[@OmLedu]

IMPORTANT!! If you have trouble with a command, type it into your chat bar. Then post the error message in the comments. (Use @s instead of @initiator) I would also highly recomend using tags instead of coordinates for targeting npcs. But if you're set on using coords, be sure to add "[type=npc," before the coordinates to avoid targeting mobs. If the error message says "no targets match the selector" increase the dx dy dz or the r= by 1 until it works or says something different. If it says "ambiguous too many targets" ensure that you have type=npc before the coords & the correct coordinates listed. Then change your dx dy dz to r=1, or vice versa. If that doesn't work, just use tags.

is there a way to do this without placing a lot of npcs? I need to make a lot of npcs and am afraid it'll make players lag if there's too many

[@OmLedu]

@@kingboo2981 luckily npcs don't lag :D or rather, they don't move/ pathfind. I had over 100 in a tiny area on a realm and didn't notice a single frame drop. Now there is a way I believe to do it without npcs by adding npc text files into one of the game folders. But aside from knowing that it exists, I don't know much about it. If you're interested though, look up the "dialogue change" cmd.

love the video. Some info for people (pls pin): Use the /tickingarea command with preload set to true so you can access box dialogue from anywhere, as long as it is in the ticking area If you want the npc to be accessed from a throwable, simply make a repeating command block that executes a command for every instance of the throwable object you choose: /execute at @e[type=] run dialogue open @p Then make the arrow point into a chain command block set to conditional and always active saying: /kill @e[type=] thanks for your time, good luck on building!

[@Select2Games]

Yes, when you throw the snowball (or any throwable, ranging from eggs to ender pearls to splash potions), it’ll use an execute command that makes the dialogue pop up it then deletes itself with the chain command block

Artificial ticking areas, or trying to target an npc being loaded by a different player doesn't work. But! One commenter mentioned you can use execute at in order to bypass that limitation. I havn't tested it to see, but it would make sense. The execute at would theoretically run the cmd in that location, but end up redirecting it to the player.

Hi! So I did this down to a T, and it was working great, it stopped working so I typed it into the chat and it told me “Selector for NPCS was too ambiguous and resulted in too many selections, select only one npc” however I was using the coordinates of the npc, as well as there is only one other npc in the world!

[@OmLedu]

@@jenniesworldie How odd! What target modifier are you using. Like @e then coordinates, or @e [type=npc coordinates]? Are you using ~~~ as the 2nd set of coords or like dx=1 dy=1 dz=1?

@@jenniesworldie hmmm try adding the type=npc to the dxdydz one. So @e [type=npc, x=, y=, z =, dx=1, dy=1, dz=1] If it says no target match, increase the d 1s until it says something else. If it still selecting too many, try deleting the decimal numbers. If still too many targets, try. @e [type=npc, x=26, y=62, z=1414, r=1] Then if "no targets match" keep increasing the r= until it says something different. I've seen more stable results from dxdydz, but r= can work as well. Coordinates with npcs are a huge pain for some crazy reason. Tbh I would recomend just using tags. Whenever I've tried coords with npcs it either works or it doesn't, but for no explicable reason. The same exact cmd will decide not to work & I never understand exactly why.

Yes!! But! You'd need to use cmd blockz. At least I havn't found a way to have multiple cmds activate in each slot.. So! The npc's cmd would actually be like /setblock 100 100 100 redstone_block To then activate as many cmd blocks as you desire :D (the 1st one being to remove that redstone block, then chains off of that) I love the idea of tagging to change the possibilities!!!

[@OmLedu]

@@Focused_Bedlam I don't believe there is a way to edit the npc UI without mods. There are several ways and options for displaying text on the screen though. Like title will pop up words basically anywhere on the screen that you want. You also might look into the change modifier for the dialogue cmd. From what I've read the dialogue change cmd essentially transforms npcs into different ones via text files that you write, then stick in the world files somewhere. They can even be player specific without using tags. I don't really know how it works, but from what I've read about it makes me think you might enjoy it.

[@OmLedu]

@@aqakeldy nope!! Just stick the "-" before the number :D Just keep in mind that npcs must be within the player's ticking area! So on sim 4, all npcs must be within 4 chunks of the chunk the player will be standing in. They don't work with artificially created ticking areas or places being loaded by other players. Also coordinates have given allot of people including myself trouble. I really don't understand why, but sometimes it works as it should but other times you have to keep increasing the selection radius... not spontaneous however! If it works once it works every time. But also with coords, include "[type=npc," in the brackets to prevent targeting animals or mobs that wander into the npcs. Tags are much more reliable ;] That's exciting though!!

