i was hoping to create a way where if i do something like :ban playernamehere in chat it tags that player with a tag only if i have the admin tag, i was following this guide here but it does not seem to work even for the template https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/custom-command.html

Well if you're on the latest version of mc (1.20.50) you'll have to update the version from 1.6.0-beta to 1.8.0-beta in the dependencies section of the manifest like this:

"dependencies": [
        {
            // Minecraft native module - needed to use the "@minecraft/server" module
            "module_name": "@minecraft/server",
            "version": "1.8.0-beta"
        }
  ]

When ever there is a new update it's a good idea to check the changelog to see if any changes were made to the api especially when using the beta version of it. But also you can always download the newest addon sample pack for the current version from Microsoft here: https://aka.ms/MCAddonPacks

Once you download the samples pack you can check this folder: ..\bedrock-samples-1.20.50.3\metadata\script_modules\@minecraft
and in that folder you'll see the available versions of the api.

In the case of 1.20.50 the folder doesnt have server_1.6.0-beta.json anymore the folder now has server_1.8.0-beta.json so that means you'll have to use 1.8.0-beta instead of 1.6.0-beta now.

thank you!

#

hey @elder mist i got a question for ya

#

i was hoping to be able to keep each of my : commands in a seperate folder like this

#

is this possible?

#

or do i need to keep them all my commands in one script

elder mist Dec 7, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

You can do multiple files and folders!

#

Use the import './ban.js';

ancient blade Dec 7, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

elder mist You can do multiple files and folders!

what i hope to end up making is a recreation of one of the first roblox admin scripts that i used to know very well,

say i have a user named ruralnoobkiller918 or whatever, typing in :ban ruralno would tag that player with ban

#

im trying to use bing ai to make the command files for me because idk what i am doing 😭

#

i do commands not this

elder mist Dec 7, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

Bing AI is not very good at the Minecraft Script API but you can use it

#

I can assist you!

ancient blade Dec 7, 2023, 1:22 PM

where i do not have to type the entire ign

elder mist Dec 7, 2023, 1:24 PM

Is your question "Can I use Bing AI to write Script API code?"

#

Yes and No

ancient blade Dec 7, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

elder mist Is your question "Can I use Bing AI to write Script API code?"

my question is "is it possible if i have a player named ruralnoobkiller9457 and i type :ban rural to have it work instead of typing their entire ign?"

elder mist Dec 7, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

Hmm, I'll try something

ancient blade Dec 7, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

elder mist Hmm, I'll try something

i'll try to make a ban.js with AI and you can give me feedback?

elder mist Dec 7, 2023, 1:29 PM

#

Yes

#

I have a miss typed or auto filler name

#

So if you type a part of the name it'll auto select the name

ancient blade Dec 7, 2023, 1:32 PM

ancient blade Dec 7, 2023, 1:33 PM

elder mist I just need to get permission to distribute it

here is the ban.js bing ai made me

const system = server.registerSystem(0, 0);

// Setup which events to listen for
system.initialize = function () {
    system.listenForEvent("minecraft:chat", onChat);
};

// Event listener function
function onChat(eventData) {
    let message = eventData.data.message;
    let sender = eventData.data.sender;
    
    // Check if the message starts with ":ban "
    if (message.startsWith(":ban ")) {
        let playerName = message.slice(5); // Get the player name from the message

        // Find the player with the given name
        let playerEntities = system.getEntitiesFromQuery(system.registerQuery());
        for (let i = 0; i < playerEntities.length; i++) {
            if (playerEntities[i].name.startsWith(playerName)) {
                // Tag the player
                system.executeCommand(`tag ${playerEntities[i].id} add doBan`, () => {});

                // Send a message back to the sender
                system.executeCommand(`tellraw ${sender.id} {"rawtext":[{"text":"You banned ${playerEntities[i].name}"}]}`, () => {});
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

supposedly tag the player after :ban with the tag doBan and tell me i banned them

elder mist Dec 7, 2023, 1:56 PM

#

Try this:```js
import { world } from '@minecraft/server';

world.beforeEvents.chatSend.subscribe((eventData) => {
const player = eventData.sender;
const message = eventData.message;

if (message.startsWith(":ban ")) {
let playerName = message.slice(5); // Get the player name from the message

// Find the player with the given name
const target = world.getPlayers({ name: playerName })
// Tag the player
player.runCommandAsync(`tag ${target[0].name} add doBan`);

// Send a message back to the sender
player.runCommandAsync(`tellraw ${player.name} {"rawtext":[{"text":"You banned ${target[0].name}"}]}`);

// Cancel the chat message
eventData.cancel = true;

}
});

neon spindle Dec 7, 2023, 2:45 PM

#

To begin with, if you are importing files from several different module systems, you need to separate them.
Just as it is no good to import one file that is different from the others, it is no good to import files that are different from each other.

//For example 
import { world } from '@minecraft/server';
import { Commands } from 'commands.js';

There is no Commands class in @minecraft/server
