[DaBootyO_o]

I am having trouble spawning lightning bolts. There is thunder, but I cant seem to see the lightning bolt.

Any solutions?

public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack Itemstack, World world, EntityPlayer Entityplayer)

{

 

if(Entityplayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode || Entityplayer.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(Items.redstone)) 

world.playSoundAtEntity(Entityplayer, "ambient.weather.thunder", 20.0F, 40.0F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 20.0F + 40.0F));

 

 

world.playSoundAtEntity(Entityplayer, "random.explode", 20.0F, 40.0F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 20.0F + 40.0F));

 

double x = 0;

double y = 0;

double z = 0;

world.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityLightningBolt(world, x, y, z));

return Itemstack;

 

}

}

1. use code tags

2. so. you are triing to spawn a lightning at the position 0,0,0 .. what are you expecting

it keeps telling me to set posX as a variable. I cant seem to get around that.

Learn Java and how minecraft works. Please.

The lightning has to be somewhere so the coordinates are necessary.

Also, minecraft 1.8 uses

World#addWeatherEffect

not

World#spawnEntityInWorld

to spawn a lightning bolt.

CommandSummon

gives an example of how to summon lightnings.
