Item hit command

I am working on a plugin and i need a command when someone is hit by an item (a blaze rod) but i have some errors with this part...I am not good creating plugin so i don't know where it's wrong.

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void blazerod(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
            if (((e.getEntity() instanceof Player))
                    && ((e.getDamager() instanceof Player))) {
                Player getdamager = (Player) e.getDamager();
                Player hit = (Player) e.getEntity();
 
                if (getdamager.getItemInHand().getType().equals(Material.BLAZE_ROD)) {
                    getdamager.sendMessage("§4Hit!");
             }
            }
    }
}

The command sendMessage is only for try the plugin: It will do the real command when completed.

Sorry for my bad English.

 

What do you exactly want to do?Could we have the Errors?

 

First, if the player is not holidng anything, getItemInHand will return a null object. Since you are not checking if it is null, this will thorw an error and break your event. Add the line below to your code (above the if statement)

Code:

if(getdamager.getItemInHand() == null) return;

Also, use == to compare enums, so replace ".equals" with "=="

 

@CaptainMike2828 I have not exported the plugin because eclipse give me some errors.

 

@zioGiok What are the exact errors eclipse is giving you? Can you post the whole code?
