Making a hit critical

Is it possible to make it so when somebody attacks, it'll always be a crit? If so, how can I do it?

 

Critical hits deal a random amount of damage, up to 50% more, plus one heart.

So, whenever the player hits an entity, change the damage of the sword by using a formula like this:
(Sword Damage) *= (Random<1-50> / 100)

After that you can use a particle library or you can use packets and give the player the critical hit particle effect each time he or she hits.

I hope I helped, but there might be an easier way. Sorry, but I cannot post code because I do not know how to use packets yet.

 

Here's the code for playing a "Critical" effect, the last parameter in the packet constructor is the particle amount. I put 50.

Code:

double random = Math.random();
if (random < 0.37d) {
    random = 0.45d;
}
PacketPlayOutWorldParticles packet = new PacketPlayOutWorldParticles("crit", (float) player.getLocation().getX(), (float) player.getLocation().getY(), (float) player.getLocation().getZ(), (float) random, (float) 1, (float) random, (float) 0, 50);
for (Player p : plug.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
    ((CraftPlayer) p).getHandle().playerConnection.sendPacket(packet);
}

 

You could do this:

But I'm pretty sure theres a better way.

Code:java

        Random random = new Random();
                            int randomNum = random.nextInt(100) + 1;
                            if (randomNum <= 30) {
 
                             //do nothing
 
                                } else {
 
                                }
 
                            } else {
                            if (randomNum <= 20) {
                           //CRITICAL KILL PLAYER
 
                                } else {
 
                                }
 
                            } else {
                  if (randomNum <= 90) {
 
                    //do nothing
 
                        } else {
 
                        }
 
                            } else {
                  if (randomNum <= 60) {
 
                    //do nothing
 
                        } else {
 
                        }
                        giveXp(p, 0.1D);
                        giveZen(p, 15);
                  } else {
                  if (randomNum <= 10) {
 
                 //do nothing
 
                        } else {
 
                        }
 
                  }

 

With a particle burst of critical stars, maybe you could do:

Code:java

sender.getHealth() - ?;

Note* This is pseudo-code, replace the "?" with the amount you want to subtract.

I'm not quite sure, sorry if my method doesn't work!

 

MineStein Don't use that... use this:

Code:java

player.setHealth(player.getHealth() - x);

 

DrEinsteinium Thanks!
