How to shoot an egg on command

I am trying to shoot an egg on command. I know how to shoot a snowball but i don't know how to shoot an egg. And also how would I spawn exp orbs or xp bottle at the position of the egg when it hits the ground.

thanks!

 

I believe it's something like this.

Code:java

player.throwEgg();

(I'm not sure if it's shoot or throw egg)

 

MrInspector coolmonkeyguy That or player.launchProjectile(Egg.class)

As for the xp thing, you need to look into projectilehitevent and then spawn some xp there

 

MrInspector

Code:java

player.throwEgg();

is now deprecated.

I've used throwegg multiple times, never caused me any trouble.

But oh well \;

 

MrInspector, he can use it.

Just thinking that using something that isn't deprecated would be better.

If that's his only option, than he can go for it.

 

I did something similar here, hope this helps you out:

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onPlayerInteract(PlayerInteractEvent e){
        if (!(e.getAction() == Action.RIGHT_CLICK_BLOCK)) return;
        if (!(e.getItem().getType() == Material.BLAZE_ROD)) return;       
        e.getPlayer().launchProjectile(Snowball.class);
    }
 
    @EventHandler
    public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent e){
            Projectile p = e.getEntity();
            if (!(p instanceof Snowball)) return;
            Snowball s = (Snowball) p;
            s.getWorld().createExplosion(s.getLocation(), 0F);
            for (Entity en : s.getNearbyEntities(10, 10, 10)){
                if (en instanceof Player){
                    Player pl = (Player) en;
                    if (!(pl == e.getEntity().getShooter())) pl.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 100, 0));
                }
            }}

 

thanks!

 

coolmonkeyguy np!

 

It works fine, it's just better to use the launchProjectile() method. You may as well, throwEgg() just calls it anyway.
