Minecraft – How to prevent the spreadplayers command from putting the zombies in trees

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I'm using the /spreadplayers command to randomly spawn zombies around the player for an adventure map. The problem with this is that there are trees and the zombies all end up on the trees and it gets boring. I've tried every method I can think of to fix this, and they either flat out don't work, or take a lot of time to do. If someone can help with this, that would be amazing, as I've been at it for a while.

I'm on minecraft 16w05b
I've tried using /execute @e ~ ~ ~ detect /testforblock ~ ~-1 ~
I've tried to re-spread all entities above a certain height
I've tried to give anything standing on leaves or above a certain height a score

I don't know what else to try or do! — if anyone can either successfully do one of these or think of another method, please tell me!

I do not have a solution as to how to use the /spreadplayers command to make this work. But, another solution to your problem (if the randomness is not that important) would be using the /summon command.

If you want to scatter the zombies around manually you will have to create multiple Command blocks though, but you can just copy-paste the commands and change out the coordinates.

Minecraft – Command to detect affected armorstands

I assume, based on your previous question, that you want the number of affected armor stands stored on the player. For that there is no need for CommandStats or /tp. You simply need to ensure the commands are activated in the correct order for a /fill clock (see here for a tutorial that covers activation order via /fill).

Otherwise, the set of commands is essentially the same as those in your previous question, albeit adding instead of setting to mimic CommandStats.

Prerequisites:

Objective to state how many armor stands were near the player.

/scoreboard objectives add ASNum dummy

Clock commands:

The following must be run in numerical order on a clock.

Reset the player's ASNum score to a default of 0.
```
/scoreboard players set @a ASNum 0
```
Cause armor stands around the player to increase their "ASNum" score by 1. This causes the player's score to be equal to the number of armor stands around them, rather than always 1, to mimic CommandStats.
```
/execute @e[type=ArmorStand] ~ ~ ~ scoreboard players add @a[r=10] ASNum 1
```

Players with an ASNum score of 0 would be those not within 10 blocks of an armor stand. Players with a score of 1 or higher will have that many armor stands around them.

/say @a[score_ASNum=0] had no armor stands near them.
/say @a[score_ASNum_min=1] has at least 1 armor stand near them.
/say @a[score_ASNum_min=10] has at least 10 armor stands near them.

Minecraft – How to change the FOV but not speed using commands

If it's not a problem, you can apply a speed debuff to armour through the use of attributes. If you do this, you can increase both the speed and the FOV with the Speed potion effect, then the attribute modifier on the boots will slow the player down. It'd take ages to tinker with and may have some odd consequences when jumping.

Just use this command as a base to start with to give the players boots, and play around with both the potency of the speed effect and the modifier on the boots.

/give @a minecraft:leather_boots 1 0 {AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.movementSpeed",Name:"speedDebuff",Slot:"feet",UUIDMost:1,UUIDLeast:1,Operation:1,Amount:-0.1}]}

Change the Amount:-0.1 at the end. This currently modifies the players speed by -0.1, or -10% (they're the same thing).
