Compass Tracking

[AgentGamerPro]

This Post has been solved!

I'm making a manhunt skript and the only thing I have to work on is the compass. I want it to follow a specific person (changes every round) but I don't know how to do that.

every 3 seconds in world "manhunt":
    set the spawn point of "manhunt" to {MH.hunted} location

Changed skript (still dosent work) so that its not embarrasing

You can probably just use the compass target expression and point the compass to a certain person's location.

that's good, but this "certain person" in going to be in a variable {MH.hunted} and will be changing a lot. How would i put something like this in a skript?

You could set the variable to the player. Then probably do {MH.hunted}'s location and point it to that. And when the variable is changed to a new person, it will point to them.

What does it mean by "Variables can not be used here" or "There's no player in a periodical event"? (sorry i'm not that good at this kind of skripting) Here is my code:

every 3 seconds in world "manhunt":
    loop all players:
        set the loop player's compass target to location of {MH.hunted%player%}

You are using %player% in an every second and loop all players. There is no player in that event. You need to do %loop-player%. Then that variable will be for that certain loop-player. 

Also is that variable supposed to be a per person variable? Can't you just set that variable to a player and point it to that player. Like make a command that sets the variable to arg-1, which is player, and point it to that variable's location.

Thanks for helping me out and sticking around for one, and two I just can't figure this out. I don't want it to be a command since I want this to be as automatic as possible. I've never really used loop players and i've still got a lot to learn about skript. Sorry if im bothering you with this (if im not, im just socially awkward).

Np. Also its better to ask for skript help in #skript on the minehut discord. (discord.gg/minehut) Or you can also dm me on Discord if you wanted instead of going back and forth here. And communicating on discord is easier if you have it. Tarna256#8675
