Mobs help you in pvp

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there were any plugins that allows you to summon mobs that will help you pvp. I.E they will not attack you but will attack the closest entity. I don't want a wolf, but a skeleton, zombie, or any other mob would be cool!

 

You can't change the AI of a mob

 

You can probably have it to damage the nearest mob according to the 'tamed' mob. I'm not sure who would make this though

Can't I use an API like CustomEnitiesAPI1.8

 

You can use the EntityTargetEvent and EntityDamageByEntityEvent to do this.
So basically when a player damages a entity make the mob target that entity.
Then in the EntityTargetEvent cancel the event when the mob wants to attack its Owner, so this basically makes its so that only entities around the owner are attacked. You can store the "mob helper" in a hashmap so the entity can be easily obtained again when need be.

Also you should take a look at the plugin: Faction Mobs.

I don't think that works for hostile mobs

 

Hostile mobs work with the EntityTargetEvent.

 

Can anybody do this? I don't have the time right now, and everybody is just gives more ideas, to how to do it.

 

@KoleDogCodes
Last time I checked it didn't because they have their own following system.

 

I only did it with the ender ddagon (that's how those ender dragon riding plugins work too). I never actually tested on a normal mob.
