Solved Add potion effects to mobs

Hey there :3


For a minigame I'm currently working on I need to "enchant" mobs. So the player has a stick with which he can e.g. poison mobs (rightclick).

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onRightClick(PlayerInteractEntityEvent piee) {
    if (!(piee.getRightClicked() instanceof LivingEntity)) return; // So that the player does not poison a minecart.
 
    LivingEntity lentity = (LivingEntity) piee.getRightClicked();
    if (piee.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType() != null && piee.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType() == Material.STICK) {
        lentity.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 100, 1));
    }
}

But there's neither an effect nor an error. Adding the potion effect as i did it seems to not do anything at all...

By googling I found this thread, where the thread author himself came up with the idea of doing

Code:java

lentity.hasPotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON);

He / she was sure that this fixed his / her problem, but it just returns a boolean and IMO doesn't do anything but this. It does not really _add_ the effect, does it?



Hopefully someone can show me how to add those effects.

Thanks,

Did you added a debug line to check if this line: lentity.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.POISON, 100, 1)); does get called? And also rightclick a sheep or something like that, because poison won't do anything on zombie, so maybe thats the reason ^^ The other stuff is right and should work,but better check: "piee.getPlayer().getItemInHand() != null" instead of "piee.getPlayer().getItemInHand().getType() != null"

 

Jalau Oh man, THANK you! I did not know that poison doesn't effect hostile mobs...

 

No problem ^^
