Hey,

 

I started picking up minecraft modding recently and I wanted to get a weapon to apply a potion effect when it hits an entity, I looked around in ItemSword and found "hitEntity" So I tried the following (here is the whole class)

 

public class ItemStoneSpear extends ItemSword{

public ItemStoneSpear(ToolMaterial p_i45356_1_) {
	super(p_i45356_1_);
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

@Override
public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLivingBase par2EntityLivingBase, EntityLivingBase par3EntityLivingBase){
	par1ItemStack.damageItem(1, par3EntityLivingBase);
	par2EntityLivingBase.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.poison.getId(),100 , 1));
	return true;
}



}

 

But it doesn't work no matter what I try. So if someone could help me out i'd love it a ton

Please help him! I need this too.

Didn't know that there is an hitEntity function(would have used an onLivingUpdateEvent).

Please put some test output into the hit function and test if it is called when you hit something.

Yeah, the hitEntity function doesn't seem to be getting called;

how would I go about using onLivingUpdateEvent?