Can you make ATM USING NPC. WHEN YOU WITHDRAW ITS EMERALD BUT WHEN YOU DEPOSIT THE EMERALD IT TURNS TO XP CAN YOU??

[@OmLedu]

You can have the npc's buttons /setblock x y z redstone_block to activate chains of cmds, so yes. To turn emeralds into xp would be like... /setblock x y z air (to clear the redstone block placed by the npc) /clear @p[hasitem = {item=emerald,quanitity=1..},r=10] emerald 0 1 Chain block Conditional - /xp 1L @p That would remove 1 emerald from the nearest player that has at least 1 emerald within 10 blocks of the cmd block & give that player 1 level. As for depositing and withdrawing.. there are several ways but the scoreboard would be the easiest since it is player specific. Depositing would be similar to the previous one Setblock air /clear @p[hasitem = {item=emerald,quanitity=1..},r=10] emerald 0 1 Chain conditional /scoreboard players add @p bank 1 That would add 1 to that players "bank" scoreboard if they have an emerald after removing 1 emerald. Then could have an option for like 10 and 100 so it's not always 1 at a time. Then to withdraw would be like setblock air /scoreboard players remove @p [r=10, scores={bank1..}] bank 1 Conditional Chain /give @p emerald 1 That removes 1 from the player's bank scoreboard if that player has 1 or more bank score & gives them 1 emerald

Is it possible to have an npc in front of you be replaced with a new one with different linked commands once you click a button?(ex. You bring an item to an npc. You hit a button that removes the item, rewards you and replaces the npc in front of you with a new one linked to new npc’s under the floor, all in one command?

[@OmLedu]

@@N0TE587 Yes! There are several ways you can accomplish that. How I would do it is through tagging the player, then using /execute unless/if cmds. So it would be something like pressing the button sets a redstone block. That block activates a series of cmds. The 1st one would attempt to /execute unless... tag=quest1 run /clear the item from the player. Then on that cmd have a conditional chain that /tag the player with quest1. Then have other cmds that have /execute if ... tag=quest1 run dialogue... /execute unless ... tag=quest1 run execute if ... tag=quest2 run dialogue Etc. Etc. Now 1 problem with that (depending on what you want) is it would still have the same button the next time you clicked on the npc. So you could either make the button a generic response like "about the job...." rather than "here is your item" Or! Instead of the 1st npc having that button to then activate commands you can instead have the npc set the redstone block "upon enter" That will then redirect you to the npc dialogue for whatever tags the player has because the cmd blocks will active before the 1st npc's menus pull up. Hope that makes sense!!! If not just let me know. More detailed examples: Main npc, upon enter /setblock 10,64,10 redstone block That triggers cmds. Impulse Unconditional needs redstone /execute unless entity @p [tag=quest1] run dialogue open @e [tag=npcquest1] @p Then that npc can /clear items, give tag quest 1 to show completion. The next command block also activated by the redstone block would be like: impulse unconditional needs redstone. Execute unless entity @p [tag=quest2] run execute if entity @p [tag=quest1] run dialogue open @e [tag=npcquest2] And so on & so forth. You can also specify multiple tags in the same tag=. So like [tag=quest1, quest2, quest3] There is also a dialogue change cmd that does exactly what you're looking for. But i'm sure exactly how it works, because you have to load the npc data as a text file into the game files in order to access it. Hope that makes sense! If not, just let me know :D

Hello! Is there a way to make an npc give players written books? I want to make an npc that gives players like a book for them to read when starting the game. Also, is it possible for a player to only use a button once? Like just for that player. For example] the player presses Give Diamond and receives 1 diamond. I want to stop players from spamming it so they don’t abuse that. Is that possible to make it clickable only once just for that player? Thank you.

[@OmLedu]

Yes and yes. So to make things only happen once per player give the player a tag after the final cmd block & have a check for that tag at the start. So for giving diamonds; Execute unless entity @p [tag=diamond] run give @p diamond then a chain that /tag @p add diamond As for giving a book that would need to be the /clone cmd. So you have the book in like an item frame (or maybe a lectern never tried that) /clone x y z x y z x y z lolol so the 1st 2 x y zs will be the coordinate of the book in the item from (or maybe lecturn) or even a chest/ container! The 3rd x y z is the destination. So like / clone 10 20 10 10 20 10 30 30 30 would clone what is at 10 20 10 to 30 30 30 so if it's a chest with a book, it will overwrite the chest at 30 30 30 with the chest that has the book. or if an item frame is cloned not on a wall, then it will just break as it is cloned so the player gets an item frame and the book haha If a chest overwrites a chest, you can't tell anything happened until you look in the chest.

