getting the last person to hit them

i need to get the last person to hit someone when they die

like i hit someone and they jump in lava but it still says i kill them

 

uhh, any current code? if you have code please post it here else please post in the plugin req part of the forums

 

Just log what they were damaged by as they get hurt, when they finally die, go up from the bottom of the list and when you hit something that is a player, that is the person that hit them last. So your list would look something like:
nitrousspark:
- DROWNING
- ARROW
- Player_travja
- FIRE

Your code for the check would be EntityDamageEvent and use something like this

Code:java

if(p.getDamager() instanceof Player){
List damages = config.getStringList(p.getName());
damages.add("Player_" + ((Player)p.getDamager()).getName());
config.getStringList(p.getName()).set(damages); //not quite sure here...
saveConfig();
}else if(p.getDamager() instaceof EntityDamageEvent.EntityAttack){
//same as above but just mob attack or something...
}else if(p.getDamager() instanceof ..... // and so on, just do it to your liking!
 
}

 

EntityDamageEvent, if entity is a player, continue
If damage cause is not from a player, continue
if last damage cause is from a player, continue
damage player according to event
cancel event

Sumping liek dis?

 

If you have that ability - to look at damage and see what player damaged them last - wouldn't it be easier and faster to keep a global Hashmap<string, string> around and update it every time the user was damage by another player, then on death look for the users name in the map (Players being damaged are keys, the player damaging them are values) and use that to get the details for the players death?
