[1.15] How to set direction of fireball?


gamas

Recommended Posts

Hi I am trying to shoot fireball from my custom axe when I click the right click on my mouse. I am able to do so, but I am not able to set the direction of the fireball properly

 

Every time the fireball launch, it appears in front of the player which is good, but not in the direction of the center target cursor. It randomly changes the direction. Sometimes it appear on the left, or below or above or to the right on the target cursor in front of me. I want the fireball's direction to be exactly at the target cursor in front of me. I want the fireball direction to be like when I am shooting an arrow. What am I missing?

 

package com.mycompany.firstmod.item;

import com.mycompany.firstmod.init.ModItemGroup;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.PlayerEntity;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.FireballEntity;
import net.minecraft.item.*;
import net.minecraft.util.ActionResult;
import net.minecraft.util.Hand;
import net.minecraft.util.math.Vec3d;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

public class CustomAxe extends AxeItem {
    public static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(CustomAxe.class);
    public int fireballStrength = 9;
    public CustomAxe() {
        super(ItemTier.IRON, 6.0F, -3.1F, new Item.Properties().group(ModItemGroup.MOD_ITEM_GROUP));
    }
    public CustomAxe(IItemTier tier, float attackDamageIn, float attackSpeedIn, Item.Properties builder) {
        super(tier, attackDamageIn, attackSpeedIn, builder);
    }

    public ActionResult<ItemStack> onItemRightClick(World world, PlayerEntity player, Hand handIn) {

        Vec3d looking = player.getLookVec();
        FireballEntity fireballentity = new FireballEntity(world, player,looking.x,looking.y,looking.z);
        LOGGER.info(String.format("%s, %s, %s", looking.x, looking.y, looking.z));

        fireballentity.explosionPower = fireballStrength;
        world.addEntity(fireballentity);

        LOGGER.info("********** Magic Axe swing **************");
        return super.onItemRightClick(world, player, handIn);
    }

}

I wonder how the Ghast does it.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

That's a good idea @Draco18s ?. Below is the GhastEntity source code that I can see. But the code assumes that it has a target entity position (livingentity). But in my case, I don't have a target entity position ?

That code is only using the target entity as the target position. You can just use your own target position.

Some tips:

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

4.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

Support & Bug Reports:

Spoiler

1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

Which you can calculate from the player's position and look vector.

How would I do that @Draco18s, @DavidM if I don't have any real target? When you said target, do you mean a real entity (mob or living entity) that I want to target? Ideally, I just want the fireball to go in the direction of the center cursor?  But I don't know how to get the position of the center cursor? 

 

In general, I don't quite understand the concept of player look vector ? . I wonder if there is documentation about this?

Vec3d looking = player.getLookVec()

The look vector is a vector (with a length/magnitude of 1) pointing in the direction the entity is looking.

So the direction/velocity of your fireball should be a multiple of that vector, and the start position should be the player eye position, plus part of the look vector (to spawn just in front of the player, instead of inside it's face)

    • I have created a very simple mod that is just supposed to send a message to a player when they join. Upon adding it to a server (that has other mods on it), the following crash message appears: [12:13:01] [main/ERROR] [minecraft/Main]: Failed to start the minecraft server net.minecraftforge.fml.LoadingFailedException: Loading errors encountered: [         Epic Mod (epicmod) has failed to load correctly §7java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: net.ed.epicmod.EpicMod.<init>() ]         at net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoader.waitForTransition(ModLoader.java:243) ~[fmlcore-1.19.2-43.2.14.jar%23548!/:?] {}         at net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoader.lambda$dispatchAndHandleError$24(ModLoader.java:208) ~[fmlcore-1.19.2-43.2.14.jar%23548!/:?] {}         at java.util.Optional.ifPresent(Optional.java:178) ~[?:?] {re:mixin}         at net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoader.dispatchAndHandleError(ModLoader.java:208) ~[fmlcore-1.19.2-43.2.14.jar%23548!/:?] {}         at net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoader.lambda$gatherAndInitializeMods$14(ModLoader.java:185) ~[fmlcore-1.19.2-43.2.14.jar%23548!/:?] {}         at java.lang.Iterable.forEach(Iterable.java:75) ~[?:?] {re:mixin,re:computing_frames}         at net.minecraftforge.fml.ModLoader.gatherAndInitializeMods(ModLoader.java:185) ~[fmlcore-1.19.2-43.2.14.jar%23548!/:?] {}         at net.minecraftforge.server.loading.ServerModLoader.load(ServerModLoader.java:32) ~[forge-1.19.2-43.2.14-universal.jar%23552!/:?] {re:classloading}         at net.minecraft.server.Main.main(Main.java:113) ~[server-1.19.2-20220805.130853-srg.jar%23547!/:?] {re:classloading,re:mixin,pl:mixin:A}         at jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) ~[?:?] {}         at jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:77) ~[?:?] {}         at jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) ~[?:?] {}         at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:568) ~[?:?] {}         at net.minecraftforge.fml.loading.targets.CommonServerLaunchHandler.lambda$launchService$0(CommonServerLaunchHandler.java:29) ~[fmlloader-1.19.2-43.2.14.jar%2367!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandlerDecorator.launch(LaunchServiceHandlerDecorator.java:30) [modlauncher-10.0.8.jar%2354!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandler.launch(LaunchServiceHandler.java:53) [modlauncher-10.0.8.jar%2354!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchServiceHandler.launch(LaunchServiceHandler.java:71) [modlauncher-10.0.8.jar%2354!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:106) [modlauncher-10.0.8.jar%2354!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:77) [modlauncher-10.0.8.jar%2354!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.modlauncher.BootstrapLaunchConsumer.accept(BootstrapLaunchConsumer.java:26) [modlauncher-10.0.8.jar%2354!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.modlauncher.BootstrapLaunchConsumer.accept(BootstrapLaunchConsumer.java:23) [modlauncher-10.0.8.jar%2354!/:?] {}         at cpw.mods.bootstraplauncher.BootstrapLauncher.main(BootstrapLauncher.java:141) [bootstraplauncher-1.1.2.jar:?] {} Why could this be? I have tried using the mod on another forge server with only this mod installed and it works there. Is my mod somehow interfering with other mods? MC version is 1.19.2
    • how to make animated doors?, maybe geckolib, but i don't know how to code it?
    • For crash 1, set max-tick-time to -1 in your server.properties Crash 2 shows a conflict or incompatibility between LuckPerms and the mod boh-0.0.6.1-forge-1.20.1_2.jar
    • Add the crash-report or latest.log (logs-folder) with sites like https://mclo.gs/ and paste the link to it here
