[1.15.2] LivingDeathEvent TrueSource giving NullPointerException

[Z_Builder]

Hi, I am having problems when trying to get the name of the item used to kill mobs. In my testing (see attached image) getSource is working but getTrueSource and getHeldEquipment is not. What do I need to do to get this working?

Hi

Most likely, if trueSource or heldEquipment is null, it means "not relevant".

eg the entity which caused the damage wasn't holding anything.

 

In which case you should check for null first and do some kind of default if it's null

 

Or have I misunderstood your question?

the issue is this is returning the error when I am holding something.

I want to use this field to determine when a mob is killed by a specific weapon, if the death doesn't involve the specific weapon i can ignore it.

Thanks for pointing that out.... looks like my real problem is the item held is an array (as returns the off hand also)... I have got it working now THANKS ?
