Error:

[Scripting][error]-ReferenceError: Native function [ModalFormData::show] does not have required privileges.    at showExampleModal (main.js:10)
    at <anonymous> (main.js:25)
#

How to get privilege?

#

Add delay to the form show function using system.runTimeout- remember to import system from mincraft/server
system.runTimeout(() => showExampleModal(player), 100)

#

Isn't there any other way?

plucky flume
#

No. Before events cannot modify the world at all, and that includes showing forms.

#

Chat event forms need delay regardless, as the chat window overrides any form UIs you wish to show.

#

After events will do?

plucky flume
#

It wouldn't throw the error, but you cannot cancel the message from being sent, and you cannot see the form, as the open chat window would cancel the form from showing.

#add-ons message

:(

plucky flume
#

You can show the UI as soon as the chat window closes. See the message I linked above.

#

So, have to use system.Timeout no other way :(

#

Anyway, thank you for your help :)

Or I can use items instead.

#

Thank you again :)
Issue resolved I guess.
