Help me with smth small

[timid tree]

Im trying to do a !sell command and I alr have the gui and everything done I just cant seem to make it pop the gui upon message as the chat is like blocking the gui from ever being poped open.
How to other people manage to make it so the gui only pops when you also close the chat? I cant seem to make it work.

My script

else if (command === "!sell") {
player.sendMessage("§6Close the chat to view the sell menu!");

system.run(() => {
    showItemsToBeSold(player);
});

}

Please help me fix this if you can! Would make me able to fix other !commands for my lifesteal :)

in the showItemsToBeSold, add the following in your .then condition:

form.show(player).then({selected, canceled, cancellationReason}=>{
  if (cancellationReason == "userBusy") return showItemsToBeSold(player)
})

This is because the form doesn't manually automatically do validation checks like "is the player in a menu?" So while we can't close the chat and make it open up directly from that, we can wait until the player closes said menu to show it to them.

you missed in destructing it... It's (({ canceled, selection, cancelationReason }))

[gloomy axle]

eh, close enough given that I'm doing it directly in discord 😭 good catch though

[timid tree]

ohh youall to smart lol

let me just read all of this text so i can actually understand this

[icy raft]

-# I'm so used to doing destructing that I'll notice a tiny mistake lmao

[timid tree]

Quick question. isnt it cancellationReason === "userBusy"?

or does it need to have only 2 "=="

[gloomy axle]

you could use strict equality for it, shouldn't make a difference

[timid tree]

oh alright thank you both very much! very kind human beings

ey but Remanxnce? I got a question. I had a good scripter friend like a few months ago. and he helped me like setup VSC.

[icy raft]

No huge difference but for practice use === for compare and use = to assign

[timid tree]

And now i did a factory reset a few days ago and I dont know what exctentions to use on VSC. Like he told me to install like This and that. The ones i got right now is this.

[timid tree]

oh yea i always used === to compare smth and = to set smth i just dont know why people use == yk. A bit weird as i dont know the differents

[echo flame]

Umm how do I detect chat messages

[errant rivet]

uhh, the difference is simple, it's just a bit confusing sometimes, but as far as I know, == compares by doing a conversion

example: if (1 == "1")
this will be true cuz it will now convert the number to string yk

but it's best to use === anyway

[timid tree]

world.beforeEvents.chatSend

[echo flame]

Ok

[errant rivet]

chatSend before events

[timid tree]

This way you can like check if a player did a message

[timid tree]

Ohhh i understand it. So it convert stuff i would say lol thanks for the help tho

Ill just use the standart === then

Yo R can you dm me?

[echo flame]

It’s literally not in documentation

[timid tree]

I could send you a link to a good github? It has all kinds of like infos

here @echo flame

https://jaylydev.github.io/scriptapi-docs/1.21.60/modules.html

Just click on the module you need. like for an example you would either use

@minecraft/server like 17.0 or 18.0 beta

and then you can just like go to world catagory and then in there youll see all kinds of stuff like before and after events and how to use and stuff

[echo flame]

Thanks
