Hello!

I am looking for a "Magic Damage Entity Event" similar to the EntityDamageByEntity event.
I simply couldnt find anything in the MagicAPI what covers my needs.

I need this event to combat tag players once they got hit by any type of magic.

thank you very much!

greetings

For the most part, you should not need a custom event. The damage will show up via the normal EDbE event with a ThrownPotion source, this can be treated like an other Projectile for resolving the damage source.

So basically I think if you just look for any instanceof Projectile in your damage event handler it should detect the player casting a spell. I use this helper method in my own code, if that's useful to you:

    public static Entity getSource(Entity entity) {
        if (entity instanceof Projectile) {
            ProjectileSource source = ((Projectile)entity).getShooter();
            if (source instanceof Entity) {
                entity = (Entity)source;
            }
        }

        return entity;

Let me know if you have any trouble!

Hey NathanWolf,

thank you for that blazing fast support! I will try that out.

I think my problem is that i cast the damager to an Arrow or other Projectile Types.

I will tell you if i get it to work :)

Hello NathanWolf,

it works like a charm now. My problem was that I checked for the damage cause Projectile instead of Magic. Which totally makes sense since your plugin is called "Magic" :D

Thank you very much. DeluxeCombat does now support Magic! :)

greetings

Thank you for taking the time to fix it! Users of both our plugins will be very appreciative :)

Take care.
