Hello,

 

When you (or any living thing) attack a mob (whether a monster or a mob) with your fist or anything that is not a tool, you apply a knockback on it.

This is handled by EntityLivingBase.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource source, float amount).

                        
if (source.getSourceOfDamage() instanceof EntityLivingBase)
                        {
                            ((EntityLivingBase)source.getSourceOfDamage()).knockBack(this, 0.5F, this.posX - source.getSourceOfDamage().posX, this.posZ - source.getSourceOfDamage().posZ);
                        }

I'd like to change this "0.5F" value. It represents the base knockback force. We could increase or decrease it.

 

Anyone would have an idea about how to edit it ?

Notes about what I already tried :

-LivingAttackEvent is triggered before the knockback, so we can't just cancel it by "pulling" the mob afterwards. Pulling it before looks glitchy.

-SharedMonsterAttributes.KNOCKBACK_RESISTANCE affects all knockbacks (and there are many, many many cases where it's used) so that's not an option.

-LivingHurtEvent is triggered for all damage and without way of knowing who did it so it's not possible either.

Make a PullRequest with a knockback event maybe.

 

If one wants to affect all knockbacks, the already existing attribute works fine. Maybe a getBaseKnockback() { return 0.5F; } in EntityLivingBase ?

I have never made a Forge PR, I don't really know yet what's good practice, but I'll look at it.

Would be nice to edit this falue, for ex., to make stronger knockback from custom weapon - Hammer. But I didn't found any proper way to it =(

 

Also, anybody know how to apply a wide swing to custom weapon, like vanilla swords have?

Look in EntityPlayer on line 1408-1421 for an example and override hitEntity in the Items Class and apply this effect in that method as it is hardcoded for ItemSword.

 

*Edit and for knockback override

public MultiMap getAttributeModifiers(EntityEquipmentSlot slot, ItemStack stack)

in your Items class.

Hm, as I realize, the swing is hardcoded in EntityPlayer method attackTargetEntityWithCurrentItem, and there is section that checking if (itemstack != null && itemstack.getItem() instanceof ItemSword). How can I change it through overriding Item's hitEntity? Maybe this question looks noobish, but I missing something there and cannot understand...

Item#hitEntity(...) is called when the Player hits an Entity. Therefore you can do the same thing within this method.

Thank you so much! It's working perfectly when I just copy-pasted the section inside if(flag3) and changed entries to attacker and target.

Well, now only knockback remains, I think I can win it

Awesome, but I think you should understand what that code does on a fundamental level before going on ahead, and if you already do just ignore this message.

Of course I do =)

I just edited swing distance and made it wider to match hammer's size, weight and low attack speed. Maybe I should change the swing and hit sounds too.
