Read a player
Read a name as a player who is online now, in any case. If nobody by that name is on, it says so instead of stopping.
m.cmd.read_player
In a flow
“When a player uses /heal → Read a player from the line → If it worked → Heal them.”
When a player uses /heal → Read a player from the line → If it worked → Heal them.
What it does
Read a name as a player who is online now, in any case. If nobody by that name is on, it says so instead of stopping. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Commands in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to: read a name as a player who is online now, in any case. If nobody by that name is on, it says so instead of stopping.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Text Text
-
What to read. Variables allowed, like {trigger.args} for everything after the command's name.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, it uses {trigger.args}.
