Bit stuck Could use some help

I know this will sound stupid but, How do you

make an announcement to the whole server upon a players death?

saying " Player Name " Died " Reason "
im just very confused about how to do this.

is it just a simple Printlineevent tied to playernames? or something else.

help would be appreciated

 

use:

Code:

theServer.broadcastMessage("some message");

(replace 'theServer' with a reference to the server)

 

Dont i have to use any Damage Events? so the plugin knows which player died?

and with reference to the server you mean

The servers name like MYServer or MCGC? Man i need coffee my brains not working properly right now.
if you arent busy could you possibly help me out? just want a simple plugin that announces a Players death.

i.e grimreaper160490 was blown away by a creeper / grimreaper160490 fell to his death!!

if you could PM me your msn or Ill contect you though PM.

cheers sorry i am New to Java Plugin Development i mean werent we all?

 

Code:

public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event)
{
    event.getPlayer().getServer().broadcastMessage(event.getPlayer().getName()+ " has died");
}

 

Thank You Edward!

Much appreciated

After i placed that code into the Playerlistener? Class
GetPlayer is underlined error saying GetPlayer() is undefined in entity damage so what variable or constructor need i build for getplayer?

Sorry again but your a great help!
Btw im from england to whereabouts your from?

 

Oops. I guess that's what happens when you try coding 5 minutes after you wake up. Here is a corrected version:

Code:

public class myListener extends EntityListener
{
    public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent event)
    {
        if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player)
        {
            Player player = (Player)event.getEntity();
            player.getServer().broadcastMessage(player.getName()+" has died")
        }
    }
}

(and I'm from England too)
