I'm trying to get my agent to detect whether there's a block infront of him.

Code:

if agent.detect(AgentDetection.BLOCK, FORWARD):

    player.say(":)")

I keep getting the error message "Error:AttributeError: 'Agent' object has no attribute 'detect'.

I can't find ANY info on how to do this ANYWHERE! Plz halp!

  Hi Francesca Germer! Which Python are you using, MakeCode or Notebooks?

  I had the same error in MakeCode, so I restarted with the same exact code that time, it worked.

  If you are coding Python in Notebooks, the commands and syntax are a little different. Hope this helps!

  hmmm ok. I'm using notebooks. Is there a way to use inspect to detect just whether there's a block there or not? Not a specific block type, I just want to know if there's something there.

  I believe that agent.detect("down") returns a true/false value for whether a block is present. =]

  Hi. This might work. I have tried many ways to do this, but variables are the only way. code:

  i = 0

  detection = 0

  
  

  def on_forever():

      global i, detection

      i = GRASS

      detection = agent.inspect(AgentInspection.BLOCK, FORWARD)

      if i == detection:

          player.say("Grass Found")

  loops.forever(on_forever)

  Change the grass to any valid block name.

  Hi, @Stefan Stoilov ! I'm thinking this is Minecraft Makecode Python? How did you found the AgentInspection.BLOCK information? I am always digging for more details, and I never know what I have missed! Please and thanks! Were you just able to use portions of the example code there?

  I think Francesca is using Python Azure Notebooks.
