First things first, I have two classes (EntityTear.class and EntityThrowable.class) which I coppied straight from the Minecraft src, EntityTear was EntitySnowball. I've been looking through the 2 classes and can't figure out a way to limit how fast the item is used. What I want is maybe a second delay inbetween each item use so the entity is fired slower. My code:

 

EntityTear.class:

package tbos.entity.projectile;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;
import net.minecraft.util.DamageSource;
import net.minecraft.util.MovingObjectPosition;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import tbos.player.Stats;

public class EntityTear extends EntityThrowable
{

    public EntityTear(World par1World)
    {
        super(par1World);
    }

    public EntityTear(World par1World, EntityLivingBase par2EntityLivingBase)
    {
        super(par1World, par2EntityLivingBase);
    }

    public EntityTear(World par1World, double par2, double par4, double par6)
    {
        super(par1World, par2, par4, par6);
    }

    /**
     * Called when this EntityThrowable hits a block or entity.
     */
    protected void onImpact(MovingObjectPosition par1MovingObjectPosition)
    {
        if (par1MovingObjectPosition.entityHit != null)
        {
            float Damage = Stats.DAMAGE;

            

            par1MovingObjectPosition.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, this.getThrower()), (float)Damage);
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i)
        {
            this.worldObj.spawnParticle("snowballpoof", this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);
        }

        if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {
            this.setDead();
        }
    }
}

Secondly, I'm looking for a way to increase or decrease the player walking speed and maybe possibly stop the player from being able to run. If I can't stop the player running, maybe also limit the running speed. If anyone has any ideas about any of these issues, I would greatly appreciate some help. Many thanks, Tom.

I don't have any useful input about the projectile rate yet (hopefully that changes when I get to the "Skeleton Machinegun" part of my "Ultrasoftcore" mod project), but after reading your second question, I took a look at the code for the soul sand block. It's not much, but it might give you a starting point.

 

public void onEntityCollidedWithBlock(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, Entity par5Entity)

    {

        par5Entity.motionX *= 0.4D;

        par5Entity.motionZ *= 0.4D;

    }

}

Override:

/**
     * How long it takes to use or consume an item
     */
    public int getMaxItemUseDuration(ItemStack par1ItemStack)
    {
        return 0;//change that
    }

Thanks! I have successfully got the speed variables working!

    public int getMaxItemUseDuration(ItemStack par1ItemStack)
    {

Can you maybe explain what I have to change that to? If so, I think it may work!

I added that code to my ItemTear.class and changed 'return 0;' to 'return 32' but it doesn't seem to change anything, any idea what's wrong?

Then we set the item in use on right click.

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack stack, World world, EntityPlayer entityPlayer)
{
        entityPlayer.setItemInUse(stack, this.getMaxItemUseDuration(stack));
        return stack;
}

Then

@Override
public void onPlayerStoppedUsing(ItemStack stack, World world, EntityPlayer entityPlayer, int amountUsed)
{
//do things...
if (!world.isRemote)
    {
        world.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityTear(world, entityPlayer));
    }
}

Then we set the item in use on right click.

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack stack, World world, EntityPlayer entityPlayer)
{
        entityPlayer.setItemInUse(stack, this.getMaxItemUseDuration(stack));
        return stack;
}

Then

@Override
public void onPlayerStoppedUsing(ItemStack stack, World world, EntityPlayer entityPlayer, int amountUsed)
{
//do things...
if (!world.isRemote)
    {
        world.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityTear(world, entityPlayer));
    }
}

 

That doesn't seem to do what I want it to do What I want is for when the player hold right click, it constantly fires the projectile but with a certain delay in-between each fire. With the code you suggested, when holding right click, it doesn't fire a projectile. I might have added the code wrong, so again, any help would be appreciated.

Then make your own timer.

@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack stack, World world, EntityPlayer entityPlayer)
{
        if(time<limit)
{
time++;
}
else
{
//do things
}
        return stack;
}
