How can I detect when you use totem?

[formal jolt]

How can I make that when a player uses totem (postmortal) a message appears with the person and the entity or thing that caused the damage?

[pure gazelle]

You can do this with only command, at least detect totem use but okay. You can use some things into the game. You detect when the player has the tótem in their inventory and store in a tag or scoreboard that it will works like a switch/powerON/OFF. Then when the totem isn't in player inventory you can deactivate or activate the tag/scoreboard player, testing if the totem isn't through or around the player or their inventory. All this can be inside a entityHurt or entityDie event.

edit: Excuse my bad english

[formal jolt]

Are you Spanish?

The language

[formal jolt]

But isn't there a way to detect what was the cause?

[pure gazelle]

Yes, but I am from LATAM

[pure gazelle]

Not at all, but you can an aproximate

[drowsy scarab]

cause is "none"

there's about 5 consecutive events triggered in 2ms

1. entityHurt: cause 'none'
   2,3,4. effectAdd: regen, absorption, fire res
2. entityHurt: cause <anything that caused it>

gl arranging those XD

[formal jolt]

And how is that? Xd

[drowsy scarab]

try this one

import { world,  Player } from "@minecraft/server";


world.events.entityHurt.subscribe(hurt => {
    const {
        damage,
        hurtEntity,
        damageSource: {
            cause, damagingEntity
        }
    } = hurt;
    if (damage > 0 || cause !== 'none' || !((damagingEntity ?? '') instanceof Player)) return;
    world.sendMessage(`${damagingEntity.name} popped ${hurtEntity}'s totem!`);
    //code

}, { entityTypes: ['minecraft:player'] })

[formal jolt]

nothing appeared

[drowsy scarab]

did a player killed aplayer?

[formal jolt]

No

[drowsy scarab]

do /damage

[formal jolt]

Does it only work if I die to some entity?

[drowsy scarab]

uhm it only works when the killer is player

but it can be changed to what u want

[formal jolt]

I put /damage @s 90 entity_attack entity @s but nothing appeared either xd

[formal jolt]

Well, I just want it to detect who killed the player using totem

I'm using a translator and sometimes it doesn't translate well, sorry

[drowsy scarab]

const { entityHurt } = world.events;

entityHurt.subscribe(hurt => {
    const {
        damage,
        hurtEntity,
        damageSource: {
            cause, damagingEntity
        }
    } = hurt;
    if (damage > 0 || cause !== 'none') return
    const evId = entityHurt.subscribe(hurt2 => {
        if (hurtEntity !== hurt2.hurtEntity) return
        const { cause, damagingEntity } = hurt2.damageSource;
        if (cause == 'none') return
        console.warn(`${damagingEntity?.name} popped ${hurtEntity.name}'s totem!`);
        entityHurt.unsubscribe(evId)
        //code
    }, { entityTypes: ['minecraft:player'] })
}, { entityTypes: ['minecraft:player'] })

[sacred grail]

is there any documentation for such niche information? or do you only know these through testing

[drowsy scarab]

Testing

[royal echo]

someone must help

[maiden maple]

I just implemented this in an addon to detect popped totems:

    //e.entity, e.oldValue, e.newValue    

    const inventory = e.entity.getComponent("minecraft:inventory").container;
    if (e.oldValue <= 0 && e.newValue > 0 && inventory.contains(new ItemStack("totem_of_undying", 1))) {
        //do the thing
    }
}, { entityTypes: ["minecraft:player"] });```

[drowsy scarab]

where to get who popped the totem

[opal wolf]

Well imma ask one thing, is it possible to detect death by commands
Using /kill, /damage, or any damaging/killing commands 🤔

Is the value "none" or smth else or is it just not possible

[drowsy scarab]

hmmm, good catch

dying in void also doesnt detect on my setup.
It's only designed for combat

hmm, the totem doesnt pop with those, i just tested

i did /kill detecting selfDestruct, but it just dropped my totem.
/damage @s void 40 also dropped the totem.
they didn't pop

[opal wolf]

Maybe the game just refuses
