How to make mob apply potion effect. [Code not working]

[HappleAcks]

I currently have the following code, but my mob doesn't apply potion effects when it hits you.

 

@Override
public boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity par1)
{
	if (super.attackEntityAsMob(par1))
	{
		if (par1 instanceof EntityLiving)
		{
			((EntityLiving)par1).addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.blindness.id, 12 * 20, 0));
		}
		return true;
	} else
		return false;
}

I've also tried using EntityPlayer instead of EntityLiving but it just crashes the game when the mob hits me.

Try this.  I might have some of the syntax wrong as I'm doing this from memory.

 

 

 

 

@Override

public boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity par1) {

 

if (super.attackEntityAsMob(par1)) {

 

if (par1 instanceof EntityLiving) {

 

EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) par1;

 

if (player != null) {

 

player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.blindness.id, 12 * 20, 0));

 

return true;

 

}

 

}

 

} else {

 

return false;

 

}

If that entity attacks a non-player we will have issues.

@Override
   public boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity par1) {
   
      if (super.attackEntityAsMob(par1)) {
      
         if (par1 instanceof EntityPlayer ) {
         
            EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) par1;
            
            if (player != null) {
         
               player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.blindness.id, 12 * 20, 0));
               
               return true;
            
            }
            
         }
         
      } else {
      
         return false;
         
   }

 

ALSO EntityPlayer does NOT extend EntityLiving.

It will not have an issue if it attacks a non Player other than it won't apply the potion, but that seemed to be the goal from original post.

 

I have used this setup many times with zero issues.

Use EntityLivingBase if you want to affect players and mobs.

Use EntityLivingBase if you want to affect players and mobs.

Changing it to this worked, thank you!

This is your code:

      if (super.attackEntityAsMob(par1)) {
      
         if (par1 instanceof EntityLiving) {
         
            EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer) par1;
            
            if (player != null) {
         
               player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.blindness.id, 12 * 20, 0));
               
               return true;
            
            }
            
         }
         
      } else {
      
         return false;
         
   }

 

If par1 instanceof EntityLiving, par1; par1 CANNOT be cast to EntityPlayer as EntityPlayer does NOT extend EntityLiving.

Good point darty11.  I did have a typo in what I put up, forgot to change one of his variables.

 

After reading his posts, it looks like he wants it to be any living thing, so probably needs this.

 

 

 

 

@Override

  public boolean attackEntityAsMob(Entity par1) {

 

      if (super.attackEntityAsMob(par1)) {

     

        if (par1 instanceof EntityLivingBase) {

       

            EntityLivingBase e = (EntityLivingBase) par1;

           

            if (e != null) {

       

              e.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.blindness.id, 12 * 20, 0));

             

              return true;

           

            }

           

        }

       

      } else {

     

        return false;

       

  }
