How to hide An unbreakable tag in an unbreakble item

Posted: 06 Nov 2021 04:49 AM PDT

I know how to make an unbreakable item but is there a way to make it so that nobody can know that its unbreakable?

Summoning a ring/sphere of arrows around an arrow which had just struck the ground

Posted: 06 Nov 2021 12:18 AM PDT

I've been messing around with bows and arrows and summoning stuff when the arrow hits the ground, like lightning, but I've got an idea I do not really know where to start at.

So here's the plan, I would shoot an arrow, and when it hits the ground, it would summon a sphere/ring of arrows, surrounding the original, and then also strike the original point where the original arrow is hit.

There are 2 things I don't know about this.
First, is there a way to 'set' the direction of an arrow? I know you can do it with a fireball (using /summon fireball ~ ~1 ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}), but it will not work on an arrow, so that's one problem.

Second (not much of a problem, but it would be nice to simplify it), how would you summon arrows around the original arrow? When I was watching how to make a circle in vanilla Minecraft (by Mysticat), it summons an armor stand which turns around, summoning stuff as it does, but summoning a whole ring will take approximately 1 second, which is too much.
There is kind of a way to get through this, but it requires a bit of manual work, by calculating exactly where to summon the arrow (like, ~ ~-5.67 ~ or something). I think it might work, but if there is a way to simplify this further, let me know.

Finally, there's the arrangement of the command blocks. This is my idea:

[REPEAT] Detect arrow, shot from a specific bow, give it a tag (let's say, clonearrow).

Another chain:

[REPEAT] Detect an arrow which has that tag (clonearrow), and is in the ground  [CHAIN] Summon arrow with position ~(something) ~(something) ~(something)  [CHAIN] Summon arrow with position ~(something) ~(something) ~(something)  [CHAIN] Summon arrow with position ~(something) ~(something) ~(something)  ...  [CHAIN] Summon arrow with position ~(something) ~(something) ~(something)  [CHAIN] Kill arrow

Is this the optimal arrangement? It might be a bit weird, but it's something I got from my previous questions, by mindoverflow.

If there is something I'm missing, just let me know, I'll update this. Thanks!

How to make bats giving poison effect to nearby players?

Posted: 06 Nov 2021 04:36 AM PDT

Bats don't do anything, and I'm thinking of making a datapack, so that when a bat gets close to a player, it will "bite" them, giving them a poison effect.

How would I do this?

"Syntax error: Unexpected "score: at "execute if >>score<< Seconds Timer matches 60.."

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 09:47 PM PDT

I am trying to make a digital clock using the scoreboard commands and command blocks, when I try doing this and have followed steps correctly it says "Syntax error: Unexpected "score: at "execute if >>score<< Seconds Timer matches 60.." in the previous output area and I can't find a solution anywhere. When I originally tried it on a tester world, it worked so I went over to do it on the world it was necessary for and it didn't work, when I rejoined my tester world and re-did the commands exactly as I did before, it didn't work and said the same Syntax Error. I have tried using "scoreboard players test Seconds Timer 60" as a substitute but this too has not worked for me.

Cube 2 Sauerbraten: Are there some easy hacks?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 09:33 PM PDT

I have been playing Cube 2 sauerbraten on my raspberry pi online. I have seen other players run through walls and I would like to know some hacks too. I have looked around for some hacks but they are all for windows and I am running ubuntu. Are there some hack tricks for ubuntu? (I asked this on Ask Ubuntu and they said I was asking in the wrong place.) How you kick other players and change their name; they do it to me all the time.

What do crowns above steps mean?

I have recently had this error. Could someone please explain the cause and effect of this error?

Why does my realm prevent me from chatting in Minecraft?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 03:37 PM PDT

Every time I do it, it takes like 40 mins before chat starts working again and every time I log it stops working again.

How to properly detect use on a named/tagged Carrot on a stick?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 04:58 PM PDT

I've been trying to detect the use of a custom Carrot on a stick using scoreboards.

