Modifying Iron Swords Damage?

Hi!
I know I have been asking a lot of questions but could you help me with this? So I am simply trying to make a 1 hit kill iron sword. So I tried and failed miserably (Like all the other times....)
I used the damage event but it didn't work. Could someone show me what I need to do? Thanks!

 

EntityDamageByEntityEvent if event.getDamager instanceof Player && ((Player)event.getDamager()).getItemInHand().getType() == Material.IRON_SWORD
event.setDamage(20);

So its the EntityDamageByEntityEvent, it checks if the damager is a player, and the held item is an iron sword, then sets the damage to 20

 

CubixCoders Thanks for the help! I know this sounds REALLY pathetic but could you put it in the code box the format is messed up. Sorry!

 

Code:java

 
@EventHandler
public void onDamageByEntity(EntityDamageByEntityEvent) {
if (event.getDamager() instanceof Player && ((Player)event.getDamager()).getItemInHand().getType() == Material.IRON_SWORD) {
 event.setDamage(20);
}
 

Fixed up the syntax a bit

 

justcool393 Hey... um the code is coming out with warnings... Heh heh. *facepalm* Could you tell me how to fix it please. Thank you!

 

What warnings are you getting?

 

Justcool 393 uh on the public class line it says "Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody (I dont get that...)

Code:

public class Knife extends JavaPlugin{

and
"Syntax error on token "EntityDamageByEntityEvent", VariableDeclaratorld expected after this token.

Code:

public void onDamageByEntity(EntityDamageByEntityEvent) {

Thank you for being patient with me. I think I should do some more tutorials before attempting plugins...

 

You will get an NPE if the player is using their fist. Check if their item in hand isn't null

Also, do 'EntityDamageByEntityEvent e'

 

Try changing

Code:java

public void onDamageByEntity(EntityDamageByEntityEvent) {

to

Code:java

public void onDamageByEntity(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {

 

justcool393 Wow it worked! Thank you for being patient with me. I appreciate it!

 

Glad to see it worked.

 

Sorry, i wasn't writing in code form to help you learn
