I'm trying to detect what the closest objective is out of a few different ones. My idea was to put all info into a list of maptags, get the lowest distance then access that particular maps other properties. After doing .lowest on the list to find lowest distance I'm not sure how to get the location and objective.
#(Isz) Get lowest value in map tag then access the others. Hard to explain.

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.
You can block this bot if you don't want to see these messages, I won't mind.

Don't worry about the if_null and max distance of 50, that's a problem for another day

Uhh. What line are you referring to? And what exactly are you trying to accomplish
Cuz uhh
I can kinda see but

!t location.distance

<player> is not available in a delta time event
find_blocks[].within[50] is going to bring your server to its knees
it's basically scanning several hundreds of thousands of blocks, and you are running it multiple times
expect a huge lag spike every 10 seconds once you get <player> available through a foreach

You can check the distance between points and find the lowest one
In your map I would make the distance first in the list
Then the other info trailing that

you can't get the points of arbitrary far-off blocks efficiently. if the blocks are in some static world instead, you can use that static location of the blocks
(like for example, this was not a survival world, but was instead some build where you manually placed all the blocks/objectives for people to do)
if it's a survival world, what you should be doing is slow-scanning for objectives over multiple ticks, and probably work in some of your own optis
for example, glowstone comes in clusters, so you probably don't have to check every location

Ye sorry I had removed some lines that loop through players on this stage of this quest
The blocks are preplaced but there's far too many of them to mark each location
I have got this working but you mention the find_blocks[50] will lag the server. This distance check thing only happens when a player is on this stage of this quest but I will look into changing it

How do I 'slow scan'?
viscid terrace
If it's preplaced then what you do is write a script that lets you mark each cluster easily, then go through marking each one. After that, you'll have 10-20 locations to check instead of hundreds of thousands
