changing attribute and then setting it back to what it was

[grim mist]

i want to know how would you approach changing some attribute of a mob and then setting it back to what it was.

the only thing i could think of, is this:
think of a zombie named bob. now before changing his attribute i am first going to append a new compound entry in an array {uuid:[],value:0b} then i would store bob's attribute value and uuid into that compound. then i will change the attribute to whatever value i want.

now, if i wanna change the attribute back to what it was, i would iterate over the array until uuid matches to that of bob, and then via macros i would set his attribute back to what it was. this would certainly work, but i dont think this is the most efficient solution, and i hope to get some help brainstorming a better perfoming solution

just only change the value via modifiers that you can remove once your done

[grim mist]

oh what are modifiers ;-;

[grim yoke]

From memory: attribute @s <attribute> modifier <name> <uuid> <amount> <operation>

And then later you can remove it with
attribute @s <attribute> remove <same uuid>

Use autofill to help, syntax accuracy not guaranteed

ok whats the uuid for, i have always encountered uuid's of atributes but never really understood what it is, you mind giving a little explaination

[frank barn]

an attribute can have multiple modifiers

the uuid is there so you can differentiate between them

[grim mist]

so I just come up with some random uuid? lol

[grim yoke]

Yep

The DPH extension can auto-generate a random one for you, depending on your version

[grim mist]

pretty cool, so I add a modifier to say multiple an attribute by 0, and when I remove that modifier and it will get back to what it was on its own?

if that's what it is, then it's absolutely insane, thanks y'all

this doesnt work ```mcf
/attribute @s minecraft:generic.movement_speed modifier add 8aefc60a-b385-4b9a-97f5-15b901a21f43 stun 0 multiply_base

neither does this

/attribute @s minecraft:generic.movement_speed modifier add 8aefc60a-b385-4b9a-97f5-15b901a21f43 stun 0 multiply

what am i doing wrong

like it doesnt actually change my speed

[frank barn]

multiply modifiers alway use 1+x instead of x

that means you are actually multiplying by 1

[grim mist]

what is x here

[grim mist]

oh so should i do -1

oh

thanks

that actually worked

perfect.
