1.10.2 [1.10.2] [SOLVED] Custom damage source on custom item hit

[NewDivide]

Hey, 

I searched for a way to change the damage source on a custom item (non sword) when someone hits something, without using events,  but i find nothing

Is there a way to do it, or i need to subscribe to some event?

 

Maybe LivingAttackEvent, Player EntityAttackEvent or something like that?

 

Thanks in advance :)!

Question is, why? What are you trying to achieve exactly?

public static DamageSource itemHit  = new DamageSource("itemHit").setDamageBypassesArmor();

To display a custom chat message on death by that item, and to change the damage amount when hit with that item

Best way I can think of is to catch LivingAttackEvent, check if it is the "normal" damage source and was caused by your sword. If so, cancel the event and cause your custom damage.

ok, Ill try that!
