Any suggestions as to what to do to fix this?

 

Erm, I am "him" xD I'm just getting this error and wondering how I can fix it?

 

Hmmmm you see I have this in my code -

Code (Text):

if (((Projectile) damager).getShooter() instanceof Player) {
                    attacker = (Player) ((Projectile) damager).getShooter();
                    attackerUUID = attacker.getUniqueId();

                    if (MurgeData.isPurge()) {
                        if (!StatsHandler.inSpectators(attackerUUID)) {
                            if (!StatsHandler.inCombatLog(victimUUID)) {
                                StatsHandler.addCombatLog(victimUUID,
                                        attackerUUID);
                                StringMethods.sendMessage((String) Murge.mMap
                                        .getStat(MessagesValues.INCOMBAT),
                                        victim);
                                StringMethods.sendMessage((String) Murge.mMap
                                        .getStat(MessagesValues.INCOMBAT),
                                        attacker);
                            }
                        } else {
                            StringMethods.sendMessage((String) Murge.mMap
                                    .getStat(MessagesValues.SPECTATE_NOPVP),
                                    attacker);
                            event.setCancelled(true);
                        }
                    } else {
                        if (!MiscCollection.isPVPAllowed()) {
                            StringMethods.sendMessage((String) Murge.mMap
                                    .getStat(MessagesValues.PVPNOTALLOWED),
                                    attacker);
                            event.setCancelled(true);
                        }
                    }
                }
            } else if (((Projectile) damager).getShooter() instanceof Skeleton) {
                if (!MiscCollection.mobDamageCountAsCombat()) {
                    if (!StatsHandler.inCombatLog(victimUUID)) {
                        StatsHandler.addCombatLog(victimUUID, null);
                        StringMethods.sendMessage((String) Murge.mMap
                                .getStat(MessagesValues.INCOMBAT), victim);
                    }
                }

So erm I'm not casting the LightningStrike directly. I don't understand why this would be throwing errors

 

I know sorry just seeing if anyone could throw a starting point as to what to look out for

 

Line 137 is this -

Code (Text):

        } else if (((Projectile) damager).getShooter() instanceof Skeleton) {

 

I did that here D: -

Code (Text):

    } else if (damager instanceof Projectile) {

 

And the error was correct. Thank you for pointing this out. Even the most simple things can break everything. Turns out I just needed to but the code in another block. Thank you!