The way I'm doing this is by spawning one with a custom model, name and tag:

give @p carrot_on_a_stick{display:{Name:'"Rubick"'},CustomModelData:963,Rubick:1b}

Then I add a new scoreboard objective:

scoreboard objectives add rubiclick minecraft.used:minecraft.carrot_on_a_stick

Where I then use to detect if the player used the item but I use the detection to also make sure it has either the custom name, OR tag:

execute as @a[scores={rubiclick=1..},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick"},tag:{display:{Name:'"Rubick"'}}}] at @s run effect give @a weakness 1 1 false

or

execute as @a[scores={rubiclick=1..},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick"},tag:"Rubick:1b"}] at @s run effect give @a weakness 1 1 false

but neither method seems to work, yet I can detect a regular Carrot on a stick use with:

execute as @a[scores={rubiclick=1..},nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:carrot_on_a_stick"}}] at @s run effect give @a weakness 1 1 false

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

How do you detect whether a player has two of a specific item in their inventory, and then delete one?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 11:00 AM PDT

I'm trying to recreate the old Missile Wars Mini-game in Minecraft Bedrock edition, and I've come across a problem that's stumped me; detecting if a player has 2 of the same stackable item, and then clearing the 2nd item so that the player only has 1. I'm not the most knowledgeable person on Minecraft commands, so that's why I've come here to ask.

I cannot change my Minecraft name as it say something went wrong and to try again later

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 10:32 AM PDT

Every time I try to change my username I am told something has gone wrong and I have to try again later. I wait half an hour and it does not work. Then an hour, a day and so on. This problem keeps occurring and I have no idea how to stop this problem. The exact words I have received are:

'Oops! Something went wrong and we could not change your profile name. Are you sure you entered the correct password? If the problem persists, try again later.'

How do I teleport someone who enters a specific tunnel on Minecraft 1.17.1?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 06:02 PM PDT

I am making a map on Minecraft 1.17.1 and I'm tying to make a challenge where you need to go through the correct tunnel, if you go through the wrong one you'll get teleported to the start.

I don't know how to do it, so I "tried" using the execute command but I don't know how to really use it.

PS4 Controller only works when plugged in

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 03:16 PM PDT

When I plug my PS4 controllers in, they turn on and work perfectly but the moment I unplug the cords from the controllers, they completely shut down and when I press the PS button I get no light or anything, it's just dead. I tried resetting the controllers but the same thing still happens. Is it somehow the battery?

Is it possible to use Game Pass for PC in a game-sharing setup?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 10:04 PM PDT

I have an Xbox Live subscription and am able to log into both the Xbox and Game Pass for PC. I need to ensure that I'm logged into the Microsoft Store with the same credentials as my Xbox account in order for it to work. My son has an Xbox and we use game sharing, which lets him access Game Pass games on the Xbox.

So far, so good. However; we've just bought him a new PC, and he's unable to use Game Pass on his PC. It just keeps prompting him to sign up to Game Pass, which is not ideal.

Is this a known limitation, or is there something I'm missing?

I'm using the Xbox Beta app. I can't find this for download, so my son is just using the Xbox app from Microsoft Store on his PC. Could this be a factor?

Can someone recognize this game from a sceenshot?

How to make a "execute if score is equal to or greater than x" command?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:46 PM PDT

I'm trying to make a game in Minecraft 1.16.5, and it has a shop. But since I am forced to use the /execute command I don't know how to make it so when you have 25 or more points, it subtracts 25 and unlocks it. Everything I found was from years ago, so they are out of date.

Can I access the shrine near Kakariko village after completing the rest of the game?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 10:06 AM PDT

I've done every possible quest in Kakariko. I am also unable to obtain the shrine ball through the event. Is it possible that I broke it due to me completing the game and ignoring that event? I didn't know it existed until now.

I already know about the quests needed, I simply missed the event.

I completed all Kakariko Side/Shrine Quests. I am at post-Endgame and accidentally ignored this event in my run. I've done the event on a different profile and it worked.

How to fix my custom loot filter

Posted: 06 Nov 2021 01:05 AM PDT

I've made a very permissive loot filter for lvling on Filterblade.
However it hid too much, especially small rare items like 1h-swords.
So I added yet another class-based rule:
Show all items of rarity Rare or higher.
Small yellow items are now showing as expected.
However, random white items are also showing!
This only happens in-game, using FilterBlade's simulation, they are hidden.

I don't understand how this is possible since the rule specifies a Rarity of Rare or greater.

Another issue I have is easy testing of a rule for a specific item.
Often I want to change a rule based on a specific item being shown/hidden in game.
However when I run the simuation it can take a long time for an item with those parameters to drop.
So I end up having to load the filter in game.

I've watched NeverSink's expert guide on FilterBlade.
But it seems I'm still missing details on how to use it.

