[Help]Find who launched projectile

Code:

    public void grapple(ProjectileHitEvent event) {
        if(event.getEntity() instanceof Fish){
}

I need to find out who the player who launches the projectile is.

Do I need to setup a PlayerInteractEvent event to get this? If so how do I transfer the information from event.getPlayer(); to the ProjectileHitEvent so that I can use the player there?

I really hope this makes sense because I feel like cannot explain this any better.

 

event.getEntity() returns the Projectile! so you can do event.getEntity().getShooter();

 

Ah, lol. I forgot about that! Thanks!

Ah.
Player player = event.getEntity().getShooter(); Mismatch cannot convert from living entity to Player.

Any ideas to how I can fix that?

if(event.getEntity().getShoother() instanceof Player){
And then i think you can cast it. (I don't have eclipse here. Not tested)

 

I don't know anything about casting, could I get some code for that?

 

Code:

Player player = (Player) event.getEntity().getShooter();

Code:

if(event.getEntity().getShoother() instanceof Player){
    Player player = (Player) event.getEntity().getShooter();
}

Ps. Casting is the (Player).

 

Thanks!
