Suggestion Lightning suggestion

[Trampolineer]

So, last time I thought of something. Wouldn’t it make sense that if you hit a creeper with lightning, it would turn into a charged creeper? I don’t know if this feature is already inplemented. If not, it would be really cool to add it!

 

[MeskenasBoii]

It isn't implemented, but I agree with you.

 

[Trampolineer]

Bump

Oh boy it used to be this way when it was the old vanilla lightning. Now it doesn't happen. I kinda miss it.

I'm not sure that there's a method you could use to charge a creeper... I guess you MIGHT be able to remove the targeted creeper and maybe spawn a new one with a charged ID (if there is one). But this is all hypothetical as I haven't dealt with charging creepers before.

 

[xNuminousx]

Okay so I've quickly looked into it and I'm pretty sure this is how you would set a creeper as charged (without spawning a new one, just editing the state of the one you've striked).

if (entity instanceof Creeper) {
                            Creeper creepTarget = (Creeper) entity;
                            creepTarget.setPowered(true);
                        }

Explination
What you do is check for entities around the location of the lightning bolt. What the provided code does is check if a target that came into contact with the bolt is a creeper. If it is, then we set the creeper to charged (in the code it's called powered).

I understand this wasn't asking for code help but figured I'd share what I found lol

nice research

 

[xNuminousx]

So I was curious on if I could make this suggestion a reality and apparently I can. My research proved fruitful!

 

[xNuminousx]

I made a PR to the ProjectKorra repo. Maybe it'll happen?

Just make it an addon, num. Till it's official, people will start downloading.

 

[xNuminousx]

Not sure I can just make it an addon without recoding Lightning.

It could be neat, but I often find it much cooler to encounter a charged creeper when they can only be found rarely due to natural lightning. It also makes heads quite a special trophy.

That wouldn't stop you from choosing though. Might be a problem If you don't want others, but a config option would solve that.

What meskenasboii said. And i think that there ARE people who would find it cool.

It's very easy. When lightning hits an entity (there are events for this), if it's a creeper, "CHARGE!". It can be done with a single class, too.

I tried using those Pk events but they weren’t working.

You're right about some of them not working. It seems the EntityBendingDeathEvent isn't triggered properly like it should.
