(JustinS) Trying to make a Force field / Shield (OLD: Flagging players with almost unique flags

[ancient relic]

Im trying to flag the players inside of a shield (an area), with "in_shield<player.uuid>" where the player is the one who made that shield.
My question is: How can I check for all flags that start with in_shield, and ignore the <player.uuid>?

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.

wait

maybe I found a workaround

yeah no that wouldnt work

What Im trying to do:
If theres 2 players inside the same shield, the if check should return false.
If theres 1 player inside a shield, and the target is outside, return true
If theres 1 player inside a shield, and the target is in a shield as well, but in a DIFFERENT shield than the player, return true

Cannot Find Searched Tag

Unknown tag.

Possible Confusion

Did you mean to search for worldtag.players?

[desert grotto]

ope

!tag cuboidtag.players

[gritty plank]

Tag: <AreaObject.players>

Gets a list of all players currently within the area.

Returns

ListTag(PlayerTag)

Examples

# Narrates a list of players' names that are within the area.
# For example: "List of players in 'my_cuboid': steve, alex, john, jane"
- narrate "List of players in 'my_cuboid': <cuboid[my_cuboid].players.formatted>"

areaobject not areatag kek, whoops

[ancient relic]

But how would I get the area? Im not noting it anywhere because it only exists for like 10-20 seconds

[desert grotto]

define or flag it

[ancient relic]

to what?

[desert grotto]

?

[ancient relic]

A flag requires something to flag it to. I cant just flag a location with its location

then I cant retrieve it anywhere

[desert grotto]

you can actually

[desert grotto]

server flag is global

[ancient relic]

then Ill do that

[ancient relic]

But then I come back to my original question

Im flagging the area as shield<player.uuid>

to link it to the player

oh wait

[ancient relic]

So I tried messing around with this and got it partially working. Only thing is, when I look at the sky, and the target becomes the player, I always get the message "You cant use the force on targets outside the shield". Here's what I've tried

I also tried changing the && to || though that didnt change it.

hmm right so the location is not right

the ellipsoid Im using

isnt defined properly (the one Im flagging)

I tried
<ellipsoid[<[origin].x>,<[origin].y>,<[origin.z]>,<[origin].world.name>,3.8,3.8,3.8]>
with
- define origin <player.location.add[0,1.2,0]>

but it doesnt recognize origin

Anyone know how to create an ellipsoid with a variable as location?

Am trying to return whether the player is inside the ellipsoid, which has the center <[origin]>

[desert grotto]

!tag to_ellipsoid

[gritty plank]

Tag: <LocationTag.to_ellipsoid[<size>]>

Returns an ellipsoid centered at this location with the specified size.
Size input is a vector of x,y,z size.

Group

areas

Returns

EllipsoidTag

[desert grotto]

maybe this?

something like <player.location.above[1.2].to_ellipsoid[3.8,3.8,3.8]>

or their .eye_location if thats what the 1.2 is doing

[ancient relic]

I think this works. Also requires some more testing but Ill do that soon. Thanks for pointing that tag out!
