Heal using the Scripting Api

[proper gale]

Is it possible to use the scripting api to heal an entity a certain amount (number). So far I have tried to apply negative damage and I have thought to use the instant health effect though I don't know a formula or equation to apply the exact level of instant health needed to heal the correct amount of hearts.

just test out the amplifier until you get the right amount of hearts you want regenerated.

use .setHealth

[midnight barn]

that's a thing?

[fair ginkgo]

idk what that is but I know you can use this

let hp = Entity.getComponent('minecraft:health')
hp.setCurrentValue( hp.currentValue + Healammount)

oh sorry I meant setCurrentValue old name was setHealth

[faint olive]

ignore that

What do you mean like max?

[midnight barn]

nvm

messed around with your script, this does work too

[fair ginkgo]

Yea i took it from one of my scripts

[midnight barn]

really no difference between the instant health method, but it is better to deal with amount values and not to guess off of amplifier values

thank you, you helped me too, I was wondering how to heal through script.

[fair ginkgo]

Well yea but also you can also just set it aswell

[midnight barn]

oh I know, I was actually messing with that before I stumbled upon this post

Also if you want to calc how much to heal it is better
