Removing Arrows From Entity

Hello bukkit. Is it possible to remove the arrow entity once it has hit another entity? For example, I shoot a bow with an arrow and it hits another player, then removes the arrow. My goal is to try and remove the after effect of the arrow sticking out of the player/mob. If there is another way to do that then what I am suggesting is possible, please let me know.

Thanks!

 

Code:java

@EventHandler
    public void onHit(ProjectileHitEvent e) {
        Projectile p = e.getEntity();
if (p instanceof Arrow) {
p.remove();
}
}

.remove() to remove it \o/
You'd need to add some check probably

 

MrTang That's what I am currently using, but when it hits a player/mob it remains in the player/mob, and that is what I am trying to get rid of is that after-effect. Thanks though!

 

ShadowLAX I believe there were other threads on this, I'm not sure if any were solved though

 

reider45 That's cool, but if none of them were solved that doesn't exactly help xD

 

ShadowLAX Maybe you should try the EntityInteractEvent and check if the entity is an arrow. If so , remove the arrow like how you did above but using a different event other than ProjectileHitEvent.

 

You could try doing the remove in a scheduled task for one tick later, maybe that would help?

 

My plugin (swordbow) uses:

Code:java

 
    @EventHandler
    public void onArrowHit(ProjectileHitEvent event) {
        Projectile entity = event.getEntity();
            if(entity instanceof Arrow) {
                Arrow arrow = (Arrow)event.getEntity();
                arrow.remove();
            }
        }
    }
 

 

ShadowLAX I said I wasnt sure, its worth looking around for

 

So I looked around, and I saw some suggested using this:

Code:java

for (Entity entity : player.getNearbyEntities(2.0,2.0,2.0)) {
if (entity.getType() == EntityType.ARROW) {
entity.remove()
}
}

That doesn't work. So I was thinking maybe its client side because that would clear any entities around the player that were arrows, and if they were in the player as well.
