New to making datapacks how do I make this into a chance based effect | Datapack Hub | Page 1

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

I couldn't figure out how to make it trigger on hit so I settled with a proximity based trigger but Im not sure how to implement a predicate into it to make the outcome into a chance of occuring

#

Also Im probably not very efficient at this since I just learned how to do this yesterday but Im working with what I got

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 3:02 AM

#

on hit effects could be triggered with advancements or enchantments

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 3:06 AM

#

As for how to implement a chance predicate, do you know how to make a predicate?

#

@delicate saffron

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 3:19 AM

#

Yeah I already figured out how to attach the predicate, I however still don't know how to make the hit effect work or how to make it work on advancement

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

Well, do you know how to make an advancement?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

I do not

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

Alright, well I recommend going to Misode to help

#

If I'm understanding your goal, you'll be making a player_hurt_entity advancement trigger

#

That will let you detect which entity the player hurt, with what weapon, and you can also use a chance predicate

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 3:28 AM

#

Yeah at the moment I just have it so that a particle which is actually an entity is within 3 blocks triggers the predicate and if the predicate succeeds runs the command to give additional abilities

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 3:28 AM

#

Ok

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 4:08 AM

#

Which @ do I use for predicate

#

it stopped working and I forgot which it goes with

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 4:21 AM

#

need to know what code you got

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 4:23 AM

#

delicate saffron Which @ do I use for predicate

None?

#

Any?

#

I don't understand the question

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

I was using an @ command to make it launch the predicate, I only know it wasn't @a because it wasn't a player launching the command

#

I think I figured it out but idk

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 4:26 AM

#

@ isn't a command, it's used in target selectors

#

You can check a predicate as a target selector argument, and it can be used for any target selector

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

Im assuming its due to probable bad execution of the code since I don't entirely know what Im doing but the effect works, if I hit the correct mob with the correct skill it gives me the skill assigned to said mob, but after assigning more skills to be given from mobs it just ceases to work after predicate is added since it stopped working

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:08 AM

#

Are you revoking the advancement in the reward function?

#

You need to do that in order for it to be achievable again

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:15 AM

#

I haven't done the advancement thing yet Im trying to get it to work consistently before changing its activation conditions

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:16 AM

#

I see

#

Then you're gonna need to show your work if you want assistance

#

Cause I think we're running into an issue of language where you're describing things by what you call them, but not in a vocabulary that we share

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

how do I do the chat bubble thing where everything is in a gray box

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

Do you have an example?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

one sec

#

I got it

#

so this is probably very sloppy since I don't really know what Im doing but I had it like
execute as @e[predicate=gluttony:degenerate_obtained] as @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu,distance=..4] as @p run tensura edit @p ability grant tensura:degenerate

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

What

#

How is that an example of the grey chat bubble thing?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

I found out how to do it

#

or atleast I think

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

...

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

what's a tensura

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

I am not going to be able to help you if I can't follow your train of thought

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

a mod?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

its a mod

#

the bubble's not important I just wanted to make things neater

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

You ask how to do X, I ask for an example of X so I can answer, you give me Y, now I don't know what you want

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

is 'grey bubble' a text display?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

Yeah

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:22 AM

#

delicate saffron so this is probably very sloppy since I don't really know what Im doing but I ha...

You have way too many @e selectors here to be detecting anything useful

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:23 AM

#

I just did what worked

#

I had an entity spawning from the skill and if the entity spawned close enough to the target entity it triggered and gave me a skill with a 90% chance of failing

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:23 AM

#

yeah but it's likely not optimised or even logical

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

I know I just started doing all this yesterday

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

You're running a command as every entity that has that predicate, a command as every entity that is predator mist, another command as every other entity that is shizu and is within 4 blocks of the executing position (which currently is neither of those preceding entities), another command as the closest player to that executing position, a modded command

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

delicate saffron I know I just started doing all this yesterday

And that's fine

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

I don't know how to do things effectively I just find out ways to do them and go with tha

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

But that's why we need examples so we can explain what's going on

#

What do you actually want to be detecting here?

#

Explain in plain language

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:24 AM

#

what kind of ability do you want to activate and what does it check

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:25 AM

#

I want the predator ability, which just spawns a mist, to when in proximity (or ideally when damaging) the mob Shizu to trigger a command giving a skill

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:26 AM

#

Ok, none of this does that right now

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:26 AM

#

I had it working for several different mobs

#

until it stopped working

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:27 AM

#

You want to execute as and at each predator mist, if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu,distance=..4], the tensura skill command

#

The at is important because it changes where the rest of the command gets run from, which is important for the distance check. And then for the shizu, you don't need to execute as it, you can just check if it exists at all

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

so what would the command look like for that then? and why was what I did working at all?

