Help Programing Command Block to Issue Random Pokemon

can a command block spawn modded entities?
if so you can use

commandBlock = peripheral.wrap("right") --Assuming the command block is to the right
while true do
i = math.random(1,16)
if i == 1 then
commandBlock.setCommand("Whatever the command is") -- this is where you put the command
commandBlock.runCommand()
elseif -- keep adding on

end
end

A better approach would be to use tables

local tPokemon = {
  squirtle,
  charmander,
  bulbasuar
}
while true do
  local spawn = tPokemon[math.random(1,#tPokemon)] --picks a random entry in the table
  --commandblock spawning code here
end

Just remember to fill the table with whatever the commandblock uses to spawn said pokemon, making it easier to fill that into it's command parameters. And ofcourse in your case you would have multiple tables, one for each type, which you pull from depending on user input.

Thanks for the help guys, both are what I was looking for will give them a blast.

@CometWolf can I ask what I would be putting in the command block if normally the command would be "/pokespawn bulbasuar", would it be "/pokespawn spawn"

Sorry I am still a bit new at this. :D/>

I don't know much about this mod, but you would use:

commandBlock.setCommand("/pokespawn " .. spawn)
commandBlock.runCommand()

Where spawn is the name of the pokemon to spawn. In case you don't know the .. string operator appends the value of a variable or table to the string before it. Using just /pokespawn spawn would try to spawn a pokemon named spawn

Thanks Enderbane

Well guys you have shown me the way forward, thanks all for the help

:)/>

ok guys when I try Cometwolf's code I get the error : test 7: bad argument #2 interval is empty

Can I get some help on this?

Thanks

local tPokemon = {
squirtle,
charmander,
bulbasuar
}
while true do
local spawn = tPokemon[math.random(1,#tPokemon)] –picks a random entry in the table
–commandblock spawning code here
end

lol, i forgot to add quotes around the strings.

local tPokemon = {
  "squirtle",
  "charmander",
  "bulbasuar"
}

That's it, thanks :lol:/>
