Block specific part of command

[brandipity]

Hey guys, I need your help here:

I'm trying to block the last portion of /spawnmob from working.

So /spawnmob creeper 1 (playername). I do NOT want (playername) to work.

I've tried a lot of things, none work.

Here's my most recent attempt:

on command "/spawnmob":
loop all players:
add loop player to {_list::*}
set {_list::*} to arguments
if command contains {_list::1}:
cancel event


What am I doing wrong? Any help is majorly appreciated!

Check for the size of the arguments to see if it's greater than 2

Thanks for the reply!

I’ve tried to use arguments with on command before and it doesn’t work.

It always tells me “arguments can only be used with command”.

How do I work around this?

Can you send the code you used there?

Unfortunately I can’t get to my laptop currently, but it went something like this:

on command “/spawnmob [<text>] [<text>] [<player>]”

if arg-3 is set:
cancel event

Something a bit like that.

You shouldn't put the [<text>] stuff in there, they won't work since it's on command, not an actual command. You also can't use arg-3, you have to use size of arguments. You might have to split arguments at every space tho, I'm not sure.

Can I count the number of characters in a command? There should only be two spaces. If someone runs it with three then obviously (player) is being added? How would I do this in code? I’m really new to Skript lol

Use https://skriptlang.github.io/Skript/expressions.html#ExprJoinSplit

Thanks for the link! Hadn’t seen that yet.

I’m still confused though, I don’t really need to join them do I? Is there just a way to count the number of a certain character? I have no idea how to implement any of that info.

Sorry for being such a nub

You have to use the split feature; there are 3 lines, use the second. That will turn the string into a list. If the size of that list > 2, it has a third argument.

Oh okay, that makes sense. What would the name of the list be? How do I use an operand to check if it’s greater than 2?

Thank you so much for all your help!

You can use `set {_l::*} to split arguments at " "`. Then you check `if size of {_l::*} > 2`. I recommend you read https://forums.skunity.com/wiki/general-skript-tutorial/ also

Awesome, thank you. I’ll give it a shot tonight and let you know how I get on.
