I don't know what's happening. I'm using the same code as all other projectiles, just heavily simplified without all the criticals/particles/sounds extras but every time I throw the item at a mob it just goes right through them.

 

Why won't this hit mobs?

 

 

public class EntityThrowingKnife extends EntityThrowable

{

 

public EntityThrowingKnife(World world)

{

super(world);

}

 

public EntityThrowingKnife(World world, EntityLivingBase entity)

{

super(world, entity);

}

 

public EntityThrowingKnife(World world, double x, double y, double z)

{

super(world, x, y, z);

}

 

@Override

protected void onImpact(MovingObjectPosition mop)

{

World world = this.worldObj;

 

if (mop.entityHit != null)

{

mop.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, this.getThrower()), 5);

}

if(world.isRemote)

{

setDead();

}

 

}

 

}

 

Try calling super in onImpact().

That just makes it crash, repeating this...

at net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntityThrowable.onUpdate(EntityThrowable.java:229)

at apocalypse.fandomcraft.horror.EntityThrowingKnife.onImpact(EntityThrowingKnife.java:34)

hundreds of times...

if(world.isRemote)
      {
         setDead();
      }

 

You're telling the client to kill the entity on impact, not the server...

if(!world.isRemote)

{

      mop.entityHit.setdead();

}

 

use that instead.. otherwise you're telling the knife to kill itself on the client.
