server.scheduleInTicks and delayed server operations

    // Only proceed if a player was the source of damage

logs?

[slim zodiac]

The intent here is a delayed damage effect. IE: Hit someone with sword. 1 second later they take additional damage

[gilded timber]

probably best to show logs first thing

Ok yeah fair

[gilded timber]

i think i see the issue

you have conflicting callback variables

[slim zodiac]

event?

[gilded timber]

in your scheduler you define the callback as event

when the hurt event is also event

so it's thinking you're calling <scheduler>.getPlayer

[slim zodiac]

right, good catch

ill test rn

[gilded timber]

but also you can just use playerSource without having to use the player ID

same for the entity being hurt

[slim zodiac]

Ok yeah that was a chatgpt thing

Sick, that works now. I guess event.entity.damage() isn't a thing either. Any idea how make an attack on an entity?

As in, create an instance of damage through event.entity
