Solved Monster Eggs - get monster in PlayerInteractEvent

Hi all,

Here's what I got:

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if (event.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)
{
  if (player.getItemInHand() != null)
  {
    if (player.getItemInHand().getTypeId() == 383) // Monster egg
    {
      final ItemStack is = player.getItemInHand();
      if (is.hasItemMeta()==false) return;
      ItemMeta im = is.getItemMeta();
      im.setDisplayName(player.getName() + "'s minion");
      is.setItemMeta(im);
    }
  }
}
}

My question: How can get the entity that will come out of the monster egg? (and change its name)

 

You can't..

But you can use EntitySpawnEvent

 

doesn't exist

Edit: What about ItemSpawnEvent?

How can I get the player from that event?

Is what I meant

 

Ok, thanks, but how can I get the player?

 

You could get the itemMeta of the spawn egg (which corresponds to the entity it spawns, i.e. 383:120 spawns a villager) and adjust the display name of the spawn egg accordingly, which should set the spawned mob's name as well.

 

I've already tried that, doesn't work...

I got it, in my interact event:

Code:

                    int data = player.getItemInHand().getData().getData();
                    if (data==51) // skeleton
                    {
                        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
                        Skeleton skeleton = (Skeleton) player.getWorld().spawnCreature(player.getLocation(), EntityType.SKELETON);
                        skeleton.setCustomName(player.getName() + "'s minion");
                        event.setCancelled(true);
                    }
                   
                    if (data==54) // zombie
                    {
                        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
                        Zombie zombie = (Zombie) player.getWorld().spawnCreature(player.getLocation(), EntityType.ZOMBIE);
                        zombie.setCustomName(player.getName() + "'s minion");
                        event.setCancelled(true);
                    }