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

as only changes who is running the rest of the command, but keeps running it at the current position

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

delicate saffron so what would the command look like for that then? and why was what I did workin...

We established it wasnt

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

It was though

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

More likely it was working inconsistently based on where you and the various other entities happened to be

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

when I used the ability predator it was giving me the desired skill from the correct mob

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:29 AM

#

Then idk what you even wanted

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:30 AM

#

Im trying to get it to happen consistently

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:30 AM

#

This will help do that

#

And I'm not going to write the command for you. I explained how it should look generally, so try to write it based on that, paste your result here, and we'll dissect it from there so you can learn

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:41 AM

#

I probably need a diagram

#

I still don't understand how this ability works

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:41 AM

#

like the ability predator?

#

the predator_mist?

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:43 AM

#

oak cave I still don't understand how this ability works

The ability summons a predator mist entity. They want to detect when the ability is used to kill a Shizu, so they are just detecting if a Shizu is nearby a Predator Mist, and if so, grant the nearest player (presumably the one who used the ability) a new tensura skill

#

And once they have that they can add an if predicate ... before the run to make it only happen on a random chance

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:44 AM

#

Yeah

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:44 AM

#

does the mist cloud happen to have an owner (origin)?

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:44 AM

#

I am however going to sleep, so if no one helps you troubleshoot the command you write based on this instruction...
#1308260757074608223 message

Then we'll pick up in the morning

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 5:45 AM

#

oak cave does the mist cloud happen to have an owner (origin)?

Let's get something working consistently at all first before we dive into details like that

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:45 AM

#

(I however am awake)

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:45 AM

#

I don't know what origin means here but it has to and can only be used by a player if that helps

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:46 AM

#

it is a modded ability so let's leave the origin thing for later

#

I can't be sure how it's implemented there

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:46 AM

#

Im not sure, I only know what I've managed to scrape together to work

#

I don't understand the as and at for the entity predator_mist

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:47 AM

#

what's your current advancement?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:48 AM

#

I don't have one for that yet, Im trying to get the ability to activate consistently, also Im not sure how to make the advancement trigger on a player using the skill

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:48 AM

#

if not advancement, then when does this function run?

#

or is this a tick function?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

its a tick function that I have constantly running but it only triggers if the entity predator_mist and the mob Shizu are near eachother

#

becuase I currently don't know how to make it a hit effect, and I can't get the effect to trigger consistently enough to even tell if it works as a hit effect

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:51 AM

#

so the first clause should be 'as every mist'

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:51 AM

#

so like I currently have execute as @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] if entity @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] as @p run tensura edit @p ability grant tensura:degenerate typed out, and everytime I use predator it runs the command to give me degenerate

#

wouldn't I have to specify the mod?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:52 AM

#

you just duplicated the mist check which is not only redundant but also duplicates the whole command quadratically

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:53 AM

#

I only did what I managed to get to work

#

I don't know how to make it work in any other way

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:54 AM

#

first clause you got right

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:54 AM

#

ah

#

so execute as @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] as @p run tensura edit @p ability grant tensura:degenerate

#

Which still works so that I understand

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:56 AM

#

yeah so the next part is moving the execution position to the mist

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:56 AM

#

which means what?

#

execute at?

#

so execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] as @p run tensura edit @p ability grant tensura:degenerate?

#

I just started this stuff so if it works I have no idea that I did it wrong, which is probably what led to the halt in the process working at all

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:58 AM

#

that should work yeah?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:58 AM

#

Yeah it still functions

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:59 AM

#

now check for the mob

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 5:59 AM

#

is it the same @e[type=mob]?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 5:59 AM

#

inbetween the mist and @p

#

you want to check if the mob exists

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:00 AM

#

Yeah Im asking if that's how I do it

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:01 AM

#

then the part you checked for the mob previously should work here

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:01 AM

#

Like what was in my original code?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:02 AM

#

yes

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:03 AM

#

so execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu] as @p run tensura edit @p ability grant tensura:degenerate?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:03 AM

#

try it now

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:04 AM

#

Yeah it works

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:05 AM

#

you forgot the distance

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:06 AM

#

well that just works if Shizu exists

#

but distance works too

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:07 AM

#

not 'but'

#

checking existence and distance should be in the same place

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:07 AM

#

No I was saying distance works tooo

#

execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu, distance=..4] as @p run tensura edit @p ability grant tensura:degenerate

#

that's what I have atm

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:08 AM

#

okay

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:08 AM

#

Is it possible to attach a message to that?

#

because currently it just silently gives you the ability

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:08 AM

#

the 2nd @p you should change to @s

#

@s stands for self

#

since you already selected a player

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:09 AM

#

okay

#

well now it works, I could go off distance for the trigger but would it be better to make hitting them the trigger?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:11 AM

#

who needs to hit whom?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:12 AM

#

Player hitting Shizu with predator

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:13 AM

#

exactly when the skill triggers?

