Exploding Arrows help!

Hey! I'm new to bukkit plugin coding and im trying to make a plugin! Its not really exploding arrows, thats just what im using to learn how to do it. I want so that if you craft a special arrow with an arrow and tnt, it will create an exploding arrow! Then if i use it, it will explode when it hits the ground!

This is what i have so far:

Main class:

Code:java

package me.r0xoW.explodingarrows;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ShapelessRecipe;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
 
public static Main plugin;
public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
public final Listeners ls = new Listeners();
 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
PluginDescriptionFile pdffile = this.getDescription();
this.logger.info(pdffile.getName() + " Version " + pdffile.getVersion() + " Has been Enabled!");
this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(ls, this);
 
ItemStack is = new ItemStack(Material.ARROW);
ShapelessRecipe sr = new ShapelessRecipe(is).addIngredient(Material.ARROW).addIngredient(Material.TNT);
this.getServer().addRecipe(sr);
}
 
@Override
public void onDisable() {
PluginDescriptionFile pdffile = this.getDescription();
this.logger.info(pdffile.getName() + " Version " + pdffile.getVersion() + " Has been Enabled!");
this.getServer().clearRecipes();
}
}
 

Listeners Class:

Code:java

package me.r0xoW.explodingarrows;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
 
import org.bukkit.Location;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Arrow;
import org.bukkit.entity.LivingEntity;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.entity.Projectile;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.ProjectileHitEvent;
import org.bukkit.event.entity.ProjectileLaunchEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.metadata.FixedMetadataValue;
 
public class Listeners implements Listener {
public static Main plugin;
public static final List<String> players = new ArrayList<String>();
ItemStack is = new ItemStack(Material.ARROW);
 
@EventHandler
public void onProjectileLaunch(ProjectileLaunchEvent event) {
Projectile projectile = event.getEntity();
LivingEntity shooter = projectile.getShooter();
if (shooter instanceof Player && projectile instanceof Arrow && players.contains(((Player)shooter).getName())) {
projectile.setMetadata("Explosive", new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, true));
}
}
 
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
@EventHandler
public void onProjectileHit(ProjectileHitEvent event) {
Projectile projectile = event.getEntity();
LivingEntity shooter = projectile.getShooter();
if (projectile.hasMetadata("Explosive")){
Location loc = projectile.getLocation();
projectile.getWorld().createExplosion(loc, 10, true);
projectile.remove();
}
}
}
 

 

Okay. What's the problem? Is it not working, or is there something you don't know how to do?

Edit: I notice you aren't setting the "plugin" variable in your Listeners class. That's probably causing some problems for you.

 

It doesnt work everytime i launch an arrow! and i want to learn to use recipes for these type of events like one special recipe makes a special item ( a normal item, but changes the name) and only that item makes an explosion

Maybe you have to register the listeners?

Add this to you Listeners class:

Code:java

    public Listeners(Main plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, plugin);
    }

And change this in your main class

Code:java

public final Listeners ls = new Listeners();

To:

Code:java

public final Listeners ls;

and add this in your onEnable

Code:java

ls = new Listeners(this);

 

gives an error :

 

Everything looks to be in order except for one part in your onEnable(). Change the

Code:java

this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(ls, this);

To:

Code:java

Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this.ls, this);

I believe that would fix the problem but I may not be sure. It also removes the need to have the:

Code:java

public Listners(Main plugin) {
this.plugin = plugin;
Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, plugin);
}
