Hi everybody. I am new to forge, and I've been having some trouble making the player take damage. I'm just unsure about how to go about using a damage source to cause damage to the player. If you could help me in any way, or perhaps just post some code that worked for you and explain it, I would very much appreciate it.

What kind of damage? like how the cactus hurts you when you touch it?

No, more like a passive type of damage, i.e hunger.

Okay, but what is the player object in that line? If you could perhaps post the line where you instantiate it, that would be great.

I tried this:

 

      EntityPlayer player = mc.thePlayer;

	player.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.outOfWorld, 1); 

 

In server tick handler, but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks, I just messed around with it a bit, and got this to work:

 

 EntityPlayer e = (EntityPlayer) mc.theWorld.playerEntities.get(i);
	    EntityPlayerMP player =     FMLCommonHandler.instance().getMinecraftServerInstance().getConfigurationManager().getPlayerForUsername(e.username);

		player.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.outOfWorld, 1);
