How can I check if a location is flagged with any flags that end with _flag?

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.

should use subflags for this

[primal wedge]

I know. I made the system a while ago and don't feel like risking breaking everything over a small additional feature

Is there another way?

I could loop through the list of flags and check if the block has that flag

but I run this everytime a block breaks

is there a switch for this?

dont see it in the docs.. I see flagged but thats for players afaik

[cerulean laurel]

has_flag does not support wildcards

should switch to subflags

[stuck mist]

on the break blocks are you checking if the player is flagged vs the location.

[primal wedge]

I want to check the location

Im not checking anything in the event atm

[stuck mist]

on the break blocks you could check location_flagged

[primal wedge]

I said why I don't want to do that. I know it would be better, but I'm not asking that

[cerulean laurel]

You can also have a list of existing flag names and loop through them

[primal wedge]

Thought of that but I'd have to do that on every block breaks

[primal wedge]

.

is that not a bit bad for performance

or is it finee

its a short list

[cerulean laurel]

it's fine

still should think about switching to subflags

could have a second system that will update your thing when the block breaks

[primal wedge]

Cant I do location_flagged:flag1|flag2|flag3...?

in the on event

just thought of that

Try it and see!

If somebody pulled this up for you, you're probably asking a question of the public channel that's easier and faster to figure out by just attempting your idea in-game and looking at the result of that attempt.

location_flagged doesnt work with multiple flags ig

didnt work\

it does work with a single flag

thats stupid

[stuck mist]

if each flag on a block has different logic could add multiple and run the specific logic in each one.

[primal wedge]

nope

I need to remove the flags

if they have the flags

So basically, when a player breaks a block, and it has a flag ending with _block, remove that flag

[stuck mist]

I see

you could try this

on player breaks block location_flagged:test location_flagged:worst_flag:

[finite monolith]

Is that even valid?

[stuck mist]

works on my end

nevermind seems it only takes the last into account

Many newer scripters tend to not realize the important difference between "it works" and "it is correct". Just because a script works does not mean everything's fine.

Helpers are encouraged to refuse to continue helping a user with the "if it works it's good enough" mindset until they fix all the things that are wrong (but seem to work) in their script.
