[1.12.2] MultiPart Entity Interaction Help

[Electric]

By following the EnderDragon's format, I have successfully created a multipart entity, complete with several different bounding boxes. After a player right clicks the entity, I would like to be able to detect which bounding box is being interacted with, but I am not sure if this is possible. IEntityMultiPart does supply the following method, which detects the bounding box, but it is only triggered with a left click. Any ideas?

public boolean attackEntityFromPart(MultiPartEntityPart consolePart, DamageSource source, float damage)

Make your own class that extends MultiPartEntity part and override the interact method(processInitialInteract). And use that as the instance for your parts.

I have tried the interact method, but I'm still not sure how to detect which part is being right clicked. Printing out items such as getCollisionBoundingBox and getEntityBoundingBox always return the same thing, regardless of which part on the entity is being clicked. I'm not sure how to differentiate between the boxes within the processInteract method.

Here is my Entity class:

Well you didn't do what I said.

I'm slightly confused on what you mean by that. Do I need to have my entity extend MultiPartEntityPart or make a whole new class that extends it? And if its the latter, how am I supposed to reference it for my own entity's parts? I tried this but I am lost:

  Reveal hidden contents

public class EntityTest extends MultiPartEntityPart {


    public EntityTest(IEntityMultiPart parent, String partName, float width, float height) {
        super(parent, partName, width, height);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean processInitialInteract(EntityPlayer player, EnumHand hand)
    {
        System.out.println(partName);
        return false;
    }

Yes I meant the latter. Instead of doing new MultiPartEntity do new EntityTest.

Oh wow, it works perfectly. Thank you for the help!
