I have it set like this

onUseOnEntity[0] = "mod.loadScript('knockback.js');knockback(2.0,'living');";

You'd right click a zombie and he'd go flying in the direction you're looking, if I remember correctly. You could set it to 'onHitEntity' too, though, so when you bop 'em they go flying.

Hmm... it's not working for me apparently. :/

Seems none of the "living" stuff is working for me in the version I am using: customStuff2-0.10.6b-universal

Interesting. How would I go about calling this function? Sorry... still very new to the mod.

That... That doesn't make any sense. Like, at all. What's your item/randPotato.js look like

Yeah, that extended code just further mixes things up with random combinations. :/

Here is the item code.

id = config.getItemId("goldenPotatoID");
name = "goldenPotato";
displayName[0] = "Golden Potato";
information[0] = "Mysterious Mash!";
textureFile[0] = "gold_potato.png";
maxStack = 1;
hasEffect[0] = true;
full3d = false;
addToCreative[0] = true;
creativeTab = "food";
saturation[0] = 24.0;
hunger[0] = 4;
alwaysEdible[0] = true;
potion[0] = "regeneration";
potionDuration[0] = 30;
potionAmplifier[0] = 4;
potionProbability[0] = 1.0;
usingAction[0] = "eat";
leaveContainerItem = false;
onEaten[0] = "mod.loadScript('goldenPotato.script');";

Hate to keep asking for more help, but I was wondering if it was possible to code it to knockback a mob when hit with an item and further more, knock them into the air at the same time for a "homerun" style effect.

try something like...

var randPotato;
randPotato = Math.floor(Math.random()*100);
player.sendMessage(randPotato);

if(randPotato < 50)
{
player.addPotionEffect('Leap',6000,0);
}
else
{
player.addPotionEffect('Flight',6000,0);
}

This of course is only if you have two effects... If you have a third effect you might want something more like

var randPotato;
randPotato = Math.floor(Math.random()*100);
player.sendMessage(randPotato);

if(randPotato < 33)
{
player.addPotionEffect('Leap',6000,0);
}
else if(randPotato > 33 && randPotato < 66)
{
player.addPotionEffect('Flight',6000,0);
}
else if(randPotato > 99)
{
player.addPotionEffect('wither',6000,0);
}
else
{
player.addPotionEffect('nightvision',6000,0);
}

etc, changing the range for each effect you add.

I used this code and the first time it got 64 and gave me only flight. Second time, it got 65 and gave me both. I'm baffled. :/

Lemme peek your code

You could do a roundabout fix for it, abusing this

if(Math.floor(Math.random()*100) < 25)

(this is, it generates a random number 1-100 (or 0-99, or 0-100, not entirely sure), and if the generated number is less than 25...)

just do a bunch of if, else if, else if... one statement for each effect, use a lower number like maybe 5%, and if it goes through the whole list without picking one, have it run itself again.

Here is the current state of it. Switched it around a ton to see if it would work and never did.

var randPotato;
randPotato = Math.floor(Math.random()*2);

player.sendMessage(randPotato);

if(randPotato === 0)
{
player.addPotionEffect('Leap',6000,0);
}
else if(randPotato === 1)
{
player.addPotionEffect('Flight',6000,0);
}

var randPotato = null;

Hmm... using the 1.6 version and I can't seem to get the code to work properly for a food to have a random potion effect. I've done it inline and I've done it as a script and each time, when the random number is 0, it will give you only the first choice, but if it's 1, it will give you the first and second choice despite that not being possible by all conventional coding knowledge. I've even tested other code in the case or if statements and it works as it properly should... for some reason the player functions aren't though. :/

Idk if it still works but in older versions there was an attribute isMagical (i think) that would add the overlay

Thanks, dude! It's hasEffect

Also, any chance of adding a setting on any item that would put the shiny enchant overlay over it?

Quote from moeren86

Not in CustomStuff 2, back in 1 it was possible...

Alright... any idea of an alternative or if it will ever be added to CS2?

Here's episode 4 for ya guys!

I've done a lot of searching and can't figure out if this is possible or not, but is the ability to create a basic throwable item like a snowball in CustomStuff2 and if not, will it be added at some point?

A little bit of derpage here in episode 3 of the series...

Quote from Lithial

well at some point ill release what i've got. i haven't really spent much time with it, its just the enchantments that copy pasted over to 1.7

Really hope it's not too long before a 1.6.4 bugfix. Working on a modpack and I really love the enchants here especially because of how awesome knockback X and verticality X combined works out. XD
