Solved How to hit a hidden player

Hello. I'm trying to hide a player, but it doesn't work. The player is still visible

Code:

Player p = Bukkit.getPlayer(nick);
Player hidep = Bukkit.getPlayer(playerToHide);

p.hidePlayer(hidep);
hidep.setMetadata("hidden", new FixedMetadataValue(this, true));

Everything else in the code is working and doesn't affect this issue so I see no reason to post it..
I tried to do it without metadata too and it didn't change anything.

 

Where is this piece of code coming from , I mean where u use it?
And to globally hide a player loop through all players and loopplayr.hideayer(target);

 

It's in the end of minigame's countdown schedule, but it's run only when the time is 0, so only once.

Oh.. I used TagAPI'a refresh after hiding a player... *palmface* Nevermind..

But here's another question!
How to hit a player when he's hidden. My idea is to check that the player hit the air and if there was a hidden player in there, hit him, but it looks a bit complicated. Maybe there's an easier way?

@CodePlaysMinecraft When I was writing the 2nd problem I also changed the topic of the thread, so I can't mark this thread as solved because the problem is not solved.

 

I did it! yay. I used ProtocolLib and some of this code. Works perfect. Thanks for help everyone.
