setVelocity trouble

[wooden moon]

i have this simple code in a Listener class.

    @EventHandler(priority=EventPriority.HIGH)
    public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent event) {
        if (event.isCancelled()) return;
        if (event.getHitEntity() == null) return;

        getLogger().info(event.getHitEntity().getVelocity().toString());
        event.getHitEntity().setVelocity(new Vector(0, 4, 0));
        getLogger().info(event.getHitEntity().getVelocity().toString());
    }

when i shoot a stationary mob nothing happens to it, but when i shoot a mob that's falling or jumping up a block it gets launched into the sky. any advice?
(2nd logger statement outputs a y velocity of 4.0 even when the mob doesn't move)

anyone ran into this issue

when binding it to a command it doesn't occur

I was able to solve your problem by setting the velocity in a scheduler. I think that the velocity you set would otherwise be overwritten by the velocity (knockback) from the arrow.

alright thanks

i suspected that

whats Main.getPlugin()

do i have to add a getPlugin method with my main class (the one that extends JavaPlugin)?

[feral badger]

This is just my method to get the JavaPlugim from my main class and log accordingly for debugging.
You don't need the method, it worked for you without/differently.

You actually only need to change the line with the Bukkit.getScheduler on your code

Idk how to get it tho

Could i see the method

[wooden moon]

or any other way to get it @feral badger? i never needed to get plugin class from another class

or wait would something like this work

Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(new MushroomBowEvents(this), this);

...

    Plugin plugin;
    public MushroomBowEvents(Plugin plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
``` ?

[feral badger]

Oh, that's right, you need the plugin for the scheduler.... Completely forgotten. You just need the few lines in your main.

  private static Main plugin = null;

  @Override
  public void onLoad() {
    plugin = this;
  }

  public static Main getPlugin() {
    return plugin;
  }

[feral badger]

That might work, but better take the method with the Main.
