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.

Could probably just use a proximity action instead

!a proximity

[deep raft]

when a player moves inside the NPC's proximity trigger's radius.

Context

None

[somber inlet]

!c trigger

[deep raft]

Command: Trigger

Required Plugins or Platforms

Citizens

Group

npc

Syntax

trigger [name:<trigger>] (state:{toggle}/true/false) (cooldown:<duration>) (radius:<#>)

Description

This command enables or disables an interact script trigger for the linked NPC.
This is generally meant to be used within the 'on assignment' action in an assignment script.
This might also be useful on timed activations or other special events (such as an NPC that "goes to bed" at the end of the day,
you might disable the proximity trigger that would otherwise normally show a greeting message).

The "name" argument is required, and can have any supported trigger name.

my man trust me you will NEVER need to use an infinite loop like while true

if you ever catch yourself doing that, PLEASE post here so we can help you find the proper way to do things

in this case, tech's solution is the right one

Okay so I want to spawn npcs that act like a wolf as a protective companion and fight with me and follow me, however, i want them to keep a distance of minimum 10 blocks

Also how can I refer to a specific player by his Minecraft name in code

[arctic crest]

Hoe would i do that

[rigid badger]

spawn a wolf npc then, and make its follow range 10

!t server.match_player

[deep raft]

Tag: <server.match_player[<name>]>

Returns the online player that best matches the input name.
EG, in a group of 'bo', 'bob', and 'bobby'... input 'bob' returns player object for 'bob',
input 'bobb' returns player object for 'bobby', and input 'b' returns player object for 'bo'.

Returns

PlayerTag

[arctic crest]

Nah i mean i wanna spaen bormsl human noc

[rigid badger]

!t server.match_offline_player

[deep raft]

Tag: <server.match_offline_player[<name>]>

Returns any player (online or offline) that best matches the input name.
EG, in a group of 'bo', 'bob', and 'bobby'... input 'bob' returns player object for 'bob',
input 'bobb' returns player object for 'bobby', and input 'b' returns player object for 'bo'.
When both an online player and an offline player match the name search, the online player will be returned.

Returns

PlayerTag

[arctic crest]

But i mean like the vanilla wolf behavior

[rigid badger]

use these tags to get usable PlayerTags from player names

[rigid badger]

then you'll have to code that yourself with sentinel, which i do not know how to

[arctic crest]

Okay so i should use the proximity trigger

Lets assume for now normal wolf

Is proximity trigger the only method or can i also have it following me always

If i am not near the npc

[rigid badger]

you can have it following you

thats basic citizens, you can find it in its wiki pretty easily

[arctic crest]

Yes i know but my goal is to have a margin between me and the npc when he follows me

Which is why i need denizen

[rigid badger]

actually i dont think you need, iirc theres an option for exactly that

[arctic crest]

I didnt find that

You got it?

[arctic crest]

?

[somber inlet]

from what I gathered, you want the npc to only follow you if it's within 10 blocks from the player?

follow_assignment:
  type: assignment
  actions:
    #this fires when you assign the script to the npc, you set the proximity radius this way
    on assignment:
    - trigger name:proximity state:true radius:10
    #when the player enters the proximity of the npc, make it follow the player
    on enter proximity:
    - follow
    #when they exit, make it stop following the player
    on exit proximity:
    - follow stop```

[arctic crest]

No follow me always with a margin of at least 10 blocks

[somber inlet]

!c follow

[deep raft]

Command: Follow

Group

entity

Syntax

follow (followers:<entity>|...) (stop/target:<entity>) (lead:<#.#>) (max:<#.#>) (speed:<#.#>) (allow_wander) (no_teleport)

Short Description

Causes a list of entities to follow a target.

Description

Causes a list of entities to follow a target.

Specify the list of followers or just one. If no follower is specified, will use the linked NPC.

Specify either the target to follow, or 'stop'. If no target is specified, will use the linked player.

Use 'speed' to set the movement speed multiplier.
Use 'lead' to set how far away the follower will remain from the target (ie, it won't try to get closer than the 'lead' distance).
Use 'max' to set the maximum distance between the follower and the tar...

Use 'lead' to set how far away the follower will remain from the target (ie, it won't try to get closer than the 'lead' distance).
