"Cannot instantiate the type EntityArrow" error [1.11.2]

[Friend2Creepers]

First of all, yes i still mod in 1.11.2

Second of all, I have been trying to create an item that does lots of damage when you right click, though my code says [see title.]

Here is my code:

package slagle.adventuremod.item;

import slagle.adventuremod.BaseMod;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntityArrow;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntitySnowball;
import net.minecraft.init.SoundEvents;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemSword;
import net.minecraft.util.ActionResult;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumActionResult;
import net.minecraft.util.EnumHand;
import net.minecraft.util.SoundCategory;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

//advmod
public class ItemAssassinsKnife extends ItemSword
{
	public final static String name="knife";
	public ItemAssassinsKnife() 
	{
		super(ItemMod.PhaKni);
		this.setUnlocalizedName(BaseMod.MODID+"_"+name);
		this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.COMBAT);
		// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
	}
	@Override
	public ActionResult<ItemStack> onItemRightClick(World worldIn, EntityPlayer playerIn, EnumHand handIn) {
		if (!worldIn.isRemote){
			
			EntityArrow entitySwipe=new EntityArrow(worldIn,playerIn);
			entitySwipe.setAim(playerIn, playerIn.rotationPitch, playerIn.rotationYaw, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
			
			worldIn.spawnEntity(entitySwipe);
		
		}
		return new ActionResult(EnumActionResult.SUCCESS, playerIn.getHeldItem(handIn));
		// TODO make it do damage
	
	}
	

	
	
}

You can't instantiate abstract classes:

public abstract class EntityArrow

You need to create a new EntityTippedArrow and give it no special effects.

thanks

Would there be a way to almost immediatley have it setDead through the item code?

[Draco18s]

Call setDead on it before your function ends?

thank you
