Take more damage from bees - Coding help

[Kiibie]

Hello! I've been modding a character that is allergic to bees and I have set him to lose sanity around them, but I'm looking for a way that he could take WAY more damage when hit by them! Here's a thing I tried:

local function onhit(inst)
     if target:HasTag("bee") then 
	inst.components.health:SetAbsorptionAmount(-3)
         else
	inst.components.health:SetAbsorptionAmount(0.4)
end
end

I thought it'd be fairly easy, but as I am very new to coding, I don't know how to proceed for this one.  I tried to change his defense upon a hit, but I feel this is wrong as it does not work.

Does anyone have an idea how this works?

[. . .]

maybe this work, put in modmain.lua

Spoiler

local Character = "YOURCHARACTERPREFABNAMEHERE"
local Damage_Mult = 2 -- double damage
AddComponentPostInit("combat",function(inst)
    if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
        return
    end
    local oldbonusdamagefn = inst.bonusdamagefn
    inst.bonusdamagefn = function(attacker, target, damage, weapon)
        local bonus = 0
        if oldbonusdamagefn then
            bonus = oldbonusdamagefn(attacker, target, damage, weapon) or 0
        end
        if target.prefab == Character and (attacker:HasTag("bee")) then
            bonus = bonus - (damage + bonus) * Damage_Mult
        end
        return bonus
    end
end)

@SuperDavid  It works, but the bee restores my life when it hits me! X'D 

I changed the "2" for a "-4" and it now works just fine! Thanks a bunch for this!! I would've never figured out by myself c':

@SuperDavid I'm actually wondering if it's possible to make my character Groggy for a set amount of time when stung by a bee. OR even better, groggy until he heals himself with a healing salve or use an adrenaline shot. Would you happen to know how? I had made a character that got groggy under 30 of hunger, with that code: 

if inst.components.hunger.current >= (0) and inst.components.hunger.current < (30) then
			if inst:HasTag("groggy") then return
		else
			inst:AddTag("groggy")
    		inst.components.locomotor:SetExternalSpeedMultiplier(inst, "grogginess", 0.6)

This could somehow be written to when the character gets stung?
