when i rightclick on a npc it does NOTHING?!

[echo sonnet]

on right click on entity:
    if event-entity's name = "&7ʀɪɢʜᴛ-ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ &8| &7/ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅѕ":
        commands(event-player)
        broadcast "a"```

alright so fuck

i made a recording showing the problem

but im still embed muted

i'll try to explain, i used /npc rename &7ʀɪɢʜᴛ-ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ &8| &7/ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅѕ with citizens to set it's name to this, and when you right click this npc it would run a function. problem: it doesn't do anything. it does not broadcast a at all.

[lost ridge]

so uh event-entity might be the player. try clicked entity or player's target entity

[echo sonnet]

that's weird

this used to work

oh btw it should be display name instead of name, i did that on accident

on right click on entity:
    if event-entity's display name = "&7ʀɪɢʜᴛ-ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ &8| &7/ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅѕ":
        commands(event-player)
        broadcast "a"```

[echo sonnet]

neither of these work

[lost ridge]

hmm are you sure the if statement is passing?

[echo sonnet]

it's not

do you want me to dm you the video btw? might clear some things up idk

[lost ridge]

debug

[echo sonnet]

already did that

on right click on entity:
    broadcast "a"
    if player's target entity's display name = "&7ʀɪɢʜᴛ-ᴄʟɪᴄᴋ &8| &7/ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴀɴᴅѕ":
        commands(event-player)
        broadcast "b"```
it broadcasts a, but not b

[lost ridge]

so then broadcast the name and check

[echo sonnet]

ah smart

[lost ridge]

broadcast raw (X's name)

[echo sonnet]

i tried this but it sent <none>

set {_a} to target entity's displayname
broadcast "%{_a}%"```

[echo sonnet]

i don't know how to use this tbh

[lost ridge]

raw just means it wont format the string

like itll show &7some stuff not some stuff in grey

[echo sonnet]

i know what it does, just not how to use it in code

[lost ridge]

so broadcast the name and make sure its the one you check in the code

[echo sonnet]

didn't i do that here?

because that sent <none> and i don't know why

[lost ridge]

try just name of player's target entity

[echo sonnet]

it sends CIT-314bdbf8b7a73

updated code btw:

on right click on entity:
    broadcast "a"
    set {_a} to name of player's target entity
    broadcast "%{_a}%"
    if player's target entity's display name = {_a}:
        commands(event-player)
        broadcast "b"```

i tried displayname of player's target entity but that gave <none> again

[dry hatch]

maybe check the entity's nbt, then get the name that way (will require SkBee)

[green verge]

i would recommand adding a command within citizens to trigger a function

[clever surge]

This doesn't work because the displayname of the entity is stored in the CustomName tag, and its stored as nbt which means it needs to be de-serialized into a text component. If I remember tomorrow I might be able to write you up a function that can do it.

There's currently some functionality that can turn a text component INTO one of these serialized json strings, but nothing that can convert a serialized json string BACK into a normal text component: https://skripthub.net/docs/?id=11376

[echo sonnet]

i'm confused, when i used this a few months ago this would've worked?

[echo sonnet]

do you think that's the best way to do it?

[clever surge]

i dunno any other way

maybe it worked before but they updated something that caused it to bug out

[echo sonnet]

okay

could you help me with creating that function then?

[clever surge]

Yeah when I get an hour or so

[echo sonnet]

not looking to be rude but should i do it myself?

[livid hatch]

why not just make the npc run a command through citizens

[echo sonnet]

smart

although idk how

(yet)
