this:

 

 

 

@Override

public void attackEntityWithRangedAttack(EntityLivingBase nttlb, float rangeMod) {

 

if(f3 >= this.minRange) {

 

this.attacktype = 3;

   

    this.worldObj.setEntityState(this, (byte)35);

   

    float a = 0.75f + (1-rangeMod) + ((float)(this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.25D)

            + ((float)this.worldObj.difficultySetting.getDifficultyId() * 0.11f)) + (nttlb instanceof EntityBat ? 15 : 0);

 

    nttlb.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeMobDamage(this), a);

    nttlb.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.magic, a);

 

    this.playSound("random.fizz", 5.0F, .21F);

    System.out.println(a);

}}

 

 

 

the game will ignore the second call to attackEntityFrom. Whatever's listed first is it.

 

My objective is to ensure x amount of damage from any of this mobs attacks bypass armour while the rest is physical damage. The above example is an exception where the damage is low and split 50/50. I added similar lines to all the mobs attacks. The mob, a boss, has one exceptionally powerful attack that current armour will not defend well against, forcing the player to use the mod-added armour to stay alive. causing a portion of the damage as magic/generic is intended to ensure the player still does take damage of some amount.

thank you. resetting the hurtResistanceTime to 0 after each attack worked just fine.

The last attack shouldn't reset the hurt time, just FYI
