Solved Parent Event?

Is there an event that is called whenever any event is called? Sorta like a preEvent? I need a way of calling code to check something before any event is called.

The easiest way to go about this is to set the priority of an event you want to be equal to HIGHEST, if you want it to trigger before an event. Here's a list of all the priorities:

@Zombie_Striker I was afraid someone was going to take this the wrong way. Let me give an example. For every event possible in Bukkit I need to check if an a variable is null. I do not want to declare every single event handler in my code, instead I was hoping that there was a master event or preevent that is called when any event is called. So instead of checking inside of each event separately, I could check in one single event.

 

@sooon_mitch
Sadly, I do not think there is such an event. You can try simply using "Event" or "PlayerEvent", but I do not think they contain any important information.

 

@Zombie_Striker Can you expand more on the "Event" event?

Maybe a Javadoc link? I cant seem to find it there.

Make an EventHandler method where, instead of being PlayerInteractEvent for example, it's just Event. All events inherit Event so you'll get all events that way.
I've no idea if it'll work or not.

 

I believe this will do. Thank you all.

 

@sooon_mitch You'll still need to go over every single Event (you might be able to inject a custom class with a "register listener" listener for CBs PluginManager) and pretty much do what you do in here. https://bukkit.org/threads/event-priority-manipulation.383793/
