Js Turret

Have you ever wanted to have a smart super lethal unbalance infinite ammo sentry? No? Well here it is.

With Js turret™ you can now terrorise your friends in a way smarter and way more targetable manner. Just place one down write some simple code in java script insert the code into the turret and let her rip.

With one single barrel and a fire rate of sixty shots per minute which all do an untested amount of damage she's a real threat to anyone.
All you have to do is to write some basic code to target that one friend and you're good to go (or just copy the code from below).

for (const target of entities) {
    if (target.name === "YourFriend") {
        block.lookAt(target.position.x, target.position.y, target.position.z)
        block.shoot();
    }
}

The crafting recipie is this

To insert the written code you can paste it into a book and quill and right click the turret block with it. All pages of the book will be combined and put one after the other.

Available Javascript functions

All of these functions are only available through the block structure.

lookAt(number x, number y, number z)

Makes the barrel look at a given coordinate.

Example:

block.lookAt(0, 1, 0);

shoot()

Shoots in the direction of the current facing.

Example:

block.shoot();

getPosition() -> Vec3dJS

Should return the position of the block with the Vec3dJS struct which contains x, y, z

Example:

const pos = block.getPosition();

rotatePitch(number degrees)

Rotates the turrets pitch by the given degrees.

Example:

block.rotatePitch(1);

rotateYaw(number degrees)

Rotates the turrets yaw by the given degrees.

Example:

block.rotateYaw(1);

In addition to these functions you have access to a list of near by entities with the entities const.
The entities const is a list of MinecraftEntity which is a structure with these values:

Vec3dJS position

The position of the entity in the Vec3dJS struct which contains x, y, z

String type

The entity type.
Example: entity.minecraft.player

String name

The name of the entity. This is either the player name or the entities name when renamed with a name tag. If neither of those are the case it is just the entity times name. Example: Squid or for items Slimeball or for players just the player name.
