I've noticed that if I put a player head on a mob, wearing or with mount- it seems to block the hitbox of the entity where the player_head is.

How can I avoid this?

currently putting a player_head on a vex, so it's basically impossible to hit

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

#

ok, it might be something else. I think because I made the vex invisible?

#

ok, lemme pase

Hm... I think maybe the hitbox of the armorstand and head just overlap the vex too much?

that would be correct

#

the smaller variant however does not

#

on the x/z axis/in width* at least

reef orchid Sep 29, 2023, 11:49 PM

#

oooh, didn't know there was a smaller one.

#

but, I believe making them invisible also makes them not hittable? with hitboxes on, none show for anything I make invisible

#

I saw on another thread something about interation entities. Had never heard of them before- I suppose I could damage transfer

reef orchid Oct 2, 2023, 4:28 PM

#

I'm having some issues using the interaction entity to pass damage

#

it seems to work most of the time, but after a short time, the interaction entity just stops responding- I can still see the hitbox and detect it with find_entities

#

but hitting it does nothing

#

I see on the MC page about interactions that there's a "response" that defaults to falkse

Amazing! You got a vex to stay still long enough to put an armor stand on it :3!

however adjust doesn't see this as a valid mech

#

lol

What does the debug say about it?

reef orchid Oct 2, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

that part seems to work fine ;p

#

nada, once it stops reacting, events for it don't seem to fire

#

while it is responding, the damage is passed to the vex fine

#

it seems inconsistent - I can hit the first 2 1-2 times, but am able to hit the 3rd till death

#

you could do a smart listener, you flag the armor stand with it's vex, and then listen to entity_flagged:vex_armor_stand damaged by player, cancel the event and transfer the damage to it's relevant vex

reef orchid Oct 2, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

since the armor stand is invisible it's not hittable

next rain Oct 2, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

does the event not even fire?

#

mm thats an issue

reef orchid Oct 2, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

no it doesn't seem to

#

I have debug stuff narrated just by hitting an entity with a flag I've set- that doesn't fire in the cases where it stopps getting hit

#

hm... if I just spawn an interaction entity, it seems to behave fine...

#

ok, new info- if I don't attach the interact entity, then it continues to behave fine.

#

more weirdness:

if I attach the armorstand and the interact to the vex - the movement is good
if I try and attach the interact to the armorstand or the armorstand to the interact one of them doesn't stay attached and just sits on the ground

#

is there a way I can attach a player_head to the vex without the armorstand?

#

eh, even if I skip the armorstand it still stops registering the hit sometimes

#

so, not related to armorstand

#

maybe related to movement?

#

ok, if I remove the ai from the vex so it doesn't move

#

that fixes the issue

#

have tried with zombie as well, so it's not confined to the vex

#

ok

#

I might have fixed it

#

by adding the sync_server flag to my attach commands

reef orchid Oct 2, 2023, 8:13 PM

#

any thoughts about that before I mark as resolved?

low elk Oct 2, 2023, 11:10 PM

#

Oh, it could be what was happening was the actual hit box itself wasn’t moving, while looking like it was due to the attach command

#

So using sync_server is making it teleport it to actually move it so

#

it actually is in the right place

#

That is to say, vex moves, but armorstand didn’t, as the armorstand was only moving client side

reef orchid Oct 2, 2023, 11:30 PM

#

huh, for a bit anyway then it quits for some reason

#

well, I'm happy I have it working

#

thanks

#

just wanted to say, they all are still moving, at least visually as the armorstand has a head (only thing visible) and the interact is the only thing showing a hitbox, so I could tell they were all (at least clientside?) all together

low elk Oct 2, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

One way to test my theory is to turn off the sync_server and print the locations of all the pieces

#

That’ll tell you if they’re all in the same place from the servers point of view

#

Or playeffect a particle at their locations
