Find The Killer Of A Player

Hello Bukkit forums,

The plugin I'm working on is a PvP plugin that checks for a killer of user. Now, what I'm doing does find a killer but if you swing your weapon crazily and hit a player multiple times, sometimes it will register the "death" multiple times.

This is the code I'm using

Code:

 public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event) {
	    if (!(event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) {
	      return;
	    }

	    if (!(event instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent)) {
	      return;
	    }

	    if (!(((EntityDamageByEntityEvent)event).getDamager() instanceof Player)) {
	      return;
	    }

	    final Player killer = (Player)((EntityDamageByEntityEvent)event).getDamager();
	    Player victim = (Player)event.getEntity();
	    //If there is not enough damage for a kill...
	    if (event.getDamage() - victim.getHealth() < 0) {
	      return;
	    }

	    //If the damage caused led to a kill, we shall do the following

	    PlayerKilledStuff();

	  }
}

Obviously I left some parts out, but that's the main code I use for finding a killer. Again it works but "PlayerKilledStuff()" will happen multiple times if the killer is swinging wildly. Much thanks to you if you can help me

Shameless and quick bump

Sorry, I would like to know a fix :3
(I have a work-around for it which requires a hashmap and a scheduler but I want to know if there's a better way)

I think I'm going to make another guide that includes some of the top-asked questions...because this is definitely one of them.

Anywho:

Code:java

 
	public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent event){
		Entity e = event.getEntity();
		if(e.getLastDamageCause() instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent){
			EntityDamageByEntityEvent nEvent = (EntityDamageByEntityEvent) e.getLastDamageCause();
			if(nEvent.getDamager() instanceof Player){
				Player p = (Player) nEvent.getDamager();
                                //do stuff
			}
		}
         }
 

 

Sorry if my question is asked a lot, my google searches didn't bring up anything

Thanks a lot anyways n_n

 

Haha, its fine. In any case, I doubt you'd find much of anything from Google when it comes to coding plugins.
