Need help with area damage

[last coyote]

So basically I'm making a weapon, which when right click is held is supposed damage every entities (except the player) in a specified radius every ~1sec.

I found a way to detect every entities in this radius :

public void radius(PlayerEntity player){ int maxDistanceFromPlayer = 5; Box entityBox = new Box(player.getBlockPos()).expand(maxDistanceFromPlayer); List entityList = player.getWorld().getEntitiesByClass(MobEntity.class, entityBox, e -> e.isAlive()); player.sendMessage(Text.literal(entityList.toString())); }

But I cannot find a way to damage them ??

If you could also tell me how to change the damage amount and rate of damage accordingly to damage amount and attack speed specified in in the item attributeModifier

here is the github repo : https://github.com/FROSTYTRIX/frostytrixs-random-items-mod-1.21.1

Run something like entityList.forEach((entity) -> entity.damage(source, 4f)

In this case, 4f would be your damage value (4) and the source would be a damage source

ofc...

thanks

okay so i couldn't make it work with this, not sure why, but I managed to make it work like that :
for (Object entity : entityList) { if (entity instanceof MobEntity && ((MobEntity) entity).getY() >= player.getY() && ((MobEntity) entity).getY() <= (player.getY()+2)){ ((MobEntity) entity).damage(player.getDamageSources().generic(), 4f); player.sendMessage(Text.literal("Damaged :" + entity)); } }

Your conditional says: I am true if my position y is greater than player position y AND if my position y is less than player position y + 2
Also, use a pattern variable
Additionally, your list should be of type entity and not object

yes i know, i wanted to limit it, to a certain height, or else entities below and others way too high were getting hit

I tried it with both MobEntity and Entity before going to Object, but it kept giving me the red underline and telling me to set it as Object

Send a screenshot

!!paste is probably better

Using a Paste Site

When sharing a large piece of code or a log, you should use a paste site instead of uploading a file or dumping it in a large codeblock.
Dumping your code/log in a code block or a message can make it difficult for other people to read previous messages.

Paste sites and their size limits:

» GitHub Gist: 100 MiB / Requires an account
» Paste.gg: 15 MiB / Account is optional
» Mclo.gs: 10 MiB / Anonymous (designed specifically for Minecraft logs)
» Paste.ee: 1 MiB / Account is optional (raises limit to 6 MiB)
» Pastebin.com: 512 KiB / Account is optional
» Hastebin.com: 400 KiB / Anonymous

Go learn about generics
Your entitylist should be a List<MobEntity>

As for the condition, you’ll have to debug why it’s not working
Try hitting a mob that is one block above your feet
