Solved Credits For Kills Console Error

I started on a new addition to my PvP plugin, I wanted to add essentials economy for kills. This was simple enough to make, and works perfectly. However, I can't seem to understand why the console spits out an error message if a player is killed via a command, or via the console. I definitely know the plugin works and the player death event is registered correctly as when one player kills another, credits are awarded. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Code:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e){
        if (e.getEntity().getPlayer() instanceof Player){
            Player p = e.getEntity().getPlayer();
            Player k = e.getEntity().getKiller();
            if (!(k.getName() == p.getName())){
                if (k.getPlayer() instanceof Player){
                    Bukkit.getServer().dispatchCommand(Bukkit.getConsoleSender(), ("eco give "+k.getName()+ "10"));
                    k.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA+"You Have Been Given 10 Credits For Killing "+ChatColor.GREEN+p.getName()+ChatColor.AQUA+"!");
                    e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.BLUE+p.getName()+ChatColor.GREEN+" Has Been Rekt By "+ChatColor.RED+k.getName()+ChatColor.GREEN+", Y2eZpZ?");
                }
                return;
            }
        }
    }

 

"k" will sometimes return null, because it can't be assumed that another Entity killed the player all the time. Try putting in a conditional that triggers the rest of the code iff k != null.

 

Worked perfectly, thanks a lot!
