block interaction -> commands?

[wary parcel]

Ight, I have a script setup that detects player right clicking my custom blocks, anyone got ideas how can I connect that to running commands? I can probably setup a function I think I know enough about it now, and I'm actively reading up on scripting stuff. But as of now I can't figure out how to run a command when this is triggered.

    world,
    system
  } from "@minecraft/server";

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    if (event.block.typeId === "qol:lesser_ender_core") {
       world.sendMessage("You clicked");
    }
});``` here's the code I have running right now as an example

oh yea also I haven't seen mention of this method for right click detection anywhere, seems like everybody is looking at use item or somrthing when i search in the server but for block detection this works great ^

[sage sonnet]

you can use runCommandAsync

[wary parcel]

ooh, is there documentation on that somewhere?

[sage sonnet]

yes! it’s very simple, just swap sendMessage with runCommandAsync or runCommand if your API version is 2.0.0+

https://wiki.bedrock.dev/scripting/script-server#running-commands

[wary parcel]

or actually rather, where would I find a list of valid... functions? I'm pretty new to scriptting here- and nvm you're too fast and awesome

darn I was so close to finding that on my own too 😭

[sage sonnet]

youre doing greatt! lmk if it works

[wary parcel]

I was going through the scripting stuff on there and just reading and I was two places away 😂

[wary parcel]

so what is the syntax of .runCommand? if I want to run a function command do I just do

.runCommand(function blahblahblah)

?

or does it need to be a string: .runCommand("function blah") ?

or is it something else entirely

i don't really understand the example that it gives on the website ;-;

[sage sonnet]

it should be smth like this

    if (event.block.typeId === "qol:lesser_ender_core") {
        world.runCommand(
     "/function blablah");
    }
});```

[wary parcel]

oh so it has to be a string and it has to have the / oki

[sage sonnet]

yes!!

[wary parcel]

uhhhh would it need specifications about command permissions?

or should it just run as is

oki I got it working

uhhhh now I hav a smol question which should actually be more related to the command rather than scripting technically

where does it execute the command from

cuz it says it's from the "script engine"

but I want a function to run at the position of the block I click on

[wary parcel]

ok I just need to figure out how to run the function at the position of the block and then I should be all good

hmmm for now I should be able to add a step on event and just have it say please step on the block

[wary parcel]

do you know how I can run the command at the block? I have tried a bunch of things over hours and hours and found nothing 😭

ignore the face location bit

that does nothing

i think theres a way to get a vector3 something or other from the block but like idk how you do that and even if i did idk how the heck to get it into the ~~~ there

[sage sonnet]

sorry for the delay, its already midnight here

iirc you need to add these

let location = block.location```
after the first if

and then you can add runCommandAsync("blabla", location);

or you can try

x: location.x + 0.5,
y: location.y + 0.25,
z: location.z + 0.5
 };```

and adjust to your needs

[wary parcel]

so, assuming this works, what the heck is this code actually doing?

ik const is a type of variable and ik javascript is very similar to action script, so I'm assuming whats going on here is that the {} are defining an object and then defining properties of said object... is this bit of code after the const {block} =... etc. bit i assume?

also ty for all your help thus far

[wary parcel]

and mate, how u calling 5 minutes a delay, thats insanely fast lol

[sage sonnet]

its an alternative method!! you can use like this

    const { block } = event;
    if (event.block.typeId === "qol:lesser_ender_core") {
        world.runCommand(
     "execute positioned ${block.location.x + 0.5} ${block.location.y + 0.5} ${block.location.z + 0.5} function blablah");
    }
});```
or this
```world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { block } = event;
    if (event.block.typeId === "qol:lesser_ender_core") {
        block.runCommand(
     "/function blablah");
    }
});```
and like this
```world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((event) => {
    const { block } = event;
    let location = block.location;
    if (event.block.typeId === "qol:lesser_ender_core") {
        world.runCommand(
     "/function blablah", location);
    }
});```

im half sleep rn so if any { or whatever is out of place mb 🤠 but lmk if you got it working

[wary parcel]

ye I will let you know but you should go bed so I will no longer ping u

ty for the much helps

but if you are awake enough to answer or you see this when you wake up, what is the $ ?

