How can I test for a player at a given x and z but at any height?
I am trying to test for if a player is at a certain x and z, but not a certain height, and I can't find anything that says how to do it. Here's what I have:
/testfor @a[x=-50,z=79,r=1]
The problem is, it's only true if the player is standing on the command block, and I need it to be true if the player is anywhere directly above the command block, like five blocks above. What am I doing wrong?

Unspecified origin parameters will default to the sender's location, being the command block. You can change the origin to be that of the player so that the x, y, and z parameters default to their position instead of the command block.
/execute @a 50 ~ 79 /testfor @a[c=1,r=1]

Enter /position in Minecraft to see your current world position in the top left corner of Minecraft. You can also use the player world position block in your code. This way, no matter where you are in the game world, your code can use your position to do things near you.Detect When A Player Is At A Block/Blocks Minecraft
