Nice Laser a video would be interesting

Hmmmmm, I may try to make a video of it. But no ones really showing any interest in it

Doesn't a fishing rod already bring a mob closer to you?

Yes, but not the other way around
And this also brings it to your position so its a more powerful pull.

On another note, does anyone know how to simulate the pull action? So it is a smooth movement rather than a teleport. I have looked at HookShot but its quite buggy and causes people to move too fast so they get kicked. If anyone had anything different to help me out i would be very grateful

setVelocity();

Theres no way that its that simple. If it is then why wouldn't the dev of HookShot use it? Ill still look into it, but i think i have come up with a different way.

See Entity > setVelocity(); at http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/

Well I've managed to get a "Smooth" transport of the player to the entity caught. Only issue is that you can go through walls when you do it if the thing on the end of the line is on the other side of a wall. This isn't a major problem as you don't get damaged but i may, at a later date and if enough people find it an annoyance, add a check to see if there is a block infront of you before continuing forward.
I also didn't use the "Smooth" transport for bringing something towards you as it, well, didn't look smooth at all . Its still in the code so if you want to test it go ahead, its just quoted.
Oh and i added super perm nodes for each event, "dragrod.toplayer" and "dragrod.tocaught", both pretty self explanatory but ill put descriptions in the top.

Version 1.1.1 up now, Added check so player doesn't travel through walls

Tried it and it works Players and mobs.
Is it suppose to bring you to them? It does that about 50% of the time. But its fun for PVP

That should explain it.

I = FAIL

Sounds nice.
I will test it and make a new class in my pvp-arena. ^^

I can do a video for you if you want.

Sure. Go ahead. Like a spotlight?

Sorry didnt recieve an alert or something.
Yeah something like that.
I would show what it does and what you could do with that.

sounds like fun, so it only works on entities? cant do it to blocks?

No, the current bukkit API doesnt allow for me to get the location of the bobber unless it is on an entity. That was my initial plan, but after awhile of looking through the API and asking several people i found that it just isnt possible (for now i hope)

Latest rb please

Tested and working with latest RB. Changed RB in title.

Approved.
