    type: item

    lore:

spawnbomber:
    type: world
    events:
        on player right clicks block:
            - determine passively cancelled
            - spawn bomber <context.relative>
        on bomber targets player:
            - while <context.target.is_living>:
                - spawn primed_tnt <context.entity.location>
                - ratelimit <context.entity> 5s```

but sometimes the zombie will spawn one or two tnts, and i want it to spawn the primed tnt consistently, so im assuming my code is wrong somewhere

[vapid knoll]

ratelimit should come before the code being ratelimited

[frigid fjord]

should also check if the context entity is spawned / exists to prevent errors when chunk gets unloaded

!t entity.is_living

[cyan burrow]

Tag: <EntityTag.is_living>

Returns whether the entity type is a living-type entity (eg a cow or a player or anything else that lives, as specifically opposed to non-living entities like paintings, etc).
Not to be confused with the idea of being alive - see !tag EntityTag.is_spawned.

Group

data

Returns

ElementTag(Boolean)

[frigid fjord]

This will always return true

should use the tag in the description instead of that

[red topaz]

i would go with a flag on the zombie rather than relying on a ratelimit

[frigid fjord]

I'm not sure what the ratelimit is for

[red topaz]

I uhh

think it's putting a delay on the loop somehow?

not sure how it's doing that tbh

i.e there's no wait on the loop

[frigid fjord]

doesnt make sense at all inside the loop, it would only run once?

[red topaz]

so it should in theory be spawning infinite tnts, but that's not what it's doing

yeah maybe

anyway, it's not how this should be tackled to begin with

afaik, a ratelimit at the end of code won't do anything

[frigid fjord]

ratelimit the event would make sense but would still start infinite while loops every 5 seconds

[frigid fjord]

use a flag when you dont want this
