Random Question: Both a sword and bow?

[RCPotatoSoup]

Does anyone know how you would code something as both a sword and bow? Is that even possible?

[Failender]

maybe creating a simple bow and overriding getDamageVsEntity will do the job. only a guess im not sure

Depends on if you want the "drawing" animation or not. Either as Failender said with a bow which will have the animation or by making a normal sword and overriding onItemRightClick and make it spawn an arrow on right click to fire without an animation

Where would I override this? Nothing ever works for me or I'm just completely stupid so I'm gonna need a little help on this one.

the method is Item#getDamageVsEntity in 1.8 (I hope its there for 1.7)

In your item class. You'll have to create a new item class and extend either sword or bow... or item.

 

 

Yep it's Item#getDamageVsEntity—at least it's the same in 1.7.10 anyway.

I can't figure this out. I'll just wait for someone else to do it and copy what they do. I need to get better at coding

no1 will code ur mod for you. Just sng.

making items is simple, easy and there are tons of tutorials about it.

 

so, once you've followed a tutorial that has you making a class for your item, make it extend the bow, this will practically make it a bow clone, so then you override the method said by another user to make it deal damage on left click as well.

 

tbh this seems like a pretty simple task, just search for the right tutorials/guides, and use some imagination
