Tutorial: How to create an ability in ProjectKorra

[Coolade]

So, I'm fairly new to this, but I was looking for some help as to how to make blocks appear and disappear, such as the Torrent Wall move that pushes entities away for Waterbending. I'm trying to create a move called WaterExplosion, which is supposed to kinda of create a wall almost like the same move, but cause damage and have a slightly different animation and speed. Anyway you could help?

You should refer to the advanced ability tutorial written by @jedk1

This seems good, but I am having problems installing jdk on my 32 bit computer(already installed eclipse on my 64 bit laptop) Ok. WHY CAN'T THE 36 BIT ONE JUST BE CALLED 36 AND NOT 86!!!! CONFUSION AHOY!!!!! Anyways, got the jdk, just waiting for it to update java and configure stuff and stuff like that.

Well I got my laptop back, I decided that computer was too crappy to get the jdk thing working on it, so I am working on my laptop now. WHY ARE THE BUKKIT LEGAL ISSUES STILL A THING?!?!?

Use spigot 1.8 or the bukkit/craftbukkit 1.8 they released. ProjectKorra requires 1.8.

Thanks for telling me that, could you post a link?

Hi, I encountered an error while doing this tutorial. I use IntelliJIDEA opposed to Eclipse.

Here is the error:

Here is the path.yml code:

main-class: me.Moopy.korra.abilities.IgniteInformation

The IgniteInformation:

Here's a picture of my layouty stuff\

Another weird thing I've found, is that the Ignite.jar is around 6 000 kb in size.

Welp, hope you can help, sorry if I wasn't very clear.

 

[Moopy]

OK, I found the problem; I wasn't exporting my project properly. I am currently in the process of tracking down tutorials that teach me how to do this in IntelliJ IDEA.

ProjectKorra uses Spigot. http://spigotmc.info

 

[Mage_x]

[Theavatarteam]

note: this only is when im making a normal plugin, the korra abilitie way works

 

[jedk1]

note: this only is when im making a normal plugin, the korra abilitie way works

this is a thread on making abilities. not plugins. google has lots of help for that.

17:16:51 Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Jar does not contain plugin.yml

also that should make it clear what the error is

 

[Theavatarteam]

ok, im just saying it doesnt work like his video about making a bukkit plugin so he could add a solution to that

 

[Finn_Bueno_]

ok, im just saying it doesnt work like his video about making a bukkit plugin so he could add a solution to that

The video is not about making an ability. It's to explain some stuff, that you should know before making an ability.
