/deathcause a very useful command to verify the cause of death and more!

Introduction :

 

    Have you ever tried to make a PvP game on your own world ? Or whatever that could be, when you were building that game you maybe encountered a problem. The problem is that, when a player is killed by an another player, you want to add a point to the scoreboard or this particuliar player. Yes, there are many solutions found to this problem but a command that allow us to do this directly is pretty convenient. So /deathcause is to verify if a player was killed by an another player and would work like an execute command, here is the prototype :

 

/deathcause <player: target> run [command] <deadplayer/killer>... Etc

/deathcause <player: target> run as <deadplayer/killer> [command] <player: target>...Etc

/deathcause <player: target> run at <deadplayer/killer> <position: xyz> [command] <player: target>...Etc

 

    I will explain some parts of this command, <player: target> allow you to target a specific player, an entity, or just any player, if the target die, it verify if his/their death(s) was/were caused by an player. The <deadplayer/killer> is used to specify which player your want your action to be done. You can still use the basic targeting like "@s". An example, if you want to remove points to the player that was killed :

 

/deathcause @a run scoreboard players remove deadplayer test 1

 

Or summon a explosion when a player die :

/deathcause @a[tag=explosion] run at deadplayer ~~~ summon ender_crystal ~~~ minecraft:crystal_explode

 

You could use all commands with /deathcause!

  And i think that this command could not work properly if it's done like that :

  A guy want to use the command.

  He places a command block, repetition mode, always activated.
  - Are you dead ? - No. - Are you dead ? - No. - Are you dead ? - No.

  Instead of this, i think it would be better if it worked like that, You run the command. It add something to the player's data. When the player die :

  - I'm dead, do have instructions ? - Yes, summon 500 withers.

  So you also need a command to clear the data, i recommand you this :

  /deathcause <player: target> clear

  And why not a command that allows to see what instructions will be done in case of death:

  - /deathcause @s showdata. - data : summon 500 withers ~~~; scoreboard players deadplayer remove test 1; give killer emerald.
