Solved PlayerDeathEvent, Cant get player or killer?

Hello! I'd like some help with my plugin, Basically, the event is going to check if they're dead, (which they are) then check if they're in an arena, then do something to the killer (probably give him/her points/credits). Anyway, I've registered my events in onEnable:

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);

And here is my event:

@EventHandler
public void killEvent(PlayerDeathEvent e)
{
//Bla bla bla
}

But my problem is this: Whenever I try to do "Player player = e.getPlayer();", It says "The method getPlayer() is undefined for the type PlayerDeathEvent". I also tried to do "e." and then scroll down and try to find it, But it doesn't have getPlayer() or getKiller(). Help please

P.S Thanks in advance!

 

@Ultracrepadarian You are using the wrong methods. Have a look at the documentation; it should help.

 

@Ultracrepadarian How to get the player is answered by Oxyorum, also, to get the killer you need to call #getKiller() in your player, this is a method of Entity and always returns a Player object, it may also be null.

 

@Ultracrepadarian
PlayerDeathEvent is the same as EntityDeathEvent in many ways.
I recommend using EntityDeathEvent rather than PlayerDeathEvent though.
Both events have the same methods for getting the killed & killer.

PlayerDeathEvent:

Code:

public void onDeath(PlayerDeathEvent e) {
    if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player && e.getEntity().getKiller() instanceof Player) {
   Player died = (Player)e.getEntity();
   Player killed = (Player)e.getEntity().getKiller();
    // do stuff

EntityDeathEvent:

Code:

public void onDeath(EntityDeathEvent e) {
    if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player && e.getEntity().getKiller() instanceof Player) {
   Player died = (Player)e.getEntity();
   Player killed = (Player)e.getEntity().getKiller();
    // do stuff

 

So basically, I would use EntityDeathEvent, check if it's a player, if it is, then specify that player as "player", then use player.getKiller()? Correct?

@Ultracrepadarian Correct.

 

Thanks everyone for the help

SOLVED! Right now I'm on my phone, so ill mark it as solved later...

 

@Ultracrepadarian You can use playerDeathevent if you just wanna check when a player is killed. This event is called when a player dies, so you don't have to check if the entity is a player

 

But I want to get the killer, So that wouldnt work...

 

@Ultracrepadarian Look at @SuperSniper's code snippet on PlayerDeathEvent to see how that would be done.

 

Ah sorry, I saw his post on TapaTalk, so it didn't show the code snippets. Thanks anyway, but its solved
