damage negating skript not working

[steep forge]

I have this code

    if victim is a player:
        set {_damage} to damage
        set {_armor} to victim's armor final attribute
        set {_newDamage} to {_damage} - {_armor}
        
        broadcast "Original Damage: %{_damage}%"
        broadcast "Armor: %{_armor}%"
        broadcast "New Damage: %{_newDamage}%"
        
        if {_newDamage} < 1:
            set {_newDamage} to 1
            
        set damage to {_newDamage}```

but it broadcasts 1.5 new damage and original damage when im hit by a husk while wearing 0 armor, but it doesn't do damage to me. how do I fix it so it actually does damage?

well you're checking if {_newDamage} is less than 1 instead of greater than

you can also use the min function set {_newDamage} to min({_newDamage}, 1)

remember the alligator eats the bigger number :)

wait, but I’m checking if new damage is less than 1 because it should always do at least 1 damage. Regardless, it’s setting the damage to newdamage, which would be damage minus armor value
