So I am currently making a minecraft custom map (for 1.9). I want to make the player "say" something using /tellraw commands. I did figure out how to make the player name come up using /say commands, but still have no idea how to do it using the /tellraw command.
How do I do that?
You'll need to use selectors. These are things like @a, @p, etc. (Look at the link for adding things like scoreboard). To use this in /tellraw, use the following:
"extra":[{"selector":"@p"}]
So, let's say we want a command to say "Hi! My name is ..." Try this:
/tellraw @a {"text":"Hi! My name is ","extra":[{"selector":"@p"}]}
To break it down,
/tellraw @a @a means all, so this goes to everyone in the world
{"text":"Hi! My name is ", The "text" part tells tellraw that the next part
(denoted by :) in quotes is text to be displayed.
"extra":[{"selector":"@p"}]} The "extra" tag says the next part is something
extra (figures). Then, the "selector" tag says the
next part is a selector, and "@p" means the nearest
player from where the command is being run.
Probably More than You Need to Known, Just Putting it Here Anyways
To tell everyone in the world, use @a. To tell everyone with a score of 3 in the objective Kills, use
@a[score_Kills=3,score_Kills_min=3]
In English, it means "Anybody (@a) with a maximum score of 3 and a minimum score of 3". This may sound weird, but since the only number with a maximum of 3 and a minimum of 3 is, well, 3, that command only targets players with 3 as their Kills score.
