DeathInfo - is entity a player?

Hey guys,

im porting DeathInfo from hMod to bukkit. I need to know, if a Entity object is a Player and then i need to know the players name.
so far i have the following:

Code:

@Override
    public void onEntityDamageByBlock(EntityDamageByBlockEvent evt){

        Player victim = (Player)evt.getEntity();

    }

But now i have no idea how to fill all the attributes of the player class - entity is just the base class so there is no name, health etc.

thanks in advance.

 

if(evt.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
Player victim = (Player) evt.getEntity();
String victimName = victim.getName();
}

You'd want to check if it's a Player entity first before you turn it into one in case you try to turn a mob into a Player. It would cause an error if it did.

 

ok, but how to get the name of the player who killed victimName? ;O

 

in onEntityDamagedByEntity you just add another bit to that function.

Code:

// After victim named recieved
if(event.getAttacker() instanceof Player) {
    String attackerName = ((Player) event.getAttacker()).getName();
}

 

first: i found no function called getAttacker,
second: there is an error in the plugin, but I cant find it. can you help me, please? ;O

 

You need to also listen to onEntityDamageByBlock (cactus ...), onEntityDamageByEntity (mobs, other players ...), onEntityDamageByProjectile (arrows ...)

 

Use event.getDamager() instead of event.getAttacker()