[left swan]

Doing ${} lets you put like variables, stuff from lets, and const (Not the best with explaining). In this case it is saying the the x coordinates will be the block location, take the x value and add 0.5 to it.
Think of it like a value that changes

[wary parcel]

ohhhh okay

none of this works tho

unfortunately

and idk why

[left swan]

Can I see what you have?

And any error logs?

[wary parcel]

the error logs have been extremely unhelpful

gimme a sec

[left swan]

Sometimes, it says a lot more then you think

[wary parcel]

here's what I currently have, this does not work, it just throws an expected syntax error because the $ thing doesn't work for some reason

    world,
    system,
    BlockEvent,
    BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent
  } from "@minecraft/server";
var ML_reacting = false;
let secondsPassed = 0;

function mainTick() {
  if (system.currentTick % 20 === 0) {
    secondsPassed += 1;
  }
  if (system.currentTick % 100 === 0)
  {
    secondsPassed = 0;
  }
  if (ML_reacting === true & system.currentTick % 600 === 0) {
    ML_reacting = false
  }
  system.run(mainTick);
}
system.run(mainTick);

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent) => {
    if (BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.block.typeId === "qol:mystical_core") {
      if(ML_reacting === false) {
        world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync("/execute positioned ${BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.faceLocation.x} ${BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.faceLocation.y} ${BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.faceLocation.z} function ML_reactor");
        world.sendMessage("Mystical Core Activated");
        ML_reacting = true
      }
      else if (ML_reacting = true) {
        if (system.currentTick % 100 === 2) {
          world.sendMessage("Mystical Core Reacting");
        }
      }
      else {
       world.sendMessage("Seconds Passed: " + secondsPassed)  
        event.cancel
      }
    }
  }
);```

here's the function btw

structure load qol:mystical_spire ~~~ 0_degrees none layer_by_layer 15```

[left swan]

What scripting version are you using?

[wary parcel]

here is the closest version of it working```import {
world,
system,
BlockEvent,
BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent
} from "@minecraft/server";
var ML_reacting = false;
let secondsPassed = 0;

function mainTick() {
if (system.currentTick % 20 === 0) {
secondsPassed += 1;
}
if (system.currentTick % 100 === 0)
{
secondsPassed = 0;
}
if (ML_reacting === true & system.currentTick % 600 === 0) {
ML_reacting = false
}
system.run(mainTick);
}
system.run(mainTick);

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent) => {
if (BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.block.typeId === "qol:mystical_core") {
if(ML_reacting === false) {
world.getDimension("overworld").runCommandAsync("/function ML_reactor");
world.sendMessage("Mystical Core Activated");
ML_reacting = true
}
else if (ML_reacting = true) {
if (system.currentTick % 100 === 2) {
world.sendMessage("Mystical Core Reacting");
}
}
else {
world.sendMessage("Seconds Passed: " + secondsPassed)
event.cancel
}
}
}
);```

[wary parcel]

honestly I don't know lol

haven't been able to figure it out

and forgor to ask earlier

[left swan]

Do you have something like this in your manifest? This is from one of my packs so yours might look different

[wary parcel]

I don't have a dependencies bit in my manifest... i don't think- nvm I do, huh, welp then it's version 1.5.0

that seems veruh old

[wary parcel]

also before we get too far

I want to specify that this works, the only issue is that it does it at 0,0,0 which I assume is because it is referencing the position of the dimension and not the block

but I can't get it to work without that dimension bit

[left swan]

An old one. Haven't used that version in quiet a long time.

Ok

[wary parcel]

I can change that if it's gonna be easier, I have pretty much 0 idea what I'm doing and I can just make backups in case whatever I try doesn't work

[left swan]

So it goes to 0,0,0 because your function is using relative coordinates and running them at world level, so it world be 0,0,0. Using execute can help move where it will run

[wary parcel]

and I assumed that was the problem

but idk how to get around it, cuz execute has not been helping

[wary parcel]

but ig it's something to test, so what would you change?

