How to set a block to a block name stored in a variable

[cottondell]

Hi!
I want to set a block to another block which is stored in a variable.
This is the line of code ive tried:
set block at location of block to {block}

The location of block is the location of a block which was broken because what i want is a system where when a block is broken, its gets replaced with the same block, to do this i also tried:
set block at location of block to block
but that doesn't work either.

No errors show up when i reload skript, it just doesnt work when i try it.

Please Help, thank you!

That came up with this error:

That works but if i try,
set event-block to {block}
it doesn't work.

Also, how do you asign text to be script on skunity?

 

[cottondell]

well it is coal ore by default but when you level up it changes to a different block and thx.

on place:
    if name of player's tool is "&6&lRegenerating Block":
        set {rb.player.%location of block%} to player
        set {rb.pos.%location of block%} to true
        set {rb.block.%location of block%} to "coal ore" -- this line is temp, i would have it so it is the blocks name that was placed
        create a new hologram with line "&6&lGenerator" and store in {holograms.gb.%player%.%location of block%}
        

on break:
    if {rb.pos.%location of block%} is true:
        if {rb.player.%location of block%} is player:
            wait 0.1 seconds
            set event-block to {rb.block.%location of block%}
        else:
            message "{@MsgPrefix} &4You can not use other peoples Generator blocks!"
            cancel event

 

[cottondell]

nope:

set {rb.block.%location of block%} to "coal ore" - would be set to the block placed down

 

[cottondell]

that works but is there a way to have {rg.block.%location of block%} set to the block's name cause i have it in an "on place"?

 

[cottondell]

If you mean "set event-block at event-location to {block}" then this happens:

that works but i need it so if the block placed down was a grass_block then {rb.block.BLOCK} is set to grass_block but if the block placed down is a block of stone then {rb.block.BLOCK} is set to stone.
(they would need to be named correct but i already have a cmd to give you a block named correctly)
[doublepost=1566237459,1566236668][/doublepost]what i done is close too working but after the wait it sets the variable to air?!?!

on break:
    if {rb.pos.%location of block%} is true:
        if {rb.player.%location of block%} is player:
            message "%{rb.block.%location of block%}%"
            wait 0.1 seconds <-------
            message "%{rb.block.%location of block%}%"
            set event-block to {rb.block.%location of block%}
        else:
            message "{@MsgPrefix} &4You can not use other peoples Generator blocks!"
            cancel event

 

[cottondell]

says the same thing, and if i had {rb.block.%event-block%}, if i had multiple of the same block would it be personalized to each block

 

[cottondell]

Basically im making regenerating blocks which when you break, it replaces it with what it was so i need {rb.block.%event-block%} to set the block to what it was before it was broken. so i need it so {rb.block.%event-block%} is different even if the same block was placed down but in a different posittion because i also have {rb.player.%event-block%} so i can see if the player breaking the block is the owner of the regenerating block and the players can have multiple RegeneratingBlocks placed down.
I'm sorry for confusing you.
[doublepost=1566239419,1566239168][/doublepost]If theres a way too easily set a block to what it was before it was broken then that would be fine

 

[H3A]

set {block} to "coal ore"

set event-block to {block}

 

[cottondell]

H3A the block wont always be coal ore, i could place down iron_ore then it wouldnt work with that and ive tried that alooooot

 

[H3A]

Create a list then, If it's randomized.
Else just make a function.

 

[cottondell]

no, i dont mean that H3A, I think ima have to go a different route and redo my script :/
