Potion Throwing Skill

Open zerafox opened this issue 11 years ago • 11 comments

Not sure if this is possible, but I had a wonderful idea to add to my pet trees as I was working on them.

Make it so pets could use potions on their owners?

I'd love to be able to create a healing tree for the pets on my server. If a pet could use potions/splash potion on/for their owners that would open up a whole new window to the usage of the pets I think.

From what I can tell, you're using abilities and features that Minecraft gives us already as far as skills for the pets and I think a flat out "heal spell" would be too much to ask for, if it were even possible to do. XD

I can't help but be super curious about the status of this? I see it hasn't been rejected or accepted yet and it makes me think maybe it's being considered and looked into? ^.^

I really hope so! I think this would be amazing!

Then again, perhaps it's waiting for other player's support too? >.> In which I'd like comment that my players have come to me and asked if it were possible to keep the witch's ability to throw their potions of harming, etc; And if something like this were implemented I think something like that could be done to keep it? :3

Ok I thought about this. I will add a skill which allows a MyPet to throw potions (no matter which potions but it has to be a throwable one. Maybe other potions too but then the pet has to be within a range of 2 blocks or so). If you type the command for the skill it will open an inventory where you can put the potions the pet can throw. But every potion will have a cooldown which can be decreased by upgrading the skill. The cooldown will depend on the effects(+ effect levels) the potion has.

Sounds fair to me! :3

I've just been told by a player a health potion can be in throw-able form so that works for me! Also since it will be a "restock pets potion inventory" that will help economies with players who make potions to sell in their shops! :3

As for the range of 2 blocks or so, is that dependent on the type of potion and would the pet be able to determine what kind of potion it was using and use it properly? Or perhaps a configuration to determine what kind of potions the pet was able to hold?

so, say like I wanted pet X only to be able to use potions that Healed... He would only be able to hold healing potions, and he would use those on his owner? And say pet Z could only hold potions that did damage, that pet would then use them against mobs? Or Pet Y who could use only healing and some utility types, like Strength or fire resist? And any other potions not specific to these pets couldn't be carried?

I will add a restock and an infinite version.

Sure, a pet poisoning his owner would be useless xD I will try to make the pets as smart as possible (for me).

This would end in a very complex skill upgrading configuration so I will not add this at this point. Maybe I will add this later.

Just curious, is there any news on this being added to MyPet in the near future? :P

Not really :/ I don't have the motivation to work on the plugin and other projects have a higher priority right now.

Fair enough. ^.^ Certainly no rush, and was just touching base on the subject. As always, thank you for your wonderful work. <3
