Does anyone know how I can make the skeleton of my data pack fire?

[quaint depot]

I'm making a data pack that makes the mobs more difficult, one of them the skeleton, I gave him full leather armor dyed red with a bow of power 10, so far so good, but the skeleton doesn't shoot me, someone help me?

As long as it has a bow it should have no problem shooting players that are in survival

So you may have something else going on.

[quaint depot]

What could be wrong?

[molten talon]

Off the top of my head:

• You may not be in survival
• You may be on the same team as the skeleton with friendly fire disabled
• The skeleton may have a low follow range attribute
  All of these would be things that you'd have to have intentionally done, though you may not have realized the impacts of

[quaint depot]

I think it's because of the second, I'm on the same team as him, how do I change that?

[molten talon]

With the team command 🙂

/team leave ... for either yourself or the skeleton. Depending on how you or it are being added to the team, you may just need to remove that functionality from your data pack

[quaint depot]

i will try

It still doesn't work, I already did /team leave. I don't think it's the range because the skeleton follows me, but it doesn't shoot or hit.

[quaint depot]

what else?

[molten talon]

You're positive it isn't being automatically re-added to the team? How was it added in the first place?

Oh also, make sure the bow is in its mainhand, not its offhand

[quaint depot]

I'm not sure, look at the code please :

[molten talon]

You certainly are putting the bow in the mainhand, so that's good. There isn't anything here that adds it to a team though, so I ask again, how did it get added to a team in the first place?

[quaint depot]

Apparently he wasn't on any team.

i should rewrite the code?

[molten talon]

What Minecraft version are you in?

[quaint depot]

1.20.1

[quaint depot]

I think that's why it's wrong, maybe that code is not for that version

[molten talon]

No, your code is fine for that version.

[quaint depot]

so what happens?

[quaint depot]

?

[molten talon]

I don't know, I don't have an explanation for the behavior you're describing

[quaint depot]

do you speak Spanish?

[quaint depot]

I think I know why it could be the error

[molten talon]

I do not

[molten talon]

Feel free to share

[quaint depot]

maybe something strange here?

[quaint depot]

check it pls

do you know what is the strangest thing?
It used to work, and something I accidentally changed ruined it, so it did work.

[molten talon]

No, enlighten me

[molten talon]

Nothing in this image has anything to do with why a skeleton would not shoot

[quaint depot]

Do you know anyone who might know what's going on?

[molten talon]

Perhaps another helper will have a better idea

[quaint depot]

present me some pls

[molten talon]

You can press the summon helpers button near the top of the thread

done

[gentle crest]

You are constantly replacing the skeletons bow, so I think every time it gets replaced the skeleton needs to reset the cooldown since it thinks it picked up a new bow.

[quaint depot]

where?

[gentle crest]

item replace entity @e[type=skeleton] ...

That's line 7.

||@quaint depot||

I recommend you remove the tag command from the function in the 2nd screenshot you send, and make the command in the 1st screenshot be item replace entity @e[type=skeleton,tag=!processed] ...

[quaint depot]

ok ty, i will try

[quaint depot]

line 7, first screenshot?

[quaint depot]

Could you put it in full please?

[gentle crest]

Just replace the beginning of the current item command you have with that, I'm on mobile right now.

[quaint depot]

okay wait

[quaint depot]

like this:

[gentle crest]

No. Sorry, I meant the first function, where you are giving the skeleton a bow.

[quaint depot]

in the first screenshot?

[gentle crest]

Yes

[gentle crest]

That line lol

[quaint depot]

now is okay?

[quaint depot]

oh ty

[gentle crest]

And remove that line from that function

[quaint depot]

okay

bro

[quaint depot]

why the skeleton isn´t shooting me ? i did everything

[gentle crest]

Did you /reload?

[quaint depot]

yes, but the skeleton doesn't shoot, but it sounds like he's trying to equip himself something

do you speak spanish?

[gentle crest]

I do not, no. Does the skeleton have the "processed" tag?

[gentle crest]

Actually, can you send screenshots of your current functions?

[quaint depot]

sure

[quaint depot]

yep

[gentle crest]

Also, Rule 5 of the server is "except for the #🌍┃german channels, speak English."

[quaint depot]

oh, ok sorry

[gentle crest]

It's good, just wanted to remind you. If you have a conversation in Spanish, then most people here won't be able to help you and the moderators won't know if you're breaking the rules or not.

[quaint depot]

yeah, i know

[quaint depot]

take a look

[gentle crest]

Can you send the inside of "modify_skeleton"?

[gentle crest]

On line 5, replace the selector with @e[type=skeleton,tag=!processed]

Everything above the tag command needs to have tag=!processed, pretty much

[quaint depot]

now it´s okay?

[gentle crest]

Is it?

[quaint depot]

i will check

[gentle crest]

👍

[quaint depot]

he is trying to shoot but he can´t

[quaint depot]

it sounds like it's trying to shoot, and when it dies it has the animation of shooting with the bow

[gentle crest]

Are there any other /data or /item commands you are doing on the skeleton that don't have tag=!processed?

[quaint depot]

this, it is tick.mcfunction

[gentle crest]

So, shouldn't this run apply_armor_and_bow instead of ..and_sword?

[quaint depot]

I changed it, because I confused it with something else I was doing, too.

I think something is missing

bro, guess what

it work

iit work !!!!!

ty man
