 Description   

After creating a "Dummy Player" by doing /scoreboard players set Blue Lives 30 I cannot use the /testfor command to check its score. /testfor Blue[score_Lives=0] always outputs false.

Yeah i could but it would be good to have a way to keep track of a score for a team not an individual player for pvp maps and stuff.

You can just set the counter on your own player, can't you?

Comment by Nick Donaldson [ 22/Mar/13 ]

Is there any way to test for a player that does not exist.
The "Blue" player is not a team or a player it is just a score counter pretty much but there is no way to check the score of a score counter that is not a real player.

You can either use a username or a target selector.

This is invalid:

/testfor Blue[score_lives=0]

This is valid:

/testfor @p[score_lives=0]

Creating Dummy Player Command

/scoreboard players set Blue Lives 30

Test Dummy Player Lives Command

/testfor Blue[score_lives=0]

PS: The player "Blue" is NOT on the server but command blocks enable me to create this player for "Dummy" purposes

Please attach the command that testing commandblock.

No, you don't get what I'm saying with the /scoreboard command can create a player that does not actually exist. The player called "Blue" is not actually on the server but you can still make it show up on the scoreboard. But when i try to /testfor this "Dummy Player" it always returns false.

You can either use a username or a target selector.
The command should be

testfor @p[score_Lives=10]
