Ammunition & Length

Hello Everyone I am a developer of a plugin. I am having requests of letting the bullets from the guns be able to be changed. I am having trouble thinking of a way to make this work.

Here is the piece of code that tells the gun the ammo.:

Code:java

private void Gun1(Player p) {
            Snowball sb = (Snowball) p.getWorld().spawn(p.getEyeLocation(), Snowball.class);
        sb.setShooter(((LivingEntity) p));
            sb.setVelocity(p.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(1.0));
    }

This makes the ammo snowball. How do I make it any entity they want. Also the number 1.0 I need that to be able to be changed. Not sure how to.

Any ideas?

Your questions make no sense.

For launching projectiles, use

Code:

p.launchProjectile(Snowball.class);

unless you want to modify the velocity, if so, use your current code, but change the double value to whatever is appropriate. This brings me to one of your problems; "I need that to be able to be changed".. as in? Just increase/decrease the value.

If you want the velocity to be defined within calling the method, then add a parameter to the constructor.

Code:

private void Gun1(Player p, double vel)

Now replace '1.0' with 'vel'.

If you want to get the velocity from config, then use its getDouble() method.

Code:

double vel = getConfig().getDouble("path.to.double");

For the ammo, before shooting, check if the player inventory contains at least 1 of the ammo material, and upon shooting, remove 1 ammo from the inventory. You can use the methods I showed above, if you want to somehow define the ammo required, but instead of double, use Material or String, depending on the situation.

 

No I mean changed from the config Assist sorry for not making it clear.

Could you elaborate your other questions too? It'd be much easier to help, if I knew what you need help with.
