Hi, Is something like match_player an option for entities?

im tyring to do - define target_entity <entity[<context.args.get[1]>]> or <entity.uuid[<context.args.get[1]>]> (its for linking something from another plugin) but it doesnt seem to work

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.

what specifically are you trying to do?

spare owl what specifically are you trying to do?

Its kinda hard to explain but another plugin can only supply the mobs uuid via its placeholder system, so it runs that command like /command {mobuuid} so id like to be able to define that mob via the supplied uuid so I can do denizen things to it

#

you can use the <entity[uuid]> tag to construct an EntityTag

#

!l entitytag

spare owl !l entitytag

Cannot Find Searched Language

Unknown language.

#

Possible Confusion

Did you mean to search for objecttags?

spare owl Jul 21, 2025, 4:39 AM

#

!object entitytag

spare owl !object entitytag

ObjectType: EntityTag

An EntityTag represents a spawned entity, or a generic entity type.

Note that players and NPCs are valid EntityTags, but are generally represented by the more specific
PlayerTag and NPCTag objects.

Note that a spawned entity can be a living entity (a player, NPC, or mob) or a nonliving entity (a painting, item frame, etc).

This object type is flaggable.
Flags on this object type will be stored in the world chunk files as a part of the entity's NBT.

Prefix

e

Base Type

ElementTag

Implements

FlaggableObject, PropertyHolderObject

Format

The identity format for entities is a spawned entity's UUID, or an entity type.
For example, 'e@abc123' or 'e@zombie'.

server.match_player shouldn't be used here since it's not a player

karmic hawk Jul 21, 2025, 4:42 AM

#

it can be a player though

#

i want it to check if its a player

#

if its not then its a mob

#

the mob uuid part is the only part im having trouble with

can you run a debug?

#

!debug

gritty pineBOT Jul 21, 2025, 4:43 AM

spare owl !debug

Info: debug

If you need help with a script issue, one of the most powerful tools Denizen has to offer is full debug output. This is displaying in your console whenever scripts are running until you turn debug off. To share a debug log quickly and easily with helpers, simply run the command /denizen debug -r in-game to begin recording, then run through the part of the script you need help with, then run the command /denizen submit. This will give you a link to a paste of the debug log, which you can then copy/paste back to us!

#

i think i may see your issue, but it's a bit niche...

#

your first debug had an entity uuid of a6f992cc-95ef-4fd5-a7b1-f37764644e33

#

your second debug had an entity uuid of 6551a335-621f-41f3-8895-20e9a4672

#

if you notice, the first one is a proper uuid with 32 digits

#

the second one is not

karmic hawk Jul 21, 2025, 5:31 AM

#

the first one was an armadillo and the second was a llama

#

maybe i can ask our dev for more help :l

#

spare owl Jul 21, 2025, 5:33 AM

#
