EntityDamageByEntityEvent

So I fixed my cooldown, but using this code the squids won't spawn...Can anyone spot what I did wrong?

Code:java

    private ArrayList<Player> cooldown = new ArrayList<Player>();
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onsnowballfallevent(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event){
        if(event.getDamager() instanceof Snowball){
                Player p = (Player) event.getEntity();
                Snowball snowball = (Snowball) event.getDamager();
                final Player damager = (Player) snowball.getShooter();
                if(!cooldown.contains(damager)){
                Entity e = event.getEntity();
                Location l = e.getLocation();
                World world = l.getWorld();
                EntityType mob = EntityType.SQUID;
                world.spawnEntity(l, mob);
                world.playEffect(l, Effect.MOBSPAWNER_FLAMES, 20);
                p.sendMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + "You were attacked by " + ChatColor.RED + damager.getName());
                cooldown.add(damager);
                Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().scheduleSyncDelayedTask(this, new Runnable(){
                    public void run(){
                        cooldown.remove(damager);
                    }
                }, 100);
 
    }else if(cooldown.contains(damager)){
        event.setCancelled(true);
    }
}
}
}

It starts at the first line

 

Ahh, you are casting the entity to a player, which isn't a player. So what you need to do is check that (event.getEntity() instanceof Player) before you cast anything MoeMix

 

but I want to somehow get the shooter of the entity rangersmash

rangersmash, do I just put if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player) as the first thing and keep everything else the same?

Bump, I have been trying to get this to work for a few hours now but can't get it. Does anyone know what my casting mistake is and where I can fix it?
