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.

id redirect you to sentinel because Citizens are immune by default but uh, this isnt something either Citizens or Sentinel can do alone
you can do that with Denizen though

what's this
deft lichen
its an addon to Citizens, it adds a bunch of functionality to Citizens and has an entire scripting engine thrown in
silent gust
oh it's skript ?
deft lichen
similar, kind of
silent gust
fair
well i already have enough plugins imo
how do i make that with only citizens ?
deft lichen
can't
noble marsh
wrong answer
wat
pastel prism
That's very specific custom functionality, Citizens / Sentinel can't have every possible thing hard-coded in - that's exactly what plugins like Denizen are for
silent gust
if citizens can't have that hard coded why could denizens ?
pastel prism
Denizen doesn't, it's a scripting plugin with a lot of Citizens integration, which is useful for stuff like this exactly
Adding a /sentinel randomTpOnFireAspect wouldn't make much sense, but making a Denizen script to do that is pretty quick and easy - shouldn't be more than 1/2 lines
deft lichen
with denizen, it'd be roughly something like:
scriptname:
type: assignment
actions:
on click:
if player is holding something with fire aspect,
teleport randomly 7 blocks away
thats not literal, just pseudocode - but it's all you would need, those six lines entirely
the tags wouldnt be hard to figure out once you learned it
pastel prism
But then why not randomTpOnPlayerWithDiamondSwordAttack, flyWhenDragonNearby, strikeLightningOnPlayerMove... - small specific stuff like this are exactly what Denizen is useful for
silent gust
the tags wouldnt be hard to figure out once you learned it
learn ?
oh wait so it's not a config ?
bruh i'm a server admin guys not a programmer
noble marsh
It is scripting yeah
silent gust
i don't know code
noble marsh
Easier to learn than java
pastel prism
A lot of people started learning Denizen with 0 knowledge, it's pretty simple and easy to get a hang of - we also provide support for it here so we're available to help whenever
An example of a denizen script could be
- hurt <player> 5
- narrate "You took 5 damage! you will now be teleported to the lobby!"
- teleport <world[lobby].spawn_location>
i don't understand
at which point do you get the player's 7 blocks radius ?
also it should teleport the npc when it gets hit by fire aspect not when it gets 5 damage
pastel prism
That's not that script, it's just an example of what a script may look like
To hopefully show how the syntax isn't complex, and is usually pretty easy to get the hang of even without prior knowledge
Either way, adding something this specific into Citizens/Sentinel doesn't really make sense for the reasons explained above, something like Denizen is the solution a lot of people use for creating custom functionality like this, and we can help with that over at #1026104994149171200
silent gust
oh well so i needa make another channel ?
pastel prism
You can make a post in #1026104994149171200 if you'd like to start learning it, yeah
