Make one event run before a different event.

I have two events, EntityDamageByEntityEvent and ProjectileHitEvent, I need EntityDamageByEntityEvent to run first. I have tried to use priorities setting EntityDamageByEntityEvent to LOWEST and ProjectileHitEvent to highest yet ProjectileHitEvent still runs first. I would rather not use a task to delay the ProjectileHitEvent by a tick so if there are any other options please let me know. Thanks

 

AFAIK Bukkit handles the events, and the order they get fired is the order they get fired.

Why do you want to delay it anyway?

And the priorities just set which plugin has the final say on the event.

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onEntityDamageByEntityEvent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e)
    {
        if (e.getDamager() instanceof Arrow && e.getEntity() instanceof Player)
        {
            Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
            Arrow arrow = (Arrow) e.getDamager();

            if (isElementalArrow(arrow))
            {
                switch (getElementalArrowType(arrow))
                {
                    case POISON:
                        p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 20 * 5, 1, true));
                        break;

                    case FREEZING:
                        p.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SLOW, 20 * 5, 4, true));
                        break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onProjectileHitEvent(ProjectileHitEvent e)
    {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof Arrow)
        {
            Arrow arrow = (Arrow) e.getEntity();

            if (isElementalArrow(arrow))
            {
                if (getElementalArrowType(arrow) == ElementalArrowType.LIGHTNING)
                {
                    arrow.getWorld().strikeLightning(arrow.getLocation());
                }

                removeElementalArrow(arrow);
            }

            arrow.remove();
        }
    }

The problem is that the arrow gets removed as an elemental arrow in ProjectileHitEvent so in
EntityDamageByEntityEvent it doesnt register as an elemental arrow

 

Then.............. remove it in the damage event??

 

@WolfMage1
Can't. One of the effects of the arrow is causing lighting where it lands, whether or not it hits a player.

 

Then just use the damage one, check if the damage is caused by an arrow, if it is, then spawn a lightning.

 

@mcdorli
But i want it to be able to cause lightning if you miss a player and it hits the ground, hence why i used ProjectileHitEvent

 

Then follow the arrow with a scheduler, store the arrows you spawn a lightning with in an arraylist, and once the projectile hits an entity, remove it from the arraylist, else, if it does before you remove it, then spawn a lightning in the last place it was.
