Code not working

I am trying to write code to get an Anvil to appear above my head if I am a specific location. Here is my code:

def forever():

    if player.position()==world(200,4,200):

        blocks.place(ANVIL, pos(200,10,200))

loops.forever(forever)

 

I have run a code to print my location and the world's location and it shows the same but somehow in this scenario, it does not work. Do you have any idea what is going wrong or if this is even possible?

 

Thank for your time.

  Hi Jason-

  Our engineers have been having a lively discussion about your question!

  The first issue is that pos() defines relative coordinates, so pos(200, 10, 200) is pretty far away from the player.  To indicate a position above the player, it would look more like pos(0, 10, 0).  This would put the anvil ten blocks above the player.

  The next issue is that in makecode, comparing positions with == doesn't work, since the type of a position can't be compared using ==.

  Here is some code that should work.  You need to convert the positions to strings, which can be compared with the == operator.  And then place your anvil.

  def on_forever():
      str1 = player.position().to_string()
      str2 = world(208, 75, 5).to_string()
      if (str1 == str2):
          blocks.place(ANVIL, world(208, 85, 5))
  loops.forever(on_forever)

   

  Here is another way to achieve this, using a function:
