Player's Death Information

[pseudo talon]

Updated Script:
#1250718489853821039 message

Old Script:

import { world } from '@minecraft/server';

function toTitleCase(str) {
    return str.split(" ").map(w => `${w.charAt(0).toUpperCase()}${w.slice(1)}`).join(" ");
};

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(( { deadEntity } ) => {

    const { x, y, z } = deadEntity.location;

        if (deadEntity.typeId === 'minecraft:player') {

            const deathDimension = deadEntity.dimension.id.replace('minecraft:','').replaceAll('_', ' ');
            const formattedDimension = toTitleCase(deathDimension.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + deathDimension.slice(1));

            world.sendMessage(`§6${deadEntity.name}§r has §cdied§r at §b${Math.trunc(x)}§r, §b${Math.trunc(y)}§r, §b${Math.trunc(z)}§r in §a${formattedDimension}§r`);

        };
});

Using this script, you can get information of where the player died. When a player dies, A message will be sent, which displays coordinates and the dimension of the death location of the player.

this could be use to fork those corpse mod on java. Drop loot boxes on death and such

this is interesting nice work

[calm falcon]

Cool

I think it's better to replace the if statement with a filter option like that:

...subscribe(() => {..your function},
  {
    entityTypes: ['minecraft:player'],
  })

[pseudo talon]

i wanted to keep my script simple

i could also use js if (deadEntity instanceof Player) {}

To make my script understandable, and to keep readability, i just used a simple if statement

[heavy flame]

Is the suggested option more difficult to read?

[hardy crown]

typing maybe?

[upper plover]

the more you look at js the more you just suddenly understand what that line of code means

[heavy flame]

wdym?

[upper plover]

the more you code everyday the more you start to understand what those stuff means even if it's your first time encountering them

[pseudo talon]

no

[pseudo talon]

you know what, i agree, its better to replace the if statement with a filter option

[heavy flame]

and what about our case?

[pseudo talon]

But, you know, it just works, so i just keep it as the if statement (uh idk)

[upper plover]

our case?

[heavy flame]

using filter option

[upper plover]

I don't really because I've never really encountered those cases where it uses filter

[upper plover]

but as a beginner I can read all of the code and I would say this is much clearer for me

probably it all matters on the knowledge

[heavy flame]

The question is, "How does it actually work?"
Of course, I can't tell you exactly, but the suggested option should filter the entities at a lower level, which should be more efficient in terms of performance. However, I'm not insisting on using the proposed method. Use the approach that is more convenient for you.

[heavy flame]

Is it less clear, in your opinion?

import { world } from '@minecraft/server';

function toTitleCase(str) {
  return str
    .split(' ')
    .map((w) => `${w.charAt(0).toUpperCase()}${w.slice(1)}`)
    .join(' ');
}

const filter = {
  entityTypes: ['minecraft:player'],
}; // we can just move the filter in a separate variable

world.afterEvents.entityDie.subscribe(({ deadEntity }) => {
  const { x, y, z } = deadEntity.location;
  const deathDimension = deadEntity.dimension.id
    .replace('minecraft:', '')
    .replaceAll('_', ' ');
  const formattedDimension = toTitleCase(
    deathDimension.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + deathDimension.slice(1),
  );

  world.sendMessage(
    `§6${deadEntity.name}§r has §cdied§r at §b${Math.trunc(x)}§r, §b${Math.trunc(y)}§r, §b${Math.trunc(z)}§r in §a${formattedDimension}§r`,
  );
}, filter);

add death cause also

[pseudo talon]

nice idea

but adding too much text would make it messy i think

but i'll still do it

[pseudo talon]

i totally re-made the script, and the new script is much more optimized, i added a death cause too, but I'll share the script tomorrow.

[hidden umbra]

....

[normal mason]

Wait so was the new script ever shared?

[pseudo talon]

i'm a little busy with life, dont worry i will share it

[normal mason]

Alright, take your time!

[calm falcon]

Where i can promote my add-on ;'v

Guys i created a new script

I want feedbacks

[summer knoll]

@pseudo talon can you share the new script plss

[pseudo talon]

@sharp sun@normal mason@summer knoll

Updated Script!!

Changes:

• Optimized the script, and functions.
• added Death Cause
• added comments to every line of code.

[summer knoll]

THXXX

[normal mason]

Yipee!

[wild summit]

How would you exclude certain players with a tag in game or score with this?

[pseudo talon]

uhh

what do you mean?

[pseudo talon]

do you mean, the death information will only show, if the player has a specefic tag?

can you please explain, i didn't understand

[wild summit]

    if (entity.hasTag('denied')) {
        entity.sendMessage(`§8You have been sent back to Spawn!§r`);
    }
    else {
        world.sendMessage(`§6${entity.name}§r has §cdied§r at §b${x}§r, §b${y}§r, §b${z}§r in §a${dimensionString}§r\nbecause of: §e${formatCauseName(cause) ?? cause}§r`);
    }

other way around. I figured something out (still trying to learn here) Not sure if this the best way but this is given if "killing the player with keepinventory to send back to spawn" Im still looking around for like a getSpawn instead of killing someone.

[wild summit]

Yeah, what I was messing around with it. It works. Not sure if there's a better way tho

[wild summit]

Ah ok thank you

I have noticed when there is a mass amount of mobs killed like with /kill @e[type=!player] that an error will fire in the gui logger with this script even though no players are killed. Continues to work as intended though. Doesn't seem to cause any issues, and doesn't happen every time either. Ill try to get a capture of it.

[sinful cove]

How do I make the death causes translatable in .lang file
