Cancelling PlayerDamageEvent on two different plugins

Hey all,

Say I have two different plugins, A and B, which both have a listener for PlayerDamageEvent. Plugin A has an EventPriority of LOW and Plugin B has an EventPriority of HIGH. This means that plugin A's eventhandler will run before plugin B's I believe.

I want plugin A to have it's eventhandler run and do its thing (say for example it sets the damage to 10), but after A has finished, I would like to choose whether plugin B's PlayerDamageEvent handler will run. Calling event.setCancelled(true) in Plugin A will cancel the event altogether I believe (player won't take any damage at all).

Is there a way to do this by any chance or any suggestions to do this? Thanks!

 

@OshaGoro You just have to not do anything if it's cancelled. I believe this can be achieved by two ways.
1. Set "ignoreCancelled" to "true" in your EventHandler annotation.
2. Return if the event is cancelled by checking for Cancellable#isCancelled().

I've never tested it but, i'd think it's the other way around. Higher priority means it runs first.

EventPriority.HIGHEST has the last word on an event.


When, you cancel an event, bukkit will keep testing others plugins with this event, it's why u can add in parameter to @eventHandler, 'ignoreCancelled'.

You can use event.isCancelled() for see if an another plugin has cancelled it, then use a condition for see if you run your code or not.
