if($cause instanceof explosion){ ??

How to stop a player from being hurt or dieing from a explosion? i tried

PHP:

public function onPlayerDeath(EntityDeathEvent $event){
                    $cause = $event->getEntity()->getLastDamageCause();
                    if($cause instanceof explosion){
                        $event->setCancled();

and also tried the same thing with PlayerDammageEvent

Use EntityDamageEvent. Also, you have spelling mistakes in the code.

haha thank you "cancled" XD

Still not working /:

PHP:

 public function onPlayerDamage(EntityDamageEvent $event){
                    $player = $event->getEntity();
                    $cause = $player->getLastDamageCause();
                    if($cause instanceof Explosion){
                        $event->setCanceled();
                    }
                }

is the instanceof Explosion wrong? i kinda guessed at that part..

omg nvm lol i had a derp moment

if($cause instanceof explosion){

does not work ): plz tell me the right way to code that

Its setCancelled();

Replace Explosion with EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_CAUSE_BLOCK_EXPLOSION || EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_ENTITY_EXPLOSION

I did that lol that was my

my deep moment XD

thank you! will try it

It don't seems to be fixed in my quote
(Put double 'l' at Cancelled.)

caused a syntax error..so i tried to switch it up a bit and not having any luck with it /:

so i ended up with this bc using instanceof caused a syntax error..but now it is canceling all damage /:

PHP:

public function EntityDamageEvent(EntityDamageEvent $event){
                    $cause = $event->getEntity()->getLastDamageCause();
                    if($cause = EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_BLOCK_EXPLOSION || EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_ENTITY_EXPLOSION){
                        $event->setCancelled();

how can i use

PHP:

if($cause instanceof EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_BLOCK_EXPLOSION || EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_ENTITY_EXPLOSION){

without the error? it says unexpected identifier CAUSE_BLOCK_EXPLOSION

But first of all, do you even know PHP?

Remove $cause and =, so it'll be if(EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_BLOCK_EXPLOSION || EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_ENTITY_EXPLOSION){

Please stop providing invalid solutions. Here is the correct solution to the if statement:

PHP:

$cause = $event->getCause();
if($cause === EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_BLOCK_EXPLOSION || $cause === EntityDamageEvent::CAUSE_ENTITY_EXPLOSION){
    //your code here
}

The way i did it works for me.

no not really.. I am learning tho

First learn, then read, after that understand and finally "dream"

Yes, and test everything else too, it will "work too". How would PHP know you are comparing them against $cause if you don't even put it there?

And PHP is a PROGRAMMING language, not a HUMAN language. "Iron (III) is yellow or brown" is interpreted as what you think, but in PHP `$ironThree->color === YELLOW or BROWN`in PHP will be interpreted as the Boolean OR result of:

PHP:

$ironThree->color === YELLOW


Or

PHP:

BROWN

Because OR has a lower operator priority, so its check runs the last. But even if `or` has higher priority than === (which is wrong), it will become the Boolean OR result of YELLOW and BROWN, and eventually you are still only comparing $cause to one value.

In conclusion, `$a or $b` will cast $a and $b to Boolean (true if not equal to 0, false if equal to 0), and the output is also a Boolean (true or false). You must never expect === to compare a value against two others.
Therefore, even

PHP:

$color === (YELLOW or BROWN)

is incorrect. It will simply cast YELLOW and BROWN to Boolean, execute an or upon them, and check if $color is identical to the output of `or`.
If you put

PHP:

$color === YELLOW or BROWN

it will become:

PHP:

($color === YELLOW) or BROWN

And this will check whether $color is identical to YELLOW. Regardless of it is identical or not, the other operand, `BROWN`, will be casted to Boolean, or in your case, the EntityDamageEvent constant. Since it is not equal to 0, it will cast BROWN into `true`. `true or ($color === YELLOW)`, regardless of $color really being identical to YELLOW, will obviously output true.
The correct method should be:

PHP:

$color === YELLOW or $color === BROWN

Or, if you don't want to keep typing $color, use in_array($color, [YELLOW, BROWN]), although it involves calling a function, which results in a slight function call overhead, and is not recommended compared to the above suggested method.

As for instanceof, it is for checking whether an OBJECT is an instance of the specified CLASS. The class must be a class reference, not a value expression.
