[NMS] EntityPig to target last damager(player)

Hello, I have (onEnable) a method that spawns an EntityPig that spawns at a rate of 5 min with a random location in a radius with the name "Fighter". Then, I have an EntityDamageByEntityEvent checking if the damaged is a pig and it has the name "Fighter", I want to make that EntityPig become enemy to that player and follow it and hit it. How can I make it happen? Shall I use Navigation? Shall I use .setGoalTarget? Thanks!

 

extend EntityPig. and find a tutorial on custom mob registering.

 

Extend it?? Why? I have EntityPig p = //get the pig;

Extend it so you can modify the AI?
Just a guess. I've never made angry pigs before.

 

HeavyMine13 My method:

1. Set the pigs direction to the nearest player. (Note: I would make sure the pig can see the player and set a max radius for the pig to go to the player. If none of the requirements are met, then don't do anything with the pig)
2. Make a cooldown length of attacks for the mob. Ie 2 seconds
3. Make a boolean coolwown and set it to false.
4. If cool down is equal to false, and the mob is within a certain distance of a player, manually attack that player.
5. Set cooldown to true, and start a delayed task of you desired time length and set cooldown back to false after this time

I hope you understand the process!

 

How to do step 4? Isn't there a way with NMS to do this auto?

 

I don't use NMS, so I was just explaining a way to use my method. There could be a way to auto do that in NMS, but it might only be for certain entity types

 

Look into manipulating PathfinderGoals.
To get you started off, you should use PathfinderGoalMeleeAttack and PathfinderGoalNearestAttackableTarget

 

Wont that make it attack any player not ones who hit it?
