Very strange problem with EntityDamageEvent

hi!

When used EntityDamageEvent I had a strange problem ... with this code:

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onPlaerDemageEvent(EntityDamageEvent e){
       
           
                entity = e.getEntity();
                Killer = ((Player) entity).getKiller();
               
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("entity: " + entity.getName() + " killer: " + Killer.getName());
       
    }

Not every time it worked, and when that did not work in the console showed:

I do not know what the problem is, but my ultimate goal is that every time a player hits a player from his team, he will get hurt. All players names of the players from that team are on their own ArrayList:

Code:

    public static ArrayList<String> redTeam = new ArrayList<String>();
    public static ArrayList<String> blueTeam = new ArrayList<String>();

I would be happy if you can help me!

Thanks,

Why aren't you using PlayerDeathEvent? You get a NullPointerException because the target is still alive so it doesnt have a Killer

 

you are casting without checking if the entity is a player...

Hey, I want that every time a player hits a player in the same team, he will not hurt ...
I think PlayerDeathEvent not help me in this case.

@Sking3000 Have a look at the EntityDamageByEntityEvent.
Because a living player usually does not have a killer.
To get the damager use the #getDamager() method of EntityDamageByEntityEvent
