Player Set health event?

Hey, I'm tired of some of my users just killing them selves to get full health, I've thought about making it where you loose money on death, but thats a little too hardcore for me, what I want is when you respawn, your health is at 1 or half a heart. Could anyone write up a small plugin that does that, or can help me write it, I did some LUA coding in garrysmod, heres a small little sketch of what I worked up, It's my first attempt at coding so be lenient .

Code:

import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerRespawnEvent;
public class PlayerRespawnEvent; //I have aboslutley no idea what this does, but I think i need it
Respawn respawn = PlayerRespawnEvent; //For simplicity?
if(Respawn)
{Player.sethealth(1)}; //Now i couldn't find the health set event So i just used a made up one , anyone can help on that?
//I realize the code is lacking alot, but this is my first time.

 

Gimme a couple hours and I can write something up for you (mostly because i gotta step away for a little bit). Once it's done i'll send you the source and the jar itself so you can see what's happening.

 

I'd help ya out, but I'm a hair busy. Here's the path you want to take:
Register a respawn event with a player listener.
Overwrite the onPlayerRespawn method to do this:
On the respawn event, do event.getPlayer();
Once you get the player object, simply do player.setHealth(1);

You were really close, actually.

 

Thanks so much, if its not too much trouble, could you put a few comments explaining what does what.

Even though hes making the plugin, I still want to learn.
Could you give me a example of a player listener?

yeah, no problem, it's not quite as straight forward as i assumed because for some reason it is not letting me set the health, or damage the user in the player respawn event.

 

Okay, thanks so much, just PM me the plugin with source once you got it all sorted out, once again thanks.

 

Maybe place the action in a delayed scheduler task? It's possible that there's a direct protection for x ticks whenever a player spawns.

 

thats a good idea, i'm going to look into that (i've never been good with threads lol).

Ok I just finished thanks to the suggestion by @DrBoweNur heres a link to the plugin itself (you can adjust how much health they spawn with in the config.yml, between 1 and 20 because of the half hearts), it only accepts integers, which is why it's 1 to 20, you could set it to 0 but then they would just be in a death loop...i digress). I will post the source in about 20-30 minutes once I comment it.

Thanks so much, and DrBoweNur too!

 

Ok here are the 3 classes (sorry for the way they look on pastebin, your best bet is to throw them into something like notepad++)

RespawnHealth.java
RespawnHealthPlayerListener.java
RespawnHealthRunnable.java

 

@wwsean08
Glad that worked!
I was still kind of shocked that no plugins like this has been made before, and I guess that that was the reason why. Oh well.

 

i just updated it (putting in the checks that i thought of while putting in the comments), so if you'd like to download the new version it's the same link

and @DrBoweNur a friend of mine reminded me that MultiInv did a similar thing (except it saves your health in each individual world), so i had that to go off of at least
