Get Absorption Level?

I'm writing a plugin that regenerates absorption levels after a given time and I'm wondering if there's any code I can use to simply list the "health" remaining in the absorption.

 

I actually don't think you can..

The best you can do is listen to the EntityDamageEvent and work out how many hearts would remain after each

 

@MezaGalaxus Would getMaxHealth or getHealth show signs of the absorption effect?

 

They do not. They only list the health, not the absorption.

 

Absorption adds health for a certain amount of time.
I'm not certain if

 

Absorbtion doesn't add health, it adds absorbtion points

 

@MezaGalaxus

Code:

int absorpHearts(Player p)
{
    for (PotionEffect pe : p.getActivePotionEffects())
    {
        if (pe.getType().equals(PotionEffectType.ABSORPTION))
        {
            int amt = pe.getAmplifier() * 2 + 2;
            return amt;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Can be used to get how many extra hearts they should have
To regen them you have to regenerate 2 hearts ate a time or:
Create a system to create a fake absorption heart by
#1: Add half a heart using

Code:

player.setMaxHealth(p.getMaxHealth() + 1);

#2: Add a system when they take damage to remove this extra health

Code:

if (player.getHealth() <= 20)
{
        player.resetMaxHealth();
}

Put that in a damage listener for a player
#3 When regenerated turn those hearts into an asorption heart remeber every 1 is 2 hearts
#4 Add checks making sure they still have this potion effects in the regenerate health and damage entity.
Didn't understand this or need more help tag or pm me.

 

@Lightspeed
That'll get you the max absorbtion hearts, not the current though

 

@Lightspeed , @Scimiguy is right, the multiplier stays the same no matter how many hearts of absorption the player has remaining.

Out of interest, would there be a way to stop players regenerating health if they have more than 20 health? That way you'd be able to have this "shield bar" that doesn't regenerate health and is even more flexible than absorption.
