Macros and parameters in tellraw

[echo pumice]

how can I get for instance the name of a player and put it "behind my function" before I run the ../finishadd function? like a dynamic function

and can I put parameters into the string of a tellraw command in this arrangement?

-# is there somewhere better documentation for macros and indepth function use?

[open sapphire]

you forgot the $ at the beginning of the command

[echo pumice]

ooh

function in picture 2 now doesn't work anymore with the parameter
do I have to adjust something? I dont get errors

[open sapphire]

does the function show up in game?

[echo pumice]

yes

nothing in the logs either

ooh, I had to input it like that
it didnt give me feedback running it via the datapack

now I only need to know how to dynamically get and insert a players name

[open sapphire]

that or do "$(player)" in the other command

[carmine escarp]

^ which is probably easier than adding them to the player name as well

[open sapphire]

For the name, get a player's head through a loot table and fill it in with the fill_player_head loot function. The head item has an nbt called profile which contains a field called name. In there is the player's name.

You can store that name in a storage and use the storage as input for your macro function

[echo pumice]

can I have an undefined parameter?

[haughty vapor]

execute ... run function <function name> with storage <storage path> <nbt to use>

[open sapphire]

what do you mean by that?

[echo pumice]

having a macro function and dont run it with a paramater so i can leave the $(player) empty by default before the user enters a value manually

[open sapphire]

you can set the player name to "" and pass that in

[echo pumice]

oh cool

thank you guys

[open sapphire]

[echo pumice]
