im trying to get it to run a command when the item is in inventory

[true sequoia]

if you want an item to give you an effect while holding it or just in your inventory in general, you can make a function with a command that uses the effect command with a selector that contains has item, and/or location arguments. you will have to put this function within tick.json or a script that triggers things on ticks in the same fashion.

if you use bridge, there's an extension that can help you with those commands called simple tools

@true sequoia my problem with that is I'm trying to tell it to do a scoreboard when item is in inventory but need the score board to set back to 0 when item leaves the inventory

[true sequoia]

you can do that with functions too.

it keeps adding the score up when i do that way so instead of it staying at 3 goes up 3 every tick and tried to do scoreboard player set but then it reset score of other items in inventory reset.

[true sequoia]

ah, that's a problem.

maybe you can use tags with the scoreboard instead.

not just that dont have way to detect when it leaves invtory to remove score

thank you tho for help didn't know you could do that with functions
