Points for Custom mob kills?

Question

I'm using scoreboard and what I have been trying to do is to give players a specific amount of points from killing a specific custom mob. The mob is customised with different health and a different name.

How can I record killings of this specific mob, and update the scoreboard with the appropriate number of points?

Answer 1

If you would make the custom mob you want to get points from killing, drop a specific item then you could execute off the item. Here is a example... Summon in the custom mob use a command like this:

/summon Zombie ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:"Custom Zombie",CustomNameVisible:1,Equipment:[{},{},{id:redstone,Count:1,tag:{display:{Name:Point,Lore:[Point]}}},{},{}],DropChances:[0.085F,0.085F,2.0F,0.085F,0.085F]}

You also need a objective called point. /scoreboard objectives add point dummy Then you need a clock running the following commands in this order:

1. scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] {Item:{id:redstone,tag:{display:{Name:"Point",Lore:[Point]}}}} point 1

2. execute @e[type=Item,score_point_min=1,score_point=1] ~ ~ ~ scoreboard players add @p point 1

3. kill @e[type=Item,score_point_min=1,score_point=1]

I would use this to summon in the custom mob you want. Hope this helps! If anything was wrong or anything was spelled wrong please tell me!

Answer 2

This may be a bit clunky but you could have the mob drop an item which could be taken away from the player immediately and then go towards a point system. Im sure you could also do it with a scoreboard system but I'm useless at that stuff

Answer 3

Scoreboards can track the kills of specific types of entities.

/scoreboard objectives add < name > stat.killEntity.* < display name >

This increases when you kill a mob of type *. The list of entity types that can go in * are:

Bat, Blaze, CaveSpider, Chicken, Cow, Creeper, Enderman, Endermite, EntityHorse, Ghast, Guardian, LavaSlime, MushroomCow, Ozelot, Pig, PigZombie, Rabbit, Sheep, Silverfish, Skeleton, Slime, Spider, Squid, Villager, Witch, Wolf, and Zombie.

However, this method doesn't work if there are two enemies of the same type (2 zombies, 2 endermen). Note that spider is different than cave spider, zombie is different than zombie pigmen, and that skeleton is the same as wither skeleton.

To do the "point-giving" part:

Make an objective called points (or whatever you want)

/scoreboard objectives add points dummy

Then, set it so that players can see it:

/scoreboard objectives setdisplay * points

Possible values of *:

list: Displays next to the player name when holding [tab]. (doesn't work in singleplayer)

sidebar: Displays on the side of the screen.

belowName: Displays under the player name (floating above head, doesn't work in singleplayer)

These all work when opened to LAN and more than one player is on.
