Calling and listening to events

Hello guys!

Ive had a lot of trouble registering events, and listening to those.

Events: EntityDamageByEntityEvent, PlayerDeathEvent

Whenever a player does a certain action, i want other players to be damaged. If i just do:
player.setHealth(player.getHealth() - 1) (taking his health is more then 1)
The event gets called just fine, i checked it with a system.out.print.

But whenever i call the event and the player is suppoosed to die, so when the PlayerDeathEvent gets called, it doesnt register the lastDamageCause.

I grap that fine, because it works for everything else.
I have it setup so every event has a system.out.println(). so when someone dies, i see the following:
- Registered EntityDamageByEntityEvent!
- Registered EntityDamageEvent!
- Registered PlayerDeathEvent!

and then a nullpointer because i try to grab the lastDamageCause, which appareantely isnt beeing called.
I have also tried to add a delay to the .setHealth() method, with no luck.

Is there something im missing?
Should i call the events different?

Code snippets:


Event calling:

Code:

Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(new EntityDamageEvent(player.getPlayer(), DamageCause.ENTITY_EXPLOSION, totalDamage));
Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().callEvent(new EntityDamageByEntityEvent(Bukkit.getServer().getPlayer(name),
                    ent, DamageCause.ENTITY_EXPLOSION, totalDamage));
player.getPlayer().setHealth(player.getPlayer().getHealth() - totalDamage);

Death event:

Code:

EntityDamageEvent lastDamageCause = e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause();
System.out.println("deathcause: " + lastDamageCause.getCause());  <--- nullpointer sometimes, lastDamageCause == null

I am aware that some people dont like calling and listening to methods in the same plugin, but i have all my code in the listener, and i dont want to have double code. Its just convenient in my opinion.

Thanks for reading!

 

Check player.damage (int amount, (Entity source))
