I am making a PVP game and I need to detect when a player dies, but I also only want to detect that if the player is in the PVP arena. I want to be able to detect the last man standing and the one that died only inside the arena (part of the game mode). I have seen how to detect the death, but never how to limit it to a certain area/while they are in that game.

depending on the shape of your arena (square or circle), you can restrict a command to run only
if entity
is within a certain range. i usually use, also,execute as @a at @s
, as it quite literally targets (as) everyone (@a) as if (at) they were the individual (@s).in the instance of a cuboid (square/rectangular area), you'd want to use the
x
,y
,z
,dx
,dy
, anddz
arguments (or settings you need to specify) to choose the area you want to limit it to;x
is the X coordinate of your first corner.y
is the Y coordinate.z
is the Z.dx
is the distance on the X axis to the opposite corner.dy
is the distance on Y.dz
is the distance on Z.so, for an example, if i want to make a player say "hi" while in a 5x5x5 cube area, assuming the center is x0 y3 z0;
this would make it so if someone is in the area between the block at x2 y1 z2 and x-2 y5 z-2, it will run "say hi" as if that person ran the command itself.
