OnEntityDamage, and obtaining a player.

Sooo, in an attempt to fake an onPlayerDeath kind of hook, I've done the following:

Code:

	public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageEvent event) {
		if (!(event.getEntity() instanceof Player)) return;
		Player damaged = (Player) event.getEntity();
		if (!event.isCancelled() &&  event.getDamage() >= damaged.getHealth()){
			rTriggers.log.info("Player dead.");
			onEntityDeath(event);
		}
	}

Only nothing seems to be getting past the first line in the function. That is, I'm not getting instances of players. I am having instances of LivingEntities show up. The trigger doesn't seem to be happening when a player is hit, or something. Am I doing things wrong? I don't want to file a bug report if I'm just misunderstanding something. =S

an argument about the accuracy of (entity instanceof Player)

 

Check for human entity?
