    Hello there,

    This is a little bit advanced, but I was wondering how to create a projectile class.

    I am currently launching a projectile like this:
    Code:
    p.launchProjectile(Snowball.class, calculateInacurracy(p.getLocation()).multiply(3));
    But I would like to launch it like this
    Code:
    p.launchProjectile(Bullet.class, calculateInacurracy(p.getLocation()).multiply(3));
    The reason that I want to do this, is so when the projectile hits something, I can check whether it's an instance of Bullet, and if so do some garbage.

    The place that I am stuck now is this. The snowball class is a interface. I cannot extend it and create my own class, I need to implement it. And if I try to implement it, well then I have to use my custom implementation of the methods that I will inherit, for example this:
    Code:
         public void setShooter(ProjectileSource arg0) {
         }
    
    How would I do this?

    ----- SOLVED -----

    All I had to do is go through the pain staking process of changing the methods from
    Code:
         public void setShooter(ProjectileSource arg0) {
         }
    
    to
    Code:
    @Override
         public void setShooter(ProjectileSource arg0) {
           this.setShooter(arg0);
         }
    

    If anybody wants the entire class and not have to go through the 1h process of doing that here:
    the pain (open)

    Code:
    private class Bullet implements Snowball {
    
         @Override
         public ItemStack getItem() {
           return this.getItem();
         }
    
         @Override
         public void setItem(ItemStack arg0) {
           this.setItem(arg0);
         }
    
         @Override
         public boolean doesBounce() {
           return this.doesBounce();
         }
    
         @Override
         public ProjectileSource getShooter() {
           return this.getShooter();
         }
    
         @Override
         public void setBounce(boolean arg0) {
           this.setBounce(arg0);
         }

    @MrDaniel, I believe your solution would cause a stack overflow error. When making a class that implements an interface, you should have the class do something with those methods by itself since methods from an interface have no actual implementations.

    @KarimAKL what do you mean? I tested it and it works as intended. I think what it does is call the methods from it's parent class (Projectile/Entity) and not the methods that it created itself. I could be wrong, but it works.

    It is a projectile, so of course, you can spawn it using launchProjectile(), but did you try calling any of your Bullet class' methods? I believe calling any of them should cause a stack overflow error.

    An interface cannot have a parent class.

    Yep I tried. It did not cause stack overflow, after firing 1000 projectiles server was running just fine.

    You're right, it has a parent interface.

    How in the world does this work then?

    I guess the compiler or JVM avoids that for you.

    The methods should be doing nothing, so they are not "working," they are simply not erroring.

    getLocation is being overrriden and when I call the method I do get the location of the projectile, and not a stack overflow error or anything unexpected.

    Oh, interesting. I wonder what Bukkit does with it. However, I am too lazy to check the source code right now. :p
