I want to make my mob only able to be damaged by a player using a particular weapon, however when testing, no weapons do any damage.

 

Method:

public boolean attackEntityFrom(DamageSource par1DamageSource, float par2)

    {

        Entity entity = this.attackingPlayer;

        if(entity instanceof EntityPlayer)

        {

        if(mc.thePlayer.getHeldItem() == new ItemStack(MyMod.Knife))

        {

        return true;

        }

        else return false;

        }

        else return false;

    }

Maybe you need to call DamageEntity() in EntityLivingBase, not just return true.

And you could see the code of EntityLivingBase for more information.

Thanks, I'll have a look into that

Hi

 

Your function never returns true because

if(mc.thePlayer.getHeldItem() == new ItemStack(MyMod.Knife))

is never true.  getHeldItem is a different object to the new ItemStack even if they are identical.

 

try instead

if(mc.thePlayer.getHeldItem().itemID == MyMod.Knife.itemID))

Thanks for that, got it working now
