Change power of fireball?

[Blakexx]

Ho, so I used to know how to make a fireball and change the power of the fireball and everything, but I forgot how, so I had to look around for ways to do it, so I got this.

 

Remember I already have the item working so it has nothing to do with my item not being implemented properly into the game.

 

@Override

//shoots fireball //

public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack itemstack, World worldIn, EntityPlayer entityplayer)

{

if (!worldIn.isRemote)

{

Vec3 look = entityplayer.getLookVec();

EntityLargeFireball fireball2 = new EntityLargeFireball(worldIn, entityplayer, 1, 1, 1);

fireball2.setPosition(

entityplayer.posX + look.xCoord * 5,

entityplayer.posY + look.yCoord * 5,

entityplayer.posZ + look.zCoord * 5);

fireball2.accelerationX = look.xCoord * 0.5;

fireball2.accelerationY = look.yCoord * 0.5;

fireball2.accelerationZ = look.zCoord * 0.5;

worldIn.spawnEntityInWorld(fireball2);

}

return itemstack;

}

EntityLargeFireball fireball2 = new EntityLargeFireball(worldIn, entityplayer, 1, 1, 1);

 

Mmmmm. Magic numbers

[Choonster]

The direct damage of the Large Fireball is hardcoded at 6.0 in

EntityLargeFireball#onImpact

, but the explosion power is controlled by the public

EntityLargeFireball#explosionPower

field.

 

If you want it to deal a different amount of damage, extend

EntityLargeFireball

and override

onImpact

to do the same thing as

EntityLargeFireball#onImpact

but deal the appropriate amount of damage instead of 6.0.

I am just trying to change explosion power Thanks for the response though.

 

 

EntityLargeFireball fireball2 = new EntityLargeFireball(worldIn, entityplayer, 1, 1, 1);

 

Mmmmm. Magic numbers

 

I changed them all to 100 one at a time and nothing changed.

[Abastro]

That is not the strength.

They are the acceleration variable, and they just get normalized before usage.

So, multiplying some number to them would result in nothing.

 

Seriously, you should try to know what a parameter does before just putting random numbers like 1.

[Blakexx]

Sorry about that, anyhow, any ideas?

[Blakexx]

Nevermind, I got it, it was

fireball2.explosionPower = 2;
