[1.12.2] Use Predicate with getClosestPlayer

[Seynox]

Hi!

I have a throwing entity that get the closest player where it landed. The problem is that i want it to ignore itself (this.getThrower), and itself

I guess it's more a Java problem than a Forge one but i don't understand how i can do it, so here's what i did (And it's not working because it's ticking itself (the throwing entity))

EntityPlayer thrower = (EntityPlayer) this.getThrower();
        	Predicate isThrower = Predicate.isEqual(thrower);

EntityPlayer nearplayer = world.getClosestPlayer(wherehit.getX(), wherehit.getY(), wherehit.getZ(), 25, (com.google.common.base.Predicate<Entity>) isThrower.negate());

No one?

Predicate is just a functional interface that takes a given argument and returns true or false. You can learn more about finctional interfaces and lambdas here

So in your case something like

e -> e != thrower && e != this

would work just fine.

 

Also don't bump, this is not a chat room. Your post is within the top 10 recent posts, there is no reason to bump it.
