Get entity killer when the killer is not a player

Hello, I've been looking around for a bit and can't seem to find it... .getKiller() does not work for what im trying to do. Thanks!

 

Check if the Entity is not a instanceof a Player.

 

Check if getLastDamageCause is instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent, if it is, then you can just cast and use getDamager()

 

Sorry I am really new but I am trying to get the killer inside of a EntityDeathEvent, this is my code:

@EventHandler
public void onDeath(EntityDeathEvent e){
if (!(e.getEntity() instanceof Player)){
e.getEntity.getDamager() ?

dosent work.

(getLastDamageCause() is from Entity)

I see you followed @Eos 's solution, umm what you mean it doesnt work? Is it a compiler error? is it a Runtime error? is it something but not an error? does the code execute in the if? Have you debuged?

 

on EntityDeathEvent
if entity.getLastDamageCause() is a EntityDamageByEntityEvent
Cast getLastDamageCause() to EntityDamageByEntityEvent
The killer is EntityDamageByEntityEvent.getDamager()

 

EntityDamageByEntityEvent cst = (EntityDamageByEntityEvent) e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause();

is that correct ?

that returns me the killed entity not the killer... D:

 

cst.getDamager() is the killer, and I hope you're running the proper checks beforehand.

 

Well. I solved it myself.. I actually found another way to get the killer, im gonna be posting the simple code later when i get home so if other people have the same problem they can solve it.
