Check when Interacting with entity?

Hey guys,

I'd like to know when a player interacts with an entity, like this:

if(player.getTarget().getType() == entity){
//do stuff.
}

Unfortunately this doesn't work ;(
Anyone know?

Thanks,
cvcs1

 

@cvcs1
if(player.getTarget().getType() instanceof Entity) { // do stuff)

 

Do you mean .getCompassTarget? .getTarget is non-existent.
Thanks though.
EDIT: I am doing this in onPlayerInteract. Should it be elsewhere? Right now I have:

public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent event){
Player player = event.getPlayer();
if (player.getTarget().getType() instanceof Entity){

}
}
This is in my PlayerListener

 

you might get away with:

player.getLineOfSight(null, 500).toArray()[0] instanceof Entity

I could be wrong though...

 

You are wrong unfortunately. Shoot.
