Damage Issue

So I'm trying to make it so when you're in diamond armor all your damage is substracted by 1 heart and when someone is attacking you their damage is reduced by 1 heart. This means you deal 1 heart damage less but you also take 1 heart of damage less (means your tanky but dont deal as much damage).

The issue is that when both players are in diamond armor they don't deal damage to each other.

Code:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onEntityDmg(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {

        Entity dmgerE = e.getDamager();
        Entity dmgedE = e.getEntity();

        if (dmgerE instanceof Player && dmgedE instanceof Player) {

            Player dmger = (Player) e.getDamager();
            Player dmged = (Player) e.getEntity();
           
            if (Guardian.bruteSet(dmged.getEquipment())) {
               
                e.setDamage(e.getDamage() - 2);
           
            } else if (Guardian.bruteSet(dmger.getEquipment())) {
               
                e.setDamage(e.getDamage() - 2);
            }
        }
    }

 

Yeah, you're probably going to want to use a different equation with a factor. i.e. e.setDamage(e.getDamage / 2);

The code seems to heal them, if I set the health of the player then hit them it's healing them?

Okay so changing the damage the guy in the diamond armor is dealing work from this code:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDmg(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {

        Entity dmgerE = e.getDamager();
        Entity dmgedE = e.getEntity();

        if (dmgerE instanceof Player && dmgedE instanceof Player) {

            Player dmger = (Player) e.getDamager();
            Player dmged = (Player) e.getEntity();
           
            if (Guardian.bruteSet(dmger.getEquipment())) {
               
                int damage = (int) (e.getDamage() - 2);
           
                e.setDamage(damage);
               
                dmger.sendMessage("you have delt " + damage);
            }
        }
    }

So it's just when I'm trying to change the values of how much damage a player can do to the guy in diamond armor issue.

@Coopah Why are you using ints for damage? Damage is in doubles for a reason, you know. You also want to look into the Damage API in which you can change how armour affects the final damage.

 

@AdamQpzm
I was using ints so I can easily put it in the message for test reasons. I didn't think of that.
