damage people in area?

emm.. i want to make plugin that let you hit few players/mobs in area , for example : if il use axe il damage all people in front of me and will cap it to X people... how can i do that? i tried damage all players/mobs in radius... but i want that only mobs in front of me ... can anyone give me example code for getting players/mobs location in front of you?

 

You'd listen for the PlayerInteractEvent, check if the item in the Player's hand is whatever type of axe, and get the mob in front of the player and damage it.

 

Code:java

    private final int maxTargets = 10; //  > 0
    private final double maxRange = 15.0D;
    private final double maxAngleCos = Math.cos(Math.toRadians(60)); // an angle between 0 and 90 degree
 
    private Set<LivingEntity> findTargets(Player player) {
        Set<LivingEntity> targets = new HashSet<LivingEntity>();
        if (player != null) {
            Vector playerLocation = player.getEyeLocation().toVector();
            Vector playerViewDirection = player.getEyeLocation().getDirection().normalize();
            for (Entity entity : player.getNearbyEntities(maxRange, maxRange, maxRange)) {
                if (entity instanceof LivingEntity && !entity.equals(player)) {
                    LivingEntity livingEntity = (LivingEntity) entity;
 
                    // check angle to target:
                    Vector toTarget = livingEntity.getEyeLocation().toVector().subtract(playerLocation).normalize();
                    double dotProduct = toTarget.dot(playerViewDirection);
                    if (dotProduct >= maxAngleCos) {
                        targets.add(livingEntity);
                        if (targets.size() >= maxTargets) break;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return targets;
    }

 

You would have to do a player location analysis.

Grab all the players in the chunk, look at the original damager's location and compass direction and see who's location in that chunk fits within your given direction and desired angle of splash damage. You will be monitoring the EntityDamageByEntity event and checking the event.getEntity() instanceof Player and event.getDamager() instanceof Player.

 

blablubbabc thx for the code but , i didnt understand a few things, how would i damage the mobs? target.damage()?

chris4315 as i told , i done that before but with radius and because of that i asked for example code

Alshain01 thx will try doing that... But i think its too complicated to me (to make it alone) so thats why i ask for example code so i could understand

 

This method only gives you the living entities in front of your (in a certain angle even).
So on your event handler (where you want to trigger it; in the interact or one of the damage events for example) you do something like:

for (LivingEntity target : findTargets(player)) target.damage(3.0D); // or whatever

 

seems like its doesnt work im trying to make it on axe but the axe doesnt make anyting , also im not getting any errors :S

 

maybe show your complete code then? I can't help you without anything..

 

Did you register your events?
