!t locationtag.ray_trace

[thin lance]

Tag: <LocationTag.ray_trace[(range=<#.#>/{200});(return=<{precise}/block/normal>);(default=<{null}/air>);(fluids=<true/{false}>);(nonsolids=<true/{false}>);(entities=<matcher>);(ignore=<entity>|...);(raysize=<#.#>/{0})]>

Traces a line from this location towards the direction it's facing, returning the location of the first hit block or (optionally) entity.
This tag has also been referred to as 'cursor_on' or 'precise_cursor_on' in the past.
For ray tracing entities, see !tag LocationTag.ray_trace_target.
Using 'return=normal' instead replaces the old 'precise_impact_normal' tag.
Optionally specify:
range: (defaults to 200) a maximum distance (in blocks) to trace before giving up.
return: (defaults to prec...

# Destroys whatever solid block the player is looking at.
- define target <player.eye_location.ray_trace[return=block]||null>
- if <[target]> != null:
    - modifyblock <[target]> air

# Spawns a heart wherever the player is looking, no more than 5 blocks away.

Oh woops wrong one

!t locationtag.ray_trace_target

[thin lance]

Tag: <LocationTag.ray_trace_target[(range=<#.#>/{200});(blocks=<{true}/false>);(fluids=<true/{false}>);(nonsolids=<true/{false}>);(entities=<matcher>);(ignore=<entity>|...);(raysize=<#.#>/{0})]>

Traces a line from this location towards the direction it's facing, returning the first hit entity (if any).
This is similar to !tag LocationTag.precise_target and !tag PlayerTag.target, except offering more options for how the ray trace is performed.
For ray tracing locations, see !tag LocationTag.ray_trace.
Optionally specify:
range: (defaults to 200) a maximum distance (in blocks) to trace before giving up.
blocks: (defaults to true) specify "false" to ignore all blocks, ...

EntityTag

Examples

# Removes the entity a player is looking at.
- define target <player.eye_location.ray_trace_target[ignore=<player>]||null>
- if <[target]> != null:
    - remove <[target]>

# Returns any player within the view of an NPC.
- define target <npc.eye_location.ray_trace_target[entities=player;raysize=2]||null>

# Highlights an entity through any number or types of blocks.
- define target <player.eye_location.ray_trace_target[ignore=<player>;blocks=false]||null>
- if <[target]> != null:
    - adjust <[target]> glowing:true

Oh that works too

[novel path]

any solution that passes through glass?

[weary zinc]

Does that tag not account for transparent blocks?

[tough loom]

Doesn't seem like, no

[novel path]

no

[weary zinc]

Best way I can think of is to ray trace, and if you hit a block check if it's see-through, and start another ray trace after it if so

But uh, could you explain what exactly are you trying to do/make?

!xy

[thin lance]

Info: xy

Your question seems to be an XY Problem - you're asking about your attempted solution rather than your original problem.
Read in detail about the XY Problem here: http://xyproblem.info/

For an example of an XY Problem we've seen in Denizen, the question "how do I make an event for when a flag expires" has no answer, but the same question asked with full background detail will be something more like "I have this script: [LINK HERE], which sets a 3 minute cooldown flag on a player for when they use an ability. I want the player to be notified when the cooldown completes - how do I do this?" which we can then answer quite effectively (in this example, all that was needed was a simple wait command, no events or flag-listening or anything).

Or if it's already resolved then
