Modding Help Is there a way to make a weapon which harms the user?

I want to make some weapons like stabbing knife and vampire knife, and I want them to harm the user. Is there a way to do this?

 

Yes, if you make your own script, you could use

Code:

#### `void` status.applySelfDamageRequest(`DamageRequest` damageRequest)

Directly applies the specified damage request to the entity using this status controller.

 

I'm kind of confused...
Where do I put this?

 

What you want to do is doable via the Lua API; you wouldn't just "put" that somewhere, you'd have to make your own Lua script that'd use it, and require it in your weapon's config

 

oh... so it's impossible to do it in vanilla.
Well, nevermind then.

 

activeItem scripts are client-side, so you could use it on vanilla servers / with vanilla clients and they'd work, but you wouldn't be able to share them; if you were to give it to someone who doesn't have said script, they'd crash

 

yeah yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for information!
