Solved how to loop block correctly?

[gloatymadn]

I've been trying to loop blocks around the enchantment table.
The problem is that the loop-region is too big and the bookshelves that will be in the floor also count.
No matter how much I searched, I can't find a guide on how to correctly specify the region/zone for loop blocks.
i need loop blocks scan only 3x2x3 zone/region (enchanted table in the center of the region)

on rightclick on a enchanting table:
  if player isn't sneaking:
    cancel event
    set {_bs} to 0
    loop all blocks in radius 2.5 around the event-block:
      if loop-block is book shelf:
        add 1 to {_bs}
    if {_bs} >= 22:
      send "all ok" to player

you could use world edit / guard regions ... or add a check to see if the block is below the event block in y direction and disregard it

wg / we regions - not. beacuse this script replace action when player try to use enchanting table. When I said "region" i mean a loop-region, not a wg region.
or add a check to see if the block is below the event block in y direction and disregard it

how? I can't figure out how to select zone in the center of which the event-block would be located.

Or how do I check which block is placed on the right 2 blocks from the event-block

I can't figure out how to write it correctly, because I haven't found a great guide to loop-blocks.

you could manually set each based on direction
set {_west1} to block west of event-block
set {_west2} to block west of {_west1}
set {_east1} to block east of event-block
set {_east2} to block east of {_east1}
set {_above1} to block above of event-block
set {_above2} to block above of {_above1}

or like i said just exclude block below

solving problems with kludgy...

Anyway, thanks for the help, this is at least a working solution at the moment, but in the long run, such solutions cause a RAM & tps leak.

loop blocks within block ~ vector(-1,0,-1) and block ~ vector(1,1,1):

thank you very much!
Where can I see how to select an area correctly? list of loop expressions.

what do you mean?

 

[gloatymadn]

what do you mean?

expressions like "loop blocks within" , "loop blocks in radius" "loop blocks from the loop-block to the block 10 north of the loop-block" and e.t.c.

english it's not my main language, and I don't speak it well, so I do not know how to write something like "select all blocks in the 3x3 around event block" so that the script understands me.

you can loop anything thats a list

the loop section itself:

Loop (Section) - Skript

Loop sections repeat their code with multiple values. A loop will loop through all elements of the given expression, e.g. all players, worlds, items, etc. The conditions & effects inside the loop will be executed for every of those elements, which can be accessed with ‘loop-’, e.g. send "hello"...

skripthub.net

examples of expressions you can loop:

Blocks in Region (Expression) - Skript

All blocks in a region. This expression requires a supported regions plugin to be installed.

skripthub.net

Blocks (Expression) - Skript

Blocks relative to other blocks or between other blocks. Can be used to get blocks relative to other blocks or for looping. Blocks from/to and between will return a straight line whereas blocks within will return a cuboid.

skripthub.net

Block Sphere (Expression) - Skript

All blocks in a sphere around a center, mostly useful for looping.

skripthub.net

Items (Expression) - Skript

Items or blocks of a specific type, useful for looping.

skripthub.net

Drops Of Block (Expression) - Skript

A list of the items that will drop when a block is broken.

skripthub.net

to loop blocks in a 3x3 you need to:
1. get the center location, usually not a problem
2. offset it to 1 of the corners
3. offset the center to the opposite corner
4. loop blocks within both corners
