Help w/ effects

[MightyAvocado]

First of all, what is the code for giving a player an effect that actually work? Ik how to make custom effects that don’t do anything.

And also, I came across a custom game that has it where you get an effect when you are holding an item. Anyone know how to do that?

To give a player an effect that actually works just use the correct effect name, and the inbuiltLevel you want the Effect to have.
This code will give you the Effect Damage Reduction, when you're holding a diamond sword:

/* World Code */
function tick()
{
	for (id of api.getPlayerIds())
	{
		if(api.getHeldItem(id) && api.getHeldItem(id).name == "Diamond Sword")
		{
			api.applyEffect(id, "Damage Reduction", null, {inbuiltLevel: 2});
		}
		else
		{
			api.removeEffect(id, "Damage Reduction");
		}
	}
}

I hope that helps you!

It keeps saying ApplyEffect isn’t working

What's the Effect name you're using?

[MightyAvocado]

Strength

Well - the strength effect is called 'Damage' in bloxd. So, use this instead of Strength and it should function.

if you don't want to waste your time changing the ID use this: api.applyEffect(myId, "Speed", null, {inbuiltLevel: 1})
