Solved Snowball Damage

So how would I make a snowball do damage to a player. I tried this, but it didnt work. How would i fix it?

Code:java

        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        @EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
        public void onSnowBall(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event)
        {
        if(event.getCause() == DamageCause.PROJECTILE){
            if(event.getDamager() instanceof Snowball){
                if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player){
                    event.setDamage(2);

 

Maybe a newbie question, is a Snowball an entity ?

Just made this, let me know when it doesn't work.

Code:java

package me.comexpert.help;
 
import org.bukkit.entity.*;
import org.bukkit.event.*;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.*;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.*;
 
public class Help extends JavaPlugin {
 
    @EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
    public void onSnowBall(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
 
        if(event.getDamager() instanceof Snowball && event.getEntity() instanceof Player){
            Player player = (Player) event.getEntity();
            player.setHealth(player.getHealth()-2);
        }
    }
}

C0mExpert On player.getHealth()-2); there is an error on .getHealth that is 'The method getHealth() is ambiguous for the type Player'

C0mExpert Ok so I figured it out. Where you have

Code:java

player.setHealth(player.getHealth()-2);

I replaced it with

Code:java

player.damage(2);
 

And now it works. So it is this all together

Code:java

 @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
public void onSnowBall(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
 
if(event.getDamager() instanceof Snowball && event.getEntity() instanceof Player){
Player player = (Player) event.getEntity();
player.damage(2);
}
}

Also thanks for the help!

Why not use ProjectileHitEvent ?
