Why is there a "Conditional/Unconditional" setting for command blocks?
When I was making a Zombie Horse Trap (Zombie equivalent of Skeleton Trap) using command blocks, one command block was not doing it's job. I tried clicking the "Unconditional" button to make it "conditional", and it had no effect on the system at all.
Does this button even have a point?
If it does, please explain it's purpose.

Yes, that is correct. The reason for this is so that you can make your redstone/command block builds more compact and it makes it easier to fit the command blocks together.

What does conditional do for command blocks?
"Conditional": A command block in conditional mode will only execute its command after the command block behind it has executed successfully. ("behind it" in the sense of opposite to the direction the command block is facing, regardless of chain direction or even if chaining is occurring).How do you set a condition on a command block?
These execute only after the command block pointing to it is processed. This differs from the Conditional option in that it detects what is pointing to it, instead of simply behind it. The command blocks pointing to it also need not be chain blocks themselves to trigger the chain."What is the difference between conditional and unconditional command blocks?
Due to the power of the command blocks, there are a few conditions that need to be met in order to use them in your server. First, you will need to enable command blocks directly in the server settings. Secondly, you will need to be OP on the server and in creative mode to be able to place the block.How do Conditional Command Blocks work in Minecraft 1.15? [Tutorial]
