im creating something for me and my friends to play in and we are trying to make it spawn 1 random block somewhere in the world the command i was gonna use was
execute as @s run setblock $(random_x_recipe) $(random_y_recipe) $(random_z_recipe) Crafting_table
or something like that any potential ways to do so?
#running a command in random cords

Is that not working?
gusty narwhal
no
tiny skiff
Do you have it marked as a macro line in the function?
tiny skiff
Yeah, don't think you're using macros correctly
I'm not super well versed in them so may need to wait for a helper who is, but I do know enough to recognize this isn't correct
Could also research on your own in the meantime

thank you

You need to put them all on a storage, then have the macro line in its own function, run the function with the storage, and also prefix the macro line with $

start your line with $
this defines a macro line and accepts macro variables
you need to run that command in a seperate function with storage
which means you need to store inside storage, not score
hollow silo
instead of store result @s x run ...
use store result storage infinitygames:temp Macro.x run ...
and then run a separate function with your macro command with
function other_function with storage infinitygames:temp Macro
that I'm storing the macro compound in a tag called Macro is just an arbitrary choice btw
shadow thunder
may i have an example?
-# init.mcfunction
execute store result storage foo:bar value int 1 run random value 1..100
function foo:say with storage foo:bar
-# say.mcfunction
$say $(value)
copying from the wiki isnt really helping yk
i know how to read
gusty narwhal
instead of `store result @s x run ...`
use `store result storage infinitygames:t...
thank you this explains it so much better

youre not supposed to copy

you can’t set blocks out of render distance though, i should warn
shadow thunder
you can forceload and unload again
gleaming solstice
cool
yeah there are ways around it i just wanted to make sure you were aware of that
gusty narwhal
i still cant seem to make it work is there any other way of inserting a value?
shadow thunder

for setblocks commands, no
macros are your only option
can you send your functions
gusty narwhal
sure
gusty narwhal
can you send your functions
the file?
gleaming solstice

macros are the only way unfortunately, aside from editing an entity’s position from scoreboards and then executing at the entity
shadow thunder
a screenshot of both functions
gleaming solstice
i can also help w macros if necessary
shadow thunder
the 4th line has to be ran inside a seperate function
shadow thunder
-# init.mcfunction
```hs
execute store result storage foo:bar value int 1 run ra...
!
gleaming solstice
uhh not necessarily
shadow thunder
uhh not necessarily
you cant use macros that way
gleaming solstice
if its already inside of a function run from elsewhere
u could just run that function with storage
shadow thunder
u could just run that function with storage
and cause an infinite loop
- values change again
gusty narwhal
what if insted i will just /spreadplayers an interaction entity then spawn a block under it?

gusty narwhal
tho wich one would be more tps efficient?
shadow thunder
?
if you run A in A, then the outcome is gonna crash his world
unless you make unecessary scoreboard/storage checks
shadow thunder
lets go over some basics:
- macro variables can only contain valurs from storage/entities/blocks
- your macro variable $(...) needs to have the same.name as your value inside storage ( a: "hello" = $(a) )
- macro lines are lines that start with $, thus allows macro variables
- macro variables are only defined through storage/entities/blocks, a function can be ran with one of these to define your macro variables ( /function foo:bar with storage ... )
save your randomized values into a storage instead of a score instead
execute store result score ... -> execute store result storage ...
