EntityDamageByEntityEvent Help

So I am making a PvPLogger plugin, and I need a way to account for an instance where a player is attacked, but no damage is done.

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onPvP(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e)
    {
 
        if(!(e.getEntity() instanceof Player))return;
        if(!(e.getDamager() instanceof Player))return;
 
        final Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
        final Player t = (Player) e.getDamager();
 
        if(!combatList.contains(t.getName())){
 
            t.sendMessage("§f[§bRadical§7Tag§f]§b "+"You are now in combat§f!");
 
        }
 
        if(!combatList.contains(p.getName())){
 
            p.sendMessage("§f[§bRadical§7Tag§f]§b "+"You are now in combat§f!");
 
        }
 
        combatList.add(p.getName());
        combatList.add(t.getName());
 
        new BukkitRunnable(){
 
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
 
                combatList.remove(p.getName());
                combatList.remove(t.getName());
 
                if(!combatList.contains(t.getName())){
 
                    t.sendMessage("§f[§bRadical§7Tag§f]§c "+"You are no longer in combat§f!");
 
                }
 
                if(!combatList.contains(p.getName()))
                {
 
                    p.sendMessage("§f[§bRadical§7Tag§f]§c "+"You are no longer in combat§f!");
 
                }
 
            }
 
        }.runTaskLater(plugin, 10 * 20L);
        return;
 
    }

Thanks :>

I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but you could check for individual entities. For example if you wanted to check if a player got hit by a snowball..

Code:java

@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.HIGHEST)
public void onEntityDamageByEntity(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
    Entity entity = event.getDamager();
    if (entity instanceof Snowball) {
    //do stuff here
    }
}

Thank you, however I don't think you understood me. With plugins like WorldGuard, you can have pvp free regions. In these regions, if you attack a player it will still act as if you did damage. I am looking to have a return statement if no damage is dealt.

 

I'm not in front of Eclipse right now but...

Code:java

if (p.health == 20) {
return null;
}

Yeah.. that works... but what if a player walks into a pvp free zone without having 20 health?
Thank you though :>

 

I'm not sure on how to hook into world guard...

 

Maybe use => 20 health?

 

Not possible. The player has a maximum 20 health. Each heart is 2.

I would like to check if a player receives no damage and the event is triggered. Do you know of a way to do that?

 

Yes, But you can change the max health of a player.

Maybe do this?
if(!e.isCancelled()){
//rest of code
}

 

Use This code, but put it in a method, like:

Code:java

public boolean checkHealth() {
    if (p.health == 20) {
        return false;
    }
}
 

Then, in your listener call the method

Please use
[syntax=java]
It helps

its 2 lines of code. rather not

That code checks if the event wasn't cancelled. Isn't that pointless? Please tell me if I am missing something.

 

If I'm thinking correctly. WorldGuard cancels the event.. for worldguard, Not your plugin. So if you do that I'm pretty sure it checks if any plugins have cancelled the event before looking at your code any further. Idk, my current project is all 100% custom made.

 

I don't think you understand events. Or, frankly, the

Code:java

!

We're talking about if the player enters a pvp free zone. We aren't checking for events happening in world guard.

Btw,

Code:java

 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPvP(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e){
   if(e.getDamage() == 0)return;
    }

If WorldGuard does cancel the event, wouldn't it mean that it shouldn't run the event at all?

Nope.. that was the first thing I tried...

I can't find any information on how cancelling events works. Why not try it?

 

RealmsofValendor
I will give that a shot. Thanks for the help :>
