What i am trying to do is make an entity say hi when it is in a certain radius of another entity. I have used a scoreboard called PigProgress. What is happening is that I am giving a score of 1 to every porkchop item dropped. Then when a diamond is dropped next to i want them both to dissappear an then other things to happen.
I have tried this command but it has failed
/execute @e[score_PigProgress_min=1,score=1] ~ ~ ~ /execute @e[type=Item,r=1] {Item:{id:minecraft:diamond}} ~ ~ ~ /say hi
fill ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ wool 14fill ~ ~1 ~ ~ ~1 ~ redstone_blocktestforblocks ~ ~-1 ~ ~ ~-1 ~ [x2] [y2] [z2] where [x2] [y2] and [z2] are the coordinates of the target dropper.The dropper on the top is completely unnecessary and is only there because I used this in a tutorial. In the far right command block would be the command you want executed when the two droppers match.
While c=1 does create a sender bias, it also has the potential to create a "player" bias, which will attempt to target players first before targeting non-player entities. A player bias is dependent on the command/feature. The only cases where a player bias occurs is with /scoreboard commands (not counting /scoreboard teams join ... or /scoreboard players tag ...) and stored CommandStats.
The solution is to prevent targeting players, such as either with the type=!Player parameter:
/execute @e[name=setter] ~ ~ ~ scoreboard players operation @e[name=getter] test = @e[type=!Player,c=1] test
Or targeting the specific type of entity with @e[type=ArmorStand]:
/execute @e[name=setter] ~ ~ ~ scoreboard players operation @e[name=getter] test = @e[type=ArmorStand,c=1] test

There are two things wrong with your command.
The target selector for the first execute is wrong, although I assume this to be a typo. It should (probably) be
@e[score_PigProgress_min=1,score_PigProgress=1]although the second part is not really necessary, unless porkchops with a score of 2 are a different thing.
/executedoes not support matching dataTags, which is what you are attempting in the second execute. You will have to assign a scoreboard value for diamond items, similar to what you did with the porkchops.Lastly, to achieve what you want, I suggest summoning an invisible Armor Stand to work using the double execute and work from there. I.e.
This assumes all pork chops and only those have a PigProgress score of 1 or more, and all Diamond Items (and only those) have a
isDiamondscore of 1 or more.Now you can execute everything else (
/killing the items, saying "Hi", etc.) from the armor stand usingDon't forget to kill the armor stand in the end as well.
