[Solved] Apply vertical velocity when stepping on block

[stiff garden]

Hi all. I'm trying to make a custom bounce pad block ("end:bounce_shroom") and am currently fiddling with the scripting for it. I want the block to launch a player into the air whilst maintaining their previous velocity as well.

I think I need to use something like onStepOn(event) as a custom component, but I'm really not confident in this area. Could anybody help me?

system.beforeEvents.startup.subscribe(startup => {
    startup.blockComponentRegistry.registerCustomComponent('sert:launch_entity', {
    onStepOn: ((data, { params }) => {
        if (data.entity == undefined) return;

        try {
            data.entity.applyImpulse({ x: 0, y: params.vertical_power, z: 0 });
        } catch {};
    })
  });
});

{
  "sert:launch_entity": {
    "vertical_power": 1
  }
}

well, like this..

Thank you! I've not worked with custom block components before so this is a lifesaver.
