Backstabbing Players

Hey guys, So I was making an Assassin kit for my KitPvP server.
And I would like to make you insta-kill someone if you him him with shears in the back.
This is my code currently:

Thanks in advance!

 

I would do p.setHealth(0.0) personally, the rest looks good to me.

 

@Eller
What your problem was, was that you were checking if the damagee had the shears.
You want to check if damager had the shears so quick fix.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onBackstab(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player && e.getDamager() instanceof Player){
            Player d = (Player) e.getDamager();
            Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
                // this below was p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.SHEARS
                // need to be what it is now
                if(d.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.SHEARS){
                    if(p.getLocation().getYaw() > d.getLocation().getYaw()-40 && p.getLocation().getYaw() < d.getLocation().getYaw()+40){
                        p.setHealth(0);
                    }
                }
        }
    }

If this solved your problem than don't forget to set this thread prefix to [Solved]

You should use the vectors of both players to see if they are pointing the same direction.
