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.

you would need to reparse it

or better said, re-set it

Maybe that can be a cool feature to add a auto_update:true mechanic for text_display

Basically adjust the text_display text with the same text, just to update it

with a update delay options in the config.yml

It's pretty easy to do it yourself, but I think it'd be nice to have a shortcut

What kind of placeholder is it? You could just update whenever the value changes

Otherwise just world event and update it every x time

doesn't really seem like the kind of thing denizen would have

when i did this, i just deleted and re-created the entity every like 10 seconds

[summer pecan]

whole entity? O.O

text_display is pretty sufficient imo

^ doesn't really make sense to have such a specific thing built-in to Denizen - that's the point of a scripting plugin, you can make this yourself

Have a list of entities in a server flag (or maybe a world flag and run over loaded worlds), a delta time event with whatever update delay you'd like, etc.

(Or any other approach you'd like ofc, that's just off the top of my head)
