I need help writing a command code in 1.13. I want to summon lightning to hit specific entities within a set block range. So far my attempts haven't been correct.

/execute as @e[distance=..5] at @s run summon minecraft:lightning_bolt ~ ~ ~

Hope this helps

PS: I don't know about 1.13 command syntax, so if it doesn't work let me know.

Here ya go

/execute as @p if entity @e[type=entity,distance=..radius] run execute at @e[type=entity] run summon minecraft:lightning_bolt ~ ~ ~

If you are running it from a command block you should run it relative to a player unless you want it relative to a command block

That's what /execute at is used for

I keep getting syntax error:unexpected summon At <<lightning_bolt>>
