Ignoring Armor with e.setDamage()

Trying to do a fixed amount of damage to all players, whether they're wearing armor or not.
e.setDamage in the EntityDamagebyEntityEvent doesn't seem to do the trick (0 damage to protection IV and stuff like that) but works find with armorless patients.

Tips pls

You damage the player directly.

 

Use player.setHealth(player.getHealth() - damage);
Make sure to check if the damage dealth minus the health is greater than 0, if less than or equal to 0, set the health to 0.

Code:

if (player.getHealth() - damage <= 0D) player.setHealth(0D);
else player.setHealth(player.getHealth() - damage);

 

KingFaris11 didn't think of that at all. Thanks!

Gater12 yeah wasn't thinking properly -.-

Or use damage(double d) method from which the Player inherits from Damageable.

 

Or you could be a hardcore coder that adds the % of damage reduction back to the damage!

 

I was about to say player.damage() but then I thought that this would damage them normally and fire EntityDamageEvent (or if parsed with an entity argument too, EntityDamageByEntityEvent) and cause a loop.

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void fireballDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        // Player take = (Player) e.getEntity();
        Entity att = e.getDamager();
        Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
 
        if(att instanceof LargeFireball){
            if(p.getHealth() - 5D <= 0D){
                p.setHealth(0D);
            }
            else{
                p.setHealth(p.getHealth() - 5D);
            }
        }
}

Seems to one shot anyone with full health if its a direct hit rather than doing only 2.5 hearts.

Any Ideas?

 

You forgot to cancel the damage event, but since you want the damage effect probably, use e.setDamage(0D);

 

I dont see how that stops them from only taking 2.5 hearts.
Edit: turns out it works anyway, thanks!

 

Let me explain it to you:
What you did before was take away the health BUT the damage event wasn't cancelled and so the REAL damage that was meant to be done is dealt. So basically, you're meant to create an alternative to EntityDamageByEntityEvent - therefore must either cancel the event or set the damage to 0.
