Solved How to prevent fall damage

So I am making a simple plugin that allows users to fly but takes away flight on damage. My problem is I would like to prevent them from taking fall damage after they are knocked out of fly but I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

 

With the Player object, you can call the setFallDistance method. Set it to negative five hundred or whatever.

 

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDamage(final EntityDamageEvent e){
if(e.getCause() == DamageCause.FALL){
e.setCancelled(true);
}
}

He would have to make some List of falling players and check if the List contains that player, then cancel the event. My way is probably easier.

Why would he have to do that?

The EntityDamageEvent is called per entity when they take damage, check if the entity is an instance of a Player then cast that entity to a Player and you should be all set to cancel the Fall Damage. I've done it this way before and it worked.

Did you read what he asked?

He wants to stop flying when the player gets damaged but doesn't want them to take damage when they hit the ground.

Ah I see. I usually just skim through these.

 

Thanks for the quick reply The_Doctor_123 I tried the set fall distance thing but I was setting to 1 or 0 and it didn't stop the fall damage. Here is the code if you see that I am doing something wrong please let me know.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDamage(EntityDamageEvent e) {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
            Player player = (Player) e.getEntity();
            if (player.isFlying() || player.getAllowFlight()) {
                player.setFlying(false);
                player.setAllowFlight(false);
                player.setFallDistance(0);
                player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED
                        + "Flying forced off by damage");
        }

I just tried setting it to -5 instead of 0 just to see and it didn't fix it either.

Set it to -500.

 

The_Doctor_123 Tried that still taking fall damage

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I am still unable to figure this out : /

Javadocs are great! http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/apidocs/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.html#FALL

 

drtshock Hmm thanks for the link. I would like to play around with this but it seems I can't even connect to my local server atm because my account can't authenticate or something. I tried setting it to online mode to false but it just reset to true when I run the server?

Could you post your updated code? Thank you
