Setting Damage Cause And Running Death Event

If the plugin were to damage a player by 4 hearts, how can I set the damagecause to another player and then run the death event?

 

setLastDamageCause() ?

I don't think you get what I mean. Allow me to explain it a bit more:


A player right clicks an item in their inventory, and all entities nearby are damaged for 4 hearts, and one entity (creeper) dies. How could I run the death event with the killers name so I could set it to lastdamagcause/killer?

 

EntityDamageEvent: Check which entities was damaged and set the last damage cause to the instance of the entity which damaged them which would be an entity of a player.

 

When damaging entities such as creepers or players, instead of only inputting the the amount of damage, add a second argument as the source of the damage or the damager (in this case the player) like this:

Code:java

livingEntity.damage(6D, player)

If I'm not mistaken this automatically fires an EntityDamageByEntity event with the damager being the player and if the entity dies the getKiller() of that entity will also return the player. Hope this helps!
