How can i freeze an entity?

Hey, so i was wondering, how can you actually make an entity not move at all, not even its head?

Also, is there a way to freeze an arrow while on air?

 

Actually, you can teleport it every tick.
But, if you wait 1.8 coming out, you can use the NoAI tag.

Perhaps setting it's velocity to 0 would be a better idea?

 

Clear it's pathfinders.

 

Watto I teleport it every tick because setting its speed to 0 doesn't work - players can move it with their bodies.

 

spiroulis Joiner I wouldn't teleport it every single move event; rather just cancel the move event. I believe this will looks a little better too.

 

ProtoTempus Entities have not a move event.

Teleporting it every tick just doesn't seem like a good idea at all..

RainoBoy97 Suggestion for clearing pathfinders is much better.

 

Well add potion of slowness with time Integer.MAXINT
and amp 20 and for the head movement you can set its target to a invisible entity every 2ticks or so
I don't think players will be able o push it

 

Watto I know, but it is the only way to do this because mine-care is wrong - players can push it.
If you want to avoid a laggy task my suggestion is to wait until 1.8 comes out to use the NoAI tag.

 

Joiner annd yes you can push it sorry didnt notice in the past....

 

mine-care Joiner Watto ProtoTempus well i dont have a problem if they can be pushed by players i just want to make them not move. Clearing the pathfinder and effecting the entity with slowness sound like good ideas, im gonna try them and see what happens. Thank you all for answering, but is there also a way to freeze an arrow that has been shot too?

Freeze an arrow? As in mid-air?

 

CraftCreeper6 yup

 

spiroulis
I suppose you could remove its velocity and teleport it every tick or something?

 

CraftCreeper6 wouldn't that be tooooooo lagy?

 

mine-care
Yes, it would, only thinking of a way to do it. Not saying it's the most efficient

 

CraftCreeper6 you're right =)
Another way is to spawn a invisible block or entity and attach the arrow to it

 

mine-care
Had no idea you could do that.

 

CraftCreeper6 nms can do miracles! Anything is possible**
