How to check if a player regenerated health

Hey guys,

I'm making a health bar plugin using spout and need to get when a player has regenerated health. How would I specifically check for a player?

I'm using the EntityRegenerateHealthEvent. Next thing I'd check is if they have the permission to see their health bar... so need the getPlayer() thingy.

As you can probably guess I'm a bit of a java noob, so pointing me in the right direction would be great (Ie, tell me what to do but please don't just do it for me or I'll never learn D: )

 

EDIT: Oops re-read your last paragraph.

You need to pass the event's Entity as a player variable if the Entity is a player.

 

Code:java

If(event.getEntity() instance of Player) {
     //Do stuff here
}

Thats how you check for JUST the player in an event

I know, but just explaing that part of code wouldn't make sense. And I belive he means do not do his entire code for him, that little bit isn't bad.

 

On phone but roughly have:

Code:

    if(event.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
            if(event.getPlayer()

At that point getPlayer throws an error saying "the method getPlayer is undefined for the type EntityRegainHealthEvent.

Any ideas

 

Pass event.getEntity() as a player variable.

 

getPlayer() is not part of Entity events, only Player specific events, follow what Kanlaki101 said and cast Player to the entity.
