I'm making a PVP-style server for a group of my friends and I, and I wanted to make it so when a player was holding a "Dark Gnome's Shadow Wand" (a stick) in their hotbar or offhand, that it would trigger a command block to give them the blindness potion effect. I got the command to work before with scoreboards, but it would target everyone, which made it difficult to balance around...is there a way to target only one player with custom named items such as this?
Best Answer
scoreboard players set @a potion 0
scoreboard players set @a potion 1 {SelectedItem:{id:"XXX",tag:{XXX}}}
effect @a[score_potion_min=1] ....
That should do it. Just put 3 command blocks on clock after each other.

Answer 2
**UPDATE**
You wanted it to target 1 person.
Simply make teams for each player, then copy the command block thingamiga by using the @a[team=XXX] where XXX is the team. Then, add everyone to their own team. This means it will only target 1 person / team at a time
To make teams:
/scoreboard teams add XXX
To select the team:
/tp @a[team=XXX] OR /tp @p[team=XXX] (doesn't have to be tp)
