Homing Missile

Hello. I was wondering if anyone could make me a Heat Seeking Missile plugin that ties into crackshot. I need this for my server. So, basically, I use crackshot and I'm a very good coder, but I can't make a heat seeking missile! I'd like it to track down players. Thanks a bunch!

I am Eff7ctz, my team is able to code you this, but it might not tie into crackshot.

 

If you are a coder, here's how I would do it.
1. Make a thread/task timer and a list with all missiles in play
2. Every loop recalculate the vector to the destination using vector subtraction to prevent lag
3. Profit
You could try parabolic equations to make it more missile like but update speed would have to be dramatically reduced to compensate.

 

I messaged you back.

 

Hey man, thanks! That'd be great! Its fine if it doesn't tie with crackshot. As long as it is a firework rocket and tracks people (like gtamc), I'm cool! Please do make it my man xD Anyways, let me know when you're done / need something! Thanks again!

 

I can make a plugin that adds homing projectiles( Arrows and fireballs ). I can't make it tie into crackshot, but if this is what you want, then I will release it.

 

I've started work on it, I thought of using guardians since they are very homing missile like. Is that ok​

 

@BenHudHill
I have released the plugin here: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/homing-fireballs
Unfortunately, it doesn't hook into the Crackshot API, but it should home in on players if you enable dispensers.

 

just use e.setTarget(e2)

 

yes

 

But not a single mob in Mc can fly and attack their target like a missile, can they? You need to calculate their vectors instead. You could use targeting, however, to make their face point towards the target.
