How do I get the position of the block I'm looking at?

[sweet spire]

I wanted to get the position of the block I'm looking at within a radius of up to 20 blocks

[dreamy wasp]

const block = player.getBlockFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 20 })?.block
if (block) {
  player.sendMessage(block.x + ' ' + block.y + ' ' + block.z)
}

Use try{} catch{} otherwise will return error if looking in air ("Out of boundaries error")

[simple swallow]

Uhh no? He already used ?. and he also used if (block) {} too

[simple swallow]

const head = player.getHeadLocation();
const view = player.getViewDirection();

const block = player.dimension.getBlockFromRay({ ...head, y: head.y + 0.1 }, view, { maxDistance: 20 })?.block;

console.error(JSON.stringify(block?.location));```

[simple swallow]

Ohh yeah, that method has a small problem... This one right here...

And to get the x, y and z position of an entity I'm looking at, what do I do?

I try with entity but it generates error

[timber cave]

const entity = player?.getEntitiesFromViewDirection()[0].entity;
if (entity) {
    const { x, y, z } = entity?.location;
}```

That's exactly what I did, but it generates an error

[timber cave]

hm?

[timber cave]

show code please

[dreamy wasp]

?!

[timber cave]

what the fuck?

[sweet spire]

It's quite long, but I'll summarize it

Just a minute

@timber cave

world.afterEvents.itemStartUse.subscribe(data => {
  const player = data.source
  const item = data.itemStack
  const entityInView = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 60 })[0]
  const blockInView = player.getBlockFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 60 })?.block

  if (item.typeId == "sakuta:test") {
    const px = player.location.x
    const py = player.location.y
    const pz = player.location.z
    
    let newDist = 0

    if (blockInView != undefined) {
      newDist = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(blockInView.x - px, 2) + Math.pow(blockInView.y - py, 2) + Math.pow(blockInView.z - pz, 2))
    }

    if ((currentDist <= 8 && newDist >= 4) || hasTarget == false) {
      if (entityInView == undefined && blockInView == undefined) return

      hasTarget = true

      if (entityInView) {
        player.setDynamicProperty("target_position_x", entityInView.location.x)
        player.setDynamicProperty("target_position_y", entityInView.location.y)
        player.setDynamicProperty("target_position_z", entityInView.location.z)
      } else if (blockInView) {
        player.setDynamicProperty("target_position_x", blockInView.x)
        player.setDynamicProperty("target_position_y", blockInView.y)
        player.setDynamicProperty("target_position_z", blockInView.z)
      }  
    } else {
      useTrigger = true
    }
  }
})

[dreamy wasp]

const entityInView = player.getEntitiesFromViewDirection({ maxDistance: 60 })[0]?.entity

[sweet spire]

I'll test it 🙏

[sweet spire]

Now the code is working perfectly

Thanks

serty is the best

lol

[dreamy wasp]

By the way, you misspelled "the"

[timber cave]

okay

[dreamy wasp]

I can find mistakes in others, but I can't even write myself....

[marsh oasis]

well technically, he didnt even spell it
