Throwables
Throwables
Throwables is a plugin-which is being expanded constantly-that allows you to throw more items! This plugin is ideal on pvp servers and rpg servers, where you want to make your server more customized!
These items are generally useless items, and (in the future) they will be configurable.
Current Features
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Slimeball | Slow down your enemies for a few seconds! |
| Ink Sack | Give your enemies blindness for a few seconds! |
| Flint | Throw swords at your enemy! |
| Bone | Push players backwards! (As of v1.1) |
| Brick | Throw a nether brick (item) to knock out your enemies! (As of v1.1.1) |
| Cow | Right-click leather to spawn a cow! (Not recommended for players, as they can create too many cows at the moment) (Will be fixed with cool downs.) (As of v1.1.1) |
How to Use
"Throw" an item by right-clicking it. Hit enemies by pointing your cursor at them while clicking!
Installation
Simply place it in your plugins folder, and it will work!

I guess you could send packets like ProtocolLib does, but...
yeah.

Nah you've got my mind turning mate, I'm very curious - you could throw a snowball, but you couldn't modify the snowball to show the item.
So I suppose you've meant that when the snowball hits the player give the effects. If so then read the link to the plugin request, the whole point was to "throw" items, albeit I'm adding a lot more features and items than the original request :P

Posted Sep 3, 2013When you "throw" the item via right-clicking, the projectile is a snowball. Definitely possible, albeit simple yet uncreative. Just keep doing what you're doing and ignore the fact that I even commented in your plugin. :P

I understand what you're asking, but what I don't understand, is how would you use a snowball for this? It doesn't seem possible.

Posted Sep 3, 2013I was asking about whether you use an item entity or a snowball, because a snowball just seemed "simpler" and less error-prone than using an item entity (not implying your plugin is buggy though).

Oh derp, actually it won't do any damage/cause lag. The way it works, if it finds an entity in that range it applies the effect, and then removes the entity and cancels the event. Therefore I believe there will actually be no iterating over entities after it finds it's first "hit"

Hahaha yeah, the way I did it,
there is seemingly no way to circumvent that lag:( Hopefully the xp orb would be on the ground, so the item would remove itself first or before lagging. Will test it out, thanks for that :) I would never have thought of that.-

Ahhhh...
Should have thought of that.
Imagine if someone throws it into a field of exp orbs :O

Nearby entities. I first check to see if it hit the ground, if not then it will iterate over nearby entities and run the code.
The source will be public soon :)

Posted Sep 3, 2013What do you use to detect the entity hitting a player?

Posted Sep 2, 2013The code itself is a really simple thing, I'll be putting the source to github soon.

Can't get to my computer for about 16 hours, but I see what went wrong. Thank you so much, next time file a ticket though. :) Will be fixed in the next day.
@CommodoreAlpha Item entities, I don't understand how a snowball would be applicable. ?

That's what I thought. :/ But flint isn't an entity?

You can't, unless it's an instance of Projectile. Wouldn't work for Flint, for an example.

Interesting, I didn't think you could just shoot any entity as a projectile? And as for removing from the inventory, i will make it configurable :) However, unless it is desperately needed, I would like to add quite a few more items first.

Posted Sep 2, 2013Hi!
Why you don't remove the thrown item of the inventory and use player.shootProjectile(Snowball.class), remember the entity id and do it that way? I think that looks better and it is much more realistic.