[left swan]

Normally I would not use a function because it isn't flexible. You can run the commands in you script instead which would allow more flexibility with its location

[wary parcel]

you mean just doing .runcommand separately?

ok I changed it so it doesn't use the function and just runs the /structure command but it does the same thing

[left swan]

This is what I did for something a 1 year and a half ago. You can see that I using the block's location as x, y, and z and then adding a value to those

Instead of ~~~ do ${BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.block.location.x} ${BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.block.location.y} ${BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent.block.location.z}

[wary parcel]

what do I need to import for this cuz like, right now, "BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent" and "event" do the exact same thing

and block.location just doesn't exist it seems

[left swan]

hold on, let me do something

[left swan]

So I would have it more like this

world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ev) => {
    if (ev.block.typeId === "qol:mystical_core") {
        const {x, y, z} = ev.block.location
        if (ML_reacting === false) {
            ev.block.dimension.runCommand(`structure load qol:mystical_spire ${x} ${y} ${z} 0_degrees none layer_by_layer 15`);
            world.sendMessage(`MYSTICAL CORE ACTIVATED`)
        }
    }
})```

Having BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent is really long and having it shorter can help

[wary parcel]

I don't even know what it is ngl

cuz it does the exact same thing if I just use "event"

[wary parcel]

this gives me a new error

never seen this one before

[left swan]

I forgot async in runCommand
do runCommandAsync

[wary parcel]

oops

I should have caught that lol

heeeeeeeey it works less goooooo

ok

what is "ev"

can you just put anything in there?

[left swan]

ev is the samething as BlockComponentPlayerInteractEvent, event, bob. It is like a const

[wary parcel]

interesting

[left swan]

Or you can define what you need in an object instead

[wary parcel]

ok so it looks like the issue was just, I only needed to do ${x} cuz this is actually the same format as something I tried earlier and it just didn't work lol

[wary parcel]

the full version of this just doesn't work somehow

just reads it as part of the string

but anyways

this worked now

[left swan]

If you have any more question, feel free to ask. When you learn more, please update you scripting api version, 1.5.0 is really old like 3 years old

[wary parcel]

yah I kinda figured that out 💀

but ye if it works it works and for now that's what matters

[left swan]

One of the versions does remove runCommandAsync so you might have to do

system.run(() => {
                ev.block.dimension.runCommand(`structure load qol:mystical_spire ${x} ${y} ${z} 0_degrees none layer_by_layer 15`);
                world.sendMessage(`MYSTICAL CORE ACTIVATED`)
            })

Which should let it run without the async

For future reference

[wary parcel]

ye

oh wait system run

that's weird

interesting

[left swan]

The error that it can't run in restricted execution, it is because beforeEvents run in early execution and runCommand can't use early execute so system.run() helps run it. Doing system.runTimeout() can let you delay the run in ticks

[wary parcel]

gotcha

[left swan]

afterEvents doesn't need system.run()

[wary parcel]

yo what does this "unexpected version for loaded data" mean?

[wary parcel]

https://youtu.be/T7sjFq-zlWU boo

mostly everything is working, only weird thing that idk how to fix is during the loop where it says "Mystic Core Reacting" it sends the message 3 times instead of once

so a few questions,

first, how do i fix it so that it only sends the message once

and second, how can i restructure the timer so that it isn't based on the world tick but based on how many ticks after clicking the core

I'll do some more investigating later but i gtg to work rn so if anyone has any ideas they're well appreciated ^-^

[left swan]

That is a bug currently, all my blocks are like that.

[wary parcel]

interesting

[wary parcel]

got any ideas how to setup a timer that starts when the block is pressed?

[wary parcel]

might have an idea

[wary parcel]

yah it worked, i now have a counter for the reaction

[pastel verge]

this is super cool bro, do the reactors generate energy or whats their purpose?

[wary parcel]

it's a superflat quality of life hack

and the original idea was to bring back the old so that you have a way to actually reach the nether without using cheats to give yourself lava and stuff... could I also have changed the wandering trader to give you lava instead of doing all this?... yes.... yes I could have...

buuuut you still wouldn't be able to get to the end so I figured hmmmm well I can't really let the wandering trader give you end portal frames... that's a bit busted and also you'd have no way to break them if you make a mistake lol so I went with this idea

I added 4 different ones so that it's not like "oh it's trivial to get to the end now" so there's still a good bit of progression which is fun

and everything works, but now I need to make sure it checks that you placed the reactors correctly

which I should be able to do with a bunch of if statements in an execute command lol

[pastel verge]

looks super cool, its a very unique idea tbh. when i saw the first reactor it reminded me of the og minecraft reactor loll

[wary parcel]

ye that's what it's based off of!

