Deflect projectiles

Hey all, I have this problem. I wanna make a feature, that when an arrow hits a player, it reflects back in the opposite direction. However, when the PlayerDamageByEntity event fires, the projectile already removes, and I can't set it's velocity. Can you please help?

Show us your code.

Code:java

 @EventHandler
public void onItem(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
Entity damager = e.getDamager();
if (damager instanceof Projectile) {
e.setCancelled(true);
Vector vel = damager.getVelocity();
damager.setVelocity(new Vector(-vel.getX(), -vel.getY(), -vel.getZ()));
}
}

 

victor2748 Well since the projectile gets removed by then, create a new one.

 

victor2748 there is a ProjectileHitEvent you can listen to

ProjectileHitEvent doesn't let you check what you hit so it's pretty useless in this case.

 

Watto yea, you're right. I wasn't sure about that, sry.
EntityDamageByEntityEvent worked just fine for me. getDamager() returns the entity which damaged the target. check its instance, cast it and then relaunch it. I did this with a snowball
