Help with creating a shooting entity.

[ZapterX]

I am creating a gun mod and I have almost everything set except the guns do not shoot, because I do not know how to make a projectile launch on a left click with an item.

 

Thanks in advance,

Thank you, but I have never codded a gun before and wanted to know if you could provide a more specific example.

Where is the code for it? I've been searching in the src.

[ZapterX]

It says source not found when the files are in the correct locations.

[ZapterX]

No I have not, would I do that in the command prompt?

I tried running that in gradlew.bat but it would not allow me to type, it auto closed.

This is from the snowball class and might be what your looking for. Just put this in your class for the gun. You probably need to change this around because whenever you right click, the gun dissapears too.

 

    /**

    * Called whenever this item is equipped and the right mouse button is pressed. Args: itemStack, world, entityPlayer

    */

    public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World, EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer)

    {

        if (!par3EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode)

        {

            --par1ItemStack.stackSize;

        }

 

        par2World.playSoundAtEntity(par3EntityPlayer, "random.bow", 0.5F, 0.4F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));

 

        if (!par2World.isRemote)

        {

            par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntitySnowball(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));

        }

 

        return par1ItemStack;

    }

Here's a tutorial that I found out to come in handy with creating a rifle/gun.
