I am trying to test for if a player is at a certain x and z, but not a certain height, and I can't find anything that says how to do it.
Here's what I have:
/testfor @a[x=-50,z=79,r=1]
The problem is, it's only true if the player is standing on the command block, and I need it to be true if the player is anywhere directly above the command block, like five blocks above. What am I doing wrong?
An easier option might be to use a daylight sensor. Set it up with a string of Redstone and see how far the signal is when you set the time (/time set 18000).
Then, you can do something tricky like this to invert the signal:
What this will do, is when the signal from the daylight sensor dies, the Redstone torch will be turned on, firing up the command block.
I got the answer from Stefnotch from youtube. The command is:
/execute @a ~ ~ ~ detect ~ ~-1 ~ sand -1 tp @a ~ ~-5 ~

You could do this by using the cubic volume selectors (
dx,dy,dz) rather than a radius.For example, to test for players around (
-50,79) with any height (or rather, a height from -5000 to 5000):This tests for anyone with x from
-51(x) to-49(x + dx), a z from78(z) to80(z + dz), and y from-5000(y) to5000(y + dy)
