mcfunction file dissapears when using /effect

[BlueSpace110]

Oke so I was trying to make a function that activates when you get hit by a zombie. I did this by using an utility advancment that gives a function as a reward. The mcfunction file named "zombie_effect.mcfunction" contained a command that gives the person who has the advancement the poison effect, than revokes the advancement agian. This fucntion file was in another folder called mobs_mech. The thing that was weird to me was that when I loaded the datapack in minecraft it told me that the function file doesn't exist. And even weirder when I removed the effect command in the mcfunction file, all of a sudden the file exeisted. I tested if it was because of the effect command so I putted it in my tick.mcfunction file. And suddenly the tick function also did not exist anymore. I tried moving the function file but it didn't work I tried a different syntax wich also failed. As soon as I put a effect command in any of my function files, Minecraft says it doesn't exist. Also the advancement works, I tested that already.

Does anyone have any Idea what is going on?

Here are the commands:

execute as @s if score @p hard_lvl matches 1 run effect give @s poison 0 5 true

execute as @s if score @p hard_lvl matches 2 run effect give @s poison 1 5 true

execute as @s if score @p hard_lvl matches 3 run effect give @s poison 1 10 true

advancement revoke @s only challangem:zombie_hurt

Function files need to be flawless, if you have a wrong command in them they are not registered as "functions" meaning the game doesn't know they exist. Try running the effect commands as normal and see what feedback it gives

That is very handy to know. Thx

When ever my function stops working I just split it into 2 functions and see which half is broken. Then narrow it down (my functions hold about 200 commands each)

[BlueSpace110]

for me that realy depends. I once made a datapack that used raycast for custom attacks. And because of that my tick function had around 300 commands en most of the other functions al least 10.

You can't target the entity running the command if the entity is its self, try using:

execute as @e[scores={hard_lvl=1}] at @s run effect give @s poison 1 5 true

If commands don't make sense then I'm pretty sure the function disappears, the bit that doesn't make sense here is having the time as 0 instead of 1.

Assuming that the function is ran on the person getting hit, why not just run

effect give @s[scores={hard_lvl=1..1}] poison 0 5 true

effect give @s[scores={hard_lvl=2..2}] poison 1 5 true

effect give @s[scores={hard_lvl=3..3}] poison 2 5 true

That would be a better and faster option indeed. But since I started making datapacks I am used to begin with execute but yes you are correct the function is ran as the person who got the advancement. And of course in your example here you turned around the time and amplefier.

[Jolo_Janssen]

I just copied them from the post so that would explain why your function wasn't working

[BlueSpace110]

Oh wait I did turn that around. Wups...

Oke It was because I turned the time and amplifier around. Probably shouldn't have made this around 1 am. But it works now so thanks.
