Getting Damage cause

Hello I want custom death message for each damaage cause. One thing they dont work! Here is my code so far only the top one works but not the Lava one.

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onKill(PlayerDeathEvent e){
    String killed = e.getEntity().getName();
    String killer = e.getEntity().getKiller().getName();
    e.setDeathMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "[" + ChatColor.RED + "KitPvP" + ChatColor.AQUA + "]: " + ChatColor.YELLOW  + killed + " has been slain by " + killer);
    Bukkit.broadcastMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + "[KitPVP]: " + ChatColor.RED + killer + " Killed " + killed); 
    if(e.getEntity().getLastDamageCause().getCause() == DamageCause.LAVA) {
        Player p = e.getEntity();
        p.sendMessage("u died in lava test");
 
    }
    }

Error in console:

Please help

 

You cant assume that the cause of death is a entity and that the killer is a player.

 

Is this post suppose to help me?

 

dont want to make it too easy for ya. Have you tried debugging? I believe the problem is with

• String killer = e.getEntity().getKiller().getName();"

Play with it a little. You need to add null check to make sure that the value you are getting exits. See what you can do from there

 

There is a chance that a player's killer returns null. You can solve this by doing a null check.
