crude barn !event entity damaged

Event: entity damaged by entity

Group

Entity

Event Lines

<entity> damaged by <entity> <entity> damaged (by <cause>) <entity> damages <entity>

Switches

with:<item> to only process the event when the item used to cause damage (in the damager's hand) is a specified item.
type:<entity> to only run if the entity damaged matches the entity input.

Triggers

when an entity is damaged.

Has Player

when the damager or damaged entity is a player. Cannot be both. - this adds switches flagged:<flag name> + permission:<node>, in addition to the <player> link.

Has NPC

when the damager or damaged entity is an NPC. Cannot be both.

Context

<context.entity> returns the EntityTag that was damaged.
<context.damager> returns the EntityTag damaging the other entity, if any.
<context.cause> returns an ElementTag of reason the entity was damaged - see !language damage cause for causes.
<context.damage> returns an ElementTag(Decimal) of the amount of damage dealt.
<context.final_damage> returns an ElementTag(Decimal) of the amount of damage dealt, after armor is calculated.
<context.projectile> returns a EntityTag of the projectile, if one caused the event.
<context.damage_type_map> returns a MapTag the damage dealt by a specific damage type with keys: B...
<context.was_critical> returns 'true' if the damage was a critical hit. (Warning: this value is ca...

Determine

ElementTag(Decimal) to set the amount of damage the entity receives.
"CLEAR_MODIFIERS" to zero out all damage modifiers other than "BASE", effectively making damage == final_damage.

Has Known Location

True - this adds switches in:<area> + location_flagged:<flag name>.

Cancellable

True - this adds <context.cancelled> and determines cancelled + cancelled:false.

this is what fires when you punch/attack an armor_stand

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:09 AM

#

ah sweet

crude barn Nov 3, 2022, 1:09 AM

#

but uh, i think i heard invisibility makes that not work

#

you'd want to try and see

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:09 AM

#

o yikes lol

#

ill try

#

oh wait

#

is there a way to try without activating another script

#

im running this in a while loop

#

or would i go about making a different type of script
then running that script within the while loop

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

wot

#

you cant run events on a while loop

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

ye

#

would I make a task script

#

and run it that way

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

oh wait. you want to check if the armor stand is being hit WHILE the while thing is going off?

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

ye

#

ive only ever used world scripts so ill try out the other ones

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

it wont work like how you're thinking

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

how would i go about it then

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:17 AM

#

you should put the world script with a flagged: switch
before your while command, flag the player with a specific flag used only for this
after your while ends, take that flag off the player

#

so kinda like this

- flag <player> myuniqueflag
- while thing:
  - do thing
- flag <player> myuniqueflag:!

on armor_stand damaged by player flagged:myuniqueflag:
- do thing

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

aaah

#

thats rlly useful thanks

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

np

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:27 AM

#

the event doesnt seem to be activating

#

wait i got another idea, ill try left/right click checking on the armor stand

#

might work because its invisible and doesnt take dmg

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

if you copy pasted my "script", i dont know if armor_stand is the correct armor stand thing

#

so that might be why

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

hm ill check that as well

#

btw how do i check a specific armorstand

#

i have one saved
save:army

#

how would i implement that in the event line

crude barn Nov 3, 2022, 1:29 AM

#

youll probably need to flag the entity and then check if the hit entity has the flag

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

hm

#

ill give it a try as well

#

okay so I dont the damage down

#

when you save an entity does it only save for the one event script

#

or the whole world script

crude barn Nov 3, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

it saves it for that queue

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

with save:name

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

hybrid harness how would i implement that in the event line

~~<entry[savename]>? i dont know if thats what you're looking for~~

crude barn Nov 3, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

unless you flag it

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

queue?

crude barn Nov 3, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

when your event fires, or you run a script, that script runs every command set up in one queue

#

when the queue ends, the saved data that isn't flagged is removed

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

ah k

#

if <context.entity> == flag:army_stand:
- narrate "yay"
i know this is horribly wrong

#

dont know if thats how you implement the flag

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:38 AM

#

depends on where you stored the flag

#

if its stored on the player, <player.flag[flagname]> will return it's value

#

if its on the server, <server.flag[flagname]>

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

i stored it as:

flag <[entry[army].spawned_entity]> army_stand
and check for it with:
if <context.entity>.has_flag[army_stand]>:

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:40 AM

#

yeah that should work,,, but you have one too many >

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:40 AM

#

ah

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 1:40 AM

#

<context.entity>.has_flag[army_stand]>

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

wait

#

can you flag entities other than the player

#

like an armorstand

#

or am i flagging this entity wrong

flag <[entry[army].spawned_entity]> meteorite

#

ah syntax

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

i got a big problem i think

#

I cant use
on player damages armor_stand flagged:damaging_armor_stand:
because the armor stand doesnt take damage (invisible)

#

and i cant use
on player left clicks armor_stand flagged:damaging_armor_stand:
because armor stands dont take that input

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

hybrid harness can you flag entities other than the player

yeah

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

ye i got that

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

you can flag entities, areas, the server itself

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 2:36 AM

#

only problem atm is the "on"

#

i can figure out which event to execute on

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 2:36 AM

#

huh not taking damage when invisible, i didnt know that

#

uuhhhhhhh

#

player (right|left) clicks fake entity

Triggers

when a player clicks a fake entity, one that is only shown to the player and not tracked by the server.

Has Player

Always. - this adds switches flagged:<flag name> + permission:<node>, in addition to the <player> link.

Context

<context.entity> returns the EntityTag of the entity that was clicked. Note that this entity is no...
This will return null if the player clicks a fake entity that was not spawned via !command fakespawn.
<context.hand> returns an ElementTag of the hand used to click.
<context.click_type> returns an ElementTag of the click type (left/right).

Has Known Location

True - this adds switches in:<area> + location_flagged:<flag name>.

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 2:37 AM

there's this

#

but idk if'd trigger if its invisible

#

no ideas otherwise

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 2:37 AM

Congratulations @hybrid harness! You're now at level 7!

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

ye i have no clue what to do now

#

only if there was a way to damage invisible armorstands

echo tusk Nov 3, 2022, 2:40 AM

#

no clue either, we gonna have to wait until a wiser entity shows up

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 3:39 AM

#

I got another worry

#

i reckon ignore the left click idea

hot thistle Nov 3, 2022, 3:54 AM

#

For left click, you can use the event "on animated", which fired whenever your left arm swings. For right click, you can just use "on right click". Then, you just need to do a raytrace to see if there's an invisible armor stand in front of you, about 4 blocks away (which is the reach of a player in survival, I believe)

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 4:06 AM

#

sounds hard ill come back to it lol

#

am i going crazy or should this be adjust everytime an event happens
define meteorite_dmg:+:1

#

everytime that run is should be 1,2,3,4,etc
right?

hot thistle Nov 3, 2022, 4:18 AM

#

define is only for the queue. Once it's done, it's as though the definition no longer exists

#

If you want it to persist, you need to use a flag

hybrid harness Nov 3, 2022, 4:18 AM

#

ahh

#

wait next problem

#

i want to have a flag but without it overlapping other flags

#

e.g
I want a counter for multiple blocks not 1, and they overlap with flaps
