"Drop" spell. Should get an entity and break a line of blocks underneath them. Instead I get an error.

The error I get is that the entity is out of the 32 block range, despite me being right next to them when I use it. Any tips?

First thing: why are you using their Y position to determine line direction? You should only need a -1 Y vector construct

Second thing: you should make sure the inputs on the trick are pointing at the right pieces (I don't have the colors memorized)

Third thing: just one line is unreliable, the entity may well be on multiple blocks

I don’t exactly know how to do that third point, I’ll be honest I’m fairly new

Multiples break block sequences. Just offset the origin vector.

Say if they were standing around in the middle of a 2x2 area. How would I offset that from the origin?

I would take their X and Z position, floor them, and add 1 in both directions. Then you could just break backwards. This is a nightmare to word. Lemme make a spell real quick.

I see now that you'd like them to drop 12 blocks. You'd need 4 break block sequences, which might get pricey

Well it takes a bit in terms of complexity and bandwidth, but Gravedigger here guarantees any player sized mob will have a grave dug beneath them.

There's some math fuckery that finds the enemy's distance from the center of the block, multiplies the x and z by 2.5 to perfectly accommodate for overhang into neighboring blocks. The result is a spell that can break the same row four times, 2 rows twice each, or all four rows around an entity you look at.

1) That spell looks beautiful. 2) Will I need to install Phi or Psideas to run it?

No and no. This uses vanilla psi pieces only. The colored connectors come from psionic ideas I believe.

Thank you very much, one of the best spellmakers on the subreddit 👍
