Remove arrow after hit

Hi,

I want to remove arrows which hit a player so that they don't stick into the player.
(because this reveals invisible players).

I tried to use the EntityDamageByEntityEvent:

Code:java

if (event.getDamager() instanceof Projectile)
{
((Projectile)event.getDamager()).remove();
}

but this is not working.

 

check if it is an instanceof Arrow, and then do ((Arrow)event.getDamager()).remove();

 

This doesn't work either :-(

 

ProjectileHitEvent?

 

I tried this as well a few minutes ago and just removed event.getEntity() on every ProjectileHitEvent but this didn't do anything.

PS: I didn't forget to put @EventHandler before the event handler. I did some broadcasts at those events and they worked so the events themselves worked fine.

 

to me, this should work but ive been testing for like 20 minutes now and it doesnt work like it should

but maybe someone can figure it out

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void blah(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
   
   if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player){
   
   if(event.getDamager() instanceof Arrow){
   
   Arrow arrow = (Arrow) event.getDamager();
   
   arrow.remove();
   
   }
   }
    }

 

try broadcasting the EntityTypes

Code:java

Bukkit.broadcastMessage(event.getEntity().getType().name());
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(event.getDamager().getType().name());

 

PLAYER
ARROW

But why should this change the behaviour of the code above?

 

Cjreek then you know that the entities are what you expect ;3

 

Ok^^ Trying this before posting here goes without saying for me
That's why I was a little bit confused.

 

Sorry about digging up an old thread but I am also looking for a method of getting rid of arrows in a player body.
