[MC-80196] Command blocks act through dimension

Command blocks are teleporting people in other dimensions.
If there is a command block in one world that has the command "tp @p[r=5] 128 64 0" it doesn't care what the dimension the nearest player is in. So if a player in another dimension happens to be the one closest to the xyz coordinates, that player would get teleported to the 128,64,0 coordinates in THEIR dimension.

I think command blocks should only be able to teleport players in the dimension the it's placed in, OR there should be another dimension parameter. For example:
"tp @p[r=5,w=dimension]"

I reported this bug to the Spigot team, but they said that this was a vanilla bug. You can see my other report here:

If I use r= then it works fine for me, I'll look into it a little later today, also this is partly a feature request, and this is not the place for that

I guess I understand what you are talking about, if you try to teleport a player, it also tries to teleport a player in all the other dimensions like Nether and End.

I find it odd that a command block can affect someone in another dimension but cannot MOVE someone TO another dimension. These problems make it hard to use other dimensions when using command blocks in your map making.
A command like
/tp @p[d=1] X Y Z RY RX D (both d and D stand for dimension)
Would be really nice.

And that means what exactly Kumasasa? It is latin to me!

I tried it, and I cannot confirm, placed the command you gave on a fast clock in the nether and killed myself (to go to the overworld) neighter me or my friend get's teleported

user-f2760 2015-05-09T16:35:13Z

Once in the nether go to the X Y Z cords of the Overworld command block, but in the nether

doesn't work, remain at those cords and I'm not teleporting away

Well, latin is in fact fluently readable compared to the syntax of sed

John Dame 2015-05-09T16:50:39Z

@Kumasasa
Ah but I know neither Latin nor the syntax of sed (whatever sed is, looking at your link now)

and @FVbico I am sorry I actually am not able to recreate this either :/

@Kumasasa
Ah I now see that world was changed to Dimension in the title.

John Dame 2015-05-09T17:06:15Z

Ok i finally recreated the issue. If you place the Command block and clock in the overworld spawn chunks the command block will affect you in the nether.

Partwise confirmed for

1.8.4 Using only *@p* will also select players in other dimensions, but it appears as soon as you add other arguments it will only return the nearest player in the same dimension, same for the other selectors

user-f2760 2015-05-09T17:16:19Z

if you use r=-1 it will only effect the dimention the command block is in, so kinda seems intended for me

John Dame 2015-05-09T17:21:14Z

I can confirm that r=-1 works.

@OP
Change your command block to:

"/execute @p[r=5] ~ ~ ~ /tp @p[r=-1] 128 64 0"

And it should work properly.

user-f2760 2015-05-09T17:23:51Z

you mean /execute @p[r=-1] ~ ~ ~ /tp @p[r=5] 128 64 0
or else it wouldn't change anything

John Dame 2015-05-09T17:31:21Z

Actually using "/execute @p[r=-1] ~ ~ ~ /tp @p[r=5] 128 64 0" Causes the command to affect me anywhere in the over world not within 5 of the CB.

John Dame 2015-05-09T17:42:30Z

If you use "/execute @p[r=5] ~ ~ ~ /execute @p[r=-1,c=1] ~ ~ ~ /tp @p[r=0] 128 64 0" This will execute the command within 5 blocks of the CB at the player only in the same world as the CB and then tp said player where you want.

user-f2760 2015-12-08T15:45:40Z

try the r=-1 method again, this is most likely intended, and changing this limits to what command blocks can do

mrpingouin1 2015-12-08T19:06:00Z

Command blocks are supposed to act through dimension, unless, one of the following selector argument is used :

"x", "y", "z", "dx", "dy", "dz", "rm", "r"

Based on that, I can't see any weird behavior from all the command posted. Can someone provide a command that is not working correctly? Otherwise, this can be closed.
