dont use == for strings, use .equals

"String message = event.getDeathMessage();"
wasn't used so I removed it. Still doesn't work.

 

are you registering the event in onEnable()?

 

OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T DO THAT THANK YOU.

It's still not working though.

why use '.equals()' instead of '=='? it always works fine for me...

also i have just thought of a way to control any entity you ride; move towards where the player is looking if they are sneaking, using sneak as the 'go' key basically. but i am aware that this will not work in 1.6 and above, since the sneak key is used to dismount vehicles. so is there any other key press that gets sent to the server when riding a mob? or is it just sneak?

I'm pretty sure WASD or whatever you use to move will affect them.

 

no. only for minecarts and horses. for other things, the packets are not sent. also seems you can no longer sneak while riding a mob in 1.5 anyway

 

oh. well that sucks... can we stay on topic please? xD

Hey guys thanks for all the support.. but I'm going to need to get this finished before Friday...

Code:

//package net.malicepvp.malicepvp;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Sound;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.PlayerDeathEvent;
 
public class reap implements Listener {
  public static MalicePvP plugin;
 
  public reap(MalicePvP instance) {
    plugin = instance;
  }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        Player killer = event.getEntity().getKiller();
        if (killer != null && killer.getName().equals("Skeleton_o_Dhuum")) {
            event.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "[" + ChatColor.GRAY + "???" + ChatColor.AQUA + "] " + ChatColor.BLACK + "Someone has been taken...");
            for(Player p : Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers()){
                p.playSound(p.getLocation(), Sound.WITHER_DEATH, 1, 0);
            }
        }
    }
}

 

sorry, i didn't think a small thing like that was worth its own thread. but maybe it was

 

thanks
