Getting actual item

Hey,

I'm trying to get the name of item used to kill a player, before you say
p.getItemInHand() then no. Because the problem is when player, for example,
shoots a bow and swaps to fish before it lands it will say killed by fish not Pro Elite Bow.

I looked though the method and I could not really find anything of use, anything
that I've missed or do I have to do it the long way around?

 

Try when the player fires a bow put the bows name in a hashmap with the players name, then on death if the cause was an arrow get the shooter get the hashmap get the name

 

Thanks. I know how to do it, was just making sure there was no method that I've
missed such as

PHP:

@EventHandler
public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
Player p = e.getPlayer();
e.setDeathMessage("Player " p.getName() + " has died by a weapon named " + p.getDeathCause().getName());
}

Would be much more useful.

 

Yea sucks /:

 

It would probably be a lot cleaner to add the bow's name to the Arrow's metadata

 

Definitely the way it should be done

 

Sadly, we got to do it our own way.
