Mobs are still alive at 0 HP?

For SOME reason, when I set a mob's HP to 0, it's still alive.

Code:

                    e.setHealth(0);
                    manager.getServer().broadcastMessage("" + e.getHealth());

It broadcasted as 0 hp too.

 

@redside100 Just wait. Wait and endure the loooong tick that the game has to do in order to do updates.

 

@teej107 No.... what's really weird is that the mob dies if I run the code a second time.

 

@redside100 Show more code.

 

@teej107 Ok, so I found out that this only occurs if the mob is wearing armor. If the mob isn't, then it automatically dies. Is this a bug?

Code:

                if (currentHP - hp <= 0){
                    e.setHealth(0);
                    mobhp.remove(mob);
                    mobmaxhp.remove(mob);
                    mobdef.remove(mob);
                    manager.getServer().broadcastMessage("" + e.getHealth());
                    manager.getServer().broadcastMessage("" + mobhp.size());
                    if (name.contains("Zombie")){
                        mob.setCustomName("§cZombie §6[0] [0%]");
                    }
                    if (name.contains("Skeleton")){
                        mob.setCustomName("§cSkeleton §6[0] [0%]");
                    }
                    if (name.contains("Seeker")){
                        mob.setCustomName("§cSeeker §6[0] [0%]");
                    }
                    if (name.contains("Sharpshooter")){
                        mob.setCustomName("§cSharpshooter §6[0] [0%]");
                    }
                    if (name.contains("Commander")){
                        mob.setCustomName("§cCommander §6[0] [0%]");
                    }
                    return;
                }

How I spawned the zombie:

Code:

                                    Zombie zombie1 = (Zombie) p.getWorld().spawn(p.getLocation(), Zombie.class);
                                    zombie1.setBaby(false);
                                    zombie1.setVillager(false);
                                    if (zombie1.isInsideVehicle()){
                                        Entity chicken = zombie1.getVehicle();
                                        zombie1.getVehicle().eject();
                                        if (chicken instanceof Creature){
                                            Creature chicken1 = (Creature) chicken;
                                            chicken1.setHealth(0);
                                        }
                                    }
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setHelmet(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_HELMET));
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setChestplate(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_CHESTPLATE));
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setLeggings(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_LEGGINGS));
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setBoots(new ItemStack(Material.IRON_BOOTS));
                                    ItemStack sword = new ItemStack(Material.IRON_SWORD, 1);
                                    sword.addEnchantment(Enchantment.DAMAGE_ALL, 1);
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setItemInHand(new ItemStack(sword));
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setItemInHandDropChance(0F);
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setHelmetDropChance(0F);
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setChestplateDropChance(0F);
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setLeggingsDropChance(0F);
                                    zombie1.getEquipment().setBootsDropChance(0F);
                                    Entity ent2 = (Entity) zombie1;
                                    Creature creature = (Creature) ent2;
                                    hpmanager.addMob(ent2, hp, hp, def);
                                    manager.setCustomName(creature, "Commander");

Strange... this kills skeletons with armor, but not zombies.

EDIT by Timtower: merged posts

 

@redside100 try setting the health to -1, if that works.

EDIT: also, looking at the code example, you set his health to 0 only if his health is lower or equal to 0?

 

You can only set a mob's health anywhere from 0 to 20. Also, the (currentHP - hp) thing is for customHP, not its actual health.

 

@redside100 Oh, I see.

 

@redside100 I would say go look for some method to despawn entities in craftbukkit, but oh wait.... you can't.

 

@redside100 Why are you using the deprecated integer method instead of the one that takes a double?

 

You're saying I should do e.setHealth(0D)?

 

Can't you add an instant_dmg potion effect right after ? ^^

 

@redside100
What is "e"?

 

@Hawktasard probably his stored entity.
