Checking if entity is player when creating portal returning null

I'm checking if an entity which creates a portal is a player, but this always returns null, I'm going crazy

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onRcPortalCheck(PortalCreateEvent e) {


        if(e.getEntity() instanceof Player) {
       
            Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Done");
            if(this.plugin.portals.containsKey(p.getUniqueId())) {
               
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("done 2");
                this.plugin.portals.put(p.getUniqueId(), this.plugin.portals.get(p.getUniqueId()) + 1);
               
            }
            else {
               
                Bukkit.broadcastMessage("not in the list");
               
            }
   
    }
        else {
           
            Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Not a player");
           
        }
    }

Event is registered in the main class!

 

@Minesuchtiiii Where exactly do you get null?
EDIT: I'm not sure about this but maybe 'PortalCreateEvent#getEntity()' could return null.

 

returning null at e.getEntity() instanceof Player

 

@Minesuchtiiii At that line or inside that scope? If it's at that line then i have no clue, doing "Object instanceof Class" should just return false if the object is null.

 

In that close, I always use this method to check if the entity is a player before I cast, in other events it works just fine

 

@Minesuchtiiii I see, it makes sense now. In that case i think 'plugin' or 'portals' (plugin.portals) is null.

 

I debugged those and it's nothing wrong with them. I start thinking that .getEntity() in the event returns null no matter what

 

Try this:

Code:

Block block = e.getBlocks().get(0);
Player p = ExtractPlayerFromLocation(block.getLocation());

 

@Minesuchtiiii But if that was the case, you would get the message "Not a player" all the time.
EDIT: Do you get a NullPointerException or is something simply null? What debug messages do you get?

 

It's just a "null" error message.

I'll give it a try

 

Where do you print the message that says "null"?

 

It's in the console, not my debug message but the standart stacktrace

 

@Minesuchtiiii Could you post the stacktrace?

 

I removed the code as I decided not to use it, but it was a NullPointerException at the line where I check if the entity is a player

 

@Minesuchtiiii I see, but i wanted to see the rest of the stacktrace because it might show what exactly was causing the NullPointerException.
