I'm building my house, and it uses petrified oak slabs on the upper part of the block. When I type in /fill 25 73 -355 -6 73 -324 petrified_oak_slab , it fills it a half of a block lower. When I tried /fill 25 73.5 -355 -6 73.5 -324 petrified_oak_slab, it tells me that the syntax is wrong. I don't have WorldEdit, or anything like that, and I don't want to fill it manually.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Try:
/execute <selector> ~ ~ ~ fill <relative coordinates> air 0 replace wool
[EDIT]
If you are wanting the block to disappear after a certain amount of time, say, 30 redstone ticks (60 game ticks), you could summon a WitherSkull below the player and use the execute command on it.
To make the block disappear, you would add a new scoreboard command, lifetime, for instance, and run /scoreboard players add @e[type=WitherSkull] lifetime 1 with a setblock or fill clock, then execute another fill command on every wither skull with a certain lifetime value, like:
/execute @e[type=WitherSkull,score_lifetime_min=31] ~ ~ ~ /fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ wool 0 replace air.
Then, you would kill the wither skull: /kill @e[type=WitherSkull,score_lifetime_min=35].
Here is a screenshot of what I did:
The parameters for the fill command are :
/fill <x1> <y1> <z1> <x2> <y2> <z2> <Tile Name>
So in your case it is:
/fill 536 17 157 509 17 184 <Your tile>

Block placement commands don't accept decimals for numerical inputs, as blocks always use the full block for their position. They can have a smaller hitbox or visual size using data tags. In your example, slabs have the available tags of waterlogged (in 1.13+) and type. Waterlogged can be set to true or false, and type can be set to bottom or top, defaulting to bottom. In your example, to get the top half of the slab, you take the command
And add the desired data tags to the end in square brackets ([])
If you wanted more data tags, they would be separated by commas
Data tags can be used to control many other blocks, such as stairs, anvils, chests, logs, vines, and just about everything else that isn't just a simple block. You probably don't want to waterlog your roof, though.
