Set Velocity for .launchProjectile()

Hi!

How do you define a velocity for an arrow shot by a player using .launchProjectile()? The docs say you can specify velocity as a second parameter, but I can't figure out what to put in. I'd like it to shoot maybe 50-100 blocks pretty quickly, but in the same direction that the player is facing. I have this, but it doesn't shoot very far.

Code:java

player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);

 

weirdo16 that method returns an Arrow, just use it's velocity methods

 

Code:java

Projectile projectile = player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);
projectile.setVelocity(yourvector);

Easy way to multiply projectile's velocity:

Code:java

projectile.setVelocity(projectile.getVelocity().multiply(2));

Anything over 4 would offset the Projectile from the client and server, making the projectile look like its going another direction

 

OK, thanks everyone! It works now!
