Regions & protection · Step
Define a region around a spot
Make a named box around a centre: so many blocks out to each side, and so many up and down.
m.region.define_around
In a flow
“When a player uses a command → Define a region around Player location, 10 out.”
When a player uses a command → Define a region around Player location, 10 out.
What it does
Make a named box around a centre: so many blocks out to each side, and so many up and down. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Regions & protection in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when the flow needs to: make a named box around a centre: so many blocks out to each side, and so many up and down.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
