How to give a player an effect when a egg is thrown?

Question

I’m trying to create a KitPvP with power-ups and I want it so that when someone with the archer kit throws an egg, it gives the person speed and strength. If there’s an add-on for it, please tell me.

Answer 1

It should be possible to do it with a command like this one:

/execute @e[type=egg] ~ ~ ~ effect @a[r=2,tag=archer] speed 10 3 true

This will give any player with the tag archer who is within a radius of 2 blocks of an egg the effect speed for 10 seconds on level 3, while not showing any particles (remove the true if you want players to see the particles).

This will work for any archer throwing an egg, but it will also give other archers who are close to an egg the same effct.

You need to put the command into an active, repeating command block for it to work.

You can chain a command block with this command to give the second effects:

/execute @e[type=egg] ~ ~ ~ effect @a[r=2,tag=archer] strength 10 3 true

And a third command block with this command to remove eggs after they were thrown, to reduce how many players may get the effect (as flying eggs also gives the effects, so throwing an egg at an archer would give both archers the effects).

/kill @e[type=egg]

There is no way for a command block to know who exactly threw the egg in minecraft pocket edition, so after setting this all up EVERY archer within a small radius of the one throwing the egg will get the effects.

This is what it may look like if you set up all 3 command blocks:

Answer 2

I don't know what you mean by "when someone with an archer", but for this I'm assuming it's when a player is near someone with a bow.

Step 1: create an objective that tracks players who throw eggs.

/scoreboard objectives add egg minecraft.used:minecraft.egg

Step 2: run this command in a repeating command block.

/execute as @a[scores={egg=1}] if entity @a[distance=..4,nbt={Inventory:[{id:"minecraft:bow"}]}] run effect give @s speed

This targets all players who had thrown an egg and is within a 4 block radius of someone with a bow and gives the egg thrower speed.

Step 3: repeat step two with any additional effects, then run this last command in a chain command block.

/scoreboard players reset @a egg

Does that help?

EDIT: just noticed you said this is for pocket edition. This may not work after all.
