[Forge 1.16.5] Wierd interaction between entity.knockback and OnAttackedEvent

[theishiopian]

This is a follow up to an earlier post about not being able to use the knockback method. Well, since then I've learned a bit more about the nature of my problem. It turns out that knockback DOES work, but the catch is if I cancel the LivingAttackEvent that I'm calling the code from, then all attempts to modify the velocity of the player are nullified, even if i extract the mojang knockback code and reuse it (which I don't want to do in the long run, for legal reasons). As soon as I stop canceling the event, the knockback works. Unfortunately, I NEED to cancel the event, since its the whole point of the mod. What could be causing this interaction???

Absolutely! You're in luck, I have a git repo. I added comments in the problem section, the offending code is in EventHandler.java

Holy crap that actually worked! Thank you very much, I haven't seen hurtMarked documented or used anywhere!
