:18 PM

#

Thank you

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:19 PM

#

Btw, I've seen you has page1 function to show modal, put the modal inside page1 instead of form function

#

function page1(player) {
    //Form Creation
    let modal = new ActionFormData()
    modal.title("          WHITECUBES-UI")
    modal.body(`§8${target.name}'s`) 
    //Starts at 0
    modal.button("-= Warps =-", "textures/ui_icons/clock_icon")
    modal.button("-= Shop =-", "textures/ui_icons/ender_icon")
    modal.button("-= Money transfer =-", 'textures/ui_icons/sword_icon')
    modal.button("-= Settings =-", "textures/ui_icons/spark_icon")

    modal.show(player).then(result => {
        let selection = result.selection
        if (selection == 0) {
            player.runCommand(
                "gamemode c @s"
            )
        }
        if (selection == 1) {
            player.runCommand(
                "gamemode s @s"
            )
        }
        if (selection == 2) {
            player.dimension.createExplosion(player.location, 4, {})
        }
        if (selection == 3) {
            let enoughMoney = player.runCommand(`scoreboard players test @s values 50 50`)
            if (enoughMoney) {
                player.runCommand("give @s diamond 1")
                player.runCommand("scoreboard players remove @s values 50")
            }
        }
        if (selection == 4) {
            page2(player)
        }
    })
}

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

warm turtle ```js function example(target) { // Think of "target" is a player class cons...

Should this be seperate to modal? or inside it

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

That's example, you basically doesn't need it

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:25 PM

#

So all I need is the compents of that not the function?

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:26 PM

#

Example of creating a form

function openForm(player) {
  // Create form here
  const form = new ModalFormData()
  // If you want to display player's name, add `player.name`
  form.title(`${player.name} Statistics`)
  // More form structure

  // The "player" used for showing the form
  form.show(player).then((result) => {
    // Something here...
  })
}

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:27 PM

#

Sorry if im a pain man, im still learning

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

No worries

stone storm Jun 7, 2023, 4:32 PM

#

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";
import * as ui from "@minecraft/server-ui";
import { ActionFormData, ModalFormData } from "@minecraft/server-ui"
import { MessageFormData } from "@minecraft/server-ui"

//Form Creation
function Form(player) {
    //Form Creation

    let modal = new ActionFormData()
    modal.title("          WHITECUBES-UI")
    modal.body(`§8${player.name}'s`)-
    //Starts at 0
    modal.button("-= Warps =-", "textures/ui_icons/clock_icon")
    modal.button("-= Shop =-", "textures/ui_icons/ender_icon")
    modal.button("-= Money transfer =-", 'textures/ui_icons/sword_icon')
    modal.button("-= Settings =-", "textures/ui_icons/spark_icon")
}``` So in the end should it look like this?

warm turtle Jun 7, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

Yes
