Allowing arrows to go through a player

I was just wondering if there was a way, other than teleporting the player and/or the arrow, to allow an arrow to fly through a player. Thanks!

That would probably have to do with changing the hitbox of the actual player. I'm not sure how to do this but you can look it up. I'm sure there will be a few posts regarding this.

 

r0306 That seems like it might work. I'll look it up, thanks!

 

Maybe get the velocity of the arrow, teleport the arrow through the player, apply the velocity?

 

r0306 There are a lot of things with the word hitbox in it. I looked through them all, the only thing that was close to pertinent was this...

There'll probably be more related posts on the Minecraft Forums since the Hitbox has nothing to do with the API. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1255309-increasing-the-hitbox-of-a-custom-mob/

 

r0306 I'm beginning to think it's not possible to 'ignore' the hitbox without editing minecraft itself.. So, how would you suggest going about teleporting the arrow behind a player? Would I have to cancel the ProjectileHitEvent and create a new arrow behind the player?

I still recommend going for the bounding box, which can be modified here: https://github.com/Bukkit/CraftBukkit/blob/master/src/main/java/net/minecraft/server/Entity.java

Just add the actual server JAR file (not the development JAR) into your build path.
