Solved Summon giant holding stone sword

How do I give him a stone sword I already got this:

Code:

          Location a = new Location(p.getWorld(), p.getLocation().getX(), p.getLocation().getY(), p.getLocation().getZ());
                Entity Sword = p.getWorld().spawnEntity(a, EntityType.GIANT);
                ((LivingEntity)Sword).addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INVISIBILITY,200, 200), true);

Thanks in advance

 

Code:

Location a = new Location(p.getWorld(), p.getLocation().getX(), p.getLocation().getY(), p.getLocation().getZ());
Giant g = (Giant) p.getWorld().spawnEntity(a, EntityType.GIANT);
((LivingEntity)g).addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.INVISIBILITY,200, 200), true);
g.getEquipment().getItemInHand().setType(Material.STONE_SWORD);

Not sure about anything, Just try it xD

 

@_Error that only summons the zombie with the effect but without the sword Any other ideas?

 

Code:

if(g.getEquipment().getItemInHand().equals(null)){
g.getEquipment().getItemInHand().setType(Material.STONE_SWORD);
}

I'm not sure why, Maybe try this?

 

@_Error May i ask why you are spoonfeeding? and even worse, code that isnt gonna work.

Code:

Object one = null;
if(one.equals(null)) -> NPE, one is null, you cant use any methods from it! 

 

Is spoonfeeding illegal? I'm spoonfeeding cause I can, And I'm not too familiar with mobs.

 

Get the equipment of the giant, and use #setItemItemInHand() to set the ItemInHand to a stone sword.

 

@_Error It isnt illegual thats for sure.
The thing is that these forums here are ment to help people, by just sending the code pre-made to the asker will most of the time result in a copy-paste without even reading it or gaining any knowledge. Then the next day the same guy who asks wants to do something different with the same piece of code but has no idea how it was done in the first place, and therefore cannot do the changes needed, then they are back here with a new questions. The problem isnt the ammount of questions, it is the essense! Its them coding afterall, if it was just to give out the code why not making the plugin and spreading them to other people to put on their names/signatures and pass them as theirs.

From my experience in theese forums (infact it was very recently, like yersterday or two days ago) someone asked how he could do an X operaition and someone just threw a piece of code to them, the response was "i copy - pasted your code and it didnt work."
Finally, concerning the piece of code above it is Java not Mobs . I cant force you to stop spoon feeding, but i can recomend you to, and giving a reason (or a few reasons) for my recomendation.

P.S. found it!

I solved it, thanks still. It was done using:

Code:

EntityEquipment ee = g.getEquipment();
ee.setItemInHand(new ItemStack(Material.STONE_SWORD, 1));

To explain it: You get the entity equipment and name it "ee" then you set ee to a new ItemStack, makes sense to me.

 

Thanks for convincing me, I'll try to lower them as much as I can, My explaining is not the best in any way of sort.

 

@_Error you are pretty much the first or second guy to ever listen to me
Thanks!!

 

Sorry to jump in but I unfortunately don't completely agree with this, I think that code should sometimes be given to be analysed / studied. If the user tries to copy and paste, he only does more trouble for himself, but seeing how it can be done and sometimes spoon-feeding him the answers, can solve the solution and help him not have the same problem. I was once spoon-fed a constructor method for Teams and now I'm able to do anything with it, whether it being arenas, or a completely Bukkit non-related things. In conclusion I personally think that spoon-feeding isn't good but it definitely isn't that bad, when used the appropriate way.

 

Thanks

my dad told me im special too

 

@BurnerDiamond
Well, we avoid it exacly because these years we have noticed that when it occurs people just copy-paste it despite all the efforts to explain what miece does what. Unfortunately not all users are like you :- )

But still