:3

it's not gonna function exactly the same I think

[wary parcel]

lmao the execute command I'm using to check for blocks here is so long that it crashes the game if you try to run it in chat 😭

or not the game but the world

[wary parcel]

it works tho :3

[left swan]

works but crashes?

[wary parcel]

no

it just works

the command is fine when run by a command block or by a script

but when you run it in chat it crashes the world

luckily

you will never need to run it in chat

like ever

so that's not an issue lol

[left swan]

What are you running that would crash if you run it in chat?

[wary parcel]

/execute positioned ~~~ if block ~~-1~1 respawn_anchor ["respawn_anchor_charge"=4] if block ~~-1~-1 respawn_anchor ["respawn_anchor_charge"=4] if block ~-1~-1~ respawn_anchor ["respawn_anchor_charge"=4] if block ~1~-1~ respawn_anchor ["respawn_anchor_charge"=4] if block ~1~-1~1 obsidian if block ~-1~-1~1 obsidian if block ~-1~-1~-1 obsidian if block ~1~-1~-1 obsidian if block ~~-1~ obsidian if block ~~1~ obsidian if block ~~1~1 obsidian if block ~~1~-1 obsidian if block ~1~1~ obsidian if block ~-1~1~ obsidian if entity @e [type=ender_crystal,x=~-1,z=~-1] if entity @e [type=ender_crystal,x=~1,z=~-1] if entity @e [type=ender_crystal,x=~1,z=~1] if entity @e [type=ender_crystal,x=~-1,z=~1] run structure load qol:empyrean_spire ~-5 ~-2 ~-5 0_degrees none layer_by_layer 15

[left swan]

That would do it

[wary parcel]

:3

but yeah it's totally fine and it doesn't even lag or anything either so that's a bonus

okay

so

last thing I need to fix

I need to add a condition to the function where this command is run, where it only does the rest of the function if the command succeeds

cuz rn it starts the reactor countdown even though it failed

[left swan]

Have you thought about something like this? https://discord.com/channels/523663022053392405/1342156231242023014

[wary parcel]

this exissssttssssS?????????

😭

[left swan]

People are creative with scripts

[wary parcel]

uhhh I don't think I actually want to use this though

cuz I don't want it to activate when you place the core inside I want it to activate upon right clicking the core while it's in the correct position

very cool and good to know tho

[wary parcel]

regardless this still needs to happen tho

so uhhhh

[left swan]

Probably an if statement or try catch statement. Your options are limited if you are still using the old api

[wary parcel]

custom commands dont work right?

I'm tryna think how I would even catch the error or success even with an if or try catch statement

cuz it's from a string that isn't actually run in the function it's just running the command, and that function executes correctly regardless of if the command executes correctly

[left swan]

Custom commands work, in a much new version

[wary parcel]

yeah I meant not in this api version

[left swan]

Wasn't a thought in that version

[wary parcel]

cuz ik I could just add a output to the custom command if that was the case lol

[wraith solar]

hey mind i use ur code for my buttons i'm trying to make for my own addons, i'll give u credit for the code, i'm asking as i have zero skill on how to do scripting

[left swan]

You can always try updating the version. See what breaks and what didn't

[wary parcel]

which part

most of it isn't really my code alone anyways

but what are you tryna do

cuz alot of it might be unnecessary for you depending on your goals for that addon

[wraith solar]

so what i'm trying to do is make a button like the ones in the dugeons content addon, i know how the code and what works, i just don't know how to make my own, (what i mean by the buttons in dca are when the 'off' button is pressed, it switchts to the 'on' block and places a redstone block a block below the block the block the button is on so it can power redstone stuff)

[wary parcel]

btw is there anything I need to do different other than just like... change this?

in order to update it

[left swan]

You updating to version 1.15.0? That should be it

[wary parcel]

no I was on 1.15.0 already

I tried typing in 1.19.0 and it didn't seem to do anything?

[left swan]

The script didn't do anything?

