Solved Disable gravity for FishHook's?

Hi there,

I'd like to disable FishHook's from falling due to gravity when they hit a block but I cannot seem to get it working using `setGravity(false)`. Is there a way to achieve this?

Code:

  @EventHandler
   public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent e) {
     if (e.getEntity() instanceof FishHook) {
       FishHook fishHook = (FishHook) e.getEntity();
       if (fishHook.getShooter() instanceof Player) {
         Player player = (Player) fishHook.getShooter();
           if (e.getHitBlock() != null) {
             fishHook.setGravity(false);
             // Also tried using a recurring bukkit task to set velocity
             // And also tried using a recurring bukkit task to teleport the FishHook to e.getHitBlock().getLocation()
           }
       }
     }
   }

You could possibly spawn an invisible armour stand and set the hook as the armour stands passenger like so

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void hookStuck(ProjectileHitEvent e) {
        if (e.getEntity() instanceof FishHook) {
            FishHook fishHook = (FishHook) e.getEntity();
            if (fishHook.getShooter() instanceof Player) {
                Player player = (Player) fishHook.getShooter();
                if (!e.getHitBlock().getLocation().getBlock().isEmpty()) {             
                    Location hitblock = e.getHitBlock().getLocation().add(0.5, 0, 0.5);
                    ArmorStand armorStand = player.getWorld().spawn(hitblock, ArmorStand.class);
                    armorStand.addPassenger(fishHook);
                    armorStand.setGravity(false);
                    armorStand.setVisible(false);
                    armorStand.setSmall(true);
                    armorStand.setArms(false);
                    armorStand.setMarker(true);
                    armorStand.setBasePlate(false);
                    fishHook.setGravity(false);
                    fishHook.setBounce(true);
                    fishHook.setMetadata("hook", new FixedMetadataValue (this, ""));
                }
            }
        }
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void hookRemove(PlayerFishEvent e){
        Player p = e.getPlayer();
        FishHook hook = e.getHook();
        if(p instanceof Player){
            if(e.getState() == State.IN_GROUND && hook.hasMetadata("hook")) {
                hook.removeMetadata("hook", this);
                hook.getVehicle().remove();
            }
        }
    }

This code isn't polished, so the hooks position may look strange, but I am sure you can fix that easily.

 

With a few edits that worked flawlessly. Much appreciated @Tango_!

 

Glad I could help