I realize Path of Exile throws an error when trying to load the filter.
So it probably just rejects the use of a filter at all, showing everything.
The error is:
Unable to parse parameter for Class rule: No item classes matching "Flask".
I've tried to fix this by manually editing the file and found the following setting at the end of the file: 

Show # minimize junk instead of hiding (if "show")  Class "Amulets" "Belts" "Body Armour" "Boots" "Bows" "Claws" "Daggers" "Flask" "Gloves" "Helmets" "Jewel" "One Hand" "Quivers" "Rings" "Rune Dagger" "Sceptre" "Shields" "Staves" "Two Hand" "Wand" "Warstaff"  SetFontSize 18

So I tried changing "Flask" to "Flasks" and removing the item completely.
This has not helped, so there must be another instance.
I've also tried ploughing through the settings at FilterBlade, no luck.

Edit: I re-created a new high level filter from a FilterBlade basis, same problem. So I didn't accidentally enter an invalid value.

Edit2: For some reason an older filter of mine does still work. I've tried to compare it to my newest filter but cannot find anything that might cause this problem.

Can I rearrange or remove apps from the shortcut at the top of the TV and Video app?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 07:02 PM PDT

The TV and Video app on my PS4 has a short bar at the top of some "favorite" streaming video services. All the hits are there like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and HBO Now...

Except, for example, I'm an HBO Go subscriber, not HBO Now. I have the correct app installed, but there seems to be no way for me to remove the icon for the one I don't want. Not only that, but I also can't rearrange the TV and video apps that are installed to move the ones I use, like HBO Go, to the front of the line.

Is there some way to rearrange this menu or to remove items from it?

Why did my account get reset after I changed my username on Geometry Dash?

My account got reset and I have to start from scratch to get back to where I was... I lost my stuff such as Diamonds, Mana Orbs, Stars; Heck even Coins! I loved when I had defeated 2 demons and was going good till I wanted to change my username to something more appropriate to my designs and aspects... Sadly I no longer have ANYTHING that was once mine. Can someone please help me with that?

Missing one rooftop race

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 04:08 PM PDT

I've been around the map and I'm missing one rooftop race but I have no idea where it is. I have the one at the top of the Science Center. Are there any other commonly overlooked rooftop races that do not easily display on the overview map?

How to always keep steam turbines running at maximum performance using nuclear power?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:23 PM PDT

In version 0.15.0, Steam Turbines were added to the game. They are significantly more powerful than steam engines (1 steam turbine is equal to ~10.5 steam engines), but I'm finding it difficult to keep them running at 100% power.

To even reach the maximum available performance for steam turbines, you need to use nuclear power and heat exchangers. The heat exchangers use heat produced by the nuclear reactor to make steam at very high temperatures. From my observations, the exchangers need to be running at at least 500 °C to produce steam (the maximum is 1000 °C). Anything lower than 500 °C, and the turbines will not run. I've also noticed two things with nuclear power:

  • The farther the heat exchanger is from the reactor, the cooler the temperatures will be.
  • Tampering with the heat pipes will case the temperatures to change temporarily as the heat attempts to catch up.

I'm able to get my turbines running at maximum efficiency when there is enough power on my grid already, but I am expanding my factory, and my expansion is starting to consume too much power. When this happens, the turbines fail to continue to run at maximum. They appear to consume their steam faster for some reason, and end up only being able to perform at about 60% their potential.

My setup includes two nuclear reactors that are connected with heat pipes and are always running to produce enough heat. Right now, the exchangers are in the 600+ °C range so I should have enough heat to be making steam.

Setup

How can I always keep them running at maximum power? Better yet, steam turbines can be linked together like steam engines, but doing this almost always ruins the performance of the turbines. How can I do this as well?

Why are there no car packs in my garage?

Posted: 06 Nov 2021 12:00 AM PDT

I purchased the Forza Horizon 2 Ultimate - Anniversary Edition download for Xbox one. I do not see any car packs in my garage.

How do I access my purchased cars?

Are any of the skills actually useless?

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 01:30 PM PDT

I know that many of the skills available in game are down to playstyle but I've heard that training certain abilities, for example Swimming don't really provide much of a bonus and can prevent you from being powerful enough by the end of the game to perform some of the actions required (like hacking doors or lock picking) and can make the game more difficult near the end of the game.

enter image description here

Are there any of the other skills that I should avoid due to them being generally useless?

Are there any skills (other than my primary weapon skill, obviously) that I should definitely take?

Government came and took my baby!

Posted: 05 Nov 2021 09:14 AM PDT

Okay, so I may have left the sim Child unattended for a few hours without calling a babysitter. All was fine and they even did their homework but then Social Services turned up and stole the child! At least I'm hoping it was Social Services, it was quite a non-descript brown van.

Is there any way to get back a child taken into custody by Social Services in The Sims 2?

I tried phoning the adoption service but they declined as I'd already had a child taken away.
