solved

[open pawn]

every 1 second: region is "afk": loop all players: give loop-player dirt
why doesn't this work? (no errors)

[warped granite]

every second is not a player so doesn't have a region

[open pawn]

so how would you do it then?

[warped granite]

every 1 second:
   loop all players:
       region of loop-player contains 'afk':
           give loop-player dirt

[warped granite]

region at loop-player contains "afk":

[open pawn]

no errors but doesn't give the dirt

[warped granite]

what does this return?

every 1 second:
   loop all players:
       broadcast "%region at loop-player%"

[open pawn]

"afk in world world"

[warped granite]

every 1 second:
   loop all players:
       "%region at loop-player%" contains "afk":
           give loop-player dirt

[open pawn]

that works thanks ❤️
