[1.9] Hit Entity Method Not Working

[MrPlantPots]

I am trying to add a potion effect to an entity when I hit it. No methods I could find return an Entity every click besides "hitEntity", however that isn't working for me. If anybody knows how to fix this, or a different solution, any help would be great !

Code:[embed=425,349]  @Override

  public boolean hitEntity(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityLivingBase par2EntityLivingBase, EntityLivingBase par3EntityLivingBase) {

      System.out.println("Testing");

      return true;

  }[/embed]

You need an event.

I am new to modding, and I can't find anywhere how to use this, could you possible explain how I would go about doing this? Or what I should I search for?

Here's a helpful article on Forge events, though some info might be out-of-date as it was written back in the days of 1.7.10.)

Largely speaking, everything is still correct.  There's been a reduction in buses for 1.9 (there's only one now, the split wasn't very meaningful) and some event names/properties have changed, but it should still be sufficient to get started.
