Determining if a LivingEntity is a Player

Hi all!

Is there currently a way to tell if a LivingEntity is a Player, and if so, obtain the Player object?

I'm trying to edit the EntityDamage events so Players only get hurt under certain situations, but I want all other entities to still be able to be hurt.

If anybody can shed any light on how to tell if the entities involved with events are Players, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks

I solved my problem. I'm not sure if it's the best solution, though. I also haven't tested it, so I'm not 100% sure it works. But in case other people are having this problem:

Code:

public boolean isEntityPlayer(Entity entity){
    	int id = entity.getEntityId();
    	Player[] players = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
        for(int x = 0; x < players.length; x++){
        	Player tempPlayer = players[x];
        	if(tempPlayer.getEntityId() == id){
        		return true;
    		}
        }
        return false;
    }
    public Player getPlayerFromEntity(Entity entity){
    	int id = entity.getEntityId();
    	Player[] players = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
        for(int x = 0; x < players.length; x++){
        	Player tempPlayer = players[x];
        	if(tempPlayer.getEntityId() == id){
        		return tempPlayer;
        	}
        }
        return null;
    }

 

Try this:

Code:

if (entity instanceof Player) {
  Player player = (Player)entity;
}

 

What void said is what you want. Your current method is very inefficient, but creative lol.

 

Aha! That's perfect, thanks!
