[@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!

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

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.

[@OmLedu]

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.

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

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!

Ie: clock, daylight sensor, delayed cmd block. But i do believe you could also do that with the scoreboard cmd.. I don't know 100% how all you can use the scoreboard though.... i need to learn more about it!

why does the npc's arm dissapear on my thing

Arm disappears? I have no idea o.o Could you join my discord in order to post a screen shot? I'm not too sure what that means haha Are you using any add ons or mods? Ppl on reddit said they had that happen with some add ons

My npc can't open dialogue on enter. What is the problem?

[@OmLedu]

Uh oh, let's find out! If the command isn't working: type that command into your chat bar & let me know what the error message says. Or if you mean "can't open dialogue on enter" as in when you click on the npc no menu pops up at all, or as in you want a command to 'run on enter': let me know more about what you're trying to do.

[@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

It doesn’t seem to work for me i tried both and it hasn’t worked

[@OmLedu]

Oh no! Let's see! Write the command in your chat bar, that you wrote in the npc. Using your chat bar will give you an error message for what's wrong! Let me know what the error message is and I'll try to help you out :D

@@OmLedu it says “no target matched selector failed to find npc” i’m using the tag method btw

[@OmLedu]

@@Isnt_available Then it should be written correctly, but the npc doesn't have the tag :o Try re-tagging the npc! Capital letters do matter. I thiiiink it should say 1 entity tagged or something like thag after using the tag cmd... let me double check really quick one sec ...

[@OmLedu]

@@Isnt_available yeah it will say "added tag yourtaghere to NPC" if successful. So stand inside the npc and type /tag @e [type=npc, r=1] add yourtaghere Let me know if it still gives your troubles and we'll do some more troubleshooting :DD

In the Advanced NPC Settings try /dialogue open @e[x=#,y=#,z=#,r=1] @initiator # = Coordination numbers of the NPC (the NPC you want the dialogue from) r=1 will only pick any target entity within a one block radius of those coordinates.

/dialogue open @e [x=?, y=?, z=?, dx=1, dy=1, dz=1] @initiator

[@OmLedu]

@@georgesuh3770 Yeass, but I'd also recomend adding type=npc in there when using coords, so that a chicken or something doesn't mess it up by wandering into their hole lolol So /dialogue open @e [type=npc, x=?, y=?, z=?, dx=1, dy=1, dz=1] @initiator Or /dialogue open @e [type=npc, x=?, y=?, z=?, r=1] @initiator But tbh, coord targeting with npc is wonky. Almost every comment that needs help is because of coords. So I would highly highly recomend using tags instead of coords.
