Getting a Player from an Interaction

[Penguin]

Hi !

I’m a newbie on Sponge and I’d like to develop a plugin that will use a lock system. For the algorithm I thought about, I would need to browse the inventory of the player to get a few informations, but doing so requires getting a Player object from the event, is there a way to do this?

Thank you !

You need to get the event cause. There is 2 examples over here

How to use the Death Event

Like in other events you can query the cause for certain types. To see if a player caused the death, you do: @Listener public void onEntityDeath(DestructEntityEvent.Death event) { Optional<Player> optPlayer = event.getCause().first(Player.class); if (optPlayer.isPresent()) { Player player = optPlayer.get(); // The player caused the entity to die } else { // The entity died from a non-player cause } } You can also use the new event filtering @Listener p…

On a related note the inventory api isn’t ready so you’re going to hit a brick wall until it’s been implemented.
