Simulate Player Death by Player

Alright so my goal is to set the players gamemode to creative when he dies by player damage.

For some reason this EDBE event isn't working properly, is there something wrong?

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e){
        if (e.getDamager() instanceof Player &&
                e.getEntity() instanceof Player){
            Player p = (Player)e.getEntity();
            if(e.getDamage() >= p.getHealth()){
                e.setCancelled(true);
                PlayerDeath.death(p);
            }
        }
}

And I've got the player being killed by himself.

Code:java

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("kill")){
Player p = (Player) sender;
p.damage(20, p);
return true;
}

 

RAFA_GATO_FOFO Couldn't you just use the PlayerDeathEvent? Or do you want to make it so that they don't actually die?

I want to prevent death yes.

 

RAFA_GATO_FOFO
Using if(e.getDamage() >= p.getHealth()) isn't the correct logic. Try using
if(p.getHealth()-e.getDamage() <= 0)

 

RAFA_GATO_FOFO
You could use PacketPlayInClientCommand and use the PerformRespawn enum

 

Esophose
Why not? I've changed it to what you posted but when using /kill I just die regardless.

 

RAFA_GATO_FOFO
Use the packets that I mentioned above, which will cancel the respawn screen and upon respawn, teleport them to their prior location and set their gamemode to createive

 

RAFA_GATO_FOFO
When using /kill it will kill you no matter what, from what I know there isn't any way to stop that. The code I gave you will work if the player is killed by any sort of entity. If you want you could try just using a EntityDamageEvent instead of the EntityDamageByEntityEvent

 

Esophose Those two do exactly the same

 

The EntityDamageEvent will detect other sorts of damage such as Lava, drowning, suffocation, falling, and cactus. The EntityDamageByEntityEvent doesn't detect those, it only detects damage inflicted by Entities.

 

Esophose Surely you could effectively stop /kill from killing you by making your own command? Failing that, CommandPreProcessEvent

 

AdamQpzm Yes CommandPreProcessEvent would probably be the best way to do this.
Check if the command was /kill, then cancel and do the code you want in there.

 

I have my own kill command which simulates me killing myself.

 

what about disabling or replacing kill command with your own implementation that properly handle your custom death?

 

That's what I did:

Code:java

if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("heykillme")){
Player p = (Player) sender;
p.damage(20, p);
return true;
}

This command is just supposed to replicate/simulate a player death by player in order to test the event.

 

Esophose Sorry for the confusion. I was talking about your previous post

Override the I function in Entityplayer and just remove the sending of the packet that tells clients that you died.

 

there is no such packet, client will render death screen if entity HP drop below 1.

if you cancel state change packet, client will be kicked for flying if attempt to move around dead (tested long ago, may be different currently)

 

RawCode
I am only talking about iterating through the scoreboard.

 

Sorry I haven't been able to reply sooner. Does my kill command (in the comment above) not work properly simulating a player death by player or is it the event?

 

check event and command and answer your question yourself.

since you provided no debug trace and does not explained what you want - there is no way to answer your question for anyone expect you.

 

RawCode
I've asked you multiple times not to reply to my threads. You're a terrible example of how this community works and personally, I hate you.

 

RAFA_GATO_FOFO While you may hate him, he provides valid and useful help (most of the time ). Debug and see if your command is firing the event.
If you really have to, look through source of CB and see if the event is fired when the method is called.
