(fireml) ChunkLoad not working

[mellow widget]

hey so i've written a script which will load a chunk while a player is online. my problem is that chunkload doesn't seem to be doing anything. i executed my command then checked if the chunk was force loaded and it returned false. is it a problem with Denizen or am i just being dumb?

The chunk the player is on is already loaded

[mellow widget]

it tries to keep it force loaded

should show up in that tag iirc?

!c chunkload

[severe crest]

Command: ChunkLoad

Group

world

Syntax

chunkload ({add}/remove/removeall) [<chunk>|...] (duration:<value>)

Short Description

Keeps a chunk actively loaded and allowing activity.

Description

Forces a chunk to load and stay loaded in the world for the duration specified or until removed.
This will not persist over server restarts.
If no duration is specified it defaults to 0 (forever).
While a chunk is loaded all normal activity such as crop growth and npc activity continues,
other than activity that requires a nearby player.

[gloomy oar]

I dont think chunkload forces chunks to load

so the tag will return false

!m chunk.force_loaded

[severe crest]

Mechanism: force_loaded

Sets whether this plugin is force-loaded or not.
Unless you have a specific reason to use this, prefer !command chunkload.

Object

ChunkTag

Input

ElementTag(Boolean)

Tags

<ChunkTag.force_loaded> Returns whether the chunk is forced to stay loaded at all times.

Examples

- adjust <player.location.chunk> force_loaded:true

[mellow widget]

it says it in the command description

[gloomy oar]

It's a mechanism

[nocturne glen]

Force load is a different tag+mech pair afaik, yeah

[mellow widget]

makes sense though

i'll switch to that

[gloomy oar]

It's not forcing

[nocturne glen]

chunkload keeps the chunk loaded, but force_loaded is just a seprate thing

[gloomy oar]

Actually yeah it says it "forces" lmao

Bad description then I guess?

[mellow widget]

seems like it

[nocturne glen]

I mean, that is what it does - it's just easily confused with force_loaded

[mellow widget]

maybe change it to just "Keeps a chunk loaded in the world for the duration specified or until removed."

i updated everything and that tag/mech worked perfectly

[mellow widget]

i'll make a PR for this.
