Solved Entity Damager

I am making a plugin that shoots an arrow from a player when they fire a gun. When the arrow hits an entity, specifically a zombie, I want to play an effect at the arrows location but in the EntityDamageByEntityEvent, event.getDamager() seems to return the player and not the arrow. How can I find the arrow I shot?

Can you post your code? It could help.

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onEntityDamageByEntity(EntityDamageByEntityEvent event) {
  if (event.getEntity() instanceof Zombie) {
    Zombie zombie = (Zombie) event.getEntity();
    Location loc = event.getDamager().getLocation(); // returns player location not arrow location
    p.getPlayer().playEffect(loc, Effect.STEP_SOUND, 152);
  }
}

I could just be tired, but I think you are getting the location of the wrong entity. Try replacing this

Code:java

Location loc = event.getDamager().getLocation(); //This was getting the player who hit the entity's location

With this

Code:java

Location loc = event.getEntity().getLocation(); //This will get the entity that got damaged location
