    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!

    Code (Text):
    1. on place:
    2.     if name of player's tool is "&6&lRegenerating Block":
    3.         set {rb.player.%location of block%} to player
    4.         set {rb.pos.%location of block%} to true
    5.         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
    6.         create a new hologram with line "&6&lGenerator" and store in {holograms.gb.%player%.%location of block%}
    7.        
    8.  
    9. on break:
    10.     if {rb.pos.%location of block%} is true:
    11.         if {rb.player.%location of block%} is player:
    12.             wait 0.1 seconds
    13.             set event-block to {rb.block.%location of block%}
    14.         else:
    15.             message "{@MsgPrefix} &4You can not use other peoples Generator blocks!"

    nope:
    Code (Text):
    1. set {rb.block.%location of block%} to "coal ore" - would be set to the block placed down

    Code (Skript):
    1. set {rb.block.%location of block%} to "coal ore"
    You cannot do this (?)

    Try:
    Code (Skript):
    1. set {rb.block.%location of block%} to coal ore
    2.  
    3. # the method i would use:
    4.  
    5. set {rb.block.BLOCK} to coal ore

    Have you tried the first example I gave? If so, what results? Anyways I do not think you can set a location to a block type...

    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)
