If I wanted to accept a class in the constructor of a custom bow, and then instantiate it. How would I go about doing that. any help would be appreciated.

    start with something like

    public Class<? extends BowType.class> type;
public itemConstructor(int id, Class<? extends BowType.class> c){
super(i);
type = c;
}

    ;

     

    then depending on if the class constructor needs parameters

    public BowType bowInit(){
try{
//no parameters
return type.newInstance();
} catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

    or

    public BowType bowInit(){
try{
return type.getConstructor(Parameter1.class, Parameter2.class).newInstance(parameter1Object, parameter2Object);
} catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

    I did what you said but it crashed on the onPlayerStoppedUsing method. Here's the code for the class file. And please ignore the badly named variables. I basically copied the ItemBow class.

    then what do I do to make it accept a float? I already tried float.class and even float, but it wants a class and I don't know what class to use.
