Increase amount of bats being spawned

[LoneElf]

Thanks @Pikachu.
So, I tried what you suggested but I still get this error:

07.10 02:12:17 [Server] ERROR Variables cannot be used here. (scripts.sk, line 13: spawn a bat at location({_randomLocX},{_randomLocY},{_randomLocZ},world)')

Code:

command /pos1:
  trigger:
    set {pos1} to location of player
 
command /pos2:
  trigger:
    set {pos2} to location of player

every 2 seconds in "world":
  set {_randomLocX} to a random number between {pos1}'s x-coord and {pos2}'s x-coord
  set {_randomLocY} to a random number between {pos1}'s y-coord and {pos2}'s y-coord
  set {_randomLocZ} to a random number between {pos1}'s z-coord and {pos2}'s z-coord
  spawn a bat at location({_randomLocX},{_randomLocY},{_randomLocZ},world)
  location({_randomlocx}, {_randomlocy}, {_randomlocz}, world("world"))

That isn't what i suggested? You didn't replace your thing

The weird thing is that I did change it, and I noticed that too. I'll try to save the skript file and reload the file again as it might have been a little issue with my connection, but I am not sure.

Thank you, @Pikachu,

EDIT: Ok, so I checked it now, and my code is what you suggested (I did try the other suggestion, but it left me with the same error):

command /pos1:
  trigger:
    set {pos1} to location of player
 
command /pos2:
  trigger:
    set {pos2} to location of player

every 2 seconds in "world":
  set {_randomLocX} to a random number between {pos1}'s x-coord and {pos2}'s x-coord
  set {_randomLocY} to a random number between {pos1}'s y-coord and {pos2}'s y-coord
  set {_randomLocZ} to a random number between {pos1}'s z-coord and {pos2}'s z-coord
  spawn a bat at location({_randomLocX},{_randomLocY},{_randomLocZ},world)
  location({_randomlocx}, {_randomlocy}, {_randomlocz}, world("world"))

You don't put it on a seperate line, you put it in place of your current one.

Oh my! I apologize- I did not see that at all. My bad. I will try that soon. Thanks!

Thanks guys!

[doublepost=1507392198][/doublepost]Alright. So, I just tested it and realized that the bats don't spawn. I feel like it has to be something with the locations as there is no error with the bat spawning line.

command /pos1:
  trigger:
    set {pos1} to location of player
    message "&7Position&8> &7Position 1 has been set."
 
command /pos2:
  trigger:
    set {pos2} to location of player
    message "&7Position&8> &7Position 2 has been set."

every 2 seconds in "world":
  set {_randomLocX} to a random number between {pos1}'s x-coord and {pos2}'s x-coord
  set {_randomLocY} to a random number between {pos1}'s y-coord and {pos2}'s y-coord
  set {_randomLocZ} to a random number between {pos1}'s z-coord and {pos2}'s z-coord
  spawn a bat at location({_randomlocx}, {_randomlocy}, {_randomlocz}, world("world"))

Also, I have this:

  event-entity.setCustomNameVisible(true);
  event-entity.setCustomName(event-entity.getItemStack().getItemMeta().getDisplayName() ? "%event-entity.getItemStack()%")

How would I get around setting the event-entity to the spawned bat? I need it to display something like, "&4Halloween Bat." I know how to set the name of the entity, but I don't know how to get the bat so that I can edit it's meta.

Sorry if I don't make sense in the bat displaying a hologram!

Thanks for the help!
