entity

i want to create an entity and change its meta data. i want to spawn a player entity. How can i do this?

 

Try this library: Remote Entities.

Human Entities have been removed for a while, but using modified packets you can "spawn" players. That's how most plugins that have NPCs do it. With that plugin you could do something like this:

Code:

EntityManager manager = RemoteEntities.createManager(this);
RemoteEntity entity = manager.createEntity(RemoteEntity.Human, Bukkit.getWorld("world").getSpawnLocation(), true);

Then you can add goals to make it do what you want.

 

Shiny Quagsire that hasnt been done for 1.4.6, it says 1.4.4/1.4.5 only

 

The forum post says 1.4.4/1.4.5 but you can download the 1.4-SNAPSHOT version from here which should work with 1.4.6.

 

ok but isnt there another way without including more libarys in my plugin?

 

You could do it manually using reflection, but using a library would make things go a lot easier.

 

ok but i currently have 8 diffrent libarys and im trying to cut them down. ive done 2, just 8 to go. theres surly a way to do it as in the apis you can spawn player (or can you spawn a vilager and set it to player)

 

Create an net.minecraft.server.<version>.EntityPlayer and use that in the Packet20NamedEntitySpawn packet

 

how would i do the reflection thing?

 

I haven't seen any tutorial for player entities, but this or this may be helpful.

 

thanks but how would i initialise an entity to be a villager:

Code:

Entity ent = new Entity();

thats what i tried but its wrong

 

Try something like this:

Code:

World w = getServer().getWorld("world")
Entity ent = w.spawnEntity(Location, EntityType.VILLAGER);

Edit: where Location is the org.bukkit.Location where you want it to spawn and w is the world you want it to spawn in

 

i know that works but im trying to do something else (set meta data as it works on other things). but i need to initalize the variable
