    @Arangaduy Check if it is a player, if so: cast to player

    I tried, but I don't know how to write it in the code

    My code:
    Player p = e.getEntityType().getName();

    @Arangaduy
    Player p = e;
    Will give an error, hover your mouse over it

    @Arangaduy Eclipse (or whatever you are using) will tell you that you can't do that, that is why you get the error.
    Hovering your mouse over it should give you quick fixes.

    I do this, but it offers many ways and they do not work for me because I do not know how to do it.

    @Arangaduy Might want to consider a java tutorial in that case.
    This is basic class casting.
    Player p = (Player) e;

    @Arangaduy Try it please, it does not go from Player to Player.
    This is called "class casting"
