How to set the damage in a procedure to player's damage?
Sat, 10/09/2021 - 21:11 (edited)

What I mean is when an entity dies to some custom damage I want to set who killed the entity.
Example: player performs a special aoe attack and deals custom damage to surrounding mobs, but mob kills don't count as player kills (doesn't show in statistics that you killed that mob in statistics, no player kill only loot dropped, no experience dropped)

How do I do that?

Oh also I noticed when you first hit the mob and then deal the custom damage the localization changes to death.attack.name.player. How do I force it to always be .player?

Edit: How do I also make it so it doesn't pass through armor?

Scratch all of that. I found out there's a death.attack.player in vanilla. How do I apply it to my procedure? I don't see it on the list.

Not what I'm looking for. Also rude.
I know how custom death messages and custom damage works. I just want it to be from a player, so it's a player kill (xp drops, kill counts in statistics)

there is a procedure block called Deal Custom Damage type: death.attack.YOUR_DAMAGE

basically to make it you need to go to Location Tab and make a new death.attack.NAME

and on the second bar make something like PLAYER_CODE died from NAME

okay scratch that too, just re-read the thing, basically what you want is for example, PlayerA killed PlayerB from DAMAGE right?

No

I want, and i think mystical wanted to know aswell, how we could deal damage in a procedure, and then the Player(Sourceentity) getting the kill award (Not just a death massage, but being the SOURCEENTITY in the Entities "When entity dies" Procedure).

My enitity has a Procedure that when it dies, gives the Killer(Player) EXP for a custom leveling system i made. This does NOT work if the entity wasn't killed by the Player.

Problem is:

The "deal damage" and "deal custom damage localized as death attack blah blah blah" do NOT COUNT as if the Player hit the entity, so the Player never gets the custom EXP(kill award) he should.

Which is bad for my mod, so im searching for a solution.

Gonna bump this cos I had the same issue. So far the easiest way I could see to do this is to modify the 'amount' variable that is given with the 'entity attacked' trigger but I haven't figured that out

Rotzmauz, I feel like what you want can be explained better because even I'm confused. To my understanding, you're saying you are making a procedure that instantly deals damage to a mob or whatever and then you want the player to reap the rewards?

I have two questions, you talk about a custom damage, so I'm assuming the custom damage move is it's own procedure. If that is the case, could you not set the global event to entity attacked and make the target entity the mob that you killed and give the xp or whatever it is you are rewarding the player with to the source entity?
