Why does execute "as" not work in Command Block
Basically, I am trying to make a system so that when a player dies a dead body (armour stand with team colour) spawns 1 Block underneath the death spot so that when it is lying on the ground the legs are hidden.
I tried to use this command in my setup:
/execute as (player_placeholder) run tp @e[distance=..150,type=minecraft:armor_stand,name=Corpse] ~ ~-1 ~
but it only teleports my armour stand to the command block and not to my friend (player_placeholder).
Could someone tell me why or maybe find a different solution for my plan?

The as subcommand only changes the executing entity, but the position does not change, meaning the position will still be at the previous executing entity. You need to use at @s to move the position to the target entity. Like this:
execute
as (selector)
at @s
run
tp @e[distance=..150,type=minecraft:armor_stand,name=Corpse] ~ ~-1 ~

Steps to Use a Command BlockHow does conditional work in command blocks?
"Conditional": A command block in conditional mode will only execute its command after the command block behind it has executed successfully. ("behind it" in the sense of opposite to the direction the command block is facing, regardless of chain direction or even if chaining is occurring).Can a command block execute multiple commands?
To make your command block run multiple commands, you will need to summon FallingSand or falling_block (depending on your version of Minecraft) with command blocks and redstone blocks for each command. The command blocks will be stacked one on top of the other and contain the individual command.How do you use the Block command test?
