(JustinS) Flagging entities

[hearty rapids]

When working with respawnable entities (think of custom bosses), what's the best way to flag them? If I flag the one Im looking at, kill it, and respawn it, it won't have that same flag will it?

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.

[unreal forge]

with mythicmobs mobs or regular mobs? and are you spawningthem yourself via a script?

[hearty rapids]

both types of mobs

[unreal forge]

if the latter, the save argument would work for both

[hearty rapids]

probably spawning them via a script, but we might use different plugins

[unreal forge]

!lang save arg

[clever temple]

Language: The Save Argument

The "save:<name>" argument is a special meta-argument that is available for all commands, but is only useful for some.
It is written like:

• run MyScript save:mysave

When the save argument is used, the results of the command will be saved on the queue, for later usage by the "entry" tag.

The useful entry keys available for any command are listed in the "Tags" documentation section for any command.
For example, the "run" command lists "<entry[saveName].created_queue>".
The "saveName" part should be replaced with whatever name you gave to the "save" argument,
and the "created_queue" part changes between commands.
Some commands have multiple save entry keys, some have just one, most don't have any.

Many users make the mistake of using dynamic save names like "save:<[something]>" - this is almost always wrong. Use a constant name, just like you do for definitions.

Script Command System

[unreal forge]

that will work for when you spawn them directly, but uh

it depends on how the other plugin spawns them to determine the other way

!c spawn

[clever temple]

Command: Spawn

Group

entity

Syntax

spawn [<entity>|...] (<location>) (target:<entity>) (persistent) (reason:<reason>)

Short Description

Spawns a list of entities at a certain location.

Description

Spawn an entity or list of entities at the specified location.

Accepts the 'target:<entity>' argument which will cause all spawned entities to follow and attack the targeted entity.

If the persistent argument is present, the entity will not despawn when no players are within range, causing the entity to remain until killed.

Optionally specify 'reason:<reason>' (Paper only) to specify the reason an entity is spawning for the 'entity spawns' event,
using any reason from <@link url https://hub.s...

• spawn entity save:myentity

its rough to determine how the other plugin works, but this is the biggest catch-all:

!event entity spawns

Event: entity spawns because cause

[hearty rapids]

hmm

I see

complicated

[unreal forge]

it can be but its fluent when you get used to it

[hearty rapids]

Ill need to figure out how our entities get spawned first

[unreal forge]

theres always a trigger

[hearty rapids]

Is it possible to make an entity always have a flag? E.g I make a big rock guy or smth, I want them to always have the flag "no_levitation", no matter how I spawn them

[unreal forge]

yeah

[hearty rapids]

Id have to use the spawn event, check if it's "big rock guy", then flag them right?

I think I got it

[unreal forge]

im grabbing an example from my servers scripts

[hearty rapids]

oh alrighty

[unreal forge]

ope i apparently dont have one, uh

i thought i made spiders spawn with a chance to be invisible and fast lol

https://github.com/b-Universe/b-network/blob/main/handlers/mobs/phantom_handler.dsc#L16

similar to how i make some phantoms bigger, youd just cast the effects

[hearty rapids]

👍 seems straightforward.

And I can even use the mythicmob mob spawns event

Ill give it a try, thanks!
