[1.7.10] Rideable Entity with custom left/right click

[MCRaichu]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum as well as minecraft modding and made my way through several tutorials. I create a custom rideable entity (a mech) and now I want to override the behaviour of the left and right mouse-button while a player is "riding" it. Basicly I want it to fire two different weapons.

My questions are:

- What is the "easiest/fastest" way of doing that? (I know it wont be easy)

- How should I implement the weapons?

- Are there any tutorials covering something related to that?

 

My first idea was to create an item like a "controller" which the player needs to hold in the hand an just use its onRightClick but thats not what i want...

 

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance,

I get the first part: register an eventhandler in the eventbus and there check if the player is riding and check for left/right click. what should/could I do about the weapon part?

Basically I have two ideas:

1.: Create a Gui which allows the player to insert range-weapons (bow or custom one) and use them

2.: just use the spawnEntityInWorld (like from the snowball) and fire something

 

the second idea would be the easiest i guess but the first one would allow more possibilities for the player. What do you think is the best decision?

I have a small problem. Since the mecha model has weapons on it (e.g. rocktelauncher on the shoulder) how do i achieve the displacement from the players position when a for example a bow is used?
