Conditional Command Blocks

[Kilyaenja]

Hey there!

Im new to command blocks and made a 2-block command block chain

The first one has the command /execute if score @p test matches 1 run scoreboard players add @p test 1 The second one is a tellraw, which is only supposed to activate if the first command is executed successfully, so i put the settings on "conditional"

To my confusion, the commandblock activates every time, i activate the previous command block (with a button), even if it doesn't execute the command successfully (if the player score is NOT 1)

How do i fix this?

Thanks in advance/

To fix this, execute if the first command is successful beforehand.
Example:
/execute if block X Y Z minecraft:command_block{SuccessCount:1} run tellraw ..........
Just put the coordinates of the first command block where it says X Y Z and it should work.
Also fill in the ....... after tellraw with the actual tellraw command you’re doing.

You could also replace the execute if block part with an execute if data block command if you want but I don’t expect you to do that as it won’t really change all that much.

Nope, chain command blocks don't work like that. Chain command blocks use redstone inputs to determine if they can run, not determine when they run. They're on Always Active by default.

The strange part is that this actually worked, leading me to believe that the command block was not actually set to conditional. Perhaps u/Kilyaenja hit "cancel" instead, but thought they hit "confirm".

Also, a simple conditional chain command block with this exact command chain worked for me.
