Minecraft – Targetting players with a specific score doesn’t seem to work

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

How can I target a player with a specific score? For example: Set the score of Score to 100 for every player with 1 Point in the scoreboard objective ScoreB. I tried

/scoreboard players add @a[score_Score_min=1] Score 1

and it actually worked. But then i set the score for a "player" named "Test" to 1 and it didn't get points. What did I do wrong?

It sounds like "Test" is not a real player.

The problem in this case is that target selectors like @a[...] can only resolve / find entities that exist somewhere in the world and are loaded.

This means that while you can change the scores of fake or offline players (scoreboard scores are stored in scoreboard.dat rather than playerdata) by specifying their name directly, i.e.

/scoreboard players set Rayset Score 29

You can not use target selectors unless there is an entity to resolve.

If an entity exists, your command is correct. @a[score_Score_min=1] resolves all player entities with a Score score of at least 1.

Minecraft – is there a way to show a players score on a sign

You can do it with setblock. This is a great tutorial that I use a lot.

Basically, you can set the NBT data of a sign when you setblock it. Just do

/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wall_sign 0 replace {
    Text1:"{
        selector:\"@p[team=Team1]\"
    }",
    Text2:"{
        score:{
            name:\"@p[team=Team1]\",
            objective:\"points\"
        }
    }"
}

This will create a sign with the closest player from team Team1's name on the first line and their score in points on the second line. You can also color the lines, choose different players, etc. There is really a lot you can do with it.

Minecraft – Select player that does not have a specific score set

The problem is that you can't target someone without a score using a score selector. So the solution, not surprisingly, is to give everyone a score. You don't have to change anyone's score value either; instead, just "increment" everyone's score by 0, in your case, with the following command:

/scoreboard players add @a hasJoined 0

Better yet, throw that command in a command block that is triggered off a 20Hz clock, and you're guaranteed that everyone always has a score.

The way this works is that everyone that already has a score in the hasJoined objective won't have their score changed, but everyone else will have their hasJoined score set to 0.
