Sending a fireball to someone

Hello,

How do I send a fireball entity from one location to another? It has to hit the block at that exact location.

This is the code I currently have:

Code:

// et = a player entity
Location loc = et.getLocation(); loc.setY(loc.getY() + 3); // Make the fireball spawn 3 blocks above the player
Fireball fb = (Fireball)et.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc, EntityType.FIREBALL);
Vector target = new Vector(); target.setX(pTarget.getLocation().getX()); target.setY(pTarget.getLocation().getY() -1 ); target.setZ( pTarget.getLocation().getZ() );
fb.setDirection(target);

However, this just shoots the fireball at the same direction every time, which is not the X/Y/Z coordinates of the target player.

I also tried to launch the projectile at a specific block location, and that didn't work too.

 

subtract the target location from the current location (or the other way round). So that it becomes:

Code:

target.setX(loc.getX() - pTarget.getLocation().getX());
// etc...
