I'm making a mod and I want an item to lose durability (1 every second) anytime it is in hand
Can anybody help?
I tried doing
(every wait 20 server ticks then deal 1 damage to item stack)
and it kinda works but whenever you hover over it the durability goes down drastically (removing durability every tick and not every second). sure I could keep this but I feel like it would be annoying to check how much durability is left (with advanced tooltips)

try to use
wait - ticks then on server side
do: every wait 20 server ticks then deal 1 damage to item stack
(u can find wait - ticks then on server side block in flow control tab on very down of it)
Hope i helped =)
I just want to point out that the 'wait - ticks then on server side' does not make timers, it pauses the current procedure, but does not stop it from running again.
This isn't very obvious in the interface at first, but I will try to explain it.
If you have a procedure that runs once, such as when it item is used, and you wait 20 ticks, the procedure will happen once after a second.
However, for a procedure that runs every tick, such as on item in hand tick, it will run the procedure 20 times per second, and if you wait for 20 ticks, it will start repeating 20 times per second, it will just be delayed in when it starts.
To put it differently, a procedure will run regardless of whether or not there is already a procedure running with a wait block, every tick will still run every tick, it will just have a delay for when it starts and stops running, but it will run constantly between the start and stop.
If you want to reduce the frequency, you can use an NBT tag-based timer, a variable-based timer, or simply use the 'do with 70% chance' procedure template but change 0.7 to be 0.05 for an average of once per second. For the timers, you should be able to find something that works fairly easily if you search for them.
