I'm trying to make an RPG adventure where the player can interact with different stuff. For example, if he walks up to a crafting table, then this text should come up in chat:

[Robert:] I wish there was a Crafting Guide in Minecraft or something, it's always so hard to remember what some of the crafting recipes are!

The crafting table works fine, I have a hopper clock connected to a redstone which has a repeater going into a command blocks saying:

/testfor @a[6,80,3,1]

Connected to a comparator connected to a command block saying

/tellraw @p ["",{"text":"[Robert:] ","color":"dark_blue"},{"text":"I wish they had a crafting guide in Minecraft or something, it's always so hard to remember what some of the crafting recipies are!","color":"white"}]

This works fine. When I walk up to the crafting table, it works. But when I walk up to the ladder, well that's a different story.

In my "Ladder Interaction" section of the redstone, I have the same hopper clock, with the same item, connecting to the comparator in the same way, with the redstone to the repeater, connected to this command block:

/testfor @a[-20,84,7,3]

Connected to a comparator which is then connected to:

/tellraw @p ["",{"text":"[Robert:] ","color":"dark_blue"},{"text":"Uh-Oh! The lava must've burned some of the ladders, so I need another ladder in order to get up. Come on! Better find one quickly!","color":"white"}]

I don't understand why this one won't work but the other does. I changed my redstone clock to a hopper clock, like I said, because people said that it keeps the chunks loaded and stuff, but it still doesn't work.

Here's a picture of my design: My basic interaction design

Can you help me?

    Verify that the repeater is turning on and off, and that the command block is not being powered from elsewhere. Also make sure that you are actually within a radius of 3 from -20, 84, 7. The commands you have given work fine, so your problem is likely being caused by another factor.

  • I have done all that and it still doesn't work! Commented Jun 20, 2015 at 1:06
  • Does the command block output any errors?

  • No it just acts like it was never activated Commented Jan 23, 2016 at 19:05

There is this one character (I don't know what it is yet, either), that sometimes, somehow, makes its way into commands. Try going to the beginning of your /testfor command, and holding -> until you reach the end. There may be a spot where your cursor stops moving, and there should be a zero-width invisible character there. It shows up in regular editing software, I always check if my commands aren't working.

  • I'm pretty sure it's the NULL character.
