[TFS 1.1] The best way to damage player

[blisher]

As in thread, what is the best way to achieve this? I want to hit player once with ordinary physical damage. Removing hp, creating magic effect and bloodspot is a bit unconvenient. I haven't found method like damagePlayer(...). Is there such one?

doTargetCombatHealth can do this

bloodspot is a bit unconvenient

The problem with the function is that PHYSICAL damage what takes hp WILL put the bloodspot under the player.
Also there seems to no way to remove the default magic effects.

Maybe there is good way to do what you want with:
Combat() and combat:setParameter(key, value)

However I haven't done a single script with these functions.

What you could also do is make the custom damage system:
Make function damage() (Give parameters you want)
Then let it run trough formulas (armor, resistances, other effects)
If at the end of formulas some damage was passed over, compare player current health and the damage what passed over.
Finish up like this: player:addHealth(-damage)
Give effects if you want or items if you want something to appear under player.
