[SOLVED] checking and disabling drops?

If I wanted to stop a zombie from dropping flesh, what would I do? I really HATE posting here. It makes me feel dumb. xD

Anyway, I'm thinking of having it check for a zombie death and cancelling the drop so I can add a custom drop. Any suggestions?

 

@Jakeob22
What you want to do is on the on death event get the drops and remove the rotten flesh

This one will make no sense to you unless you have an understanding of objects. Although I have not tested if this actually works.

Code:

public class ZombieListener extends EntityListener {

    @Override
    public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent event) {
        if (event.getEntity() instanceof Zombie) {
            final Iterator<ItemStack> iter = event.getDrops().iterator();
            while (iter.hasNext()){
                if (iter.next().getType().equals(Material.ROTTEN_FLESH)){
                    iter.remove();
                }
            }
        } else {
            return;
        }
    }
}

 

What if I just wanted to cancel anything that any mob drops? Is there a way to just say:
"onDrop (DropEvent event) {
event.setCancelled(true);
}"
And then replace what it drops what I set somehow? I'm sure there's an easier way to cancel a drop than the one you gave me, but I'll try it.

I still need help.

Actually, I think I can get it to stop spawning. Lets just say I wanted them to drop a stone block, rather than flesh.(ID = 1), how would I do that?

You can find out which events exist and are cancelable here http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/

and for an item stack you can see what methods it has here: http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/

 

Check the Mob Drops plugin in my sig if you want to see some more code, but basically in the onEntityDeath method you do this:

Code:

event.getDrops().clear();
event.getDrops().add(new ItemStack(Material.STONE));

 

Thanks!!! That solved it.
