Minecraft – How to set a player’s scoreboard score to a player’s coordinates [1.15.2]

Disclaimer: I did not test this, but precluding Minecraft weirdness/bugs, this method should work.

@Kcats was on a very good track regarding stat.damageDealt, but there is one more step to it than just looking at this.

First, set up some scoreboard objectives:

/scoreboard objectives add damageDealt stat.damageDealt
/scoreboard objectives add hits dummy

Now make a fast clock (setblock/fill clock works best) and run the following in order

/scoreboard players add @a[score_damageDealt_min=1] hits 1
/scoreboard players set @a damageDealt 0

By using a second objective, we can decouple hits from damage done. If a player has dealt any kind of damage to anything in the last clock period, it is counted as a hit.

Due to the way this is set up, there are some quirks however:

• A hit that doesn't deal any damage due to armor or resistance effects or whatnot does not count.
• If you set someone on fire, poison or wither someone, every tick of damage probably counts as a hit (here's where I'm unsure of the exact workings of the stat.damageDealt).

So basically, you have a command that makes 2 scores identical and a score you want to subtract:

/scoreboard players operations (player1) (objectiveA) = (player2) (objectiveB)

(note player one and player two don't have to be different)

Next you would want a command that you subtract from (objectiveB):

/scoreboard player operations (player2) (ObjectiveB) -= (player2) (objectiveC)

Then you have a player selector in the next command. For instance:

/effect @p[score_Output_min=1] minecraft:slowness (time) (amplifier)

and that will show it is working right if you do the same general outline of what I did. Hope this helps. Just heads up this gets complicated real quick and it took me forever to figure out what i did wrong. I hope this helps you understand and recreate the idea if you need it.
