I'm doing an item that when you right click it it spawns a lightning when you look. I already made the item and the lightning part. I was wondering how could I remove durability each time I right click. And also maybe set a cooldown and make it do sword damage.

I know it's a lot to ask but I hope someone could help me for at least 1 of these things

Figured out the sword damage part

Edited June 19, 20205 yr by Akira

I wonder if there is some kind of damage method in the item stack class.

Things like this can easily be seen through vanilla classes. Before you actually start asking very basic questions like this, you can actually try to look at how vanilla does its mechanic. For example, in this case, look at ItemStack.class.

Howdy

Not sure what you mean by cooldown.  But if you mean "the sword can't be used for lightning again until a certain amount of time has elapsed" then I would suggest doing this:

1) Add an NBT "lastused" to your Item 

eg see this working example

or this

2) Create a 'global tick counter' class which gets called every tick and just keeps track of the number of ticks that the game has been running.

 

For example like this

public class AnimationTickCounter {

  public static long getTotalElapsedTicksInGame() {
    return totalElapsedTicksInGame;
  }

  @SubscribeEvent
  public static void clientTickEnd(TickEvent.ServerTickEvent event) {
    if (event.phase == TickEvent.Phase.END) {
      totalElapsedTicksInGame++;
    }
  }

  private static long totalElapsedTicksInGame = 0;
}

//and in your mod constructor use
MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(AnimationTickCounter.class); 

 

3) Check the "lastused" against the global tick counter in order to see if the sword has cooled down yet
