Topic category: Help with modding (Java Edition)
I want to make a stuff tracker, but one that works with entities from external mods. Is there a way to do something like what I put in the image?
(edit) If this is not possible:
It's actually something I could do with command blocks, using /execute things.
Is there any way to simulate command block chains?
Something like:
CommBlock 1 - repeat - unconditional: execute if entity @e[type=supercreepers:sand_creeper]
CommBlock 2 - chain - conditional: execute as @e (etc)
CommBlock 3 - chain - unconditional: execute as @e (etc)
While I could hide command blocks in the worldspawn in y=-64, covered by bedrock, it would stop working if for some reason I changed the worldspawn.
PS: I put the name of a random mod that I don't know if it even exists, but it could be one of mowzie's mobs, MCA, etc.
I've found out how. It turns out there's a universal entity iterator, so I put a text variable with the name of the mob to track and compared it to the entity evaluated by the iteration.
Then a bit of trigonometry to see which entity was the closest. I was only interested in the distance in the XZ plane, if you want the 3D distance you have to add the squared term of the difference in Y.
I checked that it works with mod entities as well before making this auto-reply.
