Functions

These functions are defined by Skript. You may also create your own functions! Tutorial for doing so is planned, but right now you need to seek it elsewhere.

abs 🔗

Since: 2.2
Creates a date from a year, month, and day, and optionally also from hour, minute, second and millisecond. A time zone and DST offset can be specified as well (in minutes), if they are left out the server's time zone and DST offset are used (the created date will not retain this information).
Examples:
date(2014, 10, 1) # 0:00, 1st October 2014
date(1990, 3, 5, 14, 30) # 14:30, 5th May 1990

location 🔗
Patterns:
  • location(x: number, y: number, z: number, world: world = event-world, yaw: number = [[integer:0]], pitch: number = [[integer:0]])
Since: 2.2
Creates a location from a world and 3 coordinates, with an optional yaw and pitch. If for whatever reason the world is not found, it will fallback to the server's main world.
Examples:
location(0, 128, 0)
location(player's x-coordinate, player's y-coordinate + 5, player's z-coordinate, player's world, 0, 90)
location(0, 64, 0, world "world_nether")
location(100, 110, -145, world("my_custom_world"))
log 🔗
Patterns:
  • log(n: number, base: number = [[integer:10]])
Since: 2.2
A logarithm, with base 10 if none is specified. This is the inverse operation to exponentiation (for positive bases only), i.e. log(base ^ exponent, base) = exponent for any positive number 'base' and any number 'exponent'. Another useful equation is base ^ log(a, base) = a for any numbers 'base' and 'a'. Please note that due to how numbers are represented in computers, these equations do not hold for all numbers, as the computed values may slightly differ from the correct value. Returns NaN (not a number) if any of the arguments are negative.
Examples:
log(100) = 2 # 10^2 = 100
log(16, 2) = 4 # 2^4 = 16
max 🔗

mod 🔗
Patterns:
  • mod(d: number, m: number)
Since: 2.2

mod(256436, 100) = 36
mod(-1, 10) = 9

sqrt 🔗
Patterns:
