When an NPC has protection turned off and they are damaged, does it fire an EntityDamageEvent

And another question

NPC npc = CitizensAPI.getNPCRegistry().createNPC(EntityType.PLAYER, boss.toString());
npc.spawn(location, SpawnReason.CREATE);
npc.setProtected(false);
entity = (LivingEntity) npc.getEntity();

entity.getPersistentDataContainer().set(bossKey, PersistentDataType.STRING, boss.toString());
        entity.customName(boss.getDisplayName());
        entity.getAttribute(Attribute.GENERIC_MAX_HEALTH).setBaseValue(50);
entity.setHealth(50);

Any idea why setting persistent data container, setting custom name, and setting the max health & setting health dont work

[astral talon]

Yes it will always fire that event but it will be cancelled

You should use citizens api to set custom name

Persistent data probably because the entity gets respawned

Max health should work

Maybe it’s also because the entity gets respawned

Maybe do the setup in a traits on spawn method to avoid that issue

What do you mean the entity gets respawned?

You mean when i kill it?

[astral talon]

no, you haven't set a skin so it will respawn if the skin loads

@mellow crane

(also if chunk unloads/reloads)

[mellow crane]

So if i set a skin and dont unload the chunk should it solve the problem?

[astral talon]

As I said, you should use a trait

Or move code to npcspawnevent

That worked tysm
