Solved Monsters don't have an instance of anything

Im using EntityDamageEvent to get the entity damaged, when i do

PHP:

$entity = $event->getEntity();
if($entity instanceof Zombie) var_dump(true);
else var_dump(false);

and it always says false

PHP:

bool(false)

is there any other way of getting the entity type?

 

Try this:

PHP:

public function onDamage(EntityDamageEvent $event){
        $entity = $event->getEntity();
        $event->setCancelled(true);
        if ($event instanceof EntityDamageByEntityEvent) {
            $damager = $event->getDamager();
            if ($damager instanceof Player) {
                if ($entity instanceof Zombie) {
                    $event->setCancelled(true);
                    $damager->sendMessage("Zombie");
                }
            }
        }
    }

 

didnt work

 

Have you imported the Zombie class? PHP's instanceof doesnt throw any errors if the class you are comparing the object with doesn't exist.

PHP:

use pocketmine\entity\Zombie;


You can add this to find the entity's class.

PHP:

var_dump(get_class($entity));
