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

Any solutions?

 

I am new btw.

show code

package mod;

 

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;

import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLivingBase;

import net.minecraft.entity.effect.EntityLightningBolt;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.init.Items;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemSword;

import net.minecraft.util.AxisAlignedBB;

import net.minecraft.util.BlockPos;

import net.minecraft.util.ChatComponentText;

import net.minecraft.util.EnumFacing;

import net.minecraft.util.MathHelper;

import net.minecraft.util.MovingObjectPosition;

import net.minecraft.util.MovingObjectPosition.MovingObjectType;

import net.minecraft.util.Vec3;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

 

 

public class ZeusLightningBolt extends Item {

 

 

 

 

 

public ZeusLightningBolt(ToolMaterial material) {

super();

 

 

}

 

 

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

DaBooty has good advice too

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.

1. use code tags

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

 

Also, minecraft 1.8 uses

World#addWeatherEffect

not

World#spawnEntityInWorld

to spawn a lightning bolt.

CommandSummon

gives an example of how to summon lightnings.

Thanks man. it took me a while to find the code, but it works. :D
