Solved Cancel Death Event and get Killer

Hey Guys,
I am programming a plugin for a minigame. When someone is killed i want him to be teleported back to the Lobby without the respawn-screen (cancel Death Event?) and i want to get his killer for rewarding him. I don't know what kind of Events I must use (PlayerDeathEvent, EntityDamageEvent, ...) and how to cancel the death.

You can't cancel PlayerDeathEvent. You would need to listen for EntityDamageByEntityEvent, do player checks, and check if the player.getHealth() - event.getDamage() < 1, cancel the event and then teleport them.

Thx, it worked (I am so noob )

 

chasechocolate Just curious. How do you cancel the death event? I can't find a setCancelled boolean on PlayerDeathEvent.
Domi381 Will you post your code?

 

Oh lol I meant you *can't cancel PlayerDeathEvent. Thanks for pointing that out :3

 

chasechocolate Np. I ran this code:

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
        if(p.getHealth() < 1) {
            e.setCancelled(true);
            p.teleport(p.getWorld().getSpawnLocation());

But players still get the respawn screen. Do you know why?

 

Compressions You should do some checks before casting to player. But try using if(p.getHealth() - e.getDamage() < 1).

 

chasechocolate Solved . What does - represent?

 

Compressions sorry, I meant for it to mean subtract (should have put –).

 

chasechocolate It worked, but there's a stack trace. What went wrong?

chasechocolate Okay. In investigated the error, and it seems it happens when I spawn a mob with /spawnmob. However, the error is from EntityDamageByEntityEvent from my plugin. I don't understand 0.o

EDIT: chasechocolate Found the issue. How would I cast the player in this case? That is the problem, and this is what I have.

Code:java

        Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();

How would I fix this? Thanks

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

 

Try using, if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player){ and check if that'd work.

 

kreashenz Didn't work :/ I'll try again.

 

Compressions Thats my code, dude:

Code:

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.NORMAL)
    public void PlayerDamageReceive(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
            Player damaged = (Player) e.getEntity();
         
            if(e.getDamager() instanceof Player) {
                Player damager = (Player) e.getDamager();
             
                if(damaged.getWorld().getName() == plugin.worldname) {
                    if((damaged.getHealth()-e.getDamage()) <= 0) {
                     
                        //Killed
                        e.setCancelled(true);
                        damaged.teleport(plugin.spawn); // <---- plugin.spawn is the spawn-location that is defined in the main class.
                        damaged.setHealth(20);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
