How to kill a player and call playerdeathevent?

Hey guys, so I've done some experimenting with code, as well as a fair share of googling, and nothing helpful has turned up.

What I need to do is kill a player, and call a playerdeathevent. This is my code right now (No attempt at the death event because I'm not sure how to do it):

Code:java

 double healthLeft = ((Damageable) p).getHealth();
hit.damage(healthLeft, p); //p is the killer (a Player), and hit is the player who is being killed

This is (I think) causing a very weird glitch... It sets your health to 0, but you don't die. Instead, you are stuck in an invincible state (with no hearts), and every 1/10 of a second (roughly), the affected player will flinch, as if they were taking damage. It's not visible to other players. It also doesn't happen consistently, which is why I'm not sure this is the cause of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

AGuyWhoSkis full code please. If A kills B, then B is killed by A in the death event of A. This would trigger a death event for B, where it should be killing A because he killed B.

 

Here is the whole event:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onShoot(PlayerInteractEvent e) {
 
        if (!e.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_AIR) && !e.getAction().equals(Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)) return;
 
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        if (p.getItemInHand() == null) return;
        if (p.getItemInHand().getType() == null) return;
 
        if (p.getItemInHand().equals(Inv.gun)) {
            PlayerInventory inventory = p.getInventory();
 
            boolean containsBullet = false;
 
            for (ItemStack i : inventory.getContents()) {
                if (i == null || i.getType() == null) {
                    continue;
                }
 
                if (i.getType().equals(Inv.bullet.getType())) {
                    containsBullet = true;
             
                    if (i.getAmount() == 1) {
                        inventory.remove(i);
                    } else {
                        i.setAmount(i.getAmount() -1);
                    }
             
                    p.updateInventory();
                    break;
                }
            }
 
            if (!containsBullet) {
                //Volume of 0.66F means it can be heard a max of 10 blocks away
                p.getWorld().playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.CLICK, 0.66F, 2F);
                return;
            }
 
            Location observerPos = p.getEyeLocation();
            Vector3D observerDir = new Vector3D(observerPos.getDirection());
 
            Vector3D observerStart = new Vector3D(observerPos);
            Vector3D observerEnd = observerStart.add(observerDir.multiply(ATTACK_REACH));
 
            //Check if player has line of sight to any entity
            LivingEntity hit = null;
     
            for (LivingEntity target : p.getWorld().getLivingEntities()) {
                // Bounding box of the shooter
                Vector3D targetPos = new Vector3D(target.getLocation());
                Vector3D minimum = targetPos.add(-0.5, 0, -0.5);
                Vector3D maximum = targetPos.add(0.5, 1.67, 0.5);
 
                if (target != p && hasIntersection(observerStart, observerEnd, minimum, maximum)) {
             
                    BlockIterator bit = new BlockIterator(p, 200);
                    Block firstSolid = null;
                    while(bit.hasNext()) {
                        Block next = bit.next();
                 
                        if (!a.contains(next.getType())) {
                        //'a' is an arraylist which has a list of all nonsolid blocks
                            firstSolid = next;

You can modify the damage in the damage event. Just have damage dealt equal the the player's health. That will kill the player, calling the death event

 

AGuyWhoSkis ok to start of with a very simple solution, try setting the health to 0.

 

Normally this would work, but there needs to be a killer, specifically the person who shot the gun.

You can also use http://jd.bukkit.org/dev/apidocs/or...html#damage(double, org.bukkit.entity.Entity)

 

teej107 he does that already
AGuyWhoSkis try damaging with an absurd amount (like Short.MAX_VALUE)

 

I've tried Double.MAX_VALUE, it didn't fix it

 

AGuyWhoSkis my next bet is that you heal them somewhere else during the same tick. It causes that the entity is flagged dead, but the health to be > 0.0. That way their death will never be fully processed iirc.

 

EntityDamageByEntityEvent e = new EntityDamageByEntityEvent(final Entity damager, final Entity damagee, final DamageCause cause, final double damage);
Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(e);
Put that wherever you do damage to a player by another player.

 

You were right. I had a duplicate interactevent listener which was messing with it. Thanks

Edit: Ok, apparantly not a 100% fix. This does make the playerdeathevent work, though. I still have the damage glitch unfortunately.

Edit2: So I changed the 'force-gamemode' setting to false. That fixed it for some reason. Weird.
