How do i get the player from this event?

Basically i have this code below and i have got the player who is taking the damage when i throw the fishing line so playerHit is the player who gets hit by the fishing line, now i want to know how do i get the player who actually throws the fishing line.

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onFishingLineHit(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event)
    {
        if(event.getCause() == DamageCause.PROJECTILE)
        {
            if(event.getDamager() instanceof Fish)
            {
                Material material = Material.FISHING_ROD;
                if(material == Material.FISHING_ROD)
                {
                    Entity entity1thrower = (Entity) event.getEntity();
                    if(entity1thrower instanceof Player)
                    {
                        Player playerHit = (Player) entity1thrower;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                    //Do nothing
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //do nothing
        }
    }

 

Code:

event.getEntity(); // Entity that gets hit
((Projectile) event.getDamager()).getShooter(); // Get attacker

Something like that, I can't remember perfectly.

 

I think you'll have to do it using this:
event.getDamager().getShooter()
I hope this works.

 

How would i cast this to the projectile?

 

Since Fish is a subclass of projectile, you can just do ist like this:

Code:

Projectile projectile = (Projectile) event.getDamager();

Then you check if the shooter is a player and if so, store it in a variable.

Code:

if (projectile.getShooter() instanceof Player) {
 
    Player playerShooter = (Player) projectile.getShooter();
 
//Do your stuff
 
}
