Solved Trying to make an arrow look like a silverfish

I have tried a bunch of ways to try and make my arrow look like a silverfish:

1. Searched a way to disguise projectiles - didnt find one.
2. Tried to send a PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy with the arrow, and make the silverfish it's passenger - the silverfish went flying down.
3. Tried to not modify the arrow, and just make the silverfish it's passenger - Kills the silverfish / lets it survive.
How can I fix my problem?
Thanks in advance!

 

NonameSL Maybe you could remove the arrow and spawn a silverfish in place of it, with the arrow's velocity?

 

dsouzamatt I do this with one of my plugins but I think he wants damage like a arrow.

 

dsouzamatt IDK why now it is spawning 7 silverfish that die instantly. My code:

Code:java

                Arrow arrow = player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);
                Silverfish silverfish = (Silverfish) player.getWorld().spawnEntity(player.getLocation(), EntityType.SILVERFISH);
                arrow.setPassenger(silverfish);
                //MobSpeedModyfier.setSpeed(silverfish, 0.3);
                silverfish.setMaxHealth(1D);
                silverfish.setHealth(1D);
                silverfish.setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity());
                PacketManager.destroyEntity(arrow);

destroyEntity method:

Code:java

PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy packet = new PacketPlayOutEntityDestroy(new int[]{id});
for(Player p :  Bukkit.getOnlinePlayers())sendPacket(p, packet);
 

dsouzamatt That is exactly what I want.

Try making the silverfish ride the arrow BUT listen for an silverfish being damaged by an arrow and if so cancel it.
Because you CAN ride an arrow as a player in creative.

 

Are packets necessary at all? Why not spawn the creature, set his velocity to the arrow's, remove the arrow, then remove the silverfish using a Delayed Task?

 

TheHandfish the velocity from mobs and the velocity for projectiles are different.

 

You can hide the arrow using ProtocolLib. There's a tut out here.

 

Actually Lib's Disguises allows you to disguise all entities.
You can disguise a arrow as a silverfish.
And a silverfish as a arrow.

Rather simple.

DisguiseAPI.disguiseToAll(arrow, new MobDisguise(DisguiseType.SILVERFISH));
