Negative damage doesn't heal entities

[hoodwink_dude]

I am trying to make 'Healing Swords' but the method that I thought would work (taking a negative number from the HP would be the same as adding it to the HP) doesn't seem to work. In fact, negative damage doesn't even do anything which leads me to believe that there is some sort of validation on the attack damage handlers. Any idea what could be the cause of this? And also, is there a way around this or is there a different route I could take?

There is a damage validation of sorts it simply doesnt allow damage less than 0. You should call setHealth or heal whichever exists.
