event cannot be resolved

Hi, I'm trying to make a death listener but I've got an error where I have underlined it below, this is my whole class file and this is the error: 'event cannot be resolved'

event.getPlayer();

Code:

package me.MehrPvM.Event;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.EventPriority;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.PlayerDeathEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginManager;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class deathlistener implements Listener{
 
    public static Main plugin;
    Player player = event.getPlayer();
 
 
    public deathlistener(Main instance){
        plugin = instance;
    }
 
    @EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.NORMAL)
    public void onPlayerDeath(PlayerDeathEvent event) {
        String playerName = player.getName();
        Bukkit.broadcastMessage(playerName + " has died!");
 
        }
}

Thanks

 

That variable must be inside an event method. In your case, move that inside the "onPlayerDeath()" method.

 

chasechocolate But then the 'getPlayer' from the same code is errored, saying : 'the method player() is undefined for the type PlayerDeathEvent'

 

Well that error doesn't match up with your code oddly. If you put Player player = event.getPlayer(); and it says 'the method player() is undefined for the type PlayerDeathEvent'... then somewhere something is wrong because it's talking about a different method.

 

This should work:

String playerName = event.getEntity().getName();

 

Works Zaane, thanks. And Wired it's exactly the same.
