Getting the entities killer in 1.5.2 with EntityDeathEvent?

Since they have removed EntityDeathByEntityEvent in the new bukkit releases I have found it very hard to simply get a killer of a entity when they die.

The only answer I could think of would be to use EntityDamageByEntityEvent and then check against it with EntityDeathEvent to check if the entity died, But thats alot of code just to get the killer of an entity.

So I have posted this hoping to find someone that knows or can think of a efficient method to getting an entities killer when it dies.

 

Gawdzahh Can't you use something like this?

Code:java

    @EventHandler
    public void onEntityDeath(EntityDeathEvent event) {
        LivingEntity entity = event.getEntity();
        EntityDamageEvent damageEvent = entity.getLastDamageCause();
 
        if ((damageEvent != null) && (damageEvent instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent)) {
            Entity killer = ((EntityDamageByEntityEvent) damageEvent).getDamager();
 
            // Now do anything with the entity
        }
    }
