Method Details

setDirection

void setDirection(@NotNull
 Vector direction)

Sets the direction the fireball should be flying towards.
This is a convenience method, it will change the velocity direction and acceleration direction, while keeping the power the same.
Note: This method only uses the direction of the vector and will normalize (a copy of) it.
Special Case: When the given direction is zero, the velocity and acceleration will also be set to zero without keeping the power.

Parameters:

direction - the direction this fireball should be flying towards

See Also:

• Entity.setVelocity(Vector)
• setAcceleration(Vector)

getDirection

@NotNull
@Deprecated(since="1.20.6")
Vector getDirection()

Deprecated.

badly named method, returns the value of getAcceleration()

Retrieve the direction this fireball is heading toward. The returned vector is not normalized.

Returns:

the direction

See Also:

• getAcceleration()

setAcceleration

void setAcceleration(@NotNull
 Vector acceleration)

Sets the acceleration of the fireball. The acceleration gets applied to the velocity every tick, depending on the specific type of the fireball a damping / drag factor is applied so that the velocity does not grow into infinity.
Note: that the client may not respect non-default acceleration power and will therefore mispredict the location of the fireball, causing visual stutter.

Parameters:

acceleration - the acceleration

getAcceleration

@NotNull
Vector getAcceleration()

Retrieve the acceleration of this fireball.

Returns:

the acceleration
