Solved Detecting What Ignited Primed TNT

Hello Bukkiteers! How do you detect what ignited primed tnt, whether a projectile, a player, or some other entity, how do you detect the source that ignited or primed a TNT?

 

Maybe use the BlockIgniteEvent?

It has methods such as getCause(), getIgnitingEntity() and getPlayer().

Here is the page http://jd.bukkit.org/rb/doxygen/d3/d67/classorg_1_1bukkit_1_1event_1_1block_1_1BlockIgniteEvent.html

Hope it helps!

 

Wow. Thank chu so much!!!

Alright, I have another question. When a player is damaged by this explosion? How would I get the entity that set the explosion?

An over-complicated way to do it would be to store the location + player that ignited the tnt and compare the location of the explosion with the saved data. Something like a hashmap of players and locations would work I reckon.

EDIT:
I say over-complicated because there's probably an easier way to do this, I just don't see it right now!

 

I was thinking on doing that.... but... :| If there are no other answers, I will probably do that

I haven't tested it but I suggest a EntityDamageByEntityEvent will trigger because you get hit by a TNTPrimed.

Then you can check if the getDamager() is an instance of a TNTPrimed.

Then you could cast the damager to a TNTPrimed.

Then check if getSource() of the TNTPrimed is what you want it to be.

And then you'd have what you want to have

Again, this is just a suggestion. I really don't know if it'll work but I don't have the time to check if.

Hope it helps

 

getSource() returns EntityLiving. What if the entity that set off the tnt was a projectile?

 

Then track the projectile back to its shooter I guess.

Returns an Entity for me! If it is an EntityLiving it would return false at the "instanceof"check

How..?

It returns EntityLiving, which extends Entity. Projectile extends Entity, not EntityLiving. The TNT Primed does not store any instance of the projectile unless it already does the instanceof check when the entity is primed.

God dammit. I was refering to EntityTNTPrimed instead of TNTPrimed. Thanks!!!
