Reading scoreboard objectives in JSON UI | Bedrock Add-Ons | Page 1

I'm making a profile ui for my Minecraft server, but I'm unable to get the death counter to work because I have no clue how to get my scoreboard objective's value. Anyone know how? (In the attachment the Death: 0 is just a place holder, it doesnt do anything)

wouldnt you use scripts for this?

#

function getScore(target, objective, useZero = false) {
    try {
        const oB = world.scoreboard.getObjective(objective);
        if (typeof target == 'string') {
            return oB.getScore(oB.getParticipants().find(pT => pT.displayName == target));
        }
        return oB.getScore(target.scoreboardIdentity);
    } catch {
        return useZero ? 0 : NaN;
    }
}
```just paste this in ur scripts file, then in ur string just do ${getScore(player, "objectiveName")}

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

you edited your messaged 3 times

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

oh yeh remove the js

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

got it

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:22 AM

#

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

#

add that to the top of taht file

#

because we need world for world.scoreboard

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

should I import config.js from my main.js?

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

nono okay so because we are exporting the fucntion getScore

#

we now import that into gui.js

#

so we can get the getScore function

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

ah gotcha (I started Script Api on may 10th)

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

all good nw

#

im just etraching

#

teaching

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

this is what I need rn

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

reason i made u make a config file is so u dont have to have the getScore function in multiple files

#

just cleaner code

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

Oh so should I delete the old code you sent in main.js?

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

so importing it into ur gui.js will look like import { getScore } from "filepathing"

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

muted radish Oh so should I delete the old code you sent in main.js?

yeah we dont need that in there

#

its already in config so we can import it into afile when we need to use it

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

Got it!

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

so have u imported it into your gui.js?

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

Yup!

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

make sure the filepathing is correct too

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:26 AM

#

okay show the code for the profile again

muted radish May 20, 2025, 3:26 AM

#

neon temple May 20, 2025, 3:26 AM
