How to target entities relative to the executor in scoreboard operations?
I'm trying to make an entity execute a scoreboard operation in minecraft 1.9, the entity should set the score of another entity to it selfs score.
Setting up testing environment:
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"setter"}
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"getter"}
/scoreboard objectives add test dummy
/scoreboard players set @e[name=setter] test 111
As you can see, @e[c=1] executed by setter should select himself (this is true for every entity):
/execute @e[name=setter] ~ ~ ~ say my name is @e[c=1]
[setter] my name is setter
But when using the selector in an scoreboard operation this doesn't work:
/execute @e[name=setter] ~ ~ ~ scoreboard players operation @e[name=getter] test = @e[c=1] test
No test score for MY-MINECRAFT-NAME found
Failed to execute ...
In the scoreboard operation e[c=1] seems to target me (MY-MINECRAFT-NAME).
Is there any way to achive what I'm trying to do? And why doesn't this work for scoreboard operations?
