Solved Armour-Ignoring Damage

[inavir]

Hello, I was looking to set the damage in a on damage event to a value which ignores armour. To give you an example of what I was looking to do, the following code should explain.

on damage:
    set {_damage} to 10
    set damage to 0
    set victim's health to victim's health - ({_damage} / 2)

However, doing this doesn't show the death message properly if a player kills another player, and generally just messes with other plugins I'm using.

From what I've seen, Tuske's damage modifier expression might have helped, but it seems it was removed in 1.12. Furthermore, the final damage expression can't be set to anything. Is there any way around this aside from editing the nbt of the victim's armour every time?

To make it properly register the player as the killer, you can detect

if final damage > victim's max health

and, if so, set their health to some incredibly low number like 0.01 so that they'll still die via the attacker's damage, and then otherwise (if they're not gonna get killed by the damage) you can just keep doing what you're doing (subtracting the damage from their health directly).

Otherwise, no, there isn't a great way to do it as far as I'm aware.
