isn't this supposed to run every tick for any living entities?

event handler:

@SubscribeEvent
public void livingEvent(LivingEvent event)
{
	if(event.entity instanceof EntityPlayer && EntityExtendedPlayer.get((EntityPlayer) event.entity) != null)
	{
		EntityExtendedPlayer props = EntityExtendedPlayer.get((EntityPlayer)event.entity);
		if(props.getDrunkness() > 0)
		{
			props.setDrunkness(props.getDrunkness()-1);
		}
		if(props.getMaxShields() > 0)
		{
			if(props.getShieldsTimer() > 0)
			{
				props.setShieldsTimer(props.getShieldsTimer()-1);
			}
			else
			{
				props.setCurrentShields(props.getCurrentShields()+0.2F);
			}
		}
	}
}

the other events work, so i know that i set up the event handler correctly. am i supposed to use a different event? according to tutorials i found this is supposed to work.

oh wait nevermind i figured it out! it was the not null check that didnt work for some reason. quite strange.

There is a PlayerTickEvent for ticking players, by the way.
