[1.8] [SOLVED] Time since Death

[Koward]

Hi !

I'm trying to access the time since the last death of the player. I know it's somewhere with StatList.timeSinceDeathStat but I don't see any method that could indicate in which variables the time is stored.

There isn't a lot of documentation about using the ingame stats for modding.

 

If anyone knows how they work, I would be glad to learn.

I would increment a ticker right after subscribing to the LivingDeathEvent. Check the instance of the entity in the LivingDeathEvent against the EntityPlayer, then increment your counter in ticks (use another event, such as the ClientTickEvent - remember to check the player instance and event.phase == Phase.Start or Phase.END, otherwise your code runs twice per tick). This way, you have complete control of when your counter increments and when it stops.

Clever, but if the game already does that for us I suppose it's better to use it.

 

EntityPlayerMP#getStatFile().readStat(StatList.deathsStat)

 

Worked perfectly, thank you. I don't know what is the time unit of this value, but I'll figure out by testing.

The values look a bit low to be game ticks, but you may be right, I should just do some tests.

Don't worry I knew you wanted to write this one, I was already using the good statistic

I don't know if there is a way to make reliable measurements but it looks like the time is in seconds (the ticks are probably divided when added to the stats, maybe to get lower numbers ?) but checking the source would be the only way to know for sure of course.

Thanks a lot ! My problems are now solved.
