Solved How to give ENTITY_ATTACK damage to an entity?

I am trying to deal some damage to an entity when they right click with sulphur(gunpowder) and I don't know how to get it to work. This is my current code:

Code:

Entity cow = (Cow) e.getRightClicked();
if(e.getRightClicked() instanceof Entity) {
    if(damageAnimals) {
        if(e.getRightClicked() == cow) {
            // give the cow the damage cause of ENTITY_ATTACK?
        }
    }
}

 

e.damage(double);
e.setLastDamageCause(DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK);

 

here is all my code, because it is not allowing me to use the damage method:

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onDamageEntity(PlayerInteractEntityEvent e) {
    boolean damageAnimals = plugin.getConfig().getBoolean("damage-animals", true);
    boolean damageMonsters = plugin.getConfig().getBoolean("damage-monsters", true);
    boolean damagePlayers = plugin.getConfig().getBoolean("damage-players", true);
 
    Player p = e.getPlayer();
 
    Entity cow = (Cow) e.getRightClicked();
    //Entity chicken = (Chicken) e.getRightClicked();
    if(e.getRightClicked() instanceof Entity) {
        if(damageAnimals) {
            if(e.getRightClicked() == cow) {
               
            }
        } else if(damageMonsters) {
           
        } else if(damagePlayers) {
           
        }
    }
}

 

Well first you have a few problems. Your assigning the right clicked Entity before you even know what it is.
You need to check first.

Code:

if(e.getRightClicked() instanceof Cow){
Cow cow = (Cow) e.getRightClicked();
 
if(damageAnimals){
cow.damage(10);
cow.setLastDamageCause(DamageCause.ENTITY_ATTACK);
  }
 
}

Also make sure the boolean is properly defined and was retrieved correctly. I suggest some debug messages.

 

I got it. I did:

Code:

cow.damage(1, p) //Player p;

Thanks for the help
