On Hit event?

[wanton bane]

Is there an event for when an entity hits another entity that is separate form the Hurt event?

Hurt is the hit event

And you have damage source in that where you can filter what type of damage, who did it, where, etc

I ask because i'm running into an issue trying to make an Ars Nouveau x Tetra thing. Currently when I attack with a tetra weapon I canst a spell from Ars Nouveau, that part works perfectly. But the issue is that if that spell deals damage, it triggers Hurt again

which then triggers the spell again

and so on and so forth

creating an infinite loop

and sadly Ars spells don't all deal magic damage, in fact most don't

so i can't just filter out magic damage

you mind if i share the event here?

maybe someone can figure out a way to handle this

EntityEvents.hurt(event => {
    let source = event.source.getActual();
    let target = event.entity;   
    if ( source && source.isPlayer()) {
        let main_hand = source.mainHandItem;
        let off_hand = source.offHandItem;      
        for ( let hand of [main_hand, off_hand] ) {
            if ( hand && hand.getItem() instanceof ModularItem ) {           
                let sourceLeechLevel = hand.getItem().getEffectLevel(hand, ItemEffect.get("source_leech"));
                let spellstriker = hand.getItem().getEffectLevel(hand, ItemEffect.get("spellstrike"));      
                if (sourceLeechLevel > 0) {
                        console.info("Instance of Source Leech!");
                        ArsCapability.getMana(source).ifPresent(mana => mana.addMana(5 * sourceLeechLevel));
                }//if player is wielding a source leech item
                if (spellstriker > 0 && !source.potionEffects.isActive('tetra:spellstrike_fatigue')) {
                    console.info("Instance of Spellstriker!");
                    let reactive = new SpellCaster(hand);
                    let caster = new PlayerCaster(source);
                    let spell = reactive.modifySpellBeforeCasting(source.getCommandSenderWorld(), source, InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND, reactive.getSpell());
                    source.addEffect(new MobEffectInstance('tetra:spellstrike_fatigue', 25)); // Anti-infinite-loop measures.
                    let spellContext = new SpellContext(source.getCommandSenderWorld(), spell, source, caster);
                    let resolver = new SpellResolver(spellContext);
                    resolver.onCastOnEntity(hand, target, InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND);
                }//if player is wielding a spellstriker weapon, cast a spell.
            }//if the weapon is a modular weapon
        }
    }//if damage was done by a player
})```

The potioneffect is my current work-around

It basically adds a cooldown between triggers of the spell

but this is what we in the business like to call Jank™️

so i want to find a true solution

[subtle glacier]

You could use a cooldown thing, so when you deal damage you put a tag on the enemy, then after X ticks you remove it with a schedule

When you deal damage you look for that tag and cancel the event if the tag is present

[wanton bane]

i mean that's what i'm doing now, but it feels like a mega jank solution

[subtle glacier]

It's a bit hard to read the code cuz I'm on the phone

And codeblock hate phones

[wanton bane]

I was able to solve this by just not using KJS events for this

i hooked into ForgeEvents.onEvent('net.minecraftforge.event.entity.player.AttackEntityEvent', (event))
