Moving monsters with a certain speed

In one of my current projects I have to move monsters to different waypoints and I am doing it like this:

Code:

Monster monster = creep.getMonster();
EntityCreature ec = ((CraftCreature) monster).getHandle();
Block to = creep.getWaypoint().getBlock();
PathEntity pf = ((CraftWorld) to.getWorld()).getHandle().a(ec, to.getX(), to.getY(), to.getZ(), 16.0f, true, false, false, true);
if(monster instanceof PigZombie || monster instanceof CaveSpider || monsterinstanceof Blaze || monster instanceof Enderman) {
    ec.setPathEntity(pf);
}
else {
    Navigation nav = ec.getNavigation();
    nav.a(pf, 0.2f);
}

But just giving them waypoints isn't enough, I want to set their speed too. For the "old" mobs the else part is working (nav.a(pf, 0.2f)), the "new" mobs just ignore this part and do nothing, but the old ones will move to the PathEntity (pf) with the speed 0.2. The only way I know to controll the new is ec.setPathEntity(pf), but I can't set a speed here. Does anyone know how give the "new" mobs a certain movement speed?

Thanks for your help

what cass is the variable ec?

 

Sorry, I forgot to add this line... It's an EntityCreature

Bump...

 

one last bump

 

I have some code for this, remind me later and I'll dig it up, I'm not at my coding computer right now

 

I wouldn't mind to see how this one is done too. I'm interested

 

Code:java

private boolean walkTo(LivingEntity livingEntity, Location l, float speed) {
try {
return ((org.bukkit.craftbukkit.v1_5_R2.entity.CraftLivingEntity) livingEntity)
.getHandle().getNavigation()
.a(l.getX(), l.getY(), l.getZ(), speed);
} catch (Exception e) {
 
//do "OH GAWD WHY" stuff
 
}
}

Does this work?

 

I've already tried that before. Works on most mobs, but not all :\

Dang. Well sorry about that D':

 

I guess it works for every mob except Pigman, Cavespides, Blazes and Enderman

 

just use the CreatureSpawnEvent, then give them a speed potion

 

Speed potions are not accurate enough, but maby changing the Velocity of the mobs when they are moving could work.

There is still some hope! (bump)

Use the velocity method you suggested earlier. It's possible to simulate a player flying without actually activating it, so it should be possible to simulate a monster moving to a certain extent.
