[DEV] PlayerDeathEvent, Error

Hi
I gat this PlayerDeathEvent and i get this error when it's not a player that is the killer.

Here is the code i use:

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void playerdeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
        Player pk = e.getEntity().getKiller();
        Entity ek = e.getEntity();
        Player pd = e.getEntity().getPlayer();
        e.getDrops().clear();
        e.setDroppedExp(0);
        String killername = pk.getDisplayName();
       
        if (!(ek instanceof Player)) {
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("bims");
            return;
        }
       
        int lvl = cf.getData().getInt("Lvl." + pd.getName() + ".lvl");
        pd.setLevel(lvl);
       
        pk.giveExp(+17);
        pk.setHealth(20D);
        pd.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + killername + " dræbte dig!");
    }

And here is the error:
I used the command: /kill for this

Code:

I hope someone can help me

 

metincasper
a) Wrong section
b) You are using spigot....
c) The error occurs here:

Where is line 38?

But the reason (I*m just guessing) is: pk can be null, but you are calling

Code:java

pk.getDisplayName();

Check if pk is null

 

Moved to alternatives section

Check if pk is null. It is when the player is not killed by another player. Do check the Cause of the event and see if it was player-inflicted damage.

 

Thanks for the help, i will take a look on it
