ENTIY MOVE AND HIT PLAYER

hey, i need help. How to make a zombie and when the player gets close, the zombie moves and hits the player by code ?

 

PHP:

if ($zombie->distance($player) < 1) {
                    $packet = new AnimatePacket();
                    $packet->action = AnimatePacket::ACTION_SWING_ARM;
                    $packet->entityRuntimeId = $zombie->getId();
                    $player->dataPacket($packet);
                    $player->setHealth($player->getHealth() - 1);
                }

 

Instead of setting the player's health, a better way could be actually making the zombie entity attack the player by calling entity damage event.

PHP:

$zombie->attack(new EntityDamageEvent($zombie, EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_CUSTOM, $damageValue));


This will cause the player to take knockback, which I think is better.

 

Thanks very much!!

 

No problem!
