Projectile isn't launching

Try removing this if statement just to check if it works without it.

Code:

if(p.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.getMaterial(getConfig().getString("guns.gun1")))

I have a feeling that the string might have not translated into a material properly.

Also you shouldn't have to set the velocity after calling launchProjectile, as it's supposed to launch it with speed already.

 

The velocity thing is fine I tried. But the if thing didn't work

Instead of making an arrow as a player launching a projectile, cast arrow on a spawn Arrow.class at the player's eye location and set its velocity/shooter.

 

I don't get what you said and im not really trying to change Im trying to make it shoot

Exactly. The code your using to launch an arrow is wrong: which is why your not shooting. Translating my pseudo code, you would get

PHP:

private void Gun1(Player p){
Arrow a = (Arrow) p.getWorld().spawn(p.getEyeLocation(), Arrow.class);
a.setShooter(((LivingEntity) p));
a.setVelocity(p.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(2));
}

Edit: I'm quite sure that config keys are case sensitive, change getString("guns.guns1") to getString("Guns.Guns1")

 

ok thnx

I think it was the config problem and your edit to my code is good.

You need to do this.saveDefaultConfig() before you copyDefaults in your onEnable()

 

ok noted
