Killing a Player with the Specified Reason

Hello everyone!

I am currently developing a plugin which adds the command /explode <player>. I already have set it up so that an explosion is created that does not damage blocks, however, I want to be sure that the player dies. How would I kill the player, while changing the broadcast in the chat to "{PLAYERNAME} was exploded."?

Any help is appreciated.

Just set their health to 0. As for changing the death message you can just edit the death message for that player by listening to the player death event.

 

Not hard to do:
Just make a command /killplayer <player> using arguments
than make an argument with <reason> Like this:

Code:java

public class Commands implements CommandExecutor {
    public String glueArgs(String[] args) {
        String glued = "";
 
        if(args != null) {
            for(int index = 1; args.length > index; index++) {
                glued += args[index] + " ";
            }
        }
        return glued;
    }

Than type:

Code:java

}else{
                        target.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + glueArgs(args));

that else one isnt needed! its just how you coded your plugin!
