[1.15.2] Any good resources for learning how to add a throwable item?

[ultra_reemun]

Hi all,

 

I've been trying to add a throwable item for a while now and I can't find any up to date resources on the topic.

I've got my item and its class all sorted, with a cooldown in place etc but I don't know how to actually create my entity. (I think that's how it's done?).

 

I need help on creating a class to initialise my entities (if it works similarly to items and blocks) and for the actual thrown entity, aswell as its collision etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, or a link to a helpful site you know of!

 

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the advice, I've got pretty far with that!

My issue now is this:

 

public class ModEntityType {

	public static final DeferredRegister<EntityType<?>> ENTITY_TYPES = new DeferredRegister<>(ForgeRegistries.ENTITIES,
			Combat.MODID);

	public static final RegistryObject<EntityType<ShurikenEntity>> SHURIKEN_ENTITY = ENTITY_TYPES
			.register("shuriken_entity",
					() -> EntityType.Builder.<ShurikenEntity>create(ShurikenEntity::new, EntityClassification.MISC)
							.size(0.25F, 0.25F)
							.build(new ResourceLocation(Combat.MODID, "shuriken_entity").toString()));


}

 

I need to make SHURIKEN_ENTITY extend ProjectileItemEntity, does anone know how I'd go about doing that?

public class MyEntity extends ProjectileItemEntity

Done.

You should replace this with just the string literal, "MODID:shuriken_entity"

My ShurikenEntity class already extends ProjectileItemEntity, however my issue lies with my constructor here:

public ShurikenEntity(World worldIn, LivingEntity throwerIn) {
		super(ModEntityType.SHURIKEN_ENTITY, throwerIn, worldIn);
	}

My IDE is returning the error:

The constructor ProjectileItemEntity(RegistryObject<EntityType<ShurikenEntity>>, LivingEntity, World) is undefined

And is suggesting the fix :

Change Type of 'SHURIKEN_ENTITY' to 'EntityType<? extends ProjectileItemEntity>'

Which is giving an error.

im working on a similar thing. if you do

super(ModEntityType.SHURIKEN_ENTITY.get(), throwerIn, worldIn);

instead of

super(ModEntityType.SHURIKEN_ENTITY, throwerIn, worldIn);

it should work
