How to add an Entity to a team?

SmokyMiner · Nov 5, 2017

I'm trying to adjust the glow color of a snowball by adding it to a team that is registered to a custom Scoreboard. I tried adding the snowball by using Team.addEntry(snowball.getName()) without any luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

The scoreboard uses an Entity's UUID as its name, and for Players it uses their username, iirc. Try adding the snowball's UUID to the Team instead.

Yea I tried that already, no luck. Here is some more info from the other thread I made on spigot:

Try adding the team’s players to a team. Listen to the projectile launch event, check if it is a snowball, check the player’s team and give the snowball the correct effect. So instead of adding the snowball to a team, add the players to a team.

I already have a system like this in place. The problem is that a Snowball is an Entity, not a LivingEntity, so there is no functionality to add effects to it. Entities can have glow enabled though, so that is what I am using to apply a color to the snowball. From what I can tell from reading the JavaDocs, the glow color is controlled by what team an Entity is on. So the only way, as far as I can tell, to change the color of a snowball is to add it to a team, which may or may not be impossible.

So I guess it really boils down to, how can I change the color of a snowball?
