smack that chicken!

I would like to make a plugin where you can hit a chicken with a stick and it will act like a simple pong game. I cant find how I can launch the chicken after hitting. Is it using pathentity()? I take it projectile is only for the egg not the chicken

any ideas awesome ones?

 

you would change the velocity based on the pitch and yaw of the hitter.

 

Try setting the chickens velocity in the players eye direction and multiply it?

 

That's definitely the way I will do it! I'm having trouble working out the syntax to determine the eye direction.

 

Use the location yaw and pitch, and some fancy vector math.

boolean flag = true;

@EventHandler
public void onEntityDamage(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e){
if (e.getEntity() instanceof Chicken && e.getDamager() instanceof Player) {
Chicken en = (Chicken) e.getEntity();
Player player = (Player) e.getDamager();
Bukkit.broadcastMessage( en + " was hit by "+ player.getName() + ".");
// en.setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(3));
en.setVelocity(new Vector(player.getLocation().getX(), 1.0D, player.getLocation().getZ()));
flag = false;
e.setCancelled(true);

}
}
