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!

on break:
    set event-block at event-location to {block}

This?

Set block at location of block doesn't make sense...

 

[cottondell]

That came up with this error:

 

[malia]

Try:

set event-block to redstone block

 

[cottondell]

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?

 

[malia]

Show me the definition of {block}

2. Question:

 

[cottondell]

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

 

[malia]

Yeah but show the code for it

 

[cottondell]

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

set event-block to {rb.block.%location of block%}

You're setting a BLOCK to a location...

 

[cottondell]

nope:

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

 

[malia]

set {rb.block.%location of block%} to "coal ore"

You cannot do this (?)

Try:

set {rb.block.%location of block%} to coal ore

# the method i would use:

set {rb.block.BLOCK} to coal ore

 

[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"?

 

[malia]

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...

 

[cottondell]

If you mean "set event-block at event-location to {block}" then this happens:
View attachment 3687

 

[malia]

set {rb.block.%location of block%} to coal ore

This...

 

[cottondell]

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

 

[malia]

message "%{rb.block.%location of block%}%"

# replace with

message "%{rb.block.%event-block%}%"

 

[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

Sorry I'm lost there, what do you wanna do?
