[1.8] Sword Projectile (Need Help)


Awesomeguy8802

Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I am making a Minecraft mod but I need help with something. I am making a lava sword and I want it so whenever you right click it shoots a small, lava projectile that sets a living entity on fire but I have no idea how to do that. If it is possible and you can help me with this it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

- Create new Entity extending either EntityThrowable or implementing IProjectile (1st one easier).

- Copy and learn from fireball/arrow/snowball entity code.

- Use ItemSword#onItemRightClick (i think) to shoot.

- In method (above) you will need to spawn entity in world (plenty of examples in vanilla code - eg. snowman shooting snowballs).

- The projectile shoots.

- Hits.

- BOOM - does something - now that something you should figure out how to write (by looking at arrow/fireball code), you need to make action on hit and e.g entityHit.setFire(2);

1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.

Where do I put the Use ItemSword#onItemRightClick? My code for the shooting part is here.

 

public void attackEntityWithRangedAttack(EntityLivingBase p_82196_1_, float p_82196_2_)

    {

  Use LavaSword#onItemRightClick;

    EntityLavaShot entitylavashot = new EntityLavaShot(this.worldObj, this);

  double d0 = p_82196_1_.posY + (double)p_82196_1_.getEyeHeight() - 1.100000023841858D;

  double d1 = p_82196_1_.posX - this.posX;

  double d2 = d0 - entitylavashot.posY;

    double d3 = p_82196_1_.posZ - this.posZ;

    float f1 = MathHelper.sqrt_double(d1 * d1 + d3 * d3) * 0.2F;

    entitylavashot.setThrowableHeading(d1, d2 + (double)f1, d3, 1.6F, 12.0F);

    this.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(entitylavashot);

  }

First off, Use is not command. Second off he means that you should override onItemRightClick on your Sword class.

If my post helped you, please press that "Thank You"-button to show your appreciation.

 

Also if you don't know Java, I would suggest you read the official tutorials by Oracle to get an idea of how to do this. Thanks, and good modding!

 

Also if you haven't, set up a Git repo for your mod not only for convinience but also to make it easier to help you.

How would I do that?

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

@OP See what Draco did there? He used the power of the internet to find information. You, too, are capable of harnessing that power, should you choose to do so.

 

Besides, Ernio already gave you all of the Minecraft-specific information you need to do what you asked, but your lack of Java knowledge is preventing you from implementing it. Please learn Java.

So I did it in my LavaSword class and this is my code but there is an error on the ItemSword in the @Override ItemSword#onItemRightClick. I also could get any this, posX, and posY statements to work unless I extended my LavaSword class from my EntityLavaShot class. I don't know if that is correct of if I'm putting things in the right classes.

 

@Override ItemSword#onItemRightClick

public void attackEntityWithRangedAttack(EntityLivingBase p_82196_1_, float p_82196_2_)

{

EntityLavaShot entitylavashot = new EntityLavaShot(this.worldObj, this);

double d0 = p_82196_1_.posY + (double)p_82196_1_.getEyeHeight() - 1.100000023841858D;

double d1 = p_82196_1_.posX - this.posX;

double d2 = d0 - entitylavashot.posY;

double d3 = p_82196_1_.posZ - this.posZ;

float f1 = MathHelper.sqrt_double(d1 * d1 + d3 * d3) * 0.2F;

entitylavashot.setThrowableHeading(d1, d2 + (double)f1, d3, 1.6F, 12.0F);

this.worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(entitylavashot);

}

... what the hell is that supposed to be?

 

PLEASE go learn Java. There is nothing we can do to help you at this point other than giving you the exact code, but it's such a very basic Java principle that you really shouldn't need it.

 

Stop modding (for now). Learn Java.

    • I'm using Modrinth as a launcher for a forge modpack on 1.20.1, and can't diagnose the issue on the crash log myself. Have tried repairing the Minecraft instillation as well as removing a few mods that have been problematic for me in the past to no avail. Crash log is below, if any further information is necessary let me know. Thank you! https://paste.ee/p/k6xnS
    • Hey folks. I am working on a custom "Mecha" entity (extended from LivingEntity) that the player builds up from blocks that should get modular stats depending on the used blocks. e.g. depending on what will be used for the legs, the entity will have a different jump strength. However, something unexpected is happening when trying to override a few of LivingEntity's functions and using my new own "Mecha" specific fields: instead of their actual instance-specific value, the default value is used (0f for a float, null for an object...) This is especially strange as when executing with the same entity from a point in the code specific to the mecha entity, the correct value is used. Here are some code snippets to better illustrate what I mean: /* The main Mecha class, cut down for brevity */ public class Mecha extends LivingEntity { protected float jumpMultiplier; //somewhere later during the code when spawning the entity, jumpMultiplier is set to something like 1.5f //changing the access to public didn't help @Override //Overridden from LivingEntity, this function is only used in the jumpFromGround() function, used in the aiStep() function, used in the LivingEntity tick() function protected float getJumpPower() { //something is wrong with this function //for some reason I can't correctly access the fields and methods from the instanciated entity when I am in one of those overridden protected functions. this is very annoying LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 0f return this.jumpMultiplier * super.getJumpPower(); } //The code above does not operate properly. Written as is, the entity will not jump, and adding debug logs shows that when executing the code, the value of this.jumpMultiplier is 0f //in contrast, it will be the correct value when done here: @Override public void tick() { super.tick(); //inherited LivingEntity logic //Custom logic LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 1.5f } } My actual code is slightly different, as the jumpMuliplier is stored in another object (so I am calling "this.legModule.getJumpPower()" instead of the float), but even using a simple float exactly like in the code above didn't help. When running my usual code, the object I try to use is found to be null instead, leading to a crash from a nullPointerException. Here is the stacktrace of said crash: The full code can be viewed here. I have found a workaround in the case of jump strength, but have already found the same problem for another parameter I want to do, and I do not understand why the code is behaving as such, and I would very much like to be able to override those methods as intended - they seemed to work just fine like that for vanilla mobs... Any clues as to what may be happening here?
    • Please delete post. Had not noticed the newest edition for 1.20.6 which resolves the issue.
    • https://paste.ee/p/GTgAV Here's my debug log, I'm on 1.18.2 with forge 40.2.4 and I just want to get it to work!! I cant find any mod names in the error part and I would like some help from the pros!! I have 203 mods at the moment.
