Solved I want to make an item that scans enemy HP

[Idiosyncratic]

I'm having trouble making an item that scans enemy HP. This is my current code:

on right click on entity:
player is holding a book named "&2Scan"
player has 3 redstone
send "&dEnemy has &c%{clicked entity health}%/%{clicked entity max health}% &dhealth." to player

What am I doing wrong?
The message shows up as "Enemy has <none>/<none> health."

remove the { } from %clicked entity health% and %clicked entity max health%
expressions don't use those brackets only variables do

also the expressions might be %clicked entity's health% and %clicked entity's max health%
I haven't tested them but that seems about right

Thank you for that, but how do I make it show it in HP rather than hearts?

What do you mean? Could you reword it?

 

[Deleted member 5254]

Oh yes sorry, I want to make it show not in hearts, but in the actual HP variable.

Oh yes sorry, I want to make it show not in hearts, but in the actual HP variable.

Wait so the message you get shows the health in hearts?
If you can drop us a screenshot that'd be nice

Ah I see what you mean, changing the expressions to this should be a simple fix %clicked entity's health * 2% and %clicked entity's max health * 2%
Skript gives you half of the true value I suppose so multiplying it by two fixes that issue

Thank you all very much! It worked out perfectly.
