how do i check if a player takes damage?

[manic mesa]

it's alright

[manic mesa]

sorry if that seemed rude

it was just like 🥲

[glass lake]

Oh no dont worry

[languid oar]

not really sure how to check if the player takes damage or if the player does damage

so far ive made a event handler

import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageEvent;

public class GodMode implements Listener {
    public GodMode(Main plugin){
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, plugin);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDamage(EntityDamageEvent event){
        
    }
}

[manic mesa]

That checks if entity took damage, EntityDamageByEntityEvent you can get the entity that took damage and the entity that gave damage

and to get player u can check if entity is instance of a player than u cast it

eg Player p = (Player) entity

[languid oar]

ty for the help but ive decided to do thos another way

i want to make a boolean and if the player runs the command the boolean will be set to true

and the plugin will keep on checking if its true and when it is true itll make the player not be able to take damage or cause damage

[languid oar]

not sure how im gonna do this part though

[manic mesa]

I wouldn't know the most efficient way

[manic mesa]

but i would make a list of players, on damage event and if the player is in the list cancel the damage

e.setCancelled(true);

inside your check

[languid oar]

probably a if statement

or while

idk

[manic mesa]

no not this

you don't want that at all

[manic mesa]

do this

[languid oar]

oh wdym list

[manic mesa]

array list

or set

[languid oar]

oh

not sure how i would pull all of the names of players that joined the server and put them in a array list

[glass lake]

@languid oar in that case we should recommend you to learn the basics of java

[languid oar]

i know how to make an array

just not how to get the player names

[glass lake]

Also

Why do you want to keep the player names

U should take in care that player names can change, uuid doesnt change

[manic mesa]

u don't need every player

u said u want every player who ran the command to not take damage

so only put them in the list

[glass lake]

basically a List<UUID>

Then listen to the damage event and check if player is inside the list cancel the event, if not dont do anything

[manic mesa]

mhm

[glass lake]

?

Why would you save full player object when you dont need it

Also it would be an overkill without being required because you only need to know his uuid to cancel the damage!

[manic mesa]

i was agreeing with u

🤦‍♂️

[glass lake]

Oh sorry

I didnt understand you