#

this might be a little bit more difficult

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:14 AM

#

Maybe I just leave it a distance trigger then

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:14 AM

#

you could check if the shizu mob has been hit recently

#

but it doesn't specify how it got hit

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:15 AM

#

Where as currently it has to be predator near shizu, and only players can have predator so more specific but it could be cheesed

#

Though the datapack is intended for my friend group so thats not a huge issue

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:15 AM

#

hmm it's for multiplayer huh

#

it might grant the ability to the wrong player if they stand closer than you

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:16 AM

#

True

#

So how would I make it give it only to the correct player?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:17 AM

#

do you know about tick freeze?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:18 AM

#

Like the command that stops everything? Basically jojo style time stop?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:18 AM

#

yes

#

freeze, and then cast the spell

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:18 AM

#

Huh?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:18 AM

#

type /tick freeze in chat (not in functions)

#

and then cast predator

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:19 AM

#

So just stop everything from moving so I can cast predator?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:19 AM

#

I need to know what the mist is made out of so...

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:19 AM

#

Its an entity

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:20 AM

#

yes, and I need to know its entity data

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:20 AM

#

I don't know how to find that

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:20 AM

#

so freezing makes it easier to look at it

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:20 AM

#

Is there tick freeze in 1.19.2?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:20 AM

#

hmm, i don't know

#

if there's not we'll find another way

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:21 AM

#

I don't really understand the mist entity, I initially thought it was a particle until I was browsing the mod files

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:22 AM

#

how long does it last?

#

until it dies

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:23 AM

#

~1 second

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:24 AM

#

do you know about the /data command

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:24 AM

#

Sort of

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:25 AM

#

you can get the nbt data of some entity by using /data get entity

#

and then a selector

#

you want to get the data of a mist

#

or rather, I want you to

#

so we can dissect it

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:27 AM

#

So how do I specify the mist?

#

For the command in world

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:27 AM

#

like before, just an @e[type=...]

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:28 AM

#

Well I tried to summon the entity as well

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:28 AM

#

no I want you to cast it

#

summoning loses important context

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:29 AM

#

Apparently the entity predator_mist itself is invisible and the black particles it summons only appear when used by a player

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:29 AM

#

oak cave no I want you to cast it

and then use /data in time before it goes away

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:31 AM

#

The response I get is "Only one entity is allowed, but the provided selector allows more than one"

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:31 AM

#

seems like 1.19.2 doesn't have the command I wanted but uh

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:31 AM

#

delicate saffron The response I get is "Only one entity is allowed, but the provided selector all...

add a limit=1 inside brackets

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:32 AM

#

Where in them exactly?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:32 AM

#

after the type or before it, might work both ways but I'd put it after

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:34 AM

#

I don't think I understand

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:35 AM

#

[type=something, limit=1]

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:35 AM

#

Now I don't understand because it said no entity found

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:35 AM

#

because there's currently none

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

I got it

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

you have to cast it and paste the command quickly

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

I wasn't fast enough initially

#

Is it possible to copy the result?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

I haven't tried

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

I have the data result but there's a lot of stuff

#

Oh wait some of it is because of me one sec

#

Still a lot but now there's no items involved in it

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:38 AM

#

this stuff would've been easier on a later version

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:38 AM

#

This mod is only in 1.19.2

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:39 AM

#

can you scroll and post screenshots for the output?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:40 AM

#

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:41 AM

#

so it does have an owner right at the beginning

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:41 AM

#

is that helpful?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:42 AM

#

the owner is you

#

we don't want it to grant an ability to the wrong person

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:42 AM

#

okay

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:43 AM

#

so there's this thing called execute on that lets you access an entity's owner, or rider, or vehicle

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:43 AM

#

so do I replace execute with execute on?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:44 AM

#

first you select the mist, and then add on owner next to it

#

and try running something like say hi

#

if it comes out as you then it works

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:45 AM

#

so @e[type=tensura:predator_mist comes before on owner?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:45 AM

#

yes

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:45 AM

#

Im almost certain this is wrong but

#

execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] on owner if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu, distance=..4] as @p run tensura edit @s ability grant tensura:degenerate

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:46 AM

#

yes, that part enough is not complete

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:46 AM

#

for the skill not the hi

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:46 AM

#

does the say hi work

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:46 AM

#

imma change it for say hi too

#

uhhh

#

No

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:47 AM

#

what do you have right now for the hi?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] on owner if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu, distance=..4] as @p run say hi

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

no no

#

make a new command for the say hi

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

oh okay

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

for now, the skill command is not complete

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:49 AM

#

so for now do I disregard shizu and distance and just specify mist and owner to say hi?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:49 AM

#

yes

#

execute as @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] on owner run say hi

while it's not dead of course

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:51 AM

#

Maybe Im doing this wrong but nothing happens

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:52 AM

#

does it work without the owner part?

