Hi!
Is it possible to make a certain player invulnerable, so that they do not take any damage anymore and can not die?

And how?

Edit:
I have already tried to set the armor group immortal=1 by this code:


The player is at least still vulnerable to fall damage, which is of course not a complete solution.

Giving 20 HP every second or so is a decent solution, as well as using the immortal group, but this doesn't guard against instantly-killing damage sources (like Map Tools' kill blocks).

No, this is not a good solution. The player is just less vulnerable, not invulnerable. As you said, this has holes. It’s just a hack.

I noticed that the “immortal” group has a lot of holes, actually. The immortal group does not protect from fall damage, it does not protect from set_hp, it does not protect from drowning damage, it does not protect from damage_per_second nodes (i.e. lava). It seems the only thing it protects from is damage from punches.

What I might really want would be a switch to turn off all health manipulations for a certain player. Or something like that.

What if a player kept healing itself and revive (instantly at the same place?)

you can just disable damage before starting to play

It is not possible to close the death screen without client intervention.

What Wuzzy wants is an individual damage setting, per-player.

inb4 the rise of the "airsuit", an armor on par with the sword of that same material.

Bummer. So it seams that Minetest does not allow for this right now. Well, I guess I have to go with the hack for now. :(

download 3d armor mod and make it unbreakable and super defensefull i tested this out with diamond armor i shooted an golden arrow from a bow (throwing mod) up in the air and it done no damage when it faled on me but when i wast wearing diamond armour it dealth me 5 half hearts of damage armour also protects from mobs plus looks cool to just wear a full diamond set or even code it up to even stronger than it was

@davidthecreator
Good idea ! lord of the test has already an unbreakable armor if you want try :)
