why can't i grab the nbt tag from an item?

[kind hound]

1. Would be nice to see what exactly the option here is
2. Why do you have {} in the tag name?

[frank nacelle]

its required, wont let u set it without it and also returns the same <none> if u try it without them
and sure

{@eitem} is just event-item
{@editfishinv2} is the inventory name. that part imo is irrelevant bc the event works fine its just the tag

[kind hound]

Show me where you set the NBT

[mortal flax]

It's not required, does that option have the tag?

[kind hound]

why do you even have an option instead of just using event-slot anyways?

[frank nacelle]

im too lazy to type it out so i do that until im finished then i replace it, i know its weird but its my process

[frank nacelle]

no, and i get errors when i dont use them but il ltry again

[frank nacelle]

set slot (loop-value+9) of {@pci} to {%{_cni}%} named "%{commoncolor}%%{%{_cnn}%}%" with lore "&7&o%{%{_cnl}%}%%nl%%{commonlabel}%" with {@gnbt} with custom nbt from "{fishskript.editselected:%loop-value%}"

[mortal flax]

right but you're grabbing the NBT from an option, one which you never gave NBT, did you expect it to return something??

[kind hound]

yeah the tag name is "fishskript.editselected" then

no {} around it.

[frank nacelle]

no im not grabbing the nbt from an option. im grabbing it from the event-item. the option is set to event-item

the option is not the item itself

[mortal flax]

??

[kind hound]

you have options: eitem: event-item?

why

[mortal flax]

at that point just use event-item

not everything needs to be an option

[frank nacelle]

this is why i use it

even changing it to event-item yields the same result

[frank nacelle]

this is what happens when u dont use the {}

[kind hound]

not when you set the NBT compound, when you get the tag

alternatively just use one method for both setting and getting to simplify things:

#setting
set {_NBT} to custom NBT compound of {_yourItem}
set int tag "example" of {_NBT} to 12345

#getting
set {_NBT} to custom NBT compound of player's tool #or event-item or whatever
set {_value} to int tag "example" of {_NBT}
broadcast {_value}```

[frank nacelle]

still yields none even if i use the {} when setting but not checking

[kind hound]

show the code please

[kind hound]

this is what ive used in the past, maybe try it

[frank nacelle]

ive kinda already sent all the relevant code

ill try that bit

[kind hound]

not your latest attempts though

[frank nacelle]

else if {_rows} is between 2.01 and 3:
  set {_rn1} to ({_rows}+3)
  open chest inventory with {_rn1} rows named {@editfishinv2} to {_p}
  set slot {@5guiborder} of {@pci} to {@itemgui} with {@gnbt}
  set slot (17+(9*{_rows})) of {@pci} to {@backitem} with {@gnbt}
  loop {definedcommons} times:
    set {_cni} to "common%loop-value%item"
    set {_cnn} to "common%loop-value%"
    set {_cnl} to "common%loop-value%lore"
      if loop-value is 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7:
        set slot (loop-value+9) of {@pci} to {%{_cni}%} named "%{commoncolor}%%{%{_cnn}%}%" with lore "&7&o%{%{_cnl}%}%%nl%%{commonlabel}%" with {@gnbt} with custom nbt from "{fishskript.editselected:%loop-value%}"
      if (loop-value) is 8,9,10,11,12,13 or 14:
        set slot (loop-value+11) of {@pci} to {%{_cni}%} named "%{commoncolor}%%{%{_cnn}%}%" with lore "&7&o%{%{_cnl}%}%%nl%%{commonlabel}%" with {@gnbt} with custom nbt from "{fishskript.editselected:%loop-value%}"
      if (loop-value) is 15,16,17,18,19,20 or 21:
        set slot (loop-value+13) of {@pci} to {%{_cni}%} named "%{commoncolor}%%{%{_cnn}%}%" with lore "&7&o%{%{_cnl}%}%%nl%%{commonlabel}%" with {@gnbt} with custom nbt from "{fishskript.editselected:%loop-value%}"```

        set {_nbttag} to custom nbt compound of event-item
        set {_selected} to byte tag "minecraft:custom_data;fishskript.editselected" of {_nbttag}
        send "%{_selected}%" to player```

[frank nacelle]

still returns none

[kind hound]

you have an option for player's current inventory? Just use a local variable for the GUI:

set slot 14 of {_GUI} to potato
open {_GUI} to player```

[frank nacelle]

im not even worried about the options

they are temporary'

[frank nacelle]

i just dont understand why the nbt stuff isnt working
