[1.8]Spawning Entities from mob

[Darkflame]

Hi

 

I was working on a tank mob, and was going to make it shoot fireballs. I tried to use

par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityWitherSkull(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));

but that didn't work. Probably because it was meant for use in an item.

The way I set up the launch of the fireball was  (btw do I need an @Override there?)

public boolean isJumping()
    {
        return this.isJumping;
    }
    
    //Do I need an @Override here?
    public void setJumping(boolean p_110255_1_)
    {
        this.isJumping = p_110255_1_;
    }

 

and then in the

public void moveEntityWithHeading(float p_70612_1_, float p_70612_2_)
    {

    }

method I put

if(isJumping) {
    par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityWitherSkull(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));
}

 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Post the whole class please.

Remember that time when I politely pointed out that you need to learn Java, NOT on minecraft modding? Yeah, now I am urging you to do so.

 

Anyway:

1. @Override is JUST an annotation - it doesn't mean anything outside your IDE. It just helps you make sure you are doing what you want to do (by checking if you are actually overriding something - read: have same method in superclass).

 

2. Rename your vars goddamit! This is some kind of elvish: p_70612_1_, p_70612_2_, p_110255_1_ !!!

 

3. I have no clue how or where you were trying to spawn fireball, but you've failed. Miserably! (lol)

* Make sure you are on server thread (!world.isRemote)

* Set entity-to-spaw positions.

* Spawn entity.

 

4. As above (again faster dammit) - full code please.
