Best way to watch monster movement?

Is there a good way to watch monster movement in bukkit? I was hoping for a monster/creature movement hook but it doesn't seem to exist.

 

http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/index.html heres all the info u need to find a way to move entities

 

I don't want to move entities, I want to watch their movement... in other words, when they move, I want to know about it.

 

i would like to know the same. how to watch when they move, and possibly prevent movement.

 

Make a loop that loops through all entities in the world and check their location. You may store their location in HashMap and then compare it to see if they moved.

 

While I know this would work...I feel like it would be EXTREMELY inefficient and cause a lot of unecessary weight on the server.

However, I can't really think of another way to do it...
Someone should make an issue and ask for an EntityMoveEvent

 

Well, you can put it in separate thread to lift weight from server. But yeah, AFAIK there is no another way. I was looking for that too but then dropped searching and just went with previously mentioned solution.

 

guess going that way is actualy the only possible one.. *sigh*

 

If you don't mind depending on another plugin, my plugin Crowd Control has the event built in that you can register and hook into.
