Solved Determine PlayerMoveEvent cause is knockback?

How do i determine a PlayerMoveEvent is fired due to being hit (knockback)? Will EntityDamageByEntityEvent and PlayerMoveEvent be triggered at the same tick?

 

@RcExtract
Well if you know they will be moved if hit, why not just use the EntityDamageByEntityEvent and not use the move event

 

Use EntityDamageByEntityEvent and check if the attacker#getItemInHand().getEnchantment() is equal to knockback or something along those lines

 

Because i want to know location of the player after being hit

 

@RcExtract
You can, get the player and do p.getLocation(), or do a bukkit scheduler to run 1 or 2 seconds later and then get the location so that'll be when they're moved, or when the damage event is triggered add the player to a list and then on move event check if the player is in the list if so get the location and etc then remove them from the list

 

Items without knockback enchantment, even fist, can deal knockback to an entity, so i think the enchantment is not related.

Thanks. But how can i guarantee the first PlayerMoveEvent after an EntityDamageByEntityEvent with the same entity is caused by knockback?

 

This is how I'd personally go about it —

1. Listen to the EntityDamageByEntityEvent
2. Add the player into a list
3. Listen for the PlayerMoveEvent
4. Ensure the player is in the list
5. Ensure the player is actually on the ground
6. The Player's Location should essentially be where it lands after being hit.

You may need to tweak a couple of things with the scheduler.
