apply knockback from entity

[umbral nova]

i have an entity in my game, i was wondering if i can give players a tag that forces them to take knockback from the source of that main entity. how would i go about this

[steady pollen]

i haven't tested if this works

but it should

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((data) => {
    const item = data.itemStack
    const player = data.source
    if (data.itemStack.typeId == 'minecraft:stick') {
        const entityarray = world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).getEntities({type:'minecraft:pig', closest: 1})
        if (entityarray != []) {
            const entity = entityarray[0]
            player.applyKnockback(player.location.x - entity.location.x, player.location.z - entity.location.z, 1, 1)
        }
    }
})

waiti forgor smt

world.afterEvents.itemUse.subscribe((data) => {
    const item = data.itemStack
    const player = data.source
    if (data.itemStack.typeId == 'minecraft:stick') {
        const entityarray = world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).getEntities({location: player.location ,type:'minecraft:pig', closest: 1})
        if (entityarray != []) {
            const entity = entityarray[0]
            player.applyKnockback(player.location.x - entity.location.x, player.location.z - entity.location.z, 1, 1)
        }
    }
})

ok lemme check it out

@steady pollen this works! is this something i can have run constantly?

and without using an item

just constantly checking if a player has a tag

like if i have the tag doExplode i get knockbacked from the closest pig

[steady pollen]

system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getAllPlayers()
    players.forEach((player) => {
        if (player.hasTag('test')) {
            const entityarray = world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).getEntities({location: player.location ,type:'minecraft:pig', closest: 1})
        if (entityarray != []) {
            const entity = entityarray[0]
            player.applyKnockback(player.location.x - entity.location.x, player.location.z - entity.location.z, 1, 1)
        }
        }
    })
})

that does it every tick

or it should atleast

i'd lower it

[umbral nova]

how come?

lag?

[steady pollen]

yeah

[umbral nova]

ah

well this seems to work great

thank you so muchh

[steady pollen]

np

[umbral nova]

how do i delay it

sorry im dumb no more questions

[steady pollen]

at the end of the stsem run interval

instead of })

do }, <tick delay>)

[umbral nova]

thank you @steady pollen !!

[steady pollen]

np

yes

[umbral nova]

im bi

:>

[steady pollen]

coolio

[umbral nova]

it like

just

dawned on me in your pfp

you can barely see it but its there

IT BROKEE

LMFAO WHAT DID I DO

[steady pollen]

is there a pig

[umbral nova]

there was

now it is dead

OHHH

ok i need an alternative solution i can fix this

[steady pollen]

instead of entityarray != []

do entityarray[0] != undefined

and see if that fixes it

did that fix it?

[steady pollen]

?

did you get the error to go away

[steady pollen]

this should if you didn't fix it already

[umbral nova]

@steady pollen fixed it

:)

[steady pollen]

nice

[umbral nova]

why am i unable to add multiple?

[steady pollen]

what does it say in game

[umbral nova]

no error

just will not work

cause i was gonna make a smaller boom

[steady pollen]

you removed a }

from if entityarray != []

the first one

did that fix it?

[umbral nova]

lets seee

[steady pollen]

you have to put a } on the line after player.runCommandAsync('kill @e[name=nadeboom]')

[umbral nova]

system.runInterval(() => {
    const players = world.getAllPlayers()
    players.forEach((player) => {
        if (player.hasTag('c4explode')) {
            const entityarray = world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).getEntities({location: player.location ,type:'minecraft:armor_stand', closest: 1})
        if (entityarray != []) {
            const entity = entityarray[0]
            player.applyKnockback(player.location.x - entity.location.x, player.location.z - entity.location.z, 10, 1.2)
            player.removeTag('c4explode')
            player.runCommandAsync('kill @e[name=c4explode]')
        }
        if (player.hasTag('c4explode2')) {
            const entityarray = world.getDimension(player.dimension.id).getEntities({location: player.location ,type:'minecraft:armor_stand', closest: 1})
        if (entityarray != []) {
            const entity = entityarray[0]
            player.applyKnockback(player.location.x - entity.location.x, player.location.z - entity.location.z, 10, 1.2)
            player.removeTag('c4explode2')
            player.runCommandAsync('kill @e[name=c4explode]')
        }
        }
        }
    })
})

[umbral nova]
