i cant seem to figure it out, but spells like missle, or arrow_light, or wave, are breaking blocks and doing the abilities, but not doing any damage to mobs or players, ive been looking forever to see if i can figure it out, but havent had any luck. do you know by chance what im missing?

example of a spell. all these spells were working before at one point and then stopped recently

Strange, normally that'd be from some PvP issue- but they don't hurt mobs either?

Could you please try doing /mage debug 20 to turn on debug logs in chat, try a simple spell like wound and see what it says?

yea so it says it did damage, but it actually doesnt

im pretty stumped

I'm stumped too- does it happen with Wound as well? That one does physical damage.. most spells use "magic" damage so if you had some plugin blocking thrown potions for some reason that might do it.

To be clear, testing with Wound would help since if that one works then we know it's a problem with thrown potion damage specifically.

ok so wound does do damage. when used,

Ah ok well that's interesting news at least!

I can think of two possibilities then

1. Something on your server is blocking thrown potions- try a splash potion of harm, just vanilla, throw it at something? Could be anti-cheat or some kind of protection / pvp plugin maybe?

2. Maybe anti-cheat blocking damaging from a distance? Does magic missile work at very short range?

Another approach to take is, was this working at some point in the past? What changed between then and now? (Updated the plugin, server, added/removed plugins, etc)

you were right, i turned off all the anti cheats, and it worked, so ive figured out which ones are fine and everything is working again.

you are the best! lol i thought i checked to make sure they all would work, but part of the corex built into the factions plugin that updated was what it was. thanks for all your help.

You're welcome!

ok i will check with wound here in a bit, sorry was at work today.
