Solved ProjectileHitEvent how to get the wounded entity?

i need to listen if an arrow hits a block or an entity ...
the block hit is working, but if i shoot at an entity it will trigger the block effect (additionally)... and i can't find a way to get if the arrow hit an entity in the ProjctileHitEvent ...

Code:java

 
    public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent evt) {
        Projectile projectile = evt.getEntity();
        if (!plugin.watchlist.containsKey(projectile)) // arrow on watchlist?
            return;
        Arrow arrow = (Arrow) projectile;
 
        logger.log("Entity: " + evt.getEntity(), 4); // <-- tells me "Craftarrow" not the wounded entity
 
        Entity entity = ?????
 
        if(entity == null){ // wounded entity?
           //block hit
        } else {
           //entity hit
        }
 
 
    }

 

Perhaps you can use EntityDamageByEntityEvent and then check if the damager is an Arrow?

 

but I have to use the ProjectileHitEvent() and i have no idea, how to get the corresponding damage event ...

That code can be done with EntityDamageByEntityEvent, just check if attacker is instanceof Arrow then cast but you also have access to getEntity() which is the victim of the arrow.

You can use ProjectileHitEvent to detect if it's a block hit only after checking if the other event triggered... how you're going to sync those is up to you.

Yeah the sync is the problem ... i dont know how much time is between those events ... and if multiple players use bows at the same time, they will interfere each other :/

 

You can easily find out with console messages (in-game messages are not that reliable), see which one triggers first.
And if you design it properly they won't interfere as you are not limited to storing one thing at a time.
