Gen boosts

[river grail]

I am trying to make a gen boost, like so my generators spawn example 2 items instead of one. it's a skygen. and i am using command blocks at the moment. i really need help (:

[rustic oak]

drop {boost} of {_item} at #location

You can create a global variable like {boost}
and edit its number with like a gen-boost command

[river grail]

will i need to make a boost for every gen then

and i wanna make the boost a voucher

[rustic oak]

Do you want to know how to skript or just want the code?

[river grail]

the code i would like (:

and learn how to skript

[exotic topaz]

how come you get to say spoonfeeding is bad but i dont?

@river grail just loop the list your gens are stored in

presumably you add the loc to a list when u place a gen

also, dont use command blocks... otherwise you have to change the commands in them.

[rustic oak]

I'm not sure if your trying to change my wording or just messed up big time. I think spooning feeding can be good at times you think it's bad

You can say what you want but your not helping that's what this was all about. Go back and read it

[exotic topaz]

spoonfeeding is always bad. im not sure what you think spoonfeeding is. any kind of feedback is not spoonfeeding. spoonfeeding is deliberatley solving a problem in a way that can be copy pasted, and provides no knowledge to the person that wants help unless they spend the time to go over it, which isnt guranteed

[rustic oak]

Giving out code, examples, I don't think that's bad in anyway. They might as well get rid of docs and tutorials. Making it impossible to learn. You're being stubborn. Not even trying to understand what I've been saying just giving your side

[exotic topaz]

examples are fine but giving people code sould at the very least come with an explanation of what it does/how it works.

Not even trying to understand what I've been saying just giving your side
I've understood what you're saying. You think that some scenarios where people need to be more involved with the helping proccess is ok, which I agree with. It is only, purley, spoonfeeding (see above) that i dont like.

And why WHY would anyone want to get rid of docs and tutorials? those are excelent sources. Sure, having a human to talk to that can be more versatile in help is always a good thing, but often the docs can solve issues on their own

[rustic oak]

Sure, I get you don't like that. That's why I'm talking to you. I don't get why you tell someone to not do something without context of how to actually do it.

No they shouldn't but I was trying make a point

I don't want this guys thread to go longer then it should. You can help him or I can

[exotic topaz]

We’ve both suggested things, its up to them what to do now

[exotic topaz]

I said (in the other thread): “they can help by providing correct syntax”, “give them nudges in the right direction”

[rustic oak]

Right but you know that's not gonna happen

[exotic topaz]

Thats what im upset about

[rustic oak]

It's not gonna set that example by just saying stop spoon feeding

[exotic topaz]

Yes, i could be more specific, saying things like “just tell them what to do, but let them figure it out on their own” but they never do; they rarely read the message, and if they do they respond “shut up im just helping”

[rustic oak]

Possibly or you could say that then give the person the docs they need. If you ping them they'll look over it. Their probably responding like that cause your just telling not to

[exotic topaz]

I’d be like a lifeguard, “no running” is the same as “please walk”. Either way as soon as i turn around they’ll forget

[rustic oak]

Hey you might already be one. That's life though people are gonna forget

Desperate people/people who find enjoyment will want to code more

Anways hopefully I made a point

[rustic oak]

Sound like a therapist

[river grail]

i don'r really know skript at all

[exotic topaz]

Well, send what you currently have. You said you were using command blocks?? Convert that to sk

[scenic grove]

I have a generator Skript I made myself where I use a command to set the block that the items are dropped at.
I recommend adding without velocity to the end of the drop line so that the items don't go anywhere

[river grail]

ok

[river grail]

do i need to do anything specific to convert it to sk or can i just copy the exact same thing?

[exotic topaz]

copy the commands? no just use skript to do it

like what was suggested earlier drop {_quantity} of {_item} at {_location}

and like it was also suggested you can have a boost variable, and have it set to 1 for normal, 2 for double, etc

or you could add instead of multiply (1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc)

or both;drop (({_quantity} * {boost::multiply}) + {boost::add})

since you're obviously new to Skript, id reccomend looking at tutoials. https://skunity.com/tutorials/ is a good place to start

[river grail]

thank u guys so much for the help (:

Would this command work?

drop {_1} of {_dirt} at {_168 149 64}

[exotic topaz]

no no no

{_word-here} is a variable

you need to set it to a number, item, or location

[exotic topaz]

.

[river grail]

i am trying to find

but i don't know what i need to learn

liek what to search

[exotic topaz]

start with the basics. https://github.com/sovdeeth/skript-tutorials
Sovde has good tutorials for beginners

[river grail]

ok

so i need to make a variable for every example location

or a variable for a item

[exotic topaz]

a variable for the location of every generator, yes. Make a list

[exotic topaz]

depends. You could just drop a diamond, but if you want a custom name/lore/nbt, id reccomend setting that as a variable

[river grail]

ok

i am watching a tutorial on how to make a variable at the moment

[exotic topaz]

wathcing?

no use sovdes

its very straightforward and gives examples

talks about lists too

[river grail]

yeah sovdees watching

[exotic topaz]

theres no video, what do you mean 'watching'?

[river grail]

i am watching the text

[exotic topaz]

looking at?

[river grail]

i meant

[exotic topaz]

oh

[river grail]

yeah

little strange what i said there

[exotic topaz]

yeah sorry
