How can I teleport a player to a location relative to another player?
I want to teleport a player to a location relative to another. For example, I might want to teleport Steve so that he's exactly 50 blocks on top of Joe.
I can't use /tp, since that will teleport Steve directly onto Joe's location. Is there a way I can teleport someone to somebody else's location, but with an offset? I'd like to do this with a single command, if possible.
Best Answer
The /tp command accepts relative arguments (~), but you won't be able to do it in a single command. You may wish to use a pair of command blocks to execute them quickly and more or less seamlessly.
The following will teleport Steve to Joe, then zero blocks forward (in the x direction), fifty blocks up (in the y direction), and zero blocks to the side (in the z direction).
/tp Steve Joe
/tp Steve ~ ~50 ~
The format is as follows:
/tp [player] <x> <y> <z> [<y-rot> <x-rot>]

Answer 2
execute Joe ~ ~ ~ teleport Steve ~ ~50 ~
for teleport command, the relative coordinate is of the executor, but not the teleported entity.
Answer 3
/execute Joe ~ ~50 ~ /tp Steve @p
execute will make Joe execute it but the ~ ~50 ~ would make it execute 50 blocks above Joe's feet because relatives (~) on entities alway count from the bottom block (that is the case with blocks sometimes too, ie. doors and two-block plants). Steve is the parameter which tells the game who to teleport.
Answer 4
/execute Joe ~ ~50 ~ /tp Steve @p
Answer 5
You can do the following:
/execute Joe ~ ~ ~ /tp Steve ~ ~50 ~
I hope this helped.
