How to assign an entity to a player

[frank sky]

i am making guns but without instant raycast and i want to give points to players wich hit other players but i dont know how to check for wich player i should give points

[frank sky]

quick question

[frank sky]

what will happen if a player named .max join?

[timber ether]

That would break it, but that's why it's just an example. You can make your fake player have a # or $ at the start of the name, which are illegal characters for usernames, to avoid that problem. Starting it with a # will also make it not appear in the sidebar, if that's desirable behavior

[frank sky]

and if i reset the scoreboard without /advancement revoke @a it will break i too?

[timber ether]

I'm not sure what you mean

[frank sky]

all ids are stored in the scoreboard so if I reset this scoreboard this system will stop working

until i type this command

/advancement revoke @a

[timber ether]

...right, so don't do that

[frank sky]

oh ok

is this necessary?

{
"condition": "minecraft:entity_scores",
"entity": "this",
"scores": {
"playerid": {
"min": { "type": "minecraft:score", "target": { "type": "minecraft:fixed", "name": "#this" }, "score": "playerid" },
"max": { "type": "minecraft:score", "target": { "type": "minecraft:fixed", "name": "#this" }, "score": "playerid" }
}
}
}

[timber ether]

Yes

[frank sky]

cant i just copy player id score on bullet score and then find player on hit using macros?

or this thing does something else?

[timber ether]

This simplifies that process to not require macros

[frank sky]

i think i prefer to write a little more but understand what i am doing

[timber ether]

It will be worse for performance

[frank sky]

what folder should it be in?

predicates?

[timber ether]

That's a predicate, yes

[timber ether]

In 1.21+, the folder would just be predicate

[frank sky]

it is next to advancement and function?

[timber ether]

Yes

[frank sky]

i rejoined world and didnt get any score

nvm

i just needed to revoke advancement

i guess i just got it before i wrote code that gives me score

[timber ether]

That tracks

[frank sky]

thanks for help

[frank sky]

bro

[frank sky]

i typed this

/scoreboard players set #this player_id 0

and then this

/execute as @a[predicate=apex:match_id] run say I have the same ID.

and nothing shows

[timber ether]

Did you check what your id score is?

[frank sky]

(my score on player_id is 0)

[frank sky]

yes

[timber ether]

Show your predicate?

[frank sky]

{
"condition": "minecraft:entity_scores",
"entity": "this",
"scores": {
"playerid": {
"min": { "type": "minecraft:score", "target": { "type": "minecraft:fixed", "name": "#this" }, "score": "player_id" },
"max": { "type": "minecraft:score", "target": { "type": "minecraft:fixed", "name": "#this" }, "score": "player_id" }
}
}
}

i just changed playerid to player_id

[timber ether]

Good good, that's what I wanted to check

[frank sky]

but i did it everywhere

[timber ether]

Do you have something that's resetting the score of #this?

[frank sky]

i think no

[timber ether]

Oh, wait

[timber ether]

You didn't change one instance of playerid here

[frank sky]

bruh

[timber ether]

You changed it for the score you're checking of #this, but not the entry in the scores object

[frank sky]

yea it works now

[frank sky]

i did somethinglike this /execute as @a unless score @s player_id matches 0..999999 run advancement revoke @s only apex:first_join

will it work if someone is without score?

[timber ether]

You don't even need the 999999, but yes
