Solved Arrow Hitting Entity Will Not Work!

Ive tried projectilehitevent and entitydamageevent and I cannot for the life of me figure out if the arrow has hit a mob or player.

Can someone point me in a direction please.

Thanks,
Hubeb

'if (ProjectileHitEvent.getEntity() != null && ProjectileHitEvent.getEntity() instanceof Player)' doesnt work?

For players yes, for mobs no.

 

firstly, have you registered your events, this is a common problem that often annoys people who try to help you only to find out it was that simple. secondly, you could just listen to entitydamageevent then check if the entity, e.getEntity(), is an arrow.

Yes I have registered my events.

 

e.getEntity() might get the damaged entity i think, use e.getDamager i believe to get the arrow.

so then, just listen to entityDamageEvent then check if e.getDamager() is an arrow then you can check if e.getEntity() is instanceof Player

With mobs you mean? If you mean the 'bad guys' you can check instanceof Monster, if you mean animals and villigers as well, instanceof Creature, if all the things and player its instanceof LivingEntity

This is my code... and it "should" work:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void arrowHit(EntityDamageEvent event) throws IOException{
        if (event.getEntity() != null){
            if(event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause() instanceof Arrow){
                Arrow a = (Arrow)event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause();
                if(a.getShooter() instanceof Player){
                Player player = (Player) a.getShooter();
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("3");
                    Useful.setExp(player, "archery", 5);
                    player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD+"You have gained: "+
                        ChatColor.AQUA+5+ChatColor.GOLD+" Archery Exp.");
                    Bukkit.broadcastMessage("4");
            }
            }
        }
    }

Its PROJECTILE and not ARROW (http://jd.bukkit.org/beta/apidocs/org/bukkit/event/entity/EntityDamageEvent.DamageCause.html)

EDIT: Just saw, you get LastDamageCause from Entity, it returns the last DamageEvent, what should be the one you are in. Event.getCause().equals(DamageCause.PROJECTILE) is more like it. But I think ProjectileHitEvent would work better to check if projectile is arrow

Still No Luck: ----Edited ----

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void arrowHit(EntityDamageEvent event) throws IOException{
if (event.getEntity() != null){
if(event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause() instanceof Projectile){
Projectile pro = (Projectile)event.getEntity().getLastDamageCause();
if(pro instanceof Arrow){
Arrow a = (Arrow)pro;
if(a.getShooter() instanceof Player){
Player player = (Player) a.getShooter();
Bukkit.broadcastMessage("3");
Useful.setExp(player, "archery", 5);
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD+"You have gained: "+
ChatColor.AQUA+5+ChatColor.GOLD+" Archery Exp.");
Bukkit.broadcastMessage("4");
}
}
}
}
}

Trust me ive already tried both.
How am I supposed to grab the entity hit from the projectilehitevent?

Tarestudio SoThatsIt
Thanks for the help guys, I needed the EntityDamagedByEntityEvent... derp part on my end.
Here is the code if you want:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void arrowhit(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) throws IOException{
        if(event.getDamager() instanceof Arrow){
        Arrow arrow = (Arrow) event.getDamager();
        if(arrow.getShooter() instanceof Player){
            Player shooter = (Player) arrow.getShooter();
    //Code Here
        }
        }
        }

now its 3:15am here im going to go to bed.
