Minecraft scoreboard scores as command arguments

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

Say I have a scoreboard named var, is there a way to use this score as an argument in a command, for instance:

\tp playername ~ playername.var ~

Which should teleport the player with the name playernameto the y coordinate equal to their var score?

Edit: My question is is this possible, not what mods support this or is this a suggestion for a new feature.

No, this is not possible (well, easily)

Minecraft sadly does not support insertion of scoreboard scores anywhere in a command, they can only be used in selectors (e.g. @a[score_myScore_=1]) or in the /scoreboard players test command.

However, there are a few (albeit complicated) workarounds. They work by running a bunch of conditional teleportation commands using distances decrementing in binary.

This command block modules fits your example, although I believe it uses the 1.8 command blocks. It shouldn't be too hard to adapt though, the mechanism is fairly intuitive.

However, that only fits your specific case. There is no general solution. 90% of the time you'll be able to do some binary version for that specific situation though, and if you ever make a good one, please let the community know :D

Minecraft – Using scoreboard objectives as arguments for commands

There is no way to directly use an objective as a command argument. Dinnerbone has said that the reason for this is that he wanted to avoid making commands into a full programming language.

The best you can do is something like this:

tp @a[score_Notch_Deaths_min=1,score_Notch_Deaths=1] 1 0 0
tp @a[score_Notch_Deaths_min=2,score_Notch_Deaths=2] 2 0 0
tp @a[score_Notch_Deaths_min=3,score_Notch_Deaths=3] 3 0 0

In separate command blocks, and then activate them all at once. It would be tedious to do by hand, so I'd suggest using an MCEdit filter such as Texelelf's command block filter to fill out the incrementing values automatically.

Minecraft – How to use a score in a different command in Minecraft

For Example, If their score for the stat is 26, every second a their other score goes up by 26

I'll use MainScore for "their other score", and Increment for "score for the stat".

The command you want is:

/execute @a ~ ~ ~ /scoreboard players operation @a[c=1] MainScore += @a[c=1] Increment

This makes each player add their Increment to their MainScore.
