How would I make it so when you right click a sword shoots lightning

How would I make it so when you right click a sword shoots lightning  what i mean by this is how would i make a sword shoot lightning straight ahead of the player. if someone would not mind showing me the code that would be great.

You would need a new entity to handle the lightning.  The native lightning entity arcs down from the sky.

What if I wanted it to make it shoot a fireball like a fire charge how would i do that.  p.s thank you for helping me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open EntityGhast and copy-paste.

[BigDaveNz]

Yeah, Draco is right, EntityGhast is a great example of a fireball, and for that matter, how the fireball  is "fired". Lightning is a little bit harder. You could use create your own custom tile entity based on the EntityLightningBolt class, and creating the tile entity much like a ghast fireball is, except with onItemRightClick() firing the bolt at the targeted entity.

Regular entity, not tile entity.

this is the only part of the code i found with a reference to fireball

 

 

public boolean attackEntityFrom(DamageSource par1DamageSource, float par2)

    {

        if (this.isEntityInvulnerable())

        {

            return false;

        }

        else if ("fireball".equals(par1DamageSource.getDamageType()) && par1DamageSource.getEntity() instanceof EntityPlayer)

        {

            super.attackEntityFrom(par1DamageSource, 1000.0F);

            ((EntityPlayer)par1DamageSource.getEntity()).triggerAchievement(AchievementList.ghast);

            return true;

        }

        else

        {

            return super.attackEntityFrom(par1DamageSource, par2);

        }

    }

 

but how would i make the fireball shoot out of the  sword thanks you for helping me

So you missed this section, line 155

 

                if (this.attackCounter == 20)
                {
                    this.worldObj.playAuxSFXAtEntity((EntityPlayer)null, 1008, (int)this.posX, (int)this.posY, (int)this.posZ, 0);
                    EntityLargeFireball entitylargefireball = new EntityLargeFireball(this.worldObj, this, d5, d6, d7);
                    entitylargefireball.field_92057_e = this.explosionStrength;
                    double d8 = 4.0D;
                    Vec3 vec3 = this.getLook(1.0F);
                    entitylargefireball.posX = this.posX + vec3.xCoord * d8;
                    entitylargefireball.posY = this.posY + (double)(this.height / 2.0F) + 0.5D;
                    entitylargefireball.posZ = this.posZ + vec3.zCoord * d8;
                    this.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(entitylargefireball);
                    this.attackCounter = -40;
                }

 

Nice searching there, chummer.

[ClarmonkGaming]

so i would do

 

onItemRightClick() this.worldObj.playAuxSFXAtEntity((EntityPlayer)null, 1008, (int)this.posX, (int)this.posY, (int)this.posZ, 0);

                    EntityLargeFireball entitylargefireball = new EntityLargeFireball(this.worldObj, this, d5, d6, d7);

                    entitylargefireball.field_92057_e = this.explosionStrength;

                    double d8 = 4.0D;

                    Vec3 vec3 = this.getLook(1.0F);

                    entitylargefireball.posX = this.posX + vec3.xCoord * d8;

                    entitylargefireball.posY = this.posY + (double)(this.height / 2.0F) + 0.5D;

                    entitylargefireball.posZ = this.posZ + vec3.zCoord * d8;

                    this.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(entitylargefireball);

                    this.attackCounter = -40;
