Ignoring entities' iframes

[abstract stratus]

let dmgnum = 0;

world.afterEvents.entityHurt.subscribe(({damage, damageSource, hurtEntity}) => {
    const player = damageSource.damagingEntity;
    const hitbox = hurtEntity;
    if (hitbox.typeId == "dungeonscombat:hitbox" && player.typeId == "minecraft:player" && damageSource.cause == EntityDamageCause.entityAttack ) {
        dmgnum = damage;
        let nearbyEntities = player.dimension.getEntities({
            maxDistance: 4,
            closest: 1,
            excludeTypes: ['player', 'item', 'xp_orb'],
            excludeFamilies: ['dchitbox', 'dchitboxride'],
            location: player.location
        });
        for (const entity of nearbyEntities) {
            entity.applyDamage(dmgnum,{cause: EntityDamageCause.entityAttack, damagingEntity: player});
        }
    world.sendMessage(`damage is ${dmgnum}`);
    }
});

the code checks the damage done to dummy entity by the player, and then it applies damage to nearby closest mob with the same damage done to the dummy entity

but theres a limit where dummy entity gets into iframes on hit, making applyDamage to run inconsistently because the code runs if the dummy entity is damaged

using entityHitEntity event partially works but it doesnt track the number of damage done reliably since entityHurt fires only when the entity gets damaged

is there any workaround for this?

[stray spire]

wait this works?

[abstract stratus]

what do you mean by "this works?"

[stray spire]

like it bypasses iframes?

[abstract stratus]

no

[stray spire]

oh

well i was just actually working on something

that does

but idk how its gonna work

[abstract stratus]

well that code runs when the player damages the dummy entity

so its all about the dummy entity

[stray spire]

well u can do it in vanilla

you just have to ```js
/damage @s 0 override

it always attacks

but idk how im gonna use it

[abstract stratus]

uh

im not sure if this really works

at all

[stray spire]

wait yours or mine?

[abstract stratus]

this

[stray spire]

it does

i tested it

put it in a repeat command block

[abstract stratus]

i mean sure it does ignore the iframes

but like i said above

[stray spire]

yeah it does

[abstract stratus]

the code uses dummy entity's damage

[stray spire]

ik

[abstract stratus]

and since player has to hit the entity

directly

my code wouldnt be consistent because the iframes would trigger

[stray spire]

thats why im tryna work on it so it does work

[abstract stratus]

im not sure what to do with that command though

[stray spire]

wait i made a system

that works

lemme cip it

[stray spire]

look at this

[abstract stratus]

does it do fixed damage

[stray spire]

yeah

but u could prob set a variable

[abstract stratus]

yeah thats the issue sadly

i need the game to track the damage without variables

[stray spire]

but u kinda gotta recode the entire damage system lol

[abstract stratus]

yeah i noticed there was no crit in the vid

[stray spire]

yeah u cant crit either

[abstract stratus]

though it sounds simple

using isFalling

[stray spire]

ill send code

[abstract stratus]

and then multiplying the damage by 1.2

[stray spire]

world.afterEvents.entityHitEntity.subscribe(({damagingEntity, hitEntity}) => {
    if (damagingEntity.typeId == "minecraft:player" && hitEntity.typeId == "minecraft:player") {
    hitEntity.applyDamage(0.00005, {cause:EntityDamageCause.override,damagingEntity:damagingEntity})
    }
})```

ok

[abstract stratus]

what is override cause actually

is it any different than entityAttack

other than ignoring iframes

[stray spire]

idk if it is

[abstract stratus]

hmm

so it basically sets the hp

that means it ignores armor

[stray spire]

yeah

gotta recode armor too

lmao

ok i added crits

[abstract stratus]

ok so

i just thought of the

most ridiculous one that might work

when you damage a mob thats in iframe state with damage higher than previous damage

itll damage the entity again

but it caps to the highest damage done

[stray spire]

wait what

[abstract stratus]

yeah its a vanilla thing

try it

im sending a vid

[abstract stratus]

its shown in the last bit of the vid

an attack without a weapon does 1 damage but crit multiplies the damage by 1.2

[stray spire]

oh

[abstract stratus]

so if you attack midair and then attack while falling

itll do extra damage to fit the highest damage done

in that case itll be 1.2 damage in total

[stray spire]

ok

[abstract stratus]

so my thoughts here

is to multiply the damage by twice (excluding the crit multiplier) in interval

[stray spire]

it aint working for me tho

[abstract stratus]

i think this might need an hour of work (for me at least) to get it work

since there are many instances lol

[stray spire]

wait

yeah thats cool

[stray spire]

this is cool

system.afterEvents.scriptEventReceive.subscribe(({id, sourceEntity, message}) => {
    if (id == "traye:cooldown") {
        function applyDamageWithDelay(entity, initialDamage, increment, iterations, delay) {
            function applyDamageStep(currentIteration) {
                if (currentIteration >= iterations) return;
        
                const damage = initialDamage + (currentIteration * increment);
                if (message) entity.applyDamage(damage, {cause:"entityAttack",damagingEntity:world.getPlayers({name:`${message}`})[0]});
                else entity.applyDamage(damage)
        
                system.runTimeout(() => {
                    applyDamageStep(currentIteration + 1);
                }, delay);
            }
        
            applyDamageStep(0);
        }
        
        applyDamageWithDelay(sourceEntity, 1, 0.0001, 100, 2);
    }
})```

[abstract stratus]

[stray spire]

did u get ur system to work?

[abstract stratus]

not yet

[abstract stratus]

imma start making this to work now

though im not sure how to properly get the damage done to the entity, because entityHitEntity and entityHurt hates each other when it comes to damage part

there could be some issues like the game not fetching the damage properly (such as quickly swapping from diamond swrod to fists, making fists do 8 damage)

[abstract stratus]

nailed it 😎
now i just need to fix the damage value issues and switch override cause to something else

[stray spire]

nice

[stray spire]

can you send code?

[abstract stratus]

sure hold on

@stray spire

you can make it pvp friendly by removing player on excludeType and if hitEntity & hurtEntity

never tested it but it could hit self too so beware
