• Report a Concern

The "on tell command" block does not work in multiplayer. The event will only trigger for the hosting player.

To reproduce:

• run this MakeCode program

player.onTellCommand("ping", function () {
    player.say("pong")
})

• whisper "ping" to yourself
• if you are the player hosting the game, the event will trigger and say "pong" in the chat
• otherwise, the event will not trigger and nothing will happen

  Hey Amitai,
  
  It is indeed a bug. I have no estimation on when it will be fixed though.

  Unfortunately no, not as of yet. The Makecode team is separate from mine, so my insights are a bit limited. In all honesty, I do not suspect a solution to be pushed until our next major update, which could still be several months away

  Thanks! Is there a way for me to contact the Minecraft MakeCode team directly, in case I need to in the future?
