[Solved]Kill player by right clicking towards them with a Diamond Hoe

Hi I am trying to develop a plugin so that when you left click with a diamond it it kills the player or mob that you have left clicked towards, but I don't know how to make the killing code.

Please help me.

 

Just with the player do player.setHealth(0);

But isn't that if you already have the player specified?

Yes you would have to get the player your pointing at and then set his health to 0

 

Do you know how I would get the player I am looking at?

Umm, not really.

Ik how you can get the block on a interactevent.

Do you want him to die by clicking at a long distance? or just 1 block far?

cuz if thats so....

Code:

public void YourCode(PlayerInteractEntityEvent event){//gets the event which is called, in this case PlayerInteractEntityEvent
Entity e = event.getRightClicked();                      //gets the player/mob you right clicked
Material m = event.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType();//gets the caster's item in hand(for later use)
Player p = event.getPlayer();
if(m == Material.DIAMOND_HOE && p.hasPermission("putyour.permissionhere") ){//so, if the players iteminhand == a Diamond_Hoe and he has Your permission, Do this>>>
Location loc = e.getLocation(); //gets the location for later use
World w = loc.getWorld(); //gets the world for later use, loc and world are needed for lightning
w.strikeLightning(loc);//spawns some lightning , just for the cool effect, and kills the player
w.strikeLightning(loc);
w.strikeLightning(loc);
w.strikeLightning(loc);
w.strikeLightning(loc);
w.strikeLightning(loc);
w.strikeLightning(loc);
w.strikeLightning(loc);
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "Player....is ded");//sends a message to the caster
}else{//if none if this is happening>>>
p.sendMessage("There is no player there...you silly");// send a message that there is no player there
}
//There may be some faults in this code, writing it on my cellphone, but this is the basic code you need for your plugin :)

i have put down some basic text next to it for you to better understand it

I once made a class to abstract that code away. With it you can get the entity at any time, without an event. I think the original code was ripped off somewhere else.
