Setting Entity Velocity

How would I set the velocity of an entity (such as an arrow or an egg) to project based on where I am looking..

I'd want the egg to be going semi fast..


Cheers

 

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onShoot(ProjectileLaunchEvent event) {
if(event.getEntity() instanceof Arrow) {
Arrow arrow = (Arrow) event.getEntity();
if(arrow.getShooter() instanceof Player) {
Player shooter = (Player) arrow.getShooter();
shooter.launchProjectile(Egg.class).setVelocity(arrow.getVelocity());
}

A bit confused but should work fine

 

How do i do that without the need to shoot an arrow?

 

Code:java

shooter.launchProjectile(Snowball.class).setVelocity(new Vector(1,1,1));

You will need to create a vector, i don't know exactly what the numbers stand for but you can just try it out?!

 

That's working, but not where I am looking at.

 

EmilMcDuck the numbers stand for the x y and z axis.

EDIT: eg, if you would apply a vector 0 5 0 to a player, the player would be rocketed into the sky.

 

You have to get the vector for your target block...

 

Wrong, you have to get the vector of the player, which can be achieved by checking his location.

 

Ivan How would you do this?

 

Vector vector = player.getLocation().getDirection();

 

I already tried this, but the snowball is as fast as it is in its normal case

sorry emil, tagged the wrong person :/

give this a try:

Code:java

shooter.launchProjectile(WHATEVER.class).setVelocity(player.getLocation().getDirection().multiply(SOME FACTOR));
//switch WHATEVER.class
//SOME FACTOR should be 3 - 5ish
