Armor in procedures

This section covers some useful tips when working with armor in the procedure editor.

Using armor slot IDs

This chart shows how to use the armor slot ids in your procedures.
Most procedure blocks that have to do with armor slots will use these exact values listed below.
It is possible to test if an entire set of armor is being used by using the "Get item from armor slot [0] if [evebt/target entity]" procedure block. It is possible to do this using the AND logic operator to test if all slots consist of specific items like iron armor. It is also possible to require only one piece of armor in that same set if you change the logic operation to the OR setting.

Armor piece	Armor slot id
Boots	0
Leggings	1
Chestplate	2
Helmet	3
