Minecraft – how to test relative square area

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

I'm making a minesweeper minigame, and I'm using NoAI chickens to represent mines, and armorstands to represent everything else. I want to increase the armorstands' scoreboard value by one for each adjacent chicken (diagonally or cardinally). I've figured out that it would be easiest to use an execute command from the chickens, but the problem is that @e[type=ArmorStand,r=1] doesn't get the diagonals, and @e[type=ArmorStand,r=2] gets armorstands two spaces away. Any ideas?

I found a solution myself. It involves using the relative coordinates in the /execute command. The command is:

/execute @e[type=Chicken] ~-1 ~ ~-1 scoreboard players add @e[type=ArmorStand,dx=2,dz=2] mine 1

You should use /execute to have the command executed from the player rather than the command block:

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ /testfor @e[type=Shulker,name=Code,r=1]

Minecraft – /tp Relative Coordinates

execute @p ~ ~ ~ /teleport @e[type=!player,r=20] ~ ~ -645

teleport is a command added in 1.10 that behaves exactly like tp, except that coordinates are relative to the executor.
