I'm working on a mod with bows and I want each one to start having faster drawback times. Does anybody know how to do this?

Look at the ItemBow class ?

Look at the ItemBow class ?

I did and nothing I think its in the Bow EnumAction or something

It is an hardcoded value.

It is an hardcoded value.

Ik somehow it can be done the More Bows mod has it

Yes, you just have to override the main method with a copy and replace the values where needed.

Do you know which value is it? I'm guessing it's:

int j = this.getMaxItemUseDuration(par1ItemStack) - par4;
float f = (float)j / 20.0F;

Looks like this is it

Looks like this is it

When i change the value it just shoots nothing no difference in drawback:

public void onPlayerStoppedUsing(ItemStack itemStack, World world, EntityPlayer player, int par4) {

        int j = getMaxItemUseDuration(itemStack) - par4;

        ArrowLooseEvent event = new ArrowLooseEvent(player, itemStack, j);
        MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.post(event);
        
        if (event.isCanceled()) {
        	
            return;
            
        }
        
        j = event.charge;

        boolean flag = player.capabilities.isCreativeMode || EnchantmentHelper.getEnchantmentLevel(Enchantment.infinity.effectId, itemStack) > 0;

        if (flag || player.inventory.hasItem(Item.arrow.itemID)) {
        	
            float f = (float)j / 20.0F;
            f = (f * f + f * 2.0F) / 3.0F;

            if ((double)f < 0.1D) {
            	
                return;
                
            }

            if (f > 1.0F) {
            	
                f = 1.0F;
                
            }

            EntityArrow entityArrow = new EntityArrow(world, player, f * 2.0F);

            if (f == 1.0F) {
            	
                entityArrow.setIsCritical(true);
                
            }

            int k = EnchantmentHelper.getEnchantmentLevel(Enchantment.power.effectId, itemStack);

            if (k > 0) {
            	
                entityArrow.setDamage(entityArrow.getDamage() + (double)k * 0.5D + 0.5D);
                
            }

            int l = EnchantmentHelper.getEnchantmentLevel(Enchantment.punch.effectId, itemStack);

            if (l > 0) {
            	
                entityArrow.setKnockbackStrength(l);
                
            }

            if (EnchantmentHelper.getEnchantmentLevel(Enchantment.flame.effectId, itemStack) > 0) {
            	
                entityArrow.setFire(100);
                
            }

            itemStack.damageItem(1, player);
            world.playSoundAtEntity(player, "random.bow", 1.0F, 1.0F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 1.2F) + f * 0.5F);

            if (flag) {
            	
                entityArrow.canBePickedUp = 2;
                
            }
            else {
            	
                player.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(Item.arrow.itemID);
                
            }

            if (!world.isRemote) {
            	
                world.spawnEntityInWorld(entityArrow);
                
            }
            
        }
        
    }

float f = (float)j / 20.0F;

You didn't change anything...

float f = (float)j / 20.0F;

You didn't change anything...

I changed it back

If you want the visibility of the bow to draw faster, try changing when the bow texture changes.

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    /**
     * Gets the Icon Index of the item currently held

    public Icon getItemIcon(ItemStack par1ItemStack, int par2)
    {
        Icon icon = super.getItemIcon(par1ItemStack, par2);

        if (par1ItemStack.itemID == Item.fishingRod.itemID && this.fishEntity != null)
        {
            icon = Item.fishingRod.func_94597_g();
        }
        else
        {
            if (par1ItemStack.getItem().requiresMultipleRenderPasses())
            {
                return par1ItemStack.getItem().getIcon(par1ItemStack, par2);
            }

            if (this.itemInUse != null && par1ItemStack.itemID == Item.bow.itemID)
            {
                int j = par1ItemStack.getMaxItemUseDuration() - this.itemInUseCount;

                if (j >= 18)
                {
                    return Item.bow.getItemIconForUseDuration(2);
                }

                if (j > 13)
                {
                    return Item.bow.getItemIconForUseDuration(1);
                }

                if (j > 0)
                {
                    return Item.bow.getItemIconForUseDuration(0);
                }
            }
            icon = par1ItemStack.getItem().getIcon(par1ItemStack, par2, this, itemInUse, itemInUseCount);
        }

        return icon;
    }

 

I found the above code in the EntityPlayer class. But that is not where you can edit it. Since you are wanting this for custom bows, that method should be like this:

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    /**
     * Gets the Icon Index of the item currently held
     */
    public Icon getItemIcon(ItemStack par1ItemStack, int par2)
    {
                int j = par1ItemStack.getMaxItemUseDuration() - this.itemInUseCount;

                if (j >= 18)
                {
                    return Item.bow.getItemIconForUseDuration(2);
                }

                if (j > 13)
                {
                    return Item.bow.getItemIconForUseDuration(1);
                }

                if (j > 0)
                {
                    return Item.bow.getItemIconForUseDuration(0);
                }
        return icon;
    }

 

Also, it would be a good idea to change it to the bowPull array directly, seeing as you can access it directly.

 

I hope you get the drift of what to do

I've done this and thats not exactly what im talking about. I decided to give up on this because I think its a value that can't be changed
