So, I haven't coded anything yet as I am not sure if it is something that is possible to do with skript, so I came here to see if it is. So, when a player drops an item, for example, a golden apple, it drops the item on the ground. Now, I was on a cool server the other day and I noticed that it shows what the item is above the item. Here is an image of the feature that is used: https://imgur.com/a/ui5tT
Thanks :emoji_slight_smile:
 
I'll test it out! Thanks :emoji_wink:
[doublepost=1505689680,1505688783][/doublepost]Thanks. So, it works, but I have an issue. So, here is my code:
code_language.skript: 
on drop:
        set {_name} to name of entity
        bind hologram "%{_name}%" to entity for 1 second offset by 0, 1, 0

So, when I drop something, it says <none> for it's name, even though the name of the item I was holding was: "&cKing's Blood". Also, how do I make it so the hologram stays there the entire time while it is on the ground? Thanks :emoji_wink:
 
i don't have hologram btw i can't test it. but hmm... im not sure, maybe you can remove "for 1 second"?

btw for <none> use event-item instead entity
 
Thanks. So, removing the 1 second leaves an error. Thanks for the help though!
[doublepost=1505705965,1505703864][/doublepost]Also, the event-entity doesn't fix the issue. Here is all of my code:
code_language.skript: 
on drop:
        set {_name} to name of event-entity
        bind hologram "%{_name}%" to entity for 1 second offset by 0, 1, 0

It still shows <none>, and I can't seem to figure out how to keep it there. Also, I need this to happen when a player's item is being dropped after a kill, so I need an event that has this effect for whenever an item is dropped, not just from the player manually dropping it, but from kill drops as well. Thanks :emoji_wink:

event-item not entity.
 
There's not an event that covers all drops so for death drops you can use the death event and loop the drops and bind the hologram

Edit: nvm

Hey. Thanks for the reply guys! So, I figured that unless I can set the time limit on the binded hologram to how long the item is on the ground, I would just loop all of the items every tick and set the time limit for the binded hologram to 1 tick as it is the delay between every time it loops every item. Now, it should work fine, but I came across one issue which I don't know how to fix, which is that when you bind a hologram to something, it has to be defined as an entity. Now, I looped every item which doesn't loop every entity which is quite annoying because when I change the loop-item to loop-entity in the binded hologram code, it says that there is no match or something regarding loop-entity. I am quite bad at explaining things when it is complicated like this, so I apologize if you don't understand! It is my bad, not yours! Thanks!

Here is my Code:
code_language.skript: 
every tick in "world":
        loop all items:
                set {_name} to name of loop-item
                bind hologram "%{_name}%" to loop-entity for 1 tick offset by 0, 1, 0
Here is the Error:
code_language.skript: 
19.09 01:06:32 [Server] ERROR There's no loop that matches 'loop-entity' (scripts.sk, line 8: bind hologram "%{_name}%" to loop-entity for 1 tick offset by 0, 1, 0')

Thanks! :emoji_wink:

Loop all entities and check if loop-entity is a dropped item.

Or it might be more efficient to have a while loop on item spawn but I'm not sure what condition you would use for for it. So possibly something along these lines
code_language.skript: 
on item spawn:
    while event-item is set: #not sure if this would work
         bind hologram for 1 tick
         wait 1 tick
 
Hey - Thanks for the reply! So, you were 100% right - The method I suggested was very buggy and glitched a ton. So, I like your idea with the on item spawn event, but it says that an item stack is not involved in the on item spawn event.

Here is the Code:
code_language.skript: 
on item spawn:
        while event-item is set:
                set {_name} to name of event-item
                bind hologram "%{_name}%" to event-entity for 1 tick offset by 0, 1, 0
                wait 1 tick

did some test it didn't work what is said but
got it to work an other way.

code_language.skript: 
On item spawn:
    if name of event-item is set:
        Add "{CustomName:""%name of event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
    else:
        Add "{CustomName:""%event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
 
Hey, Wanted to use this on my server. However im getting a few errors:


[20:57:20 ERROR]: There's no item stack in an on item spawn event (dropped items have names.sk, line 2: if name of event-item is set:')
[20:57:20 ERROR]: 'else' has to be placed just after an 'if' or 'else if' section (dropped items have names.sk, line 4: else:')

What skript version are you using?
 
I don't think its a problem with the plugin, here the code i'm using

On item spawn:
if name of event-item is set:
Add "{CustomName:""%name of event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
else:
Add "{CustomName:""%event-item%"",CustomNameVisible:1}" To nbt of event-entity
 
Hey, so I tested it as well and I got the same error. Please help! Thanks a lot guys! :emoji_wink: Have a nice day!
