Solved If player is BLOCKING, disable all incoming damage to that player

Hi everyone. I've been trying to check whether or not a player is blocking (with a sword) when the player receives damage. Here's what I've currently come up with:

Code:

    public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
        if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player){
            Player blockingplayer = (Player) event.getEntity();
            if(blockingplayer.isBlocking() == true){
                event.setCancelled(true);
                blockingplayer.sendMessage("You blocked all incoming damage.");
 
            }
        }
    }

...which doesn't appear to work at all. Any ideas?

 

Try using the bukkit logger to debug where its going wrong

 

Did you register the event. We do get quite a lot of people forgetting to do so.

 

I have:

Code:

public class MyPlugin extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
...

Is that what you mean?

 

In onEnable() put getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

Google and read a wiki every now and then, the amount of times this has been answered is ridiculous.

 

Oh, right! I've already had:

Code:

    public void onEnable(){
...
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }

Before testing. I suppose I have registered the events, then. Any ideas?

 

Did you annotate the event handlers?

 

You don't have @EventHandler.

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
        if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player){
            Player blockingplayer = (Player) event.getEntity();
            if(blockingplayer.isBlocking() == true){
                event.setCancelled(true);
                blockingplayer.sendMessage("You blocked all incoming damage.");
 
            }
        }
    }

That should make it work.

 

Oh wow. I am face-palming myself so hard right now. Thanks so much for the help!
