Topic category: Help with Minecraft modding (Java Edition)
Hey, it's me again here with another complex idea I need help with.
I want my entity throwable to have a boomerang type function. So I kind of know the function of this. I have code for damaging the entity. But I need help with actual code for the rest of it. here is my idea for the mechanic:
so, entity throwable dissapears when it hits a block or entity is because of set dead. what I need is to delete that part (I need it later though) and add in a motion, so in place of set dead when it hits a block or entity it has a motion. When it hits an entity or a block the motion will return/be backwards. Then I need CollideWithPlayer that will 1. Set dead the entity and 2. give the player the item back.
If anyone wants to help or has code or something please reply. I am working in 1.7.10 version.
i dont know about the animation but as a temporary solution you could just have it give the item to the player and kill the entity if it still exists (missed and hit a wall)
@#1 I don't need an animation. I don't think there is an actual easy way around this. This is quite complex. It will require some heavy coding. Plus if I killed the entity that would defeat the purpose of the whole visual of the entity "bouncing".
this code can be used maybe fore the returning mechanic?So, I need some help. I'm pretty sure this code makes it so the entity comes back to the player but please correct me if I am wrong.

Major breakthrough!
but there are some problems/things I want to fix
1:remove the potion effect it gives enties
2:after it bounces off an entity it flys off, thats great! problem is, is that it eventually stops flyig and stays there. Where do I put setDead?
heres my code:
@Override
public void onImpact(MovingObjectPosition mop) {
if(mop.entityHit != null) {
float throwDamage = 5;
mop.entityHit.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.causeThrownDamage(this, getThrower()), throwDamage);
if(mop.entityHit instanceof EntityLivingBase) {
byte b0 = 0;
switch(worldObj.difficultySetting) {
case NORMAL:
b0 = 10;
break;
case HARD:
b0 = 40;
break;
default:
break;
}
if(b0 > 0) {
((EntityLivingBase)mop.entityHit).addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.wither.id, 20 * b0, 1));
}
}
for(int l = 0; l < 4; ++l) {
worldObj.spawnParticle("magicCrit", posX, posY, posZ, 0.0D, 0.0D, 0.0D);
}
bounceBack();
}
}
protected void bounceBack() {
setVelocity(-motionX, -motionY, -motionZ);
}
@Override
protected float getGravityVelocity() {
return 0.0F;
}
/** Returns the shield's velocity makes it bouncy*/
protected float getVelocity() {
return func_70182_d();
}
/** Returns the shield's velocity makes it bouncy*/
@Override
protected float func_70182_d() {
return 1.25F;
}
}
public void interactEvent(EntityInteractEvent event){
if(event.target instanceof EntityCreature){
int entityID = EntityList.getEntityID(event.target);
ItemStack currentItem = event.entityPlayer.inventory.getCurrentItem();
if(currentItem != null){
if(currentItem == new ItemStack( mcreator_stevensShield.block, 1) && currentItem.getItemDamage() == 0){
event.target.setDead();
currentItem.setItemDamage(entityID);
}
}
}
}}
PLZ HELP! I want to be able to make this perfect so I can make a tutorial/custom code eventually!
That's the problem of things like Minecraft Forge forum,GitHub,..... . They do not tell why is the thing there.
Anyway it is not hard to see that this gives the effect: ((EntityLivingBase)mop.entityHit).addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(Potion.wither.id, 20 * b0, 1));
To the second point , it depends on what do you want it be like, you can for example make it that it will fly back , until it collides with block/player , you can have a timer for it, or else you can check if the position is same as the starting position. For colliding oen you can use onImpact() , for the else onUpdate().
@#5
if I use onUpdate wouldn't that effect when it hits the entity too? I was thinking of using ticksInAir, but that would also affect when it hits the entity. I just need it so when it flies away it dies. So ticksInAir but after it hits the entity.
@#5 for onUpdate you mean something like this?
@Override
public void onUpdate() {
if (--distance < -LIFESPAN && !worldObj.isRemote) {
worldObj.spawnEntityInWorld(new EntityItem(worldObj, posX, posY, posZ, getshield()));
setDead();
}
}
onUpdate() - call on every tick upate.
Now to the counter. Do you have some imagination what would happen in this case ,if you miss the entity? Yes it would fly forever (or until its is in loaded chunks). And that means that if you would be using it for example on server where people would like using your item , after some time would begin lags because of undespawned entities.
Well, let's say that this is just small detail. Then you need make a boolean that will switch after the collision . and in onUpdate() you will check for the boolean and case that it has the value that you want , then increase/descrease the timer (depends if you are counting from 0 up , or from some number to 0)
@#6
So this code is not useable? I would need something like ticksInAir?
Why are you negaing the LIFESPAN?
@#7
Well, I wanted to make it so as it was flying away after bouncing off of entity it eventually setDead
@#7 *negating
It whole does not do almost any of the things that I wrote.
--distance < -LIFESPAN
This does only that it checks if the distance-1 is smaller that negated value of LIFESPAN
There is no even sign about the boolean , like
if(hasCollided){
inAirTicks++;
if(inAirTicks > 60){
//DO SOME STUFF
}
}
