the schedule command does not work

[lapis cedar]

As the arrow is shot from a bow, I am trying to schedule a function to run 1s after the arrow is detected. This does not work though

it does workl but not how you think it does

scheduled functions alway run as the server and at world spawn.

to make your code work, you have to mark your arrow and run the function as the marked entity with target selectors

an easy way is to store the result of a scheuled function in the score of the arrow and once the function runs, check the current time, store it in a score and compare it to existing entities, The entity that you stored the schedule scorte in will have the exact same value than the current time that it is when the schedule runs.

k, i understand but i have no clue howw to do any of that im a beginner.

is there anything like schedule?

i just needed a way to have a 'wait' command

[winter tapir]

what I just said

[lapis cedar]

k

[winter tapir]

it's really simple

[lapis cedar]

im dumb lmao, ill try my best but ty

[lapis cedar]

how do i check the time

[winter tapir]

first, you store the result of the schedule in the entity execute store result score <your entity> schedule_time run schedule <your function> append

[bright sequoia]

To check the time you can use a simple time check prediocate

execute as @e[type=arrow,<additional checks if necessary>] if predicate {condition:"minecraft:time_check",value:{min:{type:"minecraft:score",target:"this",score:"schedule_time"},max:{type:"minecraft:score",target:"this",score:"schedule_time"}}} run <your delayed function>

[winter tapir]

make sure to use your own score instead of schedule_time

[winter tapir]

this is a time check predicate in the command

in this case it comparse the current time against a range (the range being the stored score of the entity both for max and min)

if they match it runs the command

If you already know it's an arrow, add that as a type check like I did. It saves perfromance as the command doesn't have to search every entity if they are the correct one but only arrows.

[lapis cedar]

and all of this goes in tick.mcfunction?

[winter tapir]

hell no

[lapis cedar]

load?

or in the function i created alr

[winter tapir]

Whatever triggers the function to be scheduled needs to do the scheduling with the store command and the rest happens in the scheduled function

[lapis cedar]

sorry if itys a dumb question im just new to creating data packs

[winter tapir]

the scheduled function however should only do this

and everything else in that called function

[winter tapir]

it's fine, that's what this is all about

[lapis cedar]

this should go in the function i have already created?

[winter tapir]

from what I see, you schedule the function every tick rn. This is not good.

What should trigger this?

[lapis cedar]

what i want to trigger the schedule is whenever the bow gets shot. That command is in the tick function

[winter tapir]

don't do that.

We can use advancements and other methods to detect that.

[lapis cedar]

oh

[winter tapir]

or at least we use conditions in the tick function

[lapis cedar]

what other methods are there that will work the same way

[winter tapir]

ok, I had th ewrong advancement in mind. It only works for crossbows. But we can use a statistic that keeps track of shot crossbows in a scoreboadr and check that.

[lapis cedar]

im using a bow

but it will also work with a bow

[winter tapir]

For the bow we need the statistic

I need to ckeck what it was called

scoreboard objectives add a minecraft.used:minecraft.bow

this needs to go in the load function

a is just a placeholder, you can name it whatever you want

every time you use a bow it will go up by 1.

in the tick function we can detect that and run commands based on that.

[lapis cedar]

i figured there would be a scoreboard obj for it

[bright sequoia]

execute @a[scoes={a=1..}] as @e[type=arrow,<additional checks>] unless score @s schedule_time 1.. store result score @s schedule_time run schedule <delayed function> <time> append

[winter tapir]

it looks a bit wild

[lapis cedar]

cant i just reset the score to 0 after the function and then just check if the scoreboard 'a' = 1

[winter tapir]

It looks so wild I even forgoit parts and made mistakes, give me a second

[bright sequoia]

execute @a[scores={a=1..}] as @e[type=arrow,<additional checks>] unless score @s schedule_time 1.. run function namespace:scheduler_function

scheduler_function

scoreboard players reset @a a
execute store result score @s schedule_time run schedule <delayed function> <time> append

[lapis cedar]

wow this is alot so far, i gtg for now and ill try to when i get back tyy!

[winter tapir]

Yeah, it's not that simple to delay a function like saying "run in n seconds" but that's often with commands, seemingly simple stuff can be quite the undertaking but seemingly complex stuff can be done in 1 command.

[lapis cedar]

i have tested it and it appears that this line of code does not seem to run the function (i have checked)

ive tried to see what might be the problem but at this point its getting confusing for me

is the 'schedule_time' defined or is it a built in thing or smth

[winter tapir]

you have to define that in te load fuction (as dummy)

[lapis cedar]

scoreboard objectives add schedule_time dummy

is that how you do it

im not to sure

[winter tapir]

yes

[lapis cedar]

added it and the function still doesnt seem to run

i reset my scoreboard for 'a' ingame

and when its 1, the function doesnt run
