Flinching

[detrs 1]

I'm extremely new to coding/scripting and I was wondering how you would go about making it flinch a mob? Like for the Holy Grail quest, the troll on the bridge. Any direction or help understanding it would be appreciated!

Thinking out loud, don't scold me if this isn't the purest way.
(Might also need to wait for start of tick, not sure)

When the health bar of NPC is not visible:

Retrieve the tile location of the NPC.
Attack NPC.
Use HitSplatListener to monitor when NPC is hit.
Walk 2 tiles away from NPC tile (+2 or -2 to npc.getX or Y, something like that) after hitting it

That sounds sorta what I was thinking, but I didnt know about hitsplatlistener. Don’t have to much experience with combat related things yet. I’ll give that a try and see if I can’t get it to flinch properly. Thank you, very helpful!
