[solved] Having An Issue With My Entity Disappearing After Piercing An Entity

Posted August 13, 20169 yr

So I'm messin' around with this spell I'm working on.

It does,

this.doBlockCollisions();

when OnImpact EntityLivingBase

to pierce through entities, but when it goes through the first one, it disappears. It still exists and continues through the first entity to hit the ones behind it. It just doesn't render for some odd reason.

I can instead OnImpact do this seperately

And it will travel through blocks and entities and not disappear at all:

if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {
        	this.doBlockCollisions();
        }

The thing is it doesn't need to travel through blocks it only needs to travel through entities.

This should work darn it.

Here is the one where it travels through blocks and entities and doesn't disappear:

public class EntityEarthOrb extends EntityOrb2
{
public EntityEarthOrb(World worldIn)
    {
        super(worldIn);
    } 
    public EntityEarthOrb(World worldIn, EntityLivingBase throwerIn)
    {
        super(worldIn, throwerIn);
    } 
    public void onUpdate()
    {
    	super.onUpdate();
    	this.worldObj.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.BLOCK_CRACK, posX + (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() - worldObj.rand.nextFloat()) / 2, posY + (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() / -2 - worldObj.rand.nextFloat()) / -1.3, posZ + (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() - worldObj.rand.nextFloat()) / 2, 0, 0, 0,  new int[] {Block.getIdFromBlock(Blocks.DIRT)});
    	++ticksExisted;
        if (this.ticksExisted >= 54)
        {
        	this.setDead();
        }
    }
    public EntityEarthOrb(World worldIn, double x, double y, double z)
    {
        super(worldIn, x, y, z);
    }    
    protected void onImpact(RayTraceResult result)
    {
        if (result.entityHit != null)
        {
            int i = 0;
            if (result.entityHit instanceof EntityLivingBase)
            {
                i = 4;
            }
            result.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, this.getThrower()), (float)i);
            worldObj.playSound((EntityPlayer)null, posX, posY, posZ, SoundEvents.BLOCK_GRASS_BREAK, SoundCategory.NEUTRAL, 0.8F, 1.5F / (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));
        }
        for (int j = 0; j < 8; ++j)
        {
            this.worldObj.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.BLOCK_CRACK, this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, new int[] {Block.getIdFromBlock(Blocks.DIRT)});
        }
        if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {
        	this.doBlockCollisions();
        }
}
}

Here is the one that will die when it hits blocks but disappear after going through the first entity it hits:

public class EntityEarthOrb extends EntityOrb2
{
public EntityEarthOrb(World worldIn)
    {
        super(worldIn);
    } 
    public EntityEarthOrb(World worldIn, EntityLivingBase throwerIn)
    {
        super(worldIn, throwerIn);
    } 
    public void onUpdate()
    {
    	super.onUpdate();
    	this.worldObj.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.BLOCK_CRACK, posX + (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() - worldObj.rand.nextFloat()) / 2, posY + (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() / -2 - worldObj.rand.nextFloat()) / -1.3, posZ + (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() - worldObj.rand.nextFloat()) / 2, 0, 0, 0,  new int[] {Block.getIdFromBlock(Blocks.DIRT)});
    	++ticksExisted;
        if (this.ticksExisted >= 54)
        {
        	this.setDead();
        }
    }
    public EntityEarthOrb(World worldIn, double x, double y, double z)
    {
        super(worldIn, x, y, z);
    }    
    protected void onImpact(RayTraceResult result)
    {
        if (result.entityHit != null)
        {
            int i = 0;
            if (result.entityHit instanceof EntityLivingBase)
            {
                i = 4;
            }
            result.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, this.getThrower()), (float)i);
            worldObj.playSound((EntityPlayer)null, posX, posY, posZ, SoundEvents.BLOCK_GRASS_BREAK, SoundCategory.NEUTRAL, 0.8F, 1.5F / (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));
            this.doBlockCollisions();
        }
        for (int j = 0; j < 8; ++j)
        {
            this.worldObj.spawnParticle(EnumParticleTypes.BLOCK_CRACK, this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D, new int[] {Block.getIdFromBlock(Blocks.DIRT)});
        }
        if (this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {
        	this.setDead();
        }
}
}

any ideas?

Override doCollisions and remove the code stopping/killing the entity when it collides.

This is doing the same thing:

I'm really disappointed. The entity disappears after going through the first entity it hits, to travel through and hit whats behind it.

Why do you do this?

if (this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {
        	this.setDead();
        }

What you are doing is killing the Entity client side. Therefore it doesn't render.

it makes it so when it hits a block it dies, but when it hits an entity it pierces through it.

You are only killing it client side though because world.isRemote you should be using !world.isRemote.

You are killing the entity anyways it is at the end of the method and always gets called. Try adding return; at the end of the if entityHit != null if statement.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