#

if the mist cloud does say hi, then owner doesn't work and I have no more ideas

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:52 AM

#

uh sort of

#

yeah

#

mist cloud said hi

#

well

#

I'll just have it distance related

#

it should be mostly fine

#

I might have another question but Im gonna see if I can do it myself first

#

oh wait

#

can I attach a message to the normal command?

#

so like when run tensura edit @s ability grant tensura:degenerate happens it notifies the user that they got degenerate instead of degenerate silently appearing in their list?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:57 AM

#

text displays?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

maybe

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

text displays don't exist until 1.19.4

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

shucks

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

so your only options are tellraw and say

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:58 AM

#

okay

#

also where would I put the predicate now?

#

would it be before the mist?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 6:59 AM

#

what is this predicate

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:00 AM

#

    "condition": "minecraft:random_chance",
    "chance": 0.9
}```

#

chance is gonna be changed but that's probably not important

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:00 AM

#

you want it to run once per mist so after

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:01 AM

#

okay so after mist before shizu then/

#

*?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:01 AM

#

yes

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:02 AM

#

how do I add the predicate, do I use as or at

#

or is it like @a or smth

#

execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] as @a[predicate=gluttony:degenerate_obtained] if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu, distance=..4] as @p run tensura edit @s ability grant tensura:degenerate is that right?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:04 AM

#

no, you use if predicate gluttony:degenerate_obtained

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:04 AM

#

okay

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:04 AM

#

they don't go in brackets

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:05 AM

#

I didn't know that, it worked so I thought it was right

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:06 AM

#

it worked because you're testing on single player

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:07 AM

#

execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] if predicate gluttony:degenerate_obtained if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu, distance=..4] as @p run tensura edit @s ability grant tensura:degenerate

#

like that?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:08 AM

#

yes

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:09 AM

#

whats the difference between tellraw and say?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:09 AM

#

tellraw is more customisable, with colour and styles

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:09 AM

#

is it also serverwide?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:10 AM

#

both of them can be

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:10 AM

#

but aren't by default?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:10 AM

#

tellraw can also be personal

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:11 AM

#

delicate saffron but aren't by default?

say is global, tellraw you have to specify who

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:11 AM

#

is it possible then to add a personal tellraw to the end of that code to also put in chat that they obtained degenerate?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:12 AM

#

yes, so instead of running the tensura command you run a new function

#

that contains the tensura command and the tellraw

#

run function somewhere:something

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

okay I'll try that and probably fail

#

does it matter what i name the function?

#

like it doesnt have to be like the load.mcfunction right?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:15 AM

#

delicate saffron does it matter what i name the function?

no

#

just give it a name that you won't fumble

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:22 AM

#

evidentally I didn't do the function right

#

wait maybe im just dumb

#

okay nevermind I don't know

#

so execute at @e[type=tensura:predator_mist] if predicate gluttony:degenerate_obtained if entity @e[type=tensura:shizu, distance=..4] run function gluttony:message.mcfunction

#

is that correct?

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 7:36 AM

#

without the .mcfunction

#

also add the as @p back here

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 7:51 AM

#

Alr

#

#

can I limit it to just saying it once? and only when degenerate is obtained?

#

I assume the repeat is there being several of the entities with one use

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 8:11 AM

#

I assume triggering only the first time would have to do with unless or if or smth

oak cave Nov 19, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

I don't know

#

can you check if you already have the skill?

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 4:46 PM

#

I can add a tag to myself when I get it

#

otherwise Im not sure how to check if I have it, I know it shows up in the /data for my player

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

You can check for tags in target selector arguments

#

@s[tag=foo.bar]

delicate saffron Nov 19, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

Is it possible to set a predicate where instead of the chance being something happens or doesnt, it has several potential outcomes? or is it simpler to make that run through an rng dummy where score = outcome

prisma sluice Nov 19, 2024, 6:45 PM

#

Predicates only return true or false, so yes a random scoreboard would be the way to go for something like that

delicate saffron Nov 27, 2024, 8:30 AM

#

So I currently have execute if predicate name:rng as @e[type=Villager] as @s run tag @e[type=Villager] add tagname

#

Which Im hoping makes it so on a % chance gives a villager a tag, but it's set as tick function to apply to any villagers, but I have no idea how to make it only run once, so it just keeps running until all villagers have the tag, how would I limit that?

prisma sluice Nov 27, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

Change this to just run as all villagers that do not have some arbitrary tag (such as checked), and have it run a function. Have that function give the checked tag as well as check the rng predicate to give the tag you actually care about

delicate saffron Nov 27, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

So have a function that checks if they have the tag, and then if they don't it runs a function to give them a tag

prisma sluice Nov 27, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

Yep
