How to detect NPC?

Hello!

I need to detect if damaged entity is NPC (not a Player, not any kind of mob). Please help me: how I can do it?

 

Check if it's a HumanEntity, but not a Player maybe?

 

NPCs are human entitites

You'd usually hook into a specific NPC plugin (it's usually Citizens) and check using its API if it is really a NPC, other than that you could try (world.getOnlinePlayers().contains(player)) <= The npc's aren't on bukkit's online player list ;D

 

if your using the npclib use:

plugin.NPCManager.isNPC(entity);

 

How are you creating the NPC?

 

Hello!

Thank you for support. I will try all solutions as soon as I can.

I did not creating NPC, I need to check if player is npc to prevent damaging or item dropping from NPC. In our server installed Citizens plugin and sometimes it conflicting with our other plugins. For example, headshots provided by MonsterFix plugin, are allowing players to farm helms from NPC.

I think world.getOnlinePlayers().contains(player) will be best solution (Same idea also came to my mind today while I could not get to Eclipse )

 

I know this thread is about targeting the NPC, It would help me help you however if I know how you created/spawned the NPC.
