timer and become another block (like water to ice) script

[merry girder]

I need to know how to make it for my custom ice

[brave zinc]

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

system.runTimeout(() => {
  // What will happen then
}, 100); // Time using ticks (20 ticks = 1 second)

Thanks @brave zinc

[merry girder]

And also how I detect it the custom block touches another custom block with timer

[brave zinc]

Wdym?

You mean when you put the block?

[merry girder]

I mean, when water touches ice and it slowly becomes ice too

[brave zinc]

You can get the PlayerPlaceBlock event and set a timer if the block is touching the block you want to detect

And when the timer is done, check again if it is still touching that block

[spiral python]

You can use system.run() and add method to detect the block and add timer after that change the block

timer and become another block (like water to ice) script

Tell me which one of your ideas is the best for my addon?

[slow vapor]

i think it will get laggy if hundred timeouts execute

[cloud geyser]

what

its just how how many ticks it is, not how many times its going to execute

[slow vapor]

will it execute only 1 time? or he wants it to execute everytime smth happens?

[slow vapor]

ik

[slow vapor]

i thought he wants to put that in a event

[cloud geyser]

...no, its just delaying it

[cloud geyser]

okay buddy.

[cloud geyser]

you dont need to screenshot anything.

[slow vapor]

instead typing it again i can send screenshot

[cloud geyser]

you dont need to type it again either

[brave zinc]

Timeout executes only once

[slow vapor]

If you put it in a event like afterEvent.playerPlaceBlock after placing a block this timeout will execute

I was talking about a event not one time script

[brave zinc]

Just need to check if its the correct block before setting the timer

[slow vapor]

yeah but it can run multiple times

[brave zinc]

I don't think multiple timers can cause lag

Maybe intervals can

[slow vapor]

I can test it out, I can simply make a script that after 5 minutes it deletes that block that I placed (fe. wool) I can place stacks and see if it lags
