[SOLVED] Catch a Skeleton Arrow event?

Is it possible to catch when a skeleton fires an arrow? I want to override it for some skeletons and have them fire a flame arrow instead.

Okay, looks like it's EntityShootBowEvent, but it looks for a livingentity ... is a skeleton a living entity? Maybe I'm thinking too literal and the API is differentiating between a dispenser and creature/player?

uh... a flame arrow?

thats not part of the standard bukkit api, afaik.
My mistake, i forgot about enchantments

To catch when an entity fires a projectile, you would listen for the ProjectileLaunchEvent

To catch when the projectile hits something, you'd listen for the ProjectileHitEvent

edit: ...or that

Code:

@EventHandler
public void onShoot(EntityShootBowEvent event) {
Entity e = (Entity) event.getEntity();
if (e instanceof Skeleton) {
if (event.getProjectile() instanceof Arrow) {
Arrow a = (Arrow) event.getProjectile();
a.setFireTicks(ticks);
}
}
}

 

Yes, the skeleton is a living entity.

do this

if(event.getEntity() instanceof Skeleton(){
Skeleton skeleton = (Skeleton)event.getEntity();
//code here
}

 

Thank you, you are beautiful people.
