applyKnockback vs applyImpulse?

[warped kraken]

Is there a way to tell which methods work for which types of entities? players don't work with applyImpulse and I've just found out that tnt and tnt minecarts don't work with applyKnockback

is there any way to tell which methods will work ahead of testing by hand?

Mob and Entity works in different way in native.
you are able to use applyKnockback on Mobs

you are able to use applyImpulse on Actors(Entities)

in script api, they don't distinguish between mobs and entities

[warped kraken]

is there native documentation anywhere or some way to test what is a mob and what is an entity?

[real gorge]

maybe no

if you are not sure

just use applyImpulse

[warped kraken]

ty

Entity clsss

or just use the typeid of player. I mens there's no other IDs for every player just one 🤷

tho if you are intelligent enough, convert applyImpulse to applyKnockback

[warped kraken]

isn't anything with an entity file an entity though?
If I understand right players and maybe simulated players are the only things impulse doesn't work on because they aren't "entities" in the script?

how come both apply impulse and apply knockback work on regular entities like creepers though?

[polar leaf]

then use Player class or player's typeid

Simple fix.

why overthink things too much

[warped kraken]

i'm trying to figure out why one or the other method doesn't work and in which cases

my code already works

[polar leaf]

it kinda make sense. Tho I can't give a 100% accurate explanation

you know .setRotation() yes it doesn't work with players, but works on entities

[timber wasp]

barely

[polar leaf]

That's not the point rn

-# okay

I haven't used that method yet.

is jayly's website accurate? I've been using it without issue other than for these couple methods
https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/latest/classes/_minecraft_server.Player.html
if this is the correct official documentation it's missing a ton of methods that do work
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/player?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable

[polar leaf]

jayly s website or Stirante doesn't modify anything, they just get it from official documentation

[polar leaf]

list down all methods that do work but not in jaylys website

and @warped raft

[warped kraken]

i meant they weren't in the learn documentation, not jayly's

like the second link only has 15 methods on the player page

i thought the learn page was the official doccumentation

[polar leaf]

also, some parts aren't descriptive enough that's why this server exists and is testing exist

or channel we can say

[warped raft]

Interesting... they disabled inheritance for the microsoft docs

[eager epoch]

@warped raft do u have 0.1.0 or 1.0.0 microsoft docs

[warped raft]

Wdym, documentation for alpha modules (i.e. mojang-minecraft)?

[eager epoch]

yeah

[warped raft]

I don’t think it’s worth the effort to document alpha modules at the moment especially v0.x, those APIs have no official docs, no changelog etc.

Gametest alpha module is in my docs (unintentionally) because it doesn’t use the old naming scheme

[eager epoch]

oh I need it

can u share it?

[warped raft]

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/preview/modules/_minecraft_server-gametest.html
this?

[eager epoch]

where is mojang-minecraft module?

[warped raft]

I don't have it, and I don't intend to put it on docs.

[eager epoch]

oh ok
