[Server][Unsolved] AttackEntityEvent, is retreiving the Player possible?

[SurMjölk]

Hi!

 

I'm rather new to this, but I will try to be as straightforward as possible.

 

(I did read the rules -- But this code snippet isn't really so big I should have to upload it elsewhere, right?)

 

 

I'm developing a MCPC(Bukkit + Forge) server plugin.

    @ForgeSubscribe
     public void onAttackEntityEvent(AttackEntityEvent event){
    	
   
    	
    
    	
    	
    	Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("You hit something!");
    	
    }
   

   

 

My main question here is how I am to go about retrieving the player from this event. Right now it does not even broadcast any message. (I've imported the bukkit libraries aswell.)

 

What I want to do is import the Player(Attacker) from this event, and then use it in another method from a mod library. Then, I want to put the player in a scoreboard team.

 

Also, I think I need the obfuscated EntityPlayer, "sq".

 

Is this possible?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

SurMjölk

 

 

Important edit, or TL;DR Edit:

 

////////////

 

 

It's probably important to note that my main concern is not being able to retrive the player as "Sq player" or "EntityPlayer", which are two of what seems to be applicable players for the mod method I'm trying to use.

Just check if the attacking entity is not null (to make sure) and if it's an instanceof ENtityPlayer.

Hi and thank you for your reply!

 

I'm completely new to this. I could, however, do what you asked for already, from looking at code snippets I found over this help section forum

 

But! The problem is that I'm not sure how to define the player at all. And this whole obfuscation process confuses me, I'd like to learn more about it - If it is relevant to my problem. Could you maybe write me a sample code on how to handle what I asked for? That would be ace!

 

I know it's on a basic level but it's really this one thing I want to learn and I've been browsing for a soloution for quite a while today!

Instead of using forge events (which I don't know at all), you could use Bukkit events (which I do).

 

 

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.EntityDamageByEntityEvent;

@EventHandler
public void <whatever>(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
Player player = (Player) e.getDamager();
player.sendMessage("You hit something!"); // Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage() sends it to everyone
// Call to method from mod library here (attacker's data stored in variable "player")
}

 

 

Note that your class will have to implement org.bukkit.event.Listener. If you choose to place the listener in a different class to your main one, in the onEnable() function in your main class, you will need to add:

 

getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new <class name here>(), this);

 

This is how it is done in Bukkit, anyway. Not sure if it changes for ForgeBukkit.

Hi and thanks for your reply!

 

Unfournately I cannot do that, because:

 

a. Using the Bukkit class does not check for mod mob entities, or at least not the ones in the mod I am using. Is there a way to do this?

 

b. The method I want to use requires me to have the obfuscated "sq" Player. Can you get this through bukkit aswell? Because I get an error when I try to import the sq class.

[J15t98J]

a. Anything registered properly as an entity should fire that listener when you hit it. What mod is it?

 

b. What are you trying to do with it / do you need it for? And what method (from what library) is it?

[SurMjölk]

 

The mod is called LOTR mod.

 

 

a. Iit did broadcast something when I killed a cow but not an orc.

 

b. The mod has faction points. To return the value of a certain player, you'd want to use LOTRLevelData.getAlignment(player). I spoke to the mod author about this.

 

 

[J15t98J]

Mod author (Mevans) or mod author (someone else)?

[SurMjölk]

It's Mevans.

I can't find the API, link me please?

[SurMjölk]

Sorry, I was super tired and had school today so I went to sleep.

 

 

I Just reference the zip, the actual mod itself. http://www.mediafire.com/?won3tywkkul6oju

[J15t98J]

Sq is, as you said, the Player class. Just import org.bukkit.entity.Player (I think).

[SurMjölk]

I have done that ages ago, but the bukkit player class doesn't include sq as far as I am aware.

 

I'm pretty sure I tried going pure bukkit first but it didn't work.

Currently referencing the MCPC jar, seems to be the best way since you don't have to worry about duplicates.

[SurMjölk]

Is there nobody who can help me with this? Like, could someone declare it impossible without modfying the actual mod source?

I doubt it is though, I highly doubt that...

I don't recommend developing directly for MCPC+. Either do pure Bukkit or pure forge, in their proper environment. MCPC+ is not meant to be developed against, it's just there to run Bukkit plugins and forge mods side by side.

So first thing: Decide if you want a forge mod or a bukkit plugin. then go that route. Both will work with MCPC.

 

Hi. I like cameracraft. It's nice.

 

I guess I have to go forge then, since Bukkit cannot retrive "Sq" type players (EntityPlayer), and so I cannot use my desired method in Bukkit since it requires Sq.

 

Still, problem isn't solved.    This might help solving some stuff though.
