Solved How to stop damage cooldown?

Hi!
You know how in MC, mobs/players/animals or whatever, can't take damage too often, like if you kept hitting a creeper, it would only be registering half the hits?

I've seen plugins (such as bending- using rapidpunch) override this somehow. How is this possible?

 

@TheSporech
Well keep a Map with the entity ID as key, and a Long as value.
On hit, check if the map contains the attacker's ID, if it does, check if the last time they hit (the value which is in miliseconds) plus the cooldown value in miliseconds is less than the current timestamp. If it is allow them to hit. Otherwise cancel the damage.

Now, to explain better, here is a code-like representation:

Code:

Map <Integer,Long> MAP ;

onHit{
   if MAP contains DAMAGER_ID then:
       if( MAP get DAMAGER_ID + COOLDOWN_IN_MS > CURRENT_TIME_MILISECONDS ) then:
          cancelHit
       end if.
   end if.
}

 

I don't want to add my own cooldown, I want to get past the default MC cooldown.
MC only registers hits every X ticks, yet some plugins seem to get past this. How?

 

@TheSporech
Use LivingEntity#setMaximumNoDamageTicks(int ticks). The default is 20 ticks, so you can lower it, but this is not permanent, you will need to set it for every entity when they are spawned (if you want to change entities) and every player when they join (if you want to change players).

 

@CoolDude53
Umm, you linked another method than you wrote. I think the linked one is the correct one.

 

Thanks, this is what I needed.
When you say it isn't permanent, do you mean that the effect will wear off? or it doesn't apply globally?

 

oops, fixed ;3

@TheSporech
I mean that when you set a player max no damage ticks, it will reset every time they logout. Mobs just need to have it set whenever they spawn.

 

Thanks dude!
This really helps.

 

You could just combine the 2 ifs

 

@WolfMage1 Ofcourse, but does it make it more readable? Nope! Does it make it more efficient? Nope! so i can't see a reason to do it
