Yes, I have looked this up in the forums, but none of the responses help me actually figure out how to make an NBT tag. Can someone please give me a detailed tutorial?
It really depends on what you need it for. An NBT tag can be anything; once you give an entity a custom NBT tag, it acts like a permanent variable that other procedures can reference. They're such a general tool it's kind of hard to offer a specific explanation.
If, for example, you have a procedure that gives an entity a custom NBT number tag named "awesomeness," you could then have another procedure that changes the value of awesomeness, or procedures that reference this tag to do different things to an entity.
Essentially, you can use the 'set custom NBT (number/logic/text) tag' to apply permanent values to an entity, and can then use the 'get NBT tag' to get that same value, if it exists; you just have to make sure to use the same name.
