Solved Loop air inside of a room

[ShaneBee]

Category: n/a

Suggested name: n/a (Will be part of another skript)

What I want:
I want to be able to run a command, to loop the air blocks inside of a room and return the number of blocks.
For Example, I'm standing in a 10x3x10 room, i run said command and it'll return to me "300 blocks of air"

Ideas for commands:
/room

Ideas for permissions:
n/a

When I'd like it by: Soon would be nice.

Extra Notes:
I was told by someone before to look at the functions from a competition where they filled the room with blocks. I tried testing with that first but the functions listed on the page ran errors.
COMPETITION

I do not require anything extravagant, as I can edit it later when I work it into a much larger Skript. I just need the basics right now to return to me the number of air blocks in the room.

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I needed to know is like /room [<radius>] enough, or if a wall comes the loop won't go further

Thanks,

[doublepost=1522086857,1522086085][/doublepost]I made this skript in few seconds. It may be broken because im super tired and im too lazy to test it. Im sorry D:

Hope it helps!

options:
  perm: room.test
  permmessage: &cYou don't have enough permissions.

command /room [<player>] [<number>]:
  usage: &c/room <radius> - checks how many air blocks is there around the argument player
  permission: {@perm}
  permission message: {@permmessage}
  trigger:
    if arg-1 is set:
      if arg-2 is set:
        set {blocks.around.%player%} to 0
        set {room.%player%} to arg-2
        message "&cProcessing..."
        loop all blocks in radius {room.%player%} around the player-argument:
          if loop-block is air:
            add 1 to {blocks.around.%player%}
          #Just to make sure all blocks are looped :P
          wait 2 seconds
          message "&cThere is &e%{blocks.around.%player%}% &cair blocks around &e%arg-1%"
          delete {room.%player%}
          delete {blocks.around.%player%}

Yeah like my description said, I’m looking to loop air blocks inside of a room not just loop blocks around a player

 

[Peivi]

If im right you can maybe do that with around the player. if it loops like:

Player: o

Air Block: [1] (like first block to be looped = 1)

Other block: ()

() [5] [4] [3] [2] [1] o [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] ()

Its hard to explain and im tired, as always

Hope it helps even a bit!

When you loop blocks radius around a player, it loops outside the walls off the room. For instance if you loop in a radius of 10 around the player, it will loop all blocks 10 out from you, including the air outside the room.

 

[Peivi]

I know. But do skript loop first closest blocks of the player? If answer is yes. I maybe can solve this.

function countAir(loc: location, p: player):
    loop blocks in radius 1 around {_loc}:
        set {_alreadyCounted} to false
        loop {air::%{_p}%::*}:
            if loop-value-1 is loop-value-2:
                set {_alreadyCounted} to true
        if {_alreadyCounted} is false:
            if loop-block is air:
                add loop-block to {air::%{_p}%::*}
                wait 1 tick
                countAir(loop-block's location, "%{_p}%" parsed as player)

command /room:
    trigger:
        clear {air::%player%::*}
        send "&aCalculating..."
        countAir(player's location, player)
        wait 3 seconds
        send "&6Air blocks: &e%size of {air::%player%::*}%"

the wait 3 seconds in the second last line is needed to give the function time to collect the blocks since its not instant. i tested with a room that was about 1000 air blocks and 3 seconds was enough time but if your rooms are really big then youll need to increase the wait time. also if you do the command outside a room your server will break. To prevent that you could add a check in the function for if size of {air::%player%::*} is greater than idk 50000 or something which at that point you could reasonably assume the player is outside and stop the process

there might be a better way to do this but this was the best i could come up with

Thanks a bunch donut. I ended up figuring something out and it works but it doesn’t look so pretty on skript. But i’ll definitely give this a try.
