Summoning another entity on impact at thrown entity?

[gurujive]

Say if I'd like to summon a lightningbolt as I smash a creeper in the face with something...

 

What would that look like?

 

so far my on impact looks like so (it is a thrown entity):

protected void onImpact(RayTraceResult result)
    {
    	if (!this.isWet() && result.entityHit instanceof EntityCreeper)
        {
        	((EntityCreeper) result.entityHit).ignite();	
        }
        if (result.entityHit != null)
        {
            int i = 0;
            if (result.entityHit instanceof EntityLivingBase)
            {
                i = 0;
            }
            result.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, this.getThrower()), (float)i);
            result.entityHit.addVelocity(this.motionX * (double)this.knockbackStrength * 10.0D, 0.4D, this.motionZ * (double)this.knockbackStrength * 10.0D);
            result.entityHit.setFire(;
            result.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.drown, 3.0F);
            result.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.lightningBolt, 4.0F);
            float f = 0.0F;
            this.worldObj.createExplosion(this, this.posX, this.posY + (double)(this.height / 16.0F), this.posZ, (float)this.explosionPower, true);
            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.FIRE)});
        }
        ++ticksExisted;
        if (this.ticksExisted >= 100)
        {
        	this.setDead();
        }
        if (!this.worldObj.isRemote)
        {	
        	this.pushOutOfBlocks(0, 0, 0);
        	this.addVelocity(this.motionX * (double)this.knockbackStrength * 0.01D, 0.7D, this.motionZ * (double)this.knockbackStrength * 0.01D);
            worldObj.playSound((EntityPlayer)null, posX, posY, posZ, SoundEvents.ENTITY_BLAZE_BURN, SoundCategory.NEUTRAL, 0.7F, 1.5F / (worldObj.rand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));
        }        
    }

 

 

However I would like to add a small possibility of when it makes impact that it will summon a lightningbolt from the sky to strike the entity that it hits.

 

Possible? (I sure hope it is)

Do you have a world object to spawn the entity into?

Yes.

Do you have the ability to call

new

?

Yes.

Can you do this?

Yes.
