Client Side Glowing Effect (using custom packet with MUNDOSK)

[aeim]

Hi,
I try to make a skript that allows to apply the glow effect on multiples entities but only visible to the player who executes the command. I try to send a custom packet to a player but that is not enough because it also needs to change the play_server_entity_metadata.

Here is my code and a few helpers:

command /glow:
    trigger:
        set {_packet} to new play_server_entity_effect packet
        set int pnum 0 of {_packet} to 8
        set byte pnum 0 of {_packet} to 24 #effect
        set byte pnum 1 of {_packet} to 1  #amplifier
        set int pnum 1 of {_packet} to 20  #duration
        set byte pnum 2 of {_packet} to 2  # 0=hide particle / 2=show particle
        send player packet {_packet}

result with a function:

ApplyGlowFor(loop-entity, player)

Thank you for your help

There is currently a problem with Skript and different number types that is preventing us from being able to do glow effect with packets, but we are working on a solution that will allow you to do this.

The function would be something like this (Modifying some code from @Snow-Pyon that was posted in the MundoSK discord channel)

function applyGlowFor(entity: entity, player: player):
   set {_packet} to new play_server_entity_metadata packet
   set {_player}'s world pentity 0 of {_packet} to {_entity}
   set {_json::0} to "64" parsed as a byte
   set "watchablecollection" pjson 0 of {_packet} to json from listvar {_json::*}
   send {_player} packet {_packet}

Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem that prevents the packet from working properly (Skript returns something that isn't a byte (probably a long) when parsing "64", but the packet requires a byte). If you want, you can try this to see if it works on your server, and you can also try to see if changing things in your aliases file helps.
