Teleporting a horse (or any mob)

Hi there,

I am having issues when teleporting a horse or any entity other than players.

The entity teleports fine, but is invisible to players until either the entity moves around or the player moves around.

I am using the following code to eject the player from a horse and then teleport the horse and player:

Code:

Horse horse = (Horse)player.getVehicle();
horse.eject();
horse.teleport(safeLocation);
player.teleport(safeLocation);

How do I go about making the horse immediately visible to the player?

Should have added that I have tried teleporting the horse and player on different ticks with no success.

Code:

LivingEntity theHorse = (LivingEntity) horse;

 

Wait what? How will that stop the horse from becoming invisible when teleported?

 

Oh, you could try updating the entity by setting its health to its current health.
Example:

Code:

LivingEntity theHorse = (LivingEntity) horse;
theHorse.setHealth(theHorse.getHealth());

There may be an error, made without an IDE.
