How do I identify that I'm looking at a block?

[low mirage]

Is there a way to do this without using Vector?

[meager birch]

player.getBlockFromViewDirection()?.block

[low mirage]

Is this an event?

[meager birch]

no

[low mirage]

Ok

Thank you very much, Remember

[meager birch]

np

it's long range detection so u might wana add filters or not

[low mirage]

How do I make a filter?

Would it be using getBlock?

[meager birch]

player.getBlockFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 10 })?.block

[low mirage]

Ooooo

I didn't know you could put these filters in getView

[gritty jolt]

you can find all this information on the microsoft site.

[low mirage]

I do not understand anything

There are no examples

There are only things that can be used, but the formatting is up to interpretation

[gritty jolt]

if you learn javascript basics im sure the script api can be easy to pick up

but I understand needing examples thats how I started out

[low mirage]

But

Minecraft Javascript is different

[gritty jolt]

minecraft api

and no it is not

[low mirage]

Minecraft programming, requires you to know Minecraft things

I can understand Javascript, I just don't know what can be used in Minecraft

player.getBlockFromViewDirection({ includeTypes: ["minecraft:air"], maxDistance: 10 })?.block

[low mirage]

Does using this make me identify a specific block?

[gritty jolt]

BlockRaycastOptions interface

which are the filters/options you should be looking for on the site

[low mirage]

This here

Identifies only the air block?

[gritty jolt]

wont work.

[low mirage]

What do I do then?

[gritty jolt]

click the link.

it shows what properties you can use

[meager birch]

perhaps includeTypes:[]

[gritty jolt]

will not work

if you want to filter the type, use an if statement

[low mirage]

Can you help me identify just one block? I saw this on jayleDev

But VoidCell said it doesn't work

[gritty jolt]

if

[meager birch]

excludeTypes all blocks 💀

[gritty jolt]

statement

[gritty jolt]

click on the link and youll see that it doesnt have those properties.

you are thinking of EntityQueryOptions

[gritty jolt]

simply just an if statement to check the block typeId or the permutation of the block

[gritty jolt]

nvm

lmao

alr, ignore me then

[meager birch]

its fine

[gritty jolt]

no if statement needed

[low mirage]

Will using "includeTypes" only identify the blocks I define?

[meager birch]

test it out

[gritty jolt]

well yeah

[low mirage]

You were sending me a link so I could read the code, but I was already reading it 🤣

[low mirage]

I'll try

[low mirage]

I tested it but it doesn't seem to be identifying just the air block

[meager birch]

Hmmm

[meager birch]

if (!player.getBlockFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 10})) {
    //all air block in viewdirection
} 

Should return undefined when no block's detected
