Solved Place block, save name... NBT??

[ShaneBee]

Hey all

So i have tried this numerous times and I am lost. I want to be able to set a block with a name, and then when I place the block on the ground it saves the name, so when I break it its the same name, vs reverting back to the blocks original name.
I read somewhere you do this with NBT data? But I have no clue how to do that. How would one go about doing this?
Thanks

Maybe something like this?

on place:
    add "{YourTag:""%name of player's tool%""}" to nbt of event-block

on break:
    if nbt of event-block contains "YourTag":
        set {_YourTag} to tag "YourTag" of nbt of event-block
        clear drops
        drop 1 of event-block named "%{_YourTag}%"

Hey
Thanks for that, i threw it in, and this is what I get back from my console
[19:25:28 ERROR]: can't understand this condition: 'nbt of event-block contains "YourTag"' (tool.sk, line 46: if nbt of event-block contains "YourTag":')

Ohh ... i think this will work:

if "%nbt of event-block%" contains "YourTag":

Hey, thanks Hacker, The code works (no errors)
but the action doesn't work.
I did some more reading and apparently standard blocks that don't require anything to happen in them don't actually save NBT on placement.
So sadly, this doesn't work.

But I found another fix around it, so thanks again or your help

Hey this intrigues me, would you mind posting the solution for me to examine and for any others wondering as well?
