Help me with some things

Hi guys i've been coding some minigames, and i was managing some events when i noticed something:

When i cancel an EntityDamageEvent, if a player gets shot by the arrow, the arrow ricochets and could possibly damage the arrow launcher.

Other thing is i want to prevent people from destroying soiled dirt. When someone jumps into soiled dirt, it transforms into normal dirt. How can i prevent this

 

For the arrow thing that sounds odd, and I'll have to look into that personally. Try rather than canceling it set the damage to 0 that way it's like they were hit, but not really.

For the dirt thing, this might be worth reading: https://forums.bukkit.org/threads/solved-prevent-farmland-trampling.100136/

Code:java

 public void damage(EntityDamageEvent e){
if (!(e.getCause() == DamageCause.PROJECTILE)) return;
if (!e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntity().getType().equals(EntityType.ARROW)) return;
 
e.setCancelled(true);
 
e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getEntity().setVelocity(new Vector(0, 0, 0));
 
//Make sure you import the bukkit version of the Vector class
//This will set the velocity to 0, 0, 0 so the arrow wont move after the damage event.
}

I hope this helped you out a little.

You could do what Nateb did, or you could just cancel the event and use e.getEntity().remove();

Also, Heirteir - EntityType can't equal a Material...
