Hi everyone, i hope to get help here as i have been very unsuccessful in other places.

 

My question is simple.

 

For example: How do I make a cow drop a custom item i have made, without editing the core files of minecraft. Be gentle, im not an advanced coder, but dont be afrade to explain indepth, im not stupid either

 

thanks

 

 

EDIT: I found something about reflectionhelper?

an example would be greate with a little explanation added too so i can learn thanks ^.^

if you know how to use events, there is a LivingDeathEvent, which you can use to add drops on death (i think it lets you but not sure exactly)

oops, LivingDropsEvent is the one you want

haha ok, thanks ^.^ will look into that and see if i can make it work. Like i said, not to good at java... meh, who am i kidding, im hopeless. but isnt that code for the player only?

When any living entity dies the LivingDropsEvent is called

Living entities include mobs and the player, the entity variable tells you what entity died

ahh right right. i get it. so this is kinda an indirect way of GIVING the entity it list of thigs to do without actualy changing its base file... riite.

 

I hate to be a pain, and trust me when i say im not one of thoes "do it for me" people. but do you know any tutorials on this, or resources i can check to see how it works =D

 

thanks for the help though. its a push off the correct side of the building

here is one on how to use forge events in general:

ooooo nice... i will give it a shot *loads .45*

 

thanks ^.^

glad to be of help , now if only my mod didn't have problems that aren't so easely fixable 

ok... this is not working. i dont know enough about java and how it works to do what i want to do with this thing. would it be possible for someone to msn me or whatever and help me with this little project of mine. Im not asking to do it for me, but show me how to do it and teach me. I realy want to learn but alot of tutorials are not easy for me to follow.

Thanks

ok, am going through this mod as fast as a leper horse and hit a wall. I can not, for the life of me, find a tutorial or get someone to help me or give me an example on how to make a vanilla mob drop a custom made item. pretty please can someone just make a quick example for me on, sa, for example, a pig dropping a custom item of any kind. I can follow all tutorials on how to do many things with ease, but not this. cant find anything accept layouts which dont help. so an example i think is what will get me back up on my feet please

 

thanks in advance for the help
