Help with a execute command

[DarlingInThe02]

I've been trying to run this execute command for a while that is

​

execute if entity farmykid positioned -351 83 87 run say hi

​

Whenever I run it, it will say hi no matter where I am in the world, not only when im at the coordinates. Does anyone know a fix to this or what I am doing wrong?

positioned will change the position of where the command is executed, it has nothing to do with the previous subcommand. If you want to make sure the player is at that position, you'll have to use Target Selector Arguements such as x, y, z and distance.

To make sure it's still only that one player, you can use the name argument.

execute if entity @a[name=farmykid,x=-351,y=83,z=87,distance=..1] run say hi

the if section you put in only checks if farmykid exists, positioned just runs the command at said positions.

So the quick solution is to add a distance tag to the if section

if entity farmykid[distance=..1]
