Stopping Entity from Targeting Player

[eternal nimbus]

Trying to make it so when the player has a metadata tag, the entity targetting them stops targetting them.

on entity target:
    target is a player
    set {_p} to target
    send "t" to {_p}
    if metadata "inPod" of target is set:
        cancel event
        play sound "block.note_block.chime" with pitch 1.5 to target
        send "initial: %target of entity%" to {_p}
    else:
        while target is entity's target:
            send "%metadata "inPod" of target%" to {_p}
            if metadata "inPod" of target is set:
                reset target of entity
                play sound "block.note_block.chime" with pitch 1.5 to target
            wait 1 second
        send "while: %target of entity%" to {_p}```

The initial target part (if the player already has the tag) works. But for some reason if the player is already being targeted and then gets the tag, the `reset target of entity` isn't working and the entity continues targeting the player.

Im not sure if im using 'reset target entity' wrong or if there is another way to do it.

I'm randomly guessing here without looking at your code

is the reset resetting to the same target?

pretty sure
