Cannot Project a Projectile.

Trying to make a rocket plugin, and this line of code keeps giving me error:

Firework f = e.getPlayer().launchProjectile(Firework.class);

Eclipse Tells Me: "Bound mismatch: The generic method launchProjectile(Class<? extends T>) of type LivingEntity is not applicable for the arguments (Class<Firework>). The inferred type Firework is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter <T extends Projectile>"

I see other people using this code without issues, what is wrong?
Thanks.

 

I don't think a Firework is a projectile. You can't launch them like that- what code have you seen that does this? A firework just spawns as an entity and shoots up I the air, you can't launch it like an arrow or snowball.

 

A firework is an entity. Do this:

Firework f = (Firework)world.spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.FIREWORK);

loc being a Location where the firework is being spawned and world being the world it is happening in.

 

Ok this works but how do i make it so it fires in the direction of the player.

 

Direction where the player is looking?
Use p.getDirection() which returns a vector.

 

GaaTavares p.getDirection() is undefined for the type Player.

 

try p.getLocation().getDirection()

 

In pretty sure it's player.getEyeLocation().getDirection().

 

GaaTavares thepaperboy99 Awesome! Even though it doesnt deal with the op, how do you make it explode on impact?

 

I have no idea lol.

 

Get the projectiles speed, the distance to the player, calculate the time to fly and give it its countdown in some way.
