I don't know what I'm doing wrong (Sorry if I'm being terribly ignorant or annoying) but it's not adding a delay and if I go into survival it uses 2 of the item when I click once. public class ItemMagicPotato extends Item { private final int cooldown = 200; public ItemMagicPotato(int par1) { super(par1); this.maxStackSize = 8; } @Override public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer) { if(par3EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode||par3EntityPlayer.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(MagicElementsMod.magicpotato.itemID)) { NBTTagCompound nbt = par1ItemStack.getTagCompound(); if(nbt == null) { nbt = new NBTTagCompound(); par1ItemStack.setTagCompound(nbt); } int delay = nbt.getInteger("delay"); if(delay == 0) { if (!par2World.isRemote) { par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityMagicPotato(par2World, par3EntityPlayer)); } par1ItemStack.stackSize--; delay = cooldown; } } return par1ItemStack; } @Override public void onUpdate(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, Entity par3Entity, int par4, boolean par5) { NBTTagCompound nbt = par1ItemStack.getTagCompound(); if(nbt == null) { nbt = new NBTTagCompound(); par1ItemStack.setTagCompound(nbt); } int delay = nbt.getInteger("delay"); if(delay > 0) { delay--; nbt.setInteger("delay", delay); } } public boolean hasEffect(ItemStack par1ItemStack) { return true; } }

i've pasted the line there but now it throws two entities? I right click once and it throws two at a half second interval between.

Sorry, im must be blind lol

If I use the second set of code, where do I put the spawn entity?

Well thanks, Ill try putting it in the code and ask if any problems occur.

what does this delay method look like lol sorry. oh and I modified my comment above if you know how to fix the second part too?

also do you know how to add a delay so you cant spam right click the item and make the entity come out of my hand and not my face?

Well i figured it out. I used render fireball. But now the problem is that when i throw it, the entity is like 50x the normal size. How do I make it smaller?

I've used that tutorial to make an item which shoots a custom entity. I'm not sure how to make the item shoot an entity which looks exactly like the item. That tutorial explains how to make an item, like a bow, which shoots a different projectile. I'm looking to make a snowball type item.

I was wondering how to make an entity look like the item used to throw it. (Just like a snowball) I copied the rendersnowball class but it didn't really work. What code would I use to do this?

I was rushing so I didn't bother looking it over but thanks and no it's not mean lol.

I have a picture but I don't get how to use the insert image.

It seems to appear on random living entities. But only one at a time. And how do I use this insert image thing? lol

I've already made a render class for the bullet. It works fine and looks like I want it to. When I shoot it fires and does damage and interacts with mobs. I've registered it in the proxy. But when I look down and shoot the white rectangle flashes.

When I aim at the ground and shoot the gun I made, a large rectangle, the same color as the entity (bullet) just flashes in front of my view. In third person I can see it's roughly 4 blocks wide and 3 high. Completely flat. How can I fix this?

Thanks

How would I set the lifespan of an entity so after lets say 30 ticks it would disappear?

Which sections of dynamic lighting should I be looking at? I know I would have to create an updater to make the light emitted follow me but since the mod has several different light emitting things, I'm not sure where to look.

I would like to create an item that when right clicked with, it will start to light up the area around you.(Like a lantern) What would I need to put into the onRightClick method to make it switch between the off item and on item? Also how do you add a light value to an item?

Yes, I put this in my main class: @EventHandler public void init(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) { RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityThrowableItem.class, new RenderThrowableItem()); } And made the render class for it. And a question. Are all three of these classes (the item, entity and render) just taking the items image and using it for the entity then rendering it?

I don't know, I copied exactly what the forum post said - didn't work. Copied exactly what you had - still didn't work.

i made a couple of items which I thought would be interesting to make them throwable. I just copied the snowball item and entity classes and adjusted the item class line: -par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntitySnowball(par2World, par3EntityPlayer)); No errors occur but when I right click, no entity appears. It does hit mobs. What do I have to add to make the entity appear?
