I followed this tutorial: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Tutorials/Basic_Shooter_Item_-_Blaster_Rifle

and it works great, but the rifle that it produces is fully automatic, you only have to hold down the mouse button and it fires every tick. I would like a gun that is semi-auto(it fires once every press of the mouse and you have to press it again to fire again) with a delay/recharge time(say 1 second) between each shot. Does anyone know how to do this? (BTW, looking at the bow class does not really help me, because it is a totally different premise. Here is my gun class:

package mods.mcenrichment.common;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntitySnowball;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class ItemGun extends Item {

    


	public ItemGun(int id) {
                super(id);
                
                // Constructor Configuration
                maxStackSize = 1;
                setCreativeTab(MCEnrichment.tabMCEnrichment);
                setUnlocalizedName("hi");
        }
        
        
        


        {
}




@Override
public ItemStack onItemRightClick(ItemStack par1ItemStack, World par2World,EntityPlayer par3EntityPlayer) {
   if(par3EntityPlayer.capabilities.isCreativeMode||par3EntityPlayer.inventory.consumeInventoryItem(MCEnrichment.blasterRifleBullet.itemID))
   {
     par2World.playSoundAtEntity(par3EntityPlayer, "blastershot", 1.0F, 0.4F / (itemRand.nextFloat() * 0.4F + 0.8F));
     if (!par2World.isRemote)
     {
       par2World.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityGunBolt(par2World, par3EntityPlayer));
     }
   }
   return par1ItemStack;
   }
}

and my bullet entity class:

package mods.mcenrichment.common;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityLiving;
import net.minecraft.entity.projectile.EntityThrowable;
import net.minecraft.util.DamageSource;
import net.minecraft.util.MovingObjectPosition;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class EntityGunBolt extends EntityThrowable{


private static final double speed = 5;
boolean flag = this.worldObj.getGameRules().getGameRuleBooleanValue("mobGriefing");
private float explosionRadius = 1.0F;



public EntityGunBolt(World par1World)
   {
       super(par1World);
   }
   public EntityGunBolt(World par1World, EntityLiving par2EntityLiving)
   {
       super(par1World, par2EntityLiving);
       this.motionX*=speed;
   		this.motionY*=speed;
   		this.motionZ*=speed;
   
   }
   public EntityGunBolt(World par1World, double par2, double par4, double par6)
   {
       super(par1World, par2, par4, par6);
   }
   @Override
   protected void onImpact(MovingObjectPosition par1MovingObjectPosition){
   if (par1MovingObjectPosition.entityHit != null)
       {
           par1MovingObjectPosition.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, this.getThrower()), 14);
       }
   //this.worldObj.createExplosion(this, this.posX, this.posY, this.posZ, (float)this.explosionRadius, true);
   this.setDead();
   }
   @Override
   protected float getGravityVelocity(){ 
   return 0;
   
   }
   
}

Thanks for the help!

You chouod make it count so many ticks then fire then wait that many ticks again.

You chouod make it count so many ticks then fire then wait that many ticks again.

How would I do that?

Anyone??

make a global integer.

 

private int counter =20;

 

in your 'onItemRightClick method'

 

counter--;

if(counter == 0){

shootGunStuffHere

 

counter=20;

}

 

this makes the gun fire every second at least once. (second = 20 ticks)

make it more or less as you like.

should work.

Find me on the minecraftforums : senpaisubaraki if it doesn't work. i'm a rare forge site visitor.
