Mineplex Paintball Shotgun Related Programming

As you may notice, if you have played Mineplex, and have studied their game, Super Paintball, which yes, I am pretty good at it, I am curious how the shotgun is programmed.

Things that make me curious about it:

• The spread of the shotgun
• The vectors of each snowball/enderpearl
• The Hit-and-run

I am wondering how they make the spread of the shotgun so random and well spread. And if you have played the game long enough, you would know a few techniques to it, including the slide-by (pass a person on their side while you shoot them, thus killing them). I have attempted to recreate the Mineplex Paintball Shotgun, and I have closely got the spread, but can't seem to get an instant kill with multiple bullets landing on the person.

What I want to know how:

• How to make the same kind of spread or at least a good spread.
• How to make an instant kill if 4+ projectiles hit them.

Thank you very much.

 

This is a good question. Hope to see replies soon

 

This is what you need to do

Like if I helped

 

Like it? I LOVED IT, now to get the spread right, you want the butter in good places but not too far

I just realized a few minutes before posting this, that it doesn't seem to work, does it have to be .setDamage or can it be .setHealth? I used .setHealth, but if I must, I will use .setDamage. Also as well, it may be the spread that caused the damage issue. Need more butter concentrated D:


Edit: I think I know the problem, I need to use .setDamage but in .setDamage the health is lowered and stuff, so how much in .setDamage(?) is 5 health or 2 and a half hearts?

Edit 2: I don't think the post you gave me worked, the damages still have a cooldown before they get more damage.

Spread:
Use locations. Get the players location, add a random amount to the pitch/yaw, then get the direction (Don't make the player teleport to the pitch/yaw, create a new location!)

 

Thanks, but I think I found it out, now I need to find out exactly what code I need to make a shotgun instant kill with 4 bullet hit.
Thanks for trying to tell me though

 

@Agentleader1 I recreated mineplex paintball 100% with all features and the page I linked you to works becaue that's the code I use for my minigame so obviously you arent registering our events. Post your code.

 

Bump, still need help.

 

I'm out.

 

@Agentleader1

Stealing code is not the same thing as re-creating it. Otherwise, Bukkit would go against our very own beliefs. It does, after all, replicate the MC Server.

 

I don't really agree with that, because CraftBukkit is based on the MC Server and contains all it's code. Bukkit doesn't replicate anything, because it's just the API.

Glowstone, for example, is recreating the MC Server.

 

@FerusGrim But they added so, so much to it.

 

@nverdier What are the features of Glowstone (I heard the name somewhere)?

 

@Experminator Glowstone is Open Source. Of course they aren't breaking any laws, because they are 're-creating' Mojang's server. It's also lightweight, and has great performance (all of this is just on their website). And they also say that they have a "Mature API" which means somewhat like the Bukkit API.

 

@FerusGrim Why did you tag me in this?

 

s/bukkit/craftbukkit

I didn't - I quoted you. I was reiterating to the OP to post his code.

 

@FerusGrim Oh my apologizes.

 

I will always need help with making the shotgun "instant kill." The day I find the answer is the day I end this thread.

 

Bump, it's never gonna happen is it? T_T

 

A snowball interacts with a player, use some event like projectilehitEvent