[wary parcel]

no like... hmm lemme test just to be sure but idt anything changed

yah it all functions the same

[left swan]

I do a lot with the V2 so somethings are different between the 2
V1 highest is 1.19.0, which is a year old

[wary parcel]

ok but

all I have to do to update is to just type a different number there?

[left swan]

From my list, these are the versions that can be used

[left swan]

As long as the numbers match what my list shows

[wary parcel]

damn okay

well lemme just try 2.6 ig

[left swan]

V1 to V2, lots of changes

[wary parcel]

oh right runcommandasync doesn't work

[left swan]

Use this to replace that

[wary parcel]

I dunno what this is talking about ngl, but, I looked it up and you might be better off making a function attached to PlayerButtonInputAfterEvent

unless this isn't an actual button

and it's a block that functions like a button

[left swan]

That is button input like space, shift, those things

[wary parcel]

oh

yah so mb try ButtonPushAfterEvent https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/minecraft/creator/scriptapi/minecraft/server/buttonpushafterevent?view=minecraft-bedrock-stable @wraith solar

[left swan]

You would need a button to trigger that. Doesn't work with a custom button

Custom button is a different rabbit hole

[wary parcel]

hmmm alr

well anyways

[wary parcel]

    const {x, y, z} = ev.block.location
    if (ev.block.typeId === "qol:mystical_core") {
      if (reacting === false) {
            ev.block.dimension.runCommand(`/execute positioned ${x} ${y} ${z} if block ~~-1~1 obsidian if block ~~-1~-1 obsidian if block ~-1~-1~ obsidian if block ~1~-1~ obsidian if block ~1~~1 obsidian if block ~-1~~1 obsidian if block ~-1~~-1 obsidian if block ~1~~-1 obsidian if block ~~-1~ obsidian if block ~~1~ obsidian if block ~~1~1 obsidian if block ~~1~-1 obsidian if block ~1~1~ obsidian if block ~-1~1~ obsidian run structure load qol:mystical_spire ~-5 ~-2 ~-5 0_degrees none layer_by_layer 15`);
            world.sendMessage(`MYSTICAL CORE ACTIVATED`);
            starttime += system.currentTick;
            reactortype = "Mystical Core";
          reacting = true
      }
      else {
      ev.cancel
      }
    }```

so where would I put the system.run bit of code in here

[left swan]

The command needs to be wrapped in it to fire

And send message too

[wary parcel]

so the rest of the world.sendmessage n stuff doesn't need to be in it, just the ev.block.dimension.runComm-

ok hmm

ok got it

ok so

with that

that means I'm just up to date now

wahoo

[wary parcel]

so noowwww what other options are available to me :3

[left swan]

With all the new features. Well, you can make it check the blocks each then summon the structure. That will let you stop it if it doesn't have a block there

[wary parcel]

wdym by check them each and then summon it

cuz that sounds like what already happens

[left swan]

you can getBlock of a block in the world. This gives you a better chance to cancel it if it doesn't detect a block. You said that it still runs when the command fails, this is will make it so it doesn't need the command. A little complex, but not that bad

[wary parcel]

oh

no

the structure doesn't run

the timer runs

here let me get a video

[left swan]

Because the command runs, it doesn't matter if it passes or not

-# I hate execute commands

[wary parcel]

ye the structure is unrelated

[wary parcel]

honestly valid

[wary parcel]

and actually I would prefer to just directly get a block that way lol

[left swan]

I am getting tired so I am going to bed. Good luck

[wary parcel]

oki tyty :3

[wary parcel]

is this using a regular button or is it a custom button

if it's a custom block you'd want to use this I think world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ev) => { const {x, y, z} = ev.block.location if (ev.block.typeId === "custom_namespace:custom_block_identifier") { system.run(() => { ev.block.dimension.runCommand(`/setblock ${x} ${y-1} ${z} redstone_block`)}) }

if it's a normal button like acacia_button then it's the same thing but replace custom_namespace:custom_block_identifier with minecraft:acacia_button

i think

[wraith solar]

it is a block that functions as a button

[wary parcel]

this then

[wary parcel]

(also the ${y-1} just means the block below wherever the block you interacted with it is)

