Food level not setting correctly

Hi guys. I have this code:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void ScaledHungerDepletion(FoodLevelChangeEvent e) {
        Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
        p.sendMessage("before: " + p.getFoodLevel());
 
        int before = p.getFoodLevel();
        p.setFoodLevel(before - 4);
 
        p.sendMessage("after: " + p.getFoodLevel());
    }  

And the output I should expect would be something like:

But instead, I'm getting this output, so it appears that the food level is not setting permanently:

I have no other plugins on the server.

 

jameskmonger Try cancelling the event, you set it in there, but since the event is never canceled, it will still run the code that it uses to change the food (I think )
or
Use the event's setFoodLevel() method

 

Great. Cancelling the event worked fine. Do you know how I can work out whether or not the net change in food levels is positive or negative? I don't want the effect to happen when a player eats, for obvious reasons

Don't bump more than once every 24 hours.

Check if the FoodLevelChangeEvent#getFoodLevel() is higher than the Player#getFoodLevel(), and if so, return.
