Kill but don't kill player.

Is there a way to prevent the PlayerDeathEvent from being called so that the 'You Died' thingy doesn't come up and I can replace it with my custom code?
Example:

PHP:

/**
* @param EntityDamageEvent $damageEvent
*/
public function catchDamage(EntityDamageEvent $damageEvent)
{
    $entity = $damageEvent->getEntity();
    if ($entity instanceof Player && $damageEvent instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent) {
        $player = $entity;
        if (($player->getHealth() - $damageEvent->getFinalDamage()) < 1) { // BOIIII
            $this->kill($player);
        }
    }
}

/**
* @param Player $player
*/
private function kill(Player $player)
{
    $player->getInventory()->clearAll();
    $player->setHealth($player->getMaxHealth());
    $player->setFood($player->getMaxFood());
    if ($player->hasEffects()) {
        $player->removeAllEffects();
    }
    $player->addTitle("u died lol", "watanub kys", 20, 20 * 3, 20);
}


 

Try cancelling the event before calling "$this->kill()".

 

After $this->kill($player); add $damageEvent->setCancelled();

Edit: Lagggggg

 

Thanks, I'll try that.

 

Noooooooooooooooooo
how i fix dis

 

Listen for PlayerDeathEvent and set health to 20

 

Before I set the health to max, The player's probably ded lol

 

The event calls that Respawn screen. I hate that. "You died!". Meh .-.

 

PHP:

public function catchDamage(EntityDamageEvent $damageEvent)
{
    $entity = $damageEvent->getEntity();
    if ($entity instanceof Player && $damageEvent instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent) {
        $player = $entity;
        if (($player->getHealth() - $damageEvent->getFinalDamage()) < 1) { // BOIIII
            $damageEvent->setCancelled();
            $this->kill($player);
        }
    }
}

 

Lol. I asked you how to fix the lag.

 

I mean, my internet lags. The method is okay. This happened to me twice yesterday. Posting something when someone else already replied.
