[1.7.10]How to add PotionEffect(s) to custom armor

[pickaxe_engineer]

Hi there

 

This little trick gives you the abillity to customize your armor even more!

 

 

Go to your armor class and override the following method:

 

public void onArmorTick(World world, EntityPlayer player, ItemStack armorPiece)

 

This method is called on every tick, the armor is weared. Insert in the method's body whatever you want. Maybe quick test if its really you're armor piece or whether the armor is complete.

 

After you'd wrote those lines of code, you want to add the potion effect (or several):

 

Insert the following line of code and adapt it to fit you're wishes:

 

player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect( potionID, duration, amplifier));

 

A little explanatation:

- potionID is the ID of the potion you want. You find this ID either by search through the wiki or by (in eclipse) typing 'Potion.' and let auto complete do its stuff.

- duration is the amount of ticks the potion will affect the player for. (I usually use 0, to hide the potion effect bubbles(=particles) ). Remeber: 1tick = 1/20 second

- amplifier stands for the effect level. As usual this amplifier begins with 0 to indicate the 'base' level of a potion effect.

 

The following code snipped is an example where the PotionEffect 'Speed II' is added to the player:

player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.moveSpeed.id, 0, 1));

 

If you wish to add several effects, repeat the addPotionEffect as often as you want.

 

 

 

Since this is my first post, I hope it fits to the rules and may I could help you.

Happy coding!
