Controlling mob movement

Hi all!

I'm trying to gain control over a specific mob (by entityId). Ideally I'd like to give it a Location and have it move there.

I'm reading in bergerkiller's post that I'd need to extend net.minecraft.server.[entity] and I think I could do it with the EntityLiving class to avoid recreating each creature type. I've never worked with this package before, though.

Anyone have an example/know of a plugin that can move specific mobs? Any help is appreciated.

 

@niko of course I come and take a look.

And no, this is not the case unfortunately. For example:

As you see, you are basically rewriting everything.

If you really need all entities, do it like this:
- Make a fake Entity class that is a placeholder for all functions you wish to use/replace
- Extend all entity types and call the same method of the fake entity class for your custom type.

For example:

Code:

public class CustomCow extends EntityCow {
    //some init stuff here

    public void move(double motX, double motY, double motZ) {
        FakeEntity.move(motX, motY, motZ, this);
    }
 
}

FakeEntity:

Code:

public class FakeEntity {
    public static void move(double motX, double motY, double motZ, Entity e) {
        //do move operations on e
        //replace 'this.' by 'e.'

    }
 
}

But, since you only need movement functions, you would be better off setting and getting the entity velocity. It is quite a hassle to work like this, since you need to spawn and despawn your custom entity as you work with it.

 

@bergerkiller thanks for the reply, sorry it's taking me so long to get back. life attacks

I /think/ I understand what you're saying. even if I don't, you helped me to realize I need to create a way to actually select the specific mob I want to operate on, so that's good! I'll try to update here on my progress with this as it happens.

thanks again for your advice!
