set9753

I should clarify, I've been spaghetti coding my way through this mod. And at one point thought I had to make a SwordItem to make the on hit effect work. I've since deleted the sword item, but kept the class and all. So I just made the SwordItem class extend the Item class. I only have the item, and assumed by extending Item via SwordItem's class I could achieve the effect I wanted (an item that could boost others by whacking them with it) Would it be worth my time to just rewrite all the code into the Item class, and remove the Sworditem class? Or would it work the way I have it now? Everything seems to be turning out, I pretty much just want to know if the hitEntity effect will work out. (Once I finish this, the mod is done. I wont be adding onto it, so don't worry about my odd coding being a bother for later additions)

Thank you, so much for the explanations! I just have a few more questions to tie this together, if you don't mind... I have the class ItemSword extending Item, and the item I want to use to boost on hit is made as an Item... Does the extension mean this will work? If I wanted to add more than one potion effect, how would I go about that?

When I try to use that, I get an error reading "Syntax error on token "Invalid Character", delete this token. The code looks like this, I know it's wrong, but I'm really stuck here. public class ItemSword { PotionEffect effect; public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack stack, EntityLivingBase target, EntityLivingBase attacker, EntityLivingBase#addPotionEffect) { stack.damageItem(0, attacker); return true; } }

Three, to be specific. Speed 1, Strength 1, and Fire Resistance 1. For 8 seconds.

One last question... What code do I use, specifically, to add the effect to the attack?

Where does this code go? In the main file for the mod items? Or in some kind of new class for the modded item's effects? I should note, I've only recently started modding. I've only managed to spaghetti code the item into the game as is. (I used TechnoVision's youtube series to get started.) If it helps, I could share the source file? It's not like I'm worried about the idea being stolen

I'm trying to add an on hit effect to a "Sword" and remove it's damage. How and where would I do such a thing? Edit: I actually hope to add more than just one effect to the strike.

Starting off, I'm currently trying to mod in 1.7.10 if that changes any of this... But I've been looking all over for solutions to this issue and none of them have worked.
