BeforeLivingEntityDamageEvent

Triggered right before a living entity is about to take damage. This event can be canceled to prevent the entity from taking damage.

Example

local initPos = spell.pos
spell:intercept({ "BeforeLivingEntityDamageEvent" }, function(evt) ---@cast evt BeforeLivingEntityDamageEvent
  local attacker = evt.damageSource.attacker
  if attacker and attacker.type.id == "zombie" and evt.entity.type.id == "villager" then
    spell.pos = evt.entity.pos
    spell:executeSilent("/particle minecraft:angry_villager ~ ~1 ~ 0.3 0.3 0.3 1 2 force")
    spell.pos = initPos
    return false -- Cancel the event
  end
  return true -- Allow damage to proceed
end)

while true do sleep(20) end -- Keep the spell active
