How to give Entities a health boost if special Armour is worn?

[Bedrock_Miner]

Heyho Guys!

I created some armour which should give the player (or Mob) which is wearing it a health boost. The problem is: If I use the potion Effect to manage this, the extra hearts never regenerate because they are resetted if I re-apply the potion effect every Tick. How can I fix this issue to create an armour that increases your maximum health?

Hey Bedrock_Miner,

 

you told that the regen effect doesnt apply fast enough because it gets reseted every tick.

 

The solution?

In your onArmorUpdate() method make a int-variable that counts ticks. Make it increase on every tick by 1 and

when it hits lets say 200 (10 secs) then you reapply the regen-effect. Then reset the counter again to 0.

Well, I have added this Feature already, the effect is re-applied every 8 seconds, but everytime this happens, the additional hearts are emptied.

If I have 2 extra hearts (both filled) and I re-apply the health boost effect, they are emptied.

Just give the entity a regeneration effect level 5000. That would easily fill the hearts up it only has to be there for maybe 10 ticks or so

Actually I don't want the Entity to be healed, so this doesn't work.

Get the entitys current health before you reapply the effect, and set the health to it afterward.

Try this.  check if potion is active, if no then add else combine.

 

if (!player.isPotionActive(potion.id))

    player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(potion.id, duration, amplifier, isAmbient));

else {

    PotionEffect potionEffect = player.getActivePotionEffect(potion);

    if (potionEffect.getDuration() < duration)

        potionEffect.combine(new PotionEffect(potion.id, duration, amplifier, isAmbient));

    }

}
