Currently, I have this code:

@SubscribeEvent
public void LivingAttackEvent(LivingAttackEvent event) {
	if(event.source.getSourceOfDamage() instanceof EntityPlayer) {
		event.entity.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.magic, DataHelper.getAttack(player.getDisplayName()) / 4);
	}
}

 

My goal is to apply additional damage whenever the player damages something. The problem with the code above, is that it removes any knock back that the player did.

 

You might ask yourself, why do I not use the source of damage from before? The simple answer is that it would make it a recursive loop.

 

So is there any other way to apply additional damage?

event.ammount += 2.0F; // adds one heart of damage

 

Or you could give the player an AttributeModifier for attackDamage if you want to permanently (or even temporarily, but that's more of a hassle) allow the player to inflict more damage.

Thanks a bunch

 

 

I'll go to the AttributeModifier. The 'ammount' field is final. :I

It's not final in Forge 965 for 1.6.4, but you're updating to 1.7.2 aren't you? I wonder why they made it final... being able to change the amount of damage seemed to me to be the main point of using LivingHurtEvent.

My bad, I was using LivingAttackEvent the entire time. *facepalm*

Lol, oh man, that totally slipped by me! Sorry I just assumed you were using LivingHurtEvent... mybad
