[solved] problem with given player potion effects when on a block

[happyPenguin]

hey I'm having a small problem in 1.6 when given a player the poison potion effect when they stand on my block.

 

This did work before the 1.6 update.

 

The EntityCollidedWithBlock method code:

/**
     * Triggered whenever an entity collides with this block (enters into the block). Args: world, x, y, z, entity
     */       
    public void onEntityCollidedWithBlock(World world, int var2, int var3, int var4, Entity entity)
    {
                entity.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.generic, 100);
                ((EntityLivingBase)entity).addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.poison.id, 160, 0));
    }

 

The error:

 

java.lang.ClassCastException: net.minecraft.client.particle.EntitySpellParticleFX cannot be cast to net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase

if(entity instanceof EntityLivingBase) {

  //your code

}

my mistake was using

 

if (entity instanceof EntityLiving)

 

thank you for the help

Always check for the type you're casting to.
