How to set something off if a player has a certain level

ok so im coding a minigame ish thing. But i dont understand how to have the if to set off that. I already have one of which checks the entity to make sure its human.

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent d){
 
if(d.getEntity().equals(EntityType.PLAYER)){
 
Player a = (Player)d.getEntity();
Player b = (Player)d.getEntity().getKiller();
 
 
}
}
}

this is what i have atm, im not event sure if i need the player a and b aswell

Fix up some stuff. First of all I would make it (PlayerDeathEvent e) but if you want to keep it as d, that's fine. First, do the check like this:
if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player)
Now when you cast your players do: Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
Player killer = (Player) p.getKiller();

I just think that labeling things like this will make everything much easier for you. Now, when you say 'level' what do you mean? Like how much xp they have or what? Remember to tag me aswell

 

@Monkey_Swag I mean like their whole exp levels like in their number, I want it to check the the killer of the player each time someone dies, and when it returns true other stuff happens

 

LordFox ok, just wondering, is there any specific way the killer would get xp in your minigame?

 

this is the other class

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent d){
 
        if(d.getEntity().equals(EntityType.PLAYER)){// the problem was here!
 
            Player a = (Player)d.getEntity();
            Player b = (Player)d.getEntity().getKiller();
 
            d.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.BLUE + a.getName() + ChatColor.BLUE + " Was Cut Down By " + ChatColor.BLUE + b.getName() + ChatColor.BLUE +" with " + ChatColor.BLUE + b.getItemInHand());
            b.setLevel(b.getLevel() + 1);
 
 
        }
 
    }
 

not sure if i should combine the classes and do it D: @Monkey_Swag

 

LordFox
I would recommend checking if .getKiller() != null first, because it would return null if the player wasnt killed.

To get the exp LEVEL of the player, its player.getLevel()

 

ik that but how do i get that to check inside a death event if the player has a certain exp level, and i dont know how to make it do certain things when that returns true...........boolean?\
