Solved Explosion not working

so im trying to create an explosion if an arrow has a certain item meta heres the code ( That doesnt work )

Code:

    @EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.LOWEST)
    public void entityDamagedByArrow(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e) {
        if (!(e.getDamager() instanceof Arrow))
            return;
        if (!(e.getEntity() instanceof LivingEntity))
            return;
        Arrow a = (Arrow) e.getDamager();
        LivingEntity le = (LivingEntity) e.getEntity();
        if (a.hasMetadata("isExploding"))
            a.getWorld().createExplosion(a.getLocation(), 3F);
        if (a.hasMetadata("poisonous"))
            le.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON,
                    5 * 20, a.getMetadata("poisonous").get(0).asInt(), false));
    }

 

Try creating debug lines in between your code and see how far they get

Bukkit.getServer().broadcastMessage("debug1");

and so on in between code and see where the code is stopping, if it doesn't stop it is an issue with the create explosion.

 

I just made this if you wanna give it a shot.
You can make an enumerator called ArrowModifier like so:

Code:

public enum ArrowModifier
{
    EXPLODING, POISONOUS, WITHERING
}

Then on the ProjectileLaunchEvent you can define a HashMap that uses the Arrow's HashCode as the key and an ArrowModifier as a value. I stuck the Arrow's hashcode in and put explosive as the value like so:

Code:

private static HashMap<Integer, ArrowModifier> arrows = new HashMap<>();
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onShoot(ProjectileLaunchEvent e)
    {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof Arrow)
        {
            Arrow a = (Arrow) e.getEntity();
     
            // Right here you can check if they have the "requirements" to have
            // explosions or poison or wither etc, then set it in the map.

            arrows.put(a.hashCode(), ArrowModifier.EXPLODING);
        }
    }

Then on the ProjectileHitEvent check if the damager is an Arrow, and if the entity is a Player. If that passed, Check if the HashMap contains the Arrow's hashcode. If so, check to see if it returned ArrowModifier.EXPLODING, and if that returnes true, BOOM.

Code:

@EventHandler
    public void onArrowHit(EntityDamageByEntityEvent e)
    {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof Player && e.getDamager() instanceof Arrow)
        {
            Player p = (Player) e.getEntity();
     
            Arrow a = (Arrow) e.getDamager();
     
            if (arrows.containsKey(a.hashCode()))
            {
                if (arrows.get(a.hashCode()) == ArrowModifier.EXPLODING)
                {
                    p.getWorld().createExplosion(p.getLocation(), 4.00F);
                }
            }
        }
    }

I don't really know about meta on entities such as arrows, so I prefer to just make maps with
HashCodes

 

nvm fixed! i forgot to specify the arrow as "isExploding" XD

 

ALL MY WORK FOR NOTHING. I'm glad you got it working
