Not detecting variable.attack_time from another entity

[little raft]

I used this function to define v.player v.player = 0; for_each(t.player, q.get_nearby_entities(5, 'minecraft:player'), {v.player = t.player; break});, then I used v.player -> v.attack_time > 0.1 but its not working, it work with another query but not with v.attack_time, someone have a solution?

Are you trying to test that variable in a none-player entity?

[little raft]

no, im trying to detect when the player attack

[languid solar]

Then why ur using q.get_nearby_entities

[little raft]

whats the problem with that?

[languid solar]

I need to know the context to help

[little raft]

its a dummy entity

[languid solar]

So it’s another entity which is testing if the nearby player is attacking

[little raft]

im trying to detect from the dummy entity when the player attack

[little raft]

yeah

[languid solar]

Just set “variable.attack_time” to public inside your player client

[little raft]

that would make the addon incompatible in the resource pack

[languid solar]

That’s the solution tho

[little raft]

Isn't there another way to detect when an entity attack?

[languid solar]

You could always just do it on the player side, like test if attacking and then trigger event on the nearest entity

[little raft]

What happens is that Im just trying to detect when player attacks from another entity so as not to edit the player.json

then I will have to settle for the system of hitting the dummy entity directly :/

I think the last part may be wrong, but not sure how the break is playing into it. Anyways, I transferred it something I was given before...

v.player = 0; for_each(t.player, q.get_nearby_entities(5, 'minecraft:player'), {v.player = t.player->v.attack_time > 0.1});

Not sure right tho, but notice the diff in the last part...

you need to set public for that variable first or else any other can't access it anyway lol

This is only for variables, queries will work fine without that
