poison a entity

Is it possible to poison or ignit an entity? and how?

 

easy spacemoehre <entity>.addPotionEffect(YourPotionEffect);

 

TheCodingCat in my EntityDamageEntityEvent, is this not availeble for e.getDanager()....

 

Code:java

public void poisonEntity(LivingEntity entity) {
    if (!entity.addPotionEffect(PotionEffect.POISON) && entity instanceof Player)) {
        ((Player) entity).sendMessage("You couldn't be poisoned!");
    }
}

or

Code:java

public void igniteEntity(Entity entity) {
    entity.setFireTicks(600); // 30 seconds
}

 

then do
e.getEntity().getLastDamager()

You mean EntityDamageByEntityEvent?

EntityDamageByEntityEvent#getDamager returns an Entity. However, you cannot add potion effects to entities. Check if the Entity is an instance of a LivingEntity. If it is, cast it, then add the potion effect.

 

FerusGrim tried it but PotionEffect.POISON cannot be resolved (just copied your method)

TheCodingCat e.getEntity().getLastDamager() does not exists

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Sorry, try:

Code:java

 
addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 40, 1));

 

sorry my bad. I'm on stupid phone Use
if (e.getLastDamageCause().equals(DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK))
then get last damager

 

FerusGrim what are these numbers used for?

 

I refuse to answer a question like this when a single glance at the JavaDocs will answer it for you.
