Other

I was trying to add support for %entitytype% on Skript-Packet ExprNMS But when I execute the command nms of pig it return null.

protected Object @NotNull [] get(@NotNull Event e) {
        final Object obj = expr.getSingle(e);
        System.out.println("obj = " + obj); // output null when trying %entitytype%

This is likely trying to use an event-entity and converting it to an entitytype. However, whatever event-entity is provided is not a pig, so pig is not set. Therefore, its entity type is also not set.

I would think this is a bug, but I'm not sure how to properly address it. Perhaps (i can't find it right now) the issue/pr suggesting that we force the use of event- would solve this confusion, but again, not sure if that's an appropriate response.
Would love more opinions.