[wary parcel]

if you're awake now do u know why the blocktest is returning true even though there obsidian isn't anywhere near the block? ```world.beforeEvents.playerInteractWithBlock.subscribe((ev) => {
const {x, y, z} = ev.block.location
if (ev.block.typeId === "qol:mystical_core") {
if (reacting === false) {

    let filter = {blockFilter:["minecraft:obsidian"]};
    let from = {x:ev.block.location.x-1,y:ev.block.location.y-1,z:ev.block.location.z}
    let to = {x:ev.block.location.x+1,y:ev.block.location.y-1,z:ev.block.location.z}
    let volume = new BlockVolume(from,to)
    let blocktest = ev.block.dimension.containsBlock(volume,filter)
  }```

ik the blockvolume is set up correctly cuz i did a fillblocks function and that worked correctly

[left swan]

So in the 3 blocks that it is detecting, it returns true even if there are no obsidian?

[wary parcel]

yea

[wary parcel]

thats correct

at least I think it's correct,

I set up world.sendMessage("" + blocktest) in the system.run which sends it as a string and it sends true so that should be whats happening unless for some reason the sendMessage is just saying that blocktest exists or something but that doesn't make sense

[left swan]

I won't be able to help much for the next hour to an hour and a half.

I don't think I have used containsBlock so I need to look at how it works when I get home

[wary parcel]

its pretty simple you just need a blockvolume and a filter (the filter checks that the type of block you want ((in this case obsidian)) is in the position you define)

[wary parcel]

do you know how getBlock works off the top of your head? cuz I couldn't figure out how it works

[left swan]

It returns the block

[wary parcel]

is it just the location, is it the type id or just the whole thing

cuz whatever i tried with it just didnt work at all lol

[left swan]

Just needs the location I believe

[wary parcel]

cuz block is more than just the position right? you're using the position you input in order to get the- nvm holdon i might have figured it out

yeeee kinda

figured out how to check one block at least

now i just want to optimize a bit instead of running that same thing a bajillion tomes

[wary parcel]

what is const {x,y,z} = ev.block.location doing? I can't figure out how to access the contents of... whatever that is, an object? idk, but it doesn't wanna work

nvm i figured that out already too sweeeeeet

[wary parcel]

everything is working yaaaaaaay

or at least it should

i havent finished setting it up but im pretty sure my smol knowledge of actionscript should help me finish up the rest of this since its very similar

[left swan]

The object is taking the x,y,z value from the location all at once. Useful for Vectors. I use it for multiple things, very useful

[wary parcel]

so is this just defining one object right? and then defining the properties of that object,

im wondering cuz it works as is here, but if i wanted to have x y z of another object i would have a clash so how do you add like, a reference to this object

currently I'm making arrays to check each layer of the build

[wary parcel]

nvm you assign it to a variable i thinks

[left swan]

The object defines 3 items from another object. block.location is an object called a Vector3.

[wary parcel]

if i understand correctly, it's not defining the items from that object, specifically it's defining properties for the new object, which it does by getting properties of that Vector3 object

or in other words, its defining its own properties, by copying properties from the Vector3 object

[left swan]

const {x,y,z} = block.location
works the same as
block.location.x, block.location.y, block.location.z

[wary parcel]

ye

[left swan]

Just makes it smaller

[wary parcel]

the .x tells it to grab the "x" property of block.location

doing the {x,y,z} creates a new object (as {} is the new object operator) and then setting it = to block.location gets the properties of that block.location and sets it to the properties of the new object

anyways

r u hom? :3

[left swan]

Been home for 3-4 hours

[wary parcel]

lol

[wary parcel]

i was gonna ask you if you had an idea but i ended up asking in other servers and also in script api general

[wary parcel]

ok

now I've got my nested while loop function

gonna test and try to get it to output stuff

[wary parcel]

so I think my plan is to use the loops to create an array of objects with the typeIds of each block

then in the rightclick definition for each of the reactors, I will add a if statement to check the array against a predetermined array to make sure everything lines up, that way I don't have to check that every single block matches

I can just check the whole thing at once

[left swan]

You still checking that each block matches, just in a different way. But that should work fine

[wary parcel]

it works!

[wary parcel]

yeah but then I don't need to run a comparison each time to get 27 different true values

tho ig technically I could maybe do that with a loop?

idk

still more efficient to check it once