[@WildAnmal]

@ Wow that’s so interesting! But how do you know if an npc or player already has a tag? I’ll try out the cloning technique. Thank you!

[@OmLedu]

@WildAnmal By adding the /execute unless entity @p [tag=nameofthetag] run /give diamond. So that checks the closest player to see if they have the tag, then if they do, it doesn't run the /give.

[@SlumpSkull]

Wait What? Mine isn’t working, when i click the button it doest open the dialogue. Even when i ran this command in chat it said “no targets match selector”

[@OmLedu]

Let's figure it out! So, the no targets match selector means that something is wrong with either the tags, or the coords. Depending on which you used. If you used coords, just double check the coords or increase the dx dy dz to 2 instead of 1. If you're using tags. Double check that the tags are correct (capital vs lower case letters do matter) Also, it will say something like "added tag to npc" if it successfully adds a tag. So double check that as well. If none of that works, try to provide me with as much detail as you can & together we can figure out what is wrong :D (I may take a while to respond though, cuz its 5am here & im heading to beds)

[@SlumpSkull]

Im using coords and I’ve double check them too. I increased the dx, dy and the dz from one to two and that didn’t work either

[@OmLedu]

@@SlumpSkull Yeah, coords can be annoying to use >.< It's super easy to miss a negative value, or get the Y value wrong. Lot's of people including myself have done the same. Or the NPC could be standing on the edge of a block.. But let's see! Try making the dx and dz negative (not the dy). So like dx=-2, dy=2, dz=-2 Or try r=2 instead of the d's So [x=10, y=10, z=10, r=2] I have more success with dx dy dz but the r will target more space. If those don't work, increase the d's or the R by 1, until it does select them. Odds are that it's either a missed negative or the Y value. Make sure the Y is their feet. So the coords when you're standing inside of the npc. If all else fails, I would recommend the tagging method! Or you can join my discord in order to post a bunch of pics of everything! Either way lmk if that does or doesn't work & we will get it figured out >:DDD

[@SlumpSkull]

I tried changing the dx and dz to negative numbers and tried using radius and that didnt work but i did just switch to the tag method and it worked first try!

[@OmLedu]

@@SlumpSkull awesomeeee!!! I really don't understand why coords give so much trouble sometimes. Even the last time I was testing coords for someone else having that problem it was acting strange X] Sometimes it would select them correctly, but other times it seemed to just refuse the targeting. Or like with the "R=" it wouldn't select 1 npc untill the selection box was so big that it would select 2 npcs that were 2 blocks apart -.- lololol but other times, it would just select 1 of them even at a lower radius

[@OmLedu]

If you're using coords; increase the d's or the r= by 1 until it works or says something different. I would highly recommend using tags rather than coords. If you are using tags; keep in mine that the npc must be within the player's simulation distance. If it is, but still failed to find it; then it isn't taged with the same tag that you are looking for. Remove/ add the tag again.

[@OmLedu]

@@Maunke. Ah! How interesting! I would guess it doesn't work 'on enter' because it's trying to pull up 2 dialogue boxes at the same time. 1 from the npc you click, then the other from the one the command is targeting.... Especially since the button and exit work.. you may just not be able to use the 'on enter' action with the dialogue cmd.. Let me think..... If you want it to be 'on enter' you might be able to: Have the npc set a redstone block on enter that activates command blocks that are trying to run the dialogue cmds. That way there is a slight delay in the dialogue activation.

[@Maunke.]

@@OmLedu Is it possible to create a delay without a command block?

[@OmLedu]

@@Maunke. I was wondering the same... I'm guessing you're wanting an npc that automatically changes its dialogue as soon as you interact with it? My best guess would still be using the cmd blocks for the cmds instead of inside npc. But to do that inside the npc... maaaaybe... like the execute cmd? ... idk if that would delay it enough to not conflict though.. 1 question I have is: how will you differentiate between what dialogue gets opened by the player. I'm assuming it's not just 1 dialogue that you want to open on enter. Otherwise you could just have that dialogue in the npc. So, as an example, if there are 2 potential dialogue options on enter, are you going to tag the player to differentiate which gets activated? If so, the "execute if" miiiiiiight work on enter since it will check the player tag before redirecting the dialogue... but it also might have the same issue.... All in all, i would either make a button or use command blocks. The button could be something flavorful like npc dialogue"How's it goin" button:"Well...." Then just have all the cmds set to "on exit" So the button doesn't actually do anything. But once you click it, or close it, it would activate one of the dialogue on exit
